Episode notes
Play Fields In Elite Matchups
- Start Justin Fields in favourable matchups even if his production feels volatile; treat him as a 'hot dog' QB with very high upside.
- Accept the nausea and volatility; play him when matchup and upside align (e.g., vs. Dallas).
Start Chase Brown Unless You Have Safety
- You can bench Chase Brown for a week if you lack confidence, but most rosters should still start him for his guaranteed opportunity.
- Only sit him if you have a clear, safer alternative you can sleep with at night.
Woody Marks Is Upside-Heavy, Not Guaranteed
- Woody Marks offers true upside after his breakout, but his immediate role remains uncertain and waiver frenzy can overvalue him.
- If you added Marks, starting him this week is reasonable, but don't assume instant top-10 RB status.
