ADVICE

Stash Kenneth Gainwell Carefully

  • Add Kenneth Gainwell as a handcuff/bench stash if available, but watch Pittsburgh's bye week timing.
  • Only start him when confirmed active and role persists after the bye.
ADVICE

Tajay Spears Is A Wait-To-Start Stash

  • Consider Tajay Spears as a PPR upside stash when he returns from IR, but don’t start him immediately.
  • Wait for health confirmation and snap ramp-up before rostering him in shallow leagues.
INSIGHT

Nabers' Injury Reorders Giants Targets

  • Malik Nabers' season-ending ACL creates target redistribution, elevating Wandale Robinson and Darius Slayton.
  • Robinson is the preferred pickup; Slayton is a cheaper boom-or-bust alternative in deeper leagues.
