Episode notes
INSIGHT

Winning Changes Perception Quickly

  • Winning reshapes narratives: Baker Mayfield's recent play has shifted perception from immaturity to moxie.
  • The hosts view the Buccaneers as a rising NFC threat centered on Mayfield's leadership and chemistry.
ADVICE

Don't Chase Bam Knight

  • Avoid overpaying for Bam Knight; he's a committee early-down back with limited pass-game role and a tricky upcoming schedule.
  • Spend minimal FAAB (0–5%) or wait until after the bye when managers may drop him.
ADVICE

Drop Low-Value RB Handcuffs

  • Drop Kenneth Gainwell if you need roster space; he's only handcuff value and inconsistent in the Eagles offense.
  • Similarly drop Amari Mercado and Hassan Haskins if superior waiver options are available.
