Episode notes
Target High-Upside Backup RBs

Injury Wave Creates Volatile Opportunities
- A wave of injuries creates many short-term fantasy opportunities but lowers overall reliability for semifinals.
- Expect more volatile waiver targets rather than dependable long-term replacements.
Stream Minshew For Week 16
- Pick up Gardner Minshew for a one-week streamer role due to a very favorable matchup versus the Titans.
- Rank him slightly above Bryce Young and Taylor Heinicke for Week 16 starts in desperate situations.
