Episode notes
Use Jennings Only As Injury-Driven Play
- Treat Juwan Jennings as a speculative start when key 49ers receivers remain injured and Brock Purdy is questionable.
- Avoid starting him into tough matchups like Houston unless you need bye-week production.
Diggs Produces Despite Limited Snap Share
- Stefon Diggs plays sub-60% snaps yet produces WR1-level fantasy when targeted heavily.
- His ceiling improves significantly if snap share and red-zone usage increase.
Downgrade Pats/Browns Running Backs This Week
- Downgrade Patriots and Browns backfield starters for Week 8 because both defenses suppress RB fantasy production.
- Avoid relying on Quincey Judkins or Raymond Stevenson for mid-high RB2 outputs this week.
