Episode notes
ADVICE

Don't Trust Any Single Commanders RB Yet

  • After Austin Ekeler's injury, expect a multi-back committee: JaCory Brooks-Merritt for early-down work, Dexter McNichols on passing downs, and Chris Rodriguez sprinkled in.
  • Avoid starting any Commanders RB beyond desperation flex until one emerges as a clear lead back.
ADVICE

Prefer Devonta Adams Over Ridley This Week

  • Start Devonta Adams as a reliable WR2 for the Rams despite recent struggles; Calvin Ridley is a plausible start but riskier.
  • Prefer Adams slightly over Ridley and Jameson Williams in most formats this week.
ADVICE

Ricky Pearsall Is A Flex Start

  • Start Ricky Pearsall as at least a flex against New Orleans because he has a clear opportunity and Mac Jones tends to target his primary receiver.
  • Treat Pearsall as higher upside than Chris Olave this week, but expect limited QB downgrade risk.
