Episode notes
Michael Pittman Could Be A Fantasy Fade
- Michael Pittman's move to Pittsburgh may help in real-life alignment but could be a downgrade for fantasy due to declining efficiency and volume dependence.
- Pittman posted his worst yards per reception and has been volume-dependent throughout his career.
Price Travis Etienne Based On Rate Not Just Volume
- Don’t overpay for Travis Etienne purely on role; value his volume but recognize he was solid not elite in rate metrics last year.
- Etienne ranked low in rushing yards over expected and failed to hit a 10% target share despite heavy usage.
Jaguars Backfield Splits Favor Pass Catcher Upside
- Jaguars backfield now splits between Chris Rodriguez and Bashaud Breeland [Bashal Tootin], with Rodriguez a downhill runner and Tootin the higher-upside pass-catching candidate.
- Rodriguez has elite tackle-breaker and after-contact metrics but only six NFL catches; few RBs with <20 catches in three years later become PPR-relevant.
