Episode notes
ADVICE

Bench The Fragile RB Role

  • Bench the RB with the shallowest role when forced to cut one from Judkins, Travion Henderson, and RJ Harvey.
  • Prefer benching Jerome Judkins because his role and game script look most fragile.
ADVICE

Choose Maye For Upside; Mononga If Hall Is Limiting

  • If you need upside, start Drake Maye over Joe Burrow in a shootout-prone matchup.
  • For shaky Breece Hall health, pivot to Kyle Mononga if Hall's knee flares or he risks DNP status.
ADVICE

Don’t Tank Playoffs For A Slight Draft Edge

  • Don’t tank playoff games in dynasty simply to chase a marginally better draft slot.
  • Play to win because unexpected events and trade equity can change your team's value more than one pick.
