Episode notes
Use Justin Fields For High-Upside QB Starts
- Start Justin Fields in Week 5 if you need upside from QB due to rushing and matchup.
- Fields ranks elite in fantasy because he mixes rushing with 200+ passing yard games this season.
Chase Brown's Value Hinges On Efficiency
- Chase Brown's low efficiency and the Bengals' brutal early schedule explain underwhelming fantasy output.
- Improved schedule ahead plus heavy snap share could restore Brown's fantasy value if production follows touches.
Be Cautious With AJ Brown vs. Surtain
- Avoid treating AJ Brown as a must-start against Pat Surtain II due to tight coverage and chemistry issues.
- Consider pivoting to other options because Surtain shadows perimeter WRs and limits elite production.
