Episode notes
Volume Can Be Capped By Offensive Context
- High usage doesn't guarantee top finishes when team offense is inefficient; volume can be capped by low scoring.
- Ashton Gentry may have a safe floor but limited ceiling if Raiders underperform offensively.
Cowboys Could Support Two Elite WRs
- One offense can produce two top-12 WRs when it forced-throws and plays in many shootouts.
- Cowboys' weak run game and poorer defense increase weekly pass attempts, lifting CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens' ceilings.
Scheme Fits Warren's Rookie Upside
- Tyler Warren's college usage and Shane Steichen's RPO-heavy scheme create a path to early TE targets.
- Warren can exploit frozen linebackers and produce rookie TE fantasy value via short-area work and screens.
