Episode notes
Target Jordan Mason During Jones' Absence
- Expect Jordan Mason to take a heavy workload while Aaron Jones is out and target him in fantasy.
- Behrens called Mason a "hammer" who should handle 18–20 touches and be fantasy viable.

- Rookie running backs have underperformed early, and draft capital alone doesn't guarantee immediate fantasy returns.
- Behrens warns first-round rookies like Ashton Gentry could still finish with modest fantasy outputs.
Drop Risky Rookies In Small Leagues
