Episode notes
Target Drake London For Heavy Volume
- Consider Drake London as a high-upside second-round target because he should command heavy volume with Michael Penix.
- Prioritize him over similar ADP receivers if Mooney or McLeod stay limited.
Coaching Environment Elevates QBs
- Kevin O'Connell's system boosts fantasy QB outcomes, so JJ McCarthy inherits upside despite rookie uncertainties.
- Early-season receiver absences could delay McCarthy's top-tier fantasy trajectory.
Use A Late-Round Tight End Strategy
- Wait on tight end value in mid-rounds and consider late-round targets like Tucker Kraft or Jake Ferguson as high-upside plays.
- Use a barbell TE strategy: draft an elite TE or wait for late breakout candidates.
