Episode notes
Target Kyle Menungai As Deep RB Play
- Consider Kyren Williams (Kyle Menungai?) deep: Menungai's recent 39% rush share and 10 attempts in back-to games yield upside vs. Cincinnati.
- Cincinnati allows the most adjusted fantasy points to running backs, boosting his deep-league appeal.
Play Alec Pierce For Big-Play Upside
- Start Alec Pierce in deeper formats against Pittsburgh because they've allowed massive passing yards above expectation.
- Pierce offers deep-play upside with recent target shares of 31% and 18% and the Steelers' poor pass defense.
Use Theo Johnson As TE Streamer
- Stream Theo Johnson at tight end for the Giants if you need a TE this week.
- Since Malik Nabers' injury, Johnson has a 20% target share and near-100% route participation in back-to games.
