Episode notes
Buy Into Colts Skill-Position Players
- Buy Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren now if you can, as usage and volume are rising.
- Adjust rosters and target these Colts pieces before prices climb in trades.
Jared Goff Has Strong Indoor Split
- The Lions' performance swings are tied heavily to indoor/outdoor splits for Jared Goff.
- Goff is fringe QB1 indoors but unreliable on the road, so start/sit accordingly.
Stream Backup QBs Strategically
- For waiver streaming, prioritize Marcus Mariota and Mac Jones if their starters remain out.
- Mariota offers the highest fantasy ceiling as a dual-threat fill-in; Jones provides a safe Shanahan-style floor if Purdy can't play.
