Having a great day, just a little busier than usual cause I snuck in the AMA, but I’m enjoying it so much we’re still going, haha.

No. We need to see him healthy first. But I do expect that he’ll be a good fantasy play down the stretch. He’s a buy.

Too long to go through, but I’ve talked about it on a couple of different podcasts over the years. Short versios is CFL beat writer for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, NFL content supervisor (while doing fantasy on the side), and then eventually my fantasy stuff did so well they let me do that full time. Very appreciative of the path that got me here.

I still like a healthy Collins over Dell, but they’re both in the low-end WR2/high-end WR3 range with a lot of spike-week potential - especially when Noah Brown and Woods are banged up.

I’d hold and hope we get good news on Burrow. As in, he only misses a week or two. But wouldn’t blame anyone if they want to trade him away, especially if you’re battling for one of the last playoffs spots. In that situation, I’d be looking for a top-10 WR or RB.

Covered this on Tuesday’s episode of theScore Fantasy Football Podcast. But off the top of my head Jalen Hurts, Jared Goff and Geno Smith stood out. I normally focus on the first week or two of the fantasy playoffs though. The goal is to get the title game and then it’s just a one vs. one matchup. So you can always stream that week.

Still expecting big things. Schedule is good and Aiyuk is the clear No. 1 receiver in that 49ers’ offense now. I’d hold or be looking to trade for him. Deebo being back doesn’t change that.

Save might be strong… but keep you in the mix? Definitely. Dobbs is in a great system with strong weapons and Justin Jefferson hopefully back soon. He also brings that rushing ability that can boost his fantasy numbers in down weeks. He’s an excellent fallback option.

This week versus the Panthers is the spot. Carolina gives up the 2nd most fantasy points to RBs. I’ve already dropped Pollard in the rest of season rankings, but if he can’t produce in this matchup, then he’ll fall much further. It’s funny what a couple more touchdowns could do to his fantasy numbers though. So hopefully some better TD luck is on the way for him.

Always want the elite players. Good matchups are a very positive data point in a player’s favor, but true stars often perform well in bad matchups. Chasing average players in good matchups is better used for the bottom of your lineup RB2/WR3/flex etc.

Go all-in for his backup Isaiah Likely. Solid prospect who we’ve seen him perform well in past opportunities. He’ll be a top waiver wire add next week.

The Panthers are THE MATCHUP. If Pollard doesn’t come through this week, then we’ll have to completely rethink things with him. But I’m expecting a good game from Pollard in the high-end RB2 or low-end RB1 range. And the Cowboys’ schedule is pretty favorable the rest of the way, so we should see some better stat lines from him down the stretch.

And yes, I expect Belichick will be coaching elsewhere in 2024. Don’t think he retires. Chargers or Commanders seem like the most likely destinations.

Unfortunately, there isn’t one stat or even a handful of stats that guide the way. It’s more about consuming as much information as possible between stats, film, injuries, coach/player quotes, etc. And then trying to put the puzzle together as the week goes along.

I wish there were an easy answer, but I haven’t found it yet. If I ever do you’ll know, cause I’ll have a lot more free time during the season, haha.
