The brief
Daniel Dopp and Eric Moody open with Malik Nabers’ huge showing, then question the Giants’ quarterback situation and Cam Skattebo’s complete disappearance from the offense.
Jeremy Bernard’s consecutive productive games make him a waiver-wire priority, while Jacksonville’s young offense and Trevor Lawrence create a timely quarterback-streaming conversation.
Colston Loveland’s breakout rewards patience with his routes and snaps, but Kyle Pitts’ scoring game cannot hide disappointing usage for Bijan Robinson and Drake London.
Philadelphia struggles without Jalen Hurts, the Rams disappoint against Arizona, and Washington’s passing volatility complicates the value of Emeka Egbuka and other targets.
Ken Walker stands out for reliable workload and scoring, before the hosts turn to injuries involving Romeo Doubs, A.J. Brown, Ladd McConkey, and Davante Adams.
