1148: Mailbag - The Denver Offense, Matthew Golden, and More

The Denver Broncos' struggling offense is under scrutiny as they rank near the bottom of the league in several key metrics, including offensive touchdowns per game and yards per play. Despite their current performance, historical data suggests a potential for improvement in the coming weeks. Analysis of comparable teams from previous seasons indicates that many offenses that started poorly eventually saw a rebound. This trend raises cautious optimism for players like Jalen Waddell, who may benefit from an uptick in offensive efficiency.

In response to questions about player performance, the podcast delves into the nuances of usage statistics in fantasy football. It explains that a running back's performance exceeding expectations based on their usage can indicate they are outperforming their situation, but warns that such variance may not be sustainable over the long term. Analysts emphasize the importance of adapting to new information, particularly regarding players like Matthew Golden, who has emerged as a top performer despite initial skepticism about his potential.

Finally, the discussion touches on the value of trading for injured players, highlighting DJ Moore and Ladd McConkie as potential buy-low candidates. Both players have shown strong underlying metrics, suggesting they could provide significant value if they can stay healthy and return to form. The conversation underscores the volatility of fantasy football and the need for managers to remain flexible and responsive to changing player situations.

On this week's mailbag episode, JJ talks about Denver's offense potentially bouncing back, Matthew Golden's awesome start, Josh Jacobs' projection, and more.
