Hey, hey, hey! It’s your boy Jai, and I’m here to drop some knowledge on you about fantasy football handcuffs! You know, those undervalued players who can become your new BFF (Best Fantasy Friend) when your starter gets hurt.
What are Handcuffs?
A good handcuff is like a reliable ride-or-die, fam. They got the skills and the experience to step in and provide consistent production when you need it most. And let me tell you, having a solid handcuff on your roster can be a GAME-CHANGER .
Finding Good Handcuffs
So, how do you find these fantasy football handcuffs?
- Look for Backups with Significant Playing Time : If a player is seein’ regular snaps as the backup, they’re more likely to be a good handcuff.
- Check for Skillset Similarity : A good handcuff should have similar strengths and weaknesses to the starter. It’s like findin’ a clone, son!
- Consider Team Depth Charts : If a player is listed high on the depth chart, they’re more likely to take over if the starter gets hurt.
Examples of Handcuffs
Now, let me give you some examples of fantasy football handcuffs:
- When Jaylen Warren (RB) was gettin’ all the hype, Audric Est (RB) was his reliable backup. Now that Warren’s gettin’ all the love, it’s time to ride with Est!
- If Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR) goes down, Drake Namor (WR) is a solid option to have on your roster.
Don’t Sleep on These Handcuffs!
Don’t sleep on these handcuffs, fam! They can be the difference between win and loss in your league.
