| 4 | Will ShipleyRB · PHI | @ TENSmash spot | speculative | 4% | Sits directly behind Saquon Barkley with 62% of that workload transferring. Philadelphia's line makes any starter behind it startable. |
| 5 | Brian Robinson Jr.RB · WAS | @ DALSmash spot | streamer | 6% | Brian Robinson Jr. draws @ DAL (smash spot) and still projects 122 points on the season with 0 over replacement at RB. |
| 6 | Tyler AllgeierRB · ATL | vs CARNeutral | speculative | 2% | Sits directly behind Bijan Robinson with 72% of that workload transferring. Allgeier has already been a 1,000-yard back when Bijan sat. |
| 7 | Jauan JenningsWR · SF | vs MIANeutral | speculative | 3% | Jauan Jennings draws vs MIA (neutral) and still projects 156 points on the season with 36 over replacement at WR. |

| 10 | Isaac GuerendoRB · SF | vs MIANeutral | speculative | 2% | Sits directly behind Christian McCaffrey with 75% of that workload transferring. Highest-leverage handcuff on the board given the injury history. |

| 12 | Rashee RiceWR · KC | vs INDNeutral | speculative | 3% | Rashee Rice draws vs IND (neutral) and still projects 146 points on the season with 26 over replacement at WR. |
| 13 | David MontgomeryRB · DET | @ BUFTough | speculative | 2% | Sits directly behind Jahmyr Gibbs with 68% of that workload transferring. Already a standalone starter — the rare handcuff you draft on merit. |
| 14 | Aaron JonesRB · MIN | @ CHINeutral | speculative | 3% | Aaron Jones draws @ CHI (neutral) and still projects 158 points on the season with 36 over replacement at RB. |

| 17 | MarShawn LloydRB · GB | @ NYJSmash spot | speculative | 2% | Sits directly behind Josh Jacobs with 60% of that workload transferring. Green Bay rotates, but the goal-line work would consolidate. |

| 19 | Jameson WilliamsWR · DET | @ BUFTough | speculative | 1% | Jameson Williams draws @ BUF (tough) and still projects 164 points on the season with 44 over replacement at WR. |

Planning week 2
Claims are decided before the matchup, so read this board on Tuesday and set your bid before you know how anyone else feels about the name. The score behind each player is the same one used all season — value over replacement adjusted for the defense he faces — which means a player can be a must-add in week 2 and a bench hold two weeks later without anything about him changing.
If a bye week is thinning your lineup, fill the hole from the drop list first: moving a player you were never going to start is cheaper than winning a bidding war.
