Seth McGowan at Jacksonville: Pure Handcuff Stash in Negative Script
Operating as the primary backup behind Jonathan Taylor, McGowan has seen a sharp surge in fantasy roster rates, climbing to 41% this week. He has looked effective in limited work, averaging 4.9 yards per carry on 15 rushing attempts over his last two games. Even so, his minimal start percentage reflects that managers rightly view him as an insurance stash rather than a standalone contributor.
With Indianapolis entering as 10-point road underdogs against Jacksonville, negative game script could heavily restrict non-starting backfield opportunities. Our weekly projection models expect minimal involvement, slating him for roughly 4 carries, 17 rushing yards, and 2.8 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should leave him parked on benches this week, though he remains an essential bench hold for Taylor drafters.

Jaydon Blue at Washington — Deep Stash Poised for Opportunity Amid Backfield Injuries
The Eagles are dealing with severe attrition in their backfield, with Dameon Pierce on injured reserve and starter Saquon Barkley questionable after missing practice with hamstring and back injuries. Listed behind Barkley on the depth chart, Blue has seen his roster rate jump to 12% as fantasy managers anticipate a potential expanded role against Washington.
Our weekly projections currently pencil Blue in for just 2.9 fantasy points on roughly three carries and a target, reflecting uncertainty around his touches if Barkley suits up. However, if Barkley is sidelined or limited, Blue immediately enters the flex conversation as a priority stash who could command meaningful volume in a competitive division matchup.
