Edge 3: TE Pivot After Kraft — Usage > Box Score

Category: Fantasy Football Edge Analysis; Date: 11/06/2025

Info Box

In short: Musgrave is a usage‑dependent streamer. Treat him as viable only if his routes and Adjusted Yards Per Route Run thresholds are met by Sunday AM; otherwise, pivot to safer Tight End options.

Data summary: Tucker Kraft’s torn ACL ends his season, elevating Luke Musgrave into a potential primary role that must be validated by routes/AYPRR thresholds before streaming[DATA_NEEDED] Metrics
To finalize Musgrave’s Edge:
Routes % (Weeks 1–9)
AYPRR (Weeks 1–9)
Red‑zone looks (RZ)
Targets per route run (TPRR)
👉 Obtain via FantasyLife Utilization logs and advanced analytics providers (Sumersports, FantasyPros). These confirm whether Musgrave’s role is strong enough to stream.
Confidence band: Low Confidence — Stream only if multiple usage triggers alignRisk levels:
High: Multiple stable triggers (FP Friday + gold routes + favorable total).
Medium: One primary trigger secured.
Low: Contingent alignment only.

    ✅ Action Guidance

    Do This:

    • Do This: Stream Musgrave only if Sunday AM confirms routes ≥65%, AYPRR ≥0.9, and ≥2 RZ looks.
    • Else: Fall back to Rankings tiers and avoid chasing box score lines.

    Scenarios:

    FP Friday: Narrows uncertainty; usage more reliable.

    LP Friday: Sustains volatility; monitor closely.

    DNP Friday: Expands downside; fade.

    👉 Always re‑check game totals and inactives 90 minutes pre‑kick to confirm environment and availability.

    Interpretation & Next Steps

    This Edge outlines when and why the player is a recommended start/sit based on practice status, usage metrics, and game context.


    [DATA_NEEDED] markers show where specific stats (routes %, targets, red‑zone looks, aDOT, AYPRR, etc.) should be filled in from trusted sources like FantasyLife, Sumersports, or your own charting.


    If you have the data: plug it in to confirm the base/optimistic/pessimistic scenarios.


    If you don’t yet: wait for Friday practice reports and update Sunday morning if needed.


    Action step: follow the “Do This” guidance once the key thresholds are confirmed (e.g., full practice Friday, ≥70% routes, ≥2 red‑zone looks).

    👉 In short: treat [DATA_NEEDED] as a reminder to verify usage stats, then apply the scenario guidance to make a confident, auditable lineup decision.

    🔄 Crossover: Weekly Trade Discipline

    Mirror lineup discipline with trade discipline:

    1. Review open trades/counters impacting Sunday starters.
    2. Set 24‑hour reply deadlines; cancel idle offers 90 minutes pre‑kick.
    3. Validate ≥+8 projected delta with Week 10 Rankings; abort at <+6.
    4. Cross‑check waivers vs. trade goals to avoid redundancy.
    5. Archive dead threads by Saturday noon to protect Sunday focus.

    👉 Heads‑up: Checking back on Friday PM will reveal the key thresholds (practice status, route share, red‑zone looks) that determine whether this Edge is a confident start or needs to be re‑tiered.
