IC LITE – CHEAT SHEET ::

SLATE SNAPSHOT ::

• Sharp drop to the top — most games cluster well below ceiling range, making the slope toward the best environments unusually steep.
• Fragile chalk at RB — the most expensive backs carry high ownership but narrow paths to the ceilings their price demands.
• RB eats the salary — money flows to running back first, compressing wide receiver and tight end into mid-tier pairings.
• Late-news dependent — Flowers, McConkey, and Okonkwo statuses will redistribute targets and reshape stacks between Saturday night and lock.

CHALK / FIELD SHAPE ::

• RB ownership is top-heavy — Bijan Robinson is approaching massive ownership; Henry and McCaffrey draw similar gravity, leaving Javonte Williams and Bucky Irving as build-defining forks.
• WR is compressed and expansive — no single receiver dominates ownership, offering the widest leverage surface on the slate.
• TE is a late-news position — Collins out lifts Schultz, Flowers doubtful lifts Andrews, Okonkwo out consolidates Washington’s passing work.
• Saturday-to-lock surges expected — casual money will push toward McCaffrey, Robinson, Chase, and Jefferson, widening leverage gaps at mid-tier.
