0:00Hey Jeremiah Retzlaff here. Favorites and Fades. Normally we do rankings, myself and Pete.
0:05Pete and I will be back together next week.
0:08So I'm going to give you two favorites, two fades at each position for this week.
0:14Be right so you don't have to get right.
0:18Let's kick it off with favorites. Running back position, Jonah Coleman.
0:22And look, any dickhead out there can say start Jameer Gibbs.
0:26We're trying to get you some more gems and some sharp fades.
0:30So the names aren't going to be, you know, top five players per se.
0:35Right? So let's go. Jonah Coleman at the Panthers.
0:39Panthers are 31st versus running back position. We got a 20 burger in week eight for reception 63 yards for Jonah Coleman 41 rushing yards.
0:48I expect more on the ground between tackles, but our preseason read our scouting report on Jonah Coleman Jack of all trades is come to fruition.
0:57It's very satisfying. Fire him up at Panthers. Next up, Chase Brown at the Falcons.
1:0328th versus running back position. 16 fantasy points in week eight.
1:07Had that touchdown callback receiving touchdowns. So it could have been an even bigger day.
1:12Really good stretch here for Brown. He'll get the Steelers in a tough matchup, but then he gets the Commanders and Saints in the next two weeks.
1:22So three of the next four games are looking good.
1:26Fades at the running back position. Fades at the running back position.
1:30Josh Jacobs at the New England Patriots. Six. They are versus running back position.
1:353.27 and 1.86. That number is yards per carry for Josh Jacobs.
1:40So the receiving, ironically, it's been great usage in the receiving game, has saved Jacobs.
1:45Seven and six targets in both games back. And Jacobs has also found the end zone both weeks.
1:52So if he does not fall into the end zone, Josh Jacobs, it's going to get real ugly for his production.
2:00So I can see some regression there. I've got him on some teams, so I don't want the fade, but I got
2:08to call it how I see it. So you're still going to put him in the lineup, though, but we're tempering expectations on these fades.
2:17Temper expectations is how I would put it. Tyler Algier at the Seahawks.
2:22Their 19th versus running back position. We had a 36 point game.
2:26Algier is just going to flat out come back down to earth.
2:30Of course, you plug and play a guy on your bench when you need options.
2:36But by all means, you got to temper expectations.
2:39And you just don't get just those big games back to back like that from a guy like Tyler Algier.
2:47I would be very, very happy with 15. Like if you could sign it right now, I'd be like, boom, sign me up.
2:55Wide receiver favorites. Jordan Addison versus the Bills. Their 28th versus wide receiver position.
3:00And of course, as I mentioned earlier in the show, anybody can recommend some stud wide receivers.
3:06So I expect big things from Justin Jefferson. But on that track path, I am loving some Jordan Addison because we get Carson Wentz.
3:15If you recall, Jordan Addison had some chemistry with Carson Wentz last season.
3:20200 yard games in the four games they played together.
3:24Found the end zone twice. So fire up Jordan Addison.
3:27I love him as a flex play. Next up, George Pickens.
3:31All right. He's been a stud, but not as of late at the Colts.
3:36The Colts are six versus the wide receiver position.
3:40Last two weeks, 60 and 57 percent snap share.
3:43So sub 60 percent snap share for George Pickens.
3:46I expect the targets to go up squeaky wheel type of game upcoming.
3:51And then you also have to ask, why are the Cowboys talking about an emphasis on George Pickens?
3:58Losing does that. They need to make changes. So fire up George Pickens with confidence.
4:03If he doesn't go off this week, it's fair to be concerned, but we're not scared.
4:09We don't play scared. Fades. This one's going to hurt, but Adonai Mitchell at the Chiefs.
4:15Chiefs are second versus wide receiver position. Seven receptions on nine targets last week.
4:20142 yards and a receiving touchdown. So happy for him.
4:24There's no Garrett Wilson. It's looking like if there's no Garrett Wilson, it changes the defensive attention.
4:30And I expect the Jets to run into some trouble at Arrowhead against the Chiefs.
4:35It's just things are adding up so well for the Jets this week.
4:40Michael Wilson. He's another fade at the Seahawks. They're number one versus wide receiver position.
4:46You've got Gardner Minshew. No more Jacoby Bursette. I worry about Minshew because he really is the king of showing up, mop
4:54up duty, crushing, and then coming back down to earth.
4:57It's his M.O. So last week, Michael Wilson. Eight receptions.
5:0115 targets. 111 yards. And a touchdown. So 26.8 fantasy points.
5:05And you're saying, well, what's going on? How do you not just roll right back?
5:11I'm going to temper expectations as it was the Dallas Cowboys.
5:15And you have the element of surprise in Gardner Minshew.
5:18And now you get the Seahawks who can prepare.
5:22So I'm just going to say the same thing.
5:25I'd be very, very happy with a 15-point game.
5:28Kind of like the Tyler Algier corollary. So we shall see on that.
5:33We'll take a quick break. Let's hear from Podfather regarding SportFund.
5:37At Player Profiler, we love Dynasty. We love Seasonal Leagues.
5:41We love DFS. We love it all. And finally, a game exists that combines everything into one.
5:47In Dynasty, you want shares of players for their careers.
5:51Sport.fun has that. We want to beat our friends this Sunday and for the full season.
5:57Well, Sport.fun has that as well. Because Sport.fun is a fantasy sports trading game where your knowledge of NFL player performances this
6:05week, this season, and for their career matters. So I like to acquire the depressed assets that I know will increase in
6:13value, specifically players that are working through injuries. You get those players when they're on the upswing.
6:19Ride them. Cash them out. Do it again. Ride them up.
6:23Cash them out. Do it again. It's a place you build a long-term portfolio, but you win weekly, just like a Dynasty team.
6:31Sign up for a Sport.fun account now with a link in the description.
6:36You build a portfolio, you hold it for three weeks, and they'll give you a 50% rewards bonus.
6:43We have a channel for it in the Discord.
6:46It's going to be a good time. And you love to see it.
6:51Sport.fun there. Get out there. Here we go. Favorites and fades.
6:55We're continuing on to the quarterback position. A favorite of ours this week, Malik Willis versus the Lions.
7:01They're 32nd against the quarterback position. One thing we've been able to do entirely in all the weekly ranking shows with Pete,
7:10some of the shows that I have with Shev on the FFD, where we're looking at plays of the week.
7:17Who can we attack against the other side of the Buffalo Bills?
7:21Who can we attack on the other side of the Detroit Lions?
7:26So I love this. The Patriots game, it was tougher.
7:29Only got 14.6 fantasy points. But the prior two games, I really hope this continues and ends up being a trend.
7:37The prior two games, eight rushes in both contests each for Malik Willis.
7:42So if the Dolphins fix that, Willis has a big day.
7:46So to me, Dolphins' young talent is going to ascend in the second half, meaning we're going to get good games for Malik Willis.
7:55Whether Malik Willis is a future really remains to be seen.
7:59But it's funny, when you're on Sleeper or any of those apps that you're playing, you see that green right next to the matchup.
8:07It's Detroit Lions, and it's been like that all season.
8:11So fire up Malik Willis. You don't necessarily know, is it Caleb Douglas?
8:16Will it be Chris Bell? Malik Washington? Who can you really rely on right now?
8:21Why not just, instead of spread and shred, just make sure you get some of all in lifting the boat with somebody like Malik Willis.
8:31Next one, a favorite. Again, we're not out here.
8:34I'm not sitting here going to be, hey, play Josh Allen.
8:38It's too easy. Bo Nix at the Panthers. They're 15th versus the quarterback position.
8:43This is a deep cut. If you remember albums, when people actually had them, have a song like song 6, 7, 9, whatever.
8:51It was deep, and it was good. And that was a deep cut.
8:56That's what they called it. The overrunner in this game for the Broncos and the Panthers, 43.5.
9:02Low total. Broncos, 2.5 point favorites. I see this game opening into a low-key shootout.
9:08I think it's a sneaky over, and I expect Bo Nix to continue on his trajectory to get right.
9:15So that's a recommendation play. Superflex, as your second quarterback, I think you feel much better than you have in prior weeks.
9:23So again, going in the deep cut, if you've got any of those top 12 quarterbacks, you're starting them for consensus ranks.
9:31But Bo Nix, I think he's somebody that you should look for.
9:36So he's a gem out there. Pretty hidden, right?
9:39It's felt pretty hidden this whole season. Fades. Going back to the Jets front, I spoke about it with Adonai Mitchell.
9:47Geno Smith at the Chiefs. Six versus the quarterback position are the Chiefs.
9:51Tough environment. Smith has been the perfect streamer. Possible we have no Garrett Wilson.
9:56I'm leery of a big game for Smith. I expect more of a floor play for him.
10:03So that's just a simple read on that. And then this one is juicier.
10:08For me, it's Jayden Daniels versus Rams. I'm still plugging him in the lineup, but my expectations are absolutely tempered.
10:15The Rams are 13th versus the quarterback position. I personally, speaking of 13, I have Jayden Daniels ranked 13th.
10:22I am fading him this week. I don't trust him versus better competition and better coach teams.
10:28Part of that isn't necessarily Jayden Daniels' talent skill set.
10:32Part of that is the symptom of the coaching of the commanders.
10:36And I think we're going to have a new coach soon for the commanders.
10:42Whether it's in-season or off-season, I think we're going to have new coaching established for the commanders.
10:48The over-under suggests plenty of scoring, 48.5, with the commanders 4.5-point underdogs.
10:52But again, I just don't get a good feeling on any type of a ceiling game for Jayden Daniels.
10:59And in the comments, let me know if you kind of feel the same way too when it's easier, simple, nice, you know, like the Dallas Cowboys, Giants.
11:09I mean, God, NFC East opponents. You're like, oh, JD5 is going to go off.
11:15But some of these tougher defenses, I don't get that feeling like he could really go off.
11:21Let me know how you feel in the comments.
11:24Tight ends, favorites and fades. Sam Laporta at the Dolphins.
11:28So you notice a little correlation. A lot of Lions.
11:32A lot of Dolphins this week. Sam Laporta at the Dolphins.
11:36They're 30th against the tight end position. Laporta for me is a 6-ringed tight end this week.
11:42Back-to-back duds. So it's a good recommendation here for that fact because back-to-back bad games.
11:48Off the bye week. Two weeks leading into the bye week for Sam Laporta, he had 22 and 19 fantasy points.
11:55So a little bit of like a Dalton Kincaid kind of issue.
12:00So I'm going to say that Laporta finds the end zone and he gets right versus Dolphins.
12:06Just a perfect matchup. The ball bounces his way.
12:09This next one, I don't love it, but it's Tyler Warren versus the Cowboys.
12:1416th versus the tight end. This one's a little scary because if Warren doesn't hit this week, I'm afraid he may be cooked for the season.
12:24But right now, he gets the Cowboys and then Tyler Warren gets the Dolphins next week.
12:30So Tyler Warren, for those of you who are trying to manage your redraft streets, he may provide a sell window for
12:38you in these next two weeks if you kind of want to get out.
12:43Hey, look how good Tyler Warren's doing. Maybe Jonathan Taylor gets traded and then, oh, he's all they got on the offense.
12:51Josh Downs could get traded. So you're kind of racking your brain for all these justifications if you want to get out of the Tyler Warren business.
13:01And the over-under in that game, 51.5, and the Colts are 5.5 point underdogs.
13:06And then my one lone fade at the tight end position because you can really justify a lot of tight end plays
13:14because, my God, look at Mike Gusecki. What's he scored?
13:18Six out of seven games, a touchdown. Like just clockwork.
13:21War value. Well, if I've got Mike Gusecki, he may not spike value me, but he's not going to completely zero out and bottom out.
13:31I'm getting some points. Seven to ten points. Hey, I'll take it, right?
13:35One fade at the tight end position is Dalton Kincaid.
13:39At the Vikings, their first versus the tight end position.
13:43It's kind of like whack-a-mole, Matthew Barry. One week, he's awesome, excellent.
13:47Next week, he doesn't really show up. So that's the issue with Dalton Kincaid.
13:52I'm just inconsistent. I have him ranked 15th this week.
13:56So 18.6 fantasy points last week. The problem there is there's a Jamison Williams element where there's a three-point games out there as well.
14:05I think it's been two games where he's had like three points.
14:09So really tough. And I forgot. I have one more tight end fade.
14:14Dallas Goddard versus the Giants. Giants are 12th versus the tight end position.
14:19The Giants are one of the plays that Pete has the Giants as a play.
14:24And on the defensive streamer earlier in the week, I had the Giants listed as well.
14:30Joe Milton is in that quarterback. So it's really tough to project how this offense will shape.
14:36It brings some volatility. That invites more of a floor game for Dallas Goddard.
14:41And you have to understand getting peppered with targets.
14:45I'm not so sure how much Joe Milton is going to play in that style to favor somebody like Dallas Goddard.
14:52So just a fade for me this week. The over-under, 38.5 points.
14:57The Giants are favored by three. And on the whole slate total, it's the lowest game total on the slate.
15:04So that should be cause for concern just on a broader scale when you have Eagles and Giants.
15:11For me, I'm sitting there thinking like, man, I really hope the Giants dog walk where I've got Malik neighbors or where you have Isaiah Likely.
15:20But a lot of caution in this game just because something smells funny.
15:25With that over-under. So I've been Coach Retzlaff. Thrive this week.
15:29We'll see you next week. Pete and I will get on the same page.
15:34We'll be back. We'll be reunited. So go out and win your week.
