0:00Welcome back to the Redraft Show brought to you by the FF Dynasty and the FF Dynasty and today we're bringing you our plays of the week.
0:09We're bringing you the heroes and the fades for Week 6.
0:13So we're going to give you our favorite plays.
0:17We've got four running back plays, three running back fades.
0:20About three of each at each position. So without standing on further ceremony to bother to borrow a phrase from the great Bane and the Dark Knight Rises.
0:30Coach, why don't you get us into your heroes at the running back position on the week?
0:36Hey, let's start off with, this is a little more chalk, Shev.
0:40Javante Williams, I have him seventh overall ranked this week.
0:44Javante Williams is a favorite of ours, Shev. Green Bay is 31st versus the run.
0:49It's at Green Bay. And Javante Williams, he's a great play.
0:53The over under in this game. 52 and a half.
0:56The Packers are favored by one and a half.
0:59I think this is just perfect, right? For a shootout, we're going to get all the galore of what we want in a fantasy outcome.
1:08So it's going to lead off with Javonte Williams.
1:11Next one up, this is less chalk. And this is sometimes more satisfying and fun to call because, you know, a lot
1:19of people could say, hey, start Kenneth Walker, right?
1:22We always talk about that. Next one, Damian Pierce versus the Panthers.
1:26The Panthers are 29th first in running back position.
1:30And you may say to yourself, well, wait a second, Jalen Hurts is now out.
1:35He's hurt, literally. And Tanner McKee, what's going to happen?
1:38I venture to say that there may not be as much of a drop off from the pass game in this next matchup, as people may think.
1:48And it is a porous Carolina Panthers run defense.
1:51So I really like the idea of Damian Pierce because we have declared out now, say, Quan Barkley.
1:57I like this matchup. And it's one where you've been able to pick up on the waiver wire.
2:04It's been a cheaper acquisition, but it's been tough out there.
2:08A lot of benches are stuffed with IR players.
2:11Your IR spots are maxed out. And you're like, this isn't even Dynasty.
2:15This is redraft. And you're like, ah, surely I can keep this player.
2:20And then it doesn't happen. And you're like, how can I keep Trey Harris on my team?
2:26I have to drop him. I mean, Shev, you spoke to Casey Concepcion.
2:30You got to make a decision between he and Jeremy Bernard.
2:34And it hurt. A lot of that has to do with all the players going down, including here, take on Barkley.
2:42But a hero for us will be Damian Pierce.
2:45Will Shipley out and hurt his clarity to that backfield, at least for this week.
2:50Next up, Ramondre Stevenson versus Jets. 23rd versus the running back position.
2:54Now we do have, looks like Travion Henderson is going to play.
2:59He's miraculously healed. But more Belcal share in mind was there too when we were making this with no Travion Henderson.
3:06But even with, I want some Ramondre Stevenson. So fire him up.
3:10And then we just got news. Josh Jacobs, week seven.
3:14He's going to be back, going to be ready, available to play, tackle football.
3:19Well, Marshawn Lloyd, one more week against these Cowboys.
3:22They've allowed the most rushing yards. Again, I spoke to the 52 and a half over under.
3:28So that's a satisfying one. When I do a streamer show for kickers and defense, Brandon Aubrey's always taken.
3:34But if there's somebody else on the other side, kicker wise, I like to take that kicker.
3:40And it's a lesser known player. Lesser known from a DFS concept.
3:45Roster ship percentage is going to be somebody like Marshawn Lloyd versus the chalk and Javante.
3:50But give me Marshawn Lloyd versus the Cowboys. Jeff, tell us about the running back phase.
3:56Let me tell you something. I'm going to tell you something real good.
4:00You're going to wake up on Sunday morning. If you got Woody Marks in your lineup, there's a very, very, very strong
4:08chance that you're going to be very upset with what's going on.
4:12So on this season, the Jacksonville Jaguars have allowed just 210 yards and two rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs.
4:19That's including all running backs that they've played thus far throughout the first five weeks of the season.
4:26They've only allowed 30 receptions. No running back has exceeded, has exceeded.
4:30Okay. Outside of Chase Brown has exceeded three receptions.
4:33Chase Brown, 11 receptions. Obviously there's an outlier there.
4:36So 11 of their 30 receptions came in one week.
4:40Outside of that, it's 19 over the course of the other five weeks of the season.
4:45Okay. Or four weeks, however many weeks we're in week six now.
4:50So the other five weeks, whatever you get what I'm saying.
4:53Uh, math is hard sometimes, but we're fading. Woody marks this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars third fewest points allowed to the
5:01running back position on top of the fact that we're just praying either for past game utilization, like extreme past game, Chase
5:09Brown level utilization, or, or him to fall in the end zone for a touchdown.
5:14I can't bank on that. So I have Woody marks.
5:18I have Woody marks as a fade here. I'm just going to pull up real quick and tell you exactly where I have him in my rankings.
5:27Cause it makes me ever so slightly uncomfortable. So he's at RB 21 and same.
5:32And I, I feel like this is very, very touchdown dependent.
5:36Like that's it's if he doesn't get a touchdown, we're going to, we could be looking outside of the top 40 as a finish.
5:45So that brings us to our next fade, which is going to be Tyler Algier.
5:50Now this was going to be Jeremiah love Jeremiah love who, who you felt.
5:55I don't know if there's just a Jeremiah mind meld, but in a press conference, he was talking about how this has
6:03been the longest season of his career between the combine and all everything that you said about rookies and them hitting that
6:10proverbial wall is what he alluded to. So shout out to you for understanding the cycle and understanding ball.
6:17That brings us to our next point. Tyler Al's year.
6:21No bueno, no good for me. The Rams are 15th versus the running back.
6:26Like this is a game where I feel like he could get game scripted out and honestly be outscored by bam night.
6:33Just imagine those words being said together in the year of our Lord, 2026.
6:38Hey, say your hail Mary, say your prayers, put Tyler Al's year on your bench.
6:43There are better days ahead. And then last but not least, we're going to go to the chargers backfield.
6:50I one, we started, we, you talked about playing whack-a-mole.
6:54We're trying to pick what weeks Jameson Williams would be usable.
6:57But we're now Mike McDaniel known, known Al coach, a member, Mike McDaniel, Mike bin Laden, McDaniel bin Laden has come in
7:05and not only made this into a three-way committee with just no foreseeable path to anyone to have like a dominant backfield share to give us fantasy relevance.
7:15But they're playing the chiefs who have been absolute, who've been just an absolute hammer against running backs.
7:21They're only allowing 17.4 running back points per week.
7:25Only three rushing TDs allowed at the week five by.
7:28So that's in four games, but you're not lining.
7:31You're not lining the ball, lining it up and running the ball on the chiefs.
7:36That's just not what's happening. And you don't even know if they, if the chargers did decide to do that, you don't
7:44even know who would be the guy. Who would you be?
7:48Who would you be picking to tote the tater, to tote the mail against the chiefs?
7:54Well, like I said, I'm telling you right now, that's not something that you want to get.
8:00That's not how that's not type of business you want to get involved in.
8:05So moving on to some business, you do want to get involved in the business of Denzel Boston.
8:11Let me tell you something. The Ravens are 24th versus a wide receiver.
8:16We just saw a couple of weeks ago, them get lit up in a worse offense by Carnell Tate, Gospel George, hit them for nine for 145.
8:25This could be the breakout performance for Denzel Boston.
8:28We've been getting, we've been getting the breadcrumbs of a breakout and just seeing him be dominant.
8:34Currently leading all rookie wide receivers in yards and receptions.
8:38And I believe in touchdowns as well. Denzel Boston this week is going to be one of our favorite plays because one,
8:45despite having Nate Wiggins and Marshall and Marlon Humphrey and Kyle Hamilton, the Ravens are 24th versus a wide receiver.
8:52We're playing this all the way out. We're going to go for it.
8:57Small tile Deshaun Watson and Denzel Boston are going to make magic this week and not the happy ending time.
9:04So we're going to move on to Rome Odunze and a 52 and a half point over under.
9:10Now that Penix is confirmed to start, this is a battle of 2024 quarterbacks here.
9:16Caleb Williams has recovered from the miraculous case of tendernism that we thought ended his life when he got carted off the field.
9:24He's back. And now what I think Roma Dunze is going to be the most consistent weapon in this offense.
9:31Jeremiah, we all off season. It was, it was, it was Colston Loveland.
9:35It was Luther burden. It was everybody, but Rome, everybody hates Rome.
9:39Now Rome is he who remains. So he's led them in route share route snap share the last, the last few weeks without him.
9:48I think Caleb comes in. This is kind of a statement game for both teams.
9:53Both teams believe the Falcons are sitting at two and three, the Viking, or excuse me, the bears are sitting at three and two.
10:02And this is kind of, I mean, it's obviously a palindrome game, but we're going to be able to really determine some things after this week.
10:11So I'm firing up Roma Dunze with confidence. And then last but not least, the Buffalo Bills wide receiver room has sneakily become one of great utility.
10:20If DJ Moore's out there, you're playing. If Keon Coleman's out there, he had a bunch of receptions call back this week.
10:28I'm playing him. I'm staying in the flames if DJ Moore doesn't play.
10:33And then last but not least, we had a 55 yard reception from Khalil Shakir last week.
10:39And I just think that all these guys are going to have some sort of utility.
10:44Raiders are 20th versus wide receivers. I don't know that I have a fade from this Raiders game that I don't feel great about.
10:53But Buffalo Bills wide receiver room, DJ Moore, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, we're running them all out there this week.
11:00And a high 52 and a half point over under game.
11:03Why don't you tell us about the guys that you're after and you're trying to sit or you have very bearishly ranked due to matchups this week?
11:13I'll give you one here. And this translates with the positional players that they're tied to.
11:19Our phase for the wide receiver, Shev, it's going to lead off with Terry McLaurin.
11:2449ers are seventh versus wide receiver position. It's an over under 51 and a half.
11:29So you expect a lot of scoring, right? But the 49ers are seven and a half point favorites.
11:35I have issue though, where against good coaching, better coach teams, the Washington Commanders, maybe it's a Dan Quinn thing.
11:42It's a combination of JD five. There can be accountability all across the board, right?
11:48They're solvable. The Commanders offense is solvable. The Giants weren't solving a lot of problems last week.
11:54And you saw the better part of JD five before he got hurt.
11:58JD five against the Cowboys. The Cowboys got smoked against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Jalen Daniels, the other JD.
12:05Okay. I'm just not so confident in these Commanders.
12:08Hesitant on them. And I've got a fade on Terry McLaurin.
12:12Another point to that tangentially, Caleb Williams, I have him as QB five this week.
12:18Jane Daniels. I have down at QB 10. You would think they could be neck and neck, but I want to fire up Caleb Williams immediately.
12:27I'm bearish. Ironically, I'm talking about a bear, but I'm bearish on the Commanders and Terry McLaurin.
12:33The Buccaneers next up. Buccaneers wide receivers. We mentioned Jalen Daniels.
12:37Steelers are six against wide receiver position. I don't think too much explanation needs to go in there.
12:43You're hoping if you have a Mecca Bucca that you're luck boxing into maybe a 30 yard touchdown.
12:49And then you're on your path to maybe scraping 10 points together.
12:53It is pretty ugly. I think it's going to be an ugly outcome.
12:58You're firing up Steelers defense in leagues where you have them.
13:02And they're 38 and a half over under. We talked about this pre show, Chef, where you just scrape in mind value.
13:1038 and a half points. You're not going to get much on both sides.
13:15So Buccaneers wide receivers. You're fading. Again, the buy signals out there on Dynasty.
13:19For Bucky Irving, receivers, Ted Hurst, Mecca Bucca. Next up, Lab McConkie and greater outcome.
13:25Chargers wide receivers at the Chiefs. They're number one versus wide receiver position.
13:29It's been disappointing. It's been dog shit, terrible, bad for the Chargers.
13:34Would it be purely the NFL, Chef, if the Chargers went out and upset the Chiefs?
13:39Absolutely. Have the game of their life. Have a dead cat bounce game.
13:44Play their Super Bowl after losing for five weeks.
13:47Sure. But fantasy wise, we're not expecting it. And the Chiefs are coming off a bye week.
13:53Baiting Lab McConkie and the Chargers. Now for heroes.
13:56We love some Packers. We love some Cowboys. It stands to reason we love Jordan Love.
14:02Versus the Dallas Cowboys. 27th versus the quarterback position.
14:05That game is over 50 for the over-under. It's at home.
14:09There'll be another throw mode game before Josh Jacobs comes back with that deleterious offensive line.
14:14I love this for Tucker Craft, for Christian Watson, of course.
14:18And why not? Matthew Golden is truncated beautifully. And it's set up very well for Jordan Love.
14:24He's carved up the Cowboys in the past. Now he gets them at home.
14:29Next up, Kirk Cousins. We love him as a hero this week.
14:3329th versus the quarterback are the Bills. This game has gone up to 53.5 for an over-under.
14:39Perfect dome conditions out in Vegas. I just love it.
14:43You can set your watch by it this season, Chef.
14:46Game totals with the Lions and the Buffalo Bills.
14:49You're bound to profit if you invest in those opponents on that given week.
14:54Don't hold the Cardinals to that standard. But you get my drift.
14:59And next up, welcome back from the tendernism. Caleb Williams.
15:02The Falcons are 20th versus the quarterback. We have a high over-under total game.
15:07You mentioned the shootout element of Michael Penix and Caleb Williams.
15:11Battle of same-class quarterbacks. I love it. I'm so excited.
15:14I think this is going to be good for Colson Loveland.
15:18It's going to be very good for Roma Doones Day, of course.
15:22So stack share there. And Luther Burden. So I'm very happy that Caleb Williams is back.
15:28And a lot of discounts that were out there on Bears, you're not going to get come Monday after the Bears thrive.
15:36So why don't you tell us, Shev, about some of our fades at the quarterback position.
15:41ISO, ISO, ISO. All right, look. We're going Geno Smith against the Patriots.
15:46Their eighth versus the quarterback. They found something in Gabe Yacos and Christian, or not Christian Ponder, but the Ponder guy, Elijah Ponder, in their pass rush.
15:56And when Geno, we know one thing about Geno.
15:59He's protected. He is a top talent when it comes to spinning the pigskin.
16:04And when he gets a little bit of pressure, he falls like wet toilet paper in a hurricane.
16:10So we're fading Geno Smith this week. Let's keep it short and simple.
16:14We're fading Justin Herbert. We're fading Justin Herbert this week against the Chiefs.
16:19The Chiefs off of bye weeks. Spagnolo and Andy Reid sat in the lab all offseason.
16:25Just, I mean, all bye week. Just sitting in the lab eating pierogies and coming up with a game plan to absolutely fuck Justin Herbert shit up.
16:34So cool name aside, it's going to be a bad time for Justin Herbert.
16:39Potentially worse than it's been. You think you've hit rock bottom until you're trying to sell a ZJ in a Lowe's parking lot.
16:47And that's where Justin Herbert is this week. So let's leave it alone.
16:52And then last but not least, Jaden Daniels. I don't love it, but Magabosa's coming back.
16:57This is like, you've seen the memes. Yes. Oh, yeah.
17:01Jaden Daniels' mom needs to really, really join up with the prayer warriors about what could take place this week with Magabosa
17:09on the field and her son at the same time.
17:12San Francisco 49ers, in addition to this, are fifth versus the quarterback.
17:16So I want to be bullish. I have Jaden Daniels bullishly ranked because of the fact that the rushing utility is there.
17:24He didn't let the tenderness in his elbow stop him from running the ball for over 80 yards this week and two rushing touchdowns.
17:33So I want to see it typed out versus a tougher defense.
17:37You've alluded to the fact that it doesn't seem like that offense has answers to pressure right now.
17:43And the worst thing that you could do is unleash this type of pass rush on a guy that's susceptible to pressure
17:51that doesn't seem to have the answers. So let's move on to the tight end position.
17:56Let's get a little happy, okay? We're going to go Tyler Higbee, the Higbeast, as a hero this week.
18:03Alliteration aside, the Cardinals in the last three weeks have allowed the fourth most receptions, the fourth most yards, and the second
18:11most tied for the second or third most touchdowns with four touchdowns over the course of the last three weeks to the tight end position.
18:20Higbee went out six receptions, five or six targets, five receptions, 83 yards this past week.
18:25Matthew Stafford threw the ball 54 times. We're not going to take that many times.
18:30If he falls in the end zone or if he's just commanding, commanding targets sitting down over the ball in the middle
18:38of the field, this could be a premium play, especially if you're going to be without Sam LaPorter or TJ Hawkinson this week.
18:46So moving on, we love Harold Fannin Jr. And our time to shine has come.
18:52Casey Concepcion, clear the concussion protocol, but it's Harold Fannin.
18:55We are due for a massive Harold Fannin game, not just like a six for 75 and a touchdown type of game.
19:03I'm talking nine for 102 touchdowns or just something wicked of the sort.
19:07I feel like he's going to put Kyle Hamilton into the walls of Jericho and make him say uncle this week.
19:15So I am absolutely loving Harold Fannin this week.
19:18And then last but not least, we got the one, the only Pat Freiermuth, the Muth, the Muth, Muth, Muth, Muth, Muth?
19:26This Pan Pam situation has got to get figured out.
19:29But Pat, the Bucs are 22nd versus tight end.
19:32I couldn't be more excited about Pat Fryer-Muth. Aaron Rodgers has three touchdowns in three straight games, the three top ten finishes in a row.
19:41I don't think the Bucs are going to offer much resistance in terms of Pat Fryer-Muth being able to get away and
19:49just have his way with the Bucs linebackers. I believe when I looked in week two or week three, Alex Anzalone had a 31.6 PFF coverage grade.
19:58And that's not going to get any better. And Josiah Trotter's a rookie.
20:03This is just not a solid situation to try to be playing the Bucs defense or just fading Pat Fryer-Muth.
20:10This is a great bye week feeling. So why don't you close the episode out with some guys at the tight end
20:18position that you don't want any parts of this week?
20:21And we also got a live look inside access from DK Metcalf sitting on the toilet taking a dump saying, like, I've been on the toilet forever.
20:31So maybe one less option for the Steelers there.
20:34Bades, Shev, Dalton Schultz at the Jaguars. They're seventh versus the tight end position.
20:39Over under 42 and a half. Ever since that monumental 14 target game, this is the stuff that really hurts.
20:46Targets three, two, and four. Now you add in Marvin Harrison Jr., Jalen Noel, who I think is maybe going to play
20:54that Tank Dell slot role, which I'm very excited to watch, Shev.
20:58I just see the equation in such a low over under game, better defenses between these teams.
21:04There's going to be fantasy points to be had.
21:07But it's going to belong to the Nico Collinses, the Parker Washingtons, the Basil Tootins, and maybe a little bit of Marvin Harrison Jr.
21:15So next up, Kyle Pitts versus the Bears, their third against the tight end.
21:20Penix to London, eat. Penix and Bijon, eat. Not so sure about Kyle Pitts.
21:25High over under total game. But again, this isn't the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where Kyle Pitts has two great games a year.
21:33And lastly, this one hurts, but this is tangentially part of the game flow that we're talking about.
21:39Bren Strange versus the Texans. They are six versus the tight end.
21:43I just see some gridlock occurring in this game and the secondary and tertiary parts where you would have a higher over under total, like 48, 51, 53.
21:53You're not going to get that result out of this game.
21:57There's going to be limitations, not to be confused with salutations, on the fantasy goodness for these two teams.
22:04So, those are our heroes. Those are our fades.
22:07Check out Shev's real link tree. Check out my fake link tree.
22:11And we will see you next week. Salutations.
