Nobody’s stock is falling this week, and five of the seven risers are young receivers. Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose utilization is climbing going into Week 7 — and what’s actually driving each one. Germie Bernard rises to a high-end WR3. Carnell Tate joins him at high-end WR3, and his utilization comps paint an interesting picture — receivers at his utilization score have gone on to a top-24 season 46% of the time. Omar Cooper climbs to a high-end WR4. Jalen Coker and Emeka Egbuka both move up to mid-range WR2, with Egbuka cashing in last week’s Dwain-Lib. At running back, Bhayshul Tuten rises to a mid-range RB2 and Jaylen Warren holds steady there. Then the part your league isn’t thinking about yet. Is A.J. Brown a buy low after everything that’s happened? And is Ashton Jeanty a sell high while the name still carries weight? They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share makes Ja’Kobi Lane a WR4, what gets Tyler Higbee to a low-end TE1, and what Omar Cooper becomes at an 85% route share alongside Adonai Mitchell. And they close with the moves to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain stashing Jaylin Noel, Pete on Christian Kirk and Terrance Ferguson, Kendall on Chig Okonkwo and Antonio Williams. 🔍 Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, stock up stock down, buy low sell high, route participation, utilization, week 7 fantasy football, Germie Bernard, Carnell Tate, Omar Cooper, Jalen Coker, Emeka Egbuka, Bhayshul Tuten, Jaylen Warren, A.J.

Whether the Commanders outsourced clock management to AI, plus general Washington-Giants fallout. The Packers’ new playbook being “Christian Watson and Matthew Golden are down there somewhere.” Drake Maye having the worst three-game start to an MVP season ever.

Lamar Jackson's ankle and how far you downgrade the Ravens pass catchers if Tyler Huntley is under center.

Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose utilization is on the rise going into Week 4 — and what's actually driving each move.Cam Skattebo climbs to a mid-range RB2 after a Week 3 where his snaps, rushes and route work all jumped at once. Jeremiyah Love rises to mid-range RB2 off a backfield that's tilted almost entirely his way. Josh Downs moves to a low-end WR2 as his role shifts downfield.

📋 Week 3 is in the books and it was a rough one. We're overreacting to the biggest results, holding an emergency press conference on four quarterback situations that fell apart, working through an injury report that reshapes multiple backfields, and getting you set for Week 4 waivers.

Then the emergency press conference on J.J. McCarthy's fit in the Giants scheme, how much worse Tommy DeVito could actually be than Drake Maye, whether Marcus Mariota is better for the Commanders than Jayden Daniels, whether the Chargers win a game before November, and the Titans looking for Cam Ward's replacement in 2027.

Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose stock actually moved after Week 2 — and more importantly, the specific utilization behind each move.Parker Washington climbs again, this time to a low-end WR1. Jalen Coker rises into mid-range WR3 territory. Dalton Kincaid moves all the way into the top five at tight end. Going the other way: Rashee Rice slides to a low-end WR2, and the Bears pair of Colston Loveland and Luther Burden both drop, Loveland to a low-end TE1 and Burden to a high-end WR4.Then the part your league isn't thinking about yet. Bucky Irving has the sixth-highest running back utilization score in football at 90 — is that a buy even at a high price? George Pickens is averaging just 7.9 points per game on an 85% route share and a 23% target share, which is the exact profile of a player about to be cheap. Tucker Kraft's route participation jumped from 48% in Week 1 to 91% in Week 2 while his production fell. And Stefon Diggs is scoring 18.6 per game on a 59% route share — the definition of a sell.They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share puts Oronde Gadsden in the TE8-to-TE10 range, what gets Brian Thomas Jr. into WR3 territory, and what designed rush rate makes Tyler Shough a QB10-to-QB12 option. Those are the exact numbers to watch on Sunday.And they close with three adds to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain on Kenyon Sadiq, Pete on Oronde Gadsden, Kendall on Demond Claiborne.🔍 Topics in this video:2026 fantasy football, stock up stock down, buy low sell high, route participation, utilization, Parker Washington, Rashee Rice, Jalen Coker, Colston Loveland, Luther Burden, Dalton Kincaid, Bucky Irving, George Pickens, Tucker Kraft, Stefon Diggs, Oronde Gadsden, Brian Thomas Jr., Tyler Shough, Kenyon Sadiq, Demond Claiborne, fantasy football trade targets, waiver wire, week 3 fantasy football Learn more about your ad choices.

Two starting quarterbacks (and a ton of other players) went down this week. Welcome to injury hell. Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet recap fantasy football Week 2 action — and this week they bring in someone who has actually called plays in the NFL. Former Raiders and Commanders offensive coordinator Scott Turner joins for Real Football vs. Fake Football, breaking down exactly how a coaching staff rebuilds a game plan when a star quarterback like Jayden Daniels or Caleb Williams is out, and what that means for every fantasy starter around them. Then Overreaction Monday. Is it going to take Colston Loveland ten games to match what Dalton Schultz did on Sunday — 26 PPR points and 140 receiving yards? Is it TreVeyon Henderson's backfield for good? Woody Marks'? Plus Marvin Harrison Jr.'s future in the Canadian Football League, whether anyone will ever be able to start a Packers running back again, and the case that fourth-quarter Tyler Shough is better than Drake Maye. The back half is entirely actionable. Every waiver target worth a claim for Week 3 — Bryce Young and Tyler Shough at quarterback if you just lost your starter, Emanuel Wilson, Jonah Coleman and Tank Bigsby at running back, Adonai Mitchell, DeVaughn Vele and Denzel Boston at receiver, and Dalton Schultz at tight end, all with roster percentages across ESPN, Yahoo and Sleeper. And then it's time for It's Not Me, It's You. Kendall writes a letter to Kevin Stefanski and the Falcons.
