Mike Vadala and Cam Templar check in on the 2026 NFL season through Week 5 and break down which dynasty players have gained or lost the most value, plus the coaching and usage changes driving it. Kenneth Walker III of the Kansas City Chiefs, Brock Purdy, Isaiah Likely, and Bhayshul Tuten of the Jacksonville Jaguars lead the list of players whose dynasty value has climbed. The surprises include George Kittle’s jump in snap share, Matthew Golden’s efficiency leap with the Green Bay Packers, and Omarion Hampton’s declining role with the Los Angeles Chargers. We also look at what new coaches and schemes mean for dynasty: Klint Kubiak and the Las Vegas Raiders with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, Declan Doyle unlocking Zay Flowers with the Baltimore Ravens, Frank Reich and the New York Jets, and Sean McVay’s three tight end sets with the Los Angeles Rams and Tyler Higbee.

Philadelphia's season just changed in 48 hours and the injury report keeps getting longer. Nate Polvogt and Kacey Kasem sort through it for Week 5. Lane Johnson announced his retirement and the Eagles traded Cam Jurgens to Baltimore, gutting an offensive line that was already thin. Saquon Barkley did not practice and looks unlikely for Sunday's London game. Is Howie Roseman conceding the season? Elsewhere, the injury wave keeps rolling with Lamar Jackson, Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Tee Higgins and Rashee Rice all banged up. Seattle's backfield is a mystery after the Joe Mixon situation fell apart. And Michael Penix Jr. has turned Drake London from WR53 into WR5 and made Bijan Robinson the overall RB1. Topics covered in this episode: the leaguewide injury wave, Lane Johnson's retirement and the Cam Jurgens trade, Saquon Barkley's status for London, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, the Seattle backfield with Zach Charbonnet and Robert Henry Jr., Michael Penix Jr.'s impact on Drake London, Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts, what is wrong in Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown, Isaac TeSlaa, Lamar Jackson's ankle and the Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers fallout, Tank Dell's return, Jayden Daniels back at full practice, and Buccaneers at Cowboys on Thursday night.

The College Football Show is back for Week 6, and host Shane Barrett runs through a reshuffled AP Top 25, breaks down the biggest game on the board, and lays out the bets he is backing. Shane opens with the poll: the risers, the fallers, the teams knocking on the door from just outside the rankings, and the ranked squads he has on upset alert. Then it is on to his Game of the Week, Georgia at Alabama, a top-ten primetime showdown in Tuscaloosa between two unbeaten heavyweights. Heisman contender Keelon Russell, running back Daniel Hill, and linebacker Caleb Woodson lead the Alabama side against veteran Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton, breakout receiver Talyn Taylor, and linebacker Raylen Wilson. The line has already made a dramatic flip, with Georgia opening as the favorite before Alabama moved ahead at home, so Shane breaks down exactly where he sees the value.

Shane opens with the poll: the risers, the fallers, the teams knocking on the door from just outside the rankings, and a full slate of ranked squads he has on upset alert.
