Welcome to Fantasy In Frames Plays & Fades (Starts/Sits) for Week 1: NO DOUBTS. NO HESITATION. NO MERCY.
That’s right — we’re channeling our NFL Blitz fandom this season for Fantasy In Frames Plays & Fades.
Week 1 is finally here, and with it comes the toughest part of setting an opening-week lineup: separating what we think we know from what we’re about to find out. New roles, new schemes, new teammates, injuries, and matchups can all change the outlook of the players you spent the entire offseason drafting.
That’s where Plays & Fades comes in.
Each week, members of the Fantasy In Frames team will identify three Plays and three Fades at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end, using our weekly rankings, matchups, roles, opportunities, and supporting data to help you make those final lineup decisions.
What Is a Play? What Is a Fade?
A Play is a player we believe is positioned to exceed expectations for the week.
A Fade is a player whose expectations we believe should be tempered based on his matchup, role, opportunity, or other factors heading into the week.
And remember: A Play does not automatically mean Start, and a Fade does not automatically mean Sit. You may not have a better option than one of our Fades, while some of our Plays may still belong on the bench depending on your roster.
We’re here to give you the information. You make the final call.
Now grab the controller, set the lineup, and let’s get to Week 1.

NO DOUBTS. NO HESITATION. NO MERCY.
QUARTERBACKS
Writer: Nate Marcum

PLAYS
Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints
Nate’s Week 1 Rank: QB13
WHY: The Saints kick off their season on the road against the Detroit Lions. Vegas and analysts track this game as a potential shootout with a projected total hovering near 50 points. This should lead to a heavy passing script as the Saints try to keep pace with the Lions. While the Lions’ offense is projected as one of the best in the league, their defense could provide a prime opportunity for fantasy success from their opponents.
EVIDENCE: Last year the Lions allowed the 10th most points to opposing QB’s. With starting DBs Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph both out for Week 1, the path to a QB1 finish is even stronger. It’s not just through the air that makes Shough dangerous in Week 1, but his dual-threat ability provides an even more stable floor. From Weeks 12-18 last year, Shough was the QB5, supported by his 175 yards rushing, which was the 4th most among QB’s.
BOTTOM LINE: At the end of the day, if you spent good draft capital to have your set-it-and-forget-it QB, play your guy….BUT…if you are looking for a great streaming option or a rock-solid QB2 in SuperFlex leagues, Shough is a fantastic bet to finish as a QB1 this week.
Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Nate’s Week 1 Rank: QB15
WHY: With Josh Jacobs on the commissioner’s exempt list, look for Matt LeFleur to put his trust in Jordan Love for Week 1. While Love’s results against a Brian Flores-led defense have been a roller coaster, the narrative lines up to create a fantastic path to Week 1 upside.
EVIDENCE: While the Vikings’ blitz-heavy attack can create a hostile environment for opposing QB’s, Jordan Love has shown the ability to carve them up and deliver incredible results. In five games against the Vikings, Love has averaged 240 yards passing with a 9:4 TD: INT ratio.
BOTTOM LINE: This is going to be a Jordan Love-led attack in Minnesota. Look for Love to attack the cornerbacks and allow his HEALTHY receiving core to provide big plays after the catch to avoid the heavy blitz scheme. On the flip side, without Micah Parsons, the Vikings could be in a position to put up points, creating a nice opportunity for a shootout. Last but not least, the lack of Jacobs’ goal-line presence should mean more passing opportunities inside the 10 for Love. For reference, Love was 22nd among QBs in pass attempts inside the 10, and 24th inside the 5.
Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins
Nate’s Week 1 Rank: QB20
WHY: What is the typical recipe for an upside play at QB? A dash of opponents’ susceptibility, a hint of playmakers, and a heavy dose of rushing upside. Sure, the Raiders defense has made improvements, but there is a case to be made that the Dolphins can hang in this game. Okay, here is where it gets a little tricky. The Dolphins don’t have the “arsenal” they had last year, but they still have Devon Achane and serviceable pass-catchers in Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas, and Greg Dulcich. “So, you’re relying on the rushing upside of Malik Willis?” Yes, I am! Granted, it’s a small sample, but Willis did have 104 yards rushing over those two weeks.
EVIDENCE: Malik Willis’ 104 yards rushing in Weeks 16 & 17 are just a glimpse into what type of fantasy upside he possesses. If we want to use the betting streets to see the upside, BettingPros has Willis’ O/U rushing line set at 40.5 yards. I am not trying to put Willis in this category, but historically only 6 QBs have averaged 40 rushing yards per game over 10 games, and all of them have put up multiple QB1 yearly finishes.
BOTTOM LINE: The matchup alone may not inspire high hopes for the average fantasy manager, but if you are looking for a sneaky path to a QB1 finish, or a solid QB2 for SuperFlex leagues, Willis could be the “cheat code” that we all are looking for.
FADES
Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
Nate’s Week 1 Rank: QB16
WHY: I don’t think I need to say much more than that the O-line is a mess. Actually, the official quote was that it is “inoperable”. No, this wasn’t said by a Jayden Daniels hater like Kyle Zeigler; a reputable Commanders beat writer referenced it.
BOTTOM LINE: While I do see the rushing upside value that Daniels can provide week in and week out, the combination of Philadelphia pressure and overall offensive dynamics in Washington is just too much for me to feel really comfortable with a strong showing for Daniels in Week 1.
Jaxson Dart, New York Giants
Nate’s Week 1 Rank: QB11
WHY: Traveling to Dallas for a Week 1 kickoff with a new scheme, a rusty and less than 100% Malik Nabers, and a rushing floor that may be reduced to avoid further concussions is not a great resume for Week 1 fantasy production.
BOTTOM LINE: While Dart has made it abundantly clear that he isn’t going to change his playing style, I think it is in his best interest to keep it as simple as possible until he settles into this new Giants scheme.
Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Nate’s Week 1 Rank: QB21
WHY: This one pains me as a Chiefs fan, but as a realist, I think it is just too easy to fade Mahomes in Week 1. The Chiefs will likely be without Josh Simmons, which is terrible news against this formidable Broncos defense.
BOTTOM LINE: Last year’s fantasy success for Mahomes was on the rushing upside that he demonstrated. Now, post-ACL surgery, the likelihood of a rushing floor is definitely reduced. Add in the addition of Kenneth Walker, and there is a very good chance that we don’t see Mahomes with more than 30 pass attempts, something that only happened twice all last season.
RUNNING BACKS
Writer: Drew Scott
Twitter/X: @Drew3MR
PLAYS
Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots
Drew’s Week 1 Rank: RB21
WHY: It’s a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, but fellow running mate TreVeyon Henderson has been ruled out for the Week 1 matchup, leaving Stevenson to handle the majority of the workload.
EVIDENCE: While not super flashy, Stevenson was a solid producer when handling the majority of work last season. He finished as a top-15 RB in each game that he played at least 75% of snaps in 2025, which is what we can expect in Week 1 without Henderson. He also handled 50% of the Patriots’ carries inside the 5-yard line while splitting time with Henderson last year, so he should have a good shot at finding the end zone in a game where he should handle the large majority of
BOTTOM LINE: The matchup isn’t easy, and Stevenson himself isn’t going to blow your mind as a running back talent. However, the volume he should see in Week 1 should provide an opportunity for a cheat code start at running back while you were likely drafting him as a depth piece. Take advantage of Stevenson’s lack of competition for touches this week.
Rachaad White, Washington Commanders
Drew’s Week 1 Rank: RB34
WHY: It’s anyone’s guess on who the starting running back will be for the Washington Commanders, but I think the game environment in Week 1 will lead to a heavy dose of Rachaad White. The Eagles’ defensive front is no joke, and Washington would have already had their hands full before losing their star LT to a torn triceps. Given his ability both as a pass catcher and pass blocker, the Commanders could lean on White in Week 1, especially if Philadelphia gets off to a fast start.
EVIDENCE: White has finished as one of the top pass-blocking running backs over the last two years according to PFF and was also one of just 12 running backs to accumulate at least 40 receptions last season.
BOTTOM LINE: It could very easily be Jacory Croskey-Merritt that takes the first snap of the season at running back for the Commanders, but I believe the game script and need for pass blocking + pass catching could lead to White being the back that sees the most snaps once all is said and done. His value also spikes in full-PPR leagues.
Kenny Gainwell, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Drew’s Week 1 Rank: RB32
WHY: The Miami Dolphins have to have the least attractive wide receiver grouping in the entire league. That’s why I like Dulcich. Someone has to catch the ball for the ‘Phins, and it might just be the late-round TE Greg Dulcich.
EVIDENCE: Believe it or not, Dulcich stands out in efficiency. Per Fantasy Points Data Suite, last season from Week 9 on, among TEs with at least 100 routes run, he ranked first in yards per route run, tied for third in targets per route run, fifth in yards after catch per reception, and second in first downs per route run.
BOTTOM LINE: The matchup against the Raiders isn’t intimidating by any means. Malik Willis may not have a history of throwing many passes, but that’s about to change in 2026. SELECT START in Week 1.
FADES
Jeremiyah Love, Arizona Cardinals
Drew’s Week 1 Rank: RB25
WHY: My ranking of Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love should speak for itself this week. Love is just inside my top 24 running backs for Week 1, and anyone who drafted Love obviously took him much higher than RB24. Whenever you invest in rookies for redraft, you’re not investing in what they will do for you in Week 1, but what they will do for you down the stretch of their rookie season. Love is no different, with a tough matchup and lingering injury suppressing his value for the opening week of the season.
EVIDENCE: Jeremiyah Love is still recovering from a high ankle sprain suffered during the preseason, so the Cardinals would be smart to monitor his workload to start the season as he continues to recover. On top of that, the Chargers’ defensive front should give offenses problems while they’re healthy. Chargers first-round pick Akheem Mesidor and veteran addition Dalvin Tomlinson should help bolster the Chargers’ defensive line and make life difficult for the Cardinals rookie running back.
BOTTOM LINE: Between the matchup, injury, and the fact that the Cardinals have serviceable backup running back options while Love continues to work his way to full health, Love could be in for a difficult Week 1 matchup. Although you drafted him to be a starter for your fantasy team, I’d double-check to see if you have better options for Week 1.
Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns
Drew’s Week 1 Rank: RB24
WHY: If you watched any 4th and Frames episodes this offseason, you would already know I’m not a big fan of Quinshon Judkins this season, and Week 1 is no different. Although I do think Judkins will have solid weeks this season, I don’t think this is going to be one of them. The matchup is tough against the Jaguars, and Jacksonville’s offense can also make Judkins less effective if the Browns are playing catch-up.
EVIDENCE: The Jaguars were considered one of, if not the best, run defenses in the NFL last season. The Jacksonville defensive line from last season is still intact, and won’t be making life easy against the Browns in Week 1. On top of that, the Jaguars offense has plenty of firepower to be able to put Cleveland in catch-up mode early, which is much more favorable for Browns change-of-pace running back Dylan Sampson, who has proved to be a much better pass catcher than Judkins.
BOTTOM LINE: Judkins was drafted to be a starter on most fantasy teams this season, but based on the matchup and the possibility that this game gets out of hand quickly, I would take a hard look to see if there’s a better option for your fantasy team in Week 1.
Jonathon Brooks, Carolina Panthers
Drew’s Week 1 Rank: RB37
WHY: You would have to work hard to find someone who has pounded the table harder for Jonathan Brooks than me this offseason, but I don’t believe Week 1 is the time to roll him out in your fantasy lineups. While I believe Chuba Hubbard isn’t the talent that Brooks is, that doesn’t mean that Chuba will just cease to exist. Brooks has been limited with knee soreness leading up to Week 1, and that could be just the window Hubbard needs to hold tight to the RB1 role that he enters the season with.
EVIDENCE: Although Brooks has been working on the sideline during practice leading up to Week 1, he hasn’t been in the mix to the level that Chuba Hubbard has been in practices leading up to kickoff against the Chicago Bears. Hubbard also has the benefit of being the veteran in the room who the coaching staff can feel comfortable giving the lead to to start the season while they wait for Brooks to get to full health.
BOTTOM LINE: This might be the only week you hear me say this, but I actually prefer Chuba Hubbard over Jonathan Brooks in Week 1 despite an entire offseason propping up Brooks and recommending to avoid Hubbard. The Bears defense does not appear to be a tough matchup on paper, and the Panthers should need to put up points to keep up with Chicago’s offense.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Writer: Colby Conway
Twitter/X: @colbyrconway
PLAYS
Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals
Colby’s Week 1 Rank: WR28
WHY: Yes, Michael Wilson had a better year in 2025 than Harrison Jr., but context is everything, and Wilson’s emergence coincided with Harrison’s departure. In Weeks 1-10, when both guys were out there, Harrison Jr. posted 6.9 targets per game, 1.73 yards per route run, and a 24.4% first-read rate, per FantasyPoints’ Data. Wilson sat at 4.1 targets per game, 0.78 yards per route run, and a 14.9% first-read rate. With the Cardinals being double-digit underdogs in this one, I’d expect the Cardinals to air it out while playing from behind, which should give Harrison plenty of volume in this one. Boomshakalaka!
EVIDENCE: Based on reports, it sounds like Chris O’Leary, the Chargers’ new defensive coordinator, will do some similar stuff to Jesse Minter, and if that means continuing to sit in two-high safety looks, Harrison Jr. stands to benefit. In Weeks 1-10, Harrison Jr. posted 0.19 targets per route run and 1.40 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints Data. Sure, not the most astounding numbers, but with Mike LaFleur not explicitly using Harrison Jr. in a deep downfield role, he should be far more productive and efficient.
BOTTOM LINE: Z-Z-Z-Z-B-B-B-A-A-A-Up. We’ll unlock the invisible cheat code in this one, as Harrison Jr.’s first game in a new scheme may have the Chargers struggling to find him in this one. Harrison Jr. can be trusted in your flex spot this week.
De’Zhaun Stribling, San Francisco 49ers
Colby’s Week 1 Rank: WR35
WHY: Everyone’s favorite preseason riser has a tough matchup in Week 1, as it may feel like at times that the Rams’ fearsome pass rush will be all over the San Fran offense, including jumping on players after the play in true NFL Blitz fashion. I’m kidding, obviously, but it may feel like that at times. Anyways, Stribling will be the team’s starting slot receiver, and when looking at this Rams’ revamped secondary, the slot just might be where they are weakest.
EVIDENCE: The Rams struggled in slot coverage last season, and Quentin Lake figures to be the team’s primary slot man in 2026, after allowing an 88.8 passer rating in slot coverage last season. Rather than go at Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie on the perimeter, or let Myles Garrett and [maybe] Aaron Donald have time to get to the quarterback, why not hit Stribling quickly in the slot? In the preseason, Stribling posted 3.31 yards per route run out of the slot, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). Oh, it would behoove the 49ers to do this because Purdy had a 117.5 passer rating when targeting the slot last season, and, among QBs who played at least 10 games in 2024, he had the 2nd-highest yards per attempt and an 11:1 TD/INT ratio, per FantasyPoints Data.
BOTTOM LINE: Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-B-A-A-A-A-Up. Infinite turbo unlocked for Stribling in this divisional matchup! Trust him in your flex spot, and don’t be surprised if he leads the 49ers in receptions and yards in this game.
Devaughn Vele, New Orleans Saints
Colby’s Week 1 Rank: WR43
WHY: With no Jordyn Tyson available for a few weeks, Vele will be the WR2 for the Saints in this game against the Lions, where Vegas has the projected total right around 50, and the Saints are touchdown underdogs. Remember back in your days of playing NFL Blitz… It was all about throwing the ball, right? Well, the Saints had the sixth-highest pass rate last season, per SumerSports. From Week 9 on, when Tyler Shough took over the starting role and never looked back, the Saints had the eighth-highest pass rate!
EVIDENCE: The Detroit Lions allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers last year, per FantasyPros in Weeks 1-17, and this Detroit secondary is largely unimpressive. The Lions will be without regular safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, and if Vele spends most of his time in the slot, he’ll see a good bit of Roger McCreary. Trust me, that’s a good thing. McCreary allowed a 114.8 passer rating when targeted in slot coverage last season, per PFF.
BOTTOM LINE: The Lions are going to wish they could apply the power-up defense cheat, as they are incredibly vulnerable in their secondary. This game should be a typical NFL Blitz contest, with a ton of action, a lot of points, and Vele is the perfect flex option for those in deeper formats.
FADES
D.J. Moore, Buffalo Bills
Colby’s Week 1 Rank: WR36
WHY: The Texans allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts last year through the first 17 weeks of the season, and they returned everyone from last year’s secondary. Furthermore, amongst teams Josh Allen has faced at least three times in his career, his 56.8 completion percentage against Houston is his third-worst mark against any team, and his 74.0 rating is his lowest against any team, per Pro Football Reference.
EVIDENCE: No team had a better EPA/Pass (-0.22) than the Texans in 2025, and again, all of their starters are returning. They even added Reed Blankenship to a secondary that already features Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter, and Jalen Pitre. In the preseason, all seven of DJ Moore’s snaps came on the perimeter, meaning most of his snaps will come against Stingley Jr. and Lassiter, who allowed a 67.4 and 75.6 passer rating when targeted, respectively.
BOTTOM LINE: Once DeMeco Ryans got ahold of the controller in Houston, he instantly smashed the power-up defense and big-player cheats. If you have to start Moore, so be it, but I’d temper expectations in the season opener.
Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars
Colby’s Week 1 Rank: WR49
WHY: Throughout draft season, this Jacksonville receiver room is the one spot folks wanted to get right. You would have thought the team rating for Jacksonville’s passing was maxed out when looking at the team preview! Thomas is looking to recapture some of that rookie magic, but the matchup isn’t exactly ideal for his outlook. Cleveland’s defense is going to be more vulnerable in the slot, and he only lined up in the slot on 24.1% of his routes in 2025, per PFF.
EVIDENCE: After the team acquired Jakobi Meyers last season, Thomas went on to average just 47.8 yards per game, 7.4 fantasy points per game, and 1.65 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints’ Data. The Jaguars are more than a touchdown favorite at home against the Browns in Week 1, so is there going to be enough meat on the bone for Thomas?
BOTTOM LINE: Cleveland’s defense should be good in 2026, even without Myles Garrett, but with how putrid the team’s offense could be, how much will Jacksonville be forced to do through the air? On top of that, Washington has the best matchup out of the slot. Thomas is a lower-end flex option for me this week, and if you have other options, I’d be inclined to start there until I see more frequent glimpses of 2024 Brian Thomas.
Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders
Colby’s Week 1 Rank: WR34
WHY: The Eagles had the fourth-best EPA/Pass in the NFL last season, per SumerSports, and they have Quinyon Mitchell and Tariq Woolen on the outside ready to handle McLaurin. The game script should favor Washington’s passing attack, as every offense that faces Washington will feel like it has the power-up offense cheat enabled, but concerns along the offensive line are problematic against a front four that features Jonathan Greenard, Jalen Carter, and more.
EVIDENCE: Laremy Tunsil being injured immediately removes the team’s best offensive lineman, and there were reports at the time from camp that the offensive line was “inoperable.” That’s certainly not good. Despite Daniels’ mobility, his numbers through the air take a hit when he’s pressured, compared to when he isn’t. See for yourself, courtesy of FantasyPoints’ Data:
- When Pressured (2025): 75.7 passer rating, -4.8% completion percentage over expectation, 49.1% catchable throw rate, 3.56 adjusted net yards per attempt
- Not Pressured (2025): 93.0 passer rating, 5.8% completion percentage over expectation, 80.0% catchable throw rate, 7.07 adjusted net yards per attempt
BOTTOM LINE: McLaurin is definitely the WR1 for the Commanders; we all know that. However, so does Philadelphia, and Mitchell is no stranger to shadowing an opposing team’s WR1. I’m not in the camp of “sit McLaurin at all costs in Week 1,” but a Quinyon Mitchell shadow is the equivalent of your buddy playing all defensive cheat codes, and you haven’t played NFL Blitz since last season.
TIGHT ENDS
Writer: Kyle Zeigler
Twitter/X: @KZ1180
PLAYS
Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans
Kyle’s Week 1 Rank: TE19
WHY: Jayden Higgins went down with a torn ACL, and while the Texans traded for Kayshon Boutte, his arrival doesn’t affect Schultz’s role. Let’s test this new-look Bills defense, which lost several key players in the offseason.
EVIDENCE: He’s an every-down tight end who ran nearly 73% of the team’s routes last season. He also finished second on the team in targets, and that should carry over into 2026.
BOTTOM LINE: Press the START button on Dalton Schultz in Week 1. He should be heavily leaned on in the passing game alongside Nico Collins.
Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints
Kyle’s Week 1 Rank: TE22
WHY: Outside of Chris Olave, the New Orleans Saints offense is being slept on. Tyler Shough put up NFL Blitz-like numbers, averaging 293 yards passing over the final four games. Let’s get a piece of that in Juwan Johnson.
EVIDENCE: Did you know that Johnson recorded 8 TE1 finishes last season? With Jordan Tyson out with a hamstring injury, Johnson should be heavily used, especially in the red zone and at the goal line
BOTTOM LINE: The Saints-Lions matchup has shootout written all over it. Plug Johnson in your lineups and let’s hope both offenses catch fire.
Greg Dulcich, Miami Dolphins
Kyle’s Week 1 Rank: TE20
WHY: The Miami Dolphins have to have the least attractive wide receiver grouping in the entire league. That’s why I like Dulcich. Someone has to catch the ball for the ‘Phins, and it might just be the late-round TE Greg Dulcich.
EVIDENCE: Believe it or not, Dulcich stands out in efficiency. Per Fantasy Points Data Suite, last season from Week 9 on, among TEs with at least 100 routes run, he ranked first in yards per route run, tied for third in targets per route run, fifth in yards after catch per reception, and second in first downs per route run.
BOTTOM LINE: The matchup against the Raiders isn’t intimidating by any means. Malik Willis may not have a history of throwing many passes, but that’s about to change in 2026. SELECT START in Week 1.
FADES
George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers
Kyle’s Week 1 Rank: TE9
WHY: Probably won’t be doing much fading of Kittle throughout the season, but this is a great spot to do it. He is coming back from a torn Achilles just eight months ago. We’re just pressing PAUSE on Week 1.
EVIDENCE: Since it’s opening week, we can only assume he’ll be on a snap count. We haven’t seen him play in the preseason, so it’s best to be conservative in this situation and let it play out on your bench. If he goes off, so be it; at least we will know how he truly looks in-game action.
BOTTOM LINE: Until we see him out on the field, I would rather be safe than sorry.
Harold Fannin, Jr., Cleveland Browns
Kyle’s Week 1 Rank: TE6
WHY: Deshaun Watson won the QB job, but did he win by default? Shedeur Sanders probably looked better, but money talks. The Browns are likely to struggle moving the ball against the front four in Jacksonville.
EVIDENCE: The Jaguars defense allowed only 19.8 points per game last season, which was eighth-best in the league. They did lose Devin Lloyd in free agency, but for the most part they are running it back on D.
BOTTOM LINE: It’ll be AN ALL-OUT BLITZ for this Browns offense. If you don’t have other options, roll with Fannin, but expect lower production.
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Kyle’s Week 1 Rank: TE11
WHY: There’s no cheat code for this one. Kelce is ranked TE11 because Father Time is undefeated. He’s 36 years old, so there are legitimate concerns about how effective he’ll be right out of the gate.
EVIDENCE: Vegas doesn’t see this AFC West showdown being very high-scoring. The betting total is only 42.5. In fact, in the two Chiefs losses to Denver last season, they only scored 19 and 13 points.
BOTTOM LINE: Kelce is a risky start in Week 1. The Broncos defense is nothing to sneeze at. You can keep him in lineups but lower your expectations.
FINAL WHISTLE
The research is done. The rankings are set. The matchups have been broken down.
Now it’s time to play some damn football.
Week 1 is here, and these are the Plays we’re planting our flag on and the Fades we’re willing to bet against. Set your lineups, trust your decisions, and get ready to see who delivers when the lights come on.
We’ll be back next week to reload and do it all over again.
NO DOUBTS. NO HESITATION. NO MERCY.
BOOMSHAKALAKA!
