Summary

Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Jagger May break down the biggest dynasty risers and fallers heading into the fantasy playoffs. With just one week remaining before most leagues kick off their postseason, the crew analyzes which players are surging at the perfect time and which assets are tumbling down dynasty rankings. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Alec Pierce continues his hot streak with over 15 points in three of his last four games. The hosts debate whether the Colts receiver has finally arrived as a consistent flex play or remains a boom bust asset. Bryce Young resurfaces on the risers list after putting up 22.5 points against the Rams, with the Panthers winning record giving him unexpected job security heading into 2026. Adonai Mitchell delivered his best performance of the season with 24.2 points on 12 targets against Atlanta. The rookie finally showcased the physical tools that made him a draft darling, though the panel remains split on whether this breakout is sustainable or just another tease from the inconsistent Jets receiver. DK Metcalf lands as the number three faller after posting single digit points in four of his last five games. The Steelers receiver looks like he has lost a step, prompting questions about whether his fantasy glory days are behind him. Rome Odunze falls to WR23 on the year after four straight weeks under nine points, raising concerns about his ceiling in Ben Johnson's tight end heavy offense. Saquon Barkley tops the fallers list with just one game over 13.5 points since Week 5. The 29 year old running back continues to disappoint despite the Eagles offensive talent, though the hosts agree a late 2026 first round pick might still be worth the gamble for desperate contenders.
