Kev Coleman pushed back on the Geno Smith enthusiasm, highlighting red-flag metrics from 2023. Under pressure Smith posted the league’s 35th-best passer rating and the 4th-highest turnover-worthy-throw rate; when kept clean he jumped to 13th in rating and 23rd in turnover risk. Coleman worries the Raiders’ unproven offensive line will leave Smith exposed far more often than Seattle did. He also expects Chip Kelly to lean on the run, limiting pass volume and forcing Smith to rely on pinpoint efficiency to stay fantasy-relevant. Add age-related decline and what Coleman calls "zero resale value" in dynasty, and he sees Smith as no more than a two-year QB2 floor play—fine for a mid-second if you desperately need a starter, but a poor bet to ever gain value or reach low-end QB1 territory.
Kev Coleman urged dynasty managers to scoop up Michael Mayer, currently TE39 on DLF and going for throw-in prices such as Tyler Allgeier or late-4th picks. Coleman noted Mayer’s second-round pedigree and elite run-blocking, traits that will force him onto the field in Chip Kelly’s offense that is expected to feature heavy 12 personnel with Brock Bowers. More snaps mean more routes, and Coleman pointed out that Kelly historically schemes mismatches—Zach Ertz saw slot-style usage on over 55 % of snaps in Philadelphia. Coleman believes Mayer could be the Raiders’ third-best receiving weapon behind Bowers and Jakobi Meyers, giving him a realistic path to TE2 numbers if the offense surprises. There is also a hidden ceiling: Las Vegas may shop Mayer at the deadline once they confirm Bowers as the alpha, and any team losing a tight end to injury could view a 24-year-old former second-rounder as a cheap solution. That combination of immediate snap share, pedigree, and trade-related value spike makes Mayer a perfect rebuild dart throw or tight-end-premium stash who can triple in value with just a handful of touchdowns.
Kev Coleman doubled down on Alvin Kamara as a dynasty buy, this time focusing on the massive upside created by a potential in-season trade. Coleman reminded listeners that Kamara still averaged 19.0 PPR points and finished RB5 in points per game last year despite missing three contests. The underlying volume is intact—89 targets in 14 games—and Coleman projects a return to the 100-target range with Kellen Moore calling plays and rookie Tyler Shough likely peppering first-read check-downs. Coleman cited Fantasy Points data suggesting Kamara could rank top-five league-wide in first-read share because Moore wants the ball out quickly behind a shaky offensive line. The Saints gave Kamara only a $2.9 million base salary, making him an easy cap fit for contenders if New Orleans stumbles early. Coleman specifically mentioned the Bears and Chiefs as logical landing spots, arguing that any move to a better offense would spike Kamara’s dynasty value and TD equity overnight. At a current RB22 price on Keep-Trade-Cut, managers get both a high-floor reception engine and a free call option on a deadline deal that could push him back into weekly RB1 territory even at age 29.
Kev Coleman urged dynasty managers to scoop up Alvin Kamara—currently slipping outside the top-24 running backs—because the market is forgetting that volume still trumps situation in PPR formats. Even in what Coleman called a ‘down’ 2024 campaign, Kamara missed three games yet still finished RB9 overall and RB5 in points per game (19.0). He averaged 6.1 receptions, the second-highest mark of his career, showing that the target magnetism remains intact. Coleman expects new coordinator Kellen Moore to lean on running-back check-downs the same way his Chargers’ offenses fed Austin Ekeler, noting that Moore’s backs averaged 154 targets per year in Los Angeles. With the Saints likely starting inexperienced quarterbacks (Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, or Jake Hainer), Coleman anticipates a conservative game plan that funnels even more looks to the backfield. Touchdown equity is admittedly low, but Kamara’s weekly reception floor gives him top-12 PPR upside at a mid-RB3 cost. Coleman compared the buy-window to 2022 Austin Ekeler or 2021 Leonard Fournette—aging backs the market wrote off before they delivered league-winning seasons. He is willing to pay an early 2nd-round rookie pick or any fringe WR3 to acquire Kamara for contending rosters.
Kev Coleman said Dak Prescott is a screaming dynasty buy at his current QB21 price tag on Keep-Trade-Cut. Coleman reminded listeners that Prescott has topped 20 fantasy points in four of the past five healthy seasons and finished 2023 as the overall QB3 despite minimal rushing after ankle surgery. Schottenheimer’s scheme historically funnels volume to a single quarterback, and Dallas projects for shoot-outs thanks to a shaky defensive line and secondary. The offense around Prescott has quietly leveled up: George Pickens joins CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson to give Dallas its best three-man pass-catching group of the Prescott era, while a top-10 graded offensive line (rookie guard Tyler Booker could push it into the top-5) should keep him upright. Coleman calculated that Schottenheimer produced 13 ‘clear lead QB’ games in 2023, compared to just seven in a dysfunctional 2024 offense—evidence Dallas will again lean on its starter. Add in a contract that all but guarantees Prescott four more starting seasons (massive 2025 and 2026 cap hits will force an extension rather than a release), and Coleman sees almost no risk: even a “disappointing” outcome is four straight QB15 finishes, which is worth far more than the late 1st-round rookie pick he’s currently fetching in Superflex trades. If the offense bounces back, Prescott has legitimate top-8 upside without needing to run, making him a perfect QB2 who can win weeks in 2024 and beyond.
Kev Coleman endorsed buying Javonte Williams while his dynasty cost sits in the RB42-46 range (late-2nd or even two 3rds in recent deals). Coleman noted that new coordinator Brian Schottenheimer historically feeds a lead back about 13 PPR points per game—good for a low-end RB2 finish that would immediately double Williams’ current market value. The Dallas depth chart is soft: Miles Sanders is fading, rookie Jaden Blue struggles with fumbling and is strictly a passing-down option, leaving Williams the clear favorite for early-down and goal-line work. Coleman put Williams’ chances of beating out that competition at 90 % if healthy. Early-season workloads of 15 touches would spike his trade value by Week 3-4, allowing managers to flip him or ride a cheap RB2 for the season. With Dallas expected to run more under Schottenheimer and offensive improvements pushing the unit toward a top-10 finish, volume plus touchdown equity makes Williams a low-risk, high-reward dynasty dart worth the price of admission.
Kev Coleman said Rashee Rice is an easy dynasty buy at his current WR18 pricing on Keep-Trade-Cut (roughly a mid-1st). Coleman pointed out that in the 10 career games where Rice has topped 70 % of the snaps, he has averaged 18.0 PPR points, squarely in WR1 territory. The efficiency numbers back it up: 2.54 yards per route run, a 90.0 PFF receiving grade, and the highest yards-after-catch per game among all receivers over the last two seasons. Coleman is not worried about the crowd in Kansas City. He views Xavier Worthy’s shallow aDOT usage as an extension of the run game, says Marquise Brown “doesn’t move the needle,” and notes Travis Kelce’s target share slipped late last year. Projecting 120-plus targets with Patrick Mahomes, Coleman believes Rice can quickly jump into the top-12 dynasty wide-receiver tier and even withstand a potential 2025 suspension because the win-now upside is so strong. At today’s price he would be the WR1 in the thin 2026 rookie class, making Rice a smash buy for multi-year contending windows.
