Fade

The Fade tag identifies every play across 9 formations and 223 sets that includes at least one receiver running a fade route, the outside vertical release built to beat press coverage and win back-shoulder or over-the-top against Cover 1, Cover 0, and Cover 2 corners who sit on the flat. Filtering by Fade surfaces everything from dedicated X Fade isolation calls and red zone jump-ball looks to Stick, Weak Flood, and PA Boot concepts where the fade clears out the boundary corner and opens space underneath. Competitive players use this tag to quickly find man beaters for their goal line package, pair a tall X receiver with high Spectacular Catch ratings to the right concepts, and build hot route plans where a quick fade adjustment punishes pre-snap press alignment.
