Speaker 1: bit at week nine and tell you about the trends,
Speaker 1: the takeaways, the injuries. Who's next man up for some
Speaker 1: injuries and they were some Okay, what I got right?
Speaker 1: What I got wrong? Then we'll look ahead to starting
Speaker 1: the week ten waiver wire ads. Okay, there are some
Speaker 1: interesting guys on the waiver wire this week, especially if
Speaker 1: you are in need of a running back, especially if
Speaker 1: you are in PPR formats. I got not one, not
Speaker 1: too but three names you should look at for a
Speaker 1: PPR running back that you could probably get on the
Speaker 1: waiver wire, So stay locked for that. Okay, Then, as always,
Speaker 1: we're gonna put the fun and functional sports content a
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the show. All right, in
Speaker 1: segment three, we're gonna get down with the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher. I got my man, Danny Otto down there
Speaker 1: in the fantasy pit of misery. Dilly dilly to him,
Speaker 1: I ain't got my beard today. I don't know this
Speaker 1: is qualify as an autumnal mead. I'm not sure, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna make it. You know, it's gonna be done
Speaker 1: by the time this hour is done. And with the
Speaker 1: seven likes that are on there right now, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get that up and popping as well. Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take your questions right here in the chat room on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Will check it with the phone number. We'll give the
Speaker 1: phone number a little bit later on as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: So a good show for you as you continue your
Speaker 1: playoff push. We also got a pull question up there
Speaker 1: for you right now, if you check it out on
Speaker 1: Twitter at spitting speeds. The question is Levian Bell tweeted
Speaker 1: quote unquote farewell Miami yesterday, leaving many people to believe
Speaker 1: he is on his way to Pittsburgh. He's only got
Speaker 1: at this point something like seven days left to report.
Speaker 1: What is your reaction to it? You know? And my
Speaker 1: options are welcome back Levan? Is it? Boo? I'm on
Speaker 1: team Connor right now? Is it? Can we just end
Speaker 1: this already? You know we're giving updates every week? Can
Speaker 1: we just stop with this? Or is the question now? Now?
Speaker 1: Who do I start? You know? And I think that's
Speaker 1: an interesting one. We already have a response by Jared Savino,
Speaker 1: who I like friend to decipher, says, as both the
Speaker 1: left Bell and the James Connor owner, I wish Bell
Speaker 1: had either been traded, but now I hope he just
Speaker 1: doesn't play at all, so I could ride the hot
Speaker 1: hand with Connor. Listen, Jared, I'm in the same boat
Speaker 1: in my long term dynasty league, where by the way,
Speaker 1: I am eight and one and in first place. I
Speaker 1: have you guys zoom in on that one in a
Speaker 1: little while. Um, I own Bell and Connor, and I'm
Speaker 1: in the same boat. I was hoping Bell got traded
Speaker 1: so I had starting running backs on two teams now
Speaker 1: hoping it just don't happen at all, because Connor right
Speaker 1: now is RB three in fantasy. And what I've said,
Speaker 1: I said it two weeks ago, three weeks ago, I said,
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna happen and why it's gonna suck for
Speaker 1: Connor owners and Bell owners. What's gonna happen is this
Speaker 1: is going to become a time share. And the reason
Speaker 1: why you love Levian Bell usually is because he's one
Speaker 1: of these workhorse backs. The reason James Conner is, you
Speaker 1: know running back three right now in fantasy is because
Speaker 1: he is performed as a workhorse back. Neither one of
Speaker 1: them are going to be workhorse backs. Would you now
Speaker 1: have us to I don't know, We'll see, you know,
Speaker 1: r B two's maybe an RB two and a flex play.
Speaker 1: That's not what you're looking for. You're looking for that
Speaker 1: stud as you go into the fantasy playoffs, and we'll
Speaker 1: see how the Pittsburgh Steelers decide to play it. All right,
Speaker 1: So that's the whole question. Let me know what you think.
Speaker 1: Let's dive in right now of some news and notes
Speaker 1: since last we spoke on Thursday. First of all, some
Speaker 1: people going to i R alright on wide receivers going
Speaker 1: to I are some wide receiver news alright. Paul Richardson
Speaker 1: from the Washington football team, he is having season injuring
Speaker 1: shoulder surgery. Say that five times fast season ending shoulder surgery.
Speaker 1: Well that he's having it. Okay, So the question is
Speaker 1: who's next man up? All right? Um is Jamison crowd
Speaker 1: are gonna be back healthy? I got a waiver potential ad, right,
Speaker 1: is Josh Dockson? Do they just throw more to Jordan
Speaker 1: Read and Vernon Davis. I'll let you know when we
Speaker 1: talk about my waiver wire ads. I think the Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowder health is a big deal this week to see
Speaker 1: how you play the Washington attack. All right. Geronimo Allison
Speaker 1: has also been sent to i R. He's having that
Speaker 1: groin issue, the Packers put him on i R. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, yes, yes, a thousand times yes,
Speaker 1: Marquez Valdes Scantling needs to be in lineups. He needs
Speaker 1: to be on rosters. We talked about MVS before and
Speaker 1: then people were like, oh, but Cob and Allison are
Speaker 1: coming back. Maybe I dropped MVS. He has been dropped
Speaker 1: in a lot of places. By the way, I am
Speaker 1: now calling Marcus Valves scanting and MVS just so you know. Um,
Speaker 1: but MVS is right back in that position. Okay, So yeah,
Speaker 1: you need to add him if possible. Um, you're hearing
Speaker 1: buzz Dez Bryant working out for the Saints, We'll see.
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on that. Brandon Marshall working out for
Speaker 1: the Lions, will see keep an eye out on that. Also, listen,
Speaker 1: the Ravens are on by. They want of war teams
Speaker 1: that have a bye this week. This week, Minnesota, Denver, Houston,
Speaker 1: and the Baltimore Ravens are on by. So this isn't
Speaker 1: a Week ten thing, but in week eleven, I kind
Speaker 1: of wonder who's gonna be the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1: Our Boys saying it's definitively Flacco. Though he's saying the
Speaker 1: team is riding with Flacco, the question is do you
Speaker 1: believe him. I think that with the Ravens still in contention,
Speaker 1: they're gonna ride Flacco as long as they're still in contention. Okay.
Speaker 1: I've been saying this. By the way, that Flacco and
Speaker 1: that offense started off hot, They've lost something like four
Speaker 1: of their last five games. The shine has come off
Speaker 1: the Joe Flacco rose, right, and so the question is
Speaker 1: when is it Lamar time? Right, It's already been Baker time,
Speaker 1: It's already been Josh Allen time. It's already been Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen time. It's started off as Sam Darnold time. When
Speaker 1: does Lamar and to the fray as the fifth rookie quarterback?
Speaker 1: It is going to happen. The question is really when.
Speaker 1: I don't think it happens. You know, obviously the bye
Speaker 1: this week, I think Flacco does in fact start for
Speaker 1: the next week in Week eleven, though the raven see
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, I do believe, okay, And that is
Speaker 1: a huge game that will decide the fate of Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco as the starting quarterback in Baltimore. Okay, they've lost
Speaker 1: four of their last five. Okay, Week five, they lost
Speaker 1: to Cleveland twelve nine. They gotta win against Tennessee twenty one. Nothing, right,
Speaker 1: they lose to New Orleans, they put up twenty three points.
Speaker 1: They lose to Caroline and they put up twenty one points.
Speaker 1: They lose to Pittsburgh, they put up sixteen points. That's
Speaker 1: pretty much what they do. No, it is not the
Speaker 1: forty seven points of week one. No, it is not
Speaker 1: the twenty seven points of week three. But that's what
Speaker 1: they've been doing. But Joe Flacco has been going down
Speaker 1: as well. He has not. He's only topped over twelve
Speaker 1: points one of his last four games. Right, So here's
Speaker 1: the thing against since in week eleven. If they win
Speaker 1: that game, though, they're right back in the hunt. They're
Speaker 1: five and five if that's what happens, right, But if
Speaker 1: they lose that and they're four and six and they
Speaker 1: start to fall off the face of the earth, that's
Speaker 1: where I think they go to Lamar Jackson. Okay, So
Speaker 1: if you are in the fantasy playoffs in a super
Speaker 1: flex or two quarterback league, I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 1: in weeks fifteen and sixteen, when you need him. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna be on the center, so
Speaker 1: I think you need to plan accordingly and do it now.
Speaker 1: All right, But you know Hall boys saying at least
Speaker 1: that Flat will be in the saddle at least for
Speaker 1: week eleven, so you gotta be okay with that. I
Speaker 1: also want to give you a piece of news. This
Speaker 1: is not necessarily for fantasy right now, but for my
Speaker 1: team that I have been hyping up all season long.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Los Angeles Chargers. Uh. News that
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry may come back uh this season. Remember you
Speaker 1: torres a c L and training camp. There's news that
Speaker 1: he's already running, cutting, doing some things. He's ahead of schedule,
Speaker 1: and boy, could the Chargers use him. I've already said this.
Speaker 1: I'm high on the Chargers. I've talked about some teams
Speaker 1: where last week I was like, don't look now, the
Speaker 1: Chargers were definitely one of them. They're part of the
Speaker 1: reason I hit my par lay over at the sports
Speaker 1: book on Sunday. If you hit me on at spitt
Speaker 1: and Speed, you see where I was all weekend. Um,
Speaker 1: but this is great get to be The Chargers might
Speaker 1: get a Pro Bowl caliber tight end back and a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber passwasher back in the next month or so,
Speaker 1: because remember, Joey Boza could be coming back augmenting that defense.
Speaker 1: I've told you about the Los Angeles Chargers as a defense. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's go once again bring up their schedule. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you about the Charges. People ask me about defenses to stream.
Speaker 1: All right, Listen, next week, Oakland, I'll take it. The
Speaker 1: week after that, Denver, I'll take it the week after that, Arizona.
Speaker 1: I'll take the Charges as a fantasy defense for the
Speaker 1: rest of the regular season. Thank you, very very much. Alright.
Speaker 1: Other news and notes, Listen, Chris Carson banged up with
Speaker 1: that thigh. All right, he's day to day. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get practice reports later on in the week. But yes,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, Mike Davis is a viable
Speaker 1: waiver wire. Add because if if Carson's not there, remember
Speaker 1: how much Seattle Seahawks are running the ball. Remember I've
Speaker 1: been talking about that that the Seahawks are running something
Speaker 1: like six of the time. All right, So yeah, you
Speaker 1: want that running back, whoever it is. And if Carson's out, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be the kid. Penny I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Mike Davis. So that's interesting. The
Speaker 1: other injuries I want to talk about last week, and
Speaker 1: you know, people don't look at this. A lot fantasy
Speaker 1: players don't look at it. The casual fan Washington football
Speaker 1: team had not one, not two, but three offensive linemen.
Speaker 1: They were already without all Pro tackle Trent Williams. They
Speaker 1: had three offensive lineman go down and I think they're
Speaker 1: all out for the rest of the year. There's two
Speaker 1: starting guards and now out for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: Their tackle is gone for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: You know what that means. That means it is time
Speaker 1: right now to hop off of the Adrian Peterson bandwagon. Okay,
Speaker 1: it is time to hop off. A lot of people
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, Adrian Peters and Adrian Peterson at thirty
Speaker 1: two years old, and blah blah blah, we are now
Speaker 1: getting a complete backup offensive line in Washington. Those guys
Speaker 1: are crazy forget about them all right, So I think
Speaker 1: the shine is off the rows. I am now down
Speaker 1: on Adrian Peterson because of that offensive line. They also
Speaker 1: remember Richardson's gone. They got no weapons anymore, are Okay?
Speaker 1: Washington had a chance. They were five and two, right
Speaker 1: with Dallas struggling with fully getting out of the gate slow,
Speaker 1: they had a chance. They lose in Atlanta to Atlanta
Speaker 1: on Sunday and they lose their offensive Lineman. This I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now. The Philadelphia Eagles are primed to
Speaker 1: win the NFC East, like at nine and seven. That's
Speaker 1: what I think is gonna happen. So watch that now.
Speaker 1: And it's impact on Alex Smith, on Adrian Peterson or
Speaker 1: anybody in Washington. The other thing other news and notes
Speaker 1: to note. A J. Green, guys, this is important. A J.
Speaker 1: Green is gonna miss some time. They're being very vague
Speaker 1: about it because they didn't have to say anything because
Speaker 1: the Bengals warm by last week. A J. Green is
Speaker 1: gonna miss some time, all right. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: miss multiple weeks. I think he's gonna miss two to
Speaker 1: four weeks, all right. And two to four weeks is
Speaker 1: the rest of your fantasy regular season. So if you are,
Speaker 1: you know, eight and one, like Speedies and spitting statistician,
Speaker 1: If you're seven and two, if you feel good about
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's all good. You could stash A J. Green.
Speaker 1: You could bench him for now. Make it rock and
Speaker 1: be Okay, if you're four and five, you're five and
Speaker 1: four and you need to make a push, you need
Speaker 1: to strongly consider trading a J. Green to one of
Speaker 1: the top echelon teams in your league and getting something
Speaker 1: that can help you right now. If you're four and five,
Speaker 1: if you're five and four, you got four weeks left
Speaker 1: and you need to win. I mean in most settings
Speaker 1: and most formats, and you need to win. If you're
Speaker 1: you know, four and five. I've been telling you guys,
Speaker 1: high scoring seven and six team, the highest scoring seven
Speaker 1: and six team is gonna be the last team in
Speaker 1: the playoffs in five. You want to be safe. So
Speaker 1: if you're five and four, you need to go three
Speaker 1: in one year. A J. Green is gonna not help
Speaker 1: you go three in one over the next four weeks. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you need to think short term. And I'm concerned
Speaker 1: about a J. Green. I gotta tell you something. I
Speaker 1: think that toe is gonna be an issue al right. Also,
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is going to be the starting quarterback in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Let's see what he does. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, oh, it's just Oakland, right,
Speaker 1: you know who they have next week the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: You know, Oakland and the Giants both seem to be
Speaker 1: trading fire sale tanking, making quote unquote business decisions. So
Speaker 1: I'm okay with Nick Mullins at least for another week.
Speaker 1: And then also, you know, over the weekend, the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals cut Sam Bradford, so let's see if he latches
Speaker 1: on somewhere. We've been talking about some bad quarterback situations,
Speaker 1: you know, Miami, New York, with the Giants, Jacksonville, Tampa.
Speaker 1: Let's see if Bradford catches on anywhere. All right, thanks
Speaker 1: to everybody in the cipher, we got some questions going on.
Speaker 1: We got people listen, we up at twenty eight likes.
Speaker 1: I like the hundred one people watching right now. What up?
Speaker 1: Saraje Ptel? What up? Chris See? What up? Strong Style?
Speaker 1: What up? Everybody that's out there perry ing and the like.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to your questions big time. All right,
Speaker 1: the whole crew is here. That's what's up. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna answer some of your questions. But first we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into what I got right, what I got wrong?
Speaker 1: So I can set the stage I could be accountable.
Speaker 1: All that good stuff. We'll give you our waiver wise,
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna get at some questions for the
Speaker 1: status over beat cipher here on Fantasy Freestyle episode Oh
Speaker 1: what are we up to? Episode three forty three? That's
Speaker 1: what we gotta do a I don't know, Danny. We
Speaker 1: gotta do something special, like when we hit three fifty,
Speaker 1: because that's gonna happen in the month of December. We're
Speaker 1: gonna hit three fifty, then we're gonna hit three sixty five.
Speaker 1: We gotta do something for that. But anyway, what I
Speaker 1: was right on, what I was wrong, here's what I
Speaker 1: got right. I already talked about this the Baltimore heard.
Speaker 1: I've been telling you that the herd in Baltimore and
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was coming back down to earth Flacco twenty
Speaker 1: three or thirty seven, two nine yards. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Eight different players had receptions, all right, nobody though, had
Speaker 1: more than Mooly Sneed's fifty eight yard. That is a
Speaker 1: true Fantasy herd that is on the way down. I
Speaker 1: am divesting right now from guys like John Brown, from
Speaker 1: Flacco himself, from these tight ends that like four tight
Speaker 1: ends that get catches Okay, three running backs that get
Speaker 1: catches unless you need them. Because of bys. You can
Speaker 1: no longer count on grad Tree on Brown on you know,
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews on, Uh, you know uh Buck Allen. It's
Speaker 1: going down and it's spread so thin. And I told
Speaker 1: you about that. I was right full Chub, baby, it's
Speaker 1: time to go full Chubb. I think he's a low
Speaker 1: end RB one moving forward. I was telling you he's
Speaker 1: right on that RB one to edge and he delivered
Speaker 1: again eighty five yards and a touchdown, a total of
Speaker 1: nine yards and he got listen, twenty three touches. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think that is going to be consistent. Duke Johnson
Speaker 1: is going to be a thing again in the PPR
Speaker 1: receiving game. Nick Chubb is going to be a back
Speaker 1: that is going to tote the rock. Running back is
Speaker 1: soul um, independable. So many teams with time shares and stuff.
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is gonna be a high RB two or
Speaker 1: back end RB one, and I was correct on that one.
Speaker 1: I've also been saying another guy that I kind of
Speaker 1: like his, Dion Lewis Man. I've been saying everyone was
Speaker 1: like off of these Titans, right, Dion Lewis Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: and I've been telling people weight up on Dion Lewis. Well,
Speaker 1: if you listen to Speedies spitting statistician, you were fine,
Speaker 1: okay in nineteen carries for sixty two yards, another sixty
Speaker 1: yards in the receiving game and a touchdown. What's more
Speaker 1: important to me? He outtouched Derrick Henry and what was
Speaker 1: a competitive game for the most part twenty three to eight.
Speaker 1: I've been telling you Dion Lewis is the guy to own.
Speaker 1: Somebody hit me up on social media earlier that Dion
Speaker 1: Lewis was available on their waivers. Go grab him. The
Speaker 1: running backs I'm talking about later on or a tier
Speaker 1: below Dion Lewis, and I think that's where you need
Speaker 1: to go. And also listen, I've been telling you about
Speaker 1: some teams that I think are primed and ready to
Speaker 1: make a statement, and three of them performed really well
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I've been telling you about the Chargers. They
Speaker 1: now are six and two, only a game back of
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the a f C West. Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: maybe having his best season of his career, and I
Speaker 1: know that's crazy because it's something like a seventeen year
Speaker 1: career but he's got nineteen touchdowns and three interceptions in
Speaker 1: eight games. All right, They're getting a healthy Melvin Gordon back,
Speaker 1: Joey bos Is coming back, maybe Hunter Henry. They look good.
Speaker 1: The Saints look incredible. Drew Brees is an m VP candidate,
Speaker 1: and don't forget about the Panthers. Cam Newton goes nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty five, improving his completion percentage. The running totals are there.
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is an absolute beast. Curtis Samuel D J.
Speaker 1: Moore getting involved. I told you these teams are making statements,
Speaker 1: and that is what's happening. When we come back on
Speaker 1: Fantasy Free Style, I'll tell you what I got wrong.
Speaker 1: Come back from the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rodo

Speaker 1: all right, by the way, Brian, uh, Brian Chenissie, I
Speaker 1: hope I got the pronunciation right, Brian, big things. I've
Speaker 1: been seeing you around and I saw that you're gonna
Speaker 1: be at the book next week on Sunday for the
Speaker 1: football games. Okay, So I appreciate that. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: down there on a c I had, you know, our
Speaker 1: our good friend Craig Carton hooked me up with that,
Speaker 1: so big shout out to Craig Carton. We did a
Speaker 1: little bowling outing about a few months ago, and Carton,
Speaker 1: you know, it was nice enough to offer a free
Speaker 1: Atlantic City weekend, uh to the winner, whoever was the
Speaker 1: best bowler and your boys speeds. That spitting statistician put
Speaker 1: up a one nineties six to take the title. So
Speaker 1: I was out there last weekend and it was a
Speaker 1: good time. Brian. You gotta let me tell you something
Speaker 1: right now, Brian. If you go in there, the book
Speaker 1: to go to is that Ocean. Don't go to the
Speaker 1: Borgata book, Don't go to the trop book. Go to Ocean. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that got it right. The William Hill book.
Speaker 1: Nice little comfy chairs and all that stuff. But if
Speaker 1: you're gonna get there for football, you need to get
Speaker 1: there by eleven am to get some kind of area,
Speaker 1: all right, because it's a mad house, all right. But
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. Thanks for the shout out,
Speaker 1: Brian uh Snorke all ops over there. It's it's saying
Speaker 1: positive things. I like that. Um let's get to fifty likes.
Speaker 1: Let's do that big shout out to Snorke called ops.
Speaker 1: Jordan's who's out there? Yeah, I agree with you. Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen is primed and ready to go this week because
Speaker 1: they're facing the Oakland Raiders, and the Oakland Raiders they're
Speaker 1: worried about their tea times, they're not worried about playing football.
Speaker 1: I like that call on Keenan Allen Jordan's big timer.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend, Thank you. I appreciate the love
Speaker 1: as always strong style, you know. I love you. With
Speaker 1: the Chargers d that's where I am going. And the
Speaker 1: tenth flow is asking me about Mike Davis and Elijah McGuire.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I like both of those guys.
Speaker 1: As a waiver wire ad, I have a slight lean
Speaker 1: to Elijah McGuire, especially in PPR formats. Alright, um snap
Speaker 1: count actually had McGuire out snapping Isaiah Crowell on Sunday,
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that a little bit. We got
Speaker 1: a couple of other questions here from the cipher, Jay
Speaker 1: Franco saying I need a handcuff for Gronk, Doyle, Usuma,
Speaker 1: Herndon and Watson are on the wire. Interestingly enough, Herndon
Speaker 1: has been looking good lately. He's the seventh tight end
Speaker 1: in the last month. Okay, but I don't think it's
Speaker 1: herned in for me. Doyle, I like he's coming back
Speaker 1: off buy you have him available. That's nice. I like Doyle,
Speaker 1: but he would be second on this list to me.
Speaker 1: Why because he's still competing with Eric ebron Usama, however,
Speaker 1: I think is very interesting. And the reason why is
Speaker 1: this a J Green injury? Guys. Okay, this is a
Speaker 1: J Green injury. If he misses time, what's gonna wind
Speaker 1: up happening is then Boyd comes to be the number
Speaker 1: one guy. John Ross, the speedster who could have got
Speaker 1: an island. He's practicing again, maybe, but what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: and why this may not be a great thing for
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd as all of a sudden, he's gonna get
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one attention. He's gonna be a wide
Speaker 1: receiver one defense. He's gonna get safety's rolling over to him.
Speaker 1: I love Tyler Boyd, but he's a number two. Is
Speaker 1: he gonna be able to thrive in that kind of
Speaker 1: environment with that kind of attention? I don't think so,
Speaker 1: to be quite honest. So I go to c j Uzma,
Speaker 1: and I think he will be patrolling the field for me.
Speaker 1: Frank Um, Jay Franco. It's either Doyle or Usama. I
Speaker 1: gotta slight lean to Uzuma. Larry m Also, which defense
Speaker 1: should I grab? Bills, Packers, Redskins or Cults. That's an
Speaker 1: interest one. Listen the Washington football team. They have been
Speaker 1: doing it a lot lately. But here's what I I
Speaker 1: liked their defense a lot lately, but I think that
Speaker 1: they're so gashed up because of the offensive line. It
Speaker 1: can really I know it's the offensive line, but that
Speaker 1: can impact an entire team. Right offensive line. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, at Alex Smith sack fumbled and the defense
Speaker 1: is put in a bad place. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: they can't move the ball. Defense is put in a
Speaker 1: bad place. So I like Washington generally. But let's see
Speaker 1: about these matchups. Okay, you're asking about the Bills. The
Speaker 1: Bills play the Jets. That is interesting. Sam Donald has
Speaker 1: been a turnover machine lately, so you know, the Bills
Speaker 1: are an option. Let's see about the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: The Packers they host the Dolphins at home. UM, that
Speaker 1: is also an option. That's an interesting option. UM. So far, though,
Speaker 1: I like the Bills better just because Sam Donald's been
Speaker 1: turning it over so much. Let's see those other options
Speaker 1: for you. The Washington football team of the Indianapolis Colts, UM,
Speaker 1: Washington at Tampa. No, I don't like that. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be a kind of shootout back and forth. And I
Speaker 1: told you I'm not on Washington right now. Was the
Speaker 1: other one? The Colt their home against Jacksonville. You know
Speaker 1: they ain't doing it. Um, give me the Colts. You know,
Speaker 1: I've liked the Colts as a streaming defense. So that's
Speaker 1: my answer for you. There strong style of saying Big
Speaker 1: Ben or Philip Rivers this week, Listen, I've been loving
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. All right, I'm telling you, guys, Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: against Oakland, give me that all day. The Steelers have
Speaker 1: a different, uh kind of matchup Thursday night. Caroline is
Speaker 1: much better defense. Give me Philip Rivers. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get into it. What I got right? What I got wrong?
Speaker 1: I told you what I got right. Here's what I
Speaker 1: got wrong. I gotta acknowledge this to you. Um, Nick Mullins,
Speaker 1: you put it in my eye. When I was here
Speaker 1: last Thursday, I was talking about how I wanted the
Speaker 1: Oakland defense streaming against them. That I was off, Nick Mullins,
Speaker 1: I actually changed a pick in one of my pools.
Speaker 1: I switched from San Francisco Oakland Live here on air. Listen.
Speaker 1: The kid went sixteen two hund and sixty two yards,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, no interceptions in a huge thirty four to
Speaker 1: three win. They have just announced that he's going to
Speaker 1: be the starter. He looked like the moment was not
Speaker 1: too big for him. Um, he put it in my eye.
Speaker 1: I got that wrong, all right. The other thing I
Speaker 1: got wrong, Listen, I was trying to give you, guys,
Speaker 1: Isaiah crow Well as a DFS player. I did give
Speaker 1: him as a DFS play. He defecated the mattress on
Speaker 1: fourteen touches, he only gets a total of fifty two yards.
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire is the one, all right, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire. However, seven carries thirty yards, another three catches
Speaker 1: thirty seven yards. They're gonna use him in the passing game,
Speaker 1: and I think the Jets is gonna need that passing
Speaker 1: game back because Sam Donald putting him in bad spots.
Speaker 1: Now they're they're down in games. He had another four
Speaker 1: picks on Sunday for Sam. I am um, the shine
Speaker 1: is off the rose on the rookie season of Sam
Speaker 1: Donald as well. I'm still comfortable as a Jets fan
Speaker 1: that he is the long term answer. He's just taking
Speaker 1: his rookie bumps and bruises like many rookies do. But
Speaker 1: I was off on crow L mob Ad. I was
Speaker 1: also off on that Washington Atlanta game. I liked Washington.
Speaker 1: I was part of that crew that was like, Oh
Speaker 1: atlant is gonna be outside. Oh Washington is a sneaky
Speaker 1: five and two. They've been doing it. I was wrong.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan three hundred fifty yards, four touchdowns outside. I
Speaker 1: think the Falcons are kind of trying to get right,
Speaker 1: And I told you from here on in, I think
Speaker 1: the Washington football team is full gazy. They don't have
Speaker 1: an offensive line. One of the things. You know, I
Speaker 1: was close. I was telling you two guys that I
Speaker 1: thought it would standing to benefit after the trading deadline.
Speaker 1: They were Courtland Sutton in Denver and Golladay in Detroit,
Speaker 1: and something goes three for fifty seven. All right, but
Speaker 1: Jeff Hireman is taking all these Damerius Thomas kind of looks,
Speaker 1: and that's a little bit crazy. I'm okay with it, right.
Speaker 1: I still think he's climbing, but he didn't fully live
Speaker 1: up to expectations last week. I acknowledged that. And Golladay listen,
Speaker 1: six and a rushing yard, right, So I still think
Speaker 1: they're gonna use that opportunity. But THEO Riddic came back
Speaker 1: in that scenario, and THEO Riddic caught like seven ball
Speaker 1: something like that. So I think that's, you know, something's
Speaker 1: gonna have to contend with and THEO Riddick maybe doing
Speaker 1: the short passing game role that Golden Tate once had.
Speaker 1: All right, so let's do this. Let's get into our
Speaker 1: waivers for different positions. Okay, at quarterback, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, Nick Mullins, go right ahead. I'm okay with
Speaker 1: that if you need him. And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: Because the next two games Nick Mullins has are against
Speaker 1: the Giants and against Tampa Bay. That's a nice little
Speaker 1: stretch he can make some hey against those two guys
Speaker 1: because against those two defenses. So because of that, I'm
Speaker 1: okay with Nick Mullins in the short term. If you
Speaker 1: need a short term ad. Let's say, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. You got DeShawn Watson and Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: on by this week, right, that's possible. The other guy
Speaker 1: I will tell you to look for. And this is
Speaker 1: a proactive play. I set it at the top of
Speaker 1: the show that Hawball is saying he's still rolling with Flacco.
Speaker 1: It might be time for you to get Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: on some rosters if you're gonna be in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, I don't think it's gonna be the quarterback
Speaker 1: for the Ravens in the playoffs. So you may need
Speaker 1: to invest now in Lamar Jackson when they're on by
Speaker 1: before when Hawball is still can that talk about Flacco. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there are some quarterbacks there on that side, Um,
Speaker 1: but hopefully you don't need a quarterback right Um, the
Speaker 1: running back I told you I got not one, not two,
Speaker 1: but three PPR kind of guys. Here's what I'm talking about. First,
Speaker 1: only forty percent owned Duke Johnson. Okay. Remember new head,
Speaker 1: no head coach, no offensive coordinator. They were going to change,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to see what it was. The change
Speaker 1: is that they are getting Duke Johnson involved as a
Speaker 1: pass catching back. Chubb is gonna still get tote the rock,
Speaker 1: but Duke Johnson is going to get involved. He called
Speaker 1: a ton of balls, got in the end zone right now,
Speaker 1: pick up Duke Johnson. Okay, especially in PPR leaves. Duke
Speaker 1: Johnson is my number one AD. My number two AD's
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire from the Jets. He outsnapped Isaiah Crowell. Alright,
Speaker 1: I think Elijah McGuire is gonna be that PPR back
Speaker 1: similar to Duke Johnson, similar Theo Riddick, who I also
Speaker 1: have on this list. If you need a PPR back
Speaker 1: right now, listen, you can be on buy with no
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, with no Lamar Miller, with no uh you
Speaker 1: know Lindsay with no Cook or lat Murray, and you
Speaker 1: can do a lot worse than Elijah McGuire this week. Okay,
Speaker 1: in PPR formats, I think he'll be just fine. I
Speaker 1: told you about theoretic as well, but don't get it
Speaker 1: to its. I mentioned Mike Davis as well as a
Speaker 1: guy if Um Carson doesn't go, so keep an eye
Speaker 1: out on that Carson injury news if he's practicing later
Speaker 1: on in the week. Don't get it twisted. Also, at
Speaker 1: running back, you're a couple of guys. Remember I always say,
Speaker 1: look at the teams who had the by last week.
Speaker 1: Maybe someone had to drop someone who is viable because
Speaker 1: that team was on by and now they're back in action.
Speaker 1: So I look at Indianapolis and I look at Philadelphia. Here,
Speaker 1: not hem Hines is owned in only thirty percent of
Speaker 1: leagues right now. Okay, He's someone you can look at,
Speaker 1: especially in PPR leagues. You know, Marlon Mack is gonna
Speaker 1: be that early down guy, but you've seen Hines pop off.
Speaker 1: Hines is gonna catch some balls as well. Not he
Speaker 1: Hines is worth Look, he's available in two thirds of leagues.
Speaker 1: And then on Philly you want to take a flyer
Speaker 1: on the kid Josh Adams. Go ahead. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: The reason why because it's about upside, right, like you
Speaker 1: know what, Mike Davis is gonna be you know, you
Speaker 1: know what like theoretic and some of these other guys
Speaker 1: are gonna be. Adams has a chance the upside to
Speaker 1: grab this role, okay, and then they're not you know,
Speaker 1: playing musical chairs with guys like Clement and Smallwood and Spoils.
Speaker 1: When he gets back, there's a chance that they like
Speaker 1: this kid Adams out of Notre Dame. If they want
Speaker 1: him to be the guy, he's got a shot to
Speaker 1: be the guy. So your your potential value there is
Speaker 1: a lot better if you invest in Adams. So I
Speaker 1: think that is okay. All right, let's talk about wide
Speaker 1: receivers and wide receiver tip. Here's some guys that want
Speaker 1: to give you. I talked about NDS already. Vale that
Speaker 1: Scanling's own in about of leagues. Go get him with
Speaker 1: Alison going to I R Now this Scanling has been
Speaker 1: great in the last couple of weeks, and fill in
Speaker 1: duty for these guys, whether it's cob or Allison MVS
Speaker 1: is viable. Aaron Rodgers looks his way. Get you some
Speaker 1: mvs if he is available in your league. Some of
Speaker 1: the guys though, uh, Tyrell Williams who might be available.
Speaker 1: Tyrell Williams, who's headed into free agency, is having a
Speaker 1: nice little year. He is the number two options there
Speaker 1: behind Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen had a great game. Keenan Allen.
Speaker 1: It was nice to see him back into the fold.
Speaker 1: I know he has been disappointing owners for a long
Speaker 1: time now this season. But Ty Williams, I think is
Speaker 1: a guy to own. Okay, so he's only only league's
Speaker 1: I would go mvs Ty Williams. Let me give you
Speaker 1: another name. This is off the beaten path. This guy
Speaker 1: is only one percent owned. Go to Tampa. Adam Humphries
Speaker 1: is a guy that I'm okay with you getting in
Speaker 1: a kind of bye week filling Okay, if you have
Speaker 1: to fill in, like I have teams where I have
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and Stefon Diggs right Mannie Sanders. So I'm
Speaker 1: losing all those guys this week. I'm gonna need a
Speaker 1: guy like Adam Humphries and Jameis excuse me, Fitzpatrick is
Speaker 1: looking his way last couple of weeks, Humphries looks to
Speaker 1: me like he's almost OpEd over Chris Godwin in the
Speaker 1: pecking order. It looks like Godwin is now a little
Speaker 1: bit touchdown dependent. In my opinion, how'm free is might
Speaker 1: be a name to know. Okay, so I give you MVS.
Speaker 1: I give you Tyrell Williams. I gave you MVS. That
Speaker 1: sounds like something you need to see a doctor about.
Speaker 1: And if it lasts for longer than four hours, you know,
Speaker 1: go see a doctor as well. But MVS. I like
Speaker 1: ty Well Williams. I like Adam Humphries. I like two
Speaker 1: other names. Listen. One is Maurice Harris. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be this is the wide receiver at Washington. That's kind
Speaker 1: of filling in right there on that role if Richardson
Speaker 1: goes down. But I don't believe in Harris. Why I
Speaker 1: told you already. I don't believe in this offense. They
Speaker 1: just lost three offensive lineman. I think they're gonna be blunt,
Speaker 1: guts trash. So give me a piece of the more
Speaker 1: productive offenses. I said that this morning. Give me as
Speaker 1: many Saints, Chiefs, Rams, Chargers, Patriots, Eagles as possible. Give
Speaker 1: me Tyrell Williams as a charger over Maurice Harris as
Speaker 1: Washington football team player. Okay, because of the size of
Speaker 1: the pie, the production of that offense. But I'm off him.
Speaker 1: I can't understand he is being heavily added in a
Speaker 1: lot of places. Check that James and Crowder injury for that.
Speaker 1: What are the name? Listen, it's interesting. It's Cordurole Patterson.
Speaker 1: Cordaruroll Patterson has been serving as a running back. I
Speaker 1: wonder if he's ever gonna be r B eligible, to
Speaker 1: be quite honest. But the reason I don't think it's
Speaker 1: that is because it looks like my guy, the stereotype
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle is coming back this week and week ten,
Speaker 1: and that would rend the Cordole Patterson in his Russian
Speaker 1: game and complete again. Think about who's coming off by
Speaker 1: the Cardinals were on by last week. Larry Fitzgerald is
Speaker 1: only sevent owned right now. You can get of You
Speaker 1: can go out and get Larry fitz if that's an option,
Speaker 1: go do that. Similarly, Christian Kirk is forty percent owned. Okay,
Speaker 1: so those are other guys to look at real quick.
Speaker 1: Let me do this. Let me give out the phone
Speaker 1: number right now, let's take some calls here at the
Speaker 1: second end. The towards the end of this segment, we'll
Speaker 1: do more with the stats over beat cipher. In our
Speaker 1: final segment. The number to call guys three seven, seven,
Speaker 1: six seven six six one four. Remember the number of
Speaker 1: call is three four seven seven six seven six six
Speaker 1: one four, as we get it popping with the stats
Speaker 1: over beat cipher. Before we do that, UM, I want
Speaker 1: to give you some tight ends. I've been mentioning them already.
Speaker 1: If you want to go Jeff Ihironman deep kind of
Speaker 1: stashed sleeper, I'm okay with that, but I think you
Speaker 1: can do better. Herndon the other question was I like
Speaker 1: him if he's available, but my two guys are gonna
Speaker 1: be Jack Doyle and c j Uzma. Boyle is owned
Speaker 1: in thirty eight percent of leagues USUMA and only twenty
Speaker 1: three percent of leagues, so I think that is very,
Speaker 1: very interesting. And remember, if there's no A J. Green,
Speaker 1: I think defenses are gonna start rolling towards Tyler Boyd.
Speaker 1: They're gonna need another option to alleviate it. And I
Speaker 1: think that option is going to be the tight end USUMA.
Speaker 1: If you want to know the truth, all right, Let's
Speaker 1: look at some questions here. Um, I got strong, I
Speaker 1: said strong Stywhere Sam Asuke? Should I drop Corey Davis,
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel or Alex Collins in a fourth team full PPR? No, Um,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't drop Corey Davis. What you see out of him, uh,
Speaker 1: last night is kind of what you get from him,
Speaker 1: and that's, you know, I think that's okay. I would
Speaker 1: not drop Gabriel either. To be quite Gabriel might be
Speaker 1: the one, and Alex Collins, I'm definitely not dropping. That's
Speaker 1: a starting running back in the NFL. I'm not dropping
Speaker 1: him in a fourteen team league. In a fourteen team league, Sam, Uh,
Speaker 1: starting running back in the NFL is a prize commodity, right,
Speaker 1: So I'm not dropping Alex Collins, Sam, I'm not really
Speaker 1: dropping Corey Davis, Tyler Gabriel of those options would be
Speaker 1: the lowest man on the totem pole for me. And
Speaker 1: that take this from a guy who owns Taylor Gabriel,
Speaker 1: But no, I Uh, Gabriel would be the one that
Speaker 1: I dropped. But I don't necessarily think that is uh
Speaker 1: needs to be your answer. It's like, who are you
Speaker 1: dropping him for? I guess is really what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. Um, that's that's that's what it That's what
Speaker 1: it comes down to. Who are you dropping them for?
Speaker 1: Al Right? Remember the number of call here is three three, four, seven, seven, six,
Speaker 1: seven six six one four week up to fifty six.
Speaker 1: Let's get a little bit more. Yeah, buddy, um yeah,
Speaker 1: Strong Style. You're right, Sony is coming back. All right,
Speaker 1: Sony is coming back. And that pours a little bit
Speaker 1: of water for the uh, you know, for the Quardobill
Speaker 1: Patterson at running back. Santiago is asking me Marvin Jones
Speaker 1: or Josh Gordon. Give me Josh Gordon. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I'm taking any piece of these offenses that I possibly
Speaker 1: possibly can. I understand Marvin Jones has been decent, but
Speaker 1: I'm trying to grab as much Josh Gordon as possible. Ylarium.
Speaker 1: It's all about those stereotypes. Yes, Strong Style, this time
Speaker 1: to hop off Gabriel. That is the way I would go.
Speaker 1: Drop Doug Chase Brown, drop Doug Baldwin. For Adam Humphriese.
Speaker 1: I'm not going that far. Thanks for giving me the
Speaker 1: frame of reference. Chase. I do like Adam Humphriese. I
Speaker 1: understand you being down on Doug Baldwin. But I am
Speaker 1: just not going exactly that far. I think that's a
Speaker 1: little bit much. All right, um really Perry saying Quardarile
Speaker 1: Patterson is eligible at both positions in their league, that
Speaker 1: would be awesome, uh for you, But I don't think
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. I do, in fact, think the stereotype
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle is coming back. All right, guys, we gotta
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a break here is we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. I'm gonna give out the phone number one
Speaker 1: more time three four seven seven six seven six six
Speaker 1: one four. When we come back here, we're gonna do
Speaker 1: I see the callers lighten up. We're gonna take the calls.
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna, you know, play a little game of

Speaker 1: you they it's a new regime there. I was telling
Speaker 1: everybody there's going to be something different about the offense.
Speaker 1: Let's see what it is. I think what it is
Speaker 1: they're going to get Duke Johnson back involved in that
Speaker 1: passing game. I'm gonna hang my hat on that mobi
Speaker 1: one canobie. But let's go to the let's go to
Speaker 1: the phones right now. We kick it off. Oh, we

Speaker 1: speech dey dilty, Terry went in the cipher. Um, luckily
Speaker 1: I'm not stuck in traffic. Okay, that's good. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just had a quick question. Um, I have. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's just start Big Ben uh this Thursday
Speaker 1: versus Carolina or fitz Magic versus Redskins. Interesting? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's standardly well for the quarterback. That doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1: Um then Thursday and Carolina. Listen. I understand the question,
Speaker 1: and I understand the concern. Okay about Big Ben got
Speaker 1: that finger, you got banged up on Sunday. But you
Speaker 1: know about Ben at home. You know about the home
Speaker 1: team on Thursday Night football. I just think Ben has
Speaker 1: been humming lately. I think that Steelers offense has hit
Speaker 1: their stride, and Fitzpatrick on any given week is gonna
Speaker 1: throw you three or four picks. I ride been on
Speaker 1: this one, Liz. All right, that's where I'm going because
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are kind of hitting a groove
Speaker 1: right now, and I think that they're gonna do okay,
Speaker 1: even though Caroline is a good squad, them coming on
Speaker 1: the road on a short week. I give me Ben
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. That's where I'm going. All right, Let's hope
Speaker 1: it works out for you. Feel free to give me
Speaker 1: a call next week and let me know how it
Speaker 1: turned out. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, Next caller
Speaker 1: is Johnny. Johnny is from Austin. Hey, Austin. Are you
Speaker 1: a sixth Street kind of guy or a dirty six
Speaker 1: Street kind of guy? Oh? Speed, do you know where
Speaker 1: the dirty six type? Yeah, buddy, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Any Oh dude, not much. Hey, first, I want to
Speaker 1: give a quick shout out. You helped me win two
Speaker 1: of my three leagues last year. I appreciate nice. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you, Johnny, and you know I'm sorry I couldn't
Speaker 1: help you win all three. But that's what this year
Speaker 1: is all about. How can we do it? Johnny? You
Speaker 1: know what, man? Hey, real quick? Just Rob Ground could
Speaker 1: been a big, big bust um, but I got Jack Doyle.
Speaker 1: When everybody is down and out, he picked them up
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. What do you think the
Speaker 1: rest of the year. You gotta keep both of you.
Speaker 1: You can't know, you can't, but ahead, Okay, So I
Speaker 1: have a flex spot. I have a flex do I
Speaker 1: go to Corey Parson offense going double tight end. So
Speaker 1: here's what I'm saying, and so so here's you. Here
Speaker 1: you go, Johnny. No, I'm not going to Corey Parson
Speaker 1: double tight end offense. That's not what I'm saying. What
Speaker 1: I am saying, though, is you've gotta keep both of
Speaker 1: them in this case, Doyle and Gronk on your roster
Speaker 1: because you just said it. Gronk has been defecating the
Speaker 1: mattress and Gronk has these injuries. You don't want to
Speaker 1: be in a place later on where you lose Gronk
Speaker 1: and then you're at the bottom of the battle. You
Speaker 1: need to keep Doyle as the insurance policy. But I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Johnny, if Gronk is active, you gotta
Speaker 1: play Gronk. No, I wouldn't go double tight end. I'm
Speaker 1: keeping Jack Doyle is my insurance policy. If Gronk, you know,
Speaker 1: misses games. He's missed two of the last three games. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you gotta like putting oil in there. But if
Speaker 1: Gronk is active, you gotta go Gronk. Johnny, and thank
Speaker 1: you for the kind words. I'm glad that we helped
Speaker 1: you win a little bit of cash. That's what we
Speaker 1: do here with the Status over Beat cipher. Here we
Speaker 1: do on the Fantasy Freestyle, we help you win your
Speaker 1: leagues and win that cash. And apparently I did that
Speaker 1: for Johnny down there on Dirty six I would say
Speaker 1: dilly dilly, But I got this pink drink tonight. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I gotta do some work on it. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe this is an an autumnal need. We
Speaker 1: shall see next up on the Fantasy Freestyle, it's one
Speaker 1: of the guys who's always on, usually one of the
Speaker 1: first callers. We were down to Tampah. Connor, what's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: You've been telling me about your team and how amazing
Speaker 1: it is, but you're still catching els and what do
Speaker 1: we do with these bucks? Things are crazy down there
Speaker 1: in Tampa. Tell me what your question is. And while
Speaker 1: you're talking, I'm gonna take a drink. What's up? Connor?
Speaker 1: What up? Yeah? What to do with? Shoo me over?
Speaker 1: This year? I went on a six game with this week.
Speaker 1: After my two win, I'll start, but I finally won
Speaker 1: my next game. Back in the mix, do you think
Speaker 1: I'm what? Are you? Three and six? Yeah? What's your point?
Speaker 1: It depends on your points, man, Like, Let's put it
Speaker 1: this way. You're gonna have to get hot. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to win out. Okay, if you win out, if
Speaker 1: you win four in a row and you get to
Speaker 1: seven and six, I've you've told me your guys before.
Speaker 1: I remember you have decent players. I'm sure your point total,
Speaker 1: am I correct, Connor that your point total at three
Speaker 1: and six is better than some of the four and
Speaker 1: five teams. Yeah, my high scoring team in the league.
Speaker 1: You're the high scoring team in the league. Then no,
Speaker 1: you're not out of it, brother man. You've just been
Speaker 1: catching bad luck like people like lew it works. It's
Speaker 1: really dumb. It's just on the top six team to
Speaker 1: make it. It's not like the sixth seed on the
Speaker 1: sixth and the highest scoring team in the league. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I hear you. That's what you gotta do, though, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta win out and get to a record that
Speaker 1: could get you in a tiebreaker for the last spot.
Speaker 1: I think it's possible, but you've got no room forever,
Speaker 1: brother man. All right, Connor, at a quick question. What
Speaker 1: you got tack two? It is, guys, fix so you
Speaker 1: gotta pay between Doug Baldwin, carry on Johnson, a P
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. Al Right, I heard Baldwin, I heard carry
Speaker 1: on Johnson, I heard a P. Well, the other last
Speaker 1: two Kenny Golladay and um and Corey Davis is PPR.
Speaker 1: You said alright, and how many do I need? You
Speaker 1: need to? All right, it's not a P anymore. Remember
Speaker 1: I told you I'm worried about a P because the
Speaker 1: offensive lineman just got eviscerated. So it's not him, it's
Speaker 1: not Corey Davis, because I think that's like, that's like
Speaker 1: kind of whole hum for me. Um, give me carry on.
Speaker 1: Johnson is one of them. And you know, I want
Speaker 1: to play the Madonna music so bad. But I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna give you both lines. I'm gonna give you carry
Speaker 1: on Johnson and Doug Baldwin. That's where I would go, Connor.
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to invest too much in
Speaker 1: the Lions, you know what I mean. I don't want
Speaker 1: you having both. That's the thing. I don't want you
Speaker 1: having both carry on Johnson and Golliday. And then they
Speaker 1: go ahead and defecate the mattress in Chicago this week,
Speaker 1: which is possible, and I think if that happens, it
Speaker 1: would be Golladay. That would be s ol not necessarily kJ.
Speaker 1: So give me carry on Johnson and Doug Baldwin. All
Speaker 1: right there, Connor, carry on. On. That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: All right, one more call? We got time for one
Speaker 1: more call right now. Sam is down there in Georgia.
Speaker 1: Them Georgia Bulldogs look good stomping Kentucky. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: in the sec UH title game. It looks like with Alabama.
Speaker 1: I hope they roll all over that tide. Sam, what's
Speaker 1: up with you? Yeah? Man, I'm actually I'm not really
Speaker 1: a Georgia fan. I'm actually more of a New York fan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that kid, Yeah, let me tell you something. Lijah
Speaker 1: holy Fields kid is running the ball there and Swift
Speaker 1: those are future NFL running bags, bro, So get some
Speaker 1: scouting for fantasy. Yeah. Well, I'm actually a Giants fan,
Speaker 1: but hope hopefully they get better. All right, So what's
Speaker 1: uctually I can help you? I called the live chat
Speaker 1: about about what I talked about dropping either those players
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, Taylor Gabriel or out. Oh that was you? Okay,
Speaker 1: what's up? Yeah? But I had a question about like,
Speaker 1: well I wanted to drop for is that like I
Speaker 1: need an extra defense because my Vikings deefen is um down.
Speaker 1: It's like there on buy So what's available for defense?
Speaker 1: Is that I want to have? Like because I next
Speaker 1: this game. I have because I'm six and three and
Speaker 1: I'm first placed in my division. And who I'm playing
Speaker 1: against he's like, um, he's team, he's like an automatically
Speaker 1: quit Yes, he's Sappers like super And and who the
Speaker 1: team I have right now is Russell Wilson, Melvin Gort
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt, Thomas, you Ju, Trey Burden more and
Speaker 1: I have to Viking defense and Gerry And who was
Speaker 1: available for defense for the Patriots the cold to Jacks
Speaker 1: or the lines with the thoughts The Jags are available.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars defense is available. Yes, someone dropped up, so
Speaker 1: just take it for the playoffs. Yeah, I mean here's
Speaker 1: the thing, um, Listen, I think it's Tyler Gabriel for
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville defense. Because what I was gonna get into
Speaker 1: with you is like, do you just drop the Minnesota
Speaker 1: that He's the other thing you could do. You could
Speaker 1: drop the Minnesota defense for the Jacksonville defense. You know
Speaker 1: that's another way at it too, because Jacksonville is gonna
Speaker 1: be Listen, Jacksonville is gonna be a week two weeks starter.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring up their h I'm trying to
Speaker 1: bring up their schedule right now so I could see
Speaker 1: it with you, right, Um, because and then we got
Speaker 1: to compare that against Minnesota. Right, So listen, Jacksonville, you
Speaker 1: got indeed this week. I'm alright with that. But listen,
Speaker 1: you said you would do a good team. Right, So
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm looking at weeks. Listen, look at Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the playoffs. Weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has Tennessee. Not a dynamic offense. I ain't worried
Speaker 1: about playing Tennessee with Jacksonville defense. Week fifteen, Washington, they
Speaker 1: just lost all their offensive lineman. Not not a dynamic team.
Speaker 1: Week sixteen, Miami, Please, I think you can ride Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: The only time you're gonna be worried about Jacksonville from
Speaker 1: here on in is Week eleven against Pittsburgh. You know,
Speaker 1: this week against Indianapolis, I'm fine with Week twelve, they
Speaker 1: have Buffalo. If you need to push to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: then Tennessee Washington in Miami on a fantasy playoff schedule,
Speaker 1: I would consider. Really, if I were you, Sam, I
Speaker 1: consider just a straight one for one drop Minnesota for
Speaker 1: Jacksonville unless you really love the Minnesota. Let's look at
Speaker 1: Minnesota's defense, alright, they're on the by then. But look, Manna,
Speaker 1: I'm that's the move I would make. I dropp Minnesota
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville. Look, week twelve, they got Green Bay. Week thirteen,
Speaker 1: when you may need a big defensive effort to get
Speaker 1: into the fantasy playoffs, they are at New England. That
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be good for the defense, right, and then
Speaker 1: during the playoffs they see Detroit. Who's another offense that
Speaker 1: you know it's not the best. I would really consider
Speaker 1: Sam that one for one move, drop Minnesota and pick
Speaker 1: up Jacksonville if they're available. Okay, yeah, and one more thing, Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's a great point, Sam, Thank you very much. Yes
Speaker 1: is my answer to your question. And thank you for
Speaker 1: the call and for Sam and everybody else. If you
Speaker 1: are ready and you think you're a playoff team and
Speaker 1: you get as soon as you get through these buys,
Speaker 1: whatever that means for your team, Okay, If, like for me,
Speaker 1: week ten, this week is a bad bye week. Once
Speaker 1: you're set and stable and you got your squad through
Speaker 1: the byes, at that moment in time, you need to
Speaker 1: just like Sam said, you need to start grabbing those handcuffs.
Speaker 1: The spencer wears the Austin Ekeler's you know whoever it is,
Speaker 1: the Malcolm Brown's of the world. Okay, I'm okay with
Speaker 1: even maybe handcuff and your damn quarterback. At that point
Speaker 1: in time, you need to drop your fifth or sixth
Speaker 1: wide receiver, you need to drop that second defense, you
Speaker 1: need to drop that second tight end, and you need
Speaker 1: to start organizing yourself for your playoff run. And Sam
Speaker 1: is absolutely right a lot of that involves getting those handcuffs.
Speaker 1: So yes, Spencerware is someone you need, Sam if you're
Speaker 1: a Kareem Hunt owner. Thanks to everybody for the calls.
Speaker 1: Let me now, let me bringing mom man Danny Auto
Speaker 1: down there in the fantasy pit of misery. Big shout
Speaker 1: out to everyone who's liking the show. I got a
Speaker 1: lot of like buttons. Also, Danny, before we get too

Speaker 1: friend ain't getting a road to wear shirt right, But
Speaker 1: it's got lost by point one, by one tenth of
Speaker 1: a point. Okay, and his opponent had Kamara, who like
Speaker 1: short of the very last first down to milk the

Speaker 1: Gordon touchdown was the game winner. From my appointment, from
Speaker 1: my opponent, he left points on the board, not putting valves,

Speaker 1: Not necessarily a game avenges what he's like, I agree
Speaker 1: with you on that one. All right, check this out.
Speaker 1: This one I think is bad. MW number six lost
Speaker 1: by four undredths of a point, not four tenths of
Speaker 1: a point, four hundreds of a point. Similar we've seen
Speaker 1: this before, lost because Tom Brady and the kneel downs
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Damn yeah that you've
Speaker 1: never seen it that close before. Four hundreds of a point?
Speaker 1: Is that that's possible? It is. I'll tell you exactly
Speaker 1: how it a second. But that's a nominee hashtag game
Speaker 1: of inches. Gotta put it right. So here's what they do, Danny.
Speaker 1: Running backs and road receivers. You know it's ten yards
Speaker 1: for a point, right, You know this for most and
Speaker 1: most settings. For quarterbacks it's twenty five yards for a point.
Speaker 1: So that means every yard is point oh four. So
Speaker 1: one passing yard is point oh four m W six
Speaker 1: with the TV kneel Downs losing by point oh four.
Speaker 1: Hashtag game of inches in my league, Danny, the team

Speaker 1: a unicorn out there on the five. That team thrilled
Speaker 1: the hunt. That's Adam Stolts just traded for Julio Jones.
Speaker 1: I'm not pleased about that, um, but I digressed. So
Speaker 1: that was another hashtag game of inches? What about this one?
Speaker 1: Mendel Bruce, my man hashtag stats over beat Cipher Mendel Bruce.
Speaker 1: He won by point one four when his opponent lost
Speaker 1: a fumble. Aaron Jones lost a fumble, So you know,
