Speaker 1: that safe book on the microphone. You know that I'm
Speaker 1: one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds Ak
Speaker 1: to spitting Statistician and you are listening live to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Want to give a big shout out to
Speaker 1: anybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio,
Speaker 1: and anybody watching live on the YouTube stream on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Network. You can get at me this hour
Speaker 1: if you want. The number to call is eight four
Speaker 1: four eight four three six eight seven nine. My man
Speaker 1: Chris Bavona, the bounty Hunter, will take good care of you.
Speaker 1: He's on the ones and two. We take it. It's
Speaker 1: so hot that we sweat steam. We got a huge
Speaker 1: show for you. On a Wednesday. We are getting into
Speaker 1: week one of the football season. Listen. We got so
Speaker 1: many calls yesterday that I couldn't get through all the games,
Speaker 1: so we are going to continue to break down the
Speaker 1: Week one matchups. What I'm looking for, what you need
Speaker 1: to look for in terms of trends, who to start,
Speaker 1: who to sit, who to fade. I got some survivor
Speaker 1: picks for you. I got some against the spread picks
Speaker 1: for you. We are gonna give you everything you need
Speaker 1: for Week one. We will also take your calls. As
Speaker 1: I said, if you got calls or comments on the
Speaker 1: YouTube stream, we're gonna try and address those as well.
Speaker 1: We gotta pull question up as well on Twitter. Okay,
Speaker 1: my question is do you agree pretty much with the
Speaker 1: two main decisions that the NFL has made over the
Speaker 1: last twenty four thirty six hours to impact Week one,
Speaker 1: As you know, is Ezekiel Elliott. First of all, the
Speaker 1: arbitrator Harold Henderson. Because the NFL plays judge, jury and
Speaker 1: appeal judge and executioner, they have decided to uphold the
Speaker 1: six game suspension for Ezekiel Elliott. But because of a
Speaker 1: little bit of timing and paperwork and filing, somehow they
Speaker 1: missed the deadline and so Zeke Elliott will still be
Speaker 1: allowed to play in prime time on Sunday Night Football
Speaker 1: against the New York Football Giants and keeping the ratings high,
Speaker 1: keeping their corporate partner NBC happy, M M M, and
Speaker 1: then Ezekiel Elliott will wind up missing six games starting
Speaker 1: in Week two. I think the NFL is crazy like
Speaker 1: a fox, and all of a sudden, the stars aligned
Speaker 1: to make sure that their star players will still be
Speaker 1: there in their prime time window. I'm disgusted by the
Speaker 1: way the NFL has handled this entire Zeke Elliott's situation.
Speaker 1: But if you have questions about that how that impacts
Speaker 1: guys like Darren McFadden, for example, or Zeke Elliott himself,
Speaker 1: you can holler at me at eight four four eight
Speaker 1: four three six, eight seven nine, and then also listen.
Speaker 1: The NFL came out this morning and said that this
Speaker 1: Buccaneers Dolphins game. We knew yesterday that it wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: happen in Miami, but I thought they were gonna wind
Speaker 1: up moving it to another site. You know, Pittsburgh and
Speaker 1: Philadelphia where the where the places that were really talked about.
Speaker 1: There were other places down south like Atlanta, Carolina that
Speaker 1: would have been vacant because their teams are on the road,
Speaker 1: but instead they are moving it to the shared by
Speaker 1: of week eleven that both teams had as a bye week.
Speaker 1: I think this has major implications for Week one and
Speaker 1: for the season along outlook on both of these teams.
Speaker 1: And it is not a positive, uh, you know, not
Speaker 1: a positive you know news for them. They're gonna have
Speaker 1: to play sixteen weeks in a row. I don't think
Speaker 1: that helps. Come on back, we dropped. Since that's over, beats,
Speaker 1: it's a fantasy freeze on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Game one Week one and your calls when we come back,
Speaker 1: Let's go Quarterback to receiver hook ups, running back depth analysis,
Speaker 1: rookie values in domensty leagues, deep sleepers, training camp battles.

Speaker 1: opponent in Week one of the NFL season. In is
Speaker 1: Week one of fantasy football as well. This is your boy,
Speaker 1: Dame Martinez Speed has been statistician. Welcome in you back
Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle right here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We got a whole
Speaker 1: lot of callers and we gonna get to your calls
Speaker 1: in a second. First, I do want to share some
Speaker 1: news and notes around in the NFL right here as
Speaker 1: we get ready for Week one. Odell Beckham Jr. He
Speaker 1: did not practice today, remember, still nursing that ankle injury
Speaker 1: that he got in that preseason game against the Browns.
Speaker 1: He has yet to be cleared, and he came out
Speaker 1: today and there are reports that he is more hopeful
Speaker 1: than confident that he will be able to make it
Speaker 1: happen been play Week one against the Cowboys in that
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. I'm thinking I might have Brandon Marshall
Speaker 1: in my DFS lineups if that's the case. If Oldell
Speaker 1: Beckham is not able to go, he probably will, though,
Speaker 1: remember he still got a few more days to test
Speaker 1: out that ankle. Jeremy Hill did practice also with an
Speaker 1: ankle injury. That creates a kind of three Headed Monster
Speaker 1: in the Cincinnati backfield, Jeremy Hill, Giovanni Bernard, and the
Speaker 1: rookie Joe Mixon. So, uh, we'll see if any of
Speaker 1: those guys emerge, or if it's smart to kind of
Speaker 1: wait and see how the roles clarify. In Cincinnati, da
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas, he has returned to practice noticing that groin injury.
Speaker 1: It looks like he'll be good to go Monday Night
Speaker 1: football as Denver Bronco's take on the Los Angeles not
Speaker 1: San Diego Superchargers in Baltimore, it looks like all these
Speaker 1: guys are ready to go. Okay, Joe Flacco has been cleared.
Speaker 1: He's ready for Week one coming off that back injury.
Speaker 1: Danny Woodhead is back at practice coming off the hamstring.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin practicing in full as well, coming off that
Speaker 1: foot injury. In Buffalo, it seems like people are gonna
Speaker 1: be ready to go as well. We know Tyrod Taylor
Speaker 1: Team mobile is gonna start. You can add Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: to the list of guys on the Bills who will
Speaker 1: be ready to go Week one against the New York
Speaker 1: Jets Jets. Jets Jets in Seattle, though, it's not as
Speaker 1: clear in Seattle. The Seahawks are going to be in
Speaker 1: Green Bay at Lambo Field, taken on the Packers, and
Speaker 1: what is the game of the week in the A
Speaker 1: in the like late game set and listen, Thomas Rawls
Speaker 1: is now they're saying it's a high ankle sprain. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be listed as questionable. However, c J prosise their
Speaker 1: pass catching back. They say he is a hundred percent.
Speaker 1: He's ahead of Rawls in that recovery and Eddie Lacey
Speaker 1: maybe in store for a revenge factor kind of big
Speaker 1: game as he comes back to battle his former team,
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. I talked a little bit about
Speaker 1: how the NFL decided to uh move this Bucks Dolphins
Speaker 1: game to Week eleven, and there's big impacts. I mean,
Speaker 1: you drafted Mike Evans maybe in the first round, and
Speaker 1: now he's not there for you. You know, you drafted J. A. G. I. E.
Speaker 1: Early and now he's not there for you. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think this is not only does this has implications for fantasy.
Speaker 1: You're obviously gonna have to, you know, like do some
Speaker 1: of your bench guys. And now the bright side is
Speaker 1: at least this is their bye week. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: out there sixteen weeks in a row for you for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But I think this has
Speaker 1: an impact, especially on the Tampa Bay Bucks. A lot
Speaker 1: of people like Tampa Bay to do work in that
Speaker 1: NFC self division. I don't know if a young team
Speaker 1: without the opportunity to have a buy you know, is
Speaker 1: um something that you should be on. Okay, I think
Speaker 1: the dog days of the season, the war of attrition
Speaker 1: that it is. You like them having that late week
Speaker 1: eleven by when they don't have that anymore, they don't
Speaker 1: have that opportunity to you know, self scout and get better. Listen,
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks were four to one choice to
Speaker 1: win the NFC South and they were a sexy pick. Okay,
Speaker 1: A lot of people were talking about the Bucks. I
Speaker 1: know my man Corey Parson, the fantasy executives that I'm
Speaker 1: talking with on Sundays, he was on the Bucks to
Speaker 1: win that NFC South. He went over to my bookie
Speaker 1: dot a g G at plus three hundred. He dropped
Speaker 1: a couple of shekels. Whether it's the Bucks or another team,
Speaker 1: you should go over to my bookie dot AG right now.
Speaker 1: They give you a hundred percent match bonus if when
Speaker 1: you enter, you enter the promo code freestyle tell him
Speaker 1: Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician sent you. I think
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Also, the Miami Dolphins, they have a
Speaker 1: London game in Week four. They were supposed to they
Speaker 1: were the home team for a London game, So maybe
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why they didn't want to
Speaker 1: deprive the Dolphins fans out of another kind of home
Speaker 1: date that is ultimately not played down in South Florida.
Speaker 1: But I think this is a problem for both the teams.
Speaker 1: So if you have you know, if you have a
Speaker 1: DeVante Park or a Jarvis Landry, a j A gi
Speaker 1: a Pop Quiz Jock Quiz Rogers and Mike Evans and
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson and Jameis Winston, and you want to know,
Speaker 1: how do we replace that? Holler boy, Dame Martinez at
Speaker 1: eight four four, eight four, three six, eight seven nine,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk you through it. Okay, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: talking through these Week one matchups. But it looks like
Speaker 1: we have a ton of calls. Chris Bovona, we got
Speaker 1: a ton of calls. Let's get to some of them.
Speaker 1: The first one is Manny in Callie. Is that right?
Speaker 1: If we still got Manny and Kelly? You're dropping stats
Speaker 1: over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with Dame Martinez. What's up, Manny? Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm calling in because I'm gonna Standard League. I got
Speaker 1: t Y he's supposed to play, but then on the bench,
Speaker 1: I got Emmanuel Standards, I got the Pyrcle song and
Speaker 1: uh Adam filling for. I wanted to see who should
Speaker 1: I play? Yeah, Adam Feeling is the other guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I listen. T Y Hilton. I've been telling everybody that
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton is a full gaze someone you need
Speaker 1: to fade, something you need to forget about, because you know,
Speaker 1: without Andrew Luck there the drop down the Scott Tolzine
Speaker 1: is big. You're talking about some other wide receivers though,
Speaker 1: that are right in the same area in terms of
Speaker 1: Week one rankings. Pierre Garson, you talk about Manny Sanders.
Speaker 1: I like both of those guys over t Y Hilton
Speaker 1: if need be. And the sounds like the last guy
Speaker 1: you mentioned was Adam Feeling. Adam Feeling going Monday Night
Speaker 1: football against the New Orleans Saints. The Stints have a
Speaker 1: horrible past defense, and I don't think that's gonna change
Speaker 1: at all. So yeah, I would start all three of
Speaker 1: those guys over t Y Hilton Garson, Manny Sanders and
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland. I'm taking a wait and see approach with
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. I don't think they're gonna do much
Speaker 1: against Los Angeles with Scott Tolzine under center for the
Speaker 1: Colts Week one. Heyo, thanks for the call, though it
Speaker 1: sounds like we got another call Chris John and Colorado
Speaker 1: has a question about a flex option some running backs
Speaker 1: to put Jeff and Colorado. My bad, you're on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. What's up with your question? Yeah? Um, I
Speaker 1: was just watering who should I start as a flex
Speaker 1: option for either? Um? I have Mike Gillislei on my bench,
Speaker 1: um and um I also have Joe Mixon and Pure Garcel. Okay,
Speaker 1: And this is a flexibi. Is this a PPR league? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a ten man PPR. Okay, So because it's PPR,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stray away from Mike Gillieslei. Okay. Mike Gillieslei
Speaker 1: for the Patriots is gonna be that back that is
Speaker 1: not necessarily the pass catcher. Okay, the pass catching back
Speaker 1: is Dion Lewis is James White, And I don't think
Speaker 1: Gilleslei is gonna give you that kind of production. I
Speaker 1: like the other option better, and you talked about it,
Speaker 1: Joe Mixing, and I like Joe Mixon. This is a
Speaker 1: kid dripping with upside. I talked about it on the
Speaker 1: DFS Lineup Block Show with Tony Sencada before we talked
Speaker 1: about how Joe Mixon, even though it is a crowded backfield,
Speaker 1: Mixing has shown to be a guy who had the skill,
Speaker 1: maybe the best in that running back room. Jeremy, don't don't,
Speaker 1: don't worry. Don't worry, Jeff. Even if you know you
Speaker 1: get news that Jeremy Hill is going to get the start,
Speaker 1: I still think Joe Mixing is the guy. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna pop off and have a great debut Week
Speaker 1: one against the Baltimore Ravens. So thank you for the
Speaker 1: call in Colorado. I appreciate you joining the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: All right, it sounds like we got another question. We
Speaker 1: got calls up the ying Yang. If you want to
Speaker 1: holler at your boy, call him. And now, like I was,
Speaker 1: miss Cleo at eight four four, eight, four, three, six,
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. We're taking your calls all this segment.
Speaker 1: It looks like Justin in New York has a question
Speaker 1: about his flex spot eight. Justin, you're on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle with speed. What's up? Hey, what's up? Man? I'm
Speaker 1: calling because I'm in a little bit of a quarterback conundrum. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should start Alex Smith tomorrow
Speaker 1: night or Philip Rivers on Monday. Okay, that isn't interesting.
Speaker 1: That is a little bit of a conundrum. And part
Speaker 1: of the reason I think you're you might be asking
Speaker 1: as Philip Rivers. I love Philip Rivers, to be quite honest. Okay,
Speaker 1: I love Philip Rivers in general ahead of Alex Smith.
Speaker 1: The problem is his opponent on Monday night is Denver,
Speaker 1: and Denver has the absolute best secondary, you know, the
Speaker 1: best secondary out there, okay, and so that can stifle
Speaker 1: the passing game. And I understand your concern. However, Alex
Speaker 1: Smith does not move the needle for me. I do
Speaker 1: not recommend Alex Smith, especially on the road in New England,
Speaker 1: in a game where you know the crowd is gonna
Speaker 1: be jacked up. As they hang the banner. I know
Speaker 1: you might think, hey, well, if they're behind, maybe they
Speaker 1: throw the ball a little bit more. That is not
Speaker 1: Alex Smith's game. Okay. He is a dink and dunk guy,
Speaker 1: even when they're down, even when they're supposed to try
Speaker 1: to stretch the field, Alex Smith is allergic to the
Speaker 1: deep ball. I don't care if you're going up against
Speaker 1: that great Denver Broncos defense. I think Philip Rivers. He
Speaker 1: might not go to the wide receivers, but he can
Speaker 1: still go to Antonio Gates, Hunter Henry and Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: and out of the backfield. I like Philip Rivers in
Speaker 1: that situation. Alright, So my pick out of the two,
Speaker 1: I'm not going with Alex Smith justin. I'm going with
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. You can call back next week and thank me,
Speaker 1: my friend. It sounds like we've got time for one
Speaker 1: more caller in this In this segment, we got Chris
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Chris and Arizona. He also has a flex question.
Speaker 1: You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds.
Speaker 1: What's your question? Man? Hey, Dan, I got right, Mare.
Speaker 1: I currently have Jeremy Macklin in my flex spot, but
Speaker 1: I have Adam Feeling on the bench, and I'm really
Speaker 1: concerned because Maclin has no reps really except for this
Speaker 1: week with Flacco, and I wanted to see what you thought.
Speaker 1: Who should I start? Yeah, yeah, I'm I like your thinking, man,
Speaker 1: I like your thinking when faced with Macklin versus Adam Feeling.
Speaker 1: I'm going with Adam Feeling for two main reasons. Okay.
Speaker 1: First of all, Adam Feeling and the and the Vikings
Speaker 1: on Monday Night are at home and they're taking on
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans Saints pass defense is trash. Okay,
Speaker 1: it is straight do do just like the emoji. So
Speaker 1: I like attacking that bad defense. And then you mentioned
Speaker 1: it yourself, je me. Macklin has not gotten in reps
Speaker 1: with the new quarterback for him, Joe Flacco that has
Speaker 1: that chemistry has not built yet, So I like in
Speaker 1: that situation. I like Adam Feeling as the pick. When
Speaker 1: we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, will take some
Speaker 1: more of your calls and I'm gonna preview some more
Speaker 1: Week one matchup. Tell you what I'm thinking. When we
Speaker 1: come back. It's your boy, Dame Martinez. The Speeds is
Speaker 1: fitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats overbeats. Come on,
Speaker 1: back Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL
Speaker 1: softwares are not due to slump, They're due to break out.
Speaker 1: Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two,
Speaker 1: things are only getting the better. Make sure listen live
Speaker 1: and tell o the app FN T S y or Radio.
Speaker 1: It's free and it's seven the best Fantasy sports ten.
Speaker 1: He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Networks.
Speaker 1: Your boy Dame Martinez feeds the spitting statistician holding you down.
Speaker 1: On a Wednesday with my man Chris bovoned about Tokiller,
Speaker 1: and we've got a whole lot of callers. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to some of them in this segment. I also
Speaker 1: want to tell you I'm very excited because tomorrow, at
Speaker 1: this time, right before the Pats and the Chiefs kickoff,
Speaker 1: we're going to have a special interview. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: Jason Robbins on with us. He is the CEO of
Speaker 1: Draft Kings. I know, if you feel like Dandy Fantasy,
Speaker 1: you know about Draft Kings. We're gonna have Jason Robbins,
Speaker 1: he's the CEO of the company. We're gonna ask him
Speaker 1: about some of the things he's doing this year at
Speaker 1: Draft Kings, some of the new contests they're having, and
Speaker 1: some of the you know, spike in business that happens
Speaker 1: with the NFL season. I'm real excited about that. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take a couple of calls in this segment that
Speaker 1: we're gonna go into previewing some of the games. We'll
Speaker 1: be back on the phones taking your calls. Towards the
Speaker 1: end of the show. We got Jacob in Texas who's
Speaker 1: been on hold for a little while. Jake, Uh, you
Speaker 1: gotta trade? Do you want to get the spitting statisticians
Speaker 1: advice on Jacob? You dropping stats over beats on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle? What's your trade? Manum, Hey guys, no, it's
Speaker 1: not actually a trade. Um. You know, I had Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley this year and I was just wanting me if
Speaker 1: he's ready for that breakout year. Um. Another thing is
Speaker 1: I have do I have to be worried about the
Speaker 1: Rob Kelly p p ryns Um maybe touches later on
Speaker 1: and um sort one last one would be yes or no.
Speaker 1: Do you think Josh Gordon would get reinstated this month?
Speaker 1: And is he worth picking up? All right, fair enough,
Speaker 1: thanks for the questions. We've got three of them in there.
Speaker 1: From Jacob in Texas. Let me go, let me go
Speaker 1: in reverse order. Okay. First of all, Josh Gordon, No,
Speaker 1: I do not think he will be reinstated. I think
Speaker 1: you're wasting any kind of roster spot if you have him.
Speaker 1: You know for years people who have been thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: this is when Josh Gordon is gonna come back. No
Speaker 1: is my short answer to that. Do not worry ab
Speaker 1: out Josh Gordon. Secondly, you asked about the running back
Speaker 1: situation in Washington. If you gotta worry about Rob Kelly,
Speaker 1: I think you do, but not necessarily because of the
Speaker 1: reason you mentioned. If you have Rob Kelly like woe
Speaker 1: fat Rob. Yes, I do think some a G. P. Ryan,
Speaker 1: the rookie out of Oklahoma is going to grow in
Speaker 1: his production and grow in his touches as the season
Speaker 1: goes along. But another reason to fade Rob Kelly, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, is the existence of Chris Thompson. Chris Thompson,
Speaker 1: who they just resigned to a two year six and
Speaker 1: a half million guaranteed deal. He is the past catching
Speaker 1: back when they are in the kind of two minute,
Speaker 1: no huddle shotgun and with the Washington football team, that
Speaker 1: is a lot. Okay, Kirk Cousins throws the ball a lot,
Speaker 1: and they like having Chris Thompson on the field when
Speaker 1: they're in there kind of to four minute drill. And
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be operating that way down in
Speaker 1: games a lot this year. I do not think the
Speaker 1: Washington Football team is gonna be in many games. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be behind and throwing the ball. So
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Chris Thompson and what will be an
Speaker 1: emerging Soma G. P Ryan at the end of the season.
Speaker 1: So yes, I would look to do something with fat
Speaker 1: Rob Kelly. The third question that you asked was really
Speaker 1: the first question out of your mouth on the call,
Speaker 1: and it was about Todd Gurley. I like Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: as a bounce back candidate this year. Okay, yes, he
Speaker 1: was stifled, but last year the Rams did not have weapons.
Speaker 1: I've been saying a lot on Fantasy Freestyle. Opponents were
Speaker 1: putting all fifty three men in the box to try
Speaker 1: to stop Todd Gurley, but you can't necessarily do that.
Speaker 1: This year. You got Sammy Watkins on one side, you
Speaker 1: got you know, you got Robert Wood, you got Cooper Cup,
Speaker 1: you having you know, you have Jared Goff getting better
Speaker 1: in year two under that new scheme with the head
Speaker 1: coach Sean McVeigh. So I do think that space opens
Speaker 1: up for Gurley and he has a much better sophomore
Speaker 1: campaign than last year in his rookie season. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the call, Jacob in Texas. We're gonna take one more
Speaker 1: call because then I gotta get into some of my previews.
Speaker 1: We got Taco in Alabama. Taco, you were with us
Speaker 1: earlier this week and you're calling back. You are once
Speaker 1: again dropping stats over beats with speeds to spin statistician.
Speaker 1: How's it going, Taco man? I'm good, just cracked a
Speaker 1: beer open. How are you? You're doing better than I am? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right. I'll be all right when I
Speaker 1: get home, though. What's what's your question? Man? It seems
Speaker 1: like you're struggling with THEO Riddick. Oh yeah, I have
Speaker 1: actually have some questions. First off, let me let me
Speaker 1: creface this, but I'm not hurting it running back my
Speaker 1: starters this week, or David Johnson, Zeke and Cream Hunt.
Speaker 1: You are not hurting it running back. That is absolutely correct,
Speaker 1: all right. But I've got three three wide receivers on
Speaker 1: my bench that I'm not sure about, and THEO Riddick
Speaker 1: is out there, and so is Chris Johnson, you know,
Speaker 1: ready to pick up. I have Kevin White, Dante mon Creep,
Speaker 1: and Zay Jones. And I'm wondering which one of those
Speaker 1: three would you drop to pick up either Riddick or Johnson.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing, you know, I think, to be
Speaker 1: quite honest, Taco, you said it at the very beginning
Speaker 1: of your call. You're not hurt at running back, So
Speaker 1: I don't understand I wouldn't necessarily jump to try to
Speaker 1: pick up theoretic. Okay, I understand that theoretic is great,
Speaker 1: especially in PPR formats. But if you, like you said,
Speaker 1: you are ready you already you already have, already have
Speaker 1: David and Kareem Hunt, theoretic is not really cracking that
Speaker 1: lineup much anyway. So because you are so stout at
Speaker 1: running back, I would look to maintain the talent you
Speaker 1: have that wide receiver, and see you know which one
Speaker 1: of these guys, Pops. You mentioned Zay Jones, you mentioned
Speaker 1: some other guys who I think are viable receivers, and
Speaker 1: one of them is gonna really impress this year. I
Speaker 1: would keep all of the wide receivers. I would not
Speaker 1: drop any of them for theoretic because quite frankly, you
Speaker 1: don't need the help at running back you got Zeke,
Speaker 1: you got David Johnson. Even when Zeke Elliott is missing time,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Kareem Hunt slide in there as your
Speaker 1: RB two. I don't see Riddick cracking that lineup. And
Speaker 1: I like some of the wide receivers that you got there.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't cast the side any of them for theoretic.
Speaker 1: I would ride with put you got. You also mentioned
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. I want no part of Chris Johnson. Okay,
Speaker 1: take that out of your mind. But I like the
Speaker 1: wide receivers you got. I would hold onto them all.
Speaker 1: I would not drop any of them for theoretic right now,
Speaker 1: But thanks for the call, Taco. All right, We're gonna
Speaker 1: take some calls a little bit later on in the
Speaker 1: next segment. But I gotta tell you I got some
Speaker 1: Week one previews that I gotta get out, okay, because
Speaker 1: I think there's some interesting options. First game I want
Speaker 1: to talk about today, The Oakland Raiders traveled the Tennessee
Speaker 1: to take on the Titans. The Titans are minus one
Speaker 1: and a half favorites over under on this game is
Speaker 1: fifty one. Let me tell you something. The Tennessee Titans
Speaker 1: are strong. Last year, their Achilles Heel was their number
Speaker 1: two cornerback. Okay, other teams number two wide receivers were
Speaker 1: feasting against the Tennessee Titans. Okay. The Titans tried to
Speaker 1: address it by drafting a Dory Jackson, the kid out
Speaker 1: of USC. But I don't know that that's gonna happen. Okay,
Speaker 1: especially rookie cornerbacks. They struggled early on as they try
Speaker 1: to get used to what's going on in the NFL. Okay,
Speaker 1: their heads are inning, and Oakland happens to have one
Speaker 1: of the best second wide receivers in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Michael Crabtree. Michael Crabtree right now in
Speaker 1: on fan duel at least is going at I think
Speaker 1: that's a nice little play. I think the Raiders are
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball. They're gonna get into a match
Speaker 1: up where they're gonna need to throw the ball. I
Speaker 1: don't think this is gonna be a lot of beast
Speaker 1: mode early and often. I think that car and the
Speaker 1: Raiders are going to throw. And I think that while
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan is gonna be on a MARII Cooper, the
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver is gonna eat I like Michael
Speaker 1: Crabtree a lot in this matchup. On the Tennessee side,
Speaker 1: this is one of those teams where I think you
Speaker 1: really need to wait and see. I think you really
Speaker 1: need to wait and see a little bit, okay, because
Speaker 1: there's now a crowded wide receiver group. Is it Eric Decker,
Speaker 1: is it Richard Matthews? Is it the rookie Corey Davis?
Speaker 1: Does Delaney Walker still get targets as well? I kind
Speaker 1: of want to see how the pecking order, you know,
Speaker 1: plays out a little bit in Tennessee. So none of
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna be in my DFS roster unless
Speaker 1: you take them as a kind of you know, dart
Speaker 1: throw play at a good price and you pick the
Speaker 1: right one and that's you know, that's a viable strategy
Speaker 1: in tournaments. But I would watch out, I would you know,
Speaker 1: take a chill pill proverbially on the Tennessee wide receivers,
Speaker 1: but Michael Crabtree is the wide receiver to own week
Speaker 1: one for the Oakland Raiders. The other game I want
Speaker 1: to talk about real quick is the Atlanta Falcons and
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears in Chicago. This is a very interesting line. Okay.
Speaker 1: It started at six and a half, it has gone
Speaker 1: up to seven. At seven. I like the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: I like the home underdog. I like to fade the public.
Speaker 1: So I'm going over to my bookie dot ag right
Speaker 1: now where I can get the Bears plus seven, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it. I'm worried about the Super Bowl hangover.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the loss of Kyle Shanahan. I'm worried
Speaker 1: about this Falcons offense on the road on grass in Chicago.
Speaker 1: They usually don't perform as well away from the turf
Speaker 1: at home. On the Chicago side of things, keep an
Speaker 1: eye on Tarik Cohen. Tarik Cohen is a guy my
Speaker 1: man Emery Hunt shouted out on Lineup Block Live last Sunday.
Speaker 1: I know Jordan Howard many people think is a bell cow,
Speaker 1: and I know they got Benny Cunningham right there as
Speaker 1: the number two back, but Tarik Cohen could be a
Speaker 1: deep sleeper. My man Emory Hunt said, this guy was
Speaker 1: never tackled in college. Okay, could be that kind of
Speaker 1: scatback that the Bears need. So what I'm also telling you,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people think that this Atlanta
Speaker 1: Falcons team is gonna be a contender. I think I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people that think the Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: are not going to be strong. So you put those
Speaker 1: together and you think, up, that's my knockout pick. I
Speaker 1: would pump the brakes on that also as the Atlanta
Speaker 1: Falcons as a knockout pick. I like the Bears plus seven,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if the Chicago Bears are
Speaker 1: that team that comes out and stuns everybody. You know,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be one game where a lot of people
Speaker 1: in their Survivor picks and their knockout pools are all
Speaker 1: on one team and it takes out half the league.
Speaker 1: I'm worried that this could be the trap game. If
Speaker 1: you remember last year on Fantasy Freestyle, we did Fettie
Speaker 1: Wop Wednesdays right where I give you the trap games.
Speaker 1: I think this is one of them. I think that
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears in the Atlanta Falcons is a trap game.
Speaker 1: So don't in your Survivor pools bet the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: But you can go over to www. Dot Fantasy Factor.
Speaker 1: Right now, they had given away free entries to a
Speaker 1: thousand dollar knockout pool. I did it. My knockout pool
Speaker 1: pick is the Houston Texans, not the Atlanta Falcons. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me give you one more game real quick what
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, and then we can get back to
Speaker 1: the calls. In the next segment, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about Philly and Washington. Okay, listen, there is now reports
Speaker 1: that Josh Norman is going to shadow al Shan Jeffrey
Speaker 1: all around. Okay, so listen. I was talking about how
Speaker 1: I like Carson Wentz on DFS Lineup Block, how I
Speaker 1: love the Philadelphia Eagles, and I do. I like Philly
Speaker 1: in this game to go on the road and get
Speaker 1: a win. But with Josh Norman on alshon Jeffrey, you
Speaker 1: may look to look elsewhere to get that guy who's
Speaker 1: gonna pop. I'm gonna tell you the guy I think
Speaker 1: I'm still stacking Carson Wentz and a nice little value
Speaker 1: on fan duel. Carson Wentz is only seventy one hundred.
Speaker 1: I'm not stacking him with the white out. I'm stacking
Speaker 1: him with zach Ertz. Zach Ertz and only fifty D
Speaker 1: on fan duel. I think the Wentz to Earth stack
Speaker 1: and that combo is gonna be live in the middle
Speaker 1: of the field where the Washington Football team does not
Speaker 1: have the coverage linebackers to stay with zach Ertz. That's familiarity,
Speaker 1: and I think Zach Erford gets into the into the
Speaker 1: end zone as well. Carson Wentz to zach Ertz is
Speaker 1: a nice little stack that you can get for cheap
Speaker 1: in Week one? Boy, do I love these Eagles when
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson is there protecting Carson Wentz. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we go back to your calls. I got some more
Speaker 1: Week one matchups fantasy freestyle with your boy, Dame Marketinez.

Speaker 1: Come your Boy, Jane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician holding
Speaker 1: you down on a Wednesday and only like twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to make some decisions on these guys.
Speaker 1: Do you start them? Do you sit them? As the
Speaker 1: world champion New England Patriots hang their banner at Gillette
Speaker 1: as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. I want
Speaker 1: to let you know we also got a pull question
Speaker 1: up on Twitter right at f n T s Y Radio.
Speaker 1: On Twitter, you can always holler at me on Twitter
Speaker 1: at Spitting Speeds whether you're you know, whether the show
Speaker 1: is on or not. You can always follow me, ask
Speaker 1: me questions. I'll try to get back to you if
Speaker 1: you've got those sits start questions. If you got those
Speaker 1: trade questions, holler at your boy at Spitting Speeds on Twitter.
Speaker 1: The pole question we have up is do you agree
Speaker 1: with the NFL decisions around, you know, letting Zeke play
Speaker 1: in week one and having the suspension start week two
Speaker 1: and beyond. Do you agree with the decision to move
Speaker 1: the Dolphins Bucks game to week eleven? Do you think
Speaker 1: they're both through good decisions or do neither one of
Speaker 1: them makes sense? And right now forty one percent of
Speaker 1: you say neither one of them makes sense, So you
Speaker 1: are disputing the NFL. I also think they are not
Speaker 1: handling these things very well. But I digress. We come
Speaker 1: on back and we have more of your calls that
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and get to the segment, and then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you some of more of my previews
Speaker 1: around week one. Remember we're also gonna have CEO of
Speaker 1: DraftKings on the Fantasy Freestyle tomorrow. As we get ready
Speaker 1: for Week one in DFS and Patch chiefs what we
Speaker 1: got right now? Remember a lot of people have been asking,
Speaker 1: first of all, about some of these cults, whether be
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle, whether it be t Y Hilton, and I
Speaker 1: am fading them all. Listen, Scott Tolzein is not good.
Speaker 1: He is like trash. He's blunt, guts trash. Okay, you
Speaker 1: want no part of any of the Colts playmakers. I'm
Speaker 1: talking Dante Moncrief, I'm talking t Y Hilton, I'm talking
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. It looks like the focus is gonna be
Speaker 1: a ton of Frank Gore. Um. I do want to
Speaker 1: go out to the phone, though, Chris Bavona holding you
Speaker 1: down at eight four four eight four three six seven nine.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you've got Cliff and Boston has a
Speaker 1: question about how to handle this hurricane. Irma game, Cliff,
Speaker 1: you're dropping status over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. I
Speaker 1: just hope you're not in Boston on your Apple Watch
Speaker 1: given signs. Hey, let me tell you something, man, not
Speaker 1: at all? Alright, alright, man, love the show, always listening.
Speaker 1: I got a big question. Man, my team's a little
Speaker 1: bit in shambles right now because of the hurricane. I've
Speaker 1: got got Mike Evans it in. I've got Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: I've got Jack Quiz, I got Dante Freeman. I mean, sorry,
Speaker 1: Devonte Parker, because the king so right now at my
Speaker 1: wide out, I've had to Marius Thomas, Kenny Britt and uh,
Speaker 1: Kevin White right now? What are your thoughts on that
Speaker 1: right there? Should I make a move? Should I change?
Speaker 1: I'm kind of iffy right now, and ke Kevin White, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: and thanks for the call. I appreciate the love. And
Speaker 1: thanks to everybody who listens, who watches, who downloads, who tweets.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Trust me, I never thought that everybody
Speaker 1: would be listening to your boy species has betting statistician
Speaker 1: and calling in. I thoroughly appreciate it. Let me ask you,
Speaker 1: though here, to be honest. My response to you, man
Speaker 1: is I would stand Pat. I would stand Pat. Cliff. Listen,
Speaker 1: the guys you mentioned are not horrible when you talk
Speaker 1: about I think it was Kenny Britt. You mentioned Kevin
Speaker 1: White and another actual wide receiver that you're definitely gonna start,
Speaker 1: and your question was really about Kenny Britt and Kevin White. Listen.
Speaker 1: I think I think Kevin White is gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: I think remember because Cam Meredith is gone, they cut
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz, they're gonna be in a game back and
Speaker 1: forth with Atlanta where they're gonna have to put up
Speaker 1: some points. I think Kevin White is gonna be absolutely
Speaker 1: just fine. And the bright side of this, Cliff is
Speaker 1: now you've got Mike Evans and DeVante Parker. They're passed thereby.
Speaker 1: You know they're passed thereby, so you're gonna get them
Speaker 1: sixteen weeks in a row. Okay. So what I think
Speaker 1: you do to be quiet, honest, and I think you
Speaker 1: stand Pat this week I don't think you're gonna get
Speaker 1: people on the wave a wire that are better than
Speaker 1: Kenny Britt, that are better than Kevin White. What you
Speaker 1: might want to do, though, because now you're gonna have
Speaker 1: Devanta Parker, you're gonna have Mike Evans who have both
Speaker 1: are gonna be passed there by. You know what you
Speaker 1: might want to do is after this week, think about
Speaker 1: if you could flip Kenny Britt or flip Kevin White
Speaker 1: and ride with just four whiteouts because two of them
Speaker 1: are already passed thereby. That could be an interesting way
Speaker 1: to handle it. But for this week, I think you're
Speaker 1: okay with the wide receivers that you're gonna run out there.
Speaker 1: And thanks so much for the love of out there
Speaker 1: in Boston. We got a couple more calls. Hey, Bovona,
Speaker 1: let's put on Jake in Arizona. Jake is out there
Speaker 1: in Arizona in the desert. He's got a question about
Speaker 1: his flex play this week. Jake, you're dropping stats over
Speaker 1: beats with the spitting statistician. What's your question on Fantasy Freestyle?
Speaker 1: He um, Actually, it's the flex and RB. Two questions
Speaker 1: I have I have lady on Bell and I had
Speaker 1: j G. I is my RB two, okay, and he's
Speaker 1: going to be out. So, um, who would you start for?
Speaker 1: Because a lot of rookie you're running backs of m
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Kaream Hunt, and then I also
Speaker 1: have Ti Montgomery. So who would you put in for
Speaker 1: your RB two in for your flicks? Because I also
Speaker 1: have p y Hns, but I don't want to play him,
Speaker 1: so I took him out and put Doc Baldiman's my
Speaker 1: receiver to Okay, thanks for the call. I love your
Speaker 1: movie putting in Doug Baldwin right there. Listen, First of all,
Speaker 1: if you've got Levian Belle, you're good to go. You're
Speaker 1: feeling good. Of the guys you named, I'm riding with
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. I'm riding with Dalvin Cook as my RB two.
Speaker 1: And the reason why is, like I said before on
Speaker 1: Monday Night, to play in the Saints. The Saints defense
Speaker 1: is blunt, guts, trash, it is do do. So I
Speaker 1: love any opportunity that I can get someone going against
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. So Dalvin Cook is definitely in
Speaker 1: my lineup. As for the other names you said, I
Speaker 1: think you mentioned McCaffrey, UM, and Kareem Hunt. Okay, out
Speaker 1: of those guys, I'm gonna go with Kareem Hunt. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people love Christian McCaffrey, but I
Speaker 1: like Kareem Hunt out of the two for this week.
Speaker 1: And the reason why is I think that this Panther's
Speaker 1: offense is gonna be very, very interesting in due time.
Speaker 1: If you remember, though, my man Cam Newton. Cam Newton
Speaker 1: has been not healthy for most of the preseason, right Jake,
Speaker 1: So Cam Newton hasn't had that many that much time
Speaker 1: to build that chemistry with Christian McCaffrey. I think McCaffrey
Speaker 1: is gonna be a stud for you later in the season.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to still figure out this new
Speaker 1: offense that they're trying to do for Carolina about getting
Speaker 1: the ball out quicker and protecting Cam. I think it
Speaker 1: might take a little while to get off the ground.
Speaker 1: And I also think for some reason, the San Francisco
Speaker 1: four Day nine has played great Week one of the
Speaker 1: season with some of their new additions on defense. I
Speaker 1: like Christian McCaffrey and he's viable to take a screen
Speaker 1: past seventy five yards and score for you. But given
Speaker 1: the two, I'm definitely having Dalvin Cooks my RB two
Speaker 1: and I'm actually going with Kareem Hunt as my flex
Speaker 1: position there instead of Christian McCaffrey. I want to see
Speaker 1: how he plays out in that offense before I trust him.
Speaker 1: We got one more call. Thank you though for the
Speaker 1: call Jake in Arizona. I appreciate the love. Um, we
Speaker 1: got one more call out there. We got g and Callie.
Speaker 1: He's got a question about his running backs. He's got
Speaker 1: three and can only start to up. Excuse me, sorry
Speaker 1: about that. It sounds like g drop him. Sorry, you
Speaker 1: had to wait a little bit too long to get
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got callers lined up. Gee,
Speaker 1: if you ever want to hit me up at spitting
Speaker 1: speeds on Twitter and I'll try and help you out.
Speaker 1: It sounds like we got um, do we have any
Speaker 1: more calls? It sounds like we have Eddie in Arizona.
Speaker 1: He's got a flex question as well, and Chris is
Speaker 1: Eddie still on the line? All right, we've got Eddie
Speaker 1: in Arizona. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle, man, what's your question? All? Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up man, big fan? I have a flex question?
Speaker 1: The question is UH for should I start Isaiah crow Al,
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder or Eric Decker for my flex uh in
Speaker 1: Tan team vote for point PPR. Alright, fair enough, thanks
Speaker 1: for the call. I appreciate the love. The two running
Speaker 1: backs you mentioned in my opinion are far better than
Speaker 1: the two wide receivers that you mentioned. Okay, so I
Speaker 1: like what you're doing at the running back position. It
Speaker 1: was Bivona helped me out, he said, Baloo Powell. And
Speaker 1: who was the other ring back? He said, regardless. I
Speaker 1: love what you say, all right, but I love Bloo Pow. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think you definitely like. I like balal Poal a
Speaker 1: lot in this offense. He's gonna be getting a ton
Speaker 1: of the opportunity for the Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets. I
Speaker 1: don't think Matt Forte is gonna be on the field much.
Speaker 1: And because you mentioned full point PPR, I love me
Speaker 1: some balal Pow. Balal power is gonna be a threat
Speaker 1: in the receiving game. You know, the Jets have nothing
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. They just signed Jeremy Curly. They also
Speaker 1: just brought in Jermaine Curse. I think balal pal will
Speaker 1: also be able to catch a six seven balls and
Speaker 1: in that PPR format. I like that. I like blow
Speaker 1: Pal in your flex spot. I'm sorry I forgot the
Speaker 1: last other running back you mentioned, but I love me
Speaker 1: some balal Power. And if you're dealing with balal Pow
Speaker 1: in your running backspot, I like him better than Time Montgomery.
Speaker 1: Who is I think someone you named. I love me
Speaker 1: some balal Power Week one against the Bills. I think
Speaker 1: he may even lead the Jets in targets and receptions.
Speaker 1: So I'm going with balal Pal and thanks for the call.
Speaker 1: What I wanna do is I want to get into
Speaker 1: UM one more game, one more game in the early
Speaker 1: games on Sunday. The one game I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about this is Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals game. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm big on this Cincinnati side. I do not think
Speaker 1: that the Baltimore Ravens are a team that is dangerous
Speaker 1: this year at all, neither on their offense or on
Speaker 1: their defense. The big question for Cincinnati, as we mentioned
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, is what happens in this running
Speaker 1: back room. Okay, you have Jeremy's Hill, who's backpracticing, says
Speaker 1: he's uh. They say he's the starter, but you got
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard as well in the passing game. I think
Speaker 1: the real answer is Joe Mixon. I think Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: is the guy that is going to return you value,
Speaker 1: especially this week. Joe Mixon is listed as on FanDuel,
Speaker 1: but even cheaper, he's in the five thousands on DraftKings.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is the guy with the potential to break
Speaker 1: a forty fifty six yard touchdown. Joe Mixon is the
Speaker 1: guy that I hope that they use in the goal line.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is the guy that they want to cultivate,
Speaker 1: that they want to develop, that they want to be
Speaker 1: the stud for the Cincinnati Bengals. I know it is
Speaker 1: a crowded backfield, but I like me some Joe mixing,
Speaker 1: especially in Week one, especially as the guy who could
Speaker 1: you know, have the potential to have the big play
Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Bengals. On the Baltimore side, though, you
Speaker 1: need to fade these running backs. Okay, I don't know
Speaker 1: who the guy is gonna be. I think Terrence West
Speaker 1: is just a guy. You got Danny woodhead back. He
Speaker 1: is back practicing. They say he's gonna be healthy. I
Speaker 1: think that becomes a real big committee. But you don't
Speaker 1: have the upside like you do with a guy like
Speaker 1: Mixing in the Baltimore committee. We're talking in Woodhead, we're
Speaker 1: talking Terrence West. Remember they also, I think, just put
Speaker 1: Jeremy Langford on their practice squad. Okay, the potential for
Speaker 1: a real pop off is Joe Mixon in that game.
Speaker 1: Stay away from the Ravens, especially Joe Flacco just coming back.
Speaker 1: We don't know if he's gonna be really in the flow.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is the guy in that game. When we
Speaker 1: come back, I'm gonna recap a show hard knocks when
Speaker 1: we got a chance. Uh, they didn't have footage of
Speaker 1: Hurricane Irma, but we'll see. It's Day Martinez. Fantasy Freestyle,

Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats right here at the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. On you boy, Dane Martinez speats, it's betting
Speaker 1: statistician holding you down. Thanks to everybody who voted on
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll. Right now, everybody's still thinking either decision
Speaker 1: the NFL has made makes sense, thanks to everybody who called.
Speaker 1: And I'm very excited. Hopefully you're tuning on in tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we're gonna have CEO of DraftKings. Jason Robbins joined
Speaker 1: the cipher right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I got
Speaker 1: time for one more call, and we have Victor in Houston.
Speaker 1: Thank you for holding so much. Victor, you gotta call.
Speaker 1: You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's
Speaker 1: up man? Hey man? Uh? Yeah, So I had t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton and I've been listening to you, and he
Speaker 1: told me to go ahead and bench him. So I'm
Speaker 1: kind of curious who do I fill with My flex
Speaker 1: went ahead and moved Golden Tate into my core white
Speaker 1: uh white out, and so I have like the options
Speaker 1: is Gillis Lee, Coleman Sprawls. He told me no, Moncrease,
Speaker 1: Michael Wallace and Tyroll will So I don't know who
Speaker 1: who was to put him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and here's the thing, here's the thing, And thanks for
Speaker 1: the call, man, I really appreciate it. At some point,
Speaker 1: even though there's a bad quarterback in Scott Tolzine, at
Speaker 1: some point you still gotta ride out t Y Hilton.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Golden Tate, Golden Tate. They're playing the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals and they got Golden Tate, might have Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: on them all day, right, So at some point you
Speaker 1: gotta go with t Y Hilton. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've made that point yet, because you mentioned Tevin Coleman,
Speaker 1: and I think Tevin Coleman might be your option there.
Speaker 1: I think Tevin Coleman is a viable flex in that space.
Speaker 1: I just gotta tell you, though, the Golden Tate in
Speaker 1: in that place. You know Patrick Peterson being on him
Speaker 1: all day, maybe he covers him in like a shadow,
Speaker 1: and your best option is to kind of grin and
Speaker 1: bear it with t Y Hilton, but of those options
Speaker 1: in the flex spot, I like Tevin Coleman. But thank
Speaker 1: you for the call and thanks for holding so long, Victor.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Hope you got your question in and uh,
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman is the answer. But then again, at some
Speaker 1: point you may want to just ride with t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton over Golden Tate. That is a really tough call.
Speaker 1: These guys are ranked number twenty two and twenty four
Speaker 1: and my man Jake Seeley's weekly rankings and I trust
Speaker 1: those Golden Tate with Patrick Peterson on them all day
Speaker 1: could be a problem. I like Tevin Coleman in the
Speaker 1: flex spot for you, Thanks for all the calls, Thanks
Speaker 1: to everybody voting. Tomorrow, Like I said, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: Jason Robbins, the CEO of Draft Kings, on with us,
Speaker 1: and also because it's our last show before football officially
Speaker 1: gets started, I will give you my official division winners,
Speaker 1: conference championships, and my pick to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go on over to my bookie Dot A
Speaker 1: G and put in those future bets. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: the Draft Kings CEO, and we will take your callers.
Speaker 1: One last I wanted to say before we signed off
Speaker 1: for the night. I don't know if you've been watching
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, but they had the season finale, uh yesterday,
Speaker 1: and you know they've been trying to make James Winston
Speaker 1: out to be a leader this entire season, and maybe
Speaker 1: he will be, but I think it was a little forced.
Speaker 1: My m v P of that Hard Knock season, Gerald McCoy,
Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy buying lunch for everybody with the taco trucks,
Speaker 1: bringing the little girl on the field to do the dance,
Speaker 1: getting into it with Ed Hokki Lee asking like, you know,
Speaker 1: what about the eyes if he should get a flag
Speaker 1: doing this little stinky leg or the butterfly. I'm gerald
Speaker 1: McCoy was a natural leader, whereas jamis. It looked a
Speaker 1: little contrived. They looked a little forced, and always you
Speaker 1: know the last episode where they do in the cutdown day.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because this year, remember you go
Speaker 1: from the ninety all the way down to fifty three.
Speaker 1: In years past, they used to be that interim step
Speaker 1: where they go to like seventy five or seventy and
