We are getting into 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.640 week one of the football season. Listen. We got so 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.720 many calls yesterday that I couldn't get through all the games, 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.360 so we are going to continue to break down the 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.000 Week one matchups. What I'm looking for, what you need 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.520 to look for in terms of trends, who to start, 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.400 who to sit, who to fade. I got some survivor 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.199 picks for you. I got some against the spread picks 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.600 for you. We are gonna give you everything you need 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.160 for Week one. We will also take your calls. As 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.120 I said, if you got calls or comments on the 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.199 YouTube stream, we're gonna try and address those as well. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.160 We gotta pull question up as well on Twitter. Okay, 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.320 my question is do you agree pretty much with the 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.160 two main decisions that the NFL has made over the 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.360 last twenty four thirty six hours to impact Week one, 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.680 As you know, is Ezekiel Elliott. First of all, the 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.280 arbitrator Harold Henderson. Because the NFL plays judge, jury and 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.520 appeal judge and executioner, they have decided to uphold the 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:13.160 six game suspension for Ezekiel Elliott. But because of a 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.880 little bit of timing and paperwork and filing, somehow they 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.680 missed the deadline and so Zeke Elliott will still be 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.800 allowed to play in prime time on Sunday Night Football 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.160 against the New York Football Giants and keeping the ratings high, 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.640 keeping their corporate partner NBC happy, M M M, and 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.520 then Ezekiel Elliott will wind up missing six games starting 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.880 in Week two. I think the NFL is crazy like 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.680 a fox, and all of a sudden, the stars aligned 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.480 to make sure that their star players will still be 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.800 there in their prime time window. I'm disgusted by the 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.920 way the NFL has handled this entire Zeke Elliott's situation. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.720 But if you have questions about that how that impacts 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.840 guys like Darren McFadden, for example, or Zeke Elliott himself, 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.000 you can holler at me at eight four four eight 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.959 four three six, eight seven nine, and then also listen. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.200 The NFL came out this morning and said that this 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.320 Buccaneers Dolphins game. We knew yesterday that it wasn't gonna 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.200 happen in Miami, but I thought they were gonna wind 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.960 up moving it to another site. You know, Pittsburgh and 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.040 Philadelphia where the where the places that were really talked about. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.920 There were other places down south like Atlanta, Carolina that 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.520 would have been vacant because their teams are on the road, 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.400 but instead they are moving it to the shared by 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.240 of week eleven that both teams had as a bye week. 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:34.000 I think this has major implications for Week one and 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.360 for the season along outlook on both of these teams. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.320 And it is not a positive, uh, you know, not 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:46.640 a positive you know news for them. They're gonna have 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.120 to play sixteen weeks in a row. I don't think 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.800 that helps. Come on back, we dropped. Since that's over, beats, 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.680 it's a fantasy freeze on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.960 Game one Week one and your calls when we come back, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:04.280 Let's go Quarterback to receiver hook ups, running back depth analysis, 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:09.960 rookie values in domensty leagues, deep sleepers, training camp battles. 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.880 These are just a few of the in depth features 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.200 you will find inside the two thousand seventeen Roto Experts 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.000 dot com Exclusive Edge Fantasy Football Package.

Welcome in you back 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.360 dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle right here 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.960 on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We got a whole 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.000 lot of callers and we gonna get to your calls 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.159 in a second. First, I do want to share some 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.159 news and notes around in the NFL right here as 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.480 we get ready for Week one. Odell Beckham Jr. He 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.720 did not practice today, remember, still nursing that ankle injury 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.240 that he got in that preseason game against the Browns. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.200 He has yet to be cleared, and he came out 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.360 today and there are reports that he is more hopeful 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.960 than confident that he will be able to make it 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.760 happen been play Week one against the Cowboys in that 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.000 Sunday night game. I'm thinking I might have Brandon Marshall 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.000 in my DFS lineups if that's the case. If Oldell 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.480 Beckham is not able to go, he probably will, though, 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.760 remember he still got a few more days to test 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.240 out that ankle. Jeremy Hill did practice also with an 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.880 ankle injury. That creates a kind of three Headed Monster 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.240 in the Cincinnati backfield, Jeremy Hill, Giovanni Bernard, and the 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.479 rookie Joe Mixon. So, uh, we'll see if any of 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.800 those guys emerge, or if it's smart to kind of 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.560 wait and see how the roles clarify. In Cincinnati, da 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.720 Marius Thomas, he has returned to practice noticing that groin injury. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.880 It looks like he'll be good to go Monday Night 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.320 football as Denver Bronco's take on the Los Angeles not 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.640 San Diego Superchargers in Baltimore, it looks like all these 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.960 guys are ready to go. Okay, Joe Flacco has been cleared. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.280 He's ready for Week one coming off that back injury. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.560 Danny Woodhead is back at practice coming off the hamstring. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.320 Jeremy Macklin practicing in full as well, coming off that 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.960 foot injury. In Buffalo, it seems like people are gonna 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.040 be ready to go as well. We know Tyrod Taylor 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.440 Team mobile is gonna start. You can add Jordan Matthews 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.200 to the list of guys on the Bills who will 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.960 be ready to go Week one against the New York 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.039 Jets Jets. Jets Jets in Seattle, though, it's not as 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.000 clear in Seattle. The Seahawks are going to be in 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.599 Green Bay at Lambo Field, taken on the Packers, and 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.320 what is the game of the week in the A 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.880 in the like late game set and listen, Thomas Rawls 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.040 is now they're saying it's a high ankle sprain. He's 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.280 gonna be listed as questionable. However, c J prosise their 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.119 pass catching back. They say he is a hundred percent. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.919 He's ahead of Rawls in that recovery and Eddie Lacey 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.039 maybe in store for a revenge factor kind of big 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.920 game as he comes back to battle his former team, 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.880 the Green Bay Packers. I talked a little bit about 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.960 how the NFL decided to uh move this Bucks Dolphins 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.560 game to Week eleven, and there's big impacts. I mean, 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.240 you drafted Mike Evans maybe in the first round, and 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.600 now he's not there for you. You know, you drafted J. A. G. I. E. 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.320 Early and now he's not there for you. Okay, I 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.360 think this is not only does this has implications for fantasy. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.680 You're obviously gonna have to, you know, like do some 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.120 of your bench guys. And now the bright side is 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.880 at least this is their bye week. They're gonna be 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.680 out there sixteen weeks in a row for you for 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.480 the rest of the season. But I think this has 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.440 an impact, especially on the Tampa Bay Bucks. A lot 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.680 of people like Tampa Bay to do work in that 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.240 NFC self division. I don't know if a young team 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.560 without the opportunity to have a buy you know, is 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.440 um something that you should be on. Okay, I think 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.720 the dog days of the season, the war of attrition 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.240 that it is. You like them having that late week 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.680 eleven by when they don't have that anymore, they don't 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.480 have that opportunity to you know, self scout and get better. Listen, 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:06.040 the Tampa Bay Bucks were four to one choice to 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.119 win the NFC South and they were a sexy pick. Okay, 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.720 A lot of people were talking about the Bucks. I 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.360 know my man Corey Parson, the fantasy executives that I'm 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.800 talking with on Sundays, he was on the Bucks to 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.400 win that NFC South. He went over to my bookie 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.119 dot a g G at plus three hundred. He dropped 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.680 a couple of shekels. Whether it's the Bucks or another team, 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.840 you should go over to my bookie dot AG right now. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.680 They give you a hundred percent match bonus if when 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.480 you enter, you enter the promo code freestyle tell him 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.680 Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician sent you. I think 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.880 that's a problem. Also, the Miami Dolphins, they have a 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.040 London game in Week four. They were supposed to they 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.840 were the home team for a London game, So maybe 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.440 that's part of the reason why they didn't want to 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.240 deprive the Dolphins fans out of another kind of home 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.679 date that is ultimately not played down in South Florida. 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.680 But I think this is a problem for both the teams. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.160 So if you have you know, if you have a 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.120 DeVante Park or a Jarvis Landry, a j A gi 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.839 a Pop Quiz Jock Quiz Rogers and Mike Evans and 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.760 DeShawn Jackson and Jameis Winston, and you want to know, 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.960 how do we replace that? Holler boy, Dame Martinez at 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.800 eight four four, eight four, three six, eight seven nine, 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.760 and we'll talk you through it. Okay, I'm gonna be 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.719 talking through these Week one matchups. But it looks like 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.800 we have a ton of calls. Chris Bovona, we got 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.960 a ton of calls. Let's get to some of them. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.560 The first one is Manny in Callie. Is that right? 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.199 If we still got Manny and Kelly? You're dropping stats 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:34.200 over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with Dame Martinez. What's up, Manny? Hey, 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.160 I'm calling in because I'm gonna Standard League. I got 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.439 t Y he's supposed to play, but then on the bench, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:45.320 I got Emmanuel Standards, I got the Pyrcle song and 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.200 uh Adam filling for. I wanted to see who should 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.640 I play? Yeah, Adam Feeling is the other guy. Yeah, 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.400 I listen. T Y Hilton. I've been telling everybody that 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.480 t Y Hilton is a full gaze someone you need 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.640 to fade, something you need to forget about, because you know, 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.160 without Andrew Luck there the drop down the Scott Tolzine 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.000 is big. You're talking about some other wide receivers though, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.080 that are right in the same area in terms of 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.640 Week one rankings. Pierre Garson, you talk about Manny Sanders. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.680 I like both of those guys over t Y Hilton 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.160 if need be. And the sounds like the last guy 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:21.040 you mentioned was Adam Feeling. Adam Feeling going Monday Night 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.480 football against the New Orleans Saints. The Stints have a 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.200 horrible past defense, and I don't think that's gonna change 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.080 at all. So yeah, I would start all three of 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:33.000 those guys over t Y Hilton Garson, Manny Sanders and 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.520 Adam Feeland. I'm taking a wait and see approach with 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.960 the Indianapolis Colts. I don't think they're gonna do much 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.400 against Los Angeles with Scott Tolzine under center for the 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.560 Colts Week one. Heyo, thanks for the call, though it 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.240 sounds like we got another call Chris John and Colorado 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.640 has a question about a flex option some running backs 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:58.360 to put Jeff and Colorado. My bad, you're on the 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:03.080 Fantasy Freestyle. What's up with your question? Yeah? Um, I 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.360 was just watering who should I start as a flex 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.400 option for either? Um? I have Mike Gillislei on my bench, 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:16.320 um and um I also have Joe Mixon and Pure Garcel. Okay, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.520 And this is a flexibi. Is this a PPR league? Yeah, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.720 it's a ten man PPR. Okay, So because it's PPR, 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.880 I'm gonna stray away from Mike Gillieslei. Okay. Mike Gillieslei 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.320 for the Patriots is gonna be that back that is 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.480 not necessarily the pass catcher. Okay, the pass catching back 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.800 is Dion Lewis is James White, And I don't think 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.920 Gilleslei is gonna give you that kind of production. I 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.160 like the other option better, and you talked about it, 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.680 Joe Mixing, and I like Joe Mixon. This is a 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.520 kid dripping with upside. I talked about it on the 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.080 DFS Lineup Block Show with Tony Sencada before we talked 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.160 about how Joe Mixon, even though it is a crowded backfield, 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.320 Mixing has shown to be a guy who had the skill, 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.000 maybe the best in that running back room. Jeremy, don't don't, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.240 don't worry. Don't worry, Jeff. Even if you know you 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.520 get news that Jeremy Hill is going to get the start, 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.800 I still think Joe Mixing is the guy. I think 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.400 he's gonna pop off and have a great debut Week 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.200 one against the Baltimore Ravens. So thank you for the 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.920 call in Colorado. I appreciate you joining the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.280 All right, it sounds like we got another question. We 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.679 got calls up the ying Yang. If you want to 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.080 holler at your boy, call him. And now, like I was, 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.800 miss Cleo at eight four four, eight, four, three, six, 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.559 eight seven nine. We're taking your calls all this segment. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.360 It looks like Justin in New York has a question 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.160 about his flex spot eight. Justin, you're on the Fantasy 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:40.719 Freestyle with speed. What's up? Hey, what's up? Man? I'm 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.160 calling because I'm in a little bit of a quarterback conundrum. Okay, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.360 I don't know if I should start Alex Smith tomorrow 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:54.560 night or Philip Rivers on Monday. Okay, that isn't interesting. 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.440 That is a little bit of a conundrum. And part 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.360 of the reason I think you're you might be asking 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.280 as Philip Rivers. I love Philip Rivers, to be quite honest. Okay, 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.800 I love Philip Rivers in general ahead of Alex Smith. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.920 The problem is his opponent on Monday night is Denver, 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.480 and Denver has the absolute best secondary, you know, the 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.840 best secondary out there, okay, and so that can stifle 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.240 the passing game. And I understand your concern. However, Alex 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.760 Smith does not move the needle for me. I do 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.480 not recommend Alex Smith, especially on the road in New England, 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.840 in a game where you know the crowd is gonna 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.880 be jacked up. As they hang the banner. I know 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.199 you might think, hey, well, if they're behind, maybe they 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.200 throw the ball a little bit more. That is not 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.360 Alex Smith's game. Okay. He is a dink and dunk guy, 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.120 even when they're down, even when they're supposed to try 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.840 to stretch the field, Alex Smith is allergic to the 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.720 deep ball. I don't care if you're going up against 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.640 that great Denver Broncos defense. I think Philip Rivers. He 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.440 might not go to the wide receivers, but he can 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.120 still go to Antonio Gates, Hunter Henry and Melvin Gordon 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.719 and out of the backfield. I like Philip Rivers in 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.680 that situation. Alright, So my pick out of the two, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.240 I'm not going with Alex Smith justin. I'm going with 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.880 Philip Rivers. You can call back next week and thank me, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.880 my friend. It sounds like we've got time for one 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.360 more caller in this In this segment, we got Chris 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.120 in Arizona. Chris and Arizona. He also has a flex question. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.880 You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:21.200 What's your question? Man? Hey, Dan, I got right, Mare. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.720 I currently have Jeremy Macklin in my flex spot, but 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.680 I have Adam Feeling on the bench, and I'm really 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.480 concerned because Maclin has no reps really except for this 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.600 week with Flacco, and I wanted to see what you thought. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.040 Who should I start? Yeah, yeah, I'm I like your thinking, man, 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.040 I like your thinking when faced with Macklin versus Adam Feeling. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.280 I'm going with Adam Feeling for two main reasons. Okay. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.600 First of all, Adam Feeling and the and the Vikings 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.800 on Monday Night are at home and they're taking on 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.240 the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans Saints pass defense is trash. Okay, 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.960 it is straight do do just like the emoji. So 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.200 I like attacking that bad defense. And then you mentioned 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.880 it yourself, je me. Macklin has not gotten in reps 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.960 with the new quarterback for him, Joe Flacco that has 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.880 that chemistry has not built yet, So I like in 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.120 that situation. I like Adam Feeling as the pick. When 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.600 we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, will take some 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.480 more of your calls and I'm gonna preview some more 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.040 Week one matchup. Tell you what I'm thinking. When we 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.560 come back. It's your boy, Dame Martinez.

We're gonna 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.640 get to some of them in this segment. I also 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.280 want to tell you I'm very excited because tomorrow, at 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.680 this time, right before the Pats and the Chiefs kickoff, 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.880 we're going to have a special interview. We're gonna have 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.240 Jason Robbins on with us. He is the CEO of 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.520 Draft Kings. I know, if you feel like Dandy Fantasy, 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.400 you know about Draft Kings. We're gonna have Jason Robbins, 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.600 he's the CEO of the company. We're gonna ask him 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.200 about some of the things he's doing this year at 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.640 Draft Kings, some of the new contests they're having, and 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.440 some of the you know, spike in business that happens 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.040 with the NFL season. I'm real excited about that. I'm 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.920 gonna take a couple of calls in this segment that 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.040 we're gonna go into previewing some of the games. We'll 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.200 be back on the phones taking your calls. Towards the 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.240 end of the show. We got Jacob in Texas who's 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.840 been on hold for a little while. Jake, Uh, you 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.120 gotta trade? Do you want to get the spitting statisticians 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.439 advice on Jacob? You dropping stats over beats on the 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:12.080 Fantasy Freestyle? What's your trade? Manum, Hey guys, no, it's 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.840 not actually a trade. Um. You know, I had Todd 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.680 Gurley this year and I was just wanting me if 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.639 he's ready for that breakout year. Um. Another thing is 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.080 I have do I have to be worried about the 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:29.080 Rob Kelly p p ryns Um maybe touches later on 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.919 and um sort one last one would be yes or no. 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.600 Do you think Josh Gordon would get reinstated this month? 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.160 And is he worth picking up? All right, fair enough, 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.200 thanks for the questions. We've got three of them in there. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.080 From Jacob in Texas. Let me go, let me go 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.960 in reverse order. Okay. First of all, Josh Gordon, No, 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.280 I do not think he will be reinstated. I think 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.080 you're wasting any kind of roster spot if you have him. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.240 You know for years people who have been thinking, oh, 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.199 this is when Josh Gordon is gonna come back. No 0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.879 is my short answer to that. Do not worry ab 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.520 out Josh Gordon. Secondly, you asked about the running back 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.800 situation in Washington. If you gotta worry about Rob Kelly, 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.600 I think you do, but not necessarily because of the 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.320 reason you mentioned. If you have Rob Kelly like woe 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.640 fat Rob. Yes, I do think some a G. P. Ryan, 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.159 the rookie out of Oklahoma is going to grow in 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.720 his production and grow in his touches as the season 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.240 goes along. But another reason to fade Rob Kelly, in 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.679 my opinion, is the existence of Chris Thompson. Chris Thompson, 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.679 who they just resigned to a two year six and 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.600 a half million guaranteed deal. He is the past catching 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.480 back when they are in the kind of two minute, 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.679 no huddle shotgun and with the Washington football team, that 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.560 is a lot. Okay, Kirk Cousins throws the ball a lot, 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.080 and they like having Chris Thompson on the field when 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.000 they're in there kind of to four minute drill. And 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.560 I think they're gonna be operating that way down in 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.879 games a lot this year. I do not think the 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.520 Washington Football team is gonna be in many games. I 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.840 think they're gonna be behind and throwing the ball. So 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.479 I'm worried about Chris Thompson and what will be an 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.879 emerging Soma G. P Ryan at the end of the season. 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.840 So yes, I would look to do something with fat 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.280 Rob Kelly. The third question that you asked was really 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.280 the first question out of your mouth on the call, 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.159 and it was about Todd Gurley. I like Todd Gurley 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.159 as a bounce back candidate this year. Okay, yes, he 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.320 was stifled, but last year the Rams did not have weapons. 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:19.879 I've been saying a lot on Fantasy Freestyle. Opponents were 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.840 putting all fifty three men in the box to try 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.600 to stop Todd Gurley, but you can't necessarily do that. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:29.040 This year. You got Sammy Watkins on one side, you 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.800 got you know, you got Robert Wood, you got Cooper Cup, 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.600 you having you know, you have Jared Goff getting better 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.760 in year two under that new scheme with the head 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.760 coach Sean McVeigh. So I do think that space opens 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.359 up for Gurley and he has a much better sophomore 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.359 campaign than last year in his rookie season. Thanks for 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.920 the call, Jacob in Texas. We're gonna take one more 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.159 call because then I gotta get into some of my previews. 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.760 We got Taco in Alabama. Taco, you were with us 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.440 earlier this week and you're calling back. You are once 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.879 again dropping stats over beats with speeds to spin statistician. 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:04.720 How's it going, Taco man? I'm good, just cracked a 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.560 beer open. How are you? You're doing better than I am? Man, 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.359 I'm doing all right. I'll be all right when I 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.720 get home, though. What's what's your question? Man? It seems 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:16.280 like you're struggling with THEO Riddick. Oh yeah, I have 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.520 actually have some questions. First off, let me let me 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.280 creface this, but I'm not hurting it running back my 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:28.000 starters this week, or David Johnson, Zeke and Cream Hunt. 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.800 You are not hurting it running back. That is absolutely correct, 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:37.959 all right. But I've got three three wide receivers on 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.560 my bench that I'm not sure about, and THEO Riddick 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.840 is out there, and so is Chris Johnson, you know, 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.040 ready to pick up. I have Kevin White, Dante mon Creep, 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.639 and Zay Jones. And I'm wondering which one of those 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.720 three would you drop to pick up either Riddick or Johnson. 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.840 So here's the thing, you know, I think, to be 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.600
