Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Freestyle, locked loaded, ready to go. Train knocks, Dilly, Dilly,
Speaker 1: big timer, you are absolutely right. I am overjoyed to
Speaker 1: see right now how many of y'all are still in
Speaker 1: the chat room, still down with the cipher, still talking
Speaker 1: to each other. And I know, my man Jeremy McMahon,
Speaker 1: I see how you're passing the time. I am mad
Speaker 1: at you, my friend Dilly Dilley as well, Orgey. Glad
Speaker 1: to see you guys as well, Mike LaSIE, all of
Speaker 1: y'all out there. Let's go. All right, it's about to
Speaker 1: get ugly up in here. Give me your you know,
Speaker 1: give me your questions, all right, give me your questions.
Speaker 1: I'll do what we can. Let's get into it right now.
Speaker 1: I gotta give you news and notes since last week
Speaker 1: spoke okay, and it started on Friday. A lot of
Speaker 1: people who are forgetting about Thursday night football. A lot
Speaker 1: of people are forgetting about the injury that happened there.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon had his knee scoped. He's gonna miss They
Speaker 1: said two weeks, then they said two to four weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm not optimistic about
Speaker 1: bro mixing. Okay, and here's why. Sony Michelle had that
Speaker 1: same procedure done right before the first week of the preseason.
Speaker 1: He missed all four weeks of the preseason and the
Speaker 1: season opener, right, and they're like working him in in
Speaker 1: the sixth week. Okay. I heard two to four weeks.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be more like four or five.
Speaker 1: So when we get to those uh, you know those
Speaker 1: running back waiver claims, you know, my boy Giovanni Bernard
Speaker 1: is going to be real high up on there. And
Speaker 1: then a ton of people asking me Josh Gordon, Josh Gordon,
Speaker 1: what's up with Josh Gordon? Well, yep, he got traded
Speaker 1: to the New England Patriots for a fifth round pick.
Speaker 1: Here's what I gotta say about a ton of people,
Speaker 1: um talking to me about Josh Gordon to the Patriots,
Speaker 1: And the thing is everybody is so excited. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady throwing to Josh Gordon. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: like Randy Moss. Slowdown, okay, Um, yeah, Josh gordons a
Speaker 1: great talent. Yeah, he had that big year that was
Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen. This is two thousand eighteen, since then,
Speaker 1: his career has stopped started. He hasn't been able to
Speaker 1: get going. I don't know if in the structure and
Speaker 1: the regiment of the New England Patriots he'll be able to.
Speaker 1: But I do not bump Chris Hogan down. I do
Speaker 1: not bump James White down. I do not bump Rob
Speaker 1: Gronkowski down down. If anything, this is like a cherry
Speaker 1: on top. Okay, I don't know that it's gonna have
Speaker 1: a big implication. What I think the implications are on
Speaker 1: the other side of things for the Cleveland Browns, Okay,
Speaker 1: And it's not gonna be where you think. Alright, everyone
Speaker 1: talks about Jarvis Landry juice. Is he gonna bless him
Speaker 1: right now without Josh Gordon? And that might be, But
Speaker 1: I'm now wondering about the past catchers underneath him. I'm
Speaker 1: wondering about the opportunity this means for David the and
Speaker 1: jok wu is on you. I wonder this means for
Speaker 1: the rookie out of Florida, Antonio Callaway. I think that's interesting.
Speaker 1: And don't sleep on Rochard Higgins either. Okay, Higgins is
Speaker 1: more of this on a chain mover, more of a
Speaker 1: dependable kind of guy. Callaway is gonna be that boom
Speaker 1: or bus best ball kind of guy. Don't sleep on
Speaker 1: Rashad Higgins, all right, That's what I'm gonna say in
Speaker 1: order to fill some of this because especially remember Jervis
Speaker 1: Landry is also limited in practice, al right, because they
Speaker 1: got Thursday Night football this week at home against the
Speaker 1: j E T S Jets, Jets, Jets. Remember I told
Speaker 1: you that story about the blood Life freezers being unlocked
Speaker 1: whenever the Browns win a game. Maybe you need to
Speaker 1: be near one of those bars on Thursday night when
Speaker 1: we're doing this show, all right, because you know I
Speaker 1: like the home teams on Thursday Night football. Also, listen,
Speaker 1: there were some injuries, not a bad injury week, though
Speaker 1: not a ton of injuries on Sunday. You know, a
Speaker 1: lot of weeks we are talking about the infirmary report
Speaker 1: and it's like everyone is losing their season. Not so much. Okay,
Speaker 1: we had Shady McCoy um broken. They said it was
Speaker 1: broken ribs. It's really broken rib cartilage, which is apparently
Speaker 1: a different thing. I'm gonna talk to Dr A on
Speaker 1: Inside Injuries about that. Here's my thing with la Shawn
Speaker 1: McCoy No, I don't want, you know, Chris Ivory or
Speaker 1: whatever it is, because why they're at Minnesota this week? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Why do I want a running back on the road
Speaker 1: at Minnesota. If I'm the Bills, I tell Shady rest up,
Speaker 1: come on back in week four. That's the way I
Speaker 1: think it should go. Will it go that way? I
Speaker 1: don't know. But whoever is next man up in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: don't spend the waiver of money, the waiver fab on
Speaker 1: it because they are on the road at Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: then Shady's gonna come back in a week or two.
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald little gimpy after his exit with a hamstring.
Speaker 1: Think he'll be okay. There's talk though about David Johnson
Speaker 1: getting some work in the slot, that they need to
Speaker 1: work more with David Johnson. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: been asking me, Hey, you worried about David Johnson, Hey
Speaker 1: you worried about David Johnson. I told y'all going into
Speaker 1: the season that out of the big four, the one
Speaker 1: that I had the least faith in to to be
Speaker 1: a top four and I said he could finish outside
Speaker 1: the top ten running backs, was David Johnson. I said
Speaker 1: he was the injury history I said there was a
Speaker 1: new head coach. I said there was a new quarterback.
Speaker 1: Hopefully do listen to the stats overbeat cipher. I was,
Speaker 1: I was even putting See Kuan ahead of David Johnson
Speaker 1: going into this. But you don't trade. You don't drop him,
Speaker 1: you don't even trade him. You hold, okay. Unfortunately, there
Speaker 1: are a number of examples at this point in the
Speaker 1: season where people have been defecating the mattress for weeks
Speaker 1: on end. You just got to hold him. Why what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Drop David Johnson. You can't do that.
Speaker 1: And then here's the thing. When you try to trade
Speaker 1: David Johnson, you're not gonna get full value back for him.
Speaker 1: If you're okay selling David Johnson for sixty cents on
Speaker 1: the dollar, go right ahead. I'm not okay with that.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna wait and see how it happens. And
Speaker 1: maybe I have an RB two on my hands, but
Speaker 1: I'm holding with David Johnson. And that's how it related
Speaker 1: to the Larry Fitzgerald hamstring injury. A lot of you
Speaker 1: guys got banged out by kickers last week. I know,
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about how fantasy and in kickers
Speaker 1: because in fantasy are not really a part of it.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be a part of it. Listen, if you
Speaker 1: had Zane Gonzalez, if you had Carlson, if you had
Speaker 1: Greg's urline, right, you probably really got screwed. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that a little bit more when we talked about
Speaker 1: my Game of Inches. Some good nominees there as well.
Speaker 1: And then you must have seen this already, but Bill's
Speaker 1: cornerback Vante Davis retired at halftime like he up and
Speaker 1: left at halftime. That's unprofessional. Vonte Davis fo crazy. Another
Speaker 1: thing I want to let you guys know, three running
Speaker 1: backs in Week one had thirteen or more catches, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what. I believe all of them
Speaker 1: are sustainable. Chris Thompson had thirteen catches, okay, and that's
Speaker 1: because Alex Smith. They got no faith in these wide receivers,
Speaker 1: specifically Dotson and Paul Richardson. If you're a Dotson owner,
Speaker 1: if you're a Paul Richardson owner, I'm worried if you're
Speaker 1: one of thom if you own one of those guys,
Speaker 1: Crowder a little less so because he might be that
Speaker 1: you know, slot intermediate guy, anyway. But if you have
Speaker 1: one of these outside receivers from Washington, I was already
Speaker 1: talent you. Oh, Alex Smith is a checkdown Charlie. Anyway.
Speaker 1: And here's what happened. Washington went out and signed Michael
Speaker 1: Floyd and Brichard Perriman. Okay, after workouts earlier this week.
Speaker 1: To me, that signals they are not happy with what
Speaker 1: they have at the outside wide receiver position. If I
Speaker 1: was a Dotson owner, if I was a Richardson owner,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, fool gazy, I might need to
Speaker 1: forget about them, Okay. And when I say that, don't
Speaker 1: drop them. Hold him on your bench for And now
Speaker 1: I think Thompson, I think that is sustainable. Barkley, he
Speaker 1: had fourteen catches in the Sunday night football game against Dallas.
Speaker 1: That's a ridiculous number. But here's something that may make
Speaker 1: it sustainable. The Giants lost their center in that game.
Speaker 1: John Hallapayo broke his ankle. He's out for the year. Okay.
Speaker 1: The Giants offensive line was not one to write home
Speaker 1: about in the first place. Okay. No, I'm not really
Speaker 1: concerned about Odell. He'll still get his But you know,
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, you may need to be worried because if
Speaker 1: this pressure is hum and he's gonna Elie is gonna
Speaker 1: get the ball out quick, and that is more for
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley. The third running back that had over
Speaker 1: a dozen catches was Christian McCaffrey. I told you about
Speaker 1: guys going into the season, I said he in PPR formats,
Speaker 1: this guy is an RB one. If you can get
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey for David Johnson, do it. If you can
Speaker 1: get Christian McCaffrey Avian Bell, do it. If you can
Speaker 1: get Christian McCaffrey for James Conner, do it right now.
Speaker 1: In PPR formats, Christian McCaffrey is a sustainable, locked and
Speaker 1: loaded RB one. He's gonna get these kind of fourteen
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna get fourteen catches again,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna get a ton of targets. We do
Speaker 1: know that Carson Wentz is gonna be back in the
Speaker 1: saddle this week. It looks like for the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: all right. I think this is great news for the
Speaker 1: Eagles offense, specifically Nelson Aglare, specifically Zach Ertz. Arts had
Speaker 1: a great game in Week two, eleven catches for ninety yards. Oh, Agalore.
Speaker 1: You know we're seeing that the depth of target. Remember
Speaker 1: in week one something like eight catches for thirty three yards. Right, So,
Speaker 1: like with Carson Wentz, I think that's what's gonna change
Speaker 1: and all the more. Listen, it's gonna be Agalore, It's
Speaker 1: gonna be Art's why Mike Wallace fractured his fibula, He's
Speaker 1: gonna be out for a while, and he might, you know,
Speaker 1: be an I R candidate. Alshon Jeffrey is still week tweek.
Speaker 1: He's progressing a little bit, doing more individual practice that
Speaker 1: sort of thing, but he ain't ready yet. Mc collins
Speaker 1: already on I R. So now it's gonna be Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz in the saddle with Art's and a galore. I
Speaker 1: like those guys moving forward. I told you about the
Speaker 1: Giants center another offensive line, big time injury. Jaguars left
Speaker 1: tackle Cam Robinson tore his a c L. He will
Speaker 1: miss the rest of the year. Last thing that I'm
Speaker 1: getting a lot of questions about, a lot of tweets
Speaker 1: on is the Pittsburgh Stealers. We heard about Levan Bell.
Speaker 1: You know about that an Tonio Brown, though you know,
Speaker 1: talking about trade me to find out, like with trigger Twell,
Speaker 1: Twitter troll les right, not showing up to practice on Monday.
Speaker 1: Apparently Steelers skill position players are just like, nah, we're
Speaker 1: talking about practice and we don't have to actually go.
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely ridiculous. Antonio Brown Levy on Bell.
Speaker 1: The question to me is, you know, my question is like,
Speaker 1: you know, is Mike Tomlin losing the locker room? You
Speaker 1: know these things are starting to unravel, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: And I'm a little bit worried about that. Willie Cheney
Speaker 1: saying the Washington football teams catchers are only Thompson and Read.
Speaker 1: I would hang tight with Jamison Crowder as well, but
Speaker 1: You're right, there is different and definitely an issue. Strong style,
Speaker 1: don't sweat Antonio Brown is fine, Okay, I think it's
Speaker 1: fine as well. What I'm telling everybody is, you know,
Speaker 1: and I hear it on Twitter. Everyone's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what do I dud do I bench Antonio Brown? No,
Speaker 1: you don't. We are in the part of the season
Speaker 1: where everybody wants like a quick fix or an answer
Speaker 1: or a silver bullet, know um, to like fix their
Speaker 1: team magically, and that's not what's gonna happen. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: just not what is going to happen? New money. Do
Speaker 1: I drop Brandon Marshall for Chris Godwin or DeShawn Jackson.
Speaker 1: I like Godwin better than DeShawn Jackson. DeShawn Jackson against
Speaker 1: the Eagles had the best game that he's probably gonna
Speaker 1: have all year. He always loves that revenge game against
Speaker 1: the Eagles. That's why going into the season we talk
Speaker 1: about DeShawn Jackson as a best ball kind of guy.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have some weeks where he pops off. Week
Speaker 1: two is one of them. But if you can figure
Speaker 1: out which one it is, I gotta sports Almanac for you,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? What's going on with Freeman?
Speaker 1: That can only be DeVante Freeman. Yeah, he's got a
Speaker 1: knee issue. He's got banged up in the head. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be Tevin Coleman for a while. All Right,
Speaker 1: Devanta Freeman is going to mix a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, was that someone was asking also about Royce Freeman.
Speaker 1: That's one that's interesting, Right, everyone's on this, Philip Lindsay, right, Um,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Lindsay and Freeman. I think
Speaker 1: Freeman is gonna wind up being the early down guy,
Speaker 1: and I think uh Lindsay is gonna be more of
Speaker 1: this PPR kind of guy. All right. So that's that's
Speaker 1: where we're at on that. Thanks to my man Danny
Speaker 1: Otto down there, thanks to my man Yang, thanks to
Speaker 1: my intern Brian the Cowboy out there, they're hitting us
Speaker 1: up okay, and thanks to the status over beat Cipher
Speaker 1: for holding us down here. I know we got a
Speaker 1: late start, but thanks for hanging on in there. We
Speaker 1: are still gonna tell you what I got right, what
Speaker 1: I got wrong. We're still gonna give you our waiver wires.
Speaker 1: And then in our third segment, when we put the
Speaker 1: fun and functional sports content, I got a surprise for you,
Speaker 1: and you may even be able to call the show
Speaker 1: at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.
Speaker 1: They're working on that as well. All right. So here's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We got a couple of minutes,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna start talking about what I got right,
Speaker 1: and then when we come back when we can talk
Speaker 1: about what I got wrong, and we'll also dive on
Speaker 1: in to these waiver wire ads. I appreciate everybody sticking
Speaker 1: with me. Here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. What I got right. I've been telling
Speaker 1: you all about Patty Mahomes. Ask my homes, yo, I've
Speaker 1: been telling about you for weeks. I said that this
Speaker 1: Andy Reid offense is gonna use the new toy that
Speaker 1: they have. I told you that Patty Mahomes was perfect
Speaker 1: for this scheme to play a little big twelve football.
Speaker 1: And what does he do. He turns around with twenty
Speaker 1: three three hundred and twenty six yards, six touchdowns and
Speaker 1: no picks. Here's the thing, he had more touchdowns and incompletions.
Speaker 1: Here's what else I got right though. I also told
Speaker 1: you to stack people against Kansas City all year long.
Speaker 1: I told you these are gonna be a renal league shootouts,
Speaker 1: and the game against Pittsburgh was no different. Big Ben
Speaker 1: put it up sixty times and had four hundred fifty
Speaker 1: two yards and three touchdowns on his own. Remember Week one,
Speaker 1: Philip rivers with four hundred twenty plus yards. I used
Speaker 1: that number four twenty specifically. Um So I'm telling you
Speaker 1: that I think it's going to be the case every
Speaker 1: single week the Chief's offense is gonna average thirty some
Speaker 1: odd points. The Chiefs defense is going to give up
Speaker 1: thirty point to game, Okay, so you want people there.
Speaker 1: I'd also told you about Watson and I was worried
Speaker 1: about some regression. I was worried about that offensive line.
Speaker 1: I was worried about the Texans. They're now Owen two.
Speaker 1: I told you about this there, Owen too. Watson is
Speaker 1: a little erratic. The stats might be there in the end.
Speaker 1: They certainly were for Will Fuller, they certainly were for
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and Watson himself. Listen, three ten yards, two
Speaker 1: touchdowns along with forty four rushing yards is not bad.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you it looks like he's regressing from
Speaker 1: last year. And I'm worried about that offensive line. I
Speaker 1: think the fantasy goodness might be there, but the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans actual NFL goodness may not be. Matt Brita, I
Speaker 1: told you about that. I like Matt Breeda over Alfred
Speaker 1: Morris in this scheme, and the Detroit Lions are continuing
Speaker 1: to get gashed left and right in the run game.
Speaker 1: We saw the Jets do it week one, and now
Speaker 1: San Francisco did it week to. Breeda finishes with a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight yards on the ground and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: This on eleven carries. Okay, this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: The Detroit run defense is giving up big chunk plays.
Speaker 1: I will say this right now. Who do they face Detroit?
Speaker 1: That is this week? The New England Patriots on I
Speaker 1: believe it's Sunday Night football. Here's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: Here's what I think happens there. I think it's time
Speaker 1: for Sony Michelle to announce himself, Michelle my Bell. I
Speaker 1: think Sunday Night is, you know, the announcement that Sony
Speaker 1: Michelle is the big time running back for the New
Speaker 1: England Patriots. I think Michelle will gash Detroit on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You know, Burkehead didn't really get in the mix. I
Speaker 1: think this is when Sony Michelle pops off. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people were asking about that, but I've
Speaker 1: been right on the Lions, and I've also been right
Speaker 1: about their wide receiver who I want a part of,
Speaker 1: and it's Golladay. Is it would be so nice Gola
Speaker 1: day in Goladays. Six catches, eighty nine yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I expect that to continue. What else I out right
Speaker 1: los Angeles Rams dear a beast. I don't really know
Speaker 1: what's more impressive their offense or their defense at this point.
Speaker 1: You know, Jared Goff had a day three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty four yards. You know Cooks and I told you
Speaker 1: about the fantasy herd, right, it was like Cup in
Speaker 1: week one. I was like, don't get it twisted. It
Speaker 1: might be Woods or it might be Cooks. This week
Speaker 1: Cook seven nine, he pops off Cup with sixty three
Speaker 1: yards Woods with eighty one yards. They are going to
Speaker 1: be like that all year long. We don't know who's
Speaker 1: gonna pop off, but someone certainly will, all right. And
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. Their defense is also very, very impressive.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you picked them in Survivor. I said to stay
Speaker 1: away from the point spread, but they covered the big
Speaker 1: number anyway, that defense only giving up a hundred and
Speaker 1: forty four yards. That will make it happen. It sounds
Speaker 1: like we're gonna be going to a break in about
Speaker 1: a minute. Um, there we go. So I gotta you know,
Speaker 1: we're a little bit off on our timing today. But
Speaker 1: it don't matter. If you hear this anywhere you get
Speaker 1: your podcast, you're gonna be locked and loaded for the
Speaker 1: full Fantasy freestyle. If you hear this live on Fantasy
Speaker 1: Radio Network, you're gonna be locked and loaded and live
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Thanks to everybody for holding me down. All right,
Speaker 1: the Rams look impressive. That's why I was asking you
Speaker 1: guys on Twitter, what is who is the most impressive
Speaker 1: team after two weeks? Is the Chiefs, the Rams, the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: or someone else you know, someone like Minnesota, Tampa, the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: Green Bay. It's a close poll, right now, get on
Speaker 1: out there and vote at spitting speeds. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know some more things that I
Speaker 1: got right and wrong, and then we turn our attention

Speaker 1: got a question, Alex Smith against Green Bay or Derek
Speaker 1: Carr against Miami. I think that is interesting At Miami.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean Car And here's why. The reason why
Speaker 1: is Alex Smith reverted back to this kind of dinking
Speaker 1: dunk guy, right, So I think Car in that grooten offense.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna keep on trying to take some shots.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try and keep taking some shots

Speaker 1: I can out here. What's that? Yeah? And Danny's telling
Speaker 1: me right now, we don't see that money. I'm seeing
Speaker 1: that money. I'll peel back the curtain a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're telling people, are you live? You're talking to them, Danny.
Speaker 1: That's that is the super chat um. It has a
Speaker 1: function where you can donate live as if it was
Speaker 1: like a twitch stream or so. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we don't get that. We don't see that. We
Speaker 1: don't see that. Do what you can put those in there.
Speaker 1: Danny's gonna load him up for me. You okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna answer. And Danny is also down there in the
Speaker 1: fantasy pit of misery. He's working to maybe get us
Speaker 1: live on the phone line to our last segment. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you may be able to holler at the spitting
Speaker 1: statistician in a little while. I know many of you
Speaker 1: have been clamoring for that, just like last year. But
Speaker 1: let me get into this. You know, I gotta admit
Speaker 1: where I was wrong. I was telling people how much
Speaker 1: I love Kenny Stills, and he defecated the mattress against
Speaker 1: the Jets last week. Two catches from only seventeen yards. Dazy. Okay,
Speaker 1: I acknowledge I was wrong on that. I still believe
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills is the number one wide receiver for the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, but it just game floor just didn't work
Speaker 1: that way. Okay, But he is, like a lot of
Speaker 1: other people, like the answer to a lot of these
Speaker 1: questions are just hold Okay, you gotta just hold tight.
Speaker 1: You can't always want to make the move. It's like
Speaker 1: that trading just to trade. Sometimes you just got a
Speaker 1: hold tight. All right, Let's go on over to our waivers.
Speaker 1: All right, let's first talk about running backs. That's what
Speaker 1: we do here on Tuesday's on the Fantasy Freestyle. On
Speaker 1: Tuesday's when we do waivers. I'm gonna start with the
Speaker 1: running backs. Giovanni Bernard, go get him, Okay. I think
Speaker 1: remember how much I've been talking about how much I
Speaker 1: like the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line and how is the
Speaker 1: key to changing it, in my opinion, changing the fortunes
Speaker 1: of the Bengals all right, and that offensive line will
Speaker 1: work no matter who the running back is, so I
Speaker 1: think it would help whoever is back there, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Giovanni Bernard. I know people are talking about
Speaker 1: two to four weeks. I personally think it is a
Speaker 1: longer term thing. For example, Giovanni Bernard is the perfect
Speaker 1: guy to have if you're waiting on carry On Johnson
Speaker 1: to ascend, if you're waiting on Sony Michelle to ascend,
Speaker 1: if you're waiting on Rashad Penny, maybe even although I
Speaker 1: think he's at a lower level than these other two,
Speaker 1: Geo is the perfect guy to get. Or if you're
Speaker 1: still waiting on mark Ingram Let's say, right, Geo is
Speaker 1: the perfect guy to get. He's this short term fix
Speaker 1: for you, who I think will be an RB two
Speaker 1: and PPR formats for the next two, three, four, weeks,
Speaker 1: five maybe, and then by the time Joe Mixing his back,
Speaker 1: let's say it's week eight, then Sony Michelle has already
Speaker 1: ascended to be the lead dog in New England. Then
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson has already ascended to be the lead
Speaker 1: dog in Detroit. I think Geo is a perfect guy
Speaker 1: if you're in this kind of situation waiting for some
Speaker 1: of these ascending rookies, or waiting for your suspended mark
Speaker 1: ingram to come back. Yes, I spend for Giovanni Bernard.
Speaker 1: If you're a Joe Mixon owner, I don't know why
Speaker 1: you don't have him already, but yeah, you need to
Speaker 1: go get him. Um. I could also see you going
Speaker 1: and get him and then trying to flip him to
Speaker 1: the Joe Mixon owner. Tell him that your boy speeds.
Speaker 1: The spitting statistician says he thinks it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: little bit longer than two weeks. I'm telling you it
Speaker 1: is going to be all right. Um, Matt Brita, if
Speaker 1: he's available, he's available in about of public leagues, Go
Speaker 1: get him, Um, Philip lindsay, if he's available, he's only
Speaker 1: available now in about of leagues. I still think he's
Speaker 1: a thing. I told you after week one that I
Speaker 1: would go spend money on him. I said, out of
Speaker 1: all the running backs, he's the one that I think
Speaker 1: could be a thing. And then he had even more
Speaker 1: than Royce Freeman a week two. Yeah, go out and
Speaker 1: get him. Remember Aaron Jones returning from suspension. If he's unowned,
Speaker 1: go get him. Here's the guys I do not like, though.
Speaker 1: I do not like Tavon Austin. I do not even
Speaker 1: like Austin Ekeler. Okay, Austin Ekeler. I think he has
Speaker 1: some kind of standalone value. But if you're buying on
Speaker 1: him because you were worried about Melvin Gordon, don't do it. Okay.
Speaker 1: Gordon was just like tired that he was used too
Speaker 1: much and they were just saving him for another day
Speaker 1: when they needed him. Don't think it's gonna be like
Speaker 1: that in games that are gonna be tight, in games
Speaker 1: where the game script is back and forth, you're gonna
Speaker 1: see a lot less of Austin Ekeler. All right, But
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm not on spending like my number one
Speaker 1: waiver priority on Keller. I would for Bernard, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't for Ekela. I wouldn't for Austin. I wouldn't for
Speaker 1: Buck Allen, I wouldn't for Corey Clement, I wouldn't for
Speaker 1: bilal Powell. However, what I will say, and there's no
Speaker 1: way he's not owned. But I'm looking right now, and
Speaker 1: in ten percent of leagues he's not Tevin Coleman. You
Speaker 1: need to get Tevin Coleman. He's gonna be the starting
Speaker 1: running back for the Falcons for for a long time.
Speaker 1: That's all I'll say. Alright, I'm down on Devonte Freeman.
Speaker 1: I'm down on Devonte Freeman. But it's the same kind
Speaker 1: of thing. You don't drop him and you don't trade
Speaker 1: him right now because you're only gonna get seventy cents
Speaker 1: on the dollar and that's not gonna help you. All right,
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. You're in the part of
Speaker 1: the season when unfortunately you need to hold on some
Speaker 1: of these guys and just grin and Barrett, all right,
Speaker 1: let's look at the wide receivers. A couple of guys
Speaker 1: that I do like on the wide receivers. I don't
Speaker 1: know if these guys are available because they were all
Speaker 1: right about but killing Cole, Antonio Callaway, Kenny Golladay, Chris Godwin,
Speaker 1: quincy E Nona. These are all guys I would definitely
Speaker 1: use waiver claim on, Okay, Cole, Callaway, Golladay, Godwin in
Speaker 1: noon wa I like those guys. I continue to like
Speaker 1: Geronimo Allison. Guys that I'm not entirely on Geron Brown,
Speaker 1: not entirely on him. Okay, yeah, I know. Uh he's
Speaker 1: had a touchdown, but he's been touchdown dependent both those games. Okay,
Speaker 1: he has touchdowns in both of his first two games.
Speaker 1: Without those touchdowns, he goes back to looking there very pedestrian.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can depend on a consistent touchdowns
Speaker 1: out of the Baltimore Ravens pass offense. So that's not
Speaker 1: where I'm spending it on. I'm spending it on Keeling Cole.
Speaker 1: I'm spending it on Callaway, Gola Day Godwin in noon Wall.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about in noon Wah noon Wa.
Speaker 1: Who is only who's unknowned right now at about forty
Speaker 1: of league, you can go get him. People thought going
Speaker 1: into the season that it was Robby Anderson as the
Speaker 1: number one. That's not the case. If you've seen any
Speaker 1: of the Jets games, you see that in these r
Speaker 1: p O s right, Um, Donald is looking towards the
Speaker 1: noon wall. Donald is like the first, second and third read.
Speaker 1: You know if um he's looking towards the noon well.
Speaker 1: I said that back and forth with my man Mike
Speaker 1: Florio one of our best friends forever. Um Listen, Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley might be out there in leagues. Okay, he got
Speaker 1: the touchdown. He may grow over time that balance the
Speaker 1: power between him and Mohammed. It's a new day for
Speaker 1: the number two wide receiver. Maybe trending in the Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley direction. I told you how much I love agalre
Speaker 1: but he obviously owned the last guy I will say,
Speaker 1: we go back to Thursday Night football, is Tyler Bowie Boyd.
Speaker 1: I think Tyler Boyd is going to be the number
Speaker 1: two receiver, and since he had a big game six
Speaker 1: for ninety one and a touchdown. But listen, I'm not
Speaker 1: dropping Sammy Watkins for him. I'm not dropping Larry Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: for him. I'm not dropping the um DA Marius Thomas
Speaker 1: for him. Okay, these guys that you picked early on
Speaker 1: in the season, don't cut bait too soon. People are
Speaker 1: so reactive here with their knee jerk reactions, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to caution people about being so so reactive at
Speaker 1: the tight end side. Listen, I'm not on Will dis Lee,
Speaker 1: I'm not on Jesse James. People of a lot of
Speaker 1: people are looking to add Jesse James. I'm not on
Speaker 1: Jesse James. The reason why is vance McDonald's is back healthy.
Speaker 1: So now that's like a shared tight end situation, and
Speaker 1: I don't like that. Um, Austin Hooper is available in many,
Speaker 1: many leagues. He got five targets, including a touchdown. I
Speaker 1: just think he's lower in the pecking order than so
Speaker 1: many people. Is lower than Julio, He's lower than Ridley.
Speaker 1: I think he's lower than Snow. I think he's lower
Speaker 1: than the back whether it's Coleman or eventually Freeman out
Speaker 1: of the backfield. I think he's like fifth option there.
Speaker 1: So I'm not so high on him. I'd be higher
Speaker 1: and Eric Ebron. Eric Ebron is someone who you can
Speaker 1: probably get right now. He has a touchdown in both games.
Speaker 1: But what I think is more sustainable, and a listener
Speaker 1: mentioned this to me before, is that Jack Doyle is
Speaker 1: the better blocker of the two tight ends. So that
Speaker 1: means in two tight end sets, Doyle is gonna be
Speaker 1: the one in blocking and Ebron maybe the one that's
Speaker 1: going out there running routes stuff like that. Alright, so
Speaker 1: I like Ebron as potentially an ad I like, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you can't go I guess you can still
Speaker 1: go with John H. Smith, you can still go with
Speaker 1: Ian Thomas. But one other name. I'll tell you to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on out out in Denver. And it's
Speaker 1: not just because I like saying his name, But what
Speaker 1: about Jake But Jake but is getting an increase in targets.
Speaker 1: You know that that idea, the security blanket. He's doubled
Speaker 1: his production from week one to week two. Um, they
Speaker 1: face Ravens in week three and that's a defense that's
Speaker 1: been given up. You know about sixties sixties five yards
Speaker 1: a game to the tight end, So it's not a
Speaker 1: bad matchup for him in week three if you're still
Speaker 1: trying to figure out your tight end position. Jake Butt
Speaker 1: another name out there to know at the quarterback situation. Listen,
Speaker 1: at this point, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. If Ryan Fitzpatrick is
Speaker 1: on your waiver wire, yes, go out and get him. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're seeing peak Ryan Fitzpatrick. No, this is not sustainable.
Speaker 1: There's no way this is sustainable. Right But um no,
Speaker 1: at this point, you gotta ride it until it bucks you. Okay.
Speaker 1: I do think he's gonna be the starting quarterback even
Speaker 1: when Jamis comes back. So you gotta go ahead and
Speaker 1: ride it. And then when he starts to turn around
Speaker 1: and throw picks, you know, and throw it to the
Speaker 1: opposition and you use your other quarterback. Okay, but you
Speaker 1: gotta ride this wave or as long as it is there.
Speaker 1: Dexter Rojas on Twitter is asking me, dropped Benjamin for
Speaker 1: Godwin or John Brown? I wouldn't do it for John Brown.
Speaker 1: I do like Godwin. The question is, though, Benjamin, I
Speaker 1: know it's that bad offense, but it's the number one
Speaker 1: He's is the number one wide receiver there. But they're
Speaker 1: in Minnesota against the good secondary um. I don't think
Speaker 1: you dropped Benjamin. I think you hold him. I do think, though,
Speaker 1: you go out and get Chris Godwin if you can.
Speaker 1: For whoever is the low man on your totem pole.
Speaker 1: I just don't know that Calvin Benjamin is Rojas. Benjamin
Speaker 1: is another one of those guys for me that is
Speaker 1: hold Perry ing out there three running backs Gordon, Brita,
Speaker 1: Drake or Coleman in ppr UM. Definitely Gordon. You gotta
Speaker 1: have Coleman these days because he's starting there. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go Gordon Coleman and Brita is my third because Drake,
Speaker 1: I think, is splitting a little bit still with Gore.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Drake, but I just have him
Speaker 1: behind these other guys. So I go Gordon Coleman and
Speaker 1: Brita for Perry Ing, Larry m Dion Lewis or Chris Thompson. Listen,
Speaker 1: if it's PPR, you gotta go Chris Thompson. If the
Speaker 1: guy is gonna catch fourteen balls, you gotta go that way.
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna be something that continues with
Speaker 1: check down Alex Smith. They're clearly not happy with their
Speaker 1: outside wide receivers. To bring it in Floyd, to bring
Speaker 1: it in Perryman, for goodness sakes, these guys who are
Speaker 1: for Gazy they're bringing in. So I like Chris Thompson. There,
Speaker 1: uh Bow's team. O. How long should I hold on
Speaker 1: to Connor? That's an interesting question. The right answer, the
Speaker 1: best answer, right is like to hold them until one
Speaker 1: week before Levion Bell comes in. That's the answer. The
Speaker 1: best possible case for you as a Connor owner is
Speaker 1: to flip him right before Leve Bell walks into that facility.
Speaker 1: When that is I don't know, but I do think
Speaker 1: Connor can be dangled in trade. Here's why. In the
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, it's gonna be left Bell. He needs those
Speaker 1: six or eight games for service time. It's the inverse
Speaker 1: of Zeke. Last year, Zeke was playing, but the cloud
Speaker 1: hung over his head and then he was gone for
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoff push and playoffs. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: the inverse people the cloud over Levy on Bell and
Speaker 1: James Connor and all this, But then come the playoffs
Speaker 1: when you need them most, leave Bell will be there.
Speaker 1: So the answer for you both TEAMO is like, you're
Speaker 1: supposed to hold on to Connor, like right until the
Speaker 1: week right before leave Bell reports back. I don't know
Speaker 1: when that's gonna be, though. You need to start considering
Speaker 1: reading the tea leaves and flipping James Connor though, Okay,
Speaker 1: unless you have him as like this handcuff kind of thing,
Speaker 1: which I think most people do. You know, if you
Speaker 1: had Bell, you drafted Connor as a handcuffed Laton draft,
Speaker 1: that's how most people have Connor. But if you were
Speaker 1: just lucky and took the flyer on Connor or you
Speaker 1: know kind of sense that this might happen, and picked
Speaker 1: them up before week one, then the answer is you
Speaker 1: gotta try to flip them right before leave Bell comes in.
Speaker 1: Um r XM Holder drop Collins for a P or
Speaker 1: buck Allen. No, I hold on to Collins. I personally
Speaker 1: think a P is gonna go down over time. I
Speaker 1: think that's what he is because he's an old running back.
Speaker 1: I hold Collins, I hold Collins, Drew Bree, Corey Clement
Speaker 1: worth the number one waiver not, in my opinion, he
Speaker 1: is not. I understand j g i E's banged up.
Speaker 1: I understand Darren sprawls or banged up. But for my
Speaker 1: number one waiver priority, I want something that's not gonna
Speaker 1: be a one week kind of thing. That's why I
Speaker 1: refer you to Giovanni Bernard. And what I've said is
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a longer issue, right, So
Speaker 1: I will use my number one waiver priority for something
Speaker 1: I think is a four week starting running back, which
Speaker 1: I believe g Obinardi is. I don't think Corey Clement
Speaker 1: is that. Okay, Um, I'd pick up Corey Clement, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't spend the number one waiver priority on him.
Speaker 1: Should I trade Jordan Howard? Should I trade Howard Hogan
Speaker 1: and cup or Julio and Sammy Watkins. No, no, I
Speaker 1: would not, because you need Jordan Howard probably. And remember
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I got to know who the rest
Speaker 1: of the teams are, right, because it looks to me
Speaker 1: like you probably need Jordan Howard. If I'm wrong and
Speaker 1: you have great running back depth, then in that case, sure,
Speaker 1: But that's what it comes down to. Larry m feelings
Speaker 1: on Kenny Stills. I told you about it. I acknowledge
Speaker 1: that was what I got wrong. He put up, he
Speaker 1: put up. You know, he defecated the mattress in week two.
Speaker 1: I had him in starting lineups. I'm sorry, you know, Larry,
Speaker 1: but here's what I'll say. You gotta hold him again.
Speaker 1: He's still the number one wide receiver on the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: and like a number one wide receiver on the team
Speaker 1: is rosterable. Maybe you don't start him, but you gotta
Speaker 1: hold on him. Larry m um Alan is asking me Golladay,
Speaker 1: John Brown or Stills. You know where I'm going sing
Speaker 1: it with me? Cipher Golladay. It would be so nice.
Speaker 1: I think his breakout continues. I said it all season
Speaker 1: and the off season. I said Golladay was gonna ascend
Speaker 1: this year and he is living up to the billing.
Speaker 1: So for me, Alan it goes Golladay, then Stills, then
Speaker 1: John Brown, Dan Singles acts and he dropped Jared Cook
Speaker 1: for O. J. Howard. Sure, I think that's half a
Speaker 1: one six, half a dozen of one six of the other.
Speaker 1: I think you're splitting hairs here. Jared Cook had that
Speaker 1: one big week. I told you though in Week one
Speaker 1: that was against the Rams, and I said, tight ends
Speaker 1: against the Rams may do that a lot because of
Speaker 1: the pressure coming quick upfront and the great cornerbacks on
Speaker 1: the outside. Okay, so I think that maybe a one
Speaker 1: week thing for Jared Cooks. I'm okay trying to grab
Speaker 1: O J. Howard, although O J. Howard may have been
Speaker 1: a one week thing also with that big you know,
Speaker 1: I think it was like a seventy five yard touchdown
Speaker 1: that he had with Ryan Fitzpatrick. But I do like O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard more than Jared Cook strong style. What up my
Speaker 1: man thoughts on Peyton barba Um. I think he's the
Speaker 1: number one running back for the Tampa Bucks, but I
Speaker 1: think the Tampa Bay Bucks under Ryan Fitzpatrick are a
Speaker 1: passing offense, so I downgrade him slightly. Strong style when
Speaker 1: we come back. We're gonna figure it out. Okay, I
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff for the stats over beat cipher.
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out if we can open up the
Speaker 1: phone lines. If we can, we're gonna take your calls
Speaker 1: and I gotta show you, guys, Jilly Dilley's surprise. It's
Speaker 1: for every body. We got some surprises, we got some
Speaker 1: fund as we put the fun and functional sports content.

Speaker 1: stable genius and vocal minority of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of stuff for UK for the

Speaker 1: We're gonna take some calls in this segment. I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that. But first, what I gotta do. Nobody loves
Speaker 1: their audience, their fans more than Speeds and the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher. You follow me on Twitter at Spitting Speeds.
Speaker 1: Y'all are subscribing to me on Patreon to really be
Speaker 1: part of the cipher and getting your questions in that way,
Speaker 1: the budding community is growing. I want to thank all
Speaker 1: those patrons that are doing a d gold Saraj Patel

Speaker 1: Ryan Mallison hitting me up all the time. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Renee Figaroa, I appreciate it. I'm hoping that I'm helping
Speaker 1: you win your leagues and winning that cash. But I
Speaker 1: was struck by two things guys from the cipher that
Speaker 1: I gotta share and then we're gonna get to the
Speaker 1: phone lines. Um. I have a follower named Danny Lee,
Speaker 1: and I want to shout out Danny Lee. Specifically, Danny
Speaker 1: Lee is in the Air Force. Danny Lee is like
Speaker 1: coming from if you see this on my Twitter, he's
Speaker 1: coming from an undisclosed location. He can't tell me where
Speaker 1: he is because he's like on active duty. Guys, he's
Speaker 1: in the Air Force. You know, the Air Force is
Speaker 1: riding with the stats overbeat Cipher. Danny Lee gives me
Speaker 1: shout out and says that I keep it real. I
Speaker 1: make it a better place to fantasy football. Commune City,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you to Danny Lee. And then I
Speaker 1: put out that was honored to support have the Air
Speaker 1: Force supporting me. And I heard from somebody else who's
Speaker 1: in the Air Force, Jose Lopez, big shout out to
Speaker 1: Jose Lopez, who's part of the cipher, being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Air Force is down with the cipher, that he's
Speaker 1: been trying to get his friends down with the cipher.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I thank you. I thank you to
Speaker 1: Danny Lee and Jose Lopez. I thank you for your service.
Speaker 1: And I thank everybody from the Stats over Beat Cipher,
Speaker 1: Dilly Dilley to y'all. The other thing I wanted to say,
Speaker 1: if you know about stats over Beat Cipher, if you
Speaker 1: know about the chat room, you know about you know,
Speaker 1: you know about this, you know about Jilly Dilley. Jilly
Speaker 1: Dilley is one of the key members of the Stats
Speaker 1: over Beat Cipher. And she sent me a present. Okay, previously,
Speaker 1: as you know, she sent me in my ugly Christmas sweater.
Speaker 1: She sent me the shirt that I'm wearing right now.
Speaker 1: She sent me something, guys. She sent me a loaf.
Speaker 1: She baked something for me, guys. She baked a loaf
Speaker 1: of what I can imagine. It's kind of like cinnamon
Speaker 1: bunn bread. It's really been good, guys, all right. But
Speaker 1: she called it friendship bread, okay, And she said it
Speaker 1: was a friendship bread because you have to get something
Speaker 1: from a friend in order to start it. It took
Speaker 1: her ten hours to bake this friendship bread. And she
Speaker 1: said that it was a gift from her and the
Speaker 1: Cipher to me for putting in all that I do
Speaker 1: for football season, for the stats over beat Cipher. And
Speaker 1: she told me to share the friendship bread with um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so here I am Danny Otto had some before down
Speaker 1: there in the fantasy pit of misery. So um, thank you,
Speaker 1: Julie Delley for the friendship bread. I'm gonna have some
Speaker 1: right now. Right now. They're still in the chat room.
Speaker 1: That's tough, is asking me about David Johnson for McCaffrey
Speaker 1: and the noon wa in PPR formats. Yes, I'm doing
Speaker 1: that new money. Can I drop Ted gin Jr. For
Speaker 1: Boyd or Callaway or a noon wa? Yes, I would
Speaker 1: go eat noon Wa, then Callaway, then Boyd. All right,
Speaker 1: but we have callers on the line. Let's get it
Speaker 1: popping Tom and Tampa. You're the first one here. I'll
Speaker 1: see is long on the fantasy freestyle as I try
Speaker 1: to eat this bread. I'm gonna eat some bread as
Speaker 1: you ask your question. So I forgive me if my
Speaker 1: mouth is a little full, but I'm gonna answer it.
Speaker 1: Tom Mountain, Tampa, what's going on? You're getting caught up
Speaker 1: in the fits magic my friend? Yeah, Bucks, then new
Speaker 1: let's freaking go. Let's do it. What's your question? This?
Speaker 1: Watch the mouth, watched the language. I'm sorry, but if
Speaker 1: he always does, but he has like a like a
Speaker 1: nice little like burdle, like good games, but like then
Speaker 1: it goes back to his old self. Absolutely absolutely, So
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Tom. You gotta ride the wave
Speaker 1: when it's there, but know that it's going to come
Speaker 1: crashing down at some point. So yeah, and that's possible,
Speaker 1: and that's possible. But here's the only thing that might
Speaker 1: change it. Because then after week four, when Jamis is
Speaker 1: there fits, he knows as soon as he has a
Speaker 1: bad game, they're gonna go right back to Jamis. Right.
Speaker 1: So similar to how Alex Smith had the pressure of
Speaker 1: Patty Mahomes and people think Joe flat oh, now, as
Speaker 1: the pressure of Lamar Jackson. If Fits he gets this
Speaker 1: job when Jamis comes back, then there's the pressure and
Speaker 1: it's on a week to week basis. But do you
Speaker 1: have a specific question, Tom, or you just want to
Speaker 1: curse about fits magic? Oh no, no, no, But I
Speaker 1: tell you, And I got Ricky Steel Jones right now.
Speaker 1: But I'm a s J. Jesse James, Austin Hooper. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: of those guys I like either R. S J or Hooper.
Speaker 1: All right, I think R. S J is one of
Speaker 1: those guys you're gonna wait to get more stuff from
Speaker 1: as the season goes along, all right. They are derect
Speaker 1: of options. And here's the other thing. They're gonna make
Speaker 1: the move to Josh Rosen pretty soon, all right, And
Speaker 1: what a rookie quarterbacks love into the security blanket, the
Speaker 1: tight end. I think rs J still has potential. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't cast him aside completely just yet. Some of the
Speaker 1: other guys you name don't really rate with me. I'm
Speaker 1: worried about Jesse James splitting with Vance McDonald, Austin Hooper.
Speaker 1: There's other options in Atlanta. There's less other options in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I'm okay sticking with Ricky Seals Jones. Thanks for the call,
Speaker 1: Tom ride the fits magic wave. We go, Yo, this
Speaker 1: is one of my boys from last year. Dan in
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Isn't my same Dan in New Jersey from
Speaker 1: last year? You're back on the Fantasy Freestyle with the
Speaker 1: stats over beat Cipher Dilley Dilley, Dan, how can I
Speaker 1: help you? I'm about to eat some more of this
Speaker 1: friendship bread, eat that bead my man, Dilly dilly, Dilly dilly.
Speaker 1: Um so I'm having a little running at that problem.
Speaker 1: So my running backs right now are kind of crappy,
Speaker 1: but um so d j U, Roy Spreeman, McCoy and Yelton.
Speaker 1: And so someone didn't pick up Lindsay last week, so
Speaker 1: he's on the waiver wire with Eclair and Pale. I
Speaker 1: know you're feelings on Clement, so yeah, I mean get Lindsay.
Speaker 1: I don't go get Lindsay. Yeah, go get Lindsay. You
Speaker 1: said David Johnson, you gotta play him every week? Okay,
Speaker 1: you have to play David Johnson every week? Right? And
Speaker 1: then some of the other guys you mentioned McCoy who's
Speaker 1: banged up. Um, you mentioned Yelden, who's gonna lose his
Speaker 1: value in four net comes back. Yeah, go get go
Speaker 1: get Lindsay Man, go get Lindsay Dan. Okay, absolutely, thanks
Speaker 1: for the call, Thanks for coming back to the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher. Our next call, we got John and Boston.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Johnny, you know I'm a big Yankees fan,
Speaker 1: but I'll try to help. I'll try to help the
Speaker 1: Fenway faithful as well. Um, I think we'll see John
Speaker 1: and Boston. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? How
Speaker 1: can how can speeds help you? Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be a promoct because I'm a big Yankee fan.
Speaker 1: You behind denemy lines? John, how's it going? You all
Speaker 1: right over there? Yeah? I'm good, We're good. We even
Speaker 1: ducking to weave in here. All right? You gotta bother
Speaker 1: leave a little bit. I see you. What's your question? John?
Speaker 1: How can I help you? I have a running back
Speaker 1: time him. I got your Maul Williams, but I only
Speaker 1: trust him wants to do come back right, And I
Speaker 1: just um, I'm watching YouTube and you mentioned Giovanni. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm thinking can I drop Corey Davis or Tyler
Speaker 1: Lockett to pick up Giovanni? Yeah, you can drop Tyler
Speaker 1: Lockett in my opinion. Listen the Seattle Seahawk. The Seattle
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense, we saw it last night. We saw it
Speaker 1: last night. They are not a dynamic. Yeah, lock It
Speaker 1: had that big one throw, But I think that's what
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. You know, Russell Wilson is not able
Speaker 1: to consistently move that offense. He's under pressure the whole time.
Speaker 1: And you may say, speeds, what's new, That's nothing new? Um,
Speaker 1: you know so, but I do think that this offense
Speaker 1: looks really bad. John. I do think you could drop
Speaker 1: lock it if you want to go get Geo. Who's
Speaker 1: the other option for you? Though? John? Who else might
Speaker 1: you consider on dropping? Um Corey Davis and trying to
Speaker 1: lock it? Because I got gotta day And yeah, so
Speaker 1: I think I think if you have gotta day and
Speaker 1: then other guys above that, and you're telling me like
Speaker 1: Corey Davis is like your fourth or fifth and then
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett is like your fifth or sixth is what
Speaker 1: it sounds like, John, then yeah, I'm okay with cutting
Speaker 1: Lockett to grab Giovanni Bernard in the short term. For
Speaker 1: you, you you have to realize that Geo is going to
Speaker 1: be startable for you for the next four weeks in
Speaker 1: my opinion, and right, and then after that he returns
Speaker 1: back to being a handcuff. Okay, but to me, that's in.
Speaker 1: That's enough to sacrifice who, in my opinion, is like
Speaker 1: your fifth or sixth wide receiver. That Seattle offense looks
Speaker 1: bad to me, and I I think it's not really
Speaker 1: fixable because it's an offensive line kind of thing. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, cut and lock it to make that move.
Speaker 1: I hope that makes sense. And thanks for joining the call, John,
Speaker 1: doing me a favor, you know, represent for all US
Speaker 1: Yankee fans up there up in Fenway. All right, fair enough? Um,
Speaker 1: I got another caller, my man, Danny, Um Danny down
Speaker 1: in uh? Is that down in Central Florida? Where are
Speaker 1: you at cal State Fullerton? I have it as you
Speaker 1: cef Danny. Where are you calling the status over beat
Speaker 1: cipher from my men? Yeah? University of Central Florida, the
Speaker 1: real reigning national champions of college football. That's that's what
Speaker 1: they called themselves. I don't know. I'm a Kane fanom
Speaker 1: from Miami right there? It is, bro. How can I
Speaker 1: help you? Danny? You know, I just have two questions man,
Speaker 1: regarding a defense. You know, what do you think about
Speaker 1: the Browns? You know coming on Thursday, So I don't
Speaker 1: know what you think about them. So so you have
Speaker 1: Denver right now, you have. That's a great defense. Uh
Speaker 1: what you're worried about Joe Flacco lighting them up? I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be, no, no, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: they should have stopped the car last week. That felt
Speaker 1: like because you know, they only gave up nineteen points.
Speaker 1: Though they only gave up nineteen points, like, that's not
Speaker 1: a lot, you know what I mean. Here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say, man, And
Speaker 1: then you know, thanks for the call, Danny, and you
Speaker 1: could you could um make the decision. You know, what's
Speaker 1: your fantasy team, right, So here's what I'll say. The
Speaker 1: part I like about Cleveland is that they're the home
Speaker 1: team on Thursday night football. You know, I always liked
Speaker 1: the home team on the short week, right, And there's
Speaker 1: sloppy things happen, so I could That would be my
Speaker 1: reason for saying Cleveland is a decent add But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the truth, Danny. I I ride with Denver,
Speaker 1: you know, Von Miller Bradley Chubb, that past defense. That
Speaker 1: that that defense. I think that defense is like a
Speaker 1: week to week start. So to try to, like, you know, Danny,
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be disparaging, but I don't want
Speaker 1: you to like try and get too cute with it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think that would be a move that's like a
Speaker 1: little too cute. You have the Denver Broncos defense. There
Speaker 1: are a week to week startable defense. Um, unless they're
Speaker 1: facing like you know, Patty Mahomes or something like that,
Speaker 1: then it's different. Baltimore and that Joe Flacco offense is
Speaker 1: not in that category. What they did in Week one
Speaker 1: was against the Buffalo Bills. They returned back to earth
Speaker 1: against the defense like Cincinnati, and I think that's more
Speaker 1: of what you will see. If I were you, Danny,
Speaker 1: I would keep the Denver defense locked and loaded and
Speaker 1: be happy with it. All right. I felt good. I
Speaker 1: love talking to the cipher. I love you guys in
Speaker 1: the chat room also, okay, but that felt good talking
Speaker 1: to you guys. H J. M. Godwin or Thomas this week.
Speaker 1: I don't know which Thomas it is, Um, it's gotta
Speaker 1: be or Goodwin or Thomas. Goodwin is still a little
Speaker 1: banged up Thomas. If it's the Marrius, I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit worried about it. I need clarification on which Thomas
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Out there we go, lands Davids is
Speaker 1: saying the same thing, which Thomas. If it's Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: you start him. If it's the Marriest Thomas, I kind
Speaker 1: of understand. Um, you kind of going back and forth
Speaker 1: with it. But I would still go with to Marius
Speaker 1: Thomas over Goodwin because Goodwin is still banged up in
Speaker 1: my opinion. All Right, guys dropped Denver for the Houston
Speaker 1: d No, I wouldn't do that either. Sorry, that's tough.
Speaker 1: I'm riding with Denver. I think he's gonna get that there.
Speaker 1: That defense is gonna get pressure on Joe Flacco, Jesse James,
Speaker 1: and Trey Burton, says phillymon Um with Trey Burton because
Speaker 1: I think Jesse James is gonna be splitting that opportunity
Speaker 1: with Vance McDonald. What should I do with Royce Freeman? Hold?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys, but hold is the answer. Just deal
Speaker 1: with it for a week or two. I apologize because
Speaker 1: you don't have something better, But that is the answer. Hey,
Speaker 1: Danny Otto, let's bring in him, my man. Just check
Speaker 1: this out. People have been submitting their game of inches
Speaker 1: right their hashtag time of inches, and I got a
Speaker 1: couple of good ones here, Danny. Are you ready to
Speaker 1: be my judge? So far? Always ready, Danny. And by
Speaker 1: the way, Danny and popping off is going to pop
Speaker 1: off a little bit later on. Danny is doing Yeoman's
Speaker 1: work down there in the fantasy pit of misery. Danny,
Speaker 1: um have some friendship bread, bro I did? It was great?
Speaker 1: Ye all right? With the friendship bread in my mouth.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm gonna say. Check this out. Henry Henderson,
Speaker 1: one of my Patreon subscribers, shout out to you. He
Speaker 1: lost his week by one point. Danny lost by one point,
Speaker 1: and he had the Minnesota Vikings kicker Carlson whom it's
Speaker 1: not one, not too but three field goals. He lost
Speaker 1: by a point and had that Minnesota kicker that missed
Speaker 1: three field goals. That's pretty rough on Danny. Danny's not
Speaker 1: with us anymore. Maybe he's eating friendship bread tying to
Speaker 1: sorry knock. Come on, stick with me, Danny, Let stick
Speaker 1: with me, Danny. What do you think about that? My
Speaker 1: man lost by a point had the Vikings kicker who
Speaker 1: missed three field goals. That's rough. That's rough. But after
Speaker 1: we heard intern Brian's friends one that was a rough
Speaker 1: one apologized hashtag game of interest. Some friendship bread for you,
Speaker 1: my friend. Alright. Next up Karl Anderson, who I hear
Speaker 1: from on Twitter all the time, Friends of the Cipher.
Speaker 1: He says he lost by point three, three tenths of
Speaker 1: a point, Danny, and he said he needed more from
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson. He had Allan Robinson. Um, I was hoping
Speaker 1: for another catch in the second half there, but and
Speaker 1: I made this point to call. It was like, all right,
Speaker 1: you lost. It was close, but his opponent had Greg's ourline.
Speaker 1: Who was that kicker who was a late scratch who
Speaker 1: got zero So it's almost like he got lucky and
Speaker 1: then still lost by point three. So like close, but
Speaker 1: not a true game of inches for me. What do
Speaker 1: you think, Danny. I mean, it's a little bit closer,
Speaker 1: it's not a full point, so I'm I understand the love.
Speaker 1: So you're into it really by the closest margin of victory,
Speaker 1: not like the circumstance. I'm into the circums dance. It's
Speaker 1: like I have different columns to check, and that other
Speaker 1: one is kind of so it's how close the game is,
Speaker 1: and like, how how um how much you suffered seeing it? Right?
Speaker 1: Exactly fair enough, um, Robert Murphy on Twitter at Rob
Speaker 1: Murphy O seven lost by nine points um, and lost
Speaker 1: because his opponent had Russell Wilson. Now this needs context
Speaker 1: because Russell Wilson was defecating the mattress for the first
Speaker 1: three quarters and then in garbage time started to move
Speaker 1: the ball through a touchdown and it was that that
Speaker 1: wound up changing it on Monday Night football. But he
Speaker 1: lost by nine points. So I'm like, what do you think, Danny?
Speaker 1: Does he deserve friendship bread? Though? All right, Robert, you
Speaker 1: get some friendship bread mhmm. The last one, Danny, I
Speaker 1: think this is the winner. Check this out. Derek Volsion
Speaker 1: of Big Voge hits me up on Twitter all the time.
Speaker 1: He's part of the stats over beat cipher. Check this
Speaker 1: one out, Danny. He lost by point eight less than
Speaker 1: a point intensive a point okay. His opponent had DeAndre Hopkins,
Speaker 1: the d hop the d Hoppopotamus. The last play of
Speaker 1: the game, Danny, the Texans are like down by a bunch.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's the last play of the game.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter at all. DeAndre Hopkins gets to catch
Speaker 1: and it's like trying to run around to make it
Speaker 1: a touchdown and stuff, and then they tackle him. It
Speaker 1: was like nobody was paying attention. They give him the
Speaker 1: catch because the whole defense is back there by the
Speaker 1: end zone defending, you know, the goal line. So they
Speaker 1: dump it off the d hop He runs around a
Speaker 1: little bit and you know, it's a nondescript play, but
Speaker 1: it was that play that made Derek Vosionov lose by
Speaker 1: eight tenths of a point. Hashtag game of inches. What
Speaker 1: do you think? I think this is the winner? All right,
Speaker 1: So Derek vosion of you are a Week two winner
Speaker 1: our worst game of inches or best game of inches
Speaker 1: for the entire year. When you lose game of and win,
Speaker 1: well lose win when you lose by so close that
Speaker 1: it's a game of inches, you win access to some
Speaker 1: of my good old Rodal wear shirts. We're gonna give
Speaker 1: you a promo code. You're gonna get a free Rotal
Speaker 1: war shirt from a man kenned cashman. Guys. It was
Speaker 1: a sprint today. I know we had some tech difficulties.
