We have another 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.120 example of that tonight in Monday Night Football. I'm gonna 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.920 be talking to you about all of my trends and 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.120 big time time takeaways from week three and how you 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.800 can spin that forward and apply it for Week four 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.120 and beyond. I'm also gonna be going, you know, game 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.480 by game and giving you my recap on what you 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.720 really need. And then listen, we gotta pull questions up 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.720 here right now on Twitter, at Spitting Speeds, at f 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.280 n T s Y Radio. I want to ask you guys, 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.520 who is your diamond in the rough? You know, we 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.200 talked about our diamonds in the rough every week here 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.520 on the Fantasy Freestyle. My poll questions, though, are here 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.680 are my options. Sterling Shepherd, New York Giants wide receiver, 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.520 who's owned and only thirty five percent of leagues and 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.240 I believe he is going to ascend. I will tell 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.920 you why later on in the show. Is it Duke 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.600 Johnson who's owned and only about fifty percent of leagues 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.560 for the Cleveland Browns? Listen, Isaiah cor Well, he talked 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.040 about a big game, but it didn't really happen, and 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.480 that was against the Colts. Duke Johnson is the guy 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.000 who delivered. Maybe he's the one who helped you win 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.240 week three? Or was it Tyler Gabriel, Tyler Gabriel, This 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.040 Atlanta Falcons offense I've been saying it for weeks is 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:44.080 sustainable and scary regardless of Shanahan, they continued, Or is 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.320 it someone else who helped you out? But remember listen, 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.799 and Diamond in the Rough is not somebody that's owned 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.520 by everybody. Okay, even my boy Chris Thompson was owned 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.799 by seventies six percent of people in Yahoo leagues. Remember 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.799 I've done on him for a while. He's gone up 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.840 from thirty some odd for sent to because people are 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.840 listening to the Fantasy freestyle. I also asked, you want 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.480 to pull who was the one who defecated the mattress 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.920 for you in week three? Who was the gaze that 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.000 you need to forget about. Was that Cam Newton who 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.200 couldn't do it even against the Saints. Was it a 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.080 Marii Cooper who was struggling with a drop issue as 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.480 I have been saying on this very show. Or was 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.200 it Travis Kelsey who was my pick as the number 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.160 one tight end and he did not deliver? Let us 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.720 know at f f T s Y Radio on Twitter 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.560 at spitting Speeds as well listen when we come back. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.800 But we're gonna get into his news and notes and 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.440 injury impacts. Football is a violent game, as you know, 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.760 what are the implications Who are the people you need 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.280 to look at on the waiver wire a m Mr 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.880 Smallwood in Philadelphia perhaps, and then also my big time 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.160 trends from week three and then later on we empty 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.400 off the phone lines, all that and more. We're dropping 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.040 stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on 0:03:53.080 --> 0:04:00.040 the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go LEAs when to 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.120 go to Minnesota but never had a reason to.

It's a Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:41.600 by t k MS, only on Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:48.440 It's like one, two three, most defenitile lip quality, a 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.480 little reflection eternal right there for you as we come 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.680 back dropping status over beats is the Fantasy Freestyle right 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.200 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We are live 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.440 in Studio thirty four. We got a lot of people 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.920 walking by I wondering what is going on, but they 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.480 need to know that speedies and spitting statistician can help 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.680 them win their leagues and win that cash. As we 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.960 get out of week three, let me tell you about 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.080 some of the news and notes, and most importantly, some 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.240 of the injuries that you need to understand moving forward 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.200 for your fantasy team. First big injury that happened yesterday, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.359 Darren sprawls. Man, if this isn't a bad day, I 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.279 don't know what is. Darren spoils broke his arm and 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.200 towur his a c L in that game against the Giants. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.839 He listened. If it was just the broken arm, he 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.479 might have come back and been one of those I 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.440 R Designated to return kind of players. But with the 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.239 a c L, it looks like his season is definitely over, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.160 and there was a lot of noise that this was 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.279 gonna be Darren sprails his final season, so it could 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.280 be the end of the career of Darren Spoils. I 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.560 gotta tell you, man, this has been a guy who 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.680 has been doing it for years, whether it has been 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.600 in San Diego, in New Orleans, or in Philadelphia. Always 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.240 a reliable guy. Really, uh like one of a mind 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.880 in the NFL for this generation moving forward, though, I 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.479 gotta tell you, when Thell Smallwood is the AD, I 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.080 believe he should be the number one overall waiver wire 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.920 AD because he is going to take that Darren Sproles 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.280 role in the offense. It may be a second chance 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.800 for the Garrett Blunt to get some early down work, 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.400 but he really wasn't doing much at all. I think 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.599 as games continue, it's going to be when THELL Smallwood 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.520 that gets the bulk of that work. Coming out of 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.400 the backfield for Philadelphia reports. In Minnesota, you know, we 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.320 hear about how Sam Bradford mixed again case Keenum though 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.560 popped off going to my man Stefan. Can you digs it? 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.640 There are now reports that former quarterback Teddy Bridgewater could 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.760 be ready as early as week seven, kind of almost 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.320 coming off the pup list. Crazy, right around the same 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.680 time they're now saying Andrew Luck might be ready. Um, 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.120 if Sam Bradford is in a hundred percent, that could 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.560 be an option in Minnesota. Keep an eye out for that. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.680 In New Orleans, the suspension is now over for Willie Sneed. Okay, 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.159 it was a three game suspension. He is going to 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.359 be back for the Saints as they take on the 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:08.040 Dolphins in London in Week four. I expect him to 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.960 get involved right away and kind of I think that's 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.840 a downturn for guys like Ted Jr. And for Kobe 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.080 fleaner Michael Thomas. However, we'll be fine. Seahawks stud wide 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.080 receiver Doug Baldwin had a groin injury. Is gonna have 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.880 an m r I. It looks like today, um, this 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.960 could be an issue. Doug Baldwin is the security blanket 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.920 for Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson and that Seahawks offense has 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.000 not looked good anyway because of the offensive line. Doug 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.480 Baldwin really helps Russell stay afloat. If Baldwin is gone, 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.440 that could be a big, big problem. The only person 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.720 who stands to gain, you know, maybe Jimmy Graham gets 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.040 a bigger target share. But also keep an eye out 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.000 on Paul Richardson. Paul Richardson is the number two real 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.600 wide out over there and someone that Russell Wilson already 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.680 looks to. We'll be talking about that as we talk 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.760 about our heaviest waiver. Wire adds on tomorrow's episode of 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.720 The Fantasy Freestyle, Soma J. P. Ryan. He left Sunday 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.400 Night Football with a hand issue. He looks day today. 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.960 This could be mean even more of my guy, Chris Thompson. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.560 Listen if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle. I don't 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.800 know how many times I gotta tell you I was 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.240 on Chris Thompson before the season even started as the 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.360 Washington running back to own. He is now rated number 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:20.320 four overall in fantasy football. Michael Crabtree also left Sunday 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.640 Night Football because of a chess issue. It did not 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.360 really matter. The Oakland Raiders laid an egg on Sunday 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:31.920 Night Football. Listen, Julio Jones stud Julio Jones is dealing 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.600 with a lower back issue. Okay, he's gonna play through it, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.319 but it just seems like Julio is always banged up 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.320 and playing through. I would rather hear about this starting 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.439 after week like nine or ten, not starting after week three. 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.760 A back issue could be something that lingers think about. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.360 What this could mean for guys like Mohammed son O 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.040 and Tyler Gabriel as well. It could be very interesting 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.880 for those options, because listen, this Atlanta offense is going 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.040 to keep it rolling. Last thing I'll let you know 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.960 about Melvin It in for the Los Angeles not San 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:06.480 Diego Chargers. He missed big chunks of the second half 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.040 in that game against the Chiefs yesterday, and they're now 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.959 saying that he's got a bone bruise. Remember he was 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.120 listening as questionable. He has knee issues in his past. 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.000 It looks like he's got a bone bruise. They're calling 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.560 it minor, but I think this is also something that 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.040 could linger for a guy who has had micro fracture 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.640 surgery in the past, and you know could be an 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.719 issue from Melvin Gordon moving forward. All right, as we 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.719 keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.720 Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I want to tell you some 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.959 of my biggest takeaways from the week. Remember I did 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.559 this after week one and I told you about the 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.120 bad offensive line play. I did it after week two 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:40.960 and I told you about how running back was a 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.120 young man's hustle. What I want to talk about today 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.839 are these home dogs. I told you about that when 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.200 I made my picks. Going on over to my bookie 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.199 dot a g And I told you you could enter 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.240 the promo code Freestyle. I told you these home dogs 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.520 are where to go. You know what the home dogs did. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.320 They were nine on the slate. One of them is 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.400 still tonight. But you know what the eight have done 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.319 so far? They went six and two. Okay, it started 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.559 with a cover on Thursday Night Football from the Niners. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.480 But Yo, the Bills were home dogs. Everybody loved the Broncos. 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.679 Bills win sixteen. The Bears were home dogs. Everybody thought 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.080 it was crazy. People were picking the Steelers and knockout 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:20.640 pools left and right. The Bears win outright seventeen. People 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.160 were thinking it was crazy that the culture so horrible. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.080 They were home dogs. They beat the Browns by the 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.000 New York Jets j E. T s. People thought they 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.800 were gonna go oh in sixteen. I told you, I 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.160 told you this was not the week to play against them. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.880 And survivor. I told you about the Dolphins traveling cross country. 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.480 I told you that they were gonna be a little 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.240 bit faded with guys like a gy E, Parker and 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.840 Landry all banged up. Yep, the Jets one outright twenty 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.680 to six. We told you about the Washington football team. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.959 Same scenario for these Raiders. Everybody thought the Raiders were 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.079 the Darlins who were Super Bowl contenders. They travel across 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.520 the car the country in a tough spot for a 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.480 non conference home game, I road game. I tell you 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.400 about it all the time. The Washington football team, they 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.080 were home dogs. They won out right. The only here 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.240 the two against the spread. It was six and two 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.240 against the spread. Here are the two. First was the 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.080 Detroit Lions catching three points against the Atlanta Falcons. Did 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:19.800 you see the end of a game? You see the 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:24.040 controversial replay that was reversing a Golden Tate touchdown. They 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.720 hung right in there. I gotta tell you, these Lions 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.440 showed me a ton in a loss. I told you 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.480 that was gonna be a last team with the ball 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.640 kind of game. I told you to buy the extra 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.360 point there by the hook. If you did, you might 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.880 have been okay. The Lions also kept it close. And 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.280 the other one was the Charges. They lost to the 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.160 Chiefs as a home dog. But listen, the only teams 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.760 that can get through this kind of like home dog 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:53.120 obstacle are the Falcons and the Chiefs, the only undefeated 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.000 teams that are probably number one and two and everybody's 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.720 power rankings right now. That's what it takes to overcome 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.760 the home dog in this league. I'm telling you, people 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.080 thought I was crazy picking home dogs. Six out of 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.880 eight of them hit and we have one more tonight. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.000 So if you like the Arizona Cardinals, you need to 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.000 go on over to my bookie dot a G and 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.920 throw a couple of shekels on them. Listen, it's on Monday. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.200 I like to hold myself as accountable. If you listen 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.280 to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know I talked about the 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.840 things I got right, and the things that I got wrong. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.280 Here are some called shots from your boys speeds, the 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:31.000 spin statistician building credibility. First of all, Chris Thompson. How 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.800 many times do I have to tell you, guys about 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.040 Chris Thompson two hundred and thirty one receiving yards after 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.480 three new weeks. That is most among running backs in 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.440 the entire NFL. He had a hundred and fifty receiving 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.440 yards last night. I told you he was the back 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.560 to own. I hope you listened to me. Big shout 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.520 out the Pashta Koslov on Twitter actually thanking me for 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.079 the call about Chris Thompson. That one is for you. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.079 You know it's on the Humble. I won't even charge 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.319 you for that one, okay. Also, I told you about 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.240 Joe Mixon. I told you that this was going to 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.640 be the week that Joe Mixon joined the fray. With 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.960 all these young rookie running backs like you Dalvin Cooks, 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.280 like your Leonard for Netts, you know people that popped 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.480 off like Kareem Hunt. I said Joe Mixon was going 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.760 to join the party this week under new offensive coordinator 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.760 Bill Laser, and he absolutely did a hundred and one 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.040 combined yards on twenty one touches. He I believe is 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.080 the ascending new back in Cincinnati. Jeremy Hill only eight touches. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:33.439 Giovanni Bernard only five touches. Mixing is the guy to own. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.000 I'm telling you. I also told you that I had 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.040 concerned for the Dolphins. I told you the Jet we're 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.600 gonna get one. People thought it was crazy. I said, 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.200 get away from the Dolphins in knockout pools, because I 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.720 think the Jets actually get one in this spot. I 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.120 told you about Kirk Cousins as well. I said, if 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.000 not now, then when. But at the same time, I 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.480 got some things wrong too. I can't fade that. You 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.280 know I got some things wrong. Listen Buck Allen, who 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.880 everybody I liked him as well? He only got twenty 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.880 three carries on fourteen touches. I told you guys about 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.960 how much I love pop Quiz Jock Quiz Rodgers, and 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.640 he defecated the mattress, only getting five touches for fifteen yards. 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.360 That entire Bucks team that got blown out of the 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.600 water looks like like a Bucks can use Doug Martin back. Okay, 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.320 that suspensions last thing one more week and it looks 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.720 like the Bucks are gonna be ready to ride Doug Martin. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.280 If you've been saving Doug Martin, you don't have to 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.320 worry about this like, oh, will he get his job 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.720 back or not. It's gonna be heavy Doug Martin when 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:34.240 they come back. Also, Richard Higgins only at two catches 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.640 for ten yards. People we high on him here at 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.760 the Fantasy Freestyle. But this is why we don't overreact. Okay, 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.560 it's the same as like what we saw with Kenny 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.720 Golladay after the preseason or after week one. That's what 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.680 you really gotta understand.

But also going 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.800 to talk about the quarterback positional little bit more. I 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.200 told you about how running back was a young man's hustle. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.400 It's a little bit different for quarterback, and we're gonna 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.760 get into that when we come back. We're still here 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.840 dropping stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle opening up 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.440 the phone lines as well.

I'm asking you 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.520 it's always interesting. I asked you which guy was your 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.200 for gaze? I also which guy was your diamond in 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.120 the rough? People are voting right now on Twitter and 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.600 for the question about the diamond and the rough Peo 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.560 people say other, but they don't want to say who. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.760 But the question for the gay people are so quick 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.960 to comment and they want people to know who it 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.600 was that them up and how like you know they 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.640 had it right, you know, mentally and and and strategically, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.439 but then you know the player just did what they 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.199 were not supposed to do. For example, thirty percent of 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.480 you guys say Travis Kelsey is the person that was 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.920 the fugais that undermined you. But then we got someone 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.879 starting buck Allen over Cooks. We got someone who I 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.240 like Fantasy Field report who says I took the win anyway, 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.119 but Ebron and Carolina d let me down. Let me know, 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.440 don't worry about it. I still want to check out 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.800 this guy Joshua Louis Hill on Twitter that says still 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.920 had girly and hunt but it got ruined by Rivers, 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.879 the Ravens D and Tucker. And then also, you know, 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.400 people are saying Kelsey the Ravens D. You know, also 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.280 think about check this out Costa had Cooper Cup, Mike Gillesley, 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.480 Devin Funch to Jack Doyle, Kenny Golladay. Wow, that's a 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.600 lot all under seven points. That's a lot of people 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.439 you probably lost that week. But hopefully, hopefully you know, 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.000 that is like the only week it happened to get 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.480 out all the good all the bad luck in one week. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.159 Like I said, we're gonna go to the phones, and 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.560 we got your phones questions right now at eight four four, 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.200 eight four, three six, eight seven nine. We got a 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.320 couple of questions up there right now. Let's go to 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.399 the first one on air here on Fantasy Freestyle. It 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.000 is Dan in New Jersey talking about the Waiver Wire. 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.080 Days are gonna run on Wednesday. We're gonna talk a 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.240 lot of wa waiver Wire stuff on tomorrow's episode of 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.560 Fantasy Freestyle, Fat budget Waiver Priority. But Dan, you're dropping 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.359 the fats over beats in New Jersey. You're on the 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.960 Fantasy Freestyle. What's up, Dan? How's it going? Man? Um 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.800 So pretty much. I'm a little tight right now, wide receiver. 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.639 I'll tell you my team what I got. Um, everyone 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.720 got to start three wide receivers. Just keep that in 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.760 my mind as well. Um, so I got Maddie Ryan 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:49.400 Does Prior, Tree, Hill, Mortus Bryant, Macklin's Cobb, and then 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.040 my running backs which doesn't matter, but Belle Howard, Gillislee, 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.800 Henry and Mixing, and then um, the guys I got 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:01.359 on well waiver wire right now is Shepherd, Seeth Roberts, 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:08.359 Paul Richardson, Geronimo Alison, Devin Funches, Ted ginn Curse. So 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.959 you're gonna stop right there because Sterling Shepherd is the answer. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.920 Sterling Shepherd is the answer. Okay, Sterling Shepherd is the answer. 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.400 I was gonna get into this a little bit tomorrow, okay. Um, 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.400 Not guys like Geronimo Allison, that's a one week kind 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.840 of thing that just happened because Cobb was her Jordan's 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.560 banged up. However, Sterling Shepherd is sustainable. Okay, And let 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.600 me tell you a couple of reasons why. Number one, 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.240 he is the number two wide receiver in this offense. 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.080 It is clearly not Brandon Marshall. Sterling Shepherd is the 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.080 guy who's getting the targets after old Dell Beckham. But 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.159 what I've what I saw yesterday, and this is one 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:43.720 of my points from the Giants game, is that Eli 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.240 Manning is going to throw throw throw. We have been 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.640 talking about the offensive line for the Giants and how 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.000 bad they are, and I thought it really was about 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.080 how Eli Manning was gonna get sacked a tongue. He 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.440 did not get sacked as much, but that's because he's 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.439 trying to get the ball out a lot and a 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.000 lot quicker. What has happened is that the running game 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.919 for the Giants has been absolutely trashed, and that is 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.160 not going to change. What I believe it could happen 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.680 is that the Giants are going to uh pretty much 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.240 kind of like you know, abandon the running game and 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.560 they're gonna ask Eli Manning to put the ball up 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.560 forty five times every game. You're gonna see Eli two 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.359 for three hundred some odd yards. They're going to throw 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.320 the ball almost all of the time in their three 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.480 wide receivers set, and Sterling Shepherd is the number two 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.879
