Speaker 1: of you. Later on in the show, We're gonn open
Speaker 1: up the phone lines at eight four four eight four
Speaker 1: three six eight seven line and uh when you know
Speaker 1: we're trying to help you out as we look ahead
Speaker 1: to what you need to do if your team, you know,
Speaker 1: had a tough loss, if you had a big surprising win,
Speaker 1: or if you need help tonight with some decisions on
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football as the Arizona Cardinals host the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: After we take a break, I'm gonna be telling you
Speaker 1: guys about my uh one of my big trends and
Speaker 1: takeaways for Week three, and I tell you it has
Speaker 1: to do with these home underdogs that I've been telling
Speaker 1: you guys about for the entire season. We have another
Speaker 1: example of that tonight in Monday Night Football. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be talking to you about all of my trends and
Speaker 1: big time time takeaways from week three and how you
Speaker 1: can spin that forward and apply it for Week four
Speaker 1: and beyond. I'm also gonna be going, you know, game
Speaker 1: by game and giving you my recap on what you
Speaker 1: really need. And then listen, we gotta pull questions up
Speaker 1: here right now on Twitter, at Spitting Speeds, at f
Speaker 1: n T s Y Radio. I want to ask you guys,
Speaker 1: who is your diamond in the rough? You know, we
Speaker 1: talked about our diamonds in the rough every week here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle. My poll questions, though, are here
Speaker 1: are my options. Sterling Shepherd, New York Giants wide receiver,
Speaker 1: who's owned and only thirty five percent of leagues and
Speaker 1: I believe he is going to ascend. I will tell
Speaker 1: you why later on in the show. Is it Duke
Speaker 1: Johnson who's owned and only about fifty percent of leagues
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns? Listen, Isaiah cor Well, he talked
Speaker 1: about a big game, but it didn't really happen, and
Speaker 1: that was against the Colts. Duke Johnson is the guy
Speaker 1: who delivered. Maybe he's the one who helped you win
Speaker 1: week three? Or was it Tyler Gabriel, Tyler Gabriel, This
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons offense I've been saying it for weeks is
Speaker 1: sustainable and scary regardless of Shanahan, they continued, Or is
Speaker 1: it someone else who helped you out? But remember listen,
Speaker 1: and Diamond in the Rough is not somebody that's owned
Speaker 1: by everybody. Okay, even my boy Chris Thompson was owned
Speaker 1: by seventies six percent of people in Yahoo leagues. Remember
Speaker 1: I've done on him for a while. He's gone up
Speaker 1: from thirty some odd for sent to because people are
Speaker 1: listening to the Fantasy freestyle. I also asked, you want
Speaker 1: to pull who was the one who defecated the mattress
Speaker 1: for you in week three? Who was the gaze that
Speaker 1: you need to forget about. Was that Cam Newton who
Speaker 1: couldn't do it even against the Saints. Was it a
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper who was struggling with a drop issue as
Speaker 1: I have been saying on this very show. Or was
Speaker 1: it Travis Kelsey who was my pick as the number
Speaker 1: one tight end and he did not deliver? Let us
Speaker 1: know at f f T s Y Radio on Twitter
Speaker 1: at spitting Speeds as well listen when we come back.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into his news and notes and
Speaker 1: injury impacts. Football is a violent game, as you know,
Speaker 1: what are the implications Who are the people you need
Speaker 1: to look at on the waiver wire a m Mr
Speaker 1: Smallwood in Philadelphia perhaps, and then also my big time
Speaker 1: trends from week three and then later on we empty
Speaker 1: off the phone lines, all that and more. We're dropping
Speaker 1: stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go LEAs when to
Speaker 1: go to Minnesota but never had a reason to. Well,
Speaker 1: this year, that's where the big Game is and the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network wants to send you there. Starting
Speaker 1: a week four, we are giving away free tickets to
Speaker 1: the Big Game. On February fourth in Minnesota with our
Speaker 1: Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by t k M. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is answer our four trivia questions right,
Speaker 1: and you're going to the Big Game listening next week
Speaker 1: to find out what shows and what times the contest
Speaker 1: will be running. It's a Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored
Speaker 1: by t k MS, only on Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: It's like one, two three, most defenitile lip quality, a
Speaker 1: little reflection eternal right there for you as we come
Speaker 1: back dropping status over beats is the Fantasy Freestyle right
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We are live
Speaker 1: in Studio thirty four. We got a lot of people
Speaker 1: walking by I wondering what is going on, but they
Speaker 1: need to know that speedies and spitting statistician can help
Speaker 1: them win their leagues and win that cash. As we
Speaker 1: get out of week three, let me tell you about
Speaker 1: some of the news and notes, and most importantly, some
Speaker 1: of the injuries that you need to understand moving forward
Speaker 1: for your fantasy team. First big injury that happened yesterday,
Speaker 1: Darren sprawls. Man, if this isn't a bad day, I
Speaker 1: don't know what is. Darren spoils broke his arm and
Speaker 1: towur his a c L in that game against the Giants.
Speaker 1: He listened. If it was just the broken arm, he
Speaker 1: might have come back and been one of those I
Speaker 1: R Designated to return kind of players. But with the
Speaker 1: a c L, it looks like his season is definitely over,
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of noise that this was
Speaker 1: gonna be Darren sprails his final season, so it could
Speaker 1: be the end of the career of Darren Spoils. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, man, this has been a guy who
Speaker 1: has been doing it for years, whether it has been
Speaker 1: in San Diego, in New Orleans, or in Philadelphia. Always
Speaker 1: a reliable guy. Really, uh like one of a mind
Speaker 1: in the NFL for this generation moving forward, though, I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, when Thell Smallwood is the AD, I
Speaker 1: believe he should be the number one overall waiver wire
Speaker 1: AD because he is going to take that Darren Sproles
Speaker 1: role in the offense. It may be a second chance
Speaker 1: for the Garrett Blunt to get some early down work,
Speaker 1: but he really wasn't doing much at all. I think
Speaker 1: as games continue, it's going to be when THELL Smallwood
Speaker 1: that gets the bulk of that work. Coming out of
Speaker 1: the backfield for Philadelphia reports. In Minnesota, you know, we
Speaker 1: hear about how Sam Bradford mixed again case Keenum though
Speaker 1: popped off going to my man Stefan. Can you digs it?
Speaker 1: There are now reports that former quarterback Teddy Bridgewater could
Speaker 1: be ready as early as week seven, kind of almost
Speaker 1: coming off the pup list. Crazy, right around the same
Speaker 1: time they're now saying Andrew Luck might be ready. Um,
Speaker 1: if Sam Bradford is in a hundred percent, that could
Speaker 1: be an option in Minnesota. Keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 1: In New Orleans, the suspension is now over for Willie Sneed. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was a three game suspension. He is going to
Speaker 1: be back for the Saints as they take on the
Speaker 1: Dolphins in London in Week four. I expect him to
Speaker 1: get involved right away and kind of I think that's
Speaker 1: a downturn for guys like Ted Jr. And for Kobe
Speaker 1: fleaner Michael Thomas. However, we'll be fine. Seahawks stud wide
Speaker 1: receiver Doug Baldwin had a groin injury. Is gonna have
Speaker 1: an m r I. It looks like today, um, this
Speaker 1: could be an issue. Doug Baldwin is the security blanket
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson and that Seahawks offense has
Speaker 1: not looked good anyway because of the offensive line. Doug
Speaker 1: Baldwin really helps Russell stay afloat. If Baldwin is gone,
Speaker 1: that could be a big, big problem. The only person
Speaker 1: who stands to gain, you know, maybe Jimmy Graham gets
Speaker 1: a bigger target share. But also keep an eye out
Speaker 1: on Paul Richardson. Paul Richardson is the number two real
Speaker 1: wide out over there and someone that Russell Wilson already
Speaker 1: looks to. We'll be talking about that as we talk
Speaker 1: about our heaviest waiver. Wire adds on tomorrow's episode of
Speaker 1: The Fantasy Freestyle, Soma J. P. Ryan. He left Sunday
Speaker 1: Night Football with a hand issue. He looks day today.
Speaker 1: This could be mean even more of my guy, Chris Thompson.
Speaker 1: Listen if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many times I gotta tell you I was
Speaker 1: on Chris Thompson before the season even started as the
Speaker 1: Washington running back to own. He is now rated number
Speaker 1: four overall in fantasy football. Michael Crabtree also left Sunday
Speaker 1: Night Football because of a chess issue. It did not
Speaker 1: really matter. The Oakland Raiders laid an egg on Sunday
Speaker 1: Night Football. Listen, Julio Jones stud Julio Jones is dealing
Speaker 1: with a lower back issue. Okay, he's gonna play through it,
Speaker 1: but it just seems like Julio is always banged up
Speaker 1: and playing through. I would rather hear about this starting
Speaker 1: after week like nine or ten, not starting after week three.
Speaker 1: A back issue could be something that lingers think about.
Speaker 1: What this could mean for guys like Mohammed son O
Speaker 1: and Tyler Gabriel as well. It could be very interesting
Speaker 1: for those options, because listen, this Atlanta offense is going
Speaker 1: to keep it rolling. Last thing I'll let you know
Speaker 1: about Melvin It in for the Los Angeles not San
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers. He missed big chunks of the second half
Speaker 1: in that game against the Chiefs yesterday, and they're now
Speaker 1: saying that he's got a bone bruise. Remember he was
Speaker 1: listening as questionable. He has knee issues in his past.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's got a bone bruise. They're calling
Speaker 1: it minor, but I think this is also something that
Speaker 1: could linger for a guy who has had micro fracture
Speaker 1: surgery in the past, and you know could be an
Speaker 1: issue from Melvin Gordon moving forward. All right, as we
Speaker 1: keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I want to tell you some
Speaker 1: of my biggest takeaways from the week. Remember I did
Speaker 1: this after week one and I told you about the
Speaker 1: bad offensive line play. I did it after week two
Speaker 1: and I told you about how running back was a
Speaker 1: young man's hustle. What I want to talk about today
Speaker 1: are these home dogs. I told you about that when
Speaker 1: I made my picks. Going on over to my bookie
Speaker 1: dot a g And I told you you could enter
Speaker 1: the promo code Freestyle. I told you these home dogs
Speaker 1: are where to go. You know what the home dogs did.
Speaker 1: They were nine on the slate. One of them is
Speaker 1: still tonight. But you know what the eight have done
Speaker 1: so far? They went six and two. Okay, it started
Speaker 1: with a cover on Thursday Night Football from the Niners.
Speaker 1: But Yo, the Bills were home dogs. Everybody loved the Broncos.
Speaker 1: Bills win sixteen. The Bears were home dogs. Everybody thought
Speaker 1: it was crazy. People were picking the Steelers and knockout
Speaker 1: pools left and right. The Bears win outright seventeen. People
Speaker 1: were thinking it was crazy that the culture so horrible.
Speaker 1: They were home dogs. They beat the Browns by the
Speaker 1: New York Jets j E. T s. People thought they
Speaker 1: were gonna go oh in sixteen. I told you, I
Speaker 1: told you this was not the week to play against them.
Speaker 1: And survivor. I told you about the Dolphins traveling cross country.
Speaker 1: I told you that they were gonna be a little
Speaker 1: bit faded with guys like a gy E, Parker and
Speaker 1: Landry all banged up. Yep, the Jets one outright twenty
Speaker 1: to six. We told you about the Washington football team.
Speaker 1: Same scenario for these Raiders. Everybody thought the Raiders were
Speaker 1: the Darlins who were Super Bowl contenders. They travel across
Speaker 1: the car the country in a tough spot for a
Speaker 1: non conference home game, I road game. I tell you
Speaker 1: about it all the time. The Washington football team, they
Speaker 1: were home dogs. They won out right. The only here
Speaker 1: the two against the spread. It was six and two
Speaker 1: against the spread. Here are the two. First was the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions catching three points against the Atlanta Falcons. Did
Speaker 1: you see the end of a game? You see the
Speaker 1: controversial replay that was reversing a Golden Tate touchdown. They
Speaker 1: hung right in there. I gotta tell you, these Lions
Speaker 1: showed me a ton in a loss. I told you
Speaker 1: that was gonna be a last team with the ball
Speaker 1: kind of game. I told you to buy the extra
Speaker 1: point there by the hook. If you did, you might
Speaker 1: have been okay. The Lions also kept it close. And
Speaker 1: the other one was the Charges. They lost to the
Speaker 1: Chiefs as a home dog. But listen, the only teams
Speaker 1: that can get through this kind of like home dog
Speaker 1: obstacle are the Falcons and the Chiefs, the only undefeated
Speaker 1: teams that are probably number one and two and everybody's
Speaker 1: power rankings right now. That's what it takes to overcome
Speaker 1: the home dog in this league. I'm telling you, people
Speaker 1: thought I was crazy picking home dogs. Six out of
Speaker 1: eight of them hit and we have one more tonight.
Speaker 1: So if you like the Arizona Cardinals, you need to
Speaker 1: go on over to my bookie dot a G and
Speaker 1: throw a couple of shekels on them. Listen, it's on Monday.
Speaker 1: I like to hold myself as accountable. If you listen
Speaker 1: to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know I talked about the
Speaker 1: things I got right, and the things that I got wrong.
Speaker 1: Here are some called shots from your boys speeds, the
Speaker 1: spin statistician building credibility. First of all, Chris Thompson. How
Speaker 1: many times do I have to tell you, guys about
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson two hundred and thirty one receiving yards after
Speaker 1: three new weeks. That is most among running backs in
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. He had a hundred and fifty receiving
Speaker 1: yards last night. I told you he was the back
Speaker 1: to own. I hope you listened to me. Big shout
Speaker 1: out the Pashta Koslov on Twitter actually thanking me for
Speaker 1: the call about Chris Thompson. That one is for you.
Speaker 1: You know it's on the Humble. I won't even charge
Speaker 1: you for that one, okay. Also, I told you about
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. I told you that this was going to
Speaker 1: be the week that Joe Mixon joined the fray. With
Speaker 1: all these young rookie running backs like you Dalvin Cooks,
Speaker 1: like your Leonard for Netts, you know people that popped
Speaker 1: off like Kareem Hunt. I said Joe Mixon was going
Speaker 1: to join the party this week under new offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: Bill Laser, and he absolutely did a hundred and one
Speaker 1: combined yards on twenty one touches. He I believe is
Speaker 1: the ascending new back in Cincinnati. Jeremy Hill only eight touches.
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard only five touches. Mixing is the guy to own.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I also told you that I had
Speaker 1: concerned for the Dolphins. I told you the Jet we're
Speaker 1: gonna get one. People thought it was crazy. I said,
Speaker 1: get away from the Dolphins in knockout pools, because I
Speaker 1: think the Jets actually get one in this spot. I
Speaker 1: told you about Kirk Cousins as well. I said, if
Speaker 1: not now, then when. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: got some things wrong too. I can't fade that. You
Speaker 1: know I got some things wrong. Listen Buck Allen, who
Speaker 1: everybody I liked him as well? He only got twenty
Speaker 1: three carries on fourteen touches. I told you guys about
Speaker 1: how much I love pop Quiz Jock Quiz Rodgers, and
Speaker 1: he defecated the mattress, only getting five touches for fifteen yards.
Speaker 1: That entire Bucks team that got blown out of the
Speaker 1: water looks like like a Bucks can use Doug Martin back. Okay,
Speaker 1: that suspensions last thing one more week and it looks
Speaker 1: like the Bucks are gonna be ready to ride Doug Martin.
Speaker 1: If you've been saving Doug Martin, you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about this like, oh, will he get his job
Speaker 1: back or not. It's gonna be heavy Doug Martin when
Speaker 1: they come back. Also, Richard Higgins only at two catches
Speaker 1: for ten yards. People we high on him here at
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. But this is why we don't overreact. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's the same as like what we saw with Kenny
Speaker 1: Golladay after the preseason or after week one. That's what
Speaker 1: you really gotta understand. And also, you know, when we
Speaker 1: come back, I'm gonna we're gonna open up the phone lines,
Speaker 1: Okay at eight four, eight, four, three, six, eight, seven
Speaker 1: and nine. I'm gonna try and help you guys out,
Speaker 1: whether it be Monday Night football or some waiver wise
Speaker 1: if you have to deal with injuries. But also going
Speaker 1: to talk about the quarterback positional little bit more. I
Speaker 1: told you about how running back was a young man's hustle.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different for quarterback, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into that when we come back. We're still here
Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle opening up
Speaker 1: the phone lines as well. I'll take take your calls
Speaker 1: at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.
Speaker 1: You could get at me at at Spitting Speeds on Twitter.
Speaker 1: We got pulled questions up to a lot of fun
Speaker 1: and we bring it up to YouTube. Come all right back,
Speaker 1: Fantasy Free Stop Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These
Speaker 1: three NFL softmores are not due to slump, They're due
Speaker 1: to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network
Speaker 1: e year two, things are only getting better. Make sure
Speaker 1: listen live and tell o the app M and T
Speaker 1: s Y Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven
Speaker 1: the best Fantasy sports on ten. He's on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to Fantasy Freestyle right here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. At your boy, Dane
Speaker 1: Martinez Speeds and spitting Statistician holding you down. On the Monday,
Speaker 1: as we conclude week three and start to look ahead
Speaker 1: for the implications of week four, the phone lines are open.
Speaker 1: The number to call is eight four four eight four
Speaker 1: three six eight seven nine. My man Chris, but von
Speaker 1: to the Manimal. He'll take good care of you, keeping
Speaker 1: it so hot that we sweat steam. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you what we also got going on. We got that
Speaker 1: Twitter poll question up there right now. I'm asking you
Speaker 1: it's always interesting. I asked you which guy was your
Speaker 1: for gaze? I also which guy was your diamond in
Speaker 1: the rough? People are voting right now on Twitter and
Speaker 1: for the question about the diamond and the rough Peo
Speaker 1: people say other, but they don't want to say who.
Speaker 1: But the question for the gay people are so quick
Speaker 1: to comment and they want people to know who it
Speaker 1: was that them up and how like you know they
Speaker 1: had it right, you know, mentally and and and strategically,
Speaker 1: but then you know the player just did what they
Speaker 1: were not supposed to do. For example, thirty percent of
Speaker 1: you guys say Travis Kelsey is the person that was
Speaker 1: the fugais that undermined you. But then we got someone
Speaker 1: starting buck Allen over Cooks. We got someone who I
Speaker 1: like Fantasy Field report who says I took the win anyway,
Speaker 1: but Ebron and Carolina d let me down. Let me know,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I still want to check out
Speaker 1: this guy Joshua Louis Hill on Twitter that says still
Speaker 1: had girly and hunt but it got ruined by Rivers,
Speaker 1: the Ravens D and Tucker. And then also, you know,
Speaker 1: people are saying Kelsey the Ravens D. You know, also
Speaker 1: think about check this out Costa had Cooper Cup, Mike Gillesley,
Speaker 1: Devin Funch to Jack Doyle, Kenny Golladay. Wow, that's a
Speaker 1: lot all under seven points. That's a lot of people
Speaker 1: you probably lost that week. But hopefully, hopefully you know,
Speaker 1: that is like the only week it happened to get
Speaker 1: out all the good all the bad luck in one week.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we're gonna go to the phones, and
Speaker 1: we got your phones questions right now at eight four four,
Speaker 1: eight four, three six, eight seven nine. We got a
Speaker 1: couple of questions up there right now. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the first one on air here on Fantasy Freestyle. It
Speaker 1: is Dan in New Jersey talking about the Waiver Wire.
Speaker 1: Days are gonna run on Wednesday. We're gonna talk a
Speaker 1: lot of wa waiver Wire stuff on tomorrow's episode of
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle, Fat budget Waiver Priority. But Dan, you're dropping
Speaker 1: the fats over beats in New Jersey. You're on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. What's up, Dan? How's it going? Man? Um
Speaker 1: So pretty much. I'm a little tight right now, wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you my team what I got. Um, everyone
Speaker 1: got to start three wide receivers. Just keep that in
Speaker 1: my mind as well. Um, so I got Maddie Ryan
Speaker 1: Does Prior, Tree, Hill, Mortus Bryant, Macklin's Cobb, and then
Speaker 1: my running backs which doesn't matter, but Belle Howard, Gillislee,
Speaker 1: Henry and Mixing, and then um, the guys I got
Speaker 1: on well waiver wire right now is Shepherd, Seeth Roberts,
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson, Geronimo Alison, Devin Funches, Ted ginn Curse. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna stop right there because Sterling Shepherd is the answer.
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd is the answer. Okay, Sterling Shepherd is the answer.
Speaker 1: I was gonna get into this a little bit tomorrow, okay. Um,
Speaker 1: Not guys like Geronimo Allison, that's a one week kind
Speaker 1: of thing that just happened because Cobb was her Jordan's
Speaker 1: banged up. However, Sterling Shepherd is sustainable. Okay, And let
Speaker 1: me tell you a couple of reasons why. Number one,
Speaker 1: he is the number two wide receiver in this offense.
Speaker 1: It is clearly not Brandon Marshall. Sterling Shepherd is the
Speaker 1: guy who's getting the targets after old Dell Beckham. But
Speaker 1: what I've what I saw yesterday, and this is one
Speaker 1: of my points from the Giants game, is that Eli
Speaker 1: Manning is going to throw throw throw. We have been
Speaker 1: talking about the offensive line for the Giants and how
Speaker 1: bad they are, and I thought it really was about
Speaker 1: how Eli Manning was gonna get sacked a tongue. He
Speaker 1: did not get sacked as much, but that's because he's
Speaker 1: trying to get the ball out a lot and a
Speaker 1: lot quicker. What has happened is that the running game
Speaker 1: for the Giants has been absolutely trashed, and that is
Speaker 1: not going to change. What I believe it could happen
Speaker 1: is that the Giants are going to uh pretty much
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, abandon the running game and
Speaker 1: they're gonna ask Eli Manning to put the ball up
Speaker 1: forty five times every game. You're gonna see Eli two
Speaker 1: for three hundred some odd yards. They're going to throw
Speaker 1: the ball almost all of the time in their three
Speaker 1: wide receivers set, and Sterling Shepherd is the number two
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I believe Sterling Shepherd is a great ad
Speaker 1: and someone who will carry value throughout the rest of
Speaker 1: the season, not be just one of these one off
Speaker 1: kind of guys. We got Dan in West Texas. Dan
Speaker 1: in West Texas has a question about a trade of
Speaker 1: two big boys that he wants to ask about. Dan,
Speaker 1: you're in Texas. You're dropping stats over beats on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Hey, what's up? Guys? Thanks for
Speaker 1: taking my call. Yeah, so, my mother in law wants
Speaker 1: to trade me Tom Brady for Levy on Bill. All right,
Speaker 1: and first of all, thanks for the call stand scoring.
Speaker 1: Thanks so that that's important information. Dan. I love that
Speaker 1: you're in your league with your mother in law. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the kind of dynamic is there, who's winning,
Speaker 1: who has the power at all? So I don't want
Speaker 1: to get too crazy. I do gotta ask you, Dan, though,
Speaker 1: who's your quarterback? Now? That's the big question. Uh So
Speaker 1: I have Tom Brady, um, but then I also have
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan on my bench. Oh so the Tom you
Speaker 1: you have Tom Brady? Okay, if you have Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and you have Matt Ryan on your bench, sure, yeah.
Speaker 1: If if someone wants to give you a stud like
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell for Tom Brady go and do it
Speaker 1: right now. This Atlanta Falcon's offense. Like I said, it's
Speaker 1: scary and sustainable. If you can get mat still have
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, the drop is really not that big if
Speaker 1: it's a drop at all. And if you could acquire
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell, I think you'd do it. I do
Speaker 1: you do it and then run and thank me later.
Speaker 1: But then again, if mom, if your mom in law
Speaker 1: has to win, I kind of understand, but yes, I
Speaker 1: would definitely do this. I would take Levy on Bell
Speaker 1: back for TV twelve. But the reason is because you
Speaker 1: have Matt Ryan that you could plug and play right away.
Speaker 1: We got another question and Shannon and Shannon's in Georgia.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Shannon also has a trade question, Like
Speaker 1: I think it's great. So many people like proposed trades
Speaker 1: on Monday. Don't get twisted by the recency bias. Shannon,
Speaker 1: did this trade have someone who really did really really
Speaker 1: good or really really bad last week? I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you that, you know, you know, pump the brakes on it.
Speaker 1: But Shannon, what's your trade? What do we got? Okay? Um, well,
Speaker 1: first of all, let me say thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of bad three weeks with running back.
Speaker 1: I lost David Johnson week one Kelly, and then I
Speaker 1: lost uh spouse. So I was wondering if I should
Speaker 1: ship off Mary Cooper. But because he's been pretty bad
Speaker 1: for me, because I'm pretty stacked that well I received,
Speaker 1: I can take losing him. I just wanted to know
Speaker 1: if you thought it would be good to ship off
Speaker 1: a Mary Cooper for either Murray or Howard uh So.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Shannon, And the short answer to
Speaker 1: your question is yes, if you've been listening to the
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle, I'm a little down on a Marie Cooper, Okay.
Speaker 1: I actually think Michael Crabtree is the wide receiver of
Speaker 1: note out there in Oakland. I think he's better than
Speaker 1: a Marie Cooper. And if you've been having if you
Speaker 1: have Cooper on your team, you know that what's been
Speaker 1: killing him of these drops. He has something like five
Speaker 1: drops already, and that is something that could drive you wild. Listen, Shannon,
Speaker 1: you said you are ready, um are okay at wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So if you can uh get rid of a Marie Cooper,
Speaker 1: and if that doesn't have a huge hurt to your
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver then yes, and you mentioned Jordan Howard
Speaker 1: or DeMarco Murray. I would rather have DeMarco Murray than
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard. So if the DeMarco Murray owner is in
Speaker 1: trade negotiations with you, yeah, absolutely, I would trade Cooper
Speaker 1: for Murray. Even though, uh you know, Derrick Henry is
Speaker 1: over there in Tennessee. I would not be concerned about that.
Speaker 1: I like DeMarco Murray. If you can withstand the loss
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position, go ahead and take it.
Speaker 1: We got Renee in Connecticut. Renee is in Connecticut. Renee
Speaker 1: calls the Fantasy Freestyle all the time, happy to help
Speaker 1: you out, Renee. How can we what can we do
Speaker 1: for your right now? As we close out Week three,
Speaker 1: you're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle night,
Speaker 1: Hey Street, So how's it going, man? Um? I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say your your last segment, I think on
Speaker 1: Friday or Thursday you you made mention to h the
Speaker 1: whole PR thing with the the hurricane, and I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say, you know, I finally got contact with
Speaker 1: my father, and uh, you know, even though I lost
Speaker 1: my match this week, just being able to hear from
Speaker 1: my dad it was. It was really satisfying and knowing
Speaker 1: that everything was okay over there. So I appreciate you,
Speaker 1: you know, mentioning that and getting spreading word about any
Speaker 1: organizations that are out there, because you know, PR is
Speaker 1: in the really best spot. So I just want to
Speaker 1: say I appreciate that absolutely, absolutely, really. I have family
Speaker 1: and I Bonito and in Ponce as well that I
Speaker 1: found my stepfather found an app that works as kind
Speaker 1: of like a walkie talkie. Because I know so many
Speaker 1: people are still without power and they're gonna be without
Speaker 1: power for a while. There's apps out there that you
Speaker 1: could use kind of like a walkie talkie if you
Speaker 1: still haven't gotten in touch with your loved ones. There
Speaker 1: is no shortage of disasters. We need to together as uh.
Speaker 1: You know, unlike some people with their divisive comments, we
Speaker 1: need to come together and really help those in need.
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you, Renee. Uh. Let's spend it
Speaker 1: onto football, my man. How can I help you moving forward? Yes, sir?
Speaker 1: So should I give up on cam Um? Because this
Speaker 1: is the sky he basically you know, three interceptions. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just doing interceptions money touchdowns at this point? So
Speaker 1: should I just give up? On him and wrote, I
Speaker 1: got Alex Smith on my bench, I should I go
Speaker 1: for somebody that's maybe on the waiver wire. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the call, Renee. I gotta tell you something. As soon
Speaker 1: as you said Cam, you know my I felt crestfallen
Speaker 1: because one of the things that I wanted to mention
Speaker 1: in my Biggest Takeaways is that something's not right with
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Okay, something's not right with Cam Newton. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the time has come. If you listen to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle, and I know you do, Renee, I
Speaker 1: was saying last week that, like, if not now, then
Speaker 1: when he threw three picks. This was against the Saints,
Speaker 1: this was at home, and now Kevin Benjamin, Calvin Benjamin's
Speaker 1: even banged up. Yes, I think it is time to
Speaker 1: sound the alarm and cut the cord on Cam. I
Speaker 1: thought this offense was gonna evolve. You didn't have to
Speaker 1: practice trips in preseason. He's got an ankle, he's got
Speaker 1: a shoulder. Yes, I think it is time to cut
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I don't think you need him anymore. Alex
Speaker 1: Smith is someone you're gonna have to ride out in
Speaker 1: the interim. What I want you to do Renee is
Speaker 1: call me back later on run in the week and
Speaker 1: let me know what your options are. I'll continue to
Speaker 1: help you out and hope you and yours are safe
Speaker 1: out there in Puerto Rico as well. We got time
Speaker 1: for one more call in this segment. It's my man
Speaker 1: Taco and Obama. Taco. You're back on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: How can I help you? How you doing this week?
Speaker 1: Many two and one? What do we got? I will know, Tonine.
Speaker 1: I'm six points down with Zeke and Fitz left to go.
Speaker 1: You're good, You're good, baby? Um. I want to know
Speaker 1: was Zeke's uh? Was zikerou coming up? Who in the
Speaker 1: world is his? Is his handcuff? Last week Rod Smith's
Speaker 1: only other one that got carries? Is it Alfred Morris?
Speaker 1: Is Darren McFadden? Who is it? Yeah, that's a great question.
Speaker 1: That's a great question, Taco, and I know that. Yes.
Speaker 1: One thing you should know is that the court date
Speaker 1: has been set for the first week in October. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna be okay for the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: As it relates to Zeke. Okay, I think the answer
Speaker 1: is actually Alfred Morris. It could be Darren McFadden. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Tuco. You've got a little bit of time,
Speaker 1: so you need to watch Monday night and see you
Speaker 1: need to watch tonight and see who is that number
Speaker 1: two who comes on? I think it is Alfred Morris,
Speaker 1: although it could be Darren McFadden. Well I would go
Speaker 1: with Alfred Morris right now, but you got a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks to find out. Okay, we gotta hit a break.
Speaker 1: I got one more call out there that we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to when we come back. John in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: hopbull tight. You're gonna be dropping statles beats on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle right after this with your boy Speez and
Speaker 1: spin Statistician. Come on right back, guys. Have you ever
Speaker 1: wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of
Speaker 1: your hand, but, better yet, in the pocket of your Cathy's.
Speaker 1: We'll check it out now you can. It's a fantasy
Speaker 1: sports randi Upo network app. Download it down to your phone.
Speaker 1: We promised, no weird viruses, no strange tracking things, just
Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day, seven days a week of
Speaker 1: pure fantasy knowledge dropping all over your head. It's a
Speaker 1: Fantasy sports radio network app. Stop being a weirdo and
Speaker 1: streaming it online, get it on your phone, take it
Speaker 1: where you ever, where you go. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. Right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: I'm your boy. Dame Martinez speeds the spitting statistician holding
Speaker 1: you down. As we close out week three, some people
Speaker 1: have injury risks to worry about if they had, say,
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls in their lineup, they had some G. P.
Speaker 1: Ryan in their lineup, if they had Dug Baldwin in
Speaker 1: their lineup. And if you want to call in and
Speaker 1: none understand what you need to do in response in the
Speaker 1: the number of call is eight four four eight four
Speaker 1: three six eight seven nine. We also have you know,
Speaker 1: Twitter polls up there right now. I want to know
Speaker 1: who your diamond in the rough and your fool gazze.
Speaker 1: He was right now the biggest fool gayze. He was
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey who only had one catch. I believe at
Speaker 1: thirty percent of the people have him as their biggest
Speaker 1: fool gazey. A lot of people liked having Johnson in
Speaker 1: their lineups as well. Only fifty two owned. But he
Speaker 1: might be the back moving forward in Cleveland because Isaiah
Speaker 1: crow Well was not doing it. Like I said. You
Speaker 1: could hit me on the phone at eight four four
Speaker 1: eight four three six eight seven nine. You could also
Speaker 1: holler at me on Twitter at spitting speeds as they handle.
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you something, all right. I know
Speaker 1: I had a lot of people asking me questions right
Speaker 1: before kickoff at one p m. I am on live
Speaker 1: at Lineup Lock Live right here on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio network. Tune in and asked will answer them on
Speaker 1: this show. I do have a question from Twitter I
Speaker 1: want to address right before we go to the Phone's
Speaker 1: uh Malachai mob out there on Twitter is asking should
Speaker 1: I trade Kenny Golladay for markis Lee. I say, yes, Okay, Golladay.
Speaker 1: It was one of these darlings that popped off. But
Speaker 1: you gotta think as things set like this, And this
Speaker 1: is one of the things I always mentioned, like Golladay
Speaker 1: is really like the sixth option in Detroit. And I
Speaker 1: talk about these offenses, I call them some greater than
Speaker 1: their parts kind of offenses. Let's listen Stafford, who is
Speaker 1: playing like an m VP candidate. You know, he's got
Speaker 1: Golden Tap, he's got Marvin Jones, he's got Eric Ebron,
Speaker 1: he's got Theo Riddick, he's got a mere Rob Doula,
Speaker 1: and now he has Kenny Golladay. But there's too much
Speaker 1: to go around. Mark Heasley and Jacksonville, however, is like
Speaker 1: the number one or two options along with you know,
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns. So so so absolutely to Maliki out there on Twitter,
Speaker 1: yes I make that trade. And thanks for the follow
Speaker 1: thanks for asking me questions. I'm trying to help you
Speaker 1: guys out. I was just inundated on Sunday, so I'm
Speaker 1: sorry if I didn't get to you. All right, So um,
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones. Next one we got
Speaker 1: on the phone right now is John in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: I'll be taking as many calls I can this segment.
Speaker 1: John and North Carolina. You are dropping stats over beats
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle talking about a trade potentially for
Speaker 1: Beast Mode. Yeah. So um, I appreciate to appreciate taking
Speaker 1: my call. And I just want to say, first of all,
Speaker 1: I remember calling a couple of weeks ago and he
Speaker 1: told me to pick up Tyreek Cohen. Good call man,
Speaker 1: that that good kids see something special. Absolutely, yeah, so
Speaker 1: a fards the trade goes, it's uh, I got Stefan
Speaker 1: dig and Tyreek Hill and somebody wants to trade either
Speaker 1: one of those for Marshawn Lynch. Is this a PPR
Speaker 1: or standard league? It's a standard I I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it. Man, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: And John, you have you mentioned two people that are
Speaker 1: very close to my heart on my personal fantasy team. Okay,
Speaker 1: my like biggest home league that I care about the most.
Speaker 1: I have Stefon Diggs and I have Tyreek Hill. So
Speaker 1: it was very easy to kind of put myself in
Speaker 1: your in in in your mind. And no, it's in
Speaker 1: a standard league. I don't think Marshawn Lynch. Listen, Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lynch is a kind of guy. He is kind of
Speaker 1: almost touchdown dependent. He's not gonna do much in the
Speaker 1: passing game, and he's a guy that the Raiders care
Speaker 1: more about his real carries and attempts than really the Rs.
Speaker 1: They're just trying to wear you down. I don't know
Speaker 1: that the production is necessarily gonna be there. He's touchdown dependent. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Digs or Hill can pop off on any given week.
Speaker 1: You saw it yesterday with Stephen Can you digs it?
Speaker 1: And thanks for calling John remember me. Yeah, Terry Cohen
Speaker 1: is gonna be special. He's gonna be a thing. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you listened to me there on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: We got time for a couple more callers. I got
Speaker 1: a J. A J is in Tampa. A J. How
Speaker 1: can I help you? You You got a trade question out there?
Speaker 1: I hope we're not overreacting the week three? How can
Speaker 1: I help you? Dropping stats overbeats on the Fantasy Freestyle?
Speaker 1: So it was good with you, man? I got a
Speaker 1: trade for t Y Hilton for Chris Thompson. Is this
Speaker 1: PPR or standard PPR? And I got O'Dell, Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: and Keenan Allen at white receiver. You already have those guys, huh.
Speaker 1: So you gotta don't need t e Y. I can't
Speaker 1: believe I'm gonna say this, but in a PPR format
Speaker 1: if you already have wide receivers and you just don't
Speaker 1: want to deal with the headache that is t Y Hilton. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: this volume is in the Washington offense is gonna go
Speaker 1: through Chris Thompson, whether Rob Kelly comes back or not,
Speaker 1: some a g p ron comes back or not. Chris
Speaker 1: Thompson is gonna be a real thing that continues, especially
Speaker 1: in PPR format. They want him on the field. I
Speaker 1: said it at the beginning of the season. He is
Speaker 1: the Washington back to own. I would have never thought
Speaker 1: this at the beginning of the season, but yeah, t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton is gonna regress. Yeah, he popped off and
Speaker 1: had a great game yesterday, but you really think you
Speaker 1: can count on that week to week. Listen when Angel
Speaker 1: Luck comes back, and maybe he will in about a month,
Speaker 1: then you might be kicking yourself. But it sounds like
Speaker 1: you have some other wide receivers that can hold you
Speaker 1: down if you need the help at running back. I
Speaker 1: don't hate this. I think it's crazy at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the season, but I don't hate this. I think
Speaker 1: Chris Thominson is gonna sustain value for the majority of
Speaker 1: the season. Next up on the Fantasy Freestyle is Eddie. Eddie,
Speaker 1: you are in album perkey. We got a question. It
Speaker 1: looks like about tonight's game out there in out there
Speaker 1: in the desert, how can I help you? Dropping stats
Speaker 1: over beats Eddie. Alright, guys, so I'm down by two
Speaker 1: points PPR scoring, Do I play Dez Charence Williams or
Speaker 1: Coldly or cold Beasley. You're down by two in PPR scoring. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the guy I'm playing has Arizona's kicker Dawson. All right, um, alright, listen,
Speaker 1: Dez is gonna have Patrick Peterson on him. I think
Speaker 1: there is a chance. Listen, there have been games when
Speaker 1: Dez is on big time cornerbacks opposing him. You know,
Speaker 1: whether it's Genores Jenkins for the Giant Ins or some
Speaker 1: other like Richard Sherman in Seattle. And Patrick Peterson falls
Speaker 1: in that category, he goes away. You know who won't
Speaker 1: go away as Cole Beasley. Cole Beasley, especially in PPR scoring,
Speaker 1: is gonna get at you four or five catches tonight.
Speaker 1: If you want to be safe. I think Cole Beasley
Speaker 1: is actually the way to go if you need to
Speaker 1: be safe. Yes, Dead Bryant can pop off and get
Speaker 1: you two touchdowns, but I don't think that's gonna happen
Speaker 1: against Patrick Peterson. And the funny part is, Eddie, I
Speaker 1: think you knew that also before you called in. I
Speaker 1: think you just wanted to hear me validated for you.
Speaker 1: You would only be making this call if you were
Speaker 1: kind of off DEAs yourself. So I'm gonna get double
Speaker 1: down and validate that for you. I'm I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit leary of Patrick Peterson maybe completely shutting out deads.
Speaker 1: I think Cold Beasley will not get shut out. And
Speaker 1: I think Cold Beasley maybe the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
Speaker 1: to go with. We only got two more questions we've
Speaker 1: got time for out here on the fantasy Freestyle. I
Speaker 1: got cheeko out in Callie. You're dropping stats over beats
Speaker 1: on the fantasy freestyle. How can we help you on this?
Speaker 1: You know, maybe it's stuck on the four oh five
Speaker 1: or something out there in rush hour. Now out there
Speaker 1: in Calli, Chico, how can we help you on the
Speaker 1: fantasy Freestyle? How's it going? Man? I have a longtime listener, uh,
Speaker 1: second time caller. Right off Friday, I didn't speak with
Speaker 1: Mike Medita or yourself. Spoke with some other dude, some
Speaker 1: young dude and some old dude that's kind of like loud.
Speaker 1: But um, let me just talk to you about the
Speaker 1: advice I got, I gotta, I got keen now and
Speaker 1: stefon digs Uh Tyoree killed DeVante Parker and uh I
Speaker 1: was told to bench Uh Stefan Diggs. You already know
Speaker 1: how that how that went. I got three defenses, the Ravens,
Speaker 1: the doll Fence playing the Jets, the Patriots put in Houston,
Speaker 1: and uh, I was told to start the Ravens. I mean, granted,
Speaker 1: I didn't listen to you guys about the defense at
Speaker 1: all because I didn't like the logic. I knew the
Speaker 1: Ravens had played subpart competition and the Jaguars went to
Speaker 1: Wimbledon or wherever that chat five years in a row.
Speaker 1: Now Ravens first time over there. Yeah, jet lag So uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's pretty cool. I noticed, especially the black
Speaker 1: dude that with Matt Modega. But the dude all Friday
Speaker 1: that was kind of loud man. Forgive him that advice
Speaker 1: that you need to check his ego at the door.
Speaker 1: But for the rest of you all, I like what
Speaker 1: you were saying. You guys have pretty good insight. Just
Speaker 1: I'd like, I'd like if you guys cross reference a
Speaker 1: few more things. But definly let you guys in my
Speaker 1: two cents that you have known that almost cost me
Speaker 1: a win. But I do got kareem hunt. After David
Speaker 1: Johnson went out, I packed them up and I make
Speaker 1: the right starts. So it sounds like you're in a
Speaker 1: good shape, Chico. Listen, man, on a week to week basis,
Speaker 1: we try and give you the information. But I think
Speaker 1: you're right, Chico. What you have to do is take
Speaker 1: everything with a fine tooth comb, and you still ultimately
Speaker 1: have to be the matter, you know, kind of in
Speaker 1: charge of your own destiny. It sounds like you did
Speaker 1: that with the defense. Obviously, the Stefon Digs call A
Speaker 1: told you to take that out. You know, they were
Speaker 1: thinking that case Keenum because he had a bad game
Speaker 1: with the backup the previous week. You know, so I
Speaker 1: can understand that as well. But you know, people who
Speaker 1: were without Stefon dig certainly we're not happy about that.
Speaker 1: But listen, Chico, if you got a question later on
Speaker 1: in the week, I'll be sure to try to help
Speaker 1: you out. But the truth is, you gotta go with
Speaker 1: your gut. We hear, we are experts. You can give
Speaker 1: you what we can, but ultimately, you know we can
Speaker 1: make you know, we could make a story almost out
Speaker 1: of anything, right, and so who knows, um, But I
Speaker 1: hear you and call on back. I'll try to help
Speaker 1: you out if you can we got to have a
Speaker 1: one last question on the Fantasy Freestyle. It is Mark
Speaker 1: in New York. Mark, we're bringing it back home here
Speaker 1: in New York, right outside Studio thirty four, here in
Speaker 1: Rock and Riley's. Hey, Mark, you're in New York. When
Speaker 1: are you gonna come by and see me over here
Speaker 1: at Rock and Riley Studio thirty four. Will buy a drink,
Speaker 1: we'll watch the game together. How can I help you?
Speaker 1: You man? Thanks? Um, I'm a little stuck for my flesh. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I have crab Tree, Tyreek Hill, Wendell's small Wood
Speaker 1: or Terence West for next week. So so listen, uh
Speaker 1: and is it PPR No? All right? And Standard? First
Speaker 1: of all, Crabtree, if you remember, Crabtree got banged up
Speaker 1: a little bit in Sunday Night Football, so we gotta
Speaker 1: get word. I believe it was a chest injury. So
Speaker 1: we gotta get word on how he's doing. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: so you know that's still up in the air. Um,
Speaker 1: these two guys. If it's standard. If it's standard, I
Speaker 1: think when the Smallwood is gonna get the bulk of
Speaker 1: the work in Philadelphia and they got the Chargers next week,
Speaker 1: I think Smallwood is gonna be an ascending back and
Speaker 1: could be like a low RB two, could be a
Speaker 1: flex there for Philadelphia. So right now I'm going with
Speaker 1: small Wood, but you never know, given what crabtrees health
Speaker 1: could be. Thanks to everybody for the calls. Okay, I
Speaker 1: wanted to also let you guys know. Remember I said
Speaker 1: running back is a young man's hustle. Well, uh, quarterback
Speaker 1: is kind of like a mid career hustle. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you why. You could add big Ben and
Speaker 1: Rivers to some of these older sunsetting quarterbacks that go
Speaker 1: on the same breath as Eli and Carson Palmer. But
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford. They
Speaker 1: are now in the sweet spot where they are smart
Speaker 1: enough to read the mail and know how to make
Speaker 1: the changes. And then also you know they're not too
Speaker 1: old where they've lost their skills. I really think we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about this a little bit more. Quarterback is
Speaker 1: a mid career hustle, whereas running back is a young
Speaker 1: man's hustle. When we come hack on the Fantasy freestyle,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what I felt was the best
Speaker 1: sound around yesterday and all the anthem protests and what
Speaker 1: was really going on and how people are disassociating, you know,
Speaker 1: patriotism with the flag and the kneeling. Come on back
Speaker 1: my two cents on that Fantasy Freestyle. Fantasy Freestyle, Darren
Speaker 1: Spoils broke his arm and tore his a c L
Speaker 1: in that game against the Giants. Looks like his season
Speaker 1: is definitely over. And there was a lot of noise
Speaker 1: that this was gonna be Darren sproles his final season,
Speaker 1: so it could be the end of the career of
Speaker 1: Darren Spoils. I gotta tell you, man, this has been
Speaker 1: a guy who has been doing it for years, whether
Speaker 1: it had been in San Diego, in New Orleans, or
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Really one of a kind in the NFL
Speaker 1: for this generation. Week days from seven to a p m. E.
Speaker 1: Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network with up in stats over Meat, which your boy
Speaker 1: Dane Martinez feed the spitting statistician. I told you that. Listen.
Speaker 1: We saw um historic day across the NFL yesterday with
Speaker 1: the response that the NFL had in what was a
Speaker 1: peaceful protest, uh to the comments of our president, who
Speaker 1: you know, was calling them s O B s. A
Speaker 1: lot of people said it was divisive. A lot of
Speaker 1: people said that, you know, they they needed Sean Payton said,
Speaker 1: we expect more wisdom in the office. I think it's
Speaker 1: really interesting that this is the battle that is being
Speaker 1: picked by the commander in tweets UM, this idea that
Speaker 1: you have to really pick sides, you know, and really
Speaker 1: it's about labeling people as are you patriotic? Are you
Speaker 1: for social justice? Are you like you know? Are you
Speaker 1: uh with Nascar? Are you kneeling? And that's really what
Speaker 1: the commander and tweets is doing. And there was so
Speaker 1: many things that were out there, but I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you one that really resonated with me is Lorenzo Alexander,
Speaker 1: the linebacker. Here's what he had to say in the
Speaker 1: post game UM in terms of what he was doing
Speaker 1: around the anthem and more to support his brothers in
Speaker 1: arms in with the shield of the NFL. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously it was in a response to our president's comments
Speaker 1: UM as far as calling people that were peacefully protesting
Speaker 1: s O b s and for me UM with the
Speaker 1: back drop being uh Charlotteville and calling neo Nazis and
Speaker 1: kkk A members you know, find people and it's a
Speaker 1: it's a making that comparison and drawing off a hard
Speaker 1: lives NFL president for doing something peaceful. UM really touched me. UM,
Speaker 1: because the guys that have taken an are trying to
Speaker 1: bring awareness to UH some social injustice and inquiries that
Speaker 1: we have in this country. Doesn't mean that they're not patriots,
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they don't love their country, because we do.
Speaker 1: We have great polyvilege privileges here. But as members of
Speaker 1: being a un US citizen, I also want to call,
Speaker 1: you know, bring a TITCHI to things that need to
Speaker 1: need change. And today I near it. I won't continue
Speaker 1: to nil, but I just wanted to nele to show
Speaker 1: those guys that I had their back, um, and that
Speaker 1: we're with them. UM. But I'm also with our military,
Speaker 1: with our country. But I don't think you can put
Speaker 1: us all in just a box and you have to
Speaker 1: draw a line. I have to be either for my
Speaker 1: country or for social justice. I think I can be
Speaker 1: for everything. So that's Lorenzo Alexander Linebacker. I believe in
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and I think the point that he
Speaker 1: makes that is the one that I do, in fact
Speaker 1: want to reinforce, is that this labeling is really a
Speaker 1: big part of the issue. Whether you're labeled as crooked Hillary,
Speaker 1: whether you're labeled as fake news, whether you're labeled as
Speaker 1: you know, an s ob, whether you're labeled as a
Speaker 1: nice person. We could be so many things, a compilation
Speaker 1: of so many things, whether you're liberal or conservative or progressive.
Speaker 1: And we all are part of the United States of America,
Speaker 1: and here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, it's almost
Speaker 1: like football is the religion of this country. So I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be very interesting to see if the
Speaker 1: NFL continues to be part of the culture wars. But
Speaker 1: we're here to talk about football, and there is a
Speaker 1: football game tonight as the Cowboys go to the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: This narrative I've been talking about four week three of
Speaker 1: the home Dogs, and so I'm gonna keep on going
Speaker 1: with it. I think Atlanta, I mean Arizona could get
Speaker 1: the job done. I think there was something of a
Speaker 1: blueprint um last week with the Denver Broncos, and they
Speaker 1: really tried to shut down Zeke stacked the box and
Speaker 1: force Dak to beat you with his arm. The problem
Speaker 1: is now with Dez Bryant covered with Patrick Peterson, and
Speaker 1: I don't believe he'll be able to get as much
Speaker 1: separation you got the honey Badger there on Jason Witten.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Dac is gonna be able to
Speaker 1: put the ball where it needs to be. Remember, Dak
Speaker 1: had only four interceptions all of last year. He had
Speaker 1: to last week when the Denver Broncos plagued with this approach.
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Arizona Cardinals will do. Try
Speaker 1: to line up all fifty three men in the box
Speaker 1: against Zekiel Elliott and then force Dak to beat them
Speaker 1: with his arm and keep coverage on Dez with Patrick Peterson,
Speaker 1: keep coverage with the honey Badger on Jason Witten. That's
Speaker 1: why the previous caller, I actually think Cole Beasley is
Speaker 1: the way to go, in the safe way for that
Speaker 1: person to win their matchup there down too, I think
Speaker 1: they could get it done with Cole Beasley. We'll be
Speaker 1: back talking about free agents and fat budgets and waiver
Speaker 1: wire ads and looking ahead till Week four. As we
Speaker 1: bring it back tomorrow, dropping stats over beats on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle two boy Dame Martinez, speed and spitting statistician,
Speaker 1: and you'll be listening to the world famous AS Award
