Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are
Speaker 1: now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. You are now swoons into the speeds
Speaker 1: and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Off next on that
Speaker 1: safer on the microphone. You know that I'm one of
Speaker 1: the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is. It's
Speaker 1: your point, Dane Martinez, a k A. Speed k a
Speaker 1: to spitting Statistician a k a to stable genius and
Speaker 1: vocal minority. And welcome to another edition other Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode number four
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three. It is the four hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty three leaning of the stats over Beat Cipher where
Speaker 1: we help you win your leagues and win that cash,
Speaker 1: and we try to put a little fun and functional
Speaker 1: sports content. At the same time. We got a big
Speaker 1: show for you. Week fourteen of the NFL season is
Speaker 1: almost in the books. We got Monday Night Football. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that and what looks like it's gonna be
Speaker 1: taking place from a rainy Philadelphia. And you know what, Danny,
Speaker 1: it's weird because I thought it was always sunny in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: So we gotta figure that one out. But we will
Speaker 1: do what we usually do here on a Monday, and
Speaker 1: it's incredibly important because it is playoff time in fantasy football,
Speaker 1: all right, and so everything becomes magnified. All the injuries
Speaker 1: that happened, the game of inches that happened, right, the
Speaker 1: next man up that happened, this is all magnified now
Speaker 1: that you are in a must win scenario. Moving forward. Okay,
Speaker 1: I personally started this season and like I think seven
Speaker 1: or eight leagues, I was in five playoffs. I still,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm live in some of them. I had
Speaker 1: byes in some of them. I don't like how it
Speaker 1: went to be quite honest, I have one team that
Speaker 1: I was all good because I had a by, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that team had Mike Evans on it. That team had
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker on it. You know what I mean. That
Speaker 1: team I'm struggling with guys like James Conner on it.
Speaker 1: So the by did not necessarily help. But we'll get
Speaker 1: into that. I'm speaking about some of these names. Let's
Speaker 1: start there. These are the names you need to know
Speaker 1: next week and watch them because there was a boatload.
Speaker 1: It seemed like a mash unit last week, Like there
Speaker 1: are some weeks when I'm preparing here and we're talking
Speaker 1: about like the waiver wire, and I'm like, there's not
Speaker 1: that many places you need to pivot because there weren't
Speaker 1: too many injuries. I can't say that yesterday, and it
Speaker 1: seemed like they all happened in the one o'cock games
Speaker 1: and like bang bang bang, All right, So DeVante Parker
Speaker 1: he got concussed and left in the second quarter. Remember
Speaker 1: I've been riding that streak with him, and so have
Speaker 1: you if you've been following this been statistician. He got concussed.
Speaker 1: Darius Guice, you know we loved areus guys? Oh and
Speaker 1: by the way, I gave out the prop bet on
Speaker 1: Darius Geice yesterday it was over forty and a half.
Speaker 1: It went up to forty one and a half. Dude
Speaker 1: had five carries for forty two yards before he had
Speaker 1: the knee injury. That's why you got a shop around.
Speaker 1: There were some books where you had to get that
Speaker 1: at forty three, forty four yards and even wind up
Speaker 1: with forty two before getting banged out with a knee injury,
Speaker 1: which looks like it's gonna be an issue. Looks like
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss time. Mike Evans with the hamstring. Bruce
Speaker 1: Arians came out and said today looks like he's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be done for the year with only three weeks left.
Speaker 1: That sucks. Mark Andrews with the knee. They saying he
Speaker 1: may have avoided serious issues because it may be just
Speaker 1: a contusion. Mark Andrew's the great tight end now second
Speaker 1: year tight end of the Baltimore Ravens. The tight end
Speaker 1: issues were not done. Jared Cook after catching two first
Speaker 1: quarter touchdowns, he gets concussed. Vance McDonald, vance and make
Speaker 1: them dance. He gets concussed. So listen, Andrew's Cook McDonald.
Speaker 1: Those are all viable tight ends. So we will tell
Speaker 1: you later on in the show where to pivot to
Speaker 1: in the UH in the waiver wires, I got one
Speaker 1: or two that you could definitely use if you still
Speaker 1: need that are like less than owned if you still
Speaker 1: need a tight end. Okay, Audentate alright with an ankle,
Speaker 1: he's gone both Scarborough got banged up with ribs. Check
Speaker 1: out for him. Rashad Penny, that's gonna be a problem.
Speaker 1: He's gone now for Seattle. That means all the Carson,
Speaker 1: all the time. Jamis Winston has a fracture in his
Speaker 1: hand that he's gonna get a second opinion on. Okay,
Speaker 1: this could be big time issues for the Tampa Bay Bucks.
Speaker 1: And you wanted shares of Tampa Bay in fantasy right there?
Speaker 1: The number three scoring offense, Jamie is through for like
Speaker 1: four fifty something yesterday. Um, Dwayne Haskins with an ankle. Now,
Speaker 1: if you needed Dwayne Haskins to get you through your
Speaker 1: fantasy semifinals, we should have a different conversation. But what
Speaker 1: about DJ Chark in a walking boot that probably helped
Speaker 1: hurt a playoff team? What about Calvin Ridley because of
Speaker 1: his abdomen he's going to I r now out. But
Speaker 1: about Noah offense with a foot? There's another tight end?
Speaker 1: All right? These are people that may have been in
Speaker 1: the starting lineup of teams that finished, you know, in
Speaker 1: fourth place or better. We're talking about guys like Parker,
Speaker 1: like Chark, like Bridley, like Evans and three legit tight ends.
Speaker 1: This was a mass unit of a day, and of
Speaker 1: course it happens in a lot of settings. When you
Speaker 1: can't even make any changes anymore, there's very little for
Speaker 1: you to be able to do about it. That's why
Speaker 1: we told you in weeks you know, ten, eleven, and
Speaker 1: twelve to prepare for this by cutting your wide receiver
Speaker 1: five and bolstering up the depth in places like this.
Speaker 1: And we will tell you as we go on in
Speaker 1: the show how to respond if you got hurt. But
Speaker 1: there's also listen listen Odell Beckham. Now you know we're
Speaker 1: hearing this in Cleveland about did the training staff handle
Speaker 1: it right? Baker throwing them out over the bus, under
Speaker 1: of the bus, the medical staff. You know, Odell may
Speaker 1: not even be in Cleveland next year. But Baker, why
Speaker 1: do you have to talk about this? You're supposed to be,
Speaker 1: you know, part of what takes the Browns away from
Speaker 1: being a laughing stock. You're talking in g Q, you're
Speaker 1: talking about other quarterbacks. You're talking about Duke Johnson's contract,
Speaker 1: you're talking about now, the medical staff, you're talking about
Speaker 1: your former coach, you Jackson. How about you just shut
Speaker 1: the hell up, you know, and like just just worry
Speaker 1: about your division wins you've had over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati recently,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But that's going on. Oh
Speaker 1: and late breaking news literally in the last few hours,
Speaker 1: there was a story out there that apparently there was
Speaker 1: a videographer filming the Cincinnati Bengals sidelines yesterday, team employee
Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots, and then they had security
Speaker 1: ask them and they said, no, no, no, we're just
Speaker 1: filming for a documentary. Yeah, who did the Patriots playing
Speaker 1: next week? The Cincinnati Bengals. So I ask you. The
Speaker 1: footage they got though, was not like roll. It was
Speaker 1: of the coaches relaying signals into this play. And you
Speaker 1: need to do this against the Cincinnati Bengals. That's what
Speaker 1: it meant when you were onto Cincinnati. They just keep
Speaker 1: on cheating, y'all. They just keep on cheating, and no
Speaker 1: wonder because look, they don't have the talent to get
Speaker 1: it done anymore. I'll talk a little bit more about
Speaker 1: that on the other side of the break. I do
Speaker 1: want to let you guys know we gotta pull question
Speaker 1: up on Twitter as well. You can always follow me
Speaker 1: at spitting speeds. I want to know which division now
Speaker 1: in the NFL are you most interested to see the
Speaker 1: way it'll play out NFC West with the Seahawks and
Speaker 1: the Niners, What about the Packers and the Vikings in
Speaker 1: the North, the a f C South Man Texans, and
Speaker 1: Titans is gonna be interesting? Or what about the Booby Prize.
Speaker 1: Someone's got to win the NFC East, Right, which division
Speaker 1: are you most intriguing? Hit me up on Twitter. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about our takeaways. What I got right, what I
Speaker 1: got wrong. On the other side of the break is
Speaker 1: fantasy Freestyle up. So four twenty three dosa come all right?
Speaker 1: Back in sports. Great NFL seasons in ALFA, so you
Speaker 1: can be on the eighth person awaen one million dollars

Speaker 1: All right, it's a little early jay Z. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Danny Otto, we gotta put you onto
Speaker 1: some early jay Z. But we're back Episode four twenty
Speaker 1: three of The Fantasy Freestyle, where you win your leagues
Speaker 1: and win their catch and stats over beat the site.
Speaker 1: From the chat room, Lance Davis asking a lot of questions. No,
Speaker 1: I am not worried about Lamar Jackson. Yes, I know
Speaker 1: if Pork Fried Rice Geys has done and um no
Speaker 1: Baker has yet to comment on Lizzo's outfit. Um, but
Speaker 1: the Rikishi trending is absolutely ridiculous. A propos but absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about that right now. Ben,
Speaker 1: I know that you may miss on Thursday. So listen,
Speaker 1: I've been talking about A J. Brown. I've been talking
Speaker 1: about A J. Brown and Ryan Tannehill as that combo
Speaker 1: for the better part of a month. Now you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We're gonna talk about it again. And
Speaker 1: so of those guys, Yeah, like Deebo Samuel, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup If Dealing is back, I would play him.
Speaker 1: But otherwise, yeah, Lockett hasn't done as much. He's a
Speaker 1: little bit banged up that whatever it is. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see A J. Brown and a j. Brown's
Speaker 1: got a great matchup next week. All right, there, Ben,
Speaker 1: So in any event, let's get back to what we
Speaker 1: usually do in this segment, which is uh biggest takeaways,
Speaker 1: what we can spend forward next week, what we got right,
Speaker 1: what we got wrong. So here's what I want to say. First,
Speaker 1: last Monday, at this point in time, remember how it
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not saying the Patriots are dead. And
Speaker 1: then I said, but they could be handled. And I said,
Speaker 1: if you take away Edelman, that Brady didn't have the
Speaker 1: faith in his receivers. All that stuff I said last week, Okay,
Speaker 1: because I don't want people being like, oh, speeds jumping
Speaker 1: on the bad wagon, speeds piling on. All week, I
Speaker 1: was talking about how the cracks are showing all season.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about how it's not vintage all season.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about three specific men, and they're the
Speaker 1: teams that they lead. Now, who are the three Patriots losses?
Speaker 1: The exact three men and the teams that they lead
Speaker 1: that I said, Okay, now here's what I want to do,
Speaker 1: adding onto for what I saw yesterday. You already know
Speaker 1: my position on the Patriots. Okay, I think we're at
Speaker 1: the fall of Rome. I think it's Edelman and then
Speaker 1: what right, and that Brady doesn't trust it. They needed
Speaker 1: that with the evolution of the run game. That's why
Speaker 1: you had guys like Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon. They needed Gronk,
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Now what you can take them away,
Speaker 1: you can take away Edelman. What then, here's what I
Speaker 1: saw yesterday that only furthered my point. I don't care
Speaker 1: about these instant replays. I don't care about if he
Speaker 1: stepped out of bounds or not. I don't care if
Speaker 1: it was passing inference or not. You know what I know.
Speaker 1: I know that the Patriots know it themselves. You look
Speaker 1: at Brady's frustration on the sideline, And what I saw
Speaker 1: yesterday was the Patriots knowing that in order to score
Speaker 1: points they needed to resort to trickeration. Okay, flee flickers,
Speaker 1: half back passes. That's how they were getting their chunk
Speaker 1: plays yesterday when they just had first and ten on
Speaker 1: their own thirty and they didn't run a trick play,
Speaker 1: they couldn't move the ball. All right, This is now
Speaker 1: the blueprint, all right? And I do believe Listen Brady
Speaker 1: goes nineteen thirty six hundred and sixty nine yards he
Speaker 1: throws another interception. Right now, the New England Patriots this
Speaker 1: year have two wins against teams that are five hundred
Speaker 1: or better. Okay, they gotta win against Philly. I excuse me.
Speaker 1: The opener against Pittsburgh where they blew out the Steelers, right,
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. And that's the opener where they
Speaker 1: were hanging a banner and all that good stuff. And
Speaker 1: then one the game they won sixteen to ten against
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Remember that game, blocked punt for a touchdown. Right,
Speaker 1: So you show me the proofpoint of when the Patriots
Speaker 1: can beat a good team, because I haven't seen it
Speaker 1: this year, This new England Patriots, this new England Patriots
Speaker 1: team is resorting the trick plays, all right, and they're
Speaker 1: getting worse over the season as more and more teams
Speaker 1: figure out what they can do to stifle them, all right,
Speaker 1: And that is my problem. I do not see this
Speaker 1: team being able to now and back to back weeks
Speaker 1: beat say, the Chiefs and the Ravens, the Texans and
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I don't see them if they fall to
Speaker 1: the third seed, which is now possible for them to
Speaker 1: beat a team like the Titans and then go to
Speaker 1: Kansas City and then go to Baltimore. It ain't happen
Speaker 1: in people. And what I saw yesterday was even the
Speaker 1: pit of their stomach. They know it. That's why they're
Speaker 1: resorting the trick plays, and that's why you see the
Speaker 1: frustration of Brady on the sidelines. But I'll also tell
Speaker 1: you when we talk about trick plays, here's the takeaway
Speaker 1: from me from that first Well, that Saints um, that
Speaker 1: Saints Niners game on believable. Alright, great game reminds me
Speaker 1: of all the big boys we saw last year, the
Speaker 1: Chiefs Rams game, the Patriots Chiefs game, right, all those
Speaker 1: great games all right, even this year's see Hawks Niners. Right.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say. I noticed something though, and it's
Speaker 1: something we've talked about, and I want you I has
Speaker 1: to pay attention to this moving forward. Okay, why do
Speaker 1: you think the Saints tried so much stuff? Fake punts,
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. The Niners did too. They broke out and
Speaker 1: like half back Miname Sanders passing the rhame most start
Speaker 1: double end arounds. It's because they know they may see
Speaker 1: this team again, and they're putting stuff on tape that
Speaker 1: they want to put on tape just so they can
Speaker 1: break the tendency later on. You know, a team plays
Speaker 1: like Vanilla in the preseason because they don't want to
Speaker 1: show you something now in these kind of matchups where
Speaker 1: they think they may see you again. It's not that
Speaker 1: they don't want to show you something. They want to
Speaker 1: show you a specific something because they want it on tape,
Speaker 1: and then they want to be able to do the
Speaker 1: play action off that the break that tendency. I make
Speaker 1: this analogy all the time. Manny Ramirez used to purposely
Speaker 1: look stupid on a slider and his first at bat,
Speaker 1: Why because he then knew what meant on base in
Speaker 1: the sixth inning. Later on, in a clutch spot, he'd
Speaker 1: get the same slider and he'd deposit over the damn wall.
Speaker 1: That's watch. That's what guys like Cale Shanahan, Sean Payton,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, that's what they do. And I wonder if
Speaker 1: we saw you know, Manny Sanders passing or he most started,
Speaker 1: if we saw fake punts, if we saw you know,
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill being utilized in a lot of different ways
Speaker 1: just so they can go off that um in a
Speaker 1: month's time. And I think that's very interesting. Watch that.
Speaker 1: Also when you see some of these other games that
Speaker 1: may involve teams like Houston and Tennessee are gonna play
Speaker 1: each other's in the next uh suit three weeks, watch
Speaker 1: what happens. Watch it. There's some like stuff they put
Speaker 1: out there just to go away from it in weeks seventeen.
Speaker 1: I do believe that will be the case. And I
Speaker 1: said it before my big takeaway, I damn hate bye
Speaker 1: weeks or the first week of fantasy playoffs because so
Speaker 1: many people get banged up. I had on one of
Speaker 1: my teams. I had Evans, Geys Parker, and Andrews on
Speaker 1: a bye week and they all get banged out. On
Speaker 1: one of my teams. My two quarterbacks in a two
Speaker 1: quarterback league are Patrick Mahomes and Jamis Winston. They both
Speaker 1: got hurt. And I told you to cuff these guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: So when we turn the page, we'll talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: how we can kind of respond that will also say this.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a big takeaway from me. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: you know, Jake Seali used to say band kickers. I'm
Speaker 1: now on that train because if you were facing say
Speaker 1: Jason Sanders, right and he it's seven field goals and
Speaker 1: scored twenty four points, and that's why you lost. Send
Speaker 1: me the game of inches. I want to see it,
Speaker 1: and I wanna you know, tell you you got a
Speaker 1: bad beat what I got right. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I've told you that Girley equals the balance for these Rams.
Speaker 1: And look at what the Rams are doing now that
Speaker 1: they have rediscovered Todd Gurley. I told you this and
Speaker 1: I think it will continue. They're trying to move away
Speaker 1: from being a finesse team. They're double teaming the guard,
Speaker 1: the double teaming the ends on the other side with
Speaker 1: the guards. They're even running different personnel groups. Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: was not on the field and first down last night,
Speaker 1: all right, it was Josh Reynolds Higbee and the other
Speaker 1: tight end number eighty two. Then they brought in Cooks
Speaker 1: and Cup on passing downs, all right. They are trying
Speaker 1: to change their identity. Girley goes twenty three, carries seventy
Speaker 1: nine yards and a touchdown. When Girle carries the ball
Speaker 1: fourteen times or more. This year, the Rams are now
Speaker 1: seven and one. Their only loss was at one point
Speaker 1: lost the Seattle when he carries the ball less than
Speaker 1: fourteen times there one in four they only beat the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, and that was the day that Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: went off a two twenty yards for goodness sakes, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is another example about balance, and this is what
Speaker 1: I say. You want another one, I'll give you another one.
Speaker 1: I got it right again. The damn Tennessee Titans. I
Speaker 1: told you to take them all day against the Oakland
Speaker 1: Raiders because they are a team that is ascending. Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehell wins again. He is six and one now under
Speaker 1: center as the starter for these Titans. Okay, he went
Speaker 1: twenty one of seven for three hundred and ninety one yards.
Speaker 1: He's gonna win you DFS leagues. I gave him out
Speaker 1: as a DFS guy. He's gonna win people two quarterback
Speaker 1: season long leagues. They are averaging thirty one point four
Speaker 1: points a game with him, and in none of those
Speaker 1: games did he have to go over thirty nine attempts.
Speaker 1: The same thing remains true when you have Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: being literally the best running back in football over the
Speaker 1: last month. He goes a hundred and three and two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: That's after a hundred forty nine in a tud after
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty nine and two after a hundred and two.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you people, that balance that Tennessee has is
Speaker 1: something that these teams need, the teams that don't have it.
Speaker 1: I talked about it all the time, the Falcons, the Chargers, right,
Speaker 1: Tennessee has it. The Rams are finding it. We'll see
Speaker 1: what happens with the Titans, because they got used New
Speaker 1: Orleans and Houston. We'll see if they'll be able to
Speaker 1: maintain that balance in the last month of the season
Speaker 1: when we come back on the other side of the break.
Speaker 1: More of what Speed's got right, what Speed's got wrong.
Speaker 1: There's a few players that put it in my eye.
Speaker 1: I will humbly admit it your questions as well. Will
Speaker 1: open up the phone lines, and we'll look to the
Speaker 1: waiver wire because some people got banged up yesterday. It's
Speaker 1: fantasy Freestyle, Come on back sports grid, get on the

Speaker 1: people going crazy in the chat room as well. Dex No,
Speaker 1: I am not worried about Cooper Cup. I'm saying this
Speaker 1: as it relates to Todd Gurley and how the Rams are.
Speaker 1: I believe um shedding some of their finesse approach and
Speaker 1: trying to be a little bit more. I think, if anything,
Speaker 1: it hurts Cooks. I know I mentioned that Cup is
Speaker 1: not on the field in that package, that personnel group
Speaker 1: they were running, but no Cup is still, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: the apple of goss. I I know Woods has had it.
Speaker 1: But remember this is why anybody that's in the cipher listen.
Speaker 1: If you're a real deal cipher. You know years ago
Speaker 1: I talked about the fantasy heard. This is the fantasy heard, people,
Speaker 1: and that's why I say the fantasy heard is good
Speaker 1: for the real team. Right, you start to leverage Girly,
Speaker 1: you got a little bit of Higbee. You got Cup?
Speaker 1: You got what four weeks ago people were like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I want to drop Robert Woods right now.
Speaker 1: He's just the point of the herd. That's the whole point. Okay.
Speaker 1: But I do still think Woods and Cup will be fine.
Speaker 1: I think if anybody, it's Brandon Cooks that we have
Speaker 1: to worry about. Also, vo V is asking me which
Speaker 1: receiver I like best with um Eli. First of all,
Speaker 1: I would fade Slaton, okay, because Tatan Shep should be there.
Speaker 1: Um Either one of them fine to me. I I
Speaker 1: would lean slightly towards Golden tape. But let's keep it
Speaker 1: moving here. We'll get your questions guys a little bit
Speaker 1: later on in the show. Will open up the phone
Speaker 1: lines a little bit later on in the show. I
Speaker 1: also want to tell you one of the things I
Speaker 1: got right as I'm telling you guys, and this is
Speaker 1: a remember I don't give you a fish, I teach
Speaker 1: you how to fish. One of the things I say
Speaker 1: all the time is that the young rookie running backs
Speaker 1: will start to ascend in the back half of the
Speaker 1: season and in the last month of the season. What
Speaker 1: do you know, Devin Singletary seventeen carries eighty nine yards
Speaker 1: and six catches. Meanwhile Gore gets four touches. What do
Speaker 1: you know? David Montgomery twenty six carries eight excuse me,
Speaker 1: twenty carries eighty six yards. They decided they can cut
Speaker 1: Mike Davis. The only other back there is Trek Cohen
Speaker 1: seven yards. What do you know? Nick Chubb continues to
Speaker 1: be a stud? What do you know? Darius Guys was
Speaker 1: getting more and more and more until the damn shame
Speaker 1: and park Fried Guys gave out right. What do you know?
Speaker 1: Even guys like bo Scarborough being utilized as a rookie.
Speaker 1: What do you know? Uh, Bet Snell? Yeah right, Even
Speaker 1: guys like Madison gets forty six yards and he will
Speaker 1: continue to have a real role. What does that mean
Speaker 1: for Miles Sanders tonight? With no Jordan Howard, are you
Speaker 1: gonna trust Jaya Ji or others? No? In the rain,
Speaker 1: I'm giving it to Miles Sanders tonight. I think that
Speaker 1: impacts my handicap in tonight? All right? But uh movie
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, if any of them all right? What did
Speaker 1: I get wrong? Though? Listen, I acknowledge this. I'm one
Speaker 1: of the few people out here who talk about what
Speaker 1: I got wrong in the same way as what I
Speaker 1: got right, because this is not about me being perfect
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time, or haven't telling you have
Speaker 1: some crazy rate. We say all the time, you want
Speaker 1: to get it right fifty six percent of the time.
Speaker 1: The people that are really here in the status over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher Danny Lee telling me I'm helping them out.
Speaker 1: I don't gotta tell you and front like I get
Speaker 1: everything right. Here's what I got wrong. Drew Lock put
Speaker 1: it in my eye yesterday. All right, I was on
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans defense thing and they figured out Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: and then the next week they could do the same
Speaker 1: thing to Drew Lock. Remember this is the secondary that
Speaker 1: shut Tom Brady down, Right, they couldn't do it to
Speaker 1: Drew Lock. Drew Lock through for three nine yards and
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. He's now two and oh under center for
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. Okay, Yes, the defensive touchdown helped their
Speaker 1: game flow. Yes, going up twenty one nothing in the
Speaker 1: first half helped, right, But you I what I am doing, okay,
Speaker 1: is I used to think that facing Denver would be
Speaker 1: a good stream for the playoff weeks. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean that was one of the teams I was
Speaker 1: looking at if I was gonna get ahead of it,
Speaker 1: try and find the defense to pick up early to stream.
Speaker 1: I now can't say that about matchups against Denver anymore,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like Locke looks like he belongs.
Speaker 1: I was talking in the same vein that you needed
Speaker 1: to fade Courtland Sutton a little bit. I can't say
Speaker 1: that anymore, you know what I mean. Although he did
Speaker 1: go under again, all right, but that's a way to
Speaker 1: look at it. You know who else put it in
Speaker 1: my eye a little bit. The Mitchell Trobinsky. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been weeks here telling you I've been liking him
Speaker 1: to Blake Bordles, saying that the team you know, messed
Speaker 1: up by drafting him, and that he's a boss, that
Speaker 1: it's going to cost the franchise. And listen, he goes
Speaker 1: twenty three thirty one to three touchdowns. He also got
Speaker 1: a touchdown with his legs. He ran for sixty three
Speaker 1: yards right, and there was some straightes zone reads. And
Speaker 1: this is the point I want to make. Mitchell Robinsky
Speaker 1: has that in him. But you know what I like,
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. Remember teaching you how to Fish.
Speaker 1: I think this league is evolving. We're gonna see more
Speaker 1: and more of these dual threat quarterbacks. Okay, it's not
Speaker 1: only that Robinsky is better when he utilizes his legs.
Speaker 1: It's guys like Josh Allen. It's guys like Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 1: even it's guys like Kyler Murray and of course DeShawn
Speaker 1: Watson and the big boys like Lamar and stuff. But
Speaker 1: what it's becoming is it is now more and more
Speaker 1: viable for this kind of dual threat to work and
Speaker 1: to play in the National Football League. Right, And so
Speaker 1: does that mean for me in fantasy next year? I'm
Speaker 1: waiting even more and I'm just drafting quarterbacks that can run.
Speaker 1: I'm drafting Josh Allen when I can. I'm drafting Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray when I can. I'm drafting these mobile quarterbacks. These
Speaker 1: are cheap points. These are just straight up cheap points.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna take him. And here's the other implication.
Speaker 1: What does he do for the draft stock of say
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, of say justin Fields, you know, even guy
Speaker 1: like Perkins in Virginia. Will a team take a chance
Speaker 1: like if you are right now? You know, I don't
Speaker 1: know something not like the Detroit Lions. And you think
Speaker 1: Stafford's career is coming to an end in the next
Speaker 1: couple of years, wouldn't you take a chance on one
Speaker 1: of these? Why not? Look look look at the life
Speaker 1: it injects into these teams. Why not give it a shot? Okay?
Speaker 1: And I was wrong about guys like Mitchell Robiski and
Speaker 1: maybe to a lesser extent, Garden Min Shoo, Josh Allen others.
Speaker 1: I'm with it now. It is the way you quarterbacks
Speaker 1: who can do more things, all right? And what did
Speaker 1: I get right? Listen, I got I got the idea
Speaker 1: that the Panthers may rally with no coach players only,
Speaker 1: meaning I got that wrong, all right. And now we're
Speaker 1: seeing they're gonna accept big offers for Cam Newton in
Speaker 1: the off season. He's going somewhere else, alright. But what
Speaker 1: I will say about the Panthers watch this because you know,
Speaker 1: like these guys are getting shut down and you know
Speaker 1: moving I are real quickly. Listen, watch Christian McCaffrey. Of
Speaker 1: course you're gonna play him in your season semifinals in
Speaker 1: season long, right, but his usage, he was the number
Speaker 1: one player in all the fantasy His usage I think
Speaker 1: is starting to go down. He caught eleven balls, I
Speaker 1: know that, but he only got eleven carries. And I
Speaker 1: think now you see Curtis Samuel getting rushes. You know,
Speaker 1: you see uh, you know, them throwing the ball a
Speaker 1: little bit more. I think they're gonna need to preserve CMC.
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna see McCaffrey running for
Speaker 1: a hundred yards, all right, He hasn't gotten over seventy
Speaker 1: yards in the last four they've they've lost all those games,
Speaker 1: all right, but keep an eye on the usage of
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey now that there's nothing for the Panthers to
Speaker 1: play for either, all right, on the waiver wire. Okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, remember I said I'm not gonna stream
Speaker 1: against Denver anymore. I gotta give you a defense that
Speaker 1: now I do belie Eve is worth it. In the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. You know what defense I am
Speaker 1: now willing to start. And this is gonna sound silly,
Speaker 1: I'm willing to start the Kansas City Chiefs defense. Guys,
Speaker 1: they're getting up now with Patty Mahomes, they're putting pressure
Speaker 1: on Okay, with Frank Clark and others. I think they
Speaker 1: are rounding into form. It took time with Spagnolo's defense.
Speaker 1: I think they're getting better and better. And I would
Speaker 1: be okay with the Kansas City Chiefs as a streaming
Speaker 1: defense if you need it literally in the playoffs. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do that in the league that I have. All right, Um,
Speaker 1: at the let me give you the tight end position.
Speaker 1: All right, let me give you the tight end position.
Speaker 1: Because listen, Mark Andrews hurt. Right, they said they avoided disaster,
Speaker 1: but he's got a quick turnaround. They play Thursday night football,
Speaker 1: so you may have lost Andrew's first semifinals. Vance McDonald's
Speaker 1: Jared Cook all for semifinals. Right, So here's I'll give
Speaker 1: you a couple one. Tyler Higbee. I said it last week.
Speaker 1: He is still only twenty percent owned people. All right,
Speaker 1: that's after a seven catch for a hundred sixteen yard effort.
Speaker 1: I told you the way they're using them now. Still
Speaker 1: no Gerald Everett. Okay, that's viable. Okay. I believe that
Speaker 1: they are using him in a way in what I
Speaker 1: said was that early down personnel group. All Right, I
Speaker 1: like Higbee. I'll give you a couple more. Look at O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard look at O. J. Howard and why you know,
Speaker 1: my how it comes full circle right everybody, we would
Speaker 1: we're talking about how much of a bust and a
Speaker 1: full gaze O. J. Howard was. But if Mike Evans
Speaker 1: is done, they need other targets. I want shares of
Speaker 1: the bucks passing game, right, And why wouldn't O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard be one of the beneficiaries. Listen? O J. Howard
Speaker 1: nine catches a hundred thirty four yards over his last
Speaker 1: two and I think he's gonna get more targets now
Speaker 1: that Mike Evans won't be there for the next few
Speaker 1: weeks for your fantasy playoffs. That's a guy who's only
Speaker 1: owned in of leagues. Um, David the and Joku is
Speaker 1: on you is owned in thirty two seven percent of leagues.
Speaker 1: They activated him from I R. If you're scraping the
Speaker 1: bottle of battle, if you need him, go ahead. If
Speaker 1: no Mark Andrews, you can go to Hayden Hurst. He
Speaker 1: might be the next man up in that offense. If
Speaker 1: there's no Andrews, that's viable. Um, those are the guys
Speaker 1: I would go to, all right, I would go Higbee,
Speaker 1: then Howard, than Baltimore tight end if there is no
Speaker 1: uh Mark Andrews. All right, let's talk about the wide
Speaker 1: receiver position. Okay, because we had wide receivers get banged out. Okay,
Speaker 1: you could have lost DeVante Parker, Calvin Ridley, Mike Evans. Right,
Speaker 1: so my number one wide receiver, ad listen. I told
Speaker 1: you this guy last week. You should have listened to
Speaker 1: me then, right like A J. Brown people, in the
Speaker 1: last three he has three d and thirty plus yards
Speaker 1: with three touchdowns. He is Ryan Tannehill's target. I've told
Speaker 1: you what this offense is doing. A J. Brown is
Speaker 1: unowned in seventy five percent of leagues. Go out and
Speaker 1: get them. Oh, and check the schedule. I think they've
Speaker 1: got a nice matchup next year, next week. Check it out. Okay.
Speaker 1: Um Richard Perriman is zero percent owned right now, same
Speaker 1: logic as O. J. Howard. He's zero percent owned, but
Speaker 1: three catches for seventy yards and a touchdown last week
Speaker 1: after Evans went out, same thing. I'm okay. If you're
Speaker 1: in a big time pinch, I'll take a share of
Speaker 1: this Tampa Bay Bucks pass offense. And that looks like
Speaker 1: Perriman could be someone getting targets. Now that Mike Evans
Speaker 1: along with O. J. Howard, Zach Pascal, people thirty cent old.
Speaker 1: I told you about him. The last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: he's gotten into the end zone. The last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Still no Ebron. Still I don't know that t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton is gonna play either. Deebo Samuel and one of
Speaker 1: these giants. Guys you can play the Monday night football
Speaker 1: trick with. But Deebo Samuel is on the two thirds
Speaker 1: of leagues. But if he's not owned, go check him out.
Speaker 1: When we come back. We'll talk game of inches, We'll
Speaker 1: talk what I've got a sweat in all of our leagues.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the stats over beats league, and I'll
Speaker 1: give you some running backs as well. Let's say you
Speaker 1: got banged out with a guy like Darius Guys, I
Speaker 1: can help you out. Danny, do me a favor. Let's
Speaker 1: also let's open a phone lines. Let's open the phone lines.
Speaker 1: We'll give your running backs on the way for whire.
Speaker 1: We'll preview Thursday night football, we'll talk stats over beat
Speaker 1: Cipher and a whole lot more. Come on back. NFL

Speaker 1: where millionaires are made. Welcome back Fantasy Freestyle, Episode four
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three. As we slide on in to
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, the Eagles and the Giants are about
Speaker 1: to kick off on about a half an hour. Um,
Speaker 1: here's what I want to do. I got a very
Speaker 1: special guest on the line that I'm gonna get to
Speaker 1: in a hot second. I do want to first give
Speaker 1: you some running backs, okay, um, real quick. Like, First
Speaker 1: of all, you never know about Josh Jacobs, right, so
Speaker 1: you know it's viable if there's no Jacobs, Dion Dre
Speaker 1: Washington needs to be owned. But here's the thing I
Speaker 1: told you about all these guys, right, I told you
Speaker 1: two weeks ago going into your playoffs, you needed to
Speaker 1: handcuff your studs. So if you were riding with Josh
Speaker 1: Jacobs and you don't have DeAndre Washington, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to tell you. Okay, but he's six percent owned,
Speaker 1: go out and get him. Right now, we don't know
Speaker 1: about Josh Jacobs. H most Start is still only owned
Speaker 1: in fifty leagues. It's absolutely ridiculous to me. He's had
Speaker 1: over twenty Fantasy points in his last two games that
Speaker 1: people say in Coleman fading. I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of share breed is gonna get. What I do know
Speaker 1: is that most Start needs to be on your roster,
Speaker 1: especially if you have shares of the forty niners committee.
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson needs to be at it again. Listen, now
Speaker 1: that guys is gone, right, it goes right back to
Speaker 1: the way it was. This will be Adrian Peterson on
Speaker 1: early downs and Chris Thompson, who, by the way, I
Speaker 1: think caught seven or eight balls and it's definitely again
Speaker 1: viable in PPR leagues. He's another guy Peterson or Thompson.
Speaker 1: If you can get those guys, you know. I want
Speaker 1: to know about Levan Bell. I want to know if
Speaker 1: I think this illness is going to turn into him
Speaker 1: getting shut down real quick. And if it does, you
Speaker 1: know where to pivot to right Boom boom, and of
Speaker 1: course Tie as well. Those are the guys. And if
Speaker 1: you're really desperate, you can go Patrick Laird. I guess
Speaker 1: he's only owned alright. He had fifteen carries forty eight yards.
Speaker 1: If you are scrunging the bottom of the barrel like
Speaker 1: it was with Klin Balage, go ahead and do it
Speaker 1: all right. First of all, Danny, can you please put
Speaker 1: up for a hot second? What says the image that
Speaker 1: says Flex matchup? Thank you? So this is the matchup
Speaker 1: that I need to sweat out people? All right? I
Speaker 1: have um a match of this Jake Celey, the Flex
Speaker 1: League of Experts. You know, it's all, it's all, you know,
Speaker 1: people into business. I was the third seed, okay, and
Speaker 1: I'm facing Jen Ryan, the sixth seed. But Jen Ryan
Speaker 1: had the highest point total in the entire damn league. Okay,
Speaker 1: she's up on me by about twenty seven points. But
Speaker 1: if you note, I still have Carson Wentz and say
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley to go in about a half an hour,
Speaker 1: and we now it is my pleasure to bring in
Speaker 1: Jen Ryan to the Fantasy Freestyle. Jen, thanks for kate
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes with us. How are you
Speaker 1: feeling tonight to be fan? I think I'm the one
Speaker 1: who's letting this out, not you, Like I don't know, Jen,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's four point touchdowns, it's four point
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, not six. It's half point PPR, not a
Speaker 1: full So yeah, it may happen, but it's pouring rain
Speaker 1: out there. You're telling me Wentz can't throw an interception
Speaker 1: or you can't get concussed in the first quarter, so
Speaker 1: I don't want you giving me all that reverse mojo. Jen.
Speaker 1: All right, that's what I'm talking about first of all.
Speaker 1: But here's the question. I have the real question for you,
Speaker 1: because I know you're a Cowboys fan, right, So okay, So,
Speaker 1: as a huge Cowboys fan, you need the Eagles to
Speaker 1: lose tonight. Right. We talked about this, like who wants
Speaker 1: to actually win the NFC East and you know, have
Speaker 1: San Francisco come into their you know, hometown or Seattle
Speaker 1: and beat them in wild card weekend. But I digress, Jan, So,
Speaker 1: as a big Cowboys fan, what if I told you
Speaker 1: tonight that say Kwon Barkley would dominate the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: the Giants would win, but in so doing so, he
Speaker 1: would give me enough points to beat you in your
Speaker 1: playoff matchup. Would you sign up for that? It is
Speaker 1: not a fair question, Dane at all. This is not
Speaker 1: a fair question. I mean, I feel like, of course
Speaker 1: I would sign up for that, but like I have
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Out of all my all
Speaker 1: my leagues, I am dying. I want the belt to
Speaker 1: I want that belt to listen, everybody. Yeah, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wear it. Absolutely, you'll see it right here on set. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: It's it's it's listen. We got we got some legit
Speaker 1: big timers in here right between Joe Pisappila, we got
Speaker 1: Ronus the King's gott Angle, Maddie Modica, Tim Hein yourself,
Speaker 1: I'm okay myself. You know this is really I remember
Speaker 1: us in the draft room and you you went an
Speaker 1: interesting strategy because also remember Jen, this draft happened early
Speaker 1: in the off season, right Zeke was in Cabo, and
Speaker 1: I remember you came out and you wound up with
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott and Melvin Gordon. Correct, Yeah, Melvin Gordon I
Speaker 1: got in the fourth round. And if you remember, it's
Speaker 1: also a two quarterback league, the last person to take
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and I took them back to back, and
Speaker 1: you know, fortunately it's worked out so far. But here
Speaker 1: we are, and you're ready to play four or I.
Speaker 1: And the funny part is you took Melvin Gordon in
Speaker 1: the fourth round, and I think about two rounds later,
Speaker 1: I took Austin Ekeler. Okay, And I remember if you
Speaker 1: remember we were at we were at serious X seven.
Speaker 1: They had us and they were like interviewing us in
Speaker 1: between rounds, right, and they were like, well, well, why
Speaker 1: would you take Austin Neckler? You really? What are you
Speaker 1: doing about Austin Necklin? I was like, listen, James Conner
Speaker 1: won me leagues last year. Austin Neckler might do it
Speaker 1: this year. And what do you know, Jen, You know,
Speaker 1: Gordon has a nice game yesterday, gets into the end zone.
Speaker 1: But Eckler over a hundred yards rushing and receiving. He's
Speaker 1: the guy. Listen. I thought you had a big lead
Speaker 1: on me. It was this Chargers game that brought me
Speaker 1: within shouting distance. Jen. Yeah, And and look the whole
Speaker 1: el Gordon is in I mean, here, here's the thing
Speaker 1: I think, Like, you know, I took a shot on Gordon.
Speaker 1: It was the fourth round. I was super like, pretty
Speaker 1: confident obviously he was gonna come back eventually. But even
Speaker 1: had had they both supported the camp on time. I
Speaker 1: mean standalone value absolutely a lot of running backs who
Speaker 1: could be on the same team, same time. Both of
Speaker 1: those guys prenued in that offense. So you know, steal
Speaker 1: in the sixth round. If you're asking me, well, I
Speaker 1: appreciated Jel. Pretty fortunate to get Melviot in. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: were playing the game like how far was he gonna fall?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But you're right, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. Was the guy I was targeting anyway, because
Speaker 1: I knew that once Gordon came back, I would continue
Speaker 1: to play him anyway. All right, So, so by someone
Speaker 1: who knows the NFC East, what are you think? How
Speaker 1: do you think this plays out? I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: the truth, Jen, The reason I think I might be
Speaker 1: okay is because now with Eli back, you know, I
Speaker 1: think Daniel Jones would throw the ball down field. With Eli,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get Sa Kwan getting a ton
Speaker 1: of ball. Stay in the checkdown game. What do you think,
Speaker 1: how do you what do you think is gonna happen tonight?
Speaker 1: I think especially early, you know, because he's gonna want
Speaker 1: to knock off a little bit of russ I would imagine,
Speaker 1: But then again, I mean he's such a veteran. Is
Speaker 1: there really that much rough and knock off? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna I think you're gonna start obviously
Speaker 1: feeding steak one early. My concern with Ta Kwan, and
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying this because he's on your team.
Speaker 1: Like I obviously watch every football game. He's just not
Speaker 1: from No, he doesn't. He can't. He can't write the
Speaker 1: way he normally does. It's gonna take those straight runs.
Speaker 1: But for you know how it is with him, it
Speaker 1: only take one. For I'm just looking for a seven
Speaker 1: yard screen for a touchdown, Jen, I'll tell you the truth.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking for a seven yard screen for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And that's why my prop one of my prop bets
Speaker 1: for the game is se Kwon Barkley over thirty three
Speaker 1: and a half rushing yards. But he here's what we'll do, Jen,
Speaker 1: do me a favor, no matter what happens tonight. Okay,
Speaker 1: how about we do this. How about you come back
Speaker 1: on the show in a week or two and we
Speaker 1: talk about you know, the NFC East and what's profiling
Speaker 1: that happened down there. Okay, I would love that any time.
Speaker 1: And tell everybody, Jenn, tell everybody, how can we find
Speaker 1: your work? You throw it out Twitter handles. How can
Speaker 1: we find your work? You know it at football die hards?
Speaker 1: How can we find you? Because listen, you know you're
Speaker 1: doing something right. You were the highest points total in
Speaker 1: the league. So people need to follow because you know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Jen, How can we follow you?
Speaker 1: I hope? So I just like to think I study
Speaker 1: a lot. You can totally find me on Twitter at
Speaker 1: f F D generate. Of course that's felt with the
Speaker 1: J B E J E N E R A T
Speaker 1: E and uh every Wednesday, the fine folks are at
Speaker 1: football got hard. Let me crash their serious satellite show.
Speaker 1: So I'm on the seven at seven every Wednesday, and
Speaker 1: then uh the off seasons right around the Honor, so
Speaker 1: I'll be doing a lot of work over there for
Speaker 1: them with bestball. All right, sounds good, gentle, Thanks for
Speaker 1: sending a couple of minutes for us. Here's what I'll
Speaker 1: say to you, good luck to you, just better luck
Speaker 1: to me tonight. That's all. Thanks for spending a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. We'll talk to you soon, Jenn. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Dan, Thanks, good luck tonight. It sounds good.
Speaker 1: All right, listen, we're gonna take one more call, this
Speaker 1: time from the status of beat Cipher. We got Liz
Speaker 1: from Cali. One call and then we'll talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about Monday night football. Let's get it. Liz, how
Speaker 1: can we help you win your leagues and win that cash?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Hey? Dan, how's everybody doing? We're doing
Speaker 1: all right, We're doing all right. How's you? How are
Speaker 1: you doing, Liz? I'm doing great. I scored over two
Speaker 1: points this week. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Good, So we're in the clear.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a huge number. What's your question? Go ahead.
Speaker 1: I have a concern. Just came out that d Shark
Speaker 1: isn't a walking book. Yeah. I'm an ankle injury. Not
Speaker 1: concerned about that at all. Yes, yes, I am walking.
Speaker 1: Boots are never good. Okay, I don't know, but you
Speaker 1: have to keep definite attention to him. I gave out
Speaker 1: some wide receivers that you may be able to pivot
Speaker 1: to if if you don't have guys on your bench. Um, Liz,
Speaker 1: and Chark is banged out, And yes he isn't a
Speaker 1: walking boot. Yes, I am concerned. You gotta see if
Speaker 1: guys like a J. Brown, maybe a Deebo Samuel or
Speaker 1: check for if nothing else happens, go Brochard Perriman. He's
Speaker 1: the guys taken over for Mike Evans and Tampa. But
Speaker 1: the best option for me would be to see if
Speaker 1: a J. Brown is available. But yeah, Liz, you gotta
Speaker 1: follow that. That doesn't bode well for his availability next
Speaker 1: week at all, Liz, I'm sorry to tell you. And
Speaker 1: the other question I had really quick, what the hell
Speaker 1: is going on with a running with the Chief? Yeah,
Speaker 1: good question if you want to know what I think, like,
Speaker 1: they just threw Spencer wear into it for goodness sakes, right,
Speaker 1: and that really complicated it. I thought for a second
Speaker 1: we'd have Shady on early downs Darwin Thompson in the
Speaker 1: past game and we'd be good to go. Then they
Speaker 1: go out and run out you know, you know, Spencer
Speaker 1: were of all people. I hate to tell you, it's
Speaker 1: something that. If anything, I think the most safe play
Speaker 1: is Shady McCoy. But you know, next week, I got
Speaker 1: no idea. I wouldn't really start any of them. I'd
Speaker 1: like to see how it shakes out a little bit more.
Speaker 1: If I had to pick one, it would be Shady.
Speaker 1: But good luck, Liz, and give you a call back
Speaker 1: any time. All right, only a couple of minutes left, guys.
Speaker 1: So first of all, I want to give a big
Speaker 1: shout out. I gotta give a big shout out to
Speaker 1: Young Cause. Okay, Young Causes down by forty five in
Speaker 1: our matchup, but he has Golden Tate, Alshon, Jeffrey and
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard. Okay, And I say shout him out because
Speaker 1: he's also getting better. Um, he hasn't been doing the
Speaker 1: remixes recently because of um, he had a back issue.
Speaker 1: He was, you know, laid up for a little while.
Speaker 1: So I want to tell him, uh, you know, rest up.
Speaker 1: I hope you're feeling better. Forty five points for Cause
Speaker 1: against Cryptotoker, and then the other one did leave from
Speaker 1: the undisclosed location needs only four points from the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: defense to move on. You talked. We talked about my
Speaker 1: sweat with Jen Ryan, I need twenty seven points out
Speaker 1: of Wentz and Kwon, and it looks like in the
Speaker 1: pit League, I'm gonna advance as well. Listen for this game.
Speaker 1: I like Philly. I don't think they defecate the mattress
Speaker 1: twice in a row with it all right in front
Speaker 1: of him. I'll take Philly minus the eight and a half.
Speaker 1: I'll take over forty four and a half. I'm not
Speaker 1: worried about the rain. I think Philly will be able
Speaker 1: to score in this game. The New York Giants are
Speaker 1: thirty feet in the NFL against the pass. Okay, Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz has been a volume thrower a lot of times,
Speaker 1: and it's hurt them. I don't think it hurts them
Speaker 1: tonight because I think Miles Sanders can run. Remember I
Speaker 1: told you about the rookie running backs ascending over time.
Speaker 1: Look at what single Terry did, look at what Montgomery
Speaker 1: did this week. I think Sanders against a bad run defense,
Speaker 1: can do the same thing. The Giants give up twenty
Speaker 1: eight point three points a game that is thirty in
Speaker 1: the NFL, behind only Arizona and Tampa Bay. I think
Speaker 1: Philly scores. I think they score enough to get a
Speaker 1: two score lead. I think they win this game. I
Speaker 1: think it goes over the number. And if you want
Speaker 1: to just get some free money, I'll take the prop bet. Yes,
Speaker 1: Eli Manning will throw an interception today. I know I'll
Speaker 1: lay the juice. I don't care. I like the se
Speaker 1: Kwon prop bet. I like the se Kwon part prop
Speaker 1: bet of receptions and receiving yards. Why because one thing,
Speaker 1: I know, Danny Dimes would throw the ball downfield. Eli
Speaker 1: Manning I think will do so less, especially with the
Speaker 1: weather as well. I think we're gonna see screens and
Speaker 1: check downs the se Kwan. Maybe part of that is
Speaker 1: wishful thinking because I need points from him tonight against Jen,
Speaker 1: but I think over thirty three and a half receiving
Speaker 1: yards is free money for se Kwon Barkley. I'll be
Speaker 1: here for the next hour with Scott Wessel, with Gabe Morancy,
Speaker 1: Scott's and uh. I don't want to call it an
Speaker 1: ugly Christmas sweater because it's the season, But he may
Speaker 1: think that that's like his a game. Tune in in
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes to find out. We'll be talking
Speaker 1: about it. At least I know who he's rooting for.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that episode four three in the books.
Speaker 1: On Thursday, we'll have the phone lines open, sits starts
Speaker 1: so you can get ready for your semifinals and win
Speaker 1: your leagues and win neck cash. We add of here
Speaker 1: ya hit me on Twitter, answer the poll. We'll do
Speaker 1: what we gotta do. I'm out piece. NFL season is
Speaker 1: now upon us, so you can be going the eighth
Speaker 1: person to win one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft
Speaker 1: Kings tournament. My sitting there lineup using the Daily Order
Speaker 1: dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're playing daily

Speaker 1: what we usually do here on a Monday, and it's
Speaker 1: incredibly important because it is playoff time in fantasy football,
Speaker 1: all right, and so everything becomes magnified, all the injuries
Speaker 1: that happened, the game of inches that happened. Right the
Speaker 1: next man up that happened. This is all magnified now
Speaker 1: that you are in a must win scenario moving forward. Okay,
Speaker 1: I personally started this season and like I think seven
Speaker 1: or eight leagues, I was in five playoffs. I still,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm live in some of them. I had
Speaker 1: byes in some of them. I don't like how it
Speaker 1: went to be quite honest, I have one team that
Speaker 1: I was all good because I had a bye, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that team had Mike Evans on it. That team had
Speaker 1: Davante Parker on it. You know what I mean. That
Speaker 1: team I'm struggling with guys like James Conner on it,
Speaker 1: so the by did not necessarily help. But we'll get
Speaker 1: into that. I'm speaking about some of these names. Let's
Speaker 1: are there. These are the names you need to know
Speaker 1: next week and watch them because there was a boatload.
Speaker 1: It seemed like a mash unit last week. Like there
Speaker 1: are some weeks when I'm preparing here and we're talking
Speaker 1: about like the waiver wire, and I'm like, there's not
Speaker 1: that many places you need to pivot because there weren't
Speaker 1: too many injuries. I can't say that yesterday, and it
Speaker 1: seemed like they all happened in the one o'cock games
Speaker 1: and like bang bang bang. Alright, So Davante Parker he
Speaker 1: got concussed and left in the second quarter. Remember I've
Speaker 1: been riding that streak with him, and so have you
Speaker 1: if you've been following this Spen statistician. He got concussed.
Speaker 1: Darius guys. You know we love Darius guys. Oh and
Speaker 1: by the way, I gave out the prop bet on
Speaker 1: Darius Guice yesterday it was over forty and a half.
Speaker 1: It went up to forty one and a half. Dude
Speaker 1: had five carries for forty two yards before he had
Speaker 1: the knee injury. That's why you got a shop around.
Speaker 1: There were some books where you had to get that
Speaker 1: at forty three forty four yards and even wind up
Speaker 1: with forty two before getting banged out with a knee injury,
Speaker 1: which looks like it's gonna be an issue. It looks
Speaker 1: like he's gonna miss Mike Evans with the hamstring. Bruce
Speaker 1: Arians came out and said today looks like he's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be done for the year with only three weeks left.
Speaker 1: That sucks. Mark Andrews with the knee. They're saying he
Speaker 1: may have avoided serious issues because it may be just
Speaker 1: a contusion. Mark Andrew's the Great tight End now second
Speaker 1: year tight end of the Baltimore Ravens. The tight end
Speaker 1: issues were not done. Jared Cook after catching two first
Speaker 1: quarter touchdowns, he gets concussed. Vance McDonald, Vance and make
Speaker 1: them dance. He gets concussed. So listen, Andrew's Cook McDonald.
Speaker 1: Those are all viable tight ends, so we will tell
Speaker 1: you later on in the show Where to Pivot too.
Speaker 1: In the in the waiver wires, I got one or
Speaker 1: two that you could definitely use if you still need
Speaker 1: that are like less than owned if you still need
Speaker 1: a tight end. Okay, audentate alright with an ankle, he's gone.
