Speaker 1: did not practice well. In fact, here we are, it
Speaker 1: is Wednesday, and that is what's happening. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you all of those updates from the practices around the
Speaker 1: NFL today, and I'm also gonna tell you which one
Speaker 1: of those you really need to maybe worry about, which
Speaker 1: one of those you need to not worry about at all,
Speaker 1: because they're just rest days. Remember, in the NFL, they
Speaker 1: are managing the reps of players left and right. We're
Speaker 1: also gonna take some of your coals. The phone lines

Speaker 1: So the phone lines will be open. You can also
Speaker 1: hit me up on Twitter at spitting Speeds and we
Speaker 1: gotta pull question up here right now today. I mentioned
Speaker 1: at the end of the show yesterday that fan Duel
Speaker 1: and Draft Kings have increased their rake all the way
Speaker 1: up to sixteen percent in some of their high end contests.
Speaker 1: So when last year, guys, does this matter at all?
Speaker 1: Will the increase of sixteen to sixteen percent rake for
Speaker 1: Draft Kings and FanDuel change the way you play DFS
Speaker 1: or Fantasy Football? That is our poll today on Fantasy
Speaker 1: For those freestyle, the answers are yes, no, or what's
Speaker 1: a rake? If you don't know, holler at your boy
Speaker 1: at eight four four eight four seven nine. We are
Speaker 1: also I am so excited to be joined by my
Speaker 1: former producer, The Love Doctor and basketball correspondent for the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna have Don Burns on the show
Speaker 1: a little bit later on. We're getting you ready for
Speaker 1: Week four. I'm gonna be taking your calls. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the show, we're gonna chat up a
Speaker 1: little bit about the NBA and the start of training
Speaker 1: camp opening as well. What are the narratives we need
Speaker 1: to look at at the NBA season. We just had
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony traded last week, Dwyane Wade assigned with oh surprise,
Speaker 1: Lebron and the Cleveland Cavaliers. We also have changes to
Speaker 1: the NBA schedule this year. We're gonna talk about all
Speaker 1: that with my boy to GANI Burns. But we will
Speaker 1: start when we come back looking at week four, go
Speaker 1: to breakdown all the practice reports, who might sit in
Speaker 1: week four, who you should not worry about at all,
Speaker 1: and what the implications are those. I also got a
Speaker 1: couple of spotlight games for week four that I want
Speaker 1: to talk about, including two teams in the NFL doing
Speaker 1: something that has never been done in NFL history. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about what that is and what that means
Speaker 1: for your fantasy football teams. When we come back. We're
Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network, with which boy speeds and spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: Come all right back you hurt. Hey, I'm Melissa and
Speaker 1: I'm Jill, And where the interns. The Fancy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network and d k MS want to send you to
Speaker 1: Minnesota this February. All you have to do is play
Speaker 1: our Big Game Tribua Challenge sponsored by dk and starting
Speaker 1: next week. Answer four questions right and you're heading to
Speaker 1: the Big Game. Tune in to find out when the
Speaker 1: contest will be running. So what are you waiting for?
Speaker 1: Play the Big Game Tributa Challenge sponsored by d KMS
Speaker 1: only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I need a
Speaker 1: gangster o gangs, so what I need a gangster boga,
Speaker 1: A little bit of a patchy bringing you backwards, we
Speaker 1: dropped stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle, which Boyd
Speaker 1: speeds and spitting statistician Chris Bavona taking good care of
Speaker 1: you on the phone lines at eight four four eight
Speaker 1: four three eight seven nine. We're gonna open up the
Speaker 1: phones next segment and get your questions answered as we
Speaker 1: look ahead to week four, trade questions start questions. We're
Speaker 1: gonna hold you down. But first I gotta give you
Speaker 1: some news and notes. It's like I said, the practice
Speaker 1: reports on a Wednesday are very important. So first of all,
Speaker 1: I gotta let you know that Matt Forte is gonna
Speaker 1: probably miss week four. He's dealing with turf toe. He's
Speaker 1: listed as week to week. That could mean my man
Speaker 1: boom boom bilal pal pals back and play hey oh
Speaker 1: what pal pal. But also watch Elijah McGuire, okay, because
Speaker 1: now if there's only a two man backfield, it could
Speaker 1: be McGuire being the past catching guy. Shout out to
Speaker 1: my man Emery Hunt, who told you about McGuire on
Speaker 1: last episode of Lineup Lock Live here on Sunday. The
Speaker 1: Jets have also signed former Saints running back to Vera's cadet,
Speaker 1: so that could still keep the committee going. In New York,
Speaker 1: Randell cop is optimistic that he will play tomorrow's Week
Speaker 1: four gets underway against the Chicago Bears re member. He
Speaker 1: had that chest issue and was out last week. Head
Speaker 1: coach Seawan Payton, it's actually noncommittal on the role for
Speaker 1: Willie Snead moving forward. Remember I said that last yesterday's show.
Speaker 1: I said, Willie Sneed the suspension is over. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna slide in as the number two receiver for
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. I still believe that to be true.
Speaker 1: I just think it may take a little bit of time. Okay,
Speaker 1: because listen, Brandon Coleman has been okay over the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It could be just coach speak. I
Speaker 1: still think Snead is a guy that you want to
Speaker 1: have in your lineups. Also, Jarvis Landry, there have been
Speaker 1: no charges filed in his domestic violence case. And remember listen,
Speaker 1: his ex girlfriend said that he did nothing wrong, that
Speaker 1: he was instant and now he has been cleared. There
Speaker 1: will be no charges filed against Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry.
Speaker 1: I will say this though, Okay, you don't have to
Speaker 1: be convicted in the courts to have the NFL look
Speaker 1: into the misconduct that might be there. Just ask Ezekiel Elliott.
Speaker 1: C J. Proceis is week to week with an ankle
Speaker 1: injury for Seattle. I think this means that Chris Carson
Speaker 1: is locked and loaded as an RB two that you
Speaker 1: can use this week Week four, because on Sunday Night Football,
Speaker 1: these Seahawks are at home and against the poorest Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts defense. I like Chris Carson a little bit as
Speaker 1: an RB two moving forward if procises out. Head coach
Speaker 1: of the Panthers, Ron Rivera says that this is the
Speaker 1: new normal now for Cam Newton. Okay, that they will
Speaker 1: not be running with Cam as much. Remember they are
Speaker 1: continuing to try to protect Cam Newton hashtag all quarterbacks matter. Also,
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans have ruled out Corey Davis, the rookie
Speaker 1: wide receiver four week four. That could mean a little
Speaker 1: bit more of Richard Matthews, a little bit more maybe
Speaker 1: of Delaney Walker as well. I told you I have
Speaker 1: a lot of practice reports. Okay, here are the guys
Speaker 1: that did not practice today. Remember, I do believe a
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are just managing their reps, getting
Speaker 1: maybe a rest day as it were, so I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be real concerned. But you need to check back in
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle later on in the week and
Speaker 1: see if they are trending upwards or if they continue
Speaker 1: to get the dreaded d n P tag. What you
Speaker 1: want to see his guy go. Guys go from limited
Speaker 1: to full practice, not the other way around. Here. The
Speaker 1: guys who did not practice today, Doug Baldwin with that
Speaker 1: groin injury. We're getting reports that could be a two
Speaker 1: to four week injury. We're also getting reports that he
Speaker 1: could play. Keep an eye out on this because remember
Speaker 1: they're facing the Indianapolis Coat. If Doug Baldwin can't go,
Speaker 1: or if you think he might be a decoy. I
Speaker 1: said it in yesterday's show about my drops and ads,
Speaker 1: fire up, Tller Lockett, fire up, maybe even Paul Richardson.
Speaker 1: If Baldwin can't go, j G I E did not practice.
Speaker 1: Remember he's had that knee issue. He didn't practice a
Speaker 1: bunch last week and then he looked bad on Sunday
Speaker 1: defecating eating a mattress against the Jets. They now fly
Speaker 1: to London. That can't help for that knee either. John
Speaker 1: Ross didn't practice for the Bengals. That knee injury still
Speaker 1: bothering him. Rex Birkehead did not practice for the Patriots.
Speaker 1: He's got a rib issue. That Patriots running backs are
Speaker 1: never something I worry about. But without Birkehead, maybe that
Speaker 1: means a little James White action this week as they
Speaker 1: take on the Panthers. Kelvin Benjamin did not practice because
Speaker 1: of that knee. Maybe Devin Funcius deserves Looking at Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford still did not practice with that knee. Zimmer is
Speaker 1: saying head coach of the Vikings, Zimmer is saying that
Speaker 1: he is day to day. We shall see, but after
Speaker 1: what case Keenum did last week over three d and
Speaker 1: fifty yards, maybe they want to give him a little
Speaker 1: bit more time. Also, Kenny Britt did not practice. He's
Speaker 1: got an knee and injury. Uh, guys that were limited
Speaker 1: in practice. Jack Doyle, I expect him to be okay
Speaker 1: and play, but why would you want him with you know,
Speaker 1: Jacoby Purcette and going against the Legion of Boom on
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Isaiah Crowell was limited in practice. Remember I
Speaker 1: told you that Duke Johnson maybe an interesting waiver wire
Speaker 1: add especially if Croall's shoulder continues to bark at him.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins was limited in practice with a knee issue.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be wind up just fine. I
Speaker 1: bet he gets in limited or full practice later on
Speaker 1: this week. Melvin Gordon was also limited. Remember he's dealing
Speaker 1: with that bone bruise, but they say he should be okay.
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray was practicing today with that hamstring injury. That
Speaker 1: is a good sign that he was practicing in full today.
Speaker 1: That means maybe Derrick Henry is not going to take
Speaker 1: his job. And also Michael Crabtree was cleared to practice.
Speaker 1: I think Crabtree is still a risky guy. Remember they're
Speaker 1: facing the Denver Broncos and they're no fly zone defense
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Before the break, I mentioned that two teams
Speaker 1: are doing something that has never been done in NFL
Speaker 1: history and that there might be fantasy football implications. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Both
Speaker 1: of those teams, Remember they played the London game last Sunday,
Speaker 1: bright and early in the morning. You know what usually
Speaker 1: happens after a London game, team gets buy week because
Speaker 1: they have that travel across the pond. They gotta get
Speaker 1: back into their normal routine. Not this week. Both the
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Jaguars have games, and I feel come
Speaker 1: the ble fading certain elements of those teams because of
Speaker 1: this travel. No one has ever done this before. Everyone
Speaker 1: is so high on the Jacksonville Jaguars defense this week
Speaker 1: because they're playing the j E. T. S Jet jag Jets,
Speaker 1: and I understand it. They've looked dominant two out of
Speaker 1: the three weeks. In week one against Houston and last
Speaker 1: week against Baltimore. You know they're calling him Saxonville. Will
Speaker 1: they get the same get off or will they be
Speaker 1: a little jet lagged? What about Leonard four Nett. Is
Speaker 1: he someone that's gonna be able to tote the rock
Speaker 1: times or will he be a little bit jet lagged?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. I would take a second
Speaker 1: look at some of these Jacksonville Jaguars and I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is the week they're going again by
Speaker 1: the road game for them, I don't know. I might
Speaker 1: fade some of the Jacksonville Jaguars as it comes to
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. They're going back home and that's cool,
Speaker 1: But they got the Pittsburgh Steelers who are kind of
Speaker 1: in a position where they need to win. I know
Speaker 1: the Steelers are not good on the road. Big Ben
Speaker 1: has his struggles on the road, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd be a little concerned if I was Baltimore. They
Speaker 1: got wrecked last week. They even pulled Joe Flacco. They
Speaker 1: got out physical by the Jaguars last week in London.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that, combined with the flight back and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, is a problem for them. I like
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh on the road this week to do work, even
Speaker 1: against that Baltimore Ravens defense. They didn't look that great
Speaker 1: on Sundayday, and now you have compounding it to travel
Speaker 1: and not having a bye. So I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about that. I do think, however, there are three games
Speaker 1: that I really want to focus on this week, so
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my previews for
Speaker 1: some Spotlight games. The first game that I want to
Speaker 1: talk about is the Lions and the Vikings. The Lions
Speaker 1: are traveling to Minnesota. The Lions put forth a great
Speaker 1: effort last week against the Atlanta Falcons, came up just
Speaker 1: a yard short and instant replay short against the Falcons
Speaker 1: with Golden Tate. You know what many people thought was
Speaker 1: a touchdown. They celebrated on the field. But they're going
Speaker 1: at Minnesota now. I think this, more than any other
Speaker 1: game is really the true kind of like litmus test.
Speaker 1: Are the Lions for real? I no know. A lot
Speaker 1: of people were asking that same question going into last
Speaker 1: week because they had the Falcons. But they were at home, okay,
Speaker 1: and that's a lot different being at home, which a
Speaker 1: crowd coming off the high of their previous win Monday
Speaker 1: Night football against the Giants. They were at home and
Speaker 1: they held up. This Minnesota Vikings defense in Minnesota has
Speaker 1: been much different. I think this week is the true
Speaker 1: test of Matthew Stafford and Jim Bob Cooder and this
Speaker 1: Lions offense. Here's what I like though, That Minnesota secondary
Speaker 1: is good. Remember Xavier Bumpy Rhodes and Terrence Newman doing
Speaker 1: it at the age of like thirty eight or thirty nine.
Speaker 1: I think this plays well for guys like Amira Buba,
Speaker 1: for guys like Theo Riddick, for guys like Eric Ebron,
Speaker 1: because the whiteouts might be covered effectively. I think I
Speaker 1: still believe in Stafford, and I still believe in some
Speaker 1: of those other options that are not the wide receiver's
Speaker 1: golden Tate, Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay. On the Minnesota side,
Speaker 1: we saw what happened last week. A lot of people
Speaker 1: left Stefon Diggs on their bench because they were worried
Speaker 1: about case Keenum. I'm gonna tell you this, He's got
Speaker 1: a nice decent matchup just Detroit Lions secondary is okay.
Speaker 1: But Stefon Diggs and Adam Feeling have proven themselves. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now. We told a lot of
Speaker 1: people to worry about the Minnesota Vikings last week. I
Speaker 1: am not making that mistake again. I think even if
Speaker 1: Keenum is in there again, fire up you know, fire
Speaker 1: up Digs, fire up Feeling, fire up Rudolph the red zone,
Speaker 1: rein Deer, and you could obviously fire up Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: as well. Another game I want to talk about before
Speaker 1: we open up the phone mines and we're gonna get
Speaker 1: to them. In our next segment, So get ready right
Speaker 1: now at eight four four, eight four three six, eight
Speaker 1: seven nine. The other game I find very interesting is
Speaker 1: this Rams verse Cowboys games, because now I think these
Speaker 1: are two different kinds of offenses in a way I
Speaker 1: never would have thought. I think the Rams are now
Speaker 1: one of these kind of like aggregates, some are greater
Speaker 1: than its parts offenses, and I'm telling people to take
Speaker 1: Jared Goff over Cam Newton, and I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are sort of becoming an efficient game manager kind of offense.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that when we come back, and
Speaker 1: your phone lines will be open to Holly read speeds
Speaker 1: and spitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestop Hunter Henry Sterling
Speaker 1: Shepherd Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due
Speaker 1: to slump, They're due to break out. Just like the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things are only
Speaker 1: getting better. Make sure listen live and dell o the
Speaker 1: app f and T s Winder Radio. It's free and
Speaker 1: it's twenty four seven. The best Fantasisty's sports on ten

Speaker 1: it is. It's your boy, Dane Martin NSPS has been

Speaker 1: that says nice things. Thanks to everybody you had that

Speaker 1: to go ahead and hit it, I would thoroughly appreciate it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna open up the phone lines right now at
Speaker 1: eight four eight four three six eight seven nine. Before
Speaker 1: we do that, remember I UM I gave you the
Speaker 1: news and notes and the practice reports. One thing that's
Speaker 1: important to note because it pertains the Thursday Night football
Speaker 1: is Ryan Bluga, one of the tackles for Green Bay.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like he's gonna make it, so that
Speaker 1: means that Aaron Rodgers is gonna be without both of
Speaker 1: his starting tackles on Thursday Night Football. You know how
Speaker 1: I feel about offensive line play, and we've seen Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers run for his life under pressure before I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised, okay, if Chicago can keep it close tomorrow
Speaker 1: night and get pressure on Aaron Rodgers, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised so much that when I see that the Packers
Speaker 1: are seven and a half point favorites, I'm going over
Speaker 1: to my bookie dot a G right now. I like
Speaker 1: it at more than a touchdown. I think the Bears
Speaker 1: might be able to, you know, time of possession, grind
Speaker 1: it out and get some pressure on Aaron Rodgers. I
Speaker 1: might take the dog there in Chicago on my bookie
Speaker 1: dot a G. You should go over to my bookie
Speaker 1: dot AG. Their reputation is rock solid. They pay out.
Speaker 1: You can even make in game bets, okay, so I
Speaker 1: love that in game live betting. And if you use
Speaker 1: the promo code freestyle f R E S T y
Speaker 1: l E, you can tell him your boy Dane martinteen
Speaker 1: has sent you. You You get a hundred percent match bonus
Speaker 1: on your initial deposit. All right, let's open up the
Speaker 1: phone lines right now. The number of call is eight
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We
Speaker 1: started off today on a Wednesday with Eddie in New Mexico. Eddie,
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? You are on the fantasy
Speaker 1: freestyle dropping stats over beats with speeds. How can I
Speaker 1: help you? Dane? What a fantasy magi? And yeah, I
Speaker 1: got a question about standard scoring. Do I start Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lynch or Christian McCaffrey standard Yeah, here's the deal. I'm
Speaker 1: still I'm going I'm going McCaffrey in that situation. And
Speaker 1: here's why. Marshawn Lynch is just not getting the touches
Speaker 1: that that we thought he might. They're not treating him
Speaker 1: like a workhorse. You used to think he was this
Speaker 1: bell cow workhorse kind of back. It seems like they're
Speaker 1: managing his opportunity to try and keep him healthy for
Speaker 1: the whole season and more importantly, the playoffs. Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: seems like the last man standing in Carolina. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you know what with Olsen gone with? Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin gone. I think McCaffrey is gonna be the focus.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the focus in the receiving
Speaker 1: game and a little bit in the run game as well.
Speaker 1: So I go with Christian McCaffrey. But thanks for call
Speaker 1: Eddie out there. I just think that Marshawn Lynch is
Speaker 1: getting managed a little too much. Jalen Richard is on
Speaker 1: the field a little bit too much for Oakland for
Speaker 1: me to feel comfortable about beast mode. I think later
Speaker 1: on in the season, when they really need it, that's
Speaker 1: when you will see beast mode. We got Jesse in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Jesse in Atlanta, he's got a trade opportunity. I haven't
Speaker 1: even heard it yet, but it's a three for one,
Speaker 1: so I know probably what I'm gonna say, but let's
Speaker 1: test it out anyway. Jesse in Atlanta, you're dropping stats
Speaker 1: over beats on the fantasy freestop it. What's up the game?
Speaker 1: I'm looking for one here? Uh and the trade is Leon.
Speaker 1: I'm getting living on Bell and I'm training away Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: j Cohen and thanks for the call, Jesse. Um, here's
Speaker 1: the thing you got. You got a lot of guys
Speaker 1: in there that are very close to my heart. Tarik
Speaker 1: Cohen Stefan can you digs it? And Levy on Bell?
Speaker 1: I always say, as a rule of thumb, and these
Speaker 1: like two for one trades and these three for one trades,
Speaker 1: I want the elite talent. I want the best player
Speaker 1: in the deal. Let me tell you something. I believe
Speaker 1: fantasy football is all about accumulating the best elite studs
Speaker 1: that you can put in your starting lineup that can
Speaker 1: win you your week and that can pop off get
Speaker 1: your thirty twenty thirty points in any given week because
Speaker 1: when it comes to the playoffs, right, you're hopefully getting
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, and when it comes to the playoffs
Speaker 1: weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, you want to have your
Speaker 1: best lineup until sacrificing, you know. But but the problem
Speaker 1: with this one is Levan Bell has sort of underperformed
Speaker 1: so far this year, and Stefon Diggs has popped off
Speaker 1: YREK Cohen has popped off McCaffrey. We still believe that
Speaker 1: is a very tough one for me, Jesse. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with my rule of thumb. I believe Levian
Speaker 1: Bell is still a stud that you need. It shames
Speaker 1: me to have to let go of Stefon Diggs. But Jesse,
Speaker 1: if you have decent wideouts outside of Dig and you
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with like the two or three other guys
Speaker 1: you have that you can start, in that case, yes,
Speaker 1: give me Levian Bell. I like the l Bell side
Speaker 1: of that trade because I want the stud but thanks
Speaker 1: for the calling, Jesse. We got Pete in Staten Island.
Speaker 1: Pete in Staten Island. He's got a question about a
Speaker 1: couple of guys. Who does he start in a week? Four? Hey,
Speaker 1: you're in shall Land. You're dropping stats over beats on
Speaker 1: the fantasy freestyle. What's going on? Are you doing? Baby? Uh?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Is my running backstare terrible? Unfortunately? You
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna give you my lines. I'm okay, it's got.
Speaker 1: I've got Mariota, Chris Carson, he j Green, Bryant, Evan, Ingram, Kyrie,
Speaker 1: killed Daily and the Giant and uh, now I have
Speaker 1: a choice here at running back between Ingram and Doula,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what to do because they're both
Speaker 1: killing me. Right, And let me ask you. You're you're
Speaker 1: you're definitely starting, Chris Carson? Is that why? Well, I'm
Speaker 1: definitely starting this week. So for you, it comes down
Speaker 1: to Ingram and Abdullah. Huh, I gotta tell you something
Speaker 1: and this is and you said this is PPR right, Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, Um, I'm gonna run out of Dulah. I
Speaker 1: would run out of Dulah over Ingram this week and
Speaker 1: it's really close for me. I gotta tell you that
Speaker 1: God's on the truth. It's really close for me. But
Speaker 1: I'm afraid. I'm afraid of this London game for the Saints.
Speaker 1: You know, I think weird things happen in London. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got Alvin Kamara there, you got Adrian Peterson there
Speaker 1: as well. I like Abdullah has been decent. Okay, he's
Speaker 1: been getting work in the run game and in the
Speaker 1: passing game. And because it's PPR, I would run out Abdulah,
Speaker 1: but I think it's close. Minnesota Vikings are a tough defense.
Speaker 1: I love Chris Carson that he's locked in for you,
Speaker 1: especially with c J pro sites likely out and Ingram
Speaker 1: usually on a week two week basis is rated higher.
Speaker 1: So I could be wrong, but something smells fishy about
Speaker 1: the London game for me as it relates to New Orleans.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with a mirror Abdula. I think
Speaker 1: a Mirordula has been getting better and better every week,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, he stayed healthy and I think
Speaker 1: he's growing to be a bigger part of that offense.
Speaker 1: Thanks for to call Pete out there and Shalon. When
Speaker 1: I go over to Verrazano next time, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: look for you. We got Randall in Chicago. Randall in Chicago,
Speaker 1: he's got a question about it looks like some running backs, Randall,
Speaker 1: how can I help you here on the Fantasy Freestyle?
Speaker 1: Do we have Randall going once? Going twice? He is gone,
Speaker 1: but that's okay. That means we got time for other people.
Speaker 1: We got Keith out there in Baltimore. Hey, Keith, he
Speaker 1: got a trade question for me. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Let me try and help you out. Man, all right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have Cooper and James Conner in my league. The
Speaker 1: bellowner is getting real nervous. He's trying to send me Jackson,
Speaker 1: which Jackson, DeShawn Jackson here, DeShawn Jackson and J. J.
Speaker 1: Nelson and you would ship back MARII, Cooper and James Connor.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I like the Cooper side. Better to
Speaker 1: be quite honest, because here's the thing, my man, Uh J. J.
Speaker 1: Nelson is not not someone who you're gonna start on
Speaker 1: a week to week basis, right, So I think he's
Speaker 1: just the throw in filler. You never you don't want
Speaker 1: to be in a position where you need to start
Speaker 1: JJ Nelson, so he doesn't really do anything for me.
Speaker 1: I understand that the bell owner is a little bit
Speaker 1: worried and how Connor can handcuff him, But if you're
Speaker 1: giving up to me, it just looks like a Cooper
Speaker 1: for Jackson kind of trade. And I like Cooper much
Speaker 1: better than DeShawn Jackson moving forward, So I think the
Speaker 1: left bell owner over there is gonna have to do
Speaker 1: a little bit more. You don't want fringe pieces like J. J. Nelson. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna give up Cooper and Connor instead of
Speaker 1: this two for two, take Cooper and Connor, and instead
Speaker 1: of getting J. J. Nelson and DeShawn Jackson, asked him
Speaker 1: for his best wide receiver, ask him for his wide
Speaker 1: out one or his wide out to you. You want
Speaker 1: a wide receiver that is better than a Marie Cooper
Speaker 1: in this trade, because Connor has value to him doesn't
Speaker 1: really have value to you. So you want someone that
Speaker 1: can give you value over a MARII Cooper. I like
Speaker 1: I keep Amari Cooper in that trade. Thanks for the
Speaker 1: call out there though, Keith out there and be more.
Speaker 1: Oh no, excuse me, um Randall in Chicago, We're going
Speaker 1: to keep no Randall dropped. I'm talking to Keith. They're
Speaker 1: so lined up here at eight four four four three
Speaker 1: six seven nine. But I do not make that trade
Speaker 1: because J. J. Nelson is just the throw in piece.
Speaker 1: I ain't buying it. We're keeping it moving. The next
Speaker 1: call we have is Josh in Wisconsin. Josh and Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: you've got a trade offer as well. Let me see
Speaker 1: if I can help you out. You're dropping stats over
Speaker 1: beats on the Fantasy freestyle speeds. Appreciate your time. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go real quick here, full point PPR twelve man.
Speaker 1: I got Julio and can you dig that as my
Speaker 1: two wide receivers, But from there it goes to Prior
Speaker 1: and Jermaine Curse. I'm a little nervous about that. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty deep at running back with Hunt, Howard, McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, and Paul will be in my fifth one.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking about trying to flip a combo of
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Prior media to get a guy like a J. Green.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? I love that. I
Speaker 1: love that because you got Hunt and Howard right, So
Speaker 1: McCaffrey for you McCaffrey is a bye week piece, right.
Speaker 1: The only problem I have with that is if maybe
Speaker 1: not McCaffrey, flip the one running back a little bit
Speaker 1: lower because it's PPR scoring for you man, okay, Josh.
Speaker 1: So with that PPR scoring, McCaffrey might wind up being
Speaker 1: very value before you, especially if Howard is you know,
Speaker 1: banged up with that shoulder. So I would go down
Speaker 1: a little bit. I would see if I could prepare
Speaker 1: TP three with another running back whatever, I forget who
Speaker 1: it was, Put the one right below McCaffrey on your
Speaker 1: running back depth chart. I would take that guy, and
Speaker 1: I would take TP three, and I'd see if that
Speaker 1: was enough for a j Green or another elite wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. I appreciate the love clearly you
Speaker 1: watch or listener talking about Stephen. Can you digs in?
Speaker 1: We got a couple more callers. We're gonna try and
Speaker 1: get to you after the break, but when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're also gonna be joined by my man Donnie Burned,
Speaker 1: the love Doctor talking a little bit of NBA. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna clear out these calls, so Demitrius, Victor Scott Ryan

Speaker 1: You're up next on a Fantasy Freestyle? How can I
Speaker 1: help you out? My men? Hey? How you doing? Thanks
Speaker 1: for taking my call anytime? What's going on? M I
Speaker 1: just had a line up question from my wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: Uh I have I have Michael Thomas, Golden Tate, Branding Cooks,
Speaker 1: and t Y Hilton. This is a point five PPR league.
Speaker 1: How many do you need? T Y Hilton is the
Speaker 1: odd man out for me? Uh? Two? Okay, so I
Speaker 1: gotta take someone else out? Uh? Who were there? Again? Sayings?
Speaker 1: Because as soon as I heard t Why Hilton, I
Speaker 1: was like, that's the answer. Who were The first three
Speaker 1: was Brandon Cooks. Who else? Brandon Cooks, Michael Thomas, and
Speaker 1: Golden tap Um. I'd take Cooks and I'd take Michael Thomas.
Speaker 1: I'd have Tate as the guy that is not there.
Speaker 1: They're facing that Minnesota Secondary and I think Xavier Rhodes
Speaker 1: and Terrence Newman are solid corners still, So I would
Speaker 1: go Brandon Cooks and I would go with Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. You run out there every week, no matter
Speaker 1: the weather, no matter the dome, no matter what's going on.
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and Brandon Cooks are your options. Hope I
Speaker 1: could help you out there, Victor, thanks for calling a
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle. We've got Scott in Dallas. Scott and Dallas.
Speaker 1: You got a trade after offer out there. Let me
Speaker 1: help you out yeah, man, all right. So I just
Speaker 1: wanted to go over my running backs. I don't only
Speaker 1: have a song on RB one and the one that
Speaker 1: you see. If I can maybe put a package together
Speaker 1: for someone that's uh clear cut RB one. So I
Speaker 1: got McCafferty, McCafferty, Murray makes and I got Nick and
Speaker 1: I just picked up Smallwood. Okay, Um is it PPR No,
Speaker 1: it's okay. Um, so it's a standard league. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think listen, I think you can. Okay, I think you can.
Speaker 1: What I would do is I would keep mixing though Okay.
Speaker 1: I think Joe Mixon is definitely going to ascend to
Speaker 1: be like your RB two, and I would keep Murray
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, So I would play around a little
Speaker 1: bit with McCaffrey and Smallwood. I think those are the
Speaker 1: two guys that your package or you what you do
Speaker 1: is you take McCaffrey and like, if you have to
Speaker 1: start three wide receivers, you know, you take McCaffrey and
Speaker 1: your fourth wide receiver and see if that will do
Speaker 1: the trick to get you a true RB one. I
Speaker 1: keep Mixing, I keep Murray. I think McCaffrey would be
Speaker 1: like the sexier name to the other people in your league,
Speaker 1: so they might try to bite on that. I would
Speaker 1: try to package McCaffrey and like, whoever you're like fringe
Speaker 1: wide receiver is that's right at a starting cust for you.
Speaker 1: And that's how I would go. And I would try
Speaker 1: to target a true RB one there. You know, um,
Speaker 1: you know, a guy like a Devontae Freeman, a guy
Speaker 1: like a Melvin Gordon if you could get that, or
Speaker 1: an ascending talent like a like a Todd Gurley if
Speaker 1: you could get Girly. I would do McCaffrey. Plus you
Speaker 1: know you're kind of wide out three or four. That
Speaker 1: would be how I would go. But I agree with you,
Speaker 1: you know you do want that Army one. But listen,
Speaker 1: Murray and Mixing are the guys that I would not
Speaker 1: trade in that situation. Hope, I'm helping you out the
Speaker 1: last question. The last quality we have is Ryan and Boston.
Speaker 1: It sounds Ryan like you're debating between two quarterbacks for
Speaker 1: this week. You're dropping stats overbeats on the Fantasy Freestyle. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? Um? Yeah, I'm a standard and uh, I
Speaker 1: just got a quarterback situation. I got Cousins and Rivers,
Speaker 1: and then in addition to that, I got a couple
Speaker 1: of guys out on the wire like uh, Simeon, who
Speaker 1: I like his matchup this week, and even Cutler I've
Speaker 1: debated on. But yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't mess with that.
Speaker 1: I think Kirk Cousins is your guy. I like that.
Speaker 1: You know you like that, you like that. I think
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is your guy. He's facing Kansas City on
Speaker 1: Monday night. I think that's much better than I believe
Speaker 1: the Rivers that you said, listen, Rivers that that that
Speaker 1: head coach Anthony Lynne. They want to try and run
Speaker 1: the ball. They're facing Philadelphia. UM. I like Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: in that situation. And thanks Ryan for the call out
Speaker 1: there on the Fantasy Freestyle. That's about it on the
Speaker 1: phone line today. But we have my man Donnie Burns,
Speaker 1: the Love Doctor and Basketball corresponded, joining us on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. If you've been listening to the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: for a while, you know we talked basketball here as well.
Speaker 1: The basketball training camps are kicking off, so I thought
Speaker 1: no better time than to bring in my man, Donnie Burns. Hey,
Speaker 1: don how are you doing, big man? It has been
Speaker 1: a while, but you know, I gotta bring you back
Speaker 1: in because we had this first trade bombshell last week,
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony finally getting moved. The Melo drama is now
Speaker 1: over in New York. He got traded to Oklahoma City.
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, though, the Nixt are to run
Speaker 1: out Enis Cantor, Chris Stops Porzingis and some other trash
Speaker 1: out there. The Nicks suck, right, Yeah, the Knicks are
Speaker 1: pretty bad. And with the Mellow trade, I was kind
Speaker 1: of shocked with that. Um going to Oklahoma City thunder. Um.
Speaker 1: Here's my thing with that trade. You have Mellow, you
Speaker 1: have Paul George, you have Russell Westford, all in the
Speaker 1: top ten. Here's the thing that there's only one ball, right,
Speaker 1: there's only one basketball down. So they were all they
Speaker 1: were all top ten isolation points last year and if
Speaker 1: you watched the presser with Mellow, he's not coming off
Speaker 1: the bench. So they're gonna have to figure that out.
Speaker 1: They'll probably have Mellow at They actually just said that today.
Speaker 1: They came out and said that today. Um, Billy Donovan
Speaker 1: I believe he said that they are in fact going
Speaker 1: to start Carmelo at power forward and Mellow said that
Speaker 1: he's like, he's cool with that. So I guess that
Speaker 1: means what PG thirteen at at the three, Mellow at
Speaker 1: the four, and Westbrook pulling the strings. Yeah, And we
Speaker 1: were just kind of having this discussion in the control
Speaker 1: room the other day. Um, it's kind of how the thunder,
Speaker 1: you know, Kevin Durant went over to the the Warriors
Speaker 1: and someone had to give And in my opinion, for
Speaker 1: this team, it's gonna have to be Paul George. He's
Speaker 1: the only He's probably their best two way player at
Speaker 1: this point in time. And UM, if you ask me
Speaker 1: who's gonna dip under that twenty points per game, it's
Speaker 1: probably gonna be him. It's more is going to be
Speaker 1: after him on the defensive end. Um, since Mellow has
Speaker 1: been in the league, he's average twenty points per game.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna change anytime soon. To get
Speaker 1: more value in the in the shots, he gets more
Speaker 1: like kind of like what Mike Evans is doing with
Speaker 1: the Shawan Jackson right now. He's getting more quality looks.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of what's gonna be like for the
Speaker 1: Thunder this year. Urns with a little cross sport analogy.
Speaker 1: I like that. Like my name was Kirk Cousins. Donnie.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, though, does this make the Thunder
Speaker 1: legit contenders in the West. I mean, everybody's obviously chasing
Speaker 1: after the Golden State Warriors, you know, um, and they
Speaker 1: are still looking like a squad that will be sustainable.
Speaker 1: But I see what Houston did getting Chris Paul, I
Speaker 1: see what Oklahoma City is trying to do with Mellow
Speaker 1: and Paul George. You know, the San Antonio Spurs are
Speaker 1: gonna be around. You know when all is said and done.
Speaker 1: Outside of Golden State, who do you think you know
Speaker 1: it's best to challenge in the West? Who would be
Speaker 1: like that threat? Who are you looking forward to facing,
Speaker 1: say the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: as curly constructed on, probably go with the Rockets at
Speaker 1: this point in time, the Thunder, I know, they've just
Speaker 1: got mellow, they got Paul George. They look pretty stout
Speaker 1: as a starting lineup, but they're reminiscent to me of
Speaker 1: like a better version of the Clippers two years ago.
Speaker 1: To make some noise in the playoffs, they might win
Speaker 1: a series, but they're not gonna go further than that
Speaker 1: as partently constructed. Like I mentioned before, that's uh, top
Speaker 1: three of the top ten players in the NBA that
Speaker 1: score in isolation. That's not really how they're playing right now,
Speaker 1: and there's no match for a Warriors team that ruin
Speaker 1: was the way they do and with the best stuff
Speaker 1: they have, I would probably go with the Rockets, um,
Speaker 1: you know, to give the Warriors around for their money.
Speaker 1: In the West. All right, fair enough, Donnie, Let's go
Speaker 1: over to the East Cleveland Cavaliers. You know, you know
Speaker 1: Dwyane Wade got bought out and then he signs with
Speaker 1: his boy. You know, half of the Banana boat is
Speaker 1: now constructed in Cleveland. Does Dwyane Wade start for this
Speaker 1: team or would it be better to keep j R.
Speaker 1: Out there and then have Dwayne be kind of a
Speaker 1: stabilizing force with less minutes on the second team for
Speaker 1: the Calves. Yeah, we were just having this argument today. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they got senior citizen's squat at the Calves.
Speaker 1: It was kind of weird that it was kind of
Speaker 1: weird that Dwyane Wade signed with them. Um, much like
Speaker 1: Kyrene moving to Boston knowing that Lebron might possibly leave. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a little weird that he might leave Dwyane Wade
Speaker 1: hanging out to dry. But never mind that they were
Speaker 1: we were arguing about that the other day. Dwyane Wade
Speaker 1: needs to come off the bench. J R. Smith is
Speaker 1: their best perimeter defender. And if you were to put
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade out there, that is not his strong point
Speaker 1: and he's older now, that would just be you know,
Speaker 1: moving backwards. Dane, we have to take a shot here.
Speaker 1: You have to come off the bench because you can't
Speaker 1: very well take your best perimeter defender off the starting
Speaker 1: lineup when you couldn't even beat the Warriors last year
Speaker 1: or so. Yeah, fair enough, at Donnie, we're up against it.
Speaker 1: I had so many callers here on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: People want to drop stats over beats, which boys bes
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician I want to get your adda here
Speaker 1: on this, Donnie. What should we be looking for this
Speaker 1: NBA season? And like I mean to me, the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conferences Boston and Cleveland, Like it doesn't matter what Milwaukee does,
Speaker 1: They're still a year away. Philly is a year away.
Speaker 1: You know. I love the backcourt in Washington, but they
Speaker 1: can't step to these teams Toronto as well. So the
Speaker 1: East seems like it's Boston in Cleveland. We talked about
Speaker 1: the West. Is there anything like we should be looking
Speaker 1: for as training camps open? Specifically, the one thing that
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see is the schedule is getting stretched
Speaker 1: out right, so there's less back to backs and stuff.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna see less of this? Like d np
Speaker 1: rest on the box score, you think people are actually
Speaker 1: gonna play more this year? Yeah? Absolutely, And I know
Speaker 1: we're up against the time. And I want to give
Speaker 1: you a hot take before I leave my uh the
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards, uh, Eastern Conference champions. I'm really go to
Speaker 1: the final, the Washington Wizards. Uh. So you're real high
Speaker 1: on John? So does that mean John wall Is in
Speaker 1: the m v P conversation? Donnie? All right, fair enough?
Speaker 1: You heard it here first on the Fantasy Freestyle, Donnie
Speaker 1: Burns likes not Boston, not Cleveland, but the Washington Wizards
Speaker 1: to be that team that has sends. I've been talking
Speaker 1: to my man Frank Stanfel, you know he likes the Bucks.
Speaker 1: I think that the Philadelphia seventies sixers can you know,
Speaker 1: step ahead as well and maybe even you know, finally
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, you know, if they trust the process
Speaker 1: at all. Hey, Donnie, I want to bring you back
Speaker 1: as NBA gets going, We're definitely gonna have you back.
Speaker 1: But thanks for spending a couple of minutes with the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. How things going in the morning, my friend,
Speaker 1: that's an early shifting. Getting up at three am is
Speaker 1: not something you can every You're still probably our party
Speaker 1: in that night. You're a young man. You can make
Speaker 1: an happen. Thanks for joining as Donnie. We'll talk soon
Speaker 1: when we come back. We tie a nice little bow
Speaker 1: on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. We're dropping statue
Speaker 1: over beats on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network
Speaker 1: Fantasy Free Style, Matt Forte is gonna probably miss week four.
Speaker 1: That could mean my man Boom Boom melal pal pals
Speaker 1: back in play. Hey, oh what pal Pal, But also
Speaker 1: watch Elijah McGuire okay, because now if there's only a
Speaker 1: two man back fale, it could be McGuire being the
Speaker 1: past Caddy Can Guy could also signed former Saints running
Speaker 1: back to Baris Cadet, so that could still keep the
Speaker 1: comedie going. In New York week days from seven to
Speaker 1: eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Here we got a little Lost Boys bring you back
Speaker 1: here dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. This
Speaker 1: song is called Renee the Tragic Story as told by
Speaker 1: the Lost Boys and like that. Uh, I really love
Speaker 1: this song is one of my favorite songs. The Man
Speaker 1: Chris Bovona but the Bounty killing a manimal dropping on
Speaker 1: here keep steam does what I also want to tell
Speaker 1: you about if you haven't heard already, this promotion we're
Speaker 1: doing with d k ms. Okay, Fantasy Sports Network is
Speaker 1: partnering up with d k MS to help fight blood cancer.
Speaker 1: Here's what we're doing. You can enter a DFS contest
Speaker 1: on daily Rhodo dot com slash d k ms or
Speaker 1: Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k ms for free okay,
Speaker 1: every week, week one through sixteen of the NFL season.
Speaker 1: If you win that DFS contest, you get entered with
Speaker 1: all the other winners into a DFS contest for weeks
Speaker 1: seventeen of the football season. You win that, and you
Speaker 1: win two tickets to Super Bowl fifty two in Minnesota
Speaker 1: in early February. I think it's amazing, But the real
Speaker 1: value here is you go on the website. You also
Speaker 1: learn a little bit more about how you can help
Speaker 1: fight blood cancer. Okay, you learn about the disease and uh,
Speaker 1: you could register. You could register to be a blood donor.
Speaker 1: You could register to be a bone marrow donor and
Speaker 1: really potentially help save the life of someone struggling with
Speaker 1: this disease by being a match for them. I know, mom,
Speaker 1: man Chris Bovona has already done it. He has registered.
Speaker 1: I'm about to hop on over there and do it
Speaker 1: as well. Go on over and play those tournaments. You
Speaker 1: can go to super Bowl fifty two. As we partner
Speaker 1: with d k MS to help fight blood cancer. We
Speaker 1: gotta pull a question up. I told you about it,
Speaker 1: thanks to everybody that is voting. I asked you, was
Speaker 1: this increase of RAKE up to sixteen percent on some
Speaker 1: of the contests on Draft Kings and FanDuel enough to
Speaker 1: change the way you play DFS, enough to change the
Speaker 1: way you play fantasy football. Of you are saying yes,
Speaker 1: I will say this though, if you're just playing a
Speaker 1: little ten dollar tournament, it's not going to impact you. Okay.
Speaker 1: They're going after the big boys here. It's the high end,
Speaker 1: high price tournaments. My guy Tony Sankada told me about that,
Speaker 1: and it's not really This rake is not really a
Speaker 1: big deal unless you're playing big money. Okay. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like the difference between state tax you know, one
Speaker 1: state where it's six percent, one state where it's eight percent.
Speaker 1: When you're buying regular stuff, it's not a big difference.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna sign a hundred million dollar contract,
Speaker 1: then it matters. Thirty of you, though, say, what's a rake?
Speaker 1: Remember that's what the house is taken. Okay. If you
Speaker 1: look at gambling, the standard bed is minus one ten.
Speaker 1: That means you gotta bet a hundred ten dollars to
Speaker 1: win a hundred That extra ten dollars, that's the rake.
Speaker 1: They are taking that money, whether you like it or not.
Speaker 1: So I want to let you know about that. The
Speaker 1: last thing I'm gonna talk about we're gonna get out
Speaker 1: of here on this is I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw this, but Twitter is looking to elongate their character limit.
Speaker 1: It looks like they're gonna go from a hundred and
Speaker 1: forty characters to two hundred to two hundred and eighty.
Speaker 1: And my man Chris is telling me it's official. So
Speaker 1: that means you could find me at spitting Speeds and
Speaker 1: you could write longer winded questions for me. Uh. The
Speaker 1: only thing is and everybody, I love it. I love
Speaker 1: you guys calling in, I love you guys answering the poll.
Speaker 1: I love you guys hollering at me on Twitter at
Speaker 1: spitting Speeds that try to help you out. Thanks to
Speaker 1: every body who does and shows me a little bit
Speaker 1: of love. The only problem is it's hard when you
Speaker 1: give me like eight or nine guys and say picked
Speaker 1: two give me like real specific questions. So, like the
Speaker 1: thing is, now that we got characters, I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit worried and I'm gonna have to spend a lot
Speaker 1: more time answering questions. Okay, keep it short, keep it sweet,
Speaker 1: keep it to the point. Maybe they're doing this for
Speaker 1: our commander in tweets, number forty five. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the changes for, but I like that people can
Speaker 1: be a little bit more expansive writing on Twitter. But
Speaker 1: whatever it is you hollow at your boy, I will
Speaker 1: hold you down, getting you ready for week four, getting
Speaker 1: you ready for season long, getting you ready for DFS.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I am here to hold you down.
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow seven to eight pm Eastern Time,
Speaker 1: like we always do, dropping stats over beats on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. Tomorrow we kick off Week four. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got Thursday Night football. We have the Packers and we
Speaker 1: have the Bears. I told you I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: worried about Aaron Rodgers and the backers. They are missing
Speaker 1: both of their starting tackles, and you know how big
Speaker 1: offensive line play can completely undermine and offense. We'll see.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you a little bit more about it on
Speaker 1: tomorrow's episode of Fantasy Freestyle, but on I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: Tune In Radio, the Fantasy Sports YouTube livestream, and of
Speaker 1: course on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm
Speaker 1: your boyd Dane Martinez, speeds and smitten statistician. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the love and the calls. I'll see you tomorrow, right
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm out
