You know that I'm one 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:37.120 of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is. 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.519 It's your point, Dane Martinez, a k A speeds a 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.479 k A to spitting statistician, And you are listening live 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.880 to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.200 Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout. As always, some people 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.800 listening on I Heart Radio on tune In Radio, watching 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.400 live on the Fantasy Sports Network live YouTube stream, we 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.840 got a big time show for you right here on 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.000 a Thursday. As always, I got my man, the manable Principal, Rona, 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.039 keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. Later on, 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.440 we're gonna open up the phone lines. Okay. The number 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.920 of call is eight four four eight four three six 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.039 eight seven nine, And I think I know what the 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:21.160 number one topic of conversation will be for everybody trying 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.000 to holler at speeds this spitting statistician. If you don't 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.640 know within the last couple of hours we have breaking 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.360 news the Fifth Circuit Court has decided to rule in 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.320 the NFL's favor. So what that means is that the 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.880 injunction has been lifted on Ezekiel Elliott and we revert 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.039 back to the six game suspension being in play. Now 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:47.600 here's the catch. The Dallas Cowboys have a bye this 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.560 week weeks week six. They are not expected back on 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.720 the field until week seven, and I think the timing 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.080 is curious of why this is happening right now. I 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:02.240 personally think this has happening right now so that Zeke 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.880 can take his time to get his ducks in a 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:09.480 row and put out yet another appeal. I am getting 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.080 people on Twitter inundating me right now with oh my god, 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.560 should I pick up McFadden or Morris? What should I 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.000 sell Zeke Elliot for? Let me tell you something like 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.760 my name was Aaron Rodgers. My response is gonna be 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:30.440 R E L A X. Relax, calm down. Okay. A 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.600 lot of things can still happen before the Cowboys get 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.680 back on the field in week seven. One of them 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:42.519 is that Ezekiel Elliott could file another appeal at another court, 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.119 this time here in New York. I personally think that 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.960 is what's going to happen. And I personally think Zeke 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:53.560 Elliott still will not be missing the games that we're 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.720 talking about right now. I know that may not be 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.839 a popular opinion, but I'm telling you I would chill 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.240 though when we come back. So here's what we're gonna do. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.160 We are going to talk about how you play this. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.600 If you're a z Elliot owner, We're gonna talk about 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.840 how you play this, if you're a d m C owner, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.560 if you're an Alfred Morris owner, and if you need 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.240 to have some fab budget spent, which one would you 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.520 spend it on. I'm inna holler at everybody here in 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.240 the cipher when we get back on the Fantasy Freestyle. Also, 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.639 we got a Thursday night football game on right now, 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.040 so we gotta pull question up. What do you think 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.720 is the winning parlay? You like the Panthers with the 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.880 three point home favorite or you like the over under 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.520 at forty five? We gotta pull question up on Twitter. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.880 You know what it is that your boy at spitting speeds. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.240 We're gonna find out what you like for Thursday night football. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.760 We're gonna take your calls we've got some spotlight games. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.120 And if you're watching on the live YouTube stream, you 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.000 see we got some new duds overre I got great 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.800 lumbar support. Right here in this new chair, I feel 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.960 like I'm in the cockpit. We got new chairs, but 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.120 we got the same fish. We're still taking Junior. We're 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.560 dropping stats over beats. Is the Fantasy Freestyle with your 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:02.440 boy Speeds. Come a.

Yeah, you 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.719 know what it is. It's Speeds, It's Fitten Satisficition, and 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.000 we are back dropping stats over beats. Is the Fantasy 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.760 Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.240 told you already, I'm not convinced that Zeke misses any 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.159 games yet. I know the ruling just came down, But 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.640 if you are a Zeke owner, don't panic, don't go crazy, 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.360 do not sell him for pennies on the dollar. I'm 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.880 also telling you right now, if you happen to have 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.240 Darren McFadden, if you happen to have alf Morris, I'm 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.480 gonna tell you honestly, you need to shop them right now. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.279 In fantasy football, what you're supposed to do is buy 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:28.000 low and sell high. Okay, the price will never be 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.359 higher for Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris. Then right now, 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.359 with this news, we might hear tomorrow that Zeke Elliott 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.680 is appealing the suspension, and until that one gets hurt, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.800 he's gonna be on the field. You have have a 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.159 window right right now where people are panicking and people 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.920 think that these guys are gonna be actually valuable. I 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.880 don't know that they are. And here's the other point. Okay, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.360 the window of their production, it is what it is. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.520 But here's the thing. The Cowboys offensive line is not 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.000 what it was in years past. Zeke Elliott is an 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.680 elite talent. Okay, he's gonna do work I'm not sure 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.599 Darren McFadden or Alfred Morris can. Alfred Morris is three 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.560 yards and a cloud of dust. That's all he's doing. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.480 He's not making people miss he's not getting more than 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.200 plays are blocked for, and I don't know that they're 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.400 getting blocked as well as they have been in years 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.440 past down there in Dallas. Okay, so officially I'm telling you, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.520 don't panic. I understand I'm getting too many questions on 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.960 Twitter about this. Don't panic. Okay, there's still more chapters 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.719 to be written in this story. I will say this, 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.400 if you're a kind of leage where you gotta spend 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.640 some fat budget and you have opportunity for both of 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.719 these guys, McFadden or Morris, I personally like McFadden a 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.159 little bit better. I think, like I said, Alfred Morris 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.320 is three yards in a cloud of dust. I think 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.360 you know McFadden, even at his injury risk, and even 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.960 though he's no spring chicken, I think he has more shiftiness, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.400 more loosive, this more spark than Alfred Morris. So if 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.599 I had to pick between one or the other, I 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.760 picked Darren McFadden. I think he's the better skilled talent 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.840 and I also think they were trying to keep him 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.360 maybe wrapped in bubble wrapped for the entire season just 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.680 in case this happens. But I'm not sure that it 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.320 officially is happening just yet. And to keep it moving 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.480 though here on the fantasy freestyle, one thing that is 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.880 happening is Tyler Iford is having back surgery. He will 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.800 miss the rest of this season. He's turning out to 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.600 be more of like a Mr. Glass tight end than 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.960 even Jordan's Red. I think this means Tyler Croft is 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.160 viable at a bat as a back end tight end 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.040 one or in the streaming conversation week to week, when 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.440 the Cincinnati Bengals get back into action, Big Ben over 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.239 there in Pittsburgh is saying, we could give Martevis Brian 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.080 a break this week. He's not really being bench And 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.320 this is from the quarterback, not a coach, right, but listen, 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.160 Eli Rodgers is back, it could be time to fade 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.600 Martevis Brian. It looks like Big Ben likes himself a 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.760 little bit of Juju Smith Schuster. Remember about the tweet 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.760 war back and forth between Eli Rodgers and Martevis Bryant 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.840 when they drafted Juju Smith Schuster. It looks like Martevis 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.840 Bryant maybe the one um you know, losing out in 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.760 the sandbox. I'm off Martevis Bryant. I need to see 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.160 him have one of these big plays before I'm back 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.800 on him. Head coach Bruce Arian says that Adrian Peterson 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.920 won't play on third downs. That means to me, Andre 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.640 Ellington's role is still safe. Andre Ellencot's with nine catches 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.240 in his last two weeks. I do not run away 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.520 from Andre Ellingtonton, especially in PPR leagues. I don't think 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.199 Adrian Petersonson is gonna move the needle much. I think 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.079 they're gonna try him. I think he's gonna get a 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.520 lot lot of carries this week against Tampa Bay, but 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.560 I don't think it's gonna pan out that well. And 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.600 I think he's gonna be relegated to the same kind 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.439 of duty that he has been in the past. Uh 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.319 d r C the cornerback in New York, he's suspended 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.000 in definitely by the Giants. I think that, listen. I 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.960 think it's unraveling in New York. I think remember Eli 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.000 Apple has not looked as good as he did in 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.239 his rookie year. You got Jack Rabbin and that's about 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.319 about it. In the backfield there. I like Manny Sanders 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.800 big time this week for Denver. The only problem there 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.400 is if they get up big, might they just be 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.760 running the ball in the second half. In the last 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.480 note that I'll give before we get into the practice reports, 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:20.360 the California wildfires are threatening this Chargers Raiders game. You 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.840 have members of the Oakland Raiders practicing today in gas 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.080 mask because of the air quality that they're seeing there 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.319 right near the wildfires in California. Let me tell you something, 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.199 Mother Nature is undefeated. Whether it's these earthquakes, whether it's 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.199 these hurricanes or now these wildfires. It is truly impacting 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.800 everyone far and wide. Keep an eye on this. They 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.240 may decide to move this game. Um, if it doesn't 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.520 get better. Let me tell you about these practice reports. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.960 These guys not practicing against Sterling Shepherd, balal pal rob 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.360 Kelly with various leg injuries, ankles and calves. I don't 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.319 think these guys are gonna play, okay, so that means 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.400 potentially some a G. P Ryan while balal Pale is 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.880 I don't think gonna play. I do think Matt Forte 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.840 will so that tampers the love on a guy like 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.320 Elijah McGuire. My man, Emory Hunt is big time on 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.680 Elijah McGuire. But if Matt Forte plays, Matt Forte is 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.560 going to get snaps. All right. These guys are limited, 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.719 We're limited in practice and are truly questionable. Okay, we're 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.319 talking about Derek Carr. We're talking about Marcus Mariota as well. 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.560 I think it's trending that both of these quarterbacks will 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:28.120 in fact play. But listen, Sam Bradford played on Monday 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.320 night and he couldn't finish. You know, Derek Cars dealing 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.959 with a back, Marcus Mariota and a hamstring. If he's 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.520 gonna try and you know, get out of the pocket. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.120 He's a big part of that exotic, smash mouth running game. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.439 So we'll see if they rush it back. I'll tell 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.880 you one guy who will know. That's our guy, Dr 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.960 A from Inside Injuries. When I'm here on Sunday morning 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.880 and lineup block Live nine am Eastern all the way 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.400 to kick off, we're gonna be interviewing Doctor A and 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.840 the ten o'clock Eastern hour, We're gonna tell you what 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.720 he thinks about this hamstring for a running quarterback like 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.160 Marcus Mariota, and what is really Derek Carr risking by 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.920 coming back? Tom Brady is gonna play this week. He's 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.000 been removed for the injury report Chargers rookie wide out 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.959 Mike Williams. It also looks like he's trending to make 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.880 his season debut coming back from a back injury from 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.360 the Los Angeles Chargers. All right, here's what I want 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.120 to do. I want to give you my preview of 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.000 the Thursday night game that's coming up in about an 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.360 hour or so. We're talking Eagles and Panthers. I want 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.800 to give you my review of that game, and then 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.199 later on in the show, what we're gonna do is 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.920 we're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.480 four eight four three six, eight seven nine. We're gonna 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.920 try and address your questions about week six and beyond, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.480 trade questions, free agent pickups, and also how to handle 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.560 this if you have a guy like Zeke Elliott, if 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.079 you have a guy like um Darren McFadden on your bench, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.320 if you feel you know what, how should you respond? 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.560 Should you write him out there in week seven? Or 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.480 should you look to try to flip him now when 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.960 he may have the highest value that he is going 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.320 to have all year. Let me tell you about this 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.160 Thursday night football game. First of all, I refer back 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.400 two before the season. Before the season, if you were 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.559 listening to the fantasy freestyle, I did my team by 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.040 team preview and I told you the overrunders for the 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.319 wind totals, and then I gave out my division winners. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.959 And I was catching all sorts of slack because I said, 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.480 I believe that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to win 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.000 the NFC East. I caught a lot of slack because 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.360 I said, I believe the Carolina Panthers are going to 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.679 win the NFC South over the defending NFC champion Falcons. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.080 Both of these teams stand at four and one the 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.240 winner of this game. Imagine if the Eagles win, go 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.880 into Carolina and win to go to five and one, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:35.440 with the Giants unraveling, with the storm of Zeke Elliott 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.599 hovering above the Cowboys, with the Washington football team looking average, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.200 this could be the Eagles grabbing a stranglehold an inside 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.760 pole position on the NFC East. And think about the 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.160 Panthers side of things. Think about what Cam Newton has 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.800 had to already go through. Okay, from me included, I 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.240 think his maturity level is subpar right now. But if 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.439 with all this, the loss of Greg Olsen, the injuries 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.040 to Cam, the evolution of the offense, and if they 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.719 still come away at five and one and with a 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.560 head to head win against the team like the Eagles 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.959 that they could be competing against for a home game 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.199 in the playoffs, I think this is a very big 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.200 game in the NFC and it's coming out right now. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.520 Here's what I'm talking about this game. I love, love, 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.679 love the Carolina Whiteouts in this game. There are some 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.880 Philadelphia cornerbacks that are getting at He tried to address 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.679 this trading for Ronald Darby in the preseason, and then 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.079 Darby went out right away with an ankle injury. He's 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.559 not back yet. I think Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funcius 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.800 are going to eat today against these Philly cornerbacks. Okay, 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.200 I really like that. On the Philly side, you gotta 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.520 love zach Ertz. Okay, I believe zach Ertz is definitely 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.120 a top three tight end moving forward. But Rob Gronkowski 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.719 and Travis Kelsey have injury concerns. Remember Kelsey is in 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.760 the protocol in the cold dark quiet room because of 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.240 his CT symptoms and that concussion that was very scary 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.839 last week. And Yo, Rob Gronkowski, will he or won't 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.440 he play? He's got back, he's got fives. You know, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.240 he's got a lot of things that are banged up. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.760 I love me some zach Ertz. I love the development 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.600 of Carson Wentz. But one thing if you listen to 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.000 the Fantasy freestyle you know about is that I believe 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.480 Carson Wentz is very much tied to All Pro right 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.880 tackle Lane Johnson. Last year, when Lane Johnson was there, 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.560 Carson Wentz looked great. Then Lane Johnson had a ten 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.440 game suspension, and that's right when Carson Wentz his play 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.280 started to plummet in his rookie year. You're also not 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.320 gonna have Wendell Smallwood, who was taking that Darren Sprows 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.720 roll after he got hurt, effectively Smallwood missing his second 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.320 game with the knee injury. You also don't have a 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.600 big stud in the middle for Philadelphia. Fletcher Cox looks 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.520 like he might miss this game as well. He's gonna 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.480 give it a go in warmups, but it's trending that 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.200 he won't play either. Because of all those things and 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.920 because I like the home team. Generally speaking, on Thursday 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.120 Night Football, I think we see a decent quality game, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.440 but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the Carolina 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.280 Panthers going to five and one right now. It is 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:04.280 real tight you in total, say take the Panthers minus 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:08.480 three cent, Say take the Eagles and the points, and 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.520 if we look at the over under, fifty seven percent 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.120 of you like the over. When we come back, we're 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.960 gonna open up the phone lines eight four four eight 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.000 four three six seven none. We're gonna talk about how 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.320 to handle this Z situation and why the fantasy Freestyle 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:26.640 cipher is stronger than ever. Come on, back Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:32.280 Michael Thomas. These three NFL softmores are not due to slump. 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.000 They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.200 Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.560 Make sure listen live and dell o the app f 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.720 and t s Y Radio.

Let me tell you something. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.520 I talk all the time to my friends, to my 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.920 family about how overjoyed I am that I get to 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.120 help out you guys at eight four four eight four 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.720 three six eight seven nine. I got people hitting me 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.800 up on Twitter from Australia, from Europe, from New Zealand 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.280 and listen. Sometimes people contribute nicknames to the show, like 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.360 Joe Mix on mix Off. We had Adam I'm feeling myself. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.720 We also had you know, we had a guy that's 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.240 gonna be sending us beats to use Bavon or whatever 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.400 happened with that. We still got some of those beats 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:14.840 from one of the listeners that we can use in 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.200 the right format. Something like that. Chris, we just gotta 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.760 get a new format. I'm gonna email him tonight. All right, 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.200 it sounds good. Everyone can contribute answering the polls calling in. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.840 Remember I had that time about who had the bad 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.240 beats and people are sending in pictures on that last 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.639 play the Kansas City game. But this is absolutely the craziest. 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.000 If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, if you follow 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.359 the crew on Twitter, you know that the sipher here 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.159 in Fantasy Freestyle is strong. Check this out earlier in 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.800 the week. Earlier in the week, we had a poll 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.359 like the Waiver Wire, who should play, who should be running? 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.720 Who should you spend your budget on? That sort of thing. 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.240 Simon on Twitter, one of the follow us here on 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.560 the show, said that what you should do is pick 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.840 up Akim Hunt running back on the Kansas City Chiefs 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.320 and then front to the people in your league like 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.640 Hunt was really Kareem Hunt and see if you can 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.200 get anything back. It's one of those like can hurt 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.399 to try? Right? And I was like, sure, if that 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.800 evil would work, sure or give it a shot? Right. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.959 I found out last night I got hit up on Twitter. 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.080 Guy Marcus Torres. He made it happen. He picked up 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:22.280 a chim Hunt and traded him straight up for Leonard 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.760 Fournett in his league. And then he hit me up 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.000 on Twitter. I was like, I don't believe you. That's crazy, 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.200 that sound. I don't believe that that's actually gonna happen. 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.720 He sent me a picture of his computer screen saying 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.480 that the trade was being processed, that it was expected. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.240 Now I ask you, fantasy freestyle cipher fairer foul? Is 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.240 that cool or not? I'm I put it up on 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.320 Twitter and everyone is saying like, yeah, it's all good. 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.440 It's pretty much all good, and then put the blame 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.879 on the Fornet owner for accepting that kind of trade. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.160 And I think, I I think, while it's like ingenious 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.480 and creative and great, it's a little questionable. But I 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.280 gotta tell you, this world of fantasy football is roof list, 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.439 and so I am with it. I had to let 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.600 you guys know that I love when y'all hit me 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.680 up with all that stuff. We're trying to build the 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.040 community here to citeher on Fantasy Free Thought. We drop 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.840 our stats over beats and we help you win your 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.280 leagues and win that cash. So, without further ado, we're 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.640 gonna open up the phone lines right now. See how 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:18.520 I can help you out for week six. I know 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.240 there's gonna gonna be a lot of ZKE owners out 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.080 there as well. The number of call is eight four 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.000 four eight four three six eight seven nine. We're gonna 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:29.399 kick it off today with Francisco in California. Francisco, you 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.800 are in Cali. You're dropping stats over beats with the 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:36.720 spitting statistician. What's good with you? Boy? What how you 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:41.359 doing doing? Alright? So I got two questions for you. Um, 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.320 I want to get your thoughts on this trade I made, 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.520 and uh, I want to know who to startle from, 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:52.399 Benjamin or Adam Feeling. I love both of those guys, Francisco, 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.640 I love both of those guys tonight. I think Benjamin 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.680 has a big game against that Philadelphia secondary that has 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.360 not been great. And I love Adam Feeling this week, 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.840 especially if Stefan can you digs? It can't go with 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.239 that groin injury. You say, KB and Feeling? Who are 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.439 these other wide receivers? Because I would actually try to 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.960 find a way to start both of them. So, Francisco, 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:13.560 before you get to your trade, who else are your 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:19.440 other wide receivers that are over both Benjamin and Feeling? Well, well, yeah, 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.800 that's ties into the trade to Okay, I gotta Antonio 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.920 Brown in the trade. Oh that's great. So what's the trade. 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.280 Let's talk about this. What's the trade? I gave up 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:34.960 Sean McCoy and Brandon Cooks and you got back. I 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.159 love it, Alex Smith, Oh I love it. I absolutely 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:39.680 love it. I think and people are talking about Alex 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.400 Smith is an m VP candidate. Antonio Brown is obviously 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.760 a stud. The reason I love it is because both 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.879 Cooks and McCoy have yet to really perform. Cooks has 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.280 kind of been, you know, off again, on again with 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.080 New England, and I am very down on Shady McCoy. 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.399 If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.119 Buffalo offense has no kind of force and power behind it. 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.639 Losing Jordan Matthews, losing Charles Clay. Let me ask you this, Francisco, 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.280 if you were a defensive coordinator playing against the Buffalo Bills. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.879 Wouldn't you spend all your energy trying to stop Lashawn McCoy. 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.600 I think that's what's gonna happen. So I absolutely love 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:15.480 the trade. I love any trade where you can get 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.560
