Yeah, man, 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.000 it's a little bitter sweet. You know, obviously with the 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:57.320 rise of the DFS, winning your league, you know, getting 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.400 a bye, being in the playoffs is not the be 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.760 all and end all. And I'm in a couple of 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.760 leads that are a little shallower ten team leagues where 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.360 I'm still fighting for a playoff spot, but that are 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.480 still the regular season. Huh Yeah, it's still a regular season, 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.920 so you gotta pay attention. I did not, as you know, 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.839 finishing the top six in our home four team team 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.119 keeper league. You did, and you've gotta buy, so I gotta. 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.120 I gotta tip my cap to you and take congratulations 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.240 on that. It's been a good regular season. Hope none 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.240 of your dudes get hurt when they should be taking 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.600 arrest on that bench this week, though, we're hearing for 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.680 no injuries and no fantasy for his style listeners that 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.319 Rocks brought that up. I did not bring up my 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.679 own fantasy team. Okay, I'm ready to keep hit moving 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.000 like we need to do. Rocks, he'll check this out. 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.160 Last week, we saw the first couple of games in 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:48.480 the snow, and that dramatically, That dramatically changed things for 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.160 a couple of people, most notably Colin Kaepernick with a 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.440 one out of four for five yards showing and he 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.680 was eventually pulled. There were some crazy thing in the 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.800 game in the snow in Green Bay as well. Um 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.240 besides not only uh you know, there being no completion 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.800 in the first quarter in the game in Chicago. In 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.720 Green Bay, we saw our tampered production brock Os oiler 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.040 not really doing it. But you and I rocks. We 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.320 had a gentleman's bet on DeAndre Hopkins in that game, 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.919 and with a late touchdown in the snow, I think 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.760 DeAndre Hopkins we had a gentleman's better m you would 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.480 finish in the top of Morning four. He in fact 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.240 rocks last night, So he was sixteens going into Monday 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.799 Night football. I think probably only t Y Hilton outscored him. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.000 Uh so I would. I think it's safe to say 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.720 that he was in the top twenty four this week 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.959 market of the gentleman's bet on the side for speed. 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.519 But what do you think about the snow in general 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.799 starting to impact as we get into December. Yeah. One 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.720 of the things I feel about that is that you know, 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.000 obviously unique to always check before the one o'clock games 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.200 kick off, but it's even more important in DFS, where 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:04.760 your entire lineup locks after that first game starts. And 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.320 as someone last week who initially recommended not only Colin Kaepernick, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.080 who shot the world by only completing one pass, but 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.040 Matt Barkley, who had a decent game by the low 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.960 bar that Matt Barkley has said, um, but those are 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.959 both guys that I holed out of my life and 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.840 I saw that it was going to be snowing in Chicago. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.400 One thing I'll say is if you're the type of 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.920 person who likes to when the slate is looking we 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.720 on a Thursday, play those Thursday to Sunday or Thursday 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.400 to Monday games, I would avoid doing that as the 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.960 weather can become increasingly in issue and there's basically nothing 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.920 you can do when you see that blizzard heading in 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.880 and you've got two wide receivers playing in those games. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.640 So that's just something I would say avoid that as always. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.920 You know, I know your settings, make sure you have 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.960 bench options available. If you've got guys going in the 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.920 you know, the the Northeast and UH and the Midwest, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.280 where those conditions can be brutal, then that tundra can 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.520 get frozen. Yeah, I've been talking about the gradually freezing 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.200 Tunja of lambeau Field, you know rocks. That brings up 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.480 another good point. Not only is it the point in 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.040 the season when snow and weather starts to get involved, 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.440 you also have to start to consider this is the 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.120 point of the time of the year where some of 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.240 the teams know they are out of it and are 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.200 starting to uh, you know, make their reservations for their 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.599 tea times and their golf and their vacations. Can you know, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.440 like consider the New York j E T s Jet 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.039 and Jets Jets last week completely laying hey done, gave 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.919 up and quit in that game on Monday Night football. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.520 Now they're going to the West coast and even against 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.000 the crazy, horrible San Francisco team, that team is actually 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.360 uh giving up points against the Jets because everyone thinks 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.200 they've mailed it in. I think someone like the San 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.880 Francisco defense out of nowhere becomes viable. And there's a 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.880 number of teams in this situation. It's the equivalent of 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.640 you know, playing your kids. I think we have crossed 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.960 that threshold now for a lot of teams, even the 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.040 grounds looking to get r G three back. Um, So 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.920 what do you think about ronson time in terms of also, 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.760 you know, people starting to give up and how might 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.680 that impact or rest players, how might that impact your week? 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.039 Is moving down the stretch. The number one draft pick 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.560 in the NFL is an incredibly, incredibly valuable thing. You know, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.719 You've seen rebuilding efforts basically based entirely on having that 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.160 number one pick, hitting the lotto and getting a franchise 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.400 quarterback or selling it for a king's ransom and restocking 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.080 your entire system with the picks in the years to com. 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.039 One of the things I'll say, you know, specifically to 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:32.160 your point, is that I don't necessarily think that San 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.680 Francisco defense is going to be a ban play this 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.480 week alongline is what you're saying. They made the Jets 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.279 made the indie defense look like world beaters last week, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.040 and and that was that was with Ryan Fitspatrick played 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.960 a decent part of the game that you know, perhaps 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.560 race heading might be the answer in the future, he 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.320 is not the answer on the road in week fourteen. Well, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.039 listen here, Rocks, like you know, this is the time. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.440 So your point, this is what you were saying the 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.600 four of the off air. This is the time of 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.920 the year where you're starting to try to just maximize 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.320 your matchup. Do you have two or three weeks left? 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.520 You know? Interesting it up. If you were listening to 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.159 the shot followers yesterday on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.080 I got a call from my home girls, Terry from 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.800 New Jersey. She made her playoffs, as uh carring callers, 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.479 she made a playoffs. She thanks mespen statission, but she 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.159 said she was worried about the Giants defense that she's 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.200 had all year. I say, yeah, you do not play 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.400 the Giants defense this week with JPP going out against 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.440 the Capols, I'm you know, looks are like the sin 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.000 uh the San Francisco's. I was like, look for Indianapolis, 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.400 they've been horrible all here, but they're playing against brockofs Filer. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.840 I was like, get the matchups, and you know, at 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.400 this point of this season, there are a couple of 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.560 teams that are you know, just failing it in and 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.480 you need to you need to maximize these matchups in 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.720 the season long leagues. One of the tanks. One of 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.599 the things that you said too. You know, if you're 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.240 playing in Elite and then start to two wide receivers, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.760 there's no more pies. You don't eat five wide receivers 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.960 on your roster unless you you have the best wide 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.039 receiver corps. However, what you do need, maybe though, is 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.720 the best deep on the wire right now by a 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.599 matchups that's gonna be a Week fifteen play, which you 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.800 do need to do against something else that you said 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.760 letely agree with, handcuffed your stud running backs. It's insane 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.080 to me how many of these guys that need to 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.040 be handcuffed, their handcuffed is sitting out there in fifties 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.760 sixty seventy percent a league. There's just reason that it's 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:28.280 crazier than that. Alfred Morris fourteen percent old? Okay, uh 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.520 Jalen was Shard in Oakland twelve percent old? Are you 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.880 kidding me? If you're a playoff team, it's very possible 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.280 you've been riding a Z t O Elliott or Latavius 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.800 Murray all year and you're gonna tell me what behind 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.360 the two best offensive lines in football, you're not want 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.559 that opportunity? How how are you going to league where 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.280 you have Littavius Murray hud like a ninety nine percent 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.000 old and then Jailor Shard only twelve percent old? You 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.920 know what I mean? You saw this basic? You saw 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.440 this basic. Same thing happened last year where a lot 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.000 of teams road tim Ey Tower in that hyperpowered Saints 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.200 offense to the championship, and sifinitely he was he was 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.520 out there. Maybe he wasn't someone who was as well known, 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:14.119 but these are well established handcuffs situated patients and if 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.400 they could do one thing in this week's show. It's 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.280 implore you right now. It's it's action full information. You 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:24.720 just get out there, brought your fourth quarterback, drop your 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.360 ninth wide receiver, drop your third tight end or whatever 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.520 it is where you have redundant extraneous death and take 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.720 off that back handoffs right now, yo, speaking at that 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:40.560 time of year, uh to show up Baseball base Winter 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.520 touch it we keeping it hot in the winter meetings 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.640 show that's on in the streets. If you remember from 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:50.760 Fantasy Free Style during the baseball season of we're both 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.120 Yankee fans. We all know this, but Grissel to the 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.320 Red Soxes do plaino in my opinion, because that gives 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.680 them not one, not to but three sid young lefties 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.920 in their rotation. When you have Sale twice and Porcella, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.800 we know the Red Sox can have. They surpassed leveland 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.840 with the acquisition of Sale, it's the best team in 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.520 the American League. Yeah. I mean, what I would say, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.000 Speeds is that the Red Sox have remained one of 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.360 the deeper farm systems in the league. And you see 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.640 them give it up a pad of giving up this 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.360 kid that throws a hundred and five, Well, again, they 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.559 gave up a lot, but the Red Sox I think 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:33.760 have re established themselves as clear cut when now mode. Honestly, though, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.640 the loss of Big Poppy is not something that's going 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.640 to be ridiculously easy to replace. Today, they just signed Uh. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.040 They signed Mitch Morelands to play on some first base 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.199 on them. That's gonna move Handley to the DH all 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.199 the time. You know, no it doesn't, But honestly, it's 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.640 it's addition by subtraction, getting Hanley out of that, out 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.160 of the outfield and Uh into the d H missions. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.360 I think honestly. They also signed Cog Cog to go 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.280 with Wade Davis. The Red Sox are making moves in 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.320 their Harrista publishing themselves. I think the team that's saying 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.559 we want to be in that World Series next year, Cleveland. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.800 You know, they did that all without mich Michael Brantley. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.599 Michael Brantley was really the pace of their franchise for 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.240 the two years before he he went down with shoulder injury, 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.880 couldn't really get right all year. He's gonna be another 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.000 guy that's gonna contribute for them that didn't do much 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.760 last year. It will be really interesting to see what 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.679 they're able to do as free agency continues. But going 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.520 back to our beloved Yanks, me and you have been 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.440 going back and forth. We didn't really talk about it, 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.000 but we we've been texted a little bit. Uh Matt Holiday. Yeah, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.599 I'm not excited about Matt Holliday. I actually uh, I 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.360 think he's just gonna block at bats from guys like 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.640 Kyler Austin, guys like Greg Bird, guys like that, and 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.040 judge guys like Rev. Snyder. I want I think this 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.200 year is the last year of the turnover of Ronny 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.040 Cashman's plan. This is where you you get the rest 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.200 of the money off the books. You know, the CC 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:52.959 money comes off the books, and you're then you have 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.880 in plying position. So what I would have liked to 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.280 have done this year is let all the kids play, 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.199 Let the sanchez Is play, you know, let everybody play, 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:01.840 and then we're gonna be in a better position to 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.400 see what it is that we want to invest our 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.640 money in, and we would then be able to do so. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.640 I would have let all these twenty five year old arms, bitch, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.120 I want to see what we have and then I 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.599 make my move in the market. I actually think the 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.960 Yankees will wind up in a couple of years with 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.920 the Josh Donaldson and Bryce Harper, and that'll be the 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.040 studs of a new of a new reign for the 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.679 New York Yankes. But that is a long time away, 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.040 especially with the Red Sox looking as dope at they do, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.080 you know, so we're definitely gonna keep holding you down 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.679 with all these free agency moves what they mean. And 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.520 it is that time of the year though, Rispiens. You know, 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.000 I'm starting to do a little bit of Christmas shopping 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.280 to the wife for for my parents, my brother, and 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.080 I was just thinking, you know, I was always a 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.920 big sports fan. I was thinking back at some of 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.679 the great presents I got as a kid growing up. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.240 You know, some of the things we're kind of sports 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:59.240 related that really kind of made my childhood. Now we're 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.360 really the dopest the best present I received in terms 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.400 of dollars spent by Santa Claus. He a, Mom and Dad, 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:13.840 don't say that Santa Claus. Uh, Santa Claus, your kids 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.679 bet could be playing that fantasy Um for real, that's 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.040 the stuff. A long time to hope you got it, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.000 um yea, But I got probably and I want to say, 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.160 it was like whenever it dropped Techmo Super super Bowl 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.120 after the original Nintendo. It's made quite a comeback. In 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.920 some of those commercial featuring Bo Jackson, Jack's probably played 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:38.680 games thou hours. What was your best sports related Christmas 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.360 present that you received when you were growing up as 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.440 a kid in the Bronx. You know, I like the 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.320 ones you were talking about before. You know, love the 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.400 Papa shot on the basketball group. But I have reminded 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.520 because my mom still tells me the story of her 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.600 waiting outside the back of a truck. Do you know 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.559 what I'm saying to be able to get Mike Tyson's 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.960 punched out back in the day. So that was a 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.840 big time game. I didn't like the Technical super Bowl, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.040 but I do remember the lengths that my mom said 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:05.440 she went to and you know it fell off the 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.160 truck for her in the end. I also like experiences 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.240 over things with my friends, so I like getting tickets 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.719 to games and stuff like that. I still do that. 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.040 And that's where Rocks and Speeds are gonna do. We 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.000 we go to the games. We hold her down with 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.640 all this information. It is that time of year Rocks 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.600 when we come back. Though it's going into Week fourteen. 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.360 These people need to know what to do to win 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:30.400 their league and win that we cash. So that's what 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.640 we're gonna do. And check it out. Yo. Uh I 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.000 put my money where my mouth is. Rock said it before. 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.600 As you know, I'm still playing. I have both Sharkantric 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.640 West and D'Angelo Williams backing up my running backs hopefully 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.000 though someone on the wave of wire. Hey, Rocks, you 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.840 think someone can get one of those new Jersey State 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.880 troop producers of that on Monday Night football. Yo, they 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:53.320 were covering ground and laying the boom. Yo. If you playing, 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.720 I d be leaks. They have to have been the 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.600 hottest waiver pick up word. I would use my waiver 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.480 wire claim for that. And listen, I might still beat something. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.280 Check it out when we come back. When Rocks and 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.680 Speeds are gonna do here on Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.440 drop stats over beats. On the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.679 We're gonna go game by game, tell you who to sit, 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.440 who start, who to fade, and what you need to 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.000 do to make it happen. In we fourteen, Rocks and 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.640 Speeds Fantasy Sports Radio Network come all right back. Hate 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:30.920 them Fills, hay them Bills. Hello, you play to win 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:35.560 the game, you don't play to just play it. You 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.360 already know this is Rocks and Speeds were dropping stats 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.720 over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.520 Radio Network. We are getting you ready for a Week fourteen. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.320 There's a few games that we have interesting takes on 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.520 Rocks and Speeds. We gotta hold you down. The first 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.200 game we want to look at, right, Rocks, is this 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.840 Chicago Bears Detroit Lions. You know I've been on Jim 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.240 Bob Boder the entire season and now low and beat old. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.200 The Detroit Lions are in first place. They are eight 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.440 and a half point favorites at home. I don't know, Rocks, 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.680 for a team where Matthew Stafford has had to leave 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.640 them back for seven of their wins when they were 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.800 down in the fourth quarter, I don't see how they 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.040 can be giving up eight and a half points in 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.520 a division game, even against the team that is on 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.720 its last legs at the Chicago Bears. How do you 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.040 see this game, Rocks? I mean, I think probably a 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.520 lot of that spread has got to look at how 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.040 well they did. Lions died on the road last week 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.520 against the New Orleans team have been similar to the 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.840 Detroit Lions, and that they've played a lot of close, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.280 tough games, whereas the Detroit Lions have won of those 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.400 games but Saints have lost them. One thing I will say, 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.800 Jim Bob Cooder, and that Detroit Lions offense have really 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.440 really limited their turnovers. Matt Stafford has only thrown five 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:55.480 picks on the year against twenty one touchdowns. That is incredible. 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.320 And they're doing that, They're being efficient, They're not actually 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.280 producing it on the York's speed. Wouldn't shock you if 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.720 I said that the Chicago Bears offense is actually averaging 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.040 more yards per game than the Detroit Lions and that 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.720 Jim Bob Cooterer, No, that would be a function of 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.720 garbage time yards in my opinion. And remember all the 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.160 way back to the beginning of the year, Rocks, I 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.160 told you that the evolution for Matthew Stafford would come 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.600 from the fact that he would not have to focus 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.560 in and force the ball into Megatron, thus being able 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.360 to take care of the ball more and utilize the like. So, no, 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.360 they don't have a number one weapon, but they have 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.600 four five weapons that are all legitimate and can create 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.800 mismatches on a third corner or safety, whether it's Theo 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.200 Rittick or Ricky Ron or I it's any one of 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.920 their three wideouts, Golden Taid, Aguan Goolden or Marvin Jones 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.360 Away do think will be back this week. On the 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.720 Chicago side of things, Rocks, I like Cameron Meredith this week. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.240 He is like the only healthy Chicago Bears wide receiver, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:00.280 you know, like any Royal and Mark Keiths Wilson, although 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.240 he did return to practice later in the week, it 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.399 might give it a go. I think Cameron Meredith is 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.040 the wide receiver to own and had only fifty four 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.600 hundred dollars that's margain basement against the Detroit Lions defense 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.720 that is thirty feet in defensive dv O A despite 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.680 holding you know, Drew Reas and the Don's only thirteen points. 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.840 I think this Detroit defense can be had. I think 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.919 Cavern Meredith is the guy to do it. He's the 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.480 only person I like on Chicago with the exception of 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.400 you know, Jordan Howard when you run out and it's 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.879 probably a back end RB one for the rest of 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.960 the season. Yeah, I would definitely say and I would 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.200 surprised me while I was looking into this game, Jordan 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.240 Howard is actually tied for the league lead with some 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.640 of those big names you would expect with five hundred 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.480 rushing yard games this season. That's that's that's despite the 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.640 fact that he did not get hold of that backfield 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.560 until a couple of games into the season. Jeremy Lankford, 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.280 who showed up in a big way last week. I 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.680 had him a couple of a couple of hash games 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.440 that really paid off with the three touchdowns. And while 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.840 that Detroit Lions defence has been pretty trash as a 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.399 whole this year, they've improved a bit. One of the 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:11.760 other things I just want to say to look at 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.399 real quickly in this one is Matt Barkley. We're speaking about, obviously, 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.680 the teams that need to see what they have. I 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.720 don't necessarily think that Matt Barkley is going to be 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.159 the answer moving forward. I do think, though, that he 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.680 has really performed admirably and a couple of starts this year. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.199 Has a third string quarterback on a team where the 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.639 first and second string quarterback were no hot stuff to 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:38.400 begin with, very important games on the slates, not only 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.880 in fantasy football, but in real football is what where 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.600 you want to go? Yeah, I'm going to give you 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.639 a hot second pack him long. John's get those construction 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.000 tims with those little things where you smash them up 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.760 and they keep your feet warm. Make sure you've got 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.800 a lot of layers on that tour. So we're going 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.120 up to Buffalo. We're going up to Buffalo for the 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.359 seven and five stealers against a six and six Bills. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.679 Teams to be eaves. I know that you like it 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:06.080 when teams basically try to do opposite things to each other. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.280 The Bills want to run the ball. The Steelers make 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.120 teams passed a funnel. Everything through the passing game, they 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.360 really sat the box. What gives do you think in 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.800 this one up north in Buffalo? We can't imagine it's 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:22.359 going to be too nice to be in the stands. 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.520 It might not be nice to be in the stands, 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.160 but I think both teams will be able to move 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.919 the ball. The Buffalo offense is underrated in my opinion, 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.600 although I will say this news out of Buffalo this 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:33.200 week that they are not sure if they want to 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.280 commit to Tyrod Taylor UM beyond two thousand seventeen. Tyrod 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.480 Taylor to me as a classic example of someone who 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.919 is a better real quarterback than fantasy quarterback. You know, 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:47.400 um Tyrod Taylor only getting you know what, ninety one 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.760 yards last week. He does get the rushing touchdowns to 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.960 the Salvages day, but I would ride Shady McCoy in 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.600 this game. I think they're gonna ride Shady McCoy. I 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.800 think even though the Steelers are six in the NFL 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:02.000 and on defense to give up only ninety two yards 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:05.520 a game, I don't think Anthony Lynn cares. Anthony Lynn 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.159 is making his living off of Shady McCoy and he 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.560 will continue to do so. And if it's for excited things, 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.480 you know exactly what you're gonna get from Big Ben, 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.560 from Left Bell and from maybe I would like to 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.280 say that yet another week, I would like to call 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.119
