Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We do this thing all
Speaker 1: the time. We got them beats, dropping stats over beats
Speaker 1: to make you win your league and win that cash.
Speaker 1: Your rocks say, what's up to the people? Ye know
Speaker 1: what's good? Everybody HiT's your boy rocks. One young fist
Speaker 1: full of rings, young plane kiffing with the paint dripping,
Speaker 1: turn your head and your day missing. I'm here with
Speaker 1: my boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. You know that's a mouthful.
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you, guys all you need to get
Speaker 1: ready for week nine. We've been doing this football thing
Speaker 1: for a minute, but we also back when baseball was
Speaker 1: still popping in those regular season leagues. We were doing
Speaker 1: that fantasy bo Jacks and that fantasy Dion Sanders and
Speaker 1: doing both. And let's just let's just come back to
Speaker 1: baseball for a second. Man, this was this was a
Speaker 1: glorious time for baseball. Yo Ross and Speeds. We gotta
Speaker 1: talk about this. What was historic Game seven. I'm you know,
Speaker 1: on so many levels if you listen to the shot
Speaker 1: call and SPEEDI spinting statistician has been talking about how
Speaker 1: Tito Francona has been managing the bullpen and Joe Madden
Speaker 1: made a couple of crazy bullpen moves bringing in Lester
Speaker 1: Using Chapman in Game six. That was insane. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could argue that that could have cost him the
Speaker 1: entire series. So it definitely could have because you know
Speaker 1: he didn't have it in Game seven. But then check
Speaker 1: this out. There was also a rain delay in extra
Speaker 1: innings of Game seven of the World Series. You know
Speaker 1: what it reminded me of. There was so many instances
Speaker 1: with the baseball gods were at play here. I've been
Speaker 1: staying on shot call. Is that our oldest Chapman with
Speaker 1: his history, with his past, and that DV nonsense. He
Speaker 1: daved the baseball gods were gonna not let him be
Speaker 1: the guy on the mound when the Cubs broke the series,
Speaker 1: so he gave it up. I also thought it was
Speaker 1: very interesting check this out, David Ross. You know, in
Speaker 1: his last ever Man David Man hits a home run
Speaker 1: to actually redeem himself because when he came in the
Speaker 1: game right away with Lester, he had a pass ball,
Speaker 1: he had a bad throw, but he redeems himself with
Speaker 1: a home run. I also thought in a similar situation
Speaker 1: Rajai Davis in that inning that the Cubs uh scored
Speaker 1: early on, he on a sack fly, had a high
Speaker 1: frow and in that and he took a bad route
Speaker 1: to a ball that he could have made a play
Speaker 1: on in right center field that allowed an extra run
Speaker 1: to score. He then redeems himself against the world this
Speaker 1: chat men in the eighth inning, and that was and
Speaker 1: that was you know, if not if that game had
Speaker 1: come out a little bit differently, that would be the
Speaker 1: hit everyone was talking about. The extra And then check
Speaker 1: it out. Then on top of it, as we go
Speaker 1: to extra innings, the skies open up and we have
Speaker 1: a rain delay. It reminded me Rocks remember that this
Speaker 1: year when h A. Rod had that ceremony. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like when it was exactly what I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: what's going on now? And actually, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw this, but on the field when everybody was
Speaker 1: celebrating and whatnot, after the Cubs actually won, they all
Speaker 1: to men credited the rain delay and then credited Jason
Speaker 1: Hayward for being the team leader who brought the group
Speaker 1: together and inspired them to get that levy on that focus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to get that focus focus focus. So very interesting and
Speaker 1: you know because um, Hayward wasn't really doing much with
Speaker 1: the bat all season and now he's been a huge
Speaker 1: disappointment before we move on to to football. Uh, this
Speaker 1: basically solidified Steo Epstein Hall of Fame. I would say so.
Speaker 1: I mean he and even even though he dropped the
Speaker 1: F bomb on live TV, I mean, we won't be
Speaker 1: dropping any F bombs today. Don't Sports radio network, No,
Speaker 1: I do words, you can't stay on radio that don't button.
Speaker 1: I do think that. Yeah, Fiel's gotta be Hall of fame.
Speaker 1: He's um, you know, broken two curses now, which is
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous to two franchises in the major leagues that
Speaker 1: was starved for a championship the most ad theo Epstein.
Speaker 1: A few years later you get a World Series championship.
Speaker 1: So absolutely. But here's the thing. I do want to
Speaker 1: bring this up as we maybe transition to football a
Speaker 1: little bit Rocks. We don't want no f bombs here.
Speaker 1: We also I don't know if you saw online TV
Speaker 1: last week in that Buffalo game where there was a
Speaker 1: giant um sex toy. Yeah, I guess I was gonna
Speaker 1: call it a dildo, But there was that on the
Speaker 1: field and there's like a fan threw it on the
Speaker 1: What was it? Was it? Uh by a Buffalo fan
Speaker 1: because they're not they're known to be ready. Was that
Speaker 1: a comment, I don't know what it was. A comment
Speaker 1: on the defense taking a step, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was, a comment on there was a comment on
Speaker 1: holding or illegal hands or you know, a false start.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that was used. But it was
Speaker 1: a penalty on so many levels. You check it out.
Speaker 1: You got to clean it up. Man, there's kids watching.
Speaker 1: I know when when I grew up. I don't want
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton running an ad against me and fancy freestyle.
Speaker 1: Oh man, no, No, we don't want that. Get out
Speaker 1: and vote to people. Yeah, regardless of which candidate you support,
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, you should definitely vote Clinton. It's really really important.
Speaker 1: It's a right that we have as Americans. Voter Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton or least don't go over count and uh and yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's our official take on the fancy
Speaker 1: freestyles that you should vote. Um, you know, moving on.
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't really sure how many people around
Speaker 1: the country know that that a sex toy at dil
Speaker 1: Do as you called it. I'm just not a term
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with. What is is that? Google it? Google
Speaker 1: it was thrown on the field in Buffalo. Did you
Speaker 1: know that the MLS playoffs are currently happening, And for
Speaker 1: our listeners out there, MLS sans or Major League Soccer,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a place. It's like the football. It's
Speaker 1: like the football. Is that the Europans? Uh? Oh no,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was anything being thrown on
Speaker 1: the field, but there will be a New York City
Speaker 1: playoff game at Yankee Stadium this Sunday, So I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that. But does it make sense for for MLS?
Speaker 1: We're just trying desperately to grow their grow their product.
Speaker 1: In the u S, I going up against the NFL
Speaker 1: on Sundays and the World Series at the same time.
Speaker 1: Even in for scheduling and even within soccer, they have
Speaker 1: that weird different designated player time when they're on loan,
Speaker 1: they're off, their schedule is different from the rest of Europe.
Speaker 1: I don't know. MLS. I don't know if they've gotten
Speaker 1: it right, but it's hard when your season runs or
Speaker 1: something like forty weeks of the calendar year. But you know,
Speaker 1: forty weeks of the NFL of the MLS year. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: it be great if there were forty weeks of fantasy football?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you'd see careers get a lot
Speaker 1: shorter because okay, the NFL does not care about players safety,
Speaker 1: as we know. But we are in that the middle
Speaker 1: of the fantasy football season, right, So this is really
Speaker 1: that time where teams are starting to make moves, you
Speaker 1: identify if you are a contender or a pretender. The
Speaker 1: buyers are starting to get involved. There's more and more injuries.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's a violent game. Those chickens are
Speaker 1: coming home to russ and you know, one of the
Speaker 1: things I would say is that we mentioned, you know,
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball. Fantasy baseball is a marathon. Um, fantasy football
Speaker 1: is a sprint so weeks so we can it's over
Speaker 1: before you know it and need to adapt quickly. And
Speaker 1: you also need to know, particularly of course in those
Speaker 1: keeper and dynasty leagues, if you're gonna be a buyer
Speaker 1: or a seller, and making that decision is one that
Speaker 1: can have serious long term ramifications and it is not
Speaker 1: one that should be taken lightly speeds. You and I
Speaker 1: were just talking about this. I became a seller in
Speaker 1: our long term keeper league. Like you know, I'm on
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. My team doesn't have the upside,
Speaker 1: and I moved well was a key piece. But I
Speaker 1: really think that making that decision when when you're a
Speaker 1: buyer or seller, needs to be done when you were
Speaker 1: able to set the market. The last thing you want
Speaker 1: to do is be scrambling to find a partner, you know,
Speaker 1: when everyone else is all coupled up at the end
Speaker 1: of the night. And and you also don't want to
Speaker 1: wind up watching your studs that the pieces you're going
Speaker 1: to trade for greater value get hurt, because as you said,
Speaker 1: it's a violent game. It's over the six team game season.
Speaker 1: You know. I just really feel like it's a tough decision.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna do what, you gotta go all
Speaker 1: in and jump on it. What are your thoughts about absolutely?
Speaker 1: I mean my phot about it is very very simple.
Speaker 1: When we say all the time here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle is know your settings and know your league, all right,
Speaker 1: and that he includes when the trading deadline is have
Speaker 1: an honest evaluation of yourself. I feel like you know
Speaker 1: what you need to do and then just make it happen.
Speaker 1: When we come back. What we're gonna do is we're
Speaker 1: gonna go give you our spotlight game coverage for Week
Speaker 1: nine of the NFL season. We're gonna stick to football
Speaker 1: moving forward, although Rocks may have some more endorsements. As
Speaker 1: we move forward, we're gonna tell you who we endorse,
Speaker 1: We paide who you said who start, and then later
Speaker 1: on we're gonna give you those diamonds, those game flow
Speaker 1: geniuses and the Fantasy food Zy. Forget about your Rocks
Speaker 1: and Speeds, Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: We'll be back. Playoffs. Playoffs, You're kidding made playoffs? I
Speaker 1: just hope you can't win a game. Hello, you play
Speaker 1: to win the game, you don't play it, play it.
Speaker 1: You know what it is, Rocks and Speeds in the
Speaker 1: place to be, It's the Fantasy Freestyle. We're dropping status
Speaker 1: over beats. I hope you keep bobbing your head making
Speaker 1: you stay so fly as you get informed that have
Speaker 1: everything you need to win your league and win that cash.
Speaker 1: Just as Rocks and Speeds. You're listening to us on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network checking out Rocks. There's so
Speaker 1: many ways they can hear the Fantasy Freestyle. You know.
Speaker 1: Not only can they hear it on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network, but they could just subscribe on iTunes. They
Speaker 1: could do that. You know. Do you know that that
Speaker 1: we're on Google Play these days? So they can get
Speaker 1: us on Google Play. They can get us on Stitcher.
Speaker 1: You know about Stitcher. I've heard about it. To tell
Speaker 1: you the truth, I don't really know about it. I
Speaker 1: don't know too much about these platforms, but I do
Speaker 1: know that we know how to give them the information
Speaker 1: they need to win their leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: Let's get into some of the more interesting games going
Speaker 1: on in the league this week. We're in week nine
Speaker 1: right now, Speeds. We've talked a lot about teams that
Speaker 1: are coming out of their buys. We've talked a lot
Speaker 1: about teams that are on their buy so fantasy players
Speaker 1: really really need to adjust. We're gonna give you maybe
Speaker 1: a couple of guys and some of these games that
Speaker 1: you might consider picking up, and some of these guys
Speaker 1: that you might not think it, but you'd want to
Speaker 1: sit for. This week, let's start with the Dallas Cleveland matchup.
Speaker 1: Dallas looking pretty good, Cleveland not looking so good. I
Speaker 1: feel really bad for Cleveland. I kind of hope that
Speaker 1: j R. Smith shows up in this game and takes
Speaker 1: his shirt off. It's just so the Browns could win
Speaker 1: one this week. Now. They used up all their karma.
Speaker 1: It didn't work for the Indians. It didn't work for
Speaker 1: the brown If we do it with Washington, we can
Speaker 1: we call it the Cleveland baseball team. We can definitely
Speaker 1: do the Cleveland baseball team. You heard it here first,
Speaker 1: because they're even like more caricatures than even the Washington
Speaker 1: football team. Yeah, but I think the Washington football team
Speaker 1: like uses a slur, whereas the Cleveland baseball team uses
Speaker 1: kind of like more of an agreed upon term. Either way,
Speaker 1: they're both wrong and we're against them. You know, has
Speaker 1: Dallas supplanted Minnesota over the last couple of weeks, is
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFC? Um, you know, you
Speaker 1: would tend to look that way. Minnesota really struggling with
Speaker 1: their offensive line. It looked like having Jake Long off
Speaker 1: the street to play left tackle, making that Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: defense on Monday Night football look like the old Monsters
Speaker 1: of the Midway. So I think that's a problem that
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about on Fantasy Freestyle, we
Speaker 1: say that that's something that's not going to change all
Speaker 1: season long. I remember we talked about that with Andrew
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. We talked about that with Russell Wilson and Seattle,
Speaker 1: and it looks like Sam Bradford and the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: are in the same situation. So despite their championship caliber defense,
Speaker 1: I do think that that is a problem that Minnesota has.
Speaker 1: On the flip side, the Dallas Cowboys just keep on
Speaker 1: winning and they have what is what has to be
Speaker 1: the easiest nonconference road game you really can have to
Speaker 1: deal within week nine. So um, yeah, I think right now,
Speaker 1: if you have to make some kind of power rankings,
Speaker 1: it would be Dallas on top in the NFC. But
Speaker 1: there's other teams that are still serious contenders. When you
Speaker 1: look at teams like Green Bay, you look at teams
Speaker 1: like Seattle, you even look at teams still like filling
Speaker 1: in their own division. You have to still in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: still in there, um, you know. And then there's somebody
Speaker 1: in the South as well, whether that be Atlanta or
Speaker 1: a revival in Carolina. Yep. Yeah. And one of the
Speaker 1: things before we get into a little more about this
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Dallas game, is you mentioned Jake Long signed
Speaker 1: off the street. You always hear about NFL free agent
Speaker 1: being signed off the street. When is the league going
Speaker 1: to take seriously so many, so many of their former
Speaker 1: players immediately homeless. There's what are they doing? Pull ups
Speaker 1: on the stop sign, you know, don't walk sign that's
Speaker 1: got holding. You know, just it's terrible and honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: I just hope I never run into any of these
Speaker 1: former players on the street immediately after that they've retired
Speaker 1: or van caught. It's a terrible thing. Goodell, we're looking
Speaker 1: at you. You need to address this doesn't care about
Speaker 1: players safe If you want to crown them, take crowned
Speaker 1: or ass but they are who we thought they were
Speaker 1: wet about the They don't at all. You're gonna see,
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Ezekiel Elliott completely feast in this one.
Speaker 1: Um Cleveland cannot stop the run. They also cannot stop
Speaker 1: the past speeds. Ezekiel Elliott's averaging twenty carries a game.
Speaker 1: Dallas regress when they think of the best or second
Speaker 1: best or third best team in the NMC. They're looking
Speaker 1: poised to make a play off run this year. Do
Speaker 1: you think that Dallas at some point it's gonna is
Speaker 1: gonna pull the reins back on him, possibly handcuffing owners
Speaker 1: in the fantasy playoffs? And is this any sort of
Speaker 1: deal to where you look at like an innings limit
Speaker 1: for a picture. Do you take that into consideration at
Speaker 1: all with running Max like Zeke. No. In fact, if
Speaker 1: you remember in our preseason episode, I actually said that
Speaker 1: I thought Zeke would toe the rock this year three
Speaker 1: hundred times, and you were like, that's crazy, that would
Speaker 1: be silly, They would never use them up that way,
Speaker 1: and said, watch watch what happens. And it looks like
Speaker 1: so far that has been the k zeke Um last
Speaker 1: week twenty two carries. That is not you know, and
Speaker 1: that's not abnormal for him. And I think they are
Speaker 1: riding this new offense. That's the way they are doing it,
Speaker 1: trying to do it like it was two thousand and
Speaker 1: fourteen with DeMarco Murray. The one only player I want
Speaker 1: to talk about on the Cleveland side is a returning
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman. Okay, this is a guy who was compared
Speaker 1: to people like Percy Harvin. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: for the last time he was on football field, he
Speaker 1: scored two touches a ridiculous game. He went off in
Speaker 1: that game, and he broke his arm in practice. He
Speaker 1: broke his hand in practice that week, so nobody ever
Speaker 1: really knew about it. And he uh he is back
Speaker 1: after five or six weeks on the shelf, and I
Speaker 1: think it couldn't be a minute too soon. I actually
Speaker 1: think in this game, while I agree that Cowboys will
Speaker 1: win this game, I do not think they cover the
Speaker 1: road seven and a half points that they are a favorite.
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland is a scrappy team at home. I
Speaker 1: think nonconference road games are tough to win, and also
Speaker 1: a lot of the times when the Browns were looking
Speaker 1: at utterly pathetic this year. It was with guys like
Speaker 1: Charlie White Earths and Kevin Hogan as their quarterback. Josh
Speaker 1: McCown or Coy Kesslers are both upgrades, and I think, um,
Speaker 1: when you have Terrell prior and now returning Coleman may
Speaker 1: have the ability to have a close, closer game than
Speaker 1: most people yo and speeds. Coleman is only owned right
Speaker 1: now in of y'all who leaks, you might want to
Speaker 1: just go out and pick him up right now. This
Speaker 1: is a kid, as you said, who flashed before he
Speaker 1: got hurt. No one really, no one really had a
Speaker 1: chance to pick him up because he was hurt. You
Speaker 1: didn't know what the time frame was from coming back.
Speaker 1: Looking like he is back, and he'll be playing with
Speaker 1: either Kessler or mccount, who are better options than some
Speaker 1: of the other r G three is Hogan's of the world.
Speaker 1: One thing I'll have to say real quick, Dallas is
Speaker 1: tough on running back, so they've only allowed seventy five
Speaker 1: yards on the ground once this season to Darren Sprawls.
Speaker 1: Of all people I'm fading Isaaiah Cowell only a hundred
Speaker 1: forty yards in his last four games. I don't really
Speaker 1: love Johnson, but he can produce in that garbage time
Speaker 1: that may allow Cleveland to come back and cover the
Speaker 1: spread as a desperation flex player, even as an r
Speaker 1: B two. If you gotta do what you gotta do it.
Speaker 1: Moving on, let's go from their speeds to this Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles New York Giants divisional rivalry game. Yeah, for sure
Speaker 1: on the giant side of things, I actually think they're
Speaker 1: coming off to buy, which you really have to just
Speaker 1: focus on. Is um who in the running back mutation
Speaker 1: steps up? I think that's the thing I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: to be looking at. If you remember that last game
Speaker 1: and they had a London Rashan Jennings when he came back,
Speaker 1: he has still not been doing in his last game
Speaker 1: thirteen carries for twenty five yards. They've been slowly bringing
Speaker 1: in Paul Perkins. Remember this is a theme you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear me talking about all episodes here in the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Paul Perkins last
Speaker 1: week or the game before the bye, got four carries
Speaker 1: twelve yards. But also, um, that's more than you know.
Speaker 1: He's been getting the whole rest of the time. That's
Speaker 1: more than Bobby Rainey got to look like. That Bobby
Speaker 1: Rainey role that he had for two or three weeks
Speaker 1: is now gone and well as a team, they only
Speaker 1: had twenty carries for the thirties six yards. So I'm
Speaker 1: very interested to see what shakes out in the running
Speaker 1: back room when it comes to the Giants off the
Speaker 1: by I think they may integrate the rookie, and it
Speaker 1: will also be interested to see who gets more targets
Speaker 1: going forward between Cruise and Shepherd. So far, Chef has
Speaker 1: you like to call him, has forty eight targets. The
Speaker 1: victor Cruzes forty one. So I'm taking a wait and
Speaker 1: see approach of the Giants because I think the true
Speaker 1: story is about to emerge with them on offense. I really, actually,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like either of the giants secondary
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Chef the scene seven or eight targets in
Speaker 1: every game since week two. He hasn't actually cleared thirty
Speaker 1: two yards since Week three. Cruise, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: doesn't have a touchdown since Week one and doesn't have
Speaker 1: more than five catches in a game all season. You've seen,
Speaker 1: you know, You've seen the squeaky wheel, get the grease.
Speaker 1: You've seen the squeaky reel have an extended role brance
Speaker 1: with a kicking net, you know, and I think you
Speaker 1: know Odell Beckham, whether you like him where you hate him,
Speaker 1: is clearly the alpha dog in this offense. He says
Speaker 1: he's eighty five percent healthy. Odell Beckham eating, even at
Speaker 1: eighty five percent, should be able to eat against a
Speaker 1: tough Philadelphia defense. That's legit, good but true wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Once that's Antonio Brown, that's dead. So I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: into a little bit later. I've had good weeks against him,
Speaker 1: and he's basically been back to normal after the early
Speaker 1: season slump. He's seen at least eight targets in every game,
Speaker 1: and he's averaging ninety yards again. And you could trust
Speaker 1: him and fire him up as a high end wide
Speaker 1: receiver one in this one. All right, all right, you
Speaker 1: let's keep it moving, y'all. Let's go to this Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: Baltimore game, divisional matchup, a FC rivalry week rival rival.
Speaker 1: And obviously the big question here is if Big Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger comes back. You know, we were talking about it
Speaker 1: when he got hurt and I mentioned to you that
Speaker 1: he likes to come back early. He likes to play,
Speaker 1: and he only missed one game. It looks like after
Speaker 1: knee surgery, you know, which is crazy, but taking advantage
Speaker 1: after the bye. He's been practicing all week and is
Speaker 1: slated to go. Would you be concerned about him in
Speaker 1: his return or do you think him and Levian and
Speaker 1: a b you know, immediately reignite their chemistry, start moving
Speaker 1: the ball of good. I think, first of all, if
Speaker 1: if if t sizzle, Terrell Suggs says he knows Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is gonna play, that's good enough for Megers Big
Speaker 1: it is gonna go, and no, completely not. I think
Speaker 1: that that offense is humming when he is in there
Speaker 1: at the controls. They actually did all right with Landry Jones.
Speaker 1: But he's, to use a phrase from your spect, he's
Speaker 1: the straw that stirs the drink, and he raises everybody's
Speaker 1: floor and gives every skilled player in that offense a
Speaker 1: much much higher ceiling. What I want to say, is
Speaker 1: Levion Bell killing it. Levion Bell when he starts scoring touchdowns,
Speaker 1: watch out, watch out. If you're a team in your
Speaker 1: league that does not have Levion Bell, He's averaging about
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty total yards, accounting for thirty eight percent
Speaker 1: of the Steelers yards. Since he's been back by Man,
Speaker 1: he has at least five catches in all four of
Speaker 1: his starts. The Ravens are really really tough against the run.
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters at all. Levion Bell is
Speaker 1: a beast. I was really skeptical about spending a first
Speaker 1: round pick on him. I think you need to spend
Speaker 1: too much to also handcuff him with uh with Williams
Speaker 1: d'angela Williams. But he's so far proven owners who were
Speaker 1: willing to take that risk correct with a savvy strategy.
Speaker 1: One other thing I want to mention real quick on
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh side, the Darius Green is practicing might rom
Speaker 1: out of the cold, dark quiet room, even though it
Speaker 1: was never formally stated that that's where he was. They
Speaker 1: said it was an ankle. But he might be back
Speaker 1: in business. And you know, that would be a very
Speaker 1: interested target to add to the mix for Big Ben
Speaker 1: and that Pittsburgh office. Now, yeah, I mean, and just
Speaker 1: more so, you know, with with with all of the
Speaker 1: uncertainty surrounding it. We talked about it in the pre
Speaker 1: and you know the preseason. Is it an ankle, is
Speaker 1: it bad, repeated concussions. It's just nice to see him
Speaker 1: ramping up football activity, so I said, with a capital
Speaker 1: Darius Green, I hope you get back on the field
Speaker 1: and we'll see. I wouldn't pick him up before this game.
Speaker 1: He may still be a week away, but definitely a
Speaker 1: player that you want to watch later on or later
Speaker 1: on in the show. We're also going to get a
Speaker 1: little bit into that Baltimore Ravens backfield. We may make
Speaker 1: a gentleman's that, we may have a i'man that we
Speaker 1: may have a gazzy stay tuned for that. What's the
Speaker 1: next game you want to hit up in a spotlight?
Speaker 1: Week nine bocks Yo, Let's talk real quick a little
Speaker 1: bit about that Detroit Minnesota game. The big news here
Speaker 1: is that Norv Turner has stepped down. The team is
Speaker 1: doing well. The offense. You know, they got backups, they
Speaker 1: got new guys. As you're gonna mention, you know the
Speaker 1: line is or you mentioned previously, should say the line
Speaker 1: is complete trash signing homeless players off the street. It
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense used to him. That would cut
Speaker 1: him some slack um. Norv Turner though gone. I was
Speaker 1: always I was always bored by North Turner. My main
Speaker 1: memory of him will probably always be when he replaced
Speaker 1: the naughty, rotten rhymer Marty Schottenheimer on that on that
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers team Will Danny and Thomlinson that seemed
Speaker 1: poised to win some Super Bowls. Um, you know, so
Speaker 1: Pat Schumer takes over as the interim coordinator. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna the offense is gonna probably remain
Speaker 1: the same. He's been the tight ends coach. I don't
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna depart from being a run first offense.
Speaker 1: What I do want to say is on the other
Speaker 1: side of the ball, talking about coaches, you know, we
Speaker 1: got to talk about that Jim Bob cood speed. You've
Speaker 1: been high on Jim Bob Cooder all year Detroit though
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack and points scored per game,
Speaker 1: one in yards per game. You know, if you want
Speaker 1: to convince me that they're gonna make, they're gonna make.
Speaker 1: They're gonna able to move the ball against Minnesota, they
Speaker 1: gonna do some damage this week. We faded, or we
Speaker 1: fade in Detroit, were fading. Jim Bob Cooder. Um, Listen,
Speaker 1: these are two of the big philosophical things I've been
Speaker 1: talking about all season long, Um, And that is one
Speaker 1: Jim Bob Cooter in that offense. But on the other side,
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings defense and Xavier Roads right keeping him
Speaker 1: the bumpy road. So here's the thing, here's where these conflict.
Speaker 1: The beauty of the Jim Bob Cooder offenses that they
Speaker 1: have not been keying on one wide receiver ever since
Speaker 1: the retirement of Megatron right, and this happened last week. Listen,
Speaker 1: the targets were spread around last week Matthew Stafford when
Speaker 1: seven forty one, two forty yards won't touchdown, no interceptions,
Speaker 1: does seemed like a crazy game. But look, Abron tent targets,
Speaker 1: Feel Riddick eleven targets, Golden Tap nine targets, Marvin Jones
Speaker 1: seven targets. He will spread the ball around hoping to
Speaker 1: avoid Xavier bumpy Roads. And if you remember, because Rocks,
Speaker 1: I know you do, because you like Alshon Jeffrey so much.
Speaker 1: As soon as they took bumping off al Shan Jeffrey
Speaker 1: last week, you saw him change that production. So outside
Speaker 1: of bumpy roads, I do think Jim Bob Cooda will
Speaker 1: be able to scheme away and find a way to
Speaker 1: be productive because also I do not think that Minnesota
Speaker 1: can score. I think the offensive line is a big problem.
Speaker 1: Last person I mentioned in this game is Yo. It
Speaker 1: is good to see THEO Riddick back. He is an
Speaker 1: all purpose beast yet again, going for eleven carries fifty
Speaker 1: six yards, adding eight catches for seventy seven yards, and
Speaker 1: are receiving tug. You mentioned about Levian Bell out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, You'll feel Riddick might be the best back
Speaker 1: in the NFL out of the backfield. I like him.
Speaker 1: Starting with confidence. Yeah, Minnesota has been getting smoked by
Speaker 1: past catching backs all year. Pretty much They're gonna be
Speaker 1: without probably Eric Hendricks, who has a concussion. He's great
Speaker 1: against the past, not so much against to run this season.
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to say to kind
Speaker 1: of tie it all together, you mentioned the retirement of
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson Megatron. If Megatron were to be signed by
Speaker 1: a team, would Megatron we signed off the street or
Speaker 1: would he at least be able to be signed out
Speaker 1: of a mansion? No? No, no, he wouldn't be on
Speaker 1: caught on the street. You know he knows better than that.
Speaker 1: Check it out when we come back, or we're gonna
Speaker 1: do is. We're gonna go into our flagships segments. We're
Speaker 1: gonna give you a game flow geniuses, we're gonna give
Speaker 1: you our diamonds in the roup, and we're gonna give
Speaker 1: you our fantasy fool gazies. Forgot about it. You know
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. Keep it with us, keep
Speaker 1: Bob in your head. As soon as you come back,
Speaker 1: will be dropping more stats over beats. HiT's the fantasy
Speaker 1: freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You heard
Speaker 1: cannot play with him, cannot win with him, and not
Speaker 1: coach with him. You can't do it. That's a fogazy
Speaker 1: How do you know? To food gazing game? You look
Speaker 1: at the seconds, it's your favorite gay. I know what
Speaker 1: the FDA yo, welcome back. It's your boy Rocks hanging
Speaker 1: with my man Speeds, the spitting statistician bringing you that
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're about
Speaker 1: to go into a block we call our flagship segments.
Speaker 1: That means our game flow geniuses and our diamonds in
Speaker 1: the rough and our fantasy Gazies. Forget about speeds. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put the ball in your court. No NBA where
Speaker 1: you want to take this, Let's start with our game
Speaker 1: to genius. Let's start the game to little genius is
Speaker 1: um like we do a lot of times, and you
Speaker 1: can check this out. I like this Green Bay Indianapolis game.
Speaker 1: I like that game. I like the game, and you
Speaker 1: know my game flow genius. I like that first game.
Speaker 1: Highest total on the board, okay, is the Indianapolis Poles
Speaker 1: and the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay Packers for a
Speaker 1: few weeks in a row have had the top three
Speaker 1: run defense, you know, and a lot of teams are
Speaker 1: not trying to run on them. The funny part is
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck meeting the Appolis coach. They're not trying to
Speaker 1: run anyway. Now, the way to attack the Pols, I mean,
Speaker 1: excuse me. The way to attack the Packers is through
Speaker 1: the air. And now with Ty Hilton and donte moncreas
Speaker 1: and Philip or said, and Jack Doyle, not Jack Bauer,
Speaker 1: but Jack Doyle. Um, I think Andrew Luck. It's one
Speaker 1: of those games where you're gonna want to get the
Speaker 1: aggregate and because you're not gonna know who it is
Speaker 1: that's gonna pop up. You want to get the aggregate.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be the game in
Speaker 1: the high pointies in the low thirties, with both of
Speaker 1: them going back and forth able to move the ball
Speaker 1: and score. For that, give me Andrew Luck as my
Speaker 1: game flow genius. I want winners. I want people that
Speaker 1: want to win. As of right now, it's something like
Speaker 1: Shark Hendrick West formerly formerly the Shark Nado as we
Speaker 1: called him, will be will be taken over for Spencer
Speaker 1: were in the Chiefs backfield. Also, Nick Spoles is gonna
Speaker 1: be playing quarterback for the Chiefs in this one, and
Speaker 1: basically I feel like Nick Foles is going to be
Speaker 1: asked to play the Alex Smith role, which is where
Speaker 1: his primary goal is going to be to not lose
Speaker 1: the game for them. That's gonna mean turning the ball,
Speaker 1: turning around and handing the ball to Shark Candrick West,
Speaker 1: even with Foles behind center. Uh, the Chiefs are heavily
Speaker 1: favorite in s getting the line actually only moved one point,
Speaker 1: which I feel is like a real gist to Alex Smith.
Speaker 1: I feel you, Alex Smith, You not as bad as
Speaker 1: they say. Um, But Jackson gos just not a very
Speaker 1: good team. They're not scoring points, they're not playing defense,
Speaker 1: and I think that the Chiefs should not have much
Speaker 1: trouble shutting down that offense is totally out of Saint
Speaker 1: Blake portals at the helm, going back to the the portals
Speaker 1: service from years past, not really doing anything bringing down
Speaker 1: the value of his wide receivers. I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to see a ton of running attempts hurt.
Speaker 1: Kendrick West may push twenty five touches in this game.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of them will be in the
Speaker 1: second half with the Chiefs of winning. The main thing
Speaker 1: to look at here is likely with nowhere, with Jamal
Speaker 1: Charles going back under the knife, who is me? I
Speaker 1: don't even know. Did they bring back Christian Nikoya to
Speaker 1: be the backup running back? You know very word? Maybe?
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea who the Chiefs even have
Speaker 1: behind them. They're a team that needs to win all
Speaker 1: of their games. They're not gonna be playing any games here.
Speaker 1: Look for shark Kendrick West to handle a ton of
Speaker 1: touches in the game. The Chiefs will win handily, and
Speaker 1: he's my game blow and genius speed. You said you
Speaker 1: got another one who let me ask you real quick
Speaker 1: about that game. The Chiefs are eight and a half
Speaker 1: point favorites in that game. They are at home, right,
Speaker 1: but they are playing their backup quarterback and their backup
Speaker 1: running back. You could even argue their third string running back. Sure,
Speaker 1: sure against a Jaguars team that fired its offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: gave up. It looked like in their last game. And
Speaker 1: you know it's straight trash, homie. So do you think
Speaker 1: they can cover an eight and a half point spread? Um?
Speaker 1: I'm not a gambling man until I make bets, but
Speaker 1: I like Kansas City to have a two score lead
Speaker 1: for a lot of this game. One thing Blake Borts
Speaker 1: has proven in his career is he's Mr. Garbage Time.
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if you saw the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Jaguars amount some sort of furious two score comeback in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to screw up that bet for people
Speaker 1: who are looking for the Chiefs. You know, I could
Speaker 1: certainly see it. I don't you know. It's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of those situations where you'll drive yourself crazy
Speaker 1: because it's what Portals is basically shown he can do
Speaker 1: in his career. You look at the splits. He's throwing
Speaker 1: more touchdowns in the fourth quarter than any other quarter,
Speaker 1: and probably a very very wide margin. It's true and
Speaker 1: in fantasy, whether it be Fantasy Freestyle, the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network, or fantasy sports in general, that garbage time matters,
Speaker 1: and Blake Bortles is at it again. You know my
Speaker 1: second game flow genius. Listen, the team that I think
Speaker 1: has dominated game flow the most, and this is gonna
Speaker 1: surprise you in the entire NFL, is the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this exotic smash mouth all season long.
Speaker 1: It has really been a thing. And I'm telling you
Speaker 1: I actually you heard it here first, or maybe you
Speaker 1: heard it on Shot Callers where I called my shot.
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans, I think are gonna win the a
Speaker 1: f C South. And this is a great test of
Speaker 1: the theory that style makes fight, that they can do
Speaker 1: this against anybody. They are playing the San Diego Chargers
Speaker 1: in San Diego. One thing we know about San Diego
Speaker 1: they throw the ball. New Phillip Rivers is going to
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Another thing we know about the San
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers their games are close, right, They've always been closed.
Speaker 1: They lose a lot of games closed. They've now finally
Speaker 1: got a big win against Atlanta. Advertise asers love the
Speaker 1: San Diego Charger, So it's true. It's true. It's true.
Speaker 1: Those eyes glued to the screen. Yeah, exactly. They should
Speaker 1: just be flexed into Sunday night football every week. At
Speaker 1: least you'll get a good game. But here's what I
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen. I actually think two things about
Speaker 1: this game. One is my game flow genius. I think
Speaker 1: the Titan Style are gonna win that fight. I think
Speaker 1: this game is going to be a low scoring game,
Speaker 1: not what people expect out of Philip Rivers. And for that,
Speaker 1: my game flow genius this week is Derek Henry. Okay,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is my game flow genius. They've said that
Speaker 1: he's earned more carries. Even at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: we were saying, as the year goes along, we are
Speaker 1: now into November, they are going to try to run
Speaker 1: the ball and do it big and the time. The
Speaker 1: reason is because they're gonna utilize both of these running backs.
Speaker 1: And for me, that means the value is Derek Henry's
Speaker 1: coming off a good game, six team carry, sixty yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. I think his role role in a
Speaker 1: game that Tennessee wants to keep close against San Diego
Speaker 1: and low scoring. I also think that will keep it
Speaker 1: within the five and a half points this game opened
Speaker 1: that as a line. I liked Tennessee this week, and
Speaker 1: my gameflow genius is Derek Henry as his role starts
Speaker 1: to grow in that office, I like that Speeds and
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. It's looking like Murray is
Speaker 1: going to play. However, they've been talking all season about
Speaker 1: Henry needing to earn more carries, and they finally said,
Speaker 1: they finally said this week that he has earned more carries.
Speaker 1: Moving from our geniuses two our diamonds because smart people
Speaker 1: deserve nice things. My first diamond in the rough this week,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna double up on Davante Booker. I was on
Speaker 1: him last week as speed. We both liked him. Last week.
Speaker 1: He had an uneven game in a real life perspective,
Speaker 1: he left a lot of yards on the field, could
Speaker 1: have scored another touchdown and put the ball on the ground.
Speaker 1: But from fantasy, he paid his bills with a touchdown
Speaker 1: and a couple of receptions. As such, his price has
Speaker 1: moved up in the fan duel. Our official pricing and rating.
Speaker 1: You know exactly, you know, they're basically our SMPR Moody's
Speaker 1: when it comes to prices. Um, he's seven thousand this year.
Speaker 1: But listen, what I really really like is that he
Speaker 1: is going to be playing a really, really bad Oakland
Speaker 1: Raiders defense this week. And you know, as you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear me go into I really think that you are
Speaker 1: going to see the quarterback struggle, Trevor Simeon struggle in
Speaker 1: what's a good matchup. I think their best chance of
Speaker 1: moving the ball is going to be on the ground
Speaker 1: with Davante Booker. They clearly want him on the field.
Speaker 1: Even though he was banged up last week with a
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, they kept him in the game. They kept
Speaker 1: giving him touches. What we like to see for our
Speaker 1: running backs, his opportunity. He's clearly the guy right now.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get more than eighteen points on
Speaker 1: the fan duel this week. I think you're gonna see
Speaker 1: a couple of explosive runs falling forward. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: in the end zone to go with just enough receiving
Speaker 1: work to compliment that and help him be my diamond
Speaker 1: in the rough. DeVante book or seven thousand on fan Duel.
Speaker 1: Get it shine bright like a diamond rock you brought up.
Speaker 1: There's so many things I want to respond to. First
Speaker 1: of all, it's interesting that you're attacking that Oakland Raiders defense.
Speaker 1: In the last two weeks in a row, I have
Speaker 1: stacked dfs against the Oakland Raiders past defense that was
Speaker 1: thirty second in the league last week. That meant Jameis
Speaker 1: Winston and Mike Evans the week before that, and then
Speaker 1: the Lake Bortles and Alan Robinson, and interestingly enough, neither
Speaker 1: one of them actually popped up for me, and somehow
Speaker 1: Oakland is still the thirties second ranked past defense and
Speaker 1: overall defense. The other thing that you brought up to
Speaker 1: me is you mentioned that last week you and me
Speaker 1: both agreed on Devontae Booker. Last week we did not
Speaker 1: agree on al Sean Jeffrey, and that was our gentleman's bet.
Speaker 1: And for the second week in a row, that's another one.
Speaker 1: In the speeds the spin Statistician column by a mere
Speaker 1: like ten yards. I think we had over under seventy
Speaker 1: five yards and he fixed for the sixties something. He
Speaker 1: finished with sixty four yards. He did get a touchdown,
Speaker 1: but that was not part of our bet. Shame on me.
Speaker 1: Let's make it points bas moving forward, I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: Speeds get to his diamonds. In a second, I will
Speaker 1: say I still think al Shan is a decent filo
Speaker 1: right now, positive touchdown progression is coming his way. You
Speaker 1: saw it start last week. But Speeds, who are the diamonds? Who? Who? Gonnapeople?
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna hold the lights week It's it's gonna
Speaker 1: twinkle and glisten, shine bright. I actually think you're gonna
Speaker 1: like this one, Ros because I know you're a Saints fan.
Speaker 1: So my first diamond in the rup for week nine
Speaker 1: is Tim high Tower. Okay, last week and you, as
Speaker 1: a Saints fan know this very well. Um mark Ingram
Speaker 1: fumbled and we did not see the field again for
Speaker 1: the most part. He also, I've been talking about for
Speaker 1: weeks that he's been alding along with things like fifteen
Speaker 1: carries and fifty yards and and not really finding the
Speaker 1: end zone. They also have said that Tim Eishower now
Speaker 1: has earned more carries. And here's the catch. This is
Speaker 1: why the diamond you look you look at their playing
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. You know you mentioned attacking
Speaker 1: that Oakland Raiders defense. Um, the San Francisco forty Niners
Speaker 1: rush defense is like nothing we've ever seen. Um. The
Speaker 1: San Francisco run defense gives uh a hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: five yards a game on the ground. That is thirty
Speaker 1: second in the league. Way, are you sure that's not
Speaker 1: a type? The thirty first ranked run defense is the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown hundred forty four yards of invasion hundred and
Speaker 1: forty four yards forty yards less. That's a gap of
Speaker 1: a kid. That's not that's not, that's not. There's the deal.
Speaker 1: The Saints are switching running backs and allowing this guy
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go again. It's a historically bad run
Speaker 1: defense opportunity knocking Tim high Tower shine bright like a diamond.
Speaker 1: He's my diamond for Week nine. You know, Speeds. I
Speaker 1: think he's a great play this week if you if
Speaker 1: you're lucky enough to scoop him on the way wire
Speaker 1: or you had him. What I will say, though, do
Speaker 1: you think he's going to out touch mark Ingram or
Speaker 1: you think that he's a viable play regardless. I think
Speaker 1: he's a viable play regardless. And here's why you know
Speaker 1: it's interesting the flip side. One of the things this
Speaker 1: could be is also just the way to try to
Speaker 1: motivate mark Ingram, you know, like talk him up sufficiently,
Speaker 1: embarrass him by benching him, then know that he's about
Speaker 1: to play against the words defense, and then ride mark Ingle.
Speaker 1: His confidences is back, and then it looks great. But no,
Speaker 1: I think this is Tim high Tower. I liked him
Speaker 1: High Tower to be. Can the Saint start the Saintstar
Speaker 1: favorite on the road in this one? But I believe
Speaker 1: that's half point four and a half point so there
Speaker 1: should be carries for both of them. And you saw
Speaker 1: high Tower being trusted to sault away a much tougher
Speaker 1: game against the Seattle defense. That is, I'm not giving
Speaker 1: up hundred eighty plus yards. About my second diamond in
Speaker 1: the rough is is Desi dez ches Bryant. I was
Speaker 1: listening to Speed's I was listening to you the other
Speaker 1: day talking about him on on Shot Callers on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I thought you were actually finally
Speaker 1: gonna say some nice things about the man that you're
Speaker 1: setting down on. You give a little credit, you give
Speaker 1: a little credit, but then you you bashed him and
Speaker 1: called him Medieva and did all this other did all
Speaker 1: this other stuff, throwing salt on the man's name. He's
Speaker 1: actually at seventy eight hundred dollars. He's the sixth most
Speaker 1: expensive wide receiver on fan duel. But I love him
Speaker 1: in a matchup against a terrible, terrible Cleveland Browns past defense.
Speaker 1: It's not just their running defense that's bad, folks. Their
Speaker 1: past defense is blunt, guts trash. Also, they've given up
Speaker 1: nineteen touchdowns through the air. Dez is probably the top
Speaker 1: touchdown threat in the red zone of any wide receiver,
Speaker 1: probably anyone not named Rob Gronkowski, him of the career
Speaker 1: owner of six touchdown Dak actually finally showed some trust
Speaker 1: in him last week. He had a great touchdown catch
Speaker 1: from about twenty five yards out, not even in the
Speaker 1: red zone, essentially throwing up a jump ball and trusting
Speaker 1: that Dez was going to come down with it. He's
Speaker 1: never lacked for the my ball mentality, and it's good
Speaker 1: to see that the rookie is showing some of the
Speaker 1: same trust that Tony Romo has had in him. I
Speaker 1: think Dallas is going to live in the red zone
Speaker 1: in this one. I think this is an extremely solid
Speaker 1: bet for a touchdown. He might not see double digit
Speaker 1: targets again, and that's been a concern all season, but
Speaker 1: he will make every target he gets in this one count.
Speaker 1: I like him to post more than seventeen points on
Speaker 1: fan duel with the opportunity for a lot more, and
Speaker 1: to me, that makes him a diamond this week. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: my next diamond and the rough This is someone you
Speaker 1: need to look at because I've been telling you about
Speaker 1: stashing him all season long, and I think this is
Speaker 1: the game we finally see a breakout out of Kenneth Dixon.
Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon. Yes, yes, yes, I like Kenneth Dixon in
Speaker 1: this divisional match up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why. Okay, we all expect apparently Big
Speaker 1: Ben to come back, and that means the Triplets will
Speaker 1: be reuniting. They will find a way to score against
Speaker 1: any defense, including the Baltimore Ravens. You've said it um yourself.
Speaker 1: The way to beat the Ravens is not with the
Speaker 1: run between the tackles, but with the past right way
Speaker 1: to beat the Steelers. The way to beat the Steelers
Speaker 1: is not with the run between the tackles, but in
Speaker 1: you know, over the top or with the pass right
Speaker 1: and so I think that Terrence West is actually kind
Speaker 1: of on his way down. His last game was against
Speaker 1: the Jets. Granted the Jets, um are you know, the
Speaker 1: best run defense in the NFL, but coming off to
Speaker 1: buy this is where, you know, teams start to integrate
Speaker 1: something new. This is where a young guy starts to
Speaker 1: get his footing. Traditionally, especially running backs start to do
Speaker 1: better at the tail end of the season. That's especially
Speaker 1: why I'm giving you as a diamond, I'm giving you
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. It's also why here I'm giving you Kenneth Dixon.
Speaker 1: And I think, especially in what is a fierce divisional
Speaker 1: matchup and divisional rivalry, they are going to introduce new
Speaker 1: players who the Steelers have yet to see, and that
Speaker 1: includes Kenneth Dixon. I think Kenneth Dixon is gonna be
Speaker 1: um kind of a new toy and a new weapon
Speaker 1: for Joe Flacco on the multiple Ravens moving forward, starting
Speaker 1: this week, We've been talking about him for weeks. This
Speaker 1: is the week he comes out of the bubble wrap.
Speaker 1: He's my diamond in the rough for Week nine. Speeds
Speaker 1: I think you just we talked about me losing a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, Terrence West on a gentleman's pet
Speaker 1: for me. It would be kind of it would be
Speaker 1: kind of sweet to flip the script on this when
Speaker 1: a gentleman want to be back to Terence, I want
Speaker 1: to I want to talk to you about Kenneth Dixon.
Speaker 1: We saw, we saw the Steelers, who, as we both noted,
Speaker 1: are are definitely a team that's been attacked through the air.
Speaker 1: They got gashed by Legarrett Blunt in the lad game
Speaker 1: that they played. Terrence West is kind of a Legarrett Blunt,
Speaker 1: like a younger, slightly more handsome Lagarrett Blunt. At least
Speaker 1: that's what so past them Blunt. That's what he tells
Speaker 1: himself when he looks in the mirror. I can only
Speaker 1: we're talking about Ken Dixon. We're talking about talking about
Speaker 1: we're talking about We're talking about what Kenneth Dixon. Dixon.
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you think Dixon is gonna
Speaker 1: pop for this week? Give me some numbers, Give me
Speaker 1: some numbers. I think that I think kind of Dixon
Speaker 1: will scored ten points in PPR Fantasy. Do you think
Speaker 1: he'll scored ten points. He's ill score Terrence West. I
Speaker 1: think he'll score ten points in PPR Fantasy. Ten points
Speaker 1: in PPR in PPR Fantasy. Uh, I'll take that all right.
Speaker 1: He wants to go back to the Baltimore Ravens running
Speaker 1: back position for his gentleman's bed. And he's got a
Speaker 1: deal me and Rocks, Speeds and Rocks Week nine. That's
Speaker 1: a gentleman's better. Hey, gentleman's bet over here, Hey, Rocks
Speaker 1: the gentleman. Now that we've talked about our diamonds, you
Speaker 1: know what the inverses, we gotta let them know. Who
Speaker 1: are fantasy food zies. Forget about it, A Rocks. Who
Speaker 1: was your first fool gaze? You know this actually maybe
Speaker 1: the first time that I've ever had ad to fool
Speaker 1: gazes at the same position in the same game. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's giving you clues, he's giving you hitts. I'm giving
Speaker 1: the news. I bet it's one of the lowest over
Speaker 1: undertotals on the board. You're probably right about that. My
Speaker 1: food gaze, my first food gaze for this week is
Speaker 1: Derek Carr seventies hundred on fan Duell, sixth and Fantasy
Speaker 1: points per game, Sporting a ridiculous seventeen to three touchdown
Speaker 1: to interception rate. He's supporting two wide receivers. He's coming
Speaker 1: off a game where he broke the Raiders passing record
Speaker 1: going for plus five hundred yards and four touchdowns. So
Speaker 1: why is he a food gaze? Denver defense and those
Speaker 1: cornerbacks on either side that are gonna lock down Michael
Speaker 1: Gradtree and Amari Cooper, you've got that speeds. Also, I
Speaker 1: honestly think the way the Raiders have been playing there
Speaker 1: at home this week, maybe that's gonna be harder for them.
Speaker 1: They've had such five they've had such such such mojo
Speaker 1: on the rowing. Who people about the back winds in
Speaker 1: the Eastern time zone exactly, you know. But there's something
Speaker 1: to be said for Denver allowing only four yards for
Speaker 1: a game in the air. That's the best in the league.
Speaker 1: Car completely struggled for yards the only two times he's
Speaker 1: had top ten matchups against the teams with pass saying
Speaker 1: defenses like that in Baltimore and Jacksonville, struggled to reach
Speaker 1: just two hundred yards in each game. Though the caveat
Speaker 1: as he did throw four tds against Baltimore, Denver is
Speaker 1: not long to allow him to throw four tds. Chris
Speaker 1: Harris and Bradley Roby are gonna lock it down. It's
Speaker 1: looking extremely unlikely that twal lead plays. I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. Otherwise, last year when these two teams
Speaker 1: matched up, car was outside the top twenty quarterbacks. In
Speaker 1: both matchups, Crabtree and Cooper could not get anything going
Speaker 1: on the outside, and for me, that means you've got
Speaker 1: to forget about him. This week he's gonna finish outside
Speaker 1: of the top ten quarterbacks and is not nearly worth
Speaker 1: the seventies seven hundred dollars their chart jing off FanDuel,
Speaker 1: how do you know to food gazing? We looked at
Speaker 1: it for seconds. Fake, Hey, I know what figut about it?
Speaker 1: Get about it? My gaze for week nine that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give out is listen. You know he put it
Speaker 1: in my eye a couple of weeks ago, because three
Speaker 1: weeks ago this cat ran for over two hundred yards.
Speaker 1: Both Rocks and Speed then said the next week on
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle, the one thing we know won't happen that
Speaker 1: you a run for over two hundred yards. And what
Speaker 1: do you know? He ran for over two hundred yards
Speaker 1: and he is now coming off of by I'm talking
Speaker 1: about Jay, you're talking about who j Simpson. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: He's now going up against this New York Jets run defense.
Speaker 1: That New York Jets run defense that is number one
Speaker 1: in the league. And that's not like when the Packers
Speaker 1: were number one in the league. This is a front
Speaker 1: seven that is piste off because they was shopping Sheldon
Speaker 1: Richardson this week and now so he's gonna be active.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be trying to stop the run. They give
Speaker 1: up only seventy five yards a game against the run.
Speaker 1: And here's the deal, it's my same it's my same philosophy.
Speaker 1: Later in the season, after the bye, this is when
Speaker 1: different things are introduced in the running game. I know
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze said he wanted to focus on one guy
Speaker 1: and lock in, but I wouldn't be I would not
Speaker 1: be surprised that after j E cannot get it done
Speaker 1: inside against the Jets. I would not be surprised to
Speaker 1: see a little bit Kenyan Drake, to see a little
Speaker 1: bit of William and William. Absolutely, they may be able to,
Speaker 1: and they've had a week to plan for this. Their
Speaker 1: plan is not going to be to uh run j
Speaker 1: h I E up the middle against the New York Jets,
Speaker 1: and that's all he's really good for doing. I think
Speaker 1: j J I E Week nine full gaze yo. I
Speaker 1: will say that the Jets front seven is so stout
Speaker 1: that you can almost taste the roasted barley. And I
Speaker 1: will also say that I really really like Williams on Miami.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he still has a leisure. He
Speaker 1: had an awesome flattopic shout to him. My next fugaz
Speaker 1: is Trevor Simeon second quarter quarterback, and we've got really
Speaker 1: really intelligent listeners to say nothing about how good looking
Speaker 1: they are and well liked they are by their friends
Speaker 1: and family. Um, so they probably were able to figure
Speaker 1: that out with the context clues. But Trevor Simeon seventy
Speaker 1: two hundred on FanDuel, that's what you're charging. I get
Speaker 1: it that the matchup looks great on paper playing that
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders past, but obviously I got messed up within
Speaker 1: two times in a row. Yeah, I mean, and there's
Speaker 1: reason why you would attack them. They're giving up eight
Speaker 1: point four yards an attempt, fifth most yards a game.
Speaker 1: Simeon was not able to take advantage of a San
Speaker 1: Diego secondary that, if not for having played him twice,
Speaker 1: would probably be pushing Oakland from being pass defense in
Speaker 1: the league. I've heard people talk about him not just
Speaker 1: on the DFS radar radar, but has a potential legitimate
Speaker 1: QB one streaming option this week to stop it slide,
Speaker 1: and I completely disagree with that. He has been showing
Speaker 1: why he is a seventh round pick. He's from the
Speaker 1: Alex Smith school of being way too afraid to push
Speaker 1: the ball downfield and take a chance, which is fine
Speaker 1: if you're Alex Smith who doesn't turn the ball over,
Speaker 1: except Simeon has been turning the ball over. He's got
Speaker 1: only eight touchdown passes along with six turnovers. You can't
Speaker 1: do that if you're not scaring anyone. He's actually only
Speaker 1: completed to one to only two one two passes throwing
Speaker 1: more than twenty yards in the air. Derek Carr, who's
Speaker 1: not even a mad bomber and the Ken's Stabler Mold,
Speaker 1: already has eleven such completions. That's just simply not getting
Speaker 1: it done. He only has one game this season with
Speaker 1: multiple touchdown passes. He do four against Cincinnati. Calling it
Speaker 1: right now, that's gonna be his career game. Kubiak's expressing
Speaker 1: frustration as a fan who's had to watch some Denver
Speaker 1: Broncos games. I'm expressing frustration. I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 1: get benched in game, but I think Trevor Simeon is
Speaker 1: more likely to lose his job after this week than
Speaker 1: to finish in the top twelve quarterbacks. Fool Gayzy, forget
Speaker 1: about him, forget about him. You know that take brought
Speaker 1: to you by Ross who truth be Told has Paxton
Speaker 1: lynch a stashed on his roster, so maybe a vested
Speaker 1: interest in that, But he was right about the same
Speaker 1: kind of call when he made it about Bryan Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1: My second fo Gazzy of the week is uh Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1: Um Tyrod Yeah yeah, because listen, he he mobile, because
Speaker 1: you'd remember how you didn't like Derek Carr even going
Speaker 1: up against that Denver defense. Number for your gay there
Speaker 1: was five minutes. He's not that bad. Alright, alright, alright, fine,
Speaker 1: let's check this out. And he has better weapons than
Speaker 1: talk about Taylor ever. Will wait til he's going up
Speaker 1: against the Seattle defense on Monday night football in Seattle.
Speaker 1: That twelve men is going to be ready and check
Speaker 1: it out. I used to think that Tyro Taylor would
Speaker 1: get a lot of scramble yards and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's done that from time to time.
Speaker 1: Last week five carries forty eight yards and a touchdown rushing.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that happens against the Seattle defense.
Speaker 1: And here's the other factor. Percy Harden coming out of
Speaker 1: retirement apparently to play for the Bills, interestingly enough against Seattle,
Speaker 1: a team that he hates, interestingly enough for a coach
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan that somehow is still in love with that
Speaker 1: man always wants Percy Harbin. They're going to find the
Speaker 1: way to get Percy Harven the ball on some gadget
Speaker 1: plays and stuff like that, limiting the potential of T
Speaker 1: Mobile to do some of that stuff. So I tamper
Speaker 1: even that gadget play in the rushing production production. And
Speaker 1: I think this game is going to be a blowout
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. Pick the Seahawks this week, and
Speaker 1: your survi iper pools T Mobile Tyrod Taylor, who gigs
Speaker 1: forgot about man. There are convicted felons in Buffalo who
Speaker 1: have more weapons than Tyrod Taylor does. There are people
Speaker 1: who throw sex toys who have more weapons than Tyron
Speaker 1: and Taylor does. You could have had at least a
Speaker 1: strength coach catch that. Maybe. I know, really, man, you
Speaker 1: know this footage of the reth picking it up and
Speaker 1: going uh off the field with it? Did he did
Speaker 1: the rep have gloves on? He went to the same
Speaker 1: room where they deflated the balls. Man, the dark room.
Speaker 1: That's where they take people with concussions to just a
Speaker 1: bunch of deflated balls, a couple of would you call
Speaker 1: them dil does? Yeah, yeah, something like that, but you know,
Speaker 1: check it out. Those were all the things you needed
Speaker 1: to know for week nine. Next week, Rocks and I'll
Speaker 1: be back. We'll check in on those gentlemen's bets. Will
Speaker 1: give you the flagship for next week, will give you
Speaker 1: our spotlight games. That's how we do. We hope you
Speaker 1: like us dropping stats over beat. You keep your head
Speaker 1: bobbing because your neck know the entire time. That's Rocks
Speaker 1: PM Speeds Fantasy Freestyle, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We are
Speaker 1: fots unfote. How about that? How abut that
