I'm here with 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.640 my boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. You know that's a mouthful. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.960 We're gonna give you, guys all you need to get 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.160 ready for week nine. We've been doing this football thing 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.480 for a minute, but we also back when baseball was 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.600 still popping in those regular season leagues. We were doing 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.640 that fantasy bo Jacks and that fantasy Dion Sanders and 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.640 doing both. And let's just let's just come back to 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.880 baseball for a second. Man, this was this was a 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.040 glorious time for baseball. Yo Ross and Speeds. We gotta 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.160 talk about this. What was historic Game seven. I'm you know, 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.640 on so many levels if you listen to the shot 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.280 call and SPEEDI spinting statistician has been talking about how 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.080 Tito Francona has been managing the bullpen and Joe Madden 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.720 made a couple of crazy bullpen moves bringing in Lester 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.080 Using Chapman in Game six. That was insane. I mean, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.240 you could argue that that could have cost him the 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.480 entire series. So it definitely could have because you know 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.920 he didn't have it in Game seven. But then check 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.480 this out. There was also a rain delay in extra 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.120 innings of Game seven of the World Series. You know 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.400 what it reminded me of. There was so many instances 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.120 with the baseball gods were at play here. I've been 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.639 staying on shot call. Is that our oldest Chapman with 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.560 his history, with his past, and that DV nonsense. He 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.880 daved the baseball gods were gonna not let him be 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.040 the guy on the mound when the Cubs broke the series, 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.160 so he gave it up. I also thought it was 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.320 very interesting check this out, David Ross. You know, in 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.359 his last ever Man David Man hits a home run 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.240 to actually redeem himself because when he came in the 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.080 game right away with Lester, he had a pass ball, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.560 he had a bad throw, but he redeems himself with 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.960 a home run. I also thought in a similar situation 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.200 Rajai Davis in that inning that the Cubs uh scored 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.440 early on, he on a sack fly, had a high 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.239 frow and in that and he took a bad route 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.720 to a ball that he could have made a play 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.359 on in right center field that allowed an extra run 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.519 to score. He then redeems himself against the world this 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.280 chat men in the eighth inning, and that was and 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.639 that was you know, if not if that game had 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.079 come out a little bit differently, that would be the 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.040 hit everyone was talking about. The extra And then check 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:12.840 it out. Then on top of it, as we go 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.440 to extra innings, the skies open up and we have 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.880 a rain delay. It reminded me Rocks remember that this 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.440 year when h A. Rod had that ceremony. You know, 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.200 it's like when it was exactly what I was like, Oh, 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.560 what's going on now? And actually, I don't know if 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.120 you saw this, but on the field when everybody was 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.280 celebrating and whatnot, after the Cubs actually won, they all 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.800 to men credited the rain delay and then credited Jason 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.760 Hayward for being the team leader who brought the group 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.640 together and inspired them to get that levy on that focus. Yeah, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.880 to get that focus focus focus. So very interesting and 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.600 you know because um, Hayward wasn't really doing much with 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.800 the bat all season and now he's been a huge 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:57.000 disappointment before we move on to to football. Uh, this 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.280 basically solidified Steo Epstein Hall of Fame. I would say so. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.920 I mean he and even even though he dropped the 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.360 F bomb on live TV, I mean, we won't be 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.040 dropping any F bombs today. Don't Sports radio network, No, 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.160 I do words, you can't stay on radio that don't button. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.080 I do think that. Yeah, Fiel's gotta be Hall of fame. 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:22.279 He's um, you know, broken two curses now, which is 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.640 absolutely ridiculous to two franchises in the major leagues that 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.000 was starved for a championship the most ad theo Epstein. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.480 A few years later you get a World Series championship. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.919 So absolutely. But here's the thing. I do want to 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.599 bring this up as we maybe transition to football a 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.200 little bit Rocks. We don't want no f bombs here. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.279 We also I don't know if you saw online TV 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.000 last week in that Buffalo game where there was a 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.200 giant um sex toy. Yeah, I guess I was gonna 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.120 call it a dildo, But there was that on the 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.760 field and there's like a fan threw it on the 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.880 What was it? Was it? Uh by a Buffalo fan 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.160 because they're not they're known to be ready. Was that 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.719 a comment, I don't know what it was. A comment 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.480 on the defense taking a step, I don't know what 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.200 it was, a comment on there was a comment on 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:13.200 holding or illegal hands or you know, a false start. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.000 I don't know what that was used. But it was 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.480 a penalty on so many levels. You check it out. 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.400 You got to clean it up. Man, there's kids watching. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.240 I know when when I grew up. I don't want 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.599 Hillary Clinton running an ad against me and fancy freestyle. 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.040 Oh man, no, No, we don't want that. Get out 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.000 and vote to people. Yeah, regardless of which candidate you support, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.480 Hillary Clinton, you should definitely vote Clinton. It's really really important. 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.800 It's a right that we have as Americans. Voter Hillary 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.159 Clinton or least don't go over count and uh and yeah, 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.480 that's that's that's that's our official take on the fancy 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.200 freestyles that you should vote. Um, you know, moving on. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.640 You know, I wasn't really sure how many people around 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.440 the country know that that a sex toy at dil 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.240 Do as you called it. I'm just not a term 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:58.200 I'm familiar with. What is is that? Google it? Google 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.320 it was thrown on the field in Buffalo. Did you 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.040 know that the MLS playoffs are currently happening, And for 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.080 our listeners out there, MLS sans or Major League Soccer, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.279 it's kind of a place. It's like the football. It's 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.320 like the football. Is that the Europans? Uh? Oh no, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.320 I don't know if there was anything being thrown on 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.839 the field, but there will be a New York City 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.719 playoff game at Yankee Stadium this Sunday, So I'm excited 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.960 about that. But does it make sense for for MLS? 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.360 We're just trying desperately to grow their grow their product. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.320 In the u S, I going up against the NFL 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.080 on Sundays and the World Series at the same time. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.680 Even in for scheduling and even within soccer, they have 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.719 that weird different designated player time when they're on loan, 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.679 they're off, their schedule is different from the rest of Europe. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.960 I don't know. MLS. I don't know if they've gotten 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.760 it right, but it's hard when your season runs or 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.479 something like forty weeks of the calendar year. But you know, 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.800 forty weeks of the NFL of the MLS year. Wouldn't 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.520 it be great if there were forty weeks of fantasy football? 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.320 I don't know, but you'd see careers get a lot 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.960 shorter because okay, the NFL does not care about players safety, 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.799 as we know. But we are in that the middle 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.800 of the fantasy football season, right, So this is really 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.760 that time where teams are starting to make moves, you 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.320 identify if you are a contender or a pretender. The 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.640 buyers are starting to get involved. There's more and more injuries. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.440 It's you know, it's a violent game. Those chickens are 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.240 coming home to russ and you know, one of the 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.240 things I would say is that we mentioned, you know, 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:26.040 fantasy baseball. Fantasy baseball is a marathon. Um, fantasy football 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.160 is a sprint so weeks so we can it's over 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.000 before you know it and need to adapt quickly. And 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.000 you also need to know, particularly of course in those 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.400 keeper and dynasty leagues, if you're gonna be a buyer 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.120 or a seller, and making that decision is one that 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.520 can have serious long term ramifications and it is not 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.440 one that should be taken lightly speeds. You and I 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.600 were just talking about this. I became a seller in 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.120 our long term keeper league. Like you know, I'm on 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.880 the outside looking in. My team doesn't have the upside, 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.040 and I moved well was a key piece. But I 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.720 really think that making that decision when when you're a 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.800 buyer or seller, needs to be done when you were 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.480 able to set the market. The last thing you want 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.280 to do is be scrambling to find a partner, you know, 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.120 when everyone else is all coupled up at the end 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.280 of the night. And and you also don't want to 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.840 wind up watching your studs that the pieces you're going 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.560 to trade for greater value get hurt, because as you said, 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.240 it's a violent game. It's over the six team game season. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.080 You know. I just really feel like it's a tough decision. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.720 But if you're gonna do what, you gotta go all 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.320 in and jump on it. What are your thoughts about absolutely? 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.520 I mean my phot about it is very very simple. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.240 When we say all the time here on the Fantasy 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.640 Freestyle is know your settings and know your league, all right, 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.800 and that he includes when the trading deadline is have 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.200 an honest evaluation of yourself. I feel like you know 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.360 what you need to do and then just make it happen. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.800 When we come back. What we're gonna do is we're 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.440 gonna go give you our spotlight game coverage for Week 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.360 nine of the NFL season.

We're in week nine 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.480 right now, Speeds. We've talked a lot about teams that 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.000 are coming out of their buys. We've talked a lot 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.080 about teams that are on their buy so fantasy players 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.040 really really need to adjust. We're gonna give you maybe 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.040 a couple of guys and some of these games that 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.200 you might consider picking up, and some of these guys 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.400 that you might not think it, but you'd want to 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:53.440 sit for. This week, let's start with the Dallas Cleveland matchup. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.000 Dallas looking pretty good, Cleveland not looking so good. I 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.120 feel really bad for Cleveland. I kind of hope that 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.440 j R. Smith shows up in this game and takes 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.520 his shirt off. It's just so the Browns could win 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.640 one this week. Now. They used up all their karma. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.000 It didn't work for the Indians. It didn't work for 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.920 the brown If we do it with Washington, we can 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.520 we call it the Cleveland baseball team. We can definitely 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.719 do the Cleveland baseball team. You heard it here first, 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.480 because they're even like more caricatures than even the Washington 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.200 football team. Yeah, but I think the Washington football team 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.320 like uses a slur, whereas the Cleveland baseball team uses 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.400 kind of like more of an agreed upon term. Either way, 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.000 they're both wrong and we're against them. You know, has 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.839 Dallas supplanted Minnesota over the last couple of weeks, is 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.839 the best team in the NFC? Um, you know, you 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.480 would tend to look that way. Minnesota really struggling with 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.400 their offensive line. It looked like having Jake Long off 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.000 the street to play left tackle, making that Chicago Bears 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.200 defense on Monday Night football look like the old Monsters 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.520 of the Midway. So I think that's a problem that 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.679 you know, when we talk about on Fantasy Freestyle, we 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.880 say that that's something that's not going to change all 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.960 season long. I remember we talked about that with Andrew 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.400 in Indianapolis. We talked about that with Russell Wilson and Seattle, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.000 and it looks like Sam Bradford and the Minnesota Vikings 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:11.559 are in the same situation. So despite their championship caliber defense, 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.320 I do think that that is a problem that Minnesota has. 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.080 On the flip side, the Dallas Cowboys just keep on 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.520 winning and they have what is what has to be 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.360 the easiest nonconference road game you really can have to 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.839 deal within week nine. So um, yeah, I think right now, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.840 if you have to make some kind of power rankings, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.439 it would be Dallas on top in the NFC. But 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.400 there's other teams that are still serious contenders. When you 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.160 look at teams like Green Bay, you look at teams 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.560 like Seattle, you even look at teams still like filling 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.320 in their own division. You have to still in Minnesota, 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.680 still in there, um, you know. And then there's somebody 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.520 in the South as well, whether that be Atlanta or 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.880 a revival in Carolina. Yep. Yeah. And one of the 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.840 things before we get into a little more about this 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.560 Cleveland and Dallas game, is you mentioned Jake Long signed 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.960 off the street. You always hear about NFL free agent 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.400 being signed off the street. When is the league going 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:08.120 to take seriously so many, so many of their former 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:12.280 players immediately homeless. There's what are they doing? Pull ups 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.679 on the stop sign, you know, don't walk sign that's 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.840 got holding. You know, just it's terrible and honestly, you know, 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.160 I just hope I never run into any of these 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.760 former players on the street immediately after that they've retired 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.840 or van caught. It's a terrible thing. Goodell, we're looking 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.960 at you. You need to address this doesn't care about 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.280 players safe If you want to crown them, take crowned 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.920 or ass but they are who we thought they were 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.600 wet about the They don't at all. You're gonna see, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.680 You're gonna see Ezekiel Elliott completely feast in this one. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.400 Um Cleveland cannot stop the run. They also cannot stop 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:52.600 the past speeds. Ezekiel Elliott's averaging twenty carries a game. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.360 Dallas regress when they think of the best or second 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.440 best or third best team in the NMC. They're looking 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.720 poised to make a play off run this year. Do 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.439 you think that Dallas at some point it's gonna is 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.000 gonna pull the reins back on him, possibly handcuffing owners 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.800 in the fantasy playoffs? And is this any sort of 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.839 deal to where you look at like an innings limit 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.240 for a picture. Do you take that into consideration at 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.080 all with running Max like Zeke. No. In fact, if 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.160 you remember in our preseason episode, I actually said that 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.480 I thought Zeke would toe the rock this year three 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.880 hundred times, and you were like, that's crazy, that would 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.080 be silly, They would never use them up that way, 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.640 and said, watch watch what happens. And it looks like 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.960 so far that has been the k zeke Um last 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.760 week twenty two carries. That is not you know, and 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.400 that's not abnormal for him. And I think they are 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.240 riding this new offense. That's the way they are doing it, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.720 trying to do it like it was two thousand and 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.480 fourteen with DeMarco Murray. The one only player I want 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.239 to talk about on the Cleveland side is a returning 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.360 Corey Coleman. Okay, this is a guy who was compared 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.160 to people like Percy Harvin. This is a guy who 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.880 for the last time he was on football field, he 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.080 scored two touches a ridiculous game. He went off in 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:05.800 that game, and he broke his arm in practice. He 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.760 broke his hand in practice that week, so nobody ever 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.360 really knew about it. And he uh he is back 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.480 after five or six weeks on the shelf, and I 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.840 think it couldn't be a minute too soon. I actually 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.560 think in this game, while I agree that Cowboys will 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.800 win this game, I do not think they cover the 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.680 road seven and a half points that they are a favorite. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.640 I think Cleveland is a scrappy team at home. I 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.600 think nonconference road games are tough to win, and also 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.720 a lot of the times when the Browns were looking 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.320 at utterly pathetic this year. It was with guys like 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:40.320 Charlie White Earths and Kevin Hogan as their quarterback. Josh 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:45.000 McCown or Coy Kesslers are both upgrades, and I think, um, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.600 when you have Terrell prior and now returning Coleman may 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.400 have the ability to have a close, closer game than 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:57.880 most people yo and speeds. Coleman is only owned right 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.800 now in of y'all who leaks, you might want to 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.640 just go out and pick him up right now. This 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.720 is a kid, as you said, who flashed before he 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.840 got hurt. No one really, no one really had a 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.840 chance to pick him up because he was hurt. You 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.800 didn't know what the time frame was from coming back. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.440 Looking like he is back, and he'll be playing with 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.880 either Kessler or mccount, who are better options than some 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.160 of the other r G three is Hogan's of the world. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:22.800 One thing I'll have to say real quick, Dallas is 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.120 tough on running back, so they've only allowed seventy five 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.640 yards on the ground once this season to Darren Sprawls. 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.080 Of all people I'm fading Isaaiah Cowell only a hundred 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.520 forty yards in his last four games. I don't really 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.480 love Johnson, but he can produce in that garbage time 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.760 that may allow Cleveland to come back and cover the 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.800 spread as a desperation flex player, even as an r 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.080 B two. If you gotta do what you gotta do it. 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.400 Moving on, let's go from their speeds to this Philadelphia 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.840 Eagles New York Giants divisional rivalry game. Yeah, for sure 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.680 on the giant side of things, I actually think they're 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.600 coming off to buy, which you really have to just 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:00.520 focus on. Is um who in the running back mutation 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.280 steps up? I think that's the thing I'm gonna want 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.320 to be looking at. If you remember that last game 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.520 and they had a London Rashan Jennings when he came back, 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.480 he has still not been doing in his last game 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.240 thirteen carries for twenty five yards. They've been slowly bringing 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.400 in Paul Perkins. Remember this is a theme you're gonna 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.879 hear me talking about all episodes here in the Fantasy 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.119 Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Paul Perkins last 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.840 week or the game before the bye, got four carries 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:31.000 twelve yards. But also, um, that's more than you know. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:32.960 He's been getting the whole rest of the time. That's 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.480 more than Bobby Rainey got to look like. That Bobby 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.879 Rainey role that he had for two or three weeks 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.760 is now gone and well as a team, they only 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.840 had twenty carries for the thirties six yards. So I'm 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.800 very interested to see what shakes out in the running 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.240 back room when it comes to the Giants off the 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.680 by I think they may integrate the rookie, and it 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.520 will also be interested to see who gets more targets 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.920 going forward between Cruise and Shepherd. So far, Chef has 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.920 you like to call him, has forty eight targets. The 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.560 victor Cruzes forty one. So I'm taking a wait and 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.000 see approach of the Giants because I think the true 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.560 story is about to emerge with them on offense. I really, actually, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.120 you know, I don't like either of the giants secondary 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.240 wide receivers. Chef the scene seven or eight targets in 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.160 every game since week two. He hasn't actually cleared thirty 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.760 two yards since Week three. Cruise, on the other hand, 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.560 doesn't have a touchdown since Week one and doesn't have 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.440 more than five catches in a game all season. You've seen, 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.480 you know, You've seen the squeaky wheel, get the grease. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.879 You've seen the squeaky reel have an extended role brance 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.280 with a kicking net, you know, and I think you 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.760 know Odell Beckham, whether you like him where you hate him, 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.920 is clearly the alpha dog in this offense. He says 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.439 he's eighty five percent healthy. Odell Beckham eating, even at 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.760 eighty five percent, should be able to eat against a 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.639 tough Philadelphia defense. That's legit, good but true wide receiver. 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.280 Once that's Antonio Brown, that's dead. So I'm gonna get 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.159 into a little bit later. I've had good weeks against him, 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.520 and he's basically been back to normal after the early 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.800 season slump. He's seen at least eight targets in every game, 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.520 and he's averaging ninety yards again. And you could trust 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:10.760 him and fire him up as a high end wide 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.359 receiver one in this one. All right, all right, you 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.760 let's keep it moving, y'all. Let's go to this Pittsburgh 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:21.320 Baltimore game, divisional matchup, a FC rivalry week rival rival. 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.840 And obviously the big question here is if Big Ben 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.920 Roethlisberger comes back. You know, we were talking about it 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.040 when he got hurt and I mentioned to you that 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.280 he likes to come back early. He likes to play, 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.600 and he only missed one game. It looks like after 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.840 knee surgery, you know, which is crazy, but taking advantage 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.280 after the bye. He's been practicing all week and is 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.159 slated to go. Would you be concerned about him in 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.760 his return or do you think him and Levian and 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.600 a b you know, immediately reignite their chemistry, start moving 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.639 the ball of good. I think, first of all, if 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.800 if if t sizzle, Terrell Suggs says he knows Ben 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.920 Roethlisberger is gonna play, that's good enough for Megers Big 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.040 it is gonna go, and no, completely not. I think 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.080 that that offense is humming when he is in there 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.120
