Speaker 1: need to hold you down. And sometimes people need to
Speaker 1: be held down, right Rob Yeah, man, I mean sometimes
Speaker 1: it needs to be held down, and sometimes they need
Speaker 1: to be brought up uplifted. And I really hope that
Speaker 1: that's what we do on this episode. You know, we
Speaker 1: got a lot for you. We got some red things,
Speaker 1: We've got some blue things. Put them together make purple.
Speaker 1: We always got some of that purple stuff with us. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just just happy to be here, surviving and
Speaker 1: thriving in America. You know, speeds. Um, we're going into
Speaker 1: week ten, right, we are, we are, we are, and
Speaker 1: we've been looking at the stats. We've been looking at
Speaker 1: the percentages, the tents of a point. To win your
Speaker 1: games when your leagues and win that cash. That's what
Speaker 1: we're here to focus on. You know, there's been a
Speaker 1: lot of things going on. You know. One of the
Speaker 1: things that you said, who were going to get into
Speaker 1: two traditional powerhouses, uh, you know that are maybe having
Speaker 1: they're having a moment to traditional American teams on the
Speaker 1: West coast. On the West coast, you've got those Oakland Raiders,
Speaker 1: you know, going coming back to respectability. Respectability. You know, well,
Speaker 1: let's see him do it in Oakland consistently, even though
Speaker 1: they did last week. But yeah, no, definitely that's a
Speaker 1: team really that you've got to watch. And there a
Speaker 1: traditional franchise, right, there's someone that we grew up in
Speaker 1: the eighties. The Oakland Raiders were largely respectable team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they had their glory years in the seventies and
Speaker 1: the John Madden when I'm most impressed about with your
Speaker 1: readers that creators is the way they beat the Broncos
Speaker 1: in their game last week when they announced themselves on
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. Um, they use six offensive linemen and
Speaker 1: ran on the Denver Broncos, which was different from what
Speaker 1: you thought after a car was coming off like a
Speaker 1: five hundred yard game. So they can beat people both ways.
Speaker 1: And you haven't see that the running game speeds we've
Speaker 1: talked about, I know you were actually really low on
Speaker 1: through everything they could at the wall to see what's stuck,
Speaker 1: and it seems like maybe he's gonna be after coming
Speaker 1: back from injury. What sticks for them it is I
Speaker 1: I will say this and sas Murray has a good
Speaker 1: coming back from injury, but they still use Washington and
Speaker 1: they used the Chard. I would say credit needs when
Speaker 1: we go to that offensive line. I saw that David
Speaker 1: Parr has only been sacked three times all season. He's
Speaker 1: only had eight q B hits on him all season.
Speaker 1: The Raiders invested in that offensive line in the off season.
Speaker 1: I think that's what's paying off at a big level
Speaker 1: to help the developing quarterback Ton far and you know,
Speaker 1: just to just to expand upon that with Carr, I
Speaker 1: remember I watched him closely. His rookie year had him
Speaker 1: in our home league, and he did not make backbreaking mistakes.
Speaker 1: There really wasn't a lot that you couldn't necessarily hang
Speaker 1: your hat on that. He did well low yards per temp,
Speaker 1: didn't really test downfield, but he did not make those
Speaker 1: stupid rookie mistakes. And you've seen him basically hold onto that.
Speaker 1: And as Speed said, they built up a line around him.
Speaker 1: They gave him some weapons on the outside in terms
Speaker 1: of a Marie Cooper Detroian things and now again adding
Speaker 1: a running game in that. Uh, you know, the defense
Speaker 1: is still suspect, but they couldn't they could make a
Speaker 1: real solid push. Let me tell you something, defense, you
Speaker 1: call him suspect. Khalil Mack is not suspect. He's one
Speaker 1: of the best edge rushers and outside linebackers in the game.
Speaker 1: I am confused as to why they did not give
Speaker 1: the attack is more help against him in Denver because
Speaker 1: he ridiculously killed him last year, did the same thing,
Speaker 1: getting a lot of pressure on Trevor simeon Yo. So
Speaker 1: while I think the Raiders are going to be able
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, I think they even have a
Speaker 1: shot at when defending Division. The thing I'll say out
Speaker 1: of this is that I think the Broncos might be
Speaker 1: in trouble here because you gotta remember the Chiefs are
Speaker 1: a very solid team out Bacus as well. So yeah,
Speaker 1: the Raiders may be on the rise, but Denver, despite
Speaker 1: their defense, there's been more and more questions around Simeon. Also,
Speaker 1: we have to know that Davante Booker has not loved that,
Speaker 1: so I think that opens it up for the Raiders
Speaker 1: to have a nice little path. On the NFC side,
Speaker 1: you know, we also have a team led by young
Speaker 1: talent and an offensive line that is the best record
Speaker 1: in the NFC. And we're talking about the Dallas Cowboy Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Speeds. What I will say is that I
Speaker 1: think that Dak Prescott, and I'm not going out on
Speaker 1: a limb here to say that Dak Prescott is a
Speaker 1: clear cut above Trevor Simeon. Trevor Simeon, I still feel
Speaker 1: not long for starting in Denver. It may not be
Speaker 1: this year, but it will almost definitely be next year.
Speaker 1: You'll see Paxton Lynch takeover. However, I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have found what they need in Dak Prescott, and I
Speaker 1: think that they finally realize it as well. You're seeing
Speaker 1: with Romo, they're saying he is now healthy, he's now
Speaker 1: ready to go. However, the Cowboys have been rolling. They've
Speaker 1: got Ezekiel Elliott, another rookie who's completely dominating the league.
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott is literally taking the ball and running with
Speaker 1: it for that Cowboys offense, behind that dominant offensive line,
Speaker 1: leads the league in Russian with eight hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: one yard. That's a lot of yards. One of the
Speaker 1: top backs in fantasy obviously, you know, maybe only David
Speaker 1: Johnson and others like that ahead of him. But also
Speaker 1: here's the thing that I keep a eye on on
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. UM, Dez still has yet to really produce
Speaker 1: outside the one game when he came back, only one
Speaker 1: for nineteen and his last ever very quiet last week.
Speaker 1: I was wrong about that. I thought I was. I
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna shine. But here's my question though,
Speaker 1: as if Dallas keeps on winning, UM and Dak keeps
Speaker 1: on winning but Dez does not produce, do you think
Speaker 1: Dez stays happy? Do you think des is just like
Speaker 1: with it and rolling, or does he start talking about
Speaker 1: that he meets the damn ball. I think that you'll
Speaker 1: see Dez Bryant be a good teammate and Des Bryant
Speaker 1: basically doing the right thing unless you catch the Cowboys
Speaker 1: in not one game, but in a two game losing
Speaker 1: streak where he's not getting the ball, and then I
Speaker 1: could see Des causing some problems for them, potentially in
Speaker 1: the media by saying, you know, Tony never, Tony never
Speaker 1: forgot about me, even though Tony Tony Romo also would
Speaker 1: oftentimes frustratingly not push the ball to deaz Um. But
Speaker 1: you know, I think that as long as the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are winning, you know, Dez isn't does isn't that much
Speaker 1: of a diva wide receiver. When they're winning, he'll say
Speaker 1: the right thing. If they start losing, and not just
Speaker 1: one game, I think two games in a row, you're
Speaker 1: gonna see a situation. All right, all right? You know
Speaker 1: the other thing we gotta get into. Since we last
Speaker 1: and gave you that, he gave you the fantasy freestyle
Speaker 1: dropping stats overbeat Fantasy freestyle. Um, we also have yet
Speaker 1: to give you our take on the interesting refereeing that
Speaker 1: took place in Seattle last week on Monday Night Football,
Speaker 1: where you had you know, Sherman obviously go off sides
Speaker 1: and then make contact going for the ball. He actually
Speaker 1: touching the ball, and then interestingly enough, the trainer coming on,
Speaker 1: so Carpenter has to sit out and play um. And
Speaker 1: what I said ronson Shock Howler is also on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio network, was like props for Rex because
Speaker 1: at first, I actually, you know, we watched football together
Speaker 1: a lot. I saw the play and was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: the trainer came out, he's gonna have to miss a play.
Speaker 1: I knew that. But then Rex to Spike it has
Speaker 1: to play. I give it to him on that, and
Speaker 1: we kill Rex all the time for quite frankly, not
Speaker 1: being like a good coach. That was a good move.
Speaker 1: I like that. Well, what I'll say is the refs
Speaker 1: also that judgment call on like the roughness or whatever.
Speaker 1: But then the mechanical hour of the time clock and
Speaker 1: the delay of game like they got holds. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll say two things about that. Three points the game
Speaker 1: strategy at the end. It's unfortunate that that happened. But
Speaker 1: in terms of a prime time game, the NFL really
Speaker 1: needed a good prime time game, and that that was
Speaker 1: not one that was necessarily shaping up to be a
Speaker 1: great game Seattle at home. But it was always a
Speaker 1: great game, was a fun game. But obviously the refs screwing.
Speaker 1: And I'll say at the ref screwed Buffalo at a
Speaker 1: three points there at the end. And you know, honestly,
Speaker 1: I think the refs should be castrated for for things
Speaker 1: like that. Yo, you talk about castration. That is a
Speaker 1: popular opinion over here. Apparently Buffalo kicking Carpenter his wife,
Speaker 1: uh actually had a lot of things to say about Twitter.
Speaker 1: Even referenced the I guess like the farm castration tool
Speaker 1: that they use what she described as like when when
Speaker 1: men don't act the right way, And it was very interesting.
Speaker 1: Sherman had some beef and especially with you're telling me
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman had an opinion. Yeah, he had an opinion,
Speaker 1: especially you know, with the context of other things that
Speaker 1: have happened this week. You know, I think it's a
Speaker 1: very interesting time. I would say, Ross, I have two
Speaker 1: questions for you. One, is there ever a good situation
Speaker 1: where the spouse or the children or the parents of
Speaker 1: a coach or a player or GM should be on
Speaker 1: Twitter Number one? And two, should these refs get paid
Speaker 1: and be full time employees? Of the NFL, so that
Speaker 1: maybe communication is better and these kinds of things don't happen.
Speaker 1: You can take him in any order you want. I'll
Speaker 1: feel the second one first. I'll say, you know, I
Speaker 1: often tell people that the NFL, taken alone, would be
Speaker 1: the sixth biggest economy in the world. They could occupy
Speaker 1: countries too as a military force. Yeah, I mean, the
Speaker 1: stat is actually not true at all, But the NFL
Speaker 1: generates a ton of revenue. The idea that what he
Speaker 1: control is it for the rig syste the five or
Speaker 1: six dozen people can't be paid full time salaries in
Speaker 1: the way of the referees can't be held to a
Speaker 1: little bit of higher standards. I think that's I think
Speaker 1: that that's completely ridiculous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they
Speaker 1: should also at least maybe just the referees the heads
Speaker 1: of all the cruise, right, because then you know, you
Speaker 1: could do a lot of things, have a consistent review,
Speaker 1: have consistent communication, used that throughout the year in clinics
Speaker 1: and um, you know, practices. I think there would be
Speaker 1: plenty of reasons to make that. You could even have
Speaker 1: hound the community, like refereeing street fights, pick basketball games,
Speaker 1: all types of stuff. Sorts of stuff to do that
Speaker 1: they could do in the off season. Right, Yeah, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, and not to me, it doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense at all. I'm sure that they're at
Speaker 1: one point back in the day may have been a
Speaker 1: good reason for that. The NFL is too big, too profitable,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, if they want the viewer to be
Speaker 1: confident that they're watching a game that the outcome has
Speaker 1: been judged by what happened on the field and not
Speaker 1: the whims of some some guys in prison outfits. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that they wanted to step it up,
Speaker 1: clean it up, and get that addressed to your second
Speaker 1: first question, question the preferred method of communication. If you
Speaker 1: happen to be a spouse, you know, if you're if
Speaker 1: your wife is in the w n b A and
Speaker 1: you're sitting there watching the game and you think that
Speaker 1: she gets fouled, um, peep it to yourself. If you're
Speaker 1: if you're you know, if your husband gets roughed by
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, um, and you're on Twitter like posting something
Speaker 1: that could potentially be viewed as racially insensitive or even
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. Uh No, what's the upside to that, you know,
Speaker 1: and everyone has those feelings and if you know you
Speaker 1: need to have an outlet for them, you'll go to
Speaker 1: the bar watch with your friend, you know. And also,
Speaker 1: isn't this like a you know, you're impacting. This is
Speaker 1: a business right, and so by doing that and making
Speaker 1: a quote unquote distraction, you're making your your family member
Speaker 1: asset less likely to be get signed, you know, later
Speaker 1: on in a future contract. You know, you don't want
Speaker 1: to create controversial who's my man? It's not going to
Speaker 1: mind the cornerback on Miami. His wife was extremely outspoken
Speaker 1: talking about how terrible Ryan Tanney Hill was Grimes, Yes,
Speaker 1: yes it was Brentan Brent Grimes wife was checking out
Speaker 1: on Twitter, ridiculously outspoken on Twitter. Even I believe, bringing
Speaker 1: up like the religious beliefs of the ownership and he's
Speaker 1: no longer there in my exactly. And you know, I
Speaker 1: would imagine also that if I was the ownership group
Speaker 1: that he was in discussions with it to be signed
Speaker 1: to a you know, eight figure deal, I would take
Speaker 1: that sort of thing seriously as a serious downside. And
Speaker 1: this is just nothing you would want. My rule thumb
Speaker 1: with social media is don't post anything you wouldn't be
Speaker 1: okay with your grandmother seeing and I'm I'm all good
Speaker 1: because my grandmother's were both really really cool, all right, right,
Speaker 1: so yeah, let's keep it moving. Video one other thing
Speaker 1: we want to do, because this is what we always
Speaker 1: do on Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: and check it out. If you like what you hear,
Speaker 1: you um follow us on Twitter, subscribe on iTunes. You
Speaker 1: could easily do that and get get us all the
Speaker 1: time and check us out on the Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network airing on Saturday. Speeds. It's funny you mentioned Twitter.
Speaker 1: I posted a poll for our gentleman's bet last week.
Speaker 1: It's with the Fantasy free that's a Fantasy Freestyle leave
Speaker 1: off the last few we won't make any errors, and
Speaker 1: we had a gentleman's bet last week. It was would
Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon put up more or less than ten points
Speaker 1: per game in PPR. Speeds took the over, and interestingly enough,
Speaker 1: our robust Twitter audience responded and Max, thanks to everybody
Speaker 1: for voting, y'all. Seriously, your vote does count. Fifty six
Speaker 1: percent of people agreed with Speeds. Then he would get
Speaker 1: the over, but not so much. No, it was not
Speaker 1: to be k Dix, as I call him when I'm
Speaker 1: betting against him, tallied a lowly thirteen yards from scrimmage.
Speaker 1: Most of all that was on the ground. He did
Speaker 1: add two catches for no yards and what is increasingly
Speaker 1: a very very messy and unproductive Baltimore back fields. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is interesting, especially with that change in offensive coordinators.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see what happens as they move along. Um, Box,
Speaker 1: I will say you, I think you do have the
Speaker 1: season lead in our Gentleman's bet. Um, I think you
Speaker 1: won one or two early. I got hot there for
Speaker 1: a little while and then stop, and then you got
Speaker 1: and then you got this one right here, So check
Speaker 1: it out. We'll be making our Gentleman's bet for week
Speaker 1: ten a little bit later on at the show. Um,
Speaker 1: when we come back. But we're gonna do is We're
Speaker 1: gonna go game by game and all our spotlight games. Right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell them who, you know, what they need,
Speaker 1: who to start, who said, who to try and trade for?
Speaker 1: Whose a good value? And that's gonna be on that
Speaker 1: rust belt, that sun belt, those communities that the districts,
Speaker 1: those parishes. Yeah, yeah, we're looking for talent everywhere. Um so, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back Fantasy Sports Radio Network. This is
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle, Game by game week ten high After this,
Speaker 1: get yourself a beverage you deserve. I would rather play
Speaker 1: with ten people and just get penalized all the way
Speaker 1: until we got to do something else, rather than play
Speaker 1: with the leven when I know that right now that
Speaker 1: person is not sold out to be a part of
Speaker 1: this team. We cannot play with him, cannot win with him,
Speaker 1: cannot coach with him. You can't do it. I want winners.
Speaker 1: I want people that want to win. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what it is. We're back here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. We're dropping stats over beats, rocks, and speeds.
Speaker 1: It's the Fantasy Freestyle. That's what we do. We give
Speaker 1: you everything you need so you can win your leagues
Speaker 1: and win that cash. Well we're gonna do right now
Speaker 1: is we're gonna talk about a few games that we
Speaker 1: need to get into here for weeks, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear about a lot of other games as we go
Speaker 1: through our flagship segments later on. Our game flow geniuses
Speaker 1: are diamonds and our Fantasy Gays. These fun out about them.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna talk about a couple of games here.
Speaker 1: One game I want to get into Rocks. The Houston
Speaker 1: Texans go to Jacksonville and an a f C South matchup,
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't think this would be one of our
Speaker 1: spotlight games, but I want to bring this up because
Speaker 1: I think, um the Texans they have some heat. I
Speaker 1: think they have an ascending UH Indianapolis team. I think
Speaker 1: they have an ascending, to be honest, Tennessee Titans team
Speaker 1: to worry about. The Texans need to win this divisional
Speaker 1: matchup on the road against Jacksonville. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting. I know you have a little bit of
Speaker 1: thoughts that we're gonna hear about Lamar Miller later on.
Speaker 1: What I want to talk about in this game is that, um,
Speaker 1: I fade DeAndre Hopkins here if you possibly can. And
Speaker 1: the reason is he in his chemistry with brock Oswidler
Speaker 1: still has not yet developed. But you know, I know
Speaker 1: they're going against a team that looks like they gave up,
Speaker 1: but I still I need to see it before I
Speaker 1: believe it. With the re emergence of Yes Speeds and
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I've kind of gone back
Speaker 1: and forth on this Texans team and how good they
Speaker 1: really are this season. I remember, um, I remember, you
Speaker 1: know the Texans are sitting now at five and three.
Speaker 1: I remember, I think it was Week three. They played
Speaker 1: the Patriots in Jacoby Brissett's never Start and you you
Speaker 1: said to me, and I don't mean to call you
Speaker 1: on as, but you said, you know, the Texans are
Speaker 1: gonna win this game because they're a good team. And
Speaker 1: Jacobe Barns, I was thirst string and he came out
Speaker 1: of nowhere shock the world and that one. So I
Speaker 1: kind of wrote the Texans off there, but they're they're
Speaker 1: clong their way back to respectability now coming off that
Speaker 1: by week I mean, I think that really Jacksonville has
Speaker 1: been so terrible in the first half that we're really
Speaker 1: seeing a repeat of what happened last year in terms
Speaker 1: of the garbage time Blake Bortles, bortal service, you know,
Speaker 1: uh Canadian Blake Um. You know, he's just basically been garbage,
Speaker 1: but still putting those points up in the second half.
Speaker 1: One thing I would watch POLSI Alan Hearns been having
Speaker 1: a dealing with the concussion. If he doesn't play in
Speaker 1: the game, that's looking likely to feature a lot more
Speaker 1: garbage time. Markis Lee may become interesting as a flag.
Speaker 1: Keep your eye out on that. I like Markisley. He
Speaker 1: can continue. He continues to get between six and nine
Speaker 1: targets a game. I would also say it was nice
Speaker 1: to see the true return of Chris Ivory in that
Speaker 1: last game. Eighteen carries a hundred and seven yards and
Speaker 1: was running hard like usual. Little thing. You might not
Speaker 1: know Blake Bortles. You were talking about bottle service before
Speaker 1: he had fifty four rushing yards in his last game.
Speaker 1: He There's been four games this season where Blake Bortles
Speaker 1: was the Jaguars leading rusher. Still, not only do you
Speaker 1: get garbage time production, but you get that running production
Speaker 1: from them as well. Another game, we're gonna go to
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, you know, talking about should they
Speaker 1: relax or should they be panicked? They go to Tennessee where,
Speaker 1: like I said, the Tennessee Titans are also contenders in
Speaker 1: the a f C South and they are home underdogs
Speaker 1: giving up get him two and a half points to
Speaker 1: the Green a Packers. What do you think about this one?
Speaker 1: Is adon Rodgers doing too much Rocks No, I mean
Speaker 1: I think that you know, they were dealt to bed
Speaker 1: hand in terms of what happened with their running back situation.
Speaker 1: I think they made the best of it with time Montgomery, um,
Speaker 1: and I think that you're seeing maybe James Starts coming
Speaker 1: back this week, making it a little bit more interesting,
Speaker 1: maybe giving them a little bit of that more traditional
Speaker 1: running back at the backfield. However, Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: say make the best of it. You know, honestly, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers looked to Montgomery out of the backfield, and I
Speaker 1: think he also, you know, has continued to become a
Speaker 1: little bit more comfortable with his wide receivers, primarily Davante Adams,
Speaker 1: who's really just been a beast in terms of PPR,
Speaker 1: but also Jordy Nelson getting loose a little bit downfield,
Speaker 1: getting some of those longer games, those splash plays and
Speaker 1: we were not seeing earlier in the season, and that
Speaker 1: everyone thought were so integral to the Packers offense functioning
Speaker 1: the way that we've known and loved them to function
Speaker 1: for years on end. So honestly, I think in this
Speaker 1: one that you're gonna see, you're gonna see Rogers do
Speaker 1: really well. I think also you will see, um, the
Speaker 1: running game, continue to struggle. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Check
Speaker 1: it out. Man, you should also be listening to this
Speaker 1: speci of spitting statistician hunt shot calls on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio networking for the last couple of weeks. I've
Speaker 1: been telling you it would be an interesting look. Maybe
Speaker 1: you want to stash a chain Starks for this purpose
Speaker 1: where he's gonna now get the load. I think would
Speaker 1: be an actual running game, and I think the Packers
Speaker 1: might round into form. I was wanting to point out
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers got forty six rushing yards last week,
Speaker 1: and I think that's indicative of him thinking about trying
Speaker 1: to do too much. On the Tennessee side of things. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't look like Derrick Henry is gonna play,
Speaker 1: and that means a ton of exotic smash mouth and
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray. They're going up the Packers run defense, which
Speaker 1: is number one in the NFL. But we did see
Speaker 1: Ze Gelliott kind of shread that a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: How do you think that's gonna go exotic smash mouth
Speaker 1: against the number one run defense? Oh, you know, impenetrable forest,
Speaker 1: first movable object or whoever the hell the old saying goes.
Speaker 1: You know, what I will say is that Marco Murray
Speaker 1: has proved a lot of people, including myself wrong. He
Speaker 1: is not done, But I do not think the recipe
Speaker 1: for success for the Titans team is running him into
Speaker 1: the ground. And it seemed like they knew that when
Speaker 1: they started talking about Henry getting more work. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at Murray. He's got a hundred seventy four
Speaker 1: carries through nine games. You know, Tennessee is still a
Speaker 1: game below five hundred. But you mentioned them as being
Speaker 1: serious competitors in that a you know, the Texans and
Speaker 1: the culture right there exactly. I think I think that
Speaker 1: they're going to be careful about running him into the ground.
Speaker 1: I think you may see a little bit more creativity.
Speaker 1: You may see Mariota doing a little bit of running
Speaker 1: in that game. I think you're gonna see a lot
Speaker 1: of Delaney Walker as well. I still think I've been
Speaker 1: on this all year, he has been fully healthy. By
Speaker 1: still think he is the Titans best wide receiver, pass catcher,
Speaker 1: tight end um. You know, I also think that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be more interesting to see are the Titans gonna
Speaker 1: be able to get that pressure on Aaron Rodgers. I
Speaker 1: believe he had six see running yards the week before.
Speaker 1: And you know, he's elusive enough in the pocket that
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a bad thing that he gets pressure
Speaker 1: for your fantasy time because he's willing to take goes,
Speaker 1: just take off downfield. And I think this will actually
Speaker 1: probably be a little bit of a closer game than
Speaker 1: a lot of people think. All right, all right, you
Speaker 1: know the next game we want to highlight here we
Speaker 1: tend on the fantasy freestyle dropping stats over beats. I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a good one. Rocks. The
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons go to Philadelphia. Um that Eagles defense has
Speaker 1: been pretty good, giving up only eighteen point one points
Speaker 1: a game, but can they handled the number one offense
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Maddie Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons scoring
Speaker 1: thirty three point nine points a game. That leaves the NFL.
Speaker 1: Mattie Ryan also leaves the NFL with twenty six hundred
Speaker 1: and three six passing yards. And you know, this is
Speaker 1: probably my worst haul of the Season's thesis fitting statistician
Speaker 1: was very adamant that you should have sold matt Ryan
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. I was wrong. Mattie Ryan looking
Speaker 1: like an NFL MVP candidate this game. But I will
Speaker 1: say look out for my man Mohammed. So he had
Speaker 1: a nice game last game, going nine catches, eighty four
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. And I think he's got a
Speaker 1: growing role as he gets more and more familiar. You
Speaker 1: can do a lot of things with Mohammed. Remember their
Speaker 1: uping games so far this season where Judio Jones has
Speaker 1: a little banged up, continues to play through it, but
Speaker 1: then becomes something of a decoy. I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 1: if some things like that happened in the City of
Speaker 1: Brotherly Love with Philadelphia. So I like Mohammed's to new
Speaker 1: someone to watch in this game. What you're looking at
Speaker 1: in this game rocks, you know, honestly, I think, uh,
Speaker 1: we maybe we're a little too early on Philly being real,
Speaker 1: and I think maybe a lot of that had to
Speaker 1: do with Carson Wentz. And I think that you're really
Speaker 1: going to see a test also for a Philadelphia defense
Speaker 1: that is supposed to be one of the true elite
Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL. YO, you get back to Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan actually as three thousand one of your thirty
Speaker 1: three completions in his career. That's the most in any
Speaker 1: NFL players first nine seasons. We simply don't think of
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan that way. He started fast in his career.
Speaker 1: You know, great connection with Roddy White. There was a
Speaker 1: time where they overlap and there was a bit of
Speaker 1: a downtime. Matt Ryan is completely back. If not the
Speaker 1: m v P, I think we could probably at least
Speaker 1: give Matt Ryan the Comeback Player of the Year award.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not really sold on Mohammed Sanu. I
Speaker 1: never have, and I think he's more as a gadget guy.
Speaker 1: I think Tyler Gabriel is a guy who got a
Speaker 1: little bit of burn last week. You saw it with
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown, but he's been more involved. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be shocked to start seeing him making a few more
Speaker 1: plays downfield as Matt Ryan becomes more and more comfortable
Speaker 1: in that offense, right right. You know you mentioned that
Speaker 1: on the Philadelphia Eagles, they may be doing a little
Speaker 1: bit fake. I've been saying for a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: that as they gathered tape on that rookie quarterback, we'll
Speaker 1: see if he would may be able to make the
Speaker 1: adjustments right back. Later on on the Fantasy Freestyle, You're
Speaker 1: gonna hear somebody else on the Philadelphia Eagles offense who
Speaker 1: I might have as one of my diamonds in the rough.
Speaker 1: Later on, we'll talk about that. Um. Like I said
Speaker 1: later on in the show, the Last Game, we want
Speaker 1: to get into his Monday Night Football rocks with the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals go to MetLife Stadium to take on the
Speaker 1: New York Football Giants. I have a feeling this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a good one for some reason. I think
Speaker 1: the points could be scored in this one, and I
Speaker 1: think the production can happen. One person that I'm telling
Speaker 1: you will produce, because he always produces, is a D J. Green.
Speaker 1: You remember here in Fantasy Freestyle we tip our cap
Speaker 1: to him, uh new baby daddy father. Remember yeah, if
Speaker 1: you want to crowd him, the crown yours. What are
Speaker 1: you seeing in this Monday night football game, Rocks? You know,
Speaker 1: I think that, as you just said, A J. Green,
Speaker 1: the New Father is gonna eat. I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: see Odell Beckham certainly eating as well for the New
Speaker 1: York Giants. One of the interesting things, and it's been
Speaker 1: interesting old season is the breakdown between a resurgent Victor
Speaker 1: Cruz and my boy Cheferd Sterling Shepherd. You know he's
Speaker 1: he's been the Giants wide receiver to wide receiver three
Speaker 1: getting some snaps in this slot, getting some snaps, and
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd getting snaps in the slot. Shepherd getting snaps
Speaker 1: in the slot, Sterling Shepherd getting snaps in the slot,
Speaker 1: Shirley Shepherd getting snaps in the slot. It's Sterling Shepherd
Speaker 1: getting snaps in the slot and my boy Paul from
Speaker 1: a story it was asking me about possibly acquiring Sterling Shepherd,
Speaker 1: who we now know gets snaps from the statistician. And
Speaker 1: I'm just good old rocks one. I won't winners. And
Speaker 1: I said, you know, pull the brakes on that. He's
Speaker 1: been seeing a ton of targets about eight per week,
Speaker 1: but he's not really turning them into too many yards.
Speaker 1: Do you get a touchdown last week? Uh? You know,
Speaker 1: I like him long term, but I don't see Sterling
Speaker 1: Shepherd is being a difference maker this week against the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and also try and avoid Victor Cruz at my
Speaker 1: could to show you on the Giant, the one person
Speaker 1: I do want to find out remember where was a
Speaker 1: constant theme. I've been talking about this at the time
Speaker 1: of the year, where those rookie running backs started, like
Speaker 1: Paul Berkins pp in this one. Okay, with Sean Jennings
Speaker 1: only one in eleven twenty six in his last game,
Speaker 1: and Paul Berkins also got eleven carrier. I think he's
Speaker 1: having a rowing roll. The only last player I'll point
Speaker 1: out on the Cincinnati side of things. Look for a
Speaker 1: continued growth in the offense out of Tyler eifert Um
Speaker 1: coming up a nine catch, one d two yard game,
Speaker 1: got in the end zone. He got hands on a
Speaker 1: ton of times last year. Four team touchdown last year.
Speaker 1: He's getting more and more healthy, and they need him
Speaker 1: because they've had trouble in the red zone. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be make them much more dynamic and honestly, also going
Speaker 1: to free up a j green for a little bit
Speaker 1: more single coverage on those jumps as no doubt, no doubt,
Speaker 1: when we come back, we will dive into a few
Speaker 1: specific players in our flagship segments. We do game flow
Speaker 1: geniuses that diamonds in the rough and the full gazes.
Speaker 1: So forget about it, yo, this is fantasy freestyle Rocks
Speaker 1: and Speeds here on a week to Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: will be right back. Yeah, yeah, Hello. You play to
Speaker 1: win the game. You don't play the chips, play it.
Speaker 1: You know. We are in the home stretch with you
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: It's your boy, Rocks, one young fist full of rings
Speaker 1: with my man Speeds, the spitting statistician. We're here to
Speaker 1: break down, breakdown, we call our flagships, all right, that's
Speaker 1: those diamonds in the rocks. Yea. We also, unfortunately have
Speaker 1: to give you some fool days. And of course we
Speaker 1: got our game flow geniuses, letting you know who's poised
Speaker 1: to have a bigger week than usual because the way
Speaker 1: that game script is gonna work for them. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: start off with these games flow geniuses. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give him one in them in the head. Yo.
Speaker 1: I dug real deeper than this cat was only seven
Speaker 1: percent owned. I'm talking about Treek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I liked this for a number of reasons.
Speaker 1: I want to see what you think about it, Rocks.
Speaker 1: First of all, um, Jeremy Macklin, no good, No good
Speaker 1: is growing. There's right, Listen, Tyreek Hill is a guy
Speaker 1: that they try to get involved in the offense regardless.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who ran the ball twice uh
Speaker 1: last week. They do a little end the rounds for
Speaker 1: him stuff like that. He also, if you remember two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, made a huge diving one handed grab for
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And I also like that the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs will be welcoming back starter Alex Smith this week.
Speaker 1: UM to be able to go against a Carolina defense
Speaker 1: that we talked about that young secondary. They may have
Speaker 1: figured some things out after the by the defense is
Speaker 1: looking much better, but but I think they're still young
Speaker 1: in the secondary and can still be beating. I think
Speaker 1: they will be big plays from Tyree Hill for Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs game that's going to travel east and do work.
Speaker 1: Uh Tyreek Hill game flow genius. I like it. And
Speaker 1: you know he'll uh hell Hell's already got four touchdown
Speaker 1: grabs on the season. Um. And I think also, like
Speaker 1: with macklen out, you know you're gonna hear and make
Speaker 1: it into it a little bit. I honestly think that
Speaker 1: Kelsey will be the main beneficiary. However, Tyreek Hill has
Speaker 1: looked pretty damn good when he's had the ball in
Speaker 1: his hands and they've tried, as you said, to scheme
Speaker 1: him the ball whenever there is whenever there's a number
Speaker 1: one that's out. It's definitely good to look to a
Speaker 1: guy who's proven he can do a lot with his
Speaker 1: touch as who might get a lot more. I really
Speaker 1: like that. In terms of the game genius, I did
Speaker 1: not dig very deep at all for for my first
Speaker 1: game ll genius and that's Lamar Miller. He's on fan
Speaker 1: duel that's still still upper echelon, but maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit lower than he was early in this season. Coming
Speaker 1: off their bye week, the running back coach says he's
Speaker 1: going to be back to a workforce role. You gotta
Speaker 1: like that because, particularly in this game against the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna see Lamar Miller losing garbage time production
Speaker 1: to Alfred Blue, which unfortunately has been like groundhog days
Speaker 1: of Lamar Miller owners this year, watching Brock Hosswider get
Speaker 1: the team in you know, two and three score holes
Speaker 1: as Lamar Miller is off the field. You know, he
Speaker 1: has basically been averaging twenty two touches a game. Despite
Speaker 1: that bad game script Jacksonville has been outscored by their
Speaker 1: opponents hundred to fifty four in the first half this season.
Speaker 1: That's obviously the largest differential in the NFL, and I
Speaker 1: think that that bode is really really well for the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans offense that wants to get him touches coming
Speaker 1: out of the Buy the game script should help him
Speaker 1: in this one. I think he's gonna go for at
Speaker 1: least a hundred yards and a touchdown with a couple
Speaker 1: of catches thrown in for good measure. I'd also say
Speaker 1: for those of you in leagues where the trading deadline
Speaker 1: is rapidly approaching, Miller has been, by no means a
Speaker 1: bus but he has not lived up to those lofty
Speaker 1: expectations that were placed on his shoulders when a lot
Speaker 1: of fantasy owners made him a first round pick. The
Speaker 1: schedule is substantially softer in the second half of the
Speaker 1: season than it was in the first. He's still on
Speaker 1: pace for about fourteen hundred yards from scrimmage. If you
Speaker 1: can buy low, I would buy low before this game
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville, Lamar Miller game flow genius. Rest of season genius,
Speaker 1: putting down the Gaunt's saying he's gonna snap back after
Speaker 1: the bye that they had. They're gonna be looking good, hopefully.
Speaker 1: I I hope the same as a DeAndre Hopkins owner
Speaker 1: that the said pass picking it up. My next game
Speaker 1: flow genius is gonna be Michael Thomas, New Orleans wide receiver.
Speaker 1: You can get him at sixty four hundred on the
Speaker 1: fan duel and listen. I know that Denver who's coming in,
Speaker 1: has the number one past defense in the NFL, giving
Speaker 1: up only one hundred and eighty three yards a game.
Speaker 1: I'm aware of that. Okay, however, and my boy Rocks
Speaker 1: has been all over it, not only for days, but
Speaker 1: least put years. Drew Brees in the dome, I will
Speaker 1: set my clock to it, and I hope you set
Speaker 1: your clock to it going back for daylight savings time
Speaker 1: last week. Yo, I don't care who it is that's
Speaker 1: coming in. Drew Brees will put up his three hundred yards,
Speaker 1: he will put up two to three to four touchdowns.
Speaker 1: And so the thing is, I still think that Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas is the ascending talent among this core. I also
Speaker 1: think he is the red zone target among this core.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see you know your guys like
Speaker 1: Harris on Brandon Cooks. I think they're gonna try to
Speaker 1: focus on Cooks and then I think that sneeze will
Speaker 1: guys whatever, But Thomas is gonna be the one who
Speaker 1: eats Thomas five for seventy three and his last game
Speaker 1: with two touchdowns. I reinforced here the red zone looks
Speaker 1: are good. You thought it was gonna be Kobe Fleaner
Speaker 1: who would get these red zone looks, but instead it
Speaker 1: has been Michael Thomas. He's my game flow genius. The
Speaker 1: Saints will throw in the dome. That is the game
Speaker 1: flow that I am pretty he's certain of. I like
Speaker 1: that call, Spears, and you know, I really thought that
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas was being overdrafted a bit based on Willie's snead,
Speaker 1: And honestly, you've just watched Thomas's role grow growth. Snead
Speaker 1: has not looked completely the same instance coming back from
Speaker 1: that toe injury, and you're completely right. The Saints are
Speaker 1: going to be throwing in that fast track of the dome,
Speaker 1: and I also don't think that they're going to be
Speaker 1: able to stop Denver. I love that call. My second
Speaker 1: game flow genius is Jonathan Stewart. He's at home versus
Speaker 1: the Chiefs as a three point favorite. I personally expect
Speaker 1: that game against a good Chiefs team to be an
Speaker 1: extremely close game. I don't think you're gonna see either
Speaker 1: team with much of a two score lead in the
Speaker 1: second half. I think that you're gonna basically see Carolina
Speaker 1: with a slight lead in that second half when you
Speaker 1: get late in that second half. And Stewart has had
Speaker 1: over sixty of his team's carries since he's come back
Speaker 1: from his injury. The Chiefs are not allowing touchdowns to
Speaker 1: the running back position, but they are allowing the third
Speaker 1: highest yards per carry to the position, and of all
Speaker 1: Russian attempts them have gone from more than five yards.
Speaker 1: That's the highest in the league. Stewart is a solid
Speaker 1: RB two this week. He's six hundred on fan duel.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna push twenty touches. He's the sixteenth
Speaker 1: most expensive. He's in that kind of muddled middle, but
Speaker 1: I expect him to finish well above that in the
Speaker 1: tween to teen range, because I think gameflow is going
Speaker 1: to be on his side in this one. Al Right, right, yo,
Speaker 1: Let's give him the other things they need to win
Speaker 1: their leaves and win that cash. As we move along
Speaker 1: week ten, here the NFL season fantasy freestyle, Rocks and
Speaker 1: Speeds dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy freestyle we're
Speaker 1: gonna give you. Now are diamonds in the rough. And
Speaker 1: you know these are valuable. Son. When Rocks and Speeds
Speaker 1: give you these diamonds, what you need to do is
Speaker 1: insert them in your DFS lineup. These will be values
Speaker 1: for you. So that's how hoping you win your leagues
Speaker 1: and win that cash. Okay, my first diamond. We go
Speaker 1: to the tight end position and I'm giving out zach
Speaker 1: Ertz this week. Okay, zach Ertz is only for sure
Speaker 1: on fans bottoms. It's crazy. It's crazy. Only one hundred
Speaker 1: like above the minimum for a guy who had eight
Speaker 1: catches for nineties seven yards last week, finally being noticed
Speaker 1: as the security blanket four rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. This week,
Speaker 1: the head coach also said twice that they need to
Speaker 1: get him the ball more and that they need to
Speaker 1: look for him in the red zone more. I think
Speaker 1: that matters. You also are going against that Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: defense that is thirty feet in the NFL against the
Speaker 1: tight end. I think it all lines up and you
Speaker 1: get him right above the minimum, unless you're gonna go
Speaker 1: for guys like Gronk or Olson or the ascending Jimmy
Speaker 1: Graham again. You know, like we're talking about. If there's
Speaker 1: there's so many guys that are in like the six thousand,
Speaker 1: five thousand range, we're talking zach Ertz here going up
Speaker 1: in production for undred. That's a diamond in the rough.
Speaker 1: I'm digging for you. I'm finding you something that is valuable.
Speaker 1: Please remember to use it and cherish it in wheat
Speaker 1: and zach Ertz shine bright like a diamond. I do
Speaker 1: love that Earth's call Um. I'm gonna go with a
Speaker 1: different tight end though, I will say Speeds he kind
Speaker 1: of sold me on trying to see where I could save.
Speaker 1: I could save some money on tight end and maybe
Speaker 1: go in other places. But I will say is don't
Speaker 1: throw in the towel on Travis Kelsey. He got tossed
Speaker 1: last week in the middle of a productive game, five
Speaker 1: for fifty eight, and I like him to do damage
Speaker 1: against the Panthers team that also cannot cover the tight
Speaker 1: end position. Basically, Kelsey has been a beast throughout his
Speaker 1: career with the ball in his hands. The problem is
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Alex Smith have been reluctant to fords
Speaker 1: feed him. We talked about earlier. Jeremy Macklin is out
Speaker 1: this week. They're playing at Carolina defense has allowed the
Speaker 1: fourth most yards and third most receiving scores to tight end.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna lead his team in targets. You
Speaker 1: know where to word to Tyreek Hill Hill get some
Speaker 1: splash plays. But he's looked explosive with the ball in
Speaker 1: his hands. And like I said, I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: be scheming it to him a bit more than normal.
Speaker 1: And hey, this is not for the faint of heart.
Speaker 1: Kelsey has let you down in a couple of spots
Speaker 1: earlier in the season against the Raiders and against the Saints,
Speaker 1: both of whom have bad past defenses. However, Carolina bleeding
Speaker 1: points to the tight end position. I'm trusting him in
Speaker 1: this one. I think he's an extremely strong DFS play.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to try how about it, But you
Speaker 1: know we're suggesting these tight ends. You know, I'm sensing
Speaker 1: maybe we can have a little gentleman's bet of Kelsey
Speaker 1: versus this week. But because Kelsey cost. I think I
Speaker 1: need to get some points here, right, How can we
Speaker 1: how can we make the has happened gentleman's best? All right,
Speaker 1: let me do some quick math seventeen so I'll give you.
Speaker 1: I'll give you hurts plus. I'll give him the seven
Speaker 1: weak crazy give earths plus twenty five of his output first,
Speaker 1: Kelsey plent. That sounds like a gentleman's bed for weeks ten,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. I don't know how I'm gonna calculate this.
Speaker 1: I think this bet is rigged the left time. But
Speaker 1: it's the week ten and gentleman's bet Rocks and speeds
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. You know you sold arts though I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, Ben, let me see if I
Speaker 1: can sell you on my next diamond in the rough
Speaker 1: for week ten, and that is C. J. Procise. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you have been seeing the trend in Seattle,
Speaker 1: but Christine Michael has not been doing it for Seahawks.
Speaker 1: We'll get to our fugaz he's a little bit later.
Speaker 1: But yes see, Mike has been a problem. Five carries
Speaker 1: only one yard. He's saved you by getting into the
Speaker 1: end zone. I think he's trending bad. They're also one
Speaker 1: or two weeks away from Thomas Rawls return, and you know,
Speaker 1: Speeds has been in statistician has been talking about this
Speaker 1: for a while. They have been consistently talking Rawles up,
Speaker 1: and they even have said that c J pro Sise
Speaker 1: will get a lot of work this week because they
Speaker 1: don't want to go to C Mike and because Thomas
Speaker 1: Rawls is not ready. C J Prosise in the game
Speaker 1: also against the New England Patriots, which will probably be
Speaker 1: a little bit high scoring, so I expect the third
Speaker 1: down passing catch back to be on the field a lot.
Speaker 1: I think c J pro sizes, trust me, a great value, Rocks.
Speaker 1: C J pro Sise forty seven hundred another bottom value.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, you could put in c
Speaker 1: J Prosise and zach Ertz and you know Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: and Tree killed these people I'm giving you, and you
Speaker 1: can get whoever else speed. What do you what are
Speaker 1: you spending this extra money on the gold Fire? I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, Tom tell I'll tell you what. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you again, Rocks, I'm glad you asked that, Okay,
Speaker 1: because I'm spending up at running back this week. I'm
Speaker 1: spending up at running back for two people. David Johnson
Speaker 1: this week, because he's playing that Sanford historically bad San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners run defense that is giving up a
Speaker 1: hundred and nineties somemine yards a game, Southern getting act
Speaker 1: by not one but to New Orleans States, And you know,
Speaker 1: they give David Johnson the ball all the time. You know,
Speaker 1: Rots as someone who had shares of Carson Palmer in
Speaker 1: recent weeks, Bruce arians has gotten away from just letting
Speaker 1: Palmer do whatever one you should. And they give the
Speaker 1: ball to David Johnson and they're coming and they're coming
Speaker 1: up a bye and now against historically and run defense. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I don't care that he's highest on the board
Speaker 1: at ninety four hundred. I am paying up for David
Speaker 1: Johnson this week. I am also paying up for Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon this week. Melvin Gordon apparently is now a touchdown
Speaker 1: scoring machine. And last week he got thirty touches over
Speaker 1: thirty touches over two hundred and sixty combined yards, and
Speaker 1: he's playing at home against the Dolphins defense that has
Speaker 1: to travel across the country and is thirtieth in the
Speaker 1: NFL against the run, I think, and and Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: is doing everything from the San Diego charges and Rocks,
Speaker 1: I have one more note on Melvin Gordon. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know this, and this is what we
Speaker 1: do here, guys, not on the Fantasy Sports radio network,
Speaker 1: but on the Fantasy freestop. Rocks does not know what
Speaker 1: I'm about to say because we've freestyle. And Melvin Gordon's
Speaker 1: father is coming home from prison next month, okay at
Speaker 1: his mother. True, we don't know and his mother and
Speaker 1: I was cited that, Um, this is why Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: is playing inspired football because he just found out his
Speaker 1: dad is coming home and that he's going to be
Speaker 1: inspired for the rest of the season. So I'm so
Speaker 1: glad you asked. I'm paying up for David Johnson and
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. But my diamond if you need a value
Speaker 1: in weeks and c J grow site diamond. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: My my second diamond this week is is Manny Sanders.
Speaker 1: He's only six on the fan du well, and he's
Speaker 1: getting a Saints defense that is basically the nicest thing
Speaker 1: you could say about them is at times they've bent
Speaker 1: badly and then broken, you know, uh, and I really
Speaker 1: think that the time is right. He's been outside of
Speaker 1: the top twenty for four weeks in a row. Now
Speaker 1: that's why you're seeing him as that discounted price, because
Speaker 1: Trevor Simmons plays fallen off a clip that said, despite
Speaker 1: all of that, he's been seeing consistent targets, and he
Speaker 1: has seen ten plus in the last two weeks. The
Speaker 1: Saints are completely burnable. The Saints also, as Speeds talked about,
Speaker 1: are gonna be putting some numbers on the board even
Speaker 1: against even toub defense. I think this is the one
Speaker 1: situation I think offense defense the reason the Dome I've
Speaker 1: never seen it really get shut down, you know. And
Speaker 1: I would say also that even though Delvin rows back
Speaker 1: for that secondary, they've still got a ton of problems
Speaker 1: that can't really get at the quarterback. I like him,
Speaker 1: particularly pick Us and you know, again we're talking some
Speaker 1: bottom barrel guys here. He's six hundred dollars cheaper than
Speaker 1: to Marius Thomas. They've basically been equivalent players this season.
Speaker 1: You've seen maybe more looks between the twenties to Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Sanders and maybe a little bit more willingness to go
Speaker 1: to DT in the red zone. But I think both
Speaker 1: of them can eat. I'm gonna go with the value
Speaker 1: play here comparatively, and I think that Manny Sanders is
Speaker 1: clearly that dude. He's a very reasonable r B. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: he's a very reasonable wide receiver to who can return
Speaker 1: easy wide receiver one numbers and what might be more
Speaker 1: of a shootout in the dome than a lot of
Speaker 1: people are expecting. Oh yeah, it's never a bad thing
Speaker 1: in my opinion, to take a wide receiver against the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. Yo. But now we've been giving out
Speaker 1: the game flow geniuses, we've been giving out these diamonds
Speaker 1: in the rough. We gotta let them know who to
Speaker 1: avoid rocks in week ten because we don't want these
Speaker 1: guys to you know, you don't want to be spending
Speaker 1: up too much on certain guys that are gonna underp
Speaker 1: one of these people we think are gonna underperform. If
Speaker 1: you don't know how we do about it, Lefty from
Speaker 1: Mulberry Street to tell you, but we look at the
Speaker 1: fantasy fool gazes as how do you know what's to
Speaker 1: food gazing? We looked at it for seconds, y, I
Speaker 1: know the FLA forget about it day, Rocks, it was
Speaker 1: your first week and full gaze Yo. Shout out to
Speaker 1: my people's from Tulane. Shout out to the Green Wave
Speaker 1: proud alumni, Rock Swan young fist full of rings. Ben
Speaker 1: had them rings since I was down in the dirty.
Speaker 1: Um I got the all two Lane running Back edition
Speaker 1: from my food. Yeah you call him pride and then
Speaker 1: calling him full gazing. Well. Shout to tu Lane for
Speaker 1: even having two running backs currently starting in the NFL
Speaker 1: right now, and the first one is the current starter.
Speaker 1: And you might think that you snagged Rob Kelly off
Speaker 1: Waivers a while back. Now you've got Jay Gruden calling
Speaker 1: him the lead back. The timing is perfect. There's so
Speaker 1: many teams on by. He is a clear cut plug
Speaker 1: and play for you. Couldn't be so simple. Whoa pumped
Speaker 1: those brakes? Son? Get that loop out as a jeweler
Speaker 1: and look a little bit closer. Listen, he ran hard
Speaker 1: last week. Props to him. Eighty seven and a tud.
Speaker 1: Minnesota is still very, very very tough against the run.
Speaker 1: Even though you've seen some cracks in that edifice of
Speaker 1: the defense the last couple of weeks, they've actually only
Speaker 1: allowed more than seventy yards once this season. And your boy,
Speaker 1: your boy, Rob Kelly, He's only handled more than five
Speaker 1: carries once in his career. That was last week. He
Speaker 1: only has one catch on the season. There's no upside
Speaker 1: whatsoever for him in the receiving game. And guess what,
Speaker 1: Matt Jones is expected to be back playing behind him,
Speaker 1: and you've got Chris Thompson lurking and still involved. I
Speaker 1: think Rob Kelly, even at the bottom barrel price of
Speaker 1: on fan duel, is nothing more than a food gaze.
Speaker 1: I much prefer Chris Thompson and PPR leagues. I could
Speaker 1: understand why he might be a value moving forward in
Speaker 1: a better matchup, but not this week. Let's see how
Speaker 1: it shakes out. Food gaze. Forget about They don't forget
Speaker 1: about him. The first person I'm telling you, guys you
Speaker 1: need to forget about in week ten is Julian Edelman. Listen,
Speaker 1: I've been telling you I've been down in fading Julian
Speaker 1: Edelman for a while the same theory, and I don't
Speaker 1: know that he's ever really popped off. He's been middling
Speaker 1: in the same kind of levels of production, especially in
Speaker 1: standard leagues, all season long. And I've been talking about
Speaker 1: this for a while. It's almost like I called my
Speaker 1: shot on shot callers and the Fantasy Freestyle. Listen, here's
Speaker 1: the theory. The New England Patriots and their thirty nine
Speaker 1: year old quarterback Tom Brady. He's even older than us
Speaker 1: Ron's um. He is getting his production from the middle
Speaker 1: of the field. It is that Gronk, It is that
Speaker 1: you know black Unicorn. Remember they're trying to replicate what
Speaker 1: they had with Gronk and Aaron the murderer Fernandez, and
Speaker 1: also they have you know, James White. But interestingly enough
Speaker 1: this week expect Dion Lewis to potentially get that practice okay,
Speaker 1: and so that all being in a late push even
Speaker 1: more even more inside the middle of the field targets
Speaker 1: less on the outside. I don't think Edelman does it.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, they're playing Seattle, so the
Speaker 1: legion of boom will be on him, maybe Sherman. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be not the easiest secondary to throw on. So
Speaker 1: they're gonna do more Patriot style attacking. I say, go
Speaker 1: far far away from Edelman. No reason to pay for
Speaker 1: him at six thousand. I would rather give you either
Speaker 1: of the receivers I told you even Tyreek Hill over
Speaker 1: Edelman this week. I think I might make a gentleman
Speaker 1: bet about that. But regardless of that, Julian Edelman against
Speaker 1: the Seattle legion of boom for games, you forget about them,
Speaker 1: you know, let's what's good with that? Gentleman's Batman. I
Speaker 1: think I kind of agree with everything you've said to
Speaker 1: a certain extent. However, I think Edelman is see basically
Speaker 1: exclusive snaps out of the spot and you've seen Seattle.
Speaker 1: I know Cam Chancellor is coming back this week, but
Speaker 1: you've seen Seattle show some vulnerability in the middle of
Speaker 1: the field. So I agree You've You've been spot on
Speaker 1: with Edelman all season, and I've been burned trying to
Speaker 1: be an edlemen boost yourself into a double general double
Speaker 1: Gentleman's that? Yeah, I mean it's it's crazy, but you're
Speaker 1: gonna give me that twenty five percentage point Hills that
Speaker 1: I was hoping it was a differ, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: hell hell you're only young, beautiful and on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports radio network a few times in your life. It's
Speaker 1: double double gentleman. What doing dangerous things? It's already a
Speaker 1: new day in America. What's the codes? It's a new
Speaker 1: day on the fantasy Freestyle. You know, I got another
Speaker 1: fool gaze for dropping dropping. What I'm telling you was
Speaker 1: my next fool gaze. And this is a more expensive
Speaker 1: dude than the seven thousands. Todd Gurley. Todd Gurley is
Speaker 1: a fool gazzy me. If you know anything about speed
Speaker 1: and spitting statistician, you know that he he's a Jets
Speaker 1: fan and that also he understands that the Jets defense
Speaker 1: has been good against the run all the season long,
Speaker 1: with the little exception of last week against Give and
Speaker 1: now the Jets have also had some interesting things. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw Sheldon Richards don't want to
Speaker 1: go to practice, Mohammed, welcome to you. Don't want to
Speaker 1: go to practice. They don't even want to go. Don't
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Thank celebration. They had a cake
Speaker 1: for him at the meeting. It was his birthday. It
Speaker 1: was mobiles his birthday. They don't even know that he's
Speaker 1: gluten free and it was gluten in that case. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's a big, big, big problem. But I
Speaker 1: think they might be aggressive and be really excited to
Speaker 1: stop Todd Gurley. And outside of this, I think the
Speaker 1: Jets will try to force his case keenom from Jared Goff,
Speaker 1: whoever it's gonna be to beat him through the air,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what regardless of that happens. I
Speaker 1: don't think Gurley gets anything higher than sixty yards against
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. That's why he is my fool gaze.
Speaker 1: Another one, I give you my cap speeds credit when
Speaker 1: it's two speeds was early on that get rid of
Speaker 1: your girly share as well. He made the box have
Speaker 1: a chance to bounce back. You really got to wonder
Speaker 1: what's going on behind the scenes in l A. And
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about I'm not talking about I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about the casting couch. I'm talking about you don't
Speaker 1: trade up. You do not trade up to get a
Speaker 1: guy like that. I got a website for you if
Speaker 1: you like the casting, you know, and then and then
Speaker 1: just completely sit him. It's really interesting. And you know,
Speaker 1: you heard Chris Carter go off on the Rams, but
Speaker 1: also Jared Goff this week is just so he was
Speaker 1: basically Chris Carter was like, he's terrible, and yeah, he doesn't.
Speaker 1: I don't think he understands that how to make play calls.
Speaker 1: That's what it wasn't. That's what it wasn't hard knocks
Speaker 1: in the spring training. I don't think he's gathering and
Speaker 1: gratsping the offense. You gotta study up man, you know,
Speaker 1: and I know all the stereotypes about the blonde quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: But you know your kid, you know you'd hope that that,
Speaker 1: you know, give him some matter all or something, right,
Speaker 1: you know, Kenny for Carol and vaccinated rocks. You got
Speaker 1: one the last few days for the people. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: just coming full circle, that all two lane running back edition.
Speaker 1: You could probably guess it if you know you're from UM.
Speaker 1: But it's Matt Forte. Matt Forte out of that Green wave.
Speaker 1: He's been a top ten pp R back the last
Speaker 1: three weeks. That street stops against the Rams. Like the Jets,
Speaker 1: the Rams are pretty pretty solid against the run. They've
Speaker 1: actually only allowed to top ten backs on the season
Speaker 1: and the fifth fewest yards to the position. He's the
Speaker 1: tenth highest money running back on fan duel at He
Speaker 1: will not finish this week as anywhere near the tenth
Speaker 1: highest running back. He's really performed very, very poorly this
Speaker 1: year when he's faced those tough run defenses. The Seattle
Speaker 1: defense that we talked about a little bit earlier forty
Speaker 1: three combined yards and the Arizona defense only twenty two
Speaker 1: combined yards. I would I would put the rams and
Speaker 1: maybe not quite that class, but still extremely solid. The
Speaker 1: receiving floor, which has helped him throughout his career, was
Speaker 1: so present in Chicago that made him so easy to
Speaker 1: count on in pe pure leagues, has not really been
Speaker 1: there so much is really limiting his floor. Blah. Powell
Speaker 1: much more involved as a past game back, and he's
Speaker 1: even seen carries six in the last two weeks. I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see Matt Forte totally reliant on a
Speaker 1: touchdown to return value this week. I would be grudging
Speaker 1: we started if I had to as an r B
Speaker 1: two in a PPR league, No way. I'm touching him
Speaker 1: for the fan duel, full gaze and forget about it.
Speaker 1: You know. I like that call as well, Rocks, because
Speaker 1: I expect a little bit more of that. That's what
Speaker 1: you have here, Rocks and Speeds on the Fantasy Freestyle,
