Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As you can see
Speaker 1: on YouTube live, we have a new addition to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle and right now we already have a comment
Speaker 1: and an interesting one. We had a viewer out there,
Speaker 1: I say, what about Julian edel Finn, which I think
Speaker 1: is very interesting. We will keep the suggestions going on
Speaker 1: our air at eight four four eight four, three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. You can also hollow at us on
Speaker 1: twit where you can comment on the YouTube stream. We
Speaker 1: like all of the suggestions so far. Listen, I want
Speaker 1: to get into real quick. I had a run down
Speaker 1: plan and then in like at two hours ago, this
Speaker 1: Yankee Tigers game had not one, not too but three
Speaker 1: incidents in it started with Miguel Cabrera and Austin roll
Speaker 1: Mind and they were throwing hands. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I believe more punches were landed in that brawl. Then
Speaker 1: will be landed by Connor McGregor on Saturday. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now, roll mind Cambrera, even el Gaddy Sanchez
Speaker 1: got a couple in their catch your solidarity for the Yankees,
Speaker 1: and then a couple innings later, Dylan Patantis with a
Speaker 1: ninety eight mile an hour fastball to the head of McCann. Listen,
Speaker 1: I can't endorse that. Although I am a Yankee fan,
Speaker 1: I will say, maybe it is possible that his command
Speaker 1: just lost it, you know, it just left him. That
Speaker 1: has happened before. I don't necessarily know what his intentional,
Speaker 1: but after you know what we saw earlier in the game,
Speaker 1: it probably is and we have to admit that. But
Speaker 1: then in response, Todd Fraser gets plunked. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. We have not seen this kind of fighting
Speaker 1: and animosity and straight up brawl in in I would say,
Speaker 1: a couple of years in Major League Baseball. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: Let's see what the repercussions are. You gotta think there
Speaker 1: will be some suspensions after that. I do think it
Speaker 1: could be a galvanizing force for a team that wants
Speaker 1: to try to come together. Think about this. Yankees fans
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine and the Yankees were in
Speaker 1: a brawl. They also won the World Series in those years.
Speaker 1: I want to keep it moving though here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle and talk a little bit about some news
Speaker 1: and notes that are around, um, you know, major League
Speaker 1: Baseball that I didn't get to yesterday. Listen, Johnny Quato,
Speaker 1: he went three innings in a rehab stint at Triple
Speaker 1: A Sacramento. He may be on the path back. Go
Speaker 1: check to see if you can get him in your
Speaker 1: league for the stretch run Red Sox outfield that Jackie
Speaker 1: Bradley Jr. Is going to the d L. He has
Speaker 1: that thumb issue he slid into home on Tuesday night
Speaker 1: and he going straight to the d L. Indian second
Speaker 1: baseman Jason Kipness Is also on the d L now
Speaker 1: he reaggravated that hamstring. Remember a lot of hamstring injuries
Speaker 1: this year, and Kipnes is going back to the d
Speaker 1: L for the second time with that issue. Cardinals closer
Speaker 1: Trevor Rosenthal is going to have Tommy John surgery, effectively
Speaker 1: not only ending this season, but likely all of next
Speaker 1: year as well. That means probably Singing Oh, also known
Speaker 1: as the Final Boss, is probably gonna be back in
Speaker 1: that closure role. But it's an opportunity to keep an
Speaker 1: eye to see who gets the next save. For St. Louis.
Speaker 1: You could get some more saves going down the stretch there.
Speaker 1: If you need saves. Another person to potentially check out.
Speaker 1: He's urious Familiar. Familiar is going to be activated by
Speaker 1: the New York Mets tomorrow. I checked today. He is
Speaker 1: only owned in forty six percent of leagues. So right now,
Speaker 1: if you need some saves, remember the Mets traded away
Speaker 1: Addison read they've traded away a lot of people. Familiar
Speaker 1: might go right back into that closure roll only own
Speaker 1: check it out, right. And also Robinson Canoe left last
Speaker 1: night's game another hamstring injury. He was legging out a
Speaker 1: double as a as a Yankee fan, have former you
Speaker 1: know Robinson was a former Yankee. I didn't see him
Speaker 1: leg out many hits, to be quite honest, and this
Speaker 1: maybe why pulled his hamstring. He's listed as day to
Speaker 1: day right now. All right, here's what I wanna do.
Speaker 1: I definitely gonna be talking. We're gonna talk Connor Floyd
Speaker 1: a little bit later on Okay, I told you there's
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways I told you about the
Speaker 1: idea of par laying Floyd Mayweather with another big favorite.
Speaker 1: There are some very interesting prop bets that we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into a little bit later on in the show,
Speaker 1: but we gotta start with week three of the preseason.
Speaker 1: Here in the NFL, it kicks off tonight. Many people
Speaker 1: know Week three. They call it the dress rehearsal. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the week where most of your starters, the
Speaker 1: real guys, the guys you know, are going to be
Speaker 1: back at it. They're gonna be playing for almost more
Speaker 1: than a half. Okay, you might see the starters out
Speaker 1: there for more than a half. And we now know
Speaker 1: who the starters are in some situations. Okay. In Cleveland,
Speaker 1: it is going to be Deshaun Kaiser starting the third
Speaker 1: preseason game with the starters. That is a huge tell
Speaker 1: that maybe Huge Dacson is actually going to turn over
Speaker 1: the keys to the car to the young rookie. Had
Speaker 1: to notre dame Deshaun Kaiser, you know what. It was
Speaker 1: also interesting in their third preseason game, the Browns have
Speaker 1: said they are not going to play Brock Osweiler at all.
Speaker 1: It sounds to me like they're protecting him from any
Speaker 1: potential injury, be because he maybe on the trading block.
Speaker 1: Remember the Browns wanted to kind of flip brock Oswailder
Speaker 1: in an NBA style kind of trade. It didn't really
Speaker 1: happen right away, but maybe now with injuries and other things,
Speaker 1: maybe brock Oswailder could still be on the move. You
Speaker 1: know who else is gonna be starting the third preseason
Speaker 1: game for their team? The Jacksonville Jaguars will be starting
Speaker 1: Chad Henny a La Vodka. What did I say on
Speaker 1: the fantasy freestyle? I told you this was gonna happen,
Speaker 1: and here we go. I think this is now Chad
Speaker 1: Henny's job to lose. He as the starter for the
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars might be enough to bump up Alan
Speaker 1: Robinson up draft boards. We'll talk about that later on
Speaker 1: next week when we get into the wide receivers. Also, uh,
Speaker 1: did you know that Rob Gronkowski has apparently changed his
Speaker 1: diet to be a little bit more like Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: He's cut out coffee and alcohol. I don't know how
Speaker 1: long that's gonna last. I still think we're gonna see
Speaker 1: pictures of Gronk in the club at some point this fall.
Speaker 1: We'll see if he truly does cut back on alcohol.
Speaker 1: Giants are now backtracking a little bit on Oldell Beckham.
Speaker 1: He's having you know, like new age like blood spinning
Speaker 1: technology and injections into his ankle. They don't know if
Speaker 1: he is going to be ready for Week one against
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. You know who else is not playing
Speaker 1: this week? The running backs for the Seahawks, both c. J.
Speaker 1: Procis and Thomas Rawls are going to miss the third
Speaker 1: preseason game. I think this is a missed opportunity because
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey has not really impressed in his you know,
Speaker 1: limited work so far with the Seahawks. That offensive line
Speaker 1: is still bad. If either Process or Rawls was really
Speaker 1: healthy and showing up, showing out, they really had a
Speaker 1: great chance to hop Eddie Lacey on the depth chart. Okay, Also,
Speaker 1: um Mike gilles Ley, not the Fish, but the Patriots
Speaker 1: running back. He is back at practice. He was coming
Speaker 1: back from a hamstring injury. Matt Forte coming back from
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury as well, Time montgom Re returning to practice.
Speaker 1: So some these guys rounding into form. And it's important because,
Speaker 1: like I said, in Week three of the preseason, which
Speaker 1: kicks off tonight, the starters are gonna be playing a
Speaker 1: little bit more. You need to get that chemistry. So
Speaker 1: tonight we've got the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: on Miami side. Here's what I'm looking for, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at Jay Cutler and I'm looking at the chemistry
Speaker 1: with Devanta park We had a caller yesterday, Okay was
Speaker 1: asking me about Jarvis Landry and Devanta Parker, and I
Speaker 1: really said that Devanta Parker is the one to watch
Speaker 1: because Jay Cutler locks in on guys. He's already called
Speaker 1: Devanta Parker a faster version of al Shan Jeffrey. And
Speaker 1: I think his down the field style Jay Cutler I'm
Speaker 1: speaking about does not bode well for the PPR kind
Speaker 1: of target monster that Jarvis Landry used to be. Jarvis
Speaker 1: Landry has average over nineties six catches in his first
Speaker 1: three years. I think that number goes down. I think
Speaker 1: we see an uptick in production and opportunity for DeVante Parker,
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on that. On the Philly side
Speaker 1: of things, we've been hearing a lot of buzz about
Speaker 1: La Garrett Blunt and when the small wood right, how
Speaker 1: La Garrett Blunt maybe has weight issues. How La Garrett
Speaker 1: Blunt has not impressed how La Garrett blunt roster spot
Speaker 1: is in jeopardy. I want to see what happens now
Speaker 1: that when the small Wood is back and healthy, he's
Speaker 1: gonna get some burn, I believe tonight. I want to
Speaker 1: see how he looks. If he flashes, there could be
Speaker 1: more buzz around when the small Wood at the top
Speaker 1: of the running back depth chart for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to see, all right. And then
Speaker 1: the next game that's tonight is Carolina Panthers in the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars Chad Henny Ola Vodka. That's what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about and what this game is also in Jacksonville, So
Speaker 1: I think it will be very interesting to see what
Speaker 1: the home crowd does as a reaction when they see
Speaker 1: Henny walk out, you know, like with the first teamers
Speaker 1: in that first huddle after the kickoff or whatever it is. Right,
Speaker 1: If that crowd is in full on support of Chad Henny,
Speaker 1: it will be a hard road for Blake Wortles to
Speaker 1: get back in the good graces of the fans and
Speaker 1: of the organization on the Carolina side of things. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Camy Newton. They're saying Cam Newton is
Speaker 1: going to play in this game. This is the first
Speaker 1: time we'll see him in real action with that shoulder,
Speaker 1: you know, after that shoulder surgery. I want to see
Speaker 1: how he looks. Remember Andrew luck still ain't throwing or
Speaker 1: still at playing, still a practicing, and there's not only
Speaker 1: like six practices left for them before they go to
Speaker 1: Los Angeles in week one to take on the Rams.
Speaker 1: So I want to see how Cam is doing right now. Tomorrow. Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: you got the Kansas City Seattle game. I told you
Speaker 1: I was interested in that running back room in Seattle,
Speaker 1: but with both Proceis and Thomas Rawls out, I'm not
Speaker 1: you know, you're not gonna learn as much. But on
Speaker 1: the Kansas City side of that game, you also have
Speaker 1: a running back battle. Okay, we're talking about We're talking
Speaker 1: about Spencer Ware and my guy, the third round draft pick,
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. He has got him a lot of buzz.
Speaker 1: I want to see in this third preseason game, who
Speaker 1: is playing with the starters, with that starting offensive line,
Speaker 1: how Hunt looks against the starting defense of the Seattle Seahawks, which,
Speaker 1: as we know, is no you know, is no slouch.
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook looks good against him last week. Could a
Speaker 1: guy like Kareem Hunt do the same as well. The
Speaker 1: other game tomorrow is New England Patriots against the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: For New England, there's really nothing to learn. We know
Speaker 1: everything we need about New England and even seeing how
Speaker 1: the running back split happens is not gonna matter for
Speaker 1: next week in Detroit. The one thing is this kid
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, Well, the real Kenny Golladay, please stand up.
Speaker 1: Is the kid who wentn't crazy and week one or
Speaker 1: the guy had one catch in week two? Those are
Speaker 1: some of the things I'm looking for. When we come back,
Speaker 1: We're gonna sharpen our focus and look at PPR running
Speaker 1: backs and we're gonna see who could be the biggest
Speaker 1: boon to you in that format. Okay, it's Dave Martinez, Speeds,
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician, dropping stats over beats right here on

Speaker 1: good care if you want. If you want to holler
Speaker 1: at me this hour you can at eight four four,
Speaker 1: eight four, three six, eight seven nine. We've already had
Speaker 1: some feedback about how to name the fish. Could it
Speaker 1: be Julian edel Finn? And we also got a great
Speaker 1: poll question up. We're asking you, guys, who do you
Speaker 1: think is gonna be like the most pleasant surprise among
Speaker 1: potential PPR style backs. Okay, Now, if you're listening to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, you probably know this, but
Speaker 1: I gotta educate you. Okay. The first thing in any
Speaker 1: fantasy league that you're in is to know your settings.
Speaker 1: And in fantasy football, one of the most important things
Speaker 1: to know is is it a PPR league or not?
Speaker 1: That is points per reception. We are now in a
Speaker 1: day and age in the NFL history that is so
Speaker 1: much of a passing league. Okay. The offenses have gone
Speaker 1: away from the ground and pound that used to be
Speaker 1: the case, and there are now air raid offenses all
Speaker 1: over the place. A lot of people are throwing the ball,
Speaker 1: and that means that running backs are getting more receptions.
Speaker 1: We saw guys like Danny Wood have We saw theo
Speaker 1: Ritic have eight catches. A couple of years ago. We
Speaker 1: saw Levan Bell who now has like almost as a
Speaker 1: stated goal to think if he can catch a hundred balls,
Speaker 1: if he can get a thousand yards of sleeving and
Speaker 1: a thousand yards rushing. There are some backs in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you know who are plugging and plodding along and they
Speaker 1: don't catch the ball ever. Okay, those are the guys.
Speaker 1: They're gonna help you in standard leagues. But guys that
Speaker 1: catch a lot of balls or a real value in
Speaker 1: PPR settings. And if you're just looking at you know
Speaker 1: someone's an article or right kings, you may not know
Speaker 1: the difference. Okay, So I'm gonna highlight some PPR backs
Speaker 1: that I think are very important and in PPR settings
Speaker 1: are going much should be going much higher than where
Speaker 1: they currently are. Earlier in the week, I give you
Speaker 1: my my running back diamonds in the rough. Those are
Speaker 1: guys like Dalvin Cook. I told you how much I
Speaker 1: love Jamal Williams. I told you how much I love
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls, even though he will not be in the
Speaker 1: game this weekend for the Seattle Seahawks. Another guy told
Speaker 1: you about who was a diamond in the rough for
Speaker 1: me is Shane Vereen, and I want to bring him
Speaker 1: up again to kick off our PPR back discussion. He's
Speaker 1: going as running back seventy. This is two D and
Speaker 1: thirty overall. This is a guy who has average fifty
Speaker 1: catches in the last three years with the Giants and
Speaker 1: before that with the New England Patriots. You know, guys
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady and Eli Manning love the past catching
Speaker 1: potential of a back like Shane Vereen and Shane Vereen.
Speaker 1: Also listen, if you don't believe a guy like Paul
Speaker 1: Perkins or a guy like Orleans dark Waw can really
Speaker 1: take that Giant's running back job, they trust Shane Vereen
Speaker 1: in between the tackles as well. Okay, Shane Vereen is
Speaker 1: a guy who can not only be beast in PPR,
Speaker 1: but they may turn to especially if those young kids
Speaker 1: can't tote the rock for the Giants. So Shane Vereen
Speaker 1: is definitely one. I told you you know about Danny Woodhead. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know about guys like Theo Rick, but how about
Speaker 1: Bala pal Boom boom bilal pal pal Listen, the Jets
Speaker 1: offense is going to be atrocious. They're going to be
Speaker 1: losing games. They're gonna need to throw the ball, but
Speaker 1: they're gonna have either Josh McCown or Christian Hackenburg under sentensor.
Speaker 1: You know what that means. That means a lot of
Speaker 1: checkdowns and a lot of short yards per target. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna go down the field. Also, the wide
Speaker 1: receiving corps for the New York Jets is nothing to
Speaker 1: write home about. Okay, they have been eviscerated by free agency,
Speaker 1: team beef and injury. You got Robby Anderson is literally
Speaker 1: the number one receiver. That means I think Bilal Powell
Speaker 1: could challenge to lead the team in targets. Okay, blow
Speaker 1: Powell is someone in PPR leagues you need to go
Speaker 1: out and ge get the game flow will help with
Speaker 1: the Jets down and they really have no other targets.
Speaker 1: How about Duke Johnson? How about Duke Johnson in Cleveland?
Speaker 1: This is a guy who you know, Isaiah Crowell is
Speaker 1: going to be the early down back, the true running
Speaker 1: back behind that offensive line. I like crow Well as well,
Speaker 1: trust me, I like crow Well. It's a high end
Speaker 1: RB two, maybe even a back end RB one depending
Speaker 1: on the size of your league. Behind which should be
Speaker 1: an improved offensive line. But Duke Johnson is going right
Speaker 1: now at running back thirty four, and I think listen,
Speaker 1: if it's a PPR league, you need to get him
Speaker 1: earlier than that. He'll catch four or five balls a game.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good bet to have about fifty catches.
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Duke Johnson, another team that is
Speaker 1: probably with the game flow, going to be down in
Speaker 1: the second half of games and half to shift to
Speaker 1: more of their two minute offense. There's no huddle offense,
Speaker 1: they're passing offense. Duke Johnson might be on the field
Speaker 1: a ton for the Cleveland Browns. Another guy I'll tell
Speaker 1: you in New England, the pass catching backs. But the
Speaker 1: thing is you don't know week to week what the
Speaker 1: game plan is going to be. For the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: If you want to go PPR style back in New England,
Speaker 1: I think the guy to go with is James White.
Speaker 1: He's going at running back thirty seven. Could also be
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis out there. Remember the Patriots are so deep
Speaker 1: they have four running backs where they can kind of
Speaker 1: use in different situations. But I think the pass catching
Speaker 1: back will be James White in New England. You got
Speaker 1: guys like Darren Sprowles in Philadelphia. Now, remember day've got
Speaker 1: Legarrett Blunt or maybe even it's even gonna be small
Speaker 1: with that's gonna be the inside the tackles guy. Darren Sprawls,
Speaker 1: even in his career, like his last year of his career,
Speaker 1: is going to be effective. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: can take it to the house. And they love the
Speaker 1: safety of Darren Sproules. For Carson wentz down there in Philly.
Speaker 1: There's other guys we mentioned Giovanni Bernard in Cincinnati, Jeremy
Speaker 1: Hill wasn't able to do it. Joe Mixing. Is he
Speaker 1: gonna be a true three down back right away in
Speaker 1: his rookie year? I don't think so. I think there's
Speaker 1: still opportunity for Giovanni Bernard. Okay, in Washington, Washington is
Speaker 1: a team. I think the bottom is gonna fall out.
Speaker 1: I think Washington is staring a five and eleven season
Speaker 1: in the face. Washington lost both of their wide receivers
Speaker 1: and Sean Jackson and Pierre Garson. Yeah, they brought into
Speaker 1: El Prior, but Kirk Cousins throws the ball all the time.
Speaker 1: That Offenson is a passing offense. I think Washington will
Speaker 1: be behind. I don't trust fat Rob Kelly in those situations.
Speaker 1: You know who's gonna be on the field. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be Chris Thompson for the Washington football team. Chris Thompson
Speaker 1: is going at running back fifty four. Okay, you can
Speaker 1: get him very late in drafts. Okay, I'm talking twelve
Speaker 1: round and if you can do that, Chris Thompson can
Speaker 1: be a PPR weapon for you. There's other guys like
Speaker 1: Charles Simms in Tampa Bay, same kind of context. You
Speaker 1: know that one are the things they're trying to do.
Speaker 1: A j Amos Winston has helped him control his aggression
Speaker 1: not go down the field as much. That could mean
Speaker 1: more checked down opportunities for Charles Sims in the passing game.
Speaker 1: The last guy I'll give you is the guy who
Speaker 1: led among running backs the Oakland Raiders in targets last year,
Speaker 1: and that's Jalen Richard. They now have Marshawn Lynch in there,
Speaker 1: but remember Marshawn Lynch didn't play at all last year.
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is not going to be on the field
Speaker 1: all the time. The pass catching back for the Oakland
Speaker 1: Raiders is Jalen Richard. He's going at RB six the
Speaker 1: five right now. I think in PPR settings, he could
Speaker 1: be worth a look, all right. I put up a
Speaker 1: pole question about this the options I had up with
Speaker 1: Shane Vereen, Giovanni Bernard and Charles Sims, because I thought
Speaker 1: outside of you know, like your woodheads and your theo ritics,
Speaker 1: that these would be well known guys. And right nowt
Speaker 1: of you agree with me, but that Shane Vereen could
Speaker 1: be the most what I called pleasant surprise in PPR format.
Speaker 1: And that's because I'm fading Paul Perkins, I'm fading Orleans darkwa.
Speaker 1: Thirty percent of you agree with me that Shane Vereen
Speaker 1: could be the most pleasant surprise in this format, say
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard, a Charles Sims. But two percent say other.
Speaker 1: So I want to see who some of the responses are. Okay,
Speaker 1: big shout out to Ross Watson on Twitter at Birdman
Speaker 1: Underscore Golf. They say, Duke Johnson. I agree with that,
Speaker 1: And the reason I agree with that also is because
Speaker 1: Cleveland's going to be down. Cleveland has a young quarterback
Speaker 1: that equals checked downs to the back. I like that option.
Speaker 1: I mentioned it before. Zack Davis at Zack Mamba six
Speaker 1: eight on Twitter says c J Procise. Now that is
Speaker 1: interesting as well. The thing is c J. Procise, they
Speaker 1: fear is very in bridgey prone. He's got a groin injury. Now.
Speaker 1: We talked about him being held out and I I
Speaker 1: think that c J. Procise is one of those guys
Speaker 1: who will never be fully healthy. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a risk on him, but he
Speaker 1: does fit the profile. Did that at Notre Dame, did
Speaker 1: it for a little bit with Seattle. C J. Prosis
Speaker 1: is another PPR back to consider. Danster Damn on Twitter
Speaker 1: at dabber Dan Litt, he says, my guy Chris Thompson.
Speaker 1: I agree, Chris Thompson is someone that is a PPR option.
Speaker 1: I think Washington is going to be down and Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins is going to throw. We also got Clayton Treyhan
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Claymore's ff B Duke Johnson. They say,
Speaker 1: I agree, we talked about Duke Johnson. The reply goes
Speaker 1: he and Powell, who's admittedly a little bit more high,
Speaker 1: could potentially lead their teams in targets. Listen if the Jets,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you who else is gonna be? Austin Safarian Jenkins,
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson. I think that's a decent call by Clayton
Speaker 1: out there on Twitter. As far as Duke Johnson, I
Speaker 1: don't think he'll lead the Browns in targets. I think
Speaker 1: that will probably go to Kenny Britt out there, And
Speaker 1: Kenny Britt is also another sleep. We're gonna get to
Speaker 1: wide receivers next week. I think Kenny Britt will lead
Speaker 1: that team in targets, but Duke Johnson could be second
Speaker 1: or third on that team. All right, So, um, we
Speaker 1: got a we got a caller though, do we still
Speaker 1: have that caller? Alright? So what you got? We got
Speaker 1: Shaun and Austin's got a question about PPR? What do
Speaker 1: you got? Hey? How are you doing? What's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: How you feeling? Not? Bet? Not? Bet? So? Yeah? I'm
Speaker 1: in a twelve man PPR squad here a league, and
Speaker 1: just on my draft last night, I picked up the
Speaker 1: following PPR running backs. I got Christian McCaffrey, Keevin Coleman,
Speaker 1: Denny Woodhead, A Mirab Doula, and Doug Martin. I just
Speaker 1: want to know your perspective, see if I need to
Speaker 1: I needed some trades or sure. I like I like
Speaker 1: you mentioned Christian McCaffrey. I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: PPR beast as well. You know, the Carolina Panthers are
Speaker 1: changing their offensive scheme, and part of the reason they
Speaker 1: did that is because of Christian McCaffrey. They also doubled
Speaker 1: down and got Curtis Samuel in second round. The Panthers
Speaker 1: they're gonna use Christian McCaffrey as a kind of Swiss
Speaker 1: army knife. The only concern I have with him is
Speaker 1: he might be a better real light football player than
Speaker 1: fantasy football player. But I love the Christian McCaffrey. A
Speaker 1: mirab Dula is interesting because the past catching back there
Speaker 1: is really theoretic, and a mirab Dula has never really
Speaker 1: been healthy for any long stretch of time. I would
Speaker 1: worry a little bit about a Mirrabdulah because of the
Speaker 1: overall injury risk you mentioned Danny Woodhead. Danny Woodhead, if
Speaker 1: he is healthy, is going to be a beast. So
Speaker 1: I think you're all right there, Sean and Austin. I
Speaker 1: like your PPR running backs. If you have any questions
Speaker 1: throughout the season, feel free to chime on back in
Speaker 1: and we'll help you out based on the waiver wire
Speaker 1: or things like that. But I think you're good, especially
Speaker 1: in a PPR league to start off. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. It
Speaker 1: should boy, Dame Martinez pez of spitting statistician. How to
Speaker 1: win some money on Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go get on
Speaker 1: Lord to the fastest grilling fantasy sports radio network in
Speaker 1: the business, featuring the f s t A award winning
Speaker 1: up on Target Fantasy. The Fantasy Sports Radio Network is
Speaker 1: the rookie of the Year in the industry and it's
Speaker 1: only growing fantasy sports radio networks at fts y dot
Speaker 1: com slash Radio you a welcome back to the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm
Speaker 1: your boy, Dane Martinez speeds and spitting statistician holding you
Speaker 1: down on a Thursday with mom Man Chris Bocona, the
Speaker 1: Bounty Hunter. Hey, um, Chris, let me ask you something.
Speaker 1: We were talking about PPR running backs and how in
Speaker 1: that format there are certain pass catching backs out there
Speaker 1: that are much more valuable. I gave him about ten
Speaker 1: or twelve different options to help you win your league. Chris,
Speaker 1: you got any others you want to throw out there,
Speaker 1: or any that you specifically like in PPR formats. It's
Speaker 1: funny Chris and I are sitting here talking to each
Speaker 1: other and we both really actually do like a Mierabdulah,
Speaker 1: even though you know you said he's injury prone, but
Speaker 1: for some reason, we just have this good feeling about
Speaker 1: that duela this this year that he could get a
Speaker 1: little bit more in the PPR format. And I think
Speaker 1: Chris is actually gonna say something to you in a
Speaker 1: little bit here. Alright, alright, But there's the thing with
Speaker 1: in that situation. My my issue is really the theoretic.
Speaker 1: You know, theoretic has been in that role for so long.
Speaker 1: Theoretic is that guy who's gonna get Now you think
Speaker 1: Amer Abdulah will just play the same role, you know,
Speaker 1: Jim Bob Cooterer in that offense, Matthew Stafford. They will
Speaker 1: throw the ball. But I don't know if there's ever
Speaker 1: been a team that has like not one, but two
Speaker 1: PPR backs that both get over like fifty catches. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Chris, what do you think? Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's rare, of course, um But I mean I
Speaker 1: watched a mirab Dula play and theoretic last year had
Speaker 1: to come in and be the featured back. When Abdullah
Speaker 1: got hurt, he obviously couldn't handle that role. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's that type of back. He's a third down back.
Speaker 1: I would say, right, fair enough, but but he doesn't
Speaker 1: think for you trust Abdulla to stay healthy. I do,
Speaker 1: because honestly, I know a lot of people say he
Speaker 1: gets hurt, and he got hurt all last year, but
Speaker 1: he was hurt from one injury the entire year. UH
Speaker 1: his rookie season, he was in all sixteen games. He
Speaker 1: was just behind Joyke Bell on the depth chart, so
Speaker 1: he didn't really get an opportunity to play as much.
Speaker 1: I think we're it's a little bit being able played
Speaker 1: a little bit with the injury risk on him. I'd
Speaker 1: give him one more shot and draft in the six, seven,
Speaker 1: eighth round if I can, and he has the talent,
Speaker 1: and that's where it is. I think it's very high opposite. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember him in Nebraska, Listen, he looked like a
Speaker 1: beast and coming out coming out of the draft, a
Speaker 1: lot of people were high on the mirror Abdullah. If
Speaker 1: you want to know the truth of funny thing, last
Speaker 1: year the the Arizona Cardinals, they were on that show
Speaker 1: All or Nothing. I think it's on like uh, you know,
Speaker 1: like Amazon streaming whatever it is. And they said, you know,
Speaker 1: they had Cabins, they're a draft day. They wanted this
Speaker 1: being the Arizona Cardinals, they wanted a mirror Abdullah. They
Speaker 1: thought his skill like, I agree with you, Chris, everyone
Speaker 1: like really loved him coming out or member him in Nebraska.
Speaker 1: The Lions then drafted Mero Abdullah. And you know who
Speaker 1: the Cardinals wound up with in the next round, Chris,
Speaker 1: do you know who they quote unquote settled on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's David Johnson. So I think that worked out. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, but um, yeah, it's possible for Meabdula. Listen, guys,
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna be doing. Here's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: be doing for the next couple of weeks. As you

Speaker 1: drafts right here at Studio thirty four and Rock and
Speaker 1: Riley's over the last couple of weeks. And you could
Speaker 1: always follow me at spitting speeds and ask me any
Speaker 1: questions you want. Big shout out to the people who
Speaker 1: have been doing that so far. You could also answer
Speaker 1: the poll question that we have up right now about
Speaker 1: which PPR back you think will be the most pleasant surprise.
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it moving because you know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do right now, I'm gonna help you win
Speaker 1: some money. I'm gonna help you win some money right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: This Conor McGregor Floyd Mayweather fight that is going on
Speaker 1: this Saturday in Vegas is nothing more than a money
Speaker 1: making opportunity. It's been a money making opportunity for Floyd
Speaker 1: Mayweather because he's got to pay his taxes. It's been
Speaker 1: a money making opportunity for condom Or Gregor, who's gonna
Speaker 1: make a hundred million dollars on this fight. And as
Speaker 1: recently as two thousand thirteen, he was a janitor, still
Speaker 1: picking up welfare checks literally, And this could be a
Speaker 1: money making opportunity for you. I have been telling you
Speaker 1: all week long. You need to empty out the four
Speaker 1: oh one k. You need to use your rent money,
Speaker 1: and you need to put it on Floyd Mayweather. He
Speaker 1: is now all the way down to minus four hundred
Speaker 1: or minus four fifty, depending on your shop. You need
Speaker 1: to bet that there is no way that Connor Gregor
Speaker 1: is going to win this fight. And here's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: style makes fight, Okay, and that's something that we talked
Speaker 1: about in boxing, that style makes fight. Floyd Mayweather is
Speaker 1: not a knockout puncher. Floyd Mayweather is a counterpuncher. Floyd
Speaker 1: Mayweather is a defensive fighter. Floyd Maywear there is a businessman.
Speaker 1: He is not going to put himself in the position
Speaker 1: where one straight right from Connor McGregor can do any
Speaker 1: damage or put him at any risk. He is going
Speaker 1: to out box Connor McGregor. He is going to put
Speaker 1: on a clinic on Saturday night or here on the
Speaker 1: East Coast, it might be Sunday morning, because this flight
Speaker 1: is not gonna happen until eleven thirty midnight on the
Speaker 1: East Coast. But here's the deal. Floyd doesn't knock anybody out.
Speaker 1: So right now, you can get Floyd to win and
Speaker 1: at like minus four hundred, and I still say that's
Speaker 1: the safest bet. Put all your money on it. Like
Speaker 1: I said, empty the rowth, I ra a whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But you can get Floyd to win by decision at
Speaker 1: plus to fifty, and I think that is a very
Speaker 1: juicy opportunity because Floyd doesn't really knock people out. Here's
Speaker 1: my one concern about that being my luck for the fight,
Speaker 1: Floyd by decision. I even think you can get Floyd
Speaker 1: by unanimous decision because there's not gonna be any you know,
Speaker 1: split cards on this fight. Okay, Floyd by decision I
Speaker 1: believe is the way to go. Here's the only issue.
Speaker 1: And if you watch you know MM A UFC, you
Speaker 1: know this. Connor McGregor does not have uh stamina. Connor
Speaker 1: McGregor gets gassed in rounds four and five of UFC fights. Okay,
Speaker 1: that fight that they had against Nate Diaz. He won
Speaker 1: the first three rounds and then he just hanged on
Speaker 1: in rounds four and five and kind of got through
Speaker 1: it to win that decision. Connor McGregor does not have
Speaker 1: the stamina. He gets gassed in his cardio. UFC is
Speaker 1: five five minute rounds. I'm gonna do some quick math
Speaker 1: for you. That's twenty five minutes. Boxing is twelve three
Speaker 1: minute rounds. That's thirty six minutes. For Connor to last
Speaker 1: the entire fight and for it to go to the cards,
Speaker 1: it's going to be another eleven minutes, like another kind
Speaker 1: of thirty percent. Then he would ever have to last
Speaker 1: in the octagon. My only feed here about the Floyd
Speaker 1: Mayweather by decision bet and I still think it's a
Speaker 1: good one, is what if Connor gets so gassed that
Speaker 1: even Floyd Mayweather, can you know, knock him out in
Speaker 1: a kind of technical knockout way where the ref comes
Speaker 1: in and stops the fight because Connor has nothing left.
Speaker 1: I think that is a possibility. That's the only reason
Speaker 1: I would say to go away from the Floyd by decision.
Speaker 1: But I'll bet it all. I'll bet Floyd to win.
Speaker 1: I'll bet Floyd by decision. You can get got some
Speaker 1: specific rounds. Also, if you think you want to be
Speaker 1: real cute, I say, don't do that. I also told
Speaker 1: you yesterday that what I would do is I would
Speaker 1: find the biggest favorite on the board tonight against the
Speaker 1: Cardinals and Carlos Martinez at like minus two twenty, and
Speaker 1: I take that in a two event parlay with Floyd
Speaker 1: Mayweather on Saturday. Okay, I would see who the biggest
Speaker 1: favorite on the board is in Major League Baseball tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the Lost Angelist Dodgers, and I would take them,
Speaker 1: and I would par lay it with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I would look because college football starts this weekend, and
Speaker 1: in college football early on you have some real David
Speaker 1: and Goliath kind of matchups. I'd find one. I'd bet
Speaker 1: a heavy favorite, some actual team going against the small
Speaker 1: directional kind of school. I take them and I'd par
Speaker 1: lay it with Floyd money Mayweather. That is the way
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, there's also some interesting ones. You can
Speaker 1: get things like how many punches will Connor McGregor land.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. If their props bets
Speaker 1: about how many punches someone's gonna land, you know they're
Speaker 1: not a good bet to win the fight. Come on, people, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think there's some late money that's gonna come. I
Speaker 1: think there's still people out there that are waiting for
Speaker 1: the best price. They count on Floyd and then they're
Speaker 1: gonna drop half a million dollars on Floyd Mayweather. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you empty out the four oh one k. You
Speaker 1: know what's interesting? Um there is a prop bet of
Speaker 1: will there be a rematch? And that's another thing I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about. I'm a little bit worried
Speaker 1: about that angle. These are ads, our businessman. What if
Speaker 1: there's some kind of weird thing that happens. I kind
Speaker 1: of feel like something weird could still happen, like a disqualification,
Speaker 1: like a draw, something to just set up a rematch.
Speaker 1: So keep an eye out on that. Do I ultimately
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. No, I don't think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a rematch. I think Floyd rides out into the
Speaker 1: sunset going fifty and oh after this fight, But keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that. You never know. And one thing
Speaker 1: I do want to say before we go to the
Speaker 1: next break, there is a prop bet will Floyd win
Speaker 1: all thirty six rounds, like will it be one two,
Speaker 1: one oh eight on all three judges score cards. I've
Speaker 1: been saying that that's a viable possibility. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna backtrack a little bit on that, because Floyd Mayweather
Speaker 1: may be known to like, you know, he may be
Speaker 1: up so big that he like rests in around or
Speaker 1: kind of like rope Adope's Condomcgregor, and to try to
Speaker 1: like use up that stamina and really throw in one round.
Speaker 1: So I don't think he's gonna win all of the
Speaker 1: rounds anymore. I think Floyd will will have such a
Speaker 1: big lead that he might give away round eight or nine,
Speaker 1: or he might give away round two because he wants,
Speaker 1: you know, Connor to get in there and really start
Speaker 1: to gas himself stuff out. And I do think that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You could also bet things like will Little
Speaker 1: Wayne wear a shirt in the walkout? Will Donald Trump
Speaker 1: tweet about the fight? You know, things like that. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, though everyone's gonna be disappointed. You're gonna see
Speaker 1: a clinic by Floyd Mayweather. You're gonna see a relatively
Speaker 1: boring fight, and you're gonna see Connor McGregor get gassed
Speaker 1: by round nine. But the way to do it, like
Speaker 1: I said, parlay a big favorite with Floyd Mayweather. And
Speaker 1: I also like that Floyd Mayweather by decision because he
Speaker 1: doesn't knock many people out. If Connor McGregor can stand
Speaker 1: and be you know, have the stammin of thirty six minutes,
Speaker 1: we're going to decision and it'll be Floyd Money Mayweather.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna tie a nice little bow.

Speaker 1: Right as we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, I
Speaker 1: also want to give a big shout out to our
Speaker 1: newest edition. Uh we got a few new editions to
Speaker 1: be quiet honest, right and we got a few new
Speaker 1: viewers because we are now on the Fantasy Sports YouTube stream.
Speaker 1: So I want to give a big shout out and
Speaker 1: thanks to our guy Chris Ventra as well. He's our
Speaker 1: new video producer joining Chris Bovona down there in the
Speaker 1: production room. We got Chris on audio, we got Chris
Speaker 1: on video. That was Chris Venture you heard there giving
Speaker 1: his takes on a mirror Abdullah, who he thinks could
Speaker 1: be uh could experience a healthy bounce back. We also,
Speaker 1: as you know, as another new addition, if you're watching
Speaker 1: us on YouTube streaming live, we've got we've got a
Speaker 1: pet over here. We gotta fish here in the studio
Speaker 1: thirty four. We're talking about how to maybe name this
Speaker 1: fish with the guys like Mike Gillies, Lei ted Finn Jr.
Speaker 1: Someone on the YouTube stream earlier suggested Julian edel Finn.
Speaker 1: And my guy Howie Balaband, you know him. He was
Speaker 1: on the show. He's been responding to all those greatest
Speaker 1: sports movie of All Time polls. He says, look here
Speaker 1: we found someone he went way back digging into Crates,
Speaker 1: guy in the diet the Tigers and the Dodgers back
Speaker 1: in the thirties named he was named Art Herring, and
Speaker 1: he's apparently had a nickname of Red Herring. That could
Speaker 1: be interesting because we hope that our guy right here,
Speaker 1: we hope that he lives through the weekend. We also
Speaker 1: hope Connor McGregor lives through the weekend. We were breaking
Speaker 1: out all the opportunities there so um, listen. We got
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on. We got Week three
Speaker 1: of the preseason going on as well. You know, I
Speaker 1: think Chad Henny is gonna grip this job over down
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, as uh as Blake Bordles kind of his
Speaker 1: his days as a starter in the NFL, I think
Speaker 1: are done tomorrow. On the Fantasy Freestyle, what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do is we are going to keep our running back
Speaker 1: conversation going, but we're gonna move over and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the running back full gazes. Okay, We've been
Speaker 1: talking all week about guys that I like, whether it
Speaker 1: being standard or PPR formats, we gotta give you the
Speaker 1: flip side. Okay, there's a couple of running backs that
Speaker 1: are out there that I think are gonna completely underperform
Speaker 1: their value or there's some hot rookies behind them that
Speaker 1: are gonna really push them. We're gonna give you those
Speaker 1: guys tomorrow. Because I know a lot of people have
Speaker 1: their fantasy football drafts happening this weekend, coinciding with Week
Speaker 1: three of the preseason. The buzz is palpable, and that's
Speaker 1: why we got more people hopefully listening on tune in
Speaker 1: Radio on I Heart Radio on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. And now you
Speaker 1: can see Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: YouTube Live. So we're really excited about that. Last thing
Speaker 1: I want to do is I want to check in
Speaker 1: on the poll one more time that we did today
Speaker 1: talking about the PPR backs. Okay, the PPR Backs. Right now,
Speaker 1: thirty six percent of you agree with me that Shane
Speaker 1: Vereen is going to be a big time surprise. Okay.
Speaker 1: And then uh oh, we have a new nominee for
Speaker 1: our fish. We're gonna close out. I told you. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. This guy, this guy Chris Ventra,
Speaker 1: our newest producer over there on the video side. He's
Speaker 1: got a nomination for our fish. What about cat Fish Hunter? Uh,
Speaker 1: former relief stud for the A's and the Yankees. I
Speaker 1: like that one. I like that one. Hey, Chris, you're

Speaker 1: of Connor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather. I give you my running
Speaker 1: back Gazy. We also react, will it be Chad Henny?
Speaker 1: Will it be Blake? Bortles will probably have news on
Speaker 1: that as well, and I'll be here to bring it
Speaker 1: to you live on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Come on back tomorrow, Big Show.
