Speaker 1: to Spitting Statistician a k a. The Stable Genius and
Speaker 1: vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network, on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network, episode number four hundred and eight,
Speaker 1: the four hundred and eighth convening of my crew two
Speaker 1: Stats Overbeat Cipher, where what we do is help you
Speaker 1: win your leagues and win that cash. We put the
Speaker 1: fun and functional sports content at the same time, we
Speaker 1: got a good show for you. Okay, we gotta look
Speaker 1: back at week six, all right, I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: what we got right, what we got wrong, how you
Speaker 1: can spin it forward to win a little bit more
Speaker 1: cash and get a w Next week we will look
Speaker 1: at the waiver wire in fantasy football. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: for each position, which guys I like that are diamonds
Speaker 1: on the rough and which ones are foul gazes. As
Speaker 1: you know, those are the ones you need to forget about.
Speaker 1: We will also take your calls a little bit later
Speaker 1: on in the show, Okay, in the third segment if
Speaker 1: we can. The number to call will be eight four
Speaker 1: four eight four three six eight seven nine. Will break
Speaker 1: down Monday Night football. We got Packers Lions. I have
Speaker 1: some prop bets that I'm intrigued by, especially given to
Speaker 1: Green Bay run defense and what my boy has been
Speaker 1: doing watching the ball over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: My boy has more carries than everybody in the NFL
Speaker 1: except for Christian McCaffrey against that run defense. But we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit later on. What I
Speaker 1: want to talk about first, though, is I want to
Speaker 1: let you all know about the injuries that took place,
Speaker 1: because that is the context you need for things like
Speaker 1: the waiver wires. Okay, so we move forward, moving on
Speaker 1: in fantasy football, will dis Lee, I think is the
Speaker 1: big one from yesterday, and it's a shame too. People
Speaker 1: are starting to really view him as a complete tight
Speaker 1: end one, a week to week starter. He goes down
Speaker 1: with an achilles again, it looks like he will be
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the year. Amari Cooper with
Speaker 1: that quad injury, missed most of the second half against
Speaker 1: the Jets, and it looked different for the Cowboys. They're
Speaker 1: saying he probably will not be ready for their next
Speaker 1: big time game in the nfcas against Philadelphia Eagles. Manny
Speaker 1: Sanders left that game in Denver against Tennessee with a
Speaker 1: knee injury. They're saying it's not that serious. We'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye out on that. Same with Chris Thompson with
Speaker 1: a foot Marquis Lee with a foot injury as well.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal that it's only Monday. As you know,
Speaker 1: I do my next show, Fantasy Freestyle on Thursday. We
Speaker 1: will tell you how the practice reports are trending in
Speaker 1: what direction, so you know if there's actually risk for
Speaker 1: you moving forward. Also, I gotta tell people I want
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to my man, the King
Speaker 1: Scott Angle. You know, he once told me that he's
Speaker 1: on so many fantasy teams that he doesn't even pay attention.
Speaker 1: He doesn't pay attention to who he's facing. He doesn't
Speaker 1: pay attention to if they blew up or not, because
Speaker 1: there's just so more and so many, and this year
Speaker 1: I've got like seven eight nine. I have lost track
Speaker 1: of them. And you know what, I'm realizing that it's
Speaker 1: not like I'm not giving a damn about them all,
Speaker 1: but I can't do the same kind of team by
Speaker 1: team management. Like I tell you all the time, it's
Speaker 1: not about finding players, it's about finding other teams that
Speaker 1: match with you for trade. It's hard to put in
Speaker 1: that kind of effort. I'm more just like picking up
Speaker 1: starters now for the fugazes that I drafted in certain places,
Speaker 1: and it's hard. I can't follow it all on Sunday
Speaker 1: like tonight. For example, there's one league where I need,
Speaker 1: you know, Marcus Valves Scantling. There's a league where I
Speaker 1: need Jimmy Graham. There's a need where I need There's
Speaker 1: a league where I need you know, the guy carry
Speaker 1: on right. Then there's other leagues where I'm facing those
Speaker 1: same guys. So it's really a problem. But Scott Angle
Speaker 1: taught me that that I don't pay attention until maybe
Speaker 1: going into Monday night, and that cannot be more for
Speaker 1: the truth and now for me, as we get along
Speaker 1: and we're getting into seeds. Week six gonna be week
Speaker 1: seven for me. It's a combination of like the entry
Speaker 1: fee my home league, you know, and now the ones
Speaker 1: where I'm doing better. Right, I'm gonna spend more time
Speaker 1: if it's a follar buying and I'm like five and one,
Speaker 1: you know, verse if it was a twenty dollar buy
Speaker 1: in and um, you know two and four. So I
Speaker 1: I hear you people, and it is tough to keep
Speaker 1: it all on the same vein or you know, kind
Speaker 1: of working through it all. But that's why you are
Speaker 1: here with the Fantasy Freestyle here on Mondays and on
Speaker 1: Thursdays on Sports Grade. Um, here's what I want to
Speaker 1: also talk about. Let's let's start with a big time
Speaker 1: takeaways for the overall week. Then in the next segment
Speaker 1: we'll talk about what speeds got right, what speeds got
Speaker 1: wrong as we flip it forward for the waivers and
Speaker 1: things like that. I gotta tell you something, honestly. The
Speaker 1: first thing I'm gonna tell you guys is Patty Mahomes
Speaker 1: is compromised. All right. That's the biggest takeaway from me
Speaker 1: because we're talking about the damn Kansas City Chiefs, a
Speaker 1: team that a lot of people think are a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. That ankle is not okay, and it matters. Okay,
Speaker 1: listen for fantasy Patty Mahomes look fine. Two hundred seventy
Speaker 1: three yards, three touchdowns, only one pick. But the difference
Speaker 1: is in the way defenses have to play Kansas City
Speaker 1: and respect what Pat Mahomes can do. You saw for
Speaker 1: the last year and a half him doing these crazy rollouts,
Speaker 1: extending plays. That's not happening much anymore. That hasn't been
Speaker 1: happening in the last couple of weeks, certainly in the
Speaker 1: last two Chiefs losses. Right, Mahomes is fine, he just
Speaker 1: doesn't have that extra dimension that scares the living. But
Speaker 1: Jesus out of defense of coordinators, and I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: when this defense can't stop the run, carlos I did
Speaker 1: it again what Marlon Mack did to last week. Carlos
Speaker 1: I did to them, keeping Mahomes off the field and
Speaker 1: then knowing that he ain't gonna pull the crazy rabbit
Speaker 1: out of his hat. This is big. Next week they
Speaker 1: are now the road team on Thursday Night Football, and
Speaker 1: it's an issue with that defense. I don't know, Maybe
Speaker 1: Patty should take a week off. They got a week
Speaker 1: twelve by It's gonna be a long time until there.
Speaker 1: That is my biggest takeaway from week one. Patty Mahomes
Speaker 1: is gonna be fine, but Patty Mahomes and the scrambling
Speaker 1: is less intimidating than it used to be. I got
Speaker 1: another takeaway for another team that's less intimidating. But I
Speaker 1: was on at Jilly Dilley break out the notes. It's
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. You heard, come on back? Are you ready
Speaker 1: for the nation's first and only, free to the betting

Speaker 1: day here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports Grade.
Speaker 1: Get on the grid through Welcome back. You know what
Speaker 1: it is episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. We got some
Speaker 1: questions in the chat room from the status of each
Speaker 1: side from my man Mendo. First of all, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why I'm on three to four teams. No doubt.
Speaker 1: I got my home league team, you know. I got
Speaker 1: these industry leagues that I want to be a part of,
Speaker 1: you know, and then people invite me that school. I
Speaker 1: got a staff league. I got our league statue over beats.
Speaker 1: I gotta be in a league with my lady, you know,
Speaker 1: my fiance. There's a lot of leagues, bro, But it's
Speaker 1: all love. It's all love. I gotta do. I gotta
Speaker 1: do what I gotta do right strong style. Talking about
Speaker 1: Chris Carlos Hide. Carlos Hide is a guy I told
Speaker 1: you on the waiver wire a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again when we get there. He's
Speaker 1: seventy five percent owned. So usually I tell you guys
Speaker 1: that around fifty percent own things of that nature. But listen,
Speaker 1: one out of four of you can get Carlos Hide.
Speaker 1: The key for me is that he is a volume play,
Speaker 1: and especially in games where Houston is winning. Okay, in
Speaker 1: three of their last three of their four wins, Carlos
Speaker 1: Hide has twenty or more carries, and I think that
Speaker 1: will work. Okay, He is a volume play. It's not sexy,
Speaker 1: but I'll take it. And Mad Blah is asking me
Speaker 1: about audentate is he all weekly start from Cincinnati. I
Speaker 1: want no part of Cincinnati. As you guys know, I
Speaker 1: think they are blunt, guts trash. And what do we
Speaker 1: see Joe Mixon No, uh Boyd No, Tyler Boyd has
Speaker 1: fifty three targets. This is something I heard today, guys,
Speaker 1: And this is the only reason I'll talk about the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals right now. Boyd has fifty three targets, none
Speaker 1: of them in the end zone. And that is a
Speaker 1: that is a knock on this entire offense. And that's
Speaker 1: why the the entire offense being bad compromises everybody. That's
Speaker 1: why the offensive line compromises everybody. I say this all
Speaker 1: the time. That's why I teach you how to fish
Speaker 1: instead of randomly just answering the questions. But let's get
Speaker 1: at it. I told you about Kansas City and how
Speaker 1: the thread is a little different with Patty Mahomes compromised,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need to fix that because it seems
Speaker 1: like he gets rolled up every game. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe you give him a week off. I know that
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but I digress. The other one is the Rams.
Speaker 1: The Rams are compromised also you know I've been fading
Speaker 1: the Rams. Jilly Dilley will show you the notes. I
Speaker 1: said the Super Bowl hangover was real. I said there
Speaker 1: were other teams in that division I like better. I
Speaker 1: was on Seattle. You gotta consider San Francisco now as well.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, in the same way that the Mahomes
Speaker 1: Extra stank on it is that element of the Chief's offense.
Speaker 1: Girly is the element of the Rams offense. Now we
Speaker 1: know he's been compromised. He wasn't playing at all yesterday.
Speaker 1: But with him not being the same, and I said
Speaker 1: this earlier in the season, he is the lynchpin that
Speaker 1: makes that go. Outside of that teams are in essence
Speaker 1: able to force Jared Goff to beat them. And I've
Speaker 1: said it all year long. I said it when he
Speaker 1: signed that deal for a hundred and thirty million, that
Speaker 1: I don't know that he was worth it, and he
Speaker 1: wasn't bitching and moaning and complaining about I'm gonna hold out.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the Rams did this. You look
Speaker 1: at the Girly contract, you look at the golf contract,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's a good bang for
Speaker 1: your buck. He's got seventy eight yards now, Jared Goff
Speaker 1: is an okay quarterback. I've said it all the time.
Speaker 1: There are three kinds. One that raises all boats and
Speaker 1: make everyone else around them better. He ain't that he
Speaker 1: needs girly. He is not a Patty Mahomes or Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson or Aaron Rodgers. Okay, Jared Goff is not that
Speaker 1: Patty Mahomes compromised, maybe he still is. The next level.
Speaker 1: Are these quarterbacks that I say Dak Prescott is, Jared
Speaker 1: Goff is that Kirk Cousins is. They need the things
Speaker 1: around them, and then you got your blunt, guts trash people.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, something's up with the Rams.
Speaker 1: They gotta figure it out. And I mentioned that San
Speaker 1: Francisco is onecent legit. Now they have shut down sexy
Speaker 1: offensive teams in back to back weeks. The Browns on
Speaker 1: Monday Night last week, the Rams yesterday. You gotta start
Speaker 1: believing in this. And here's what the Niners on offense.
Speaker 1: I said it before. They are so multiple, they can
Speaker 1: do so many different things, just like the Falcons beforehand.
Speaker 1: If you're Bill Belichick, what you like to do is
Speaker 1: take away what the opposing team does best. What is
Speaker 1: that for San Francisco? Take away the one game, Jimmy
Speaker 1: g can still beat you with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I like what I'm seeing in San Francisco and what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say now, I've been fading the Rams. But
Speaker 1: if you're still on the Rams, there's a universe where
Speaker 1: three teams in the NFC West get into the playoffs. Okay,
Speaker 1: the NFC East, I think they beat each other up.
Speaker 1: The NFC South outside of Drew Brees, what are you
Speaker 1: and the Saints? What do you trust? And the North
Speaker 1: we'll see. Could it be a team like the Vikings
Speaker 1: up against the team like the Rams or the Packers
Speaker 1: looking for that final wild card? We shall see. Speaking
Speaker 1: of the Vikings, let's go to what Speed's got, right.
Speaker 1: I told you when I was doing DFS. I told
Speaker 1: you when I had Adam Feeling in it. I told
Speaker 1: you when it was against the Philadelphia Eagles, who were
Speaker 1: number one against the run and thirty one against the past.
Speaker 1: I said this Vikings pass offense would continue, and boy
Speaker 1: did it ever. Kirk Cousins three hundred three yards, four
Speaker 1: tuds and one interception. Feeling was just fine. Fifty seven
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, But can you digs it? He finally
Speaker 1: comes back a hundred sixties seven on three catches and
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Here's the thing, though, when you spin it forward,
Speaker 1: this is a different team at home, and this is
Speaker 1: a different team when they can have a matchup that
Speaker 1: they like against the past, they still want to run
Speaker 1: the ball. But against Philly the opportunity was just there.
Speaker 1: Against the Giants the week before, the opportunity was just there.
Speaker 1: Compare that, because for me it's still Kirk Cousins that
Speaker 1: I don't know that I trust. Compare that against a
Speaker 1: Seattle with Russell Wilson, who I do trust. They still
Speaker 1: want to run the ball, but in the right matchup
Speaker 1: or in the right game flow, they can throw the ball.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm seeing out of Minnesota. And I told
Speaker 1: you guys about that going into last week. Another one
Speaker 1: I told you going into last week. I said it
Speaker 1: in DFS, I said it in other ways. I said, oh, boy,
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna look a lot different now that
Speaker 1: they have a legitimate quarterback. I told you I was
Speaker 1: interested in Robby Anderson and Jamison Crowder in DFS. Boy
Speaker 1: did they look good? Jmo s Robby Anderson a hundred
Speaker 1: twenty five on five catches and a touchdown, Donald throwing
Speaker 1: for three hundred and thirty eight yards. I told you
Speaker 1: this would be a much different team. And here's the truth, guys.
Speaker 1: Of the three games that the Jets played with their
Speaker 1: third string quarterback, at New England was a loss anyway.
Speaker 1: At Philly was probably a loss anyway. The only one
Speaker 1: that hampers the Jets long term future to me was
Speaker 1: that Monday night football loss against Cleveland. That's a game
Speaker 1: I thought they could have, should have would have won
Speaker 1: with Sam Donald, but didn't with Simeon and then ultimately Falk.
Speaker 1: But it's really only a delta of one game, and
Speaker 1: everyone knew that the Jets early season was tough, and
Speaker 1: then it opens up. Okay, they got New England next
Speaker 1: Monday Night. I'll give him a loss on that one,
Speaker 1: all right. But then guys, Jacksonville, Miami, the Giants, Washington, Oakland, Cincinnati, Miami, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I mean there's some wins in there. I think there's
Speaker 1: another five or six wins. You add that to the
Speaker 1: one they have, that's seven wins, guys. That's exactly where
Speaker 1: Vegas was on their season win total. So let's not
Speaker 1: all get so crazy. It's amazing how the entire team
Speaker 1: looks different now that Sam iam is there. And I
Speaker 1: told you that would happen. I also said from the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season that the Tennessee Titans would at
Speaker 1: some point go to Ryan Tannehill. Listen, Marcus Mariota goes
Speaker 1: seven of eighteen for sixty three yards. Now. I know
Speaker 1: Denver is a good defense, but he was missing wide
Speaker 1: open people. I think Tannehill could be that game manager.
Speaker 1: I had that one. I also told you about that
Speaker 1: Atlanta Arizona over. I said it would be great for dfs,
Speaker 1: but these teams are not good. These fall into the
Speaker 1: category of these quarterbacks throw in for days but can't
Speaker 1: get w's. I've said this before. You have to be balanced.
Speaker 1: Look at Indianapolis, Look at Houston and their balance. I
Speaker 1: told you we didn't want Baltimore and Lamar throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: Now they have the balance again. They utilize him as
Speaker 1: a runner. Over a hundred fifty yards for Lamar bang
Speaker 1: they get another w Okay, these teams that are gonna
Speaker 1: be forced into volume throwing, all right, it's good for
Speaker 1: the fantasy team, It is not good for the real team.
Speaker 1: Just remember Blake Bortles was QB seven one year, all right,
Speaker 1: garbage time four days. That's what you have to know.
Speaker 1: Those are some of the things I got right. When
Speaker 1: it comes to some of the things I got wrong,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you because I am not gonna try
Speaker 1: to say that I get everything right, unlike some other
Speaker 1: analysts out there and host we acknowledge what we got wrong.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do on the other side of
Speaker 1: the break here Fantasy Freestyle episode number four hundred and eight.
Speaker 1: Hit me up in the chat room if you've got questions.
Speaker 1: I'll answer some of them on air, and you'll be
Speaker 1: able to hit me up on the phone a little
Speaker 1: bit later on in the show eight for four eight, four, three, six, eight,
Speaker 1: seven nine, when we come back, Speeds acknowledges what he
Speaker 1: got wrong, and then we spin it forward to week seven.
Speaker 1: Another four teams on buy and who should you be

Speaker 1: friends over at points bet dot Com used the promo
Speaker 1: code grid. We got some things in the chat room. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys. You know you guys were talking
Speaker 1: about Blake Bortles that season garbage time production still counts.
Speaker 1: Ben is mentioning Matt Ryan yep, another president strong styles
Speaker 1: of Philip Rivers yep. These are teams that have seen
Speaker 1: that they can't run the ball and are putting it
Speaker 1: on their quarterback who's just gonna sling it, sling it,
Speaker 1: sling it. And you know who else fits in that category.
Speaker 1: You guys have been talking about it in the chat
Speaker 1: room as well. Jamis M. F. Winston. Okay, I was
Speaker 1: on here. I was on on air yesterday morning from
Speaker 1: ten to one. You know our Pro Football Today, good show.
Speaker 1: By the way, we added Ariel Epstein. She's killing it.
Speaker 1: Some of you guys liked her and her debut. I
Speaker 1: saw it in the chat room. Um, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: her on freestyle maybe at some point. But it was
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, early in the fourth quarter, and Jamis
Speaker 1: had like two hundred and seventy yards, and I was like, watch,
Speaker 1: Jamis is gonna finish with over three fifty and he
Speaker 1: finished with four hundred. Okay, it's another point to be made.
Speaker 1: What's good for the fantasy team is not good for
Speaker 1: the NFL team. Being in a place with negative game
Speaker 1: flow where you gotta throw throw throw bad for the
Speaker 1: real team. Get you four hundred yards for Jamis Winstay, Okay,
Speaker 1: same thing I tell you about the fantasy heard bad
Speaker 1: for the fantasy team because you don't know. People are
Speaker 1: telling me, what about woods, what about cooks? You know, right,
Speaker 1: But it's good for the team, unless, of course, you're
Speaker 1: playing in the San Francisco defense. Alright, but listen, it's
Speaker 1: look at not only Jamis. I started Jamis in some places.
Speaker 1: I know he defecated the mattress because of the six turnovers,
Speaker 1: but look at the wide receivers. Godwin ten for one,
Speaker 1: Evans nine for nineties six. But you know, hopefully they
Speaker 1: correct it. But that's something I got wrong. I thought
Speaker 1: Bruce arians would be in his ear, would be able to,
Speaker 1: you know, improve Jamis, but he's a now, he's trying
Speaker 1: to be superman. He's got to throw the ball away.
Speaker 1: It seems like the same old Jamis Jamis now with
Speaker 1: ten interceptions on the season, only Baker Mayfield has more
Speaker 1: with eleven. Another thing I got wrong, Listen. I thought
Speaker 1: it could have been the week for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: But here's what I don't really get. They came out
Speaker 1: last week and said Josh Rosen was gonna be the quarterback.
Speaker 1: We're gonna stick with Josh Roseen. We need to see
Speaker 1: what we have in Josh Rosen, and midway through the
Speaker 1: next game you go to Brian Fitzpatrick. I don't understand
Speaker 1: that I got that wrong. It seems like Listen, Rosen
Speaker 1: was under so much pressure and maybe they thought fitz
Speaker 1: Magic had um some more escapability, pocket presents, that sort
Speaker 1: of thing, But that I did not understand. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, Listen. The Chargers another thing I'm off on. Listen.
Speaker 1: Stats over beat Cipher if your real deal. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been on the Chargers for years now. I thought
Speaker 1: they were talented roster, and I thought they'd get better
Speaker 1: with Hunter Henry back with Melvin Gordon back. The Hunter
Speaker 1: Henry part is legit. Eight for one, two touchdowns. I
Speaker 1: tell you all the time, most of these tight ends
Speaker 1: are really just gonna go four forty three, three for
Speaker 1: thirty seven, but then maybe they'll get the touchdown. Hunter
Speaker 1: Henry is one of them who will do more than that,
Speaker 1: who will be a part of this offense. And I
Speaker 1: really believe if you listen to me and grabbed Hunter
Speaker 1: Henry early, if he was out there, boy do you
Speaker 1: have yourself a tight end one for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. But the Melvin Gordon part is what I'm
Speaker 1: wrong about. Listen, I thought it would be fine for
Speaker 1: them to have Gordon as the early down between the
Speaker 1: tackles kind of guy and Eckler as a pass catching back.
Speaker 1: I don't think that works out. Melvin Gordon continues to
Speaker 1: look slow eight for eight teen last night. I know
Speaker 1: they got game float out of it, but my problem
Speaker 1: is that you are taking snaps away from Austin Ekeler,
Speaker 1: who was a top ten, maybe a top five back
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season, and now he's blocked
Speaker 1: by Melvin Gordon like working himself into game shape. I
Speaker 1: got that wrong. I thought the charges would make it better.
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball, so you got Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1: As you know, people are saying, you know, putting the
Speaker 1: ball up so many times. It will help for fantasy,
Speaker 1: it won't help that real team. Random Astion is asking
Speaker 1: me about DeAndre Hopkins. I still love DeAndre Hopkins. What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do. You're not gonna sell him, You're
Speaker 1: not gonna drop him. You got a grin and Barrett,
Speaker 1: is he worth? Is he that first round pick that
Speaker 1: you had? Maybe not, but he can still pop off
Speaker 1: at any time. You see what the Houston Texans and
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson are doing. I'm not concerned about DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: You start him every single week. Big shout out to
Speaker 1: John Giovano, Tampa pick six in the chat room, doing
Speaker 1: big things in the stats over beats League. Another thing
Speaker 1: I was wrong about. And then we'll move to waivers.
Speaker 1: I thought these backup quarterbacks were gonna turn into Pumpkins,
Speaker 1: you know. I thought Teddy Bridgewater would maybe be able
Speaker 1: to go three and three. He's undefeated for those Saints
Speaker 1: who are still announcing themselves as contenders regardless of the quarterback,
Speaker 1: you know, and Teddy's managing the game right. He ain't
Speaker 1: throwing the ball forty five times. His efficiency is there.
Speaker 1: He's completing two thirds of his passes though, twenty four
Speaker 1: out of thirty six, you know, and same thing about
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen two basically two thirds, two touchdowns, no picks.
Speaker 1: These guys are making boatloads of cash with every start
Speaker 1: and every win they make in relief. And now we've
Speaker 1: got an issue in Carolina, and that's the pole question.
Speaker 1: I think it's hysterical. I'm asking you, when Cam is healthy,
Speaker 1: who should be the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: And thank you to the dozens of people who are voting,
Speaker 1: were over a hundred at this point, six two thirds
Speaker 1: of you say Kyle Allen should remain the starting quarterback
Speaker 1: when Cam Newton is fully healthy. If this isn't like
Speaker 1: recency bias, I don't know what is now. Listen, Kyle
Speaker 1: Allen has been good, but is he really any bit better?
Speaker 1: And I know people in the chat and were saying this,
Speaker 1: is he really an elite quarter Cam Newton won an
Speaker 1: m v P Award. People, I understand he's compromised. I
Speaker 1: understand he's not running same thing right, he can't run
Speaker 1: anymore it's a different animal. The same as if God
Speaker 1: forbid knock on wood, it doesn't happen. Patty Mahomes is
Speaker 1: compromised in the same way. But to have you guys
Speaker 1: think that two third of you think that Kyle Allen
Speaker 1: should fend off Cam Newton, that Cam Newton in essence
Speaker 1: got Wally pipped, I think is a little bit much.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens after Kyle Allen ultimately loses a game,
Speaker 1: because I don't think they're going undefeated. All right, let's
Speaker 1: keep it moving. I want to turn my and by
Speaker 1: the way, remember hit me up with your stats of
Speaker 1: the beats a game of inches. You would have to
Speaker 1: beat Perry Ing right now, who is the leader in
Speaker 1: the club house with that Chicago Washington Monday night football
Speaker 1: sack on the last player of the game that cost
Speaker 1: a victory by point zero four. If you could beat that,
Speaker 1: or if you just want to get it up on
Speaker 1: the show, hit us up hashtag game of Inches will
Speaker 1: do something on Thursday. Of course, if you want to
Speaker 1: be really down, follow me on Twitter at spit and speed,
Speaker 1: hit me up on Patreon for guaranteed responses, and be
Speaker 1: part for real the stats. What would beat Cipher. Now, listen,
Speaker 1: there wasn't as many injuries two big time players, right.
Speaker 1: We gave you the Disley and Manny Sanders, but we
Speaker 1: think he'll be a little bit okay, Amari Cooper. So
Speaker 1: there's not like this run to the waiver wire as
Speaker 1: there is in most weeks. But how to tell you,
Speaker 1: we got bys, we got Caroline at Tampa, Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
Speaker 1: You can legitimately have like Juju Smith, Schuster, Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: and Curtis Samuel as your three wide receivers. You know
Speaker 1: you could legitimately have, Oh, I don't know James Conner
Speaker 1: and like Rojoe as you. So I understand you may
Speaker 1: need some people, and we're gonna be here to help
Speaker 1: you out. Let's look at the running back position first. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the heavily added people. I'll give you
Speaker 1: their ownership percentage, and I'll give you if I think
Speaker 1: they're diamonds or food gazes on the waiver whire. The
Speaker 1: first one, the most heavily added right now, and I'm
Speaker 1: intrigued by this. He's only in two thirds of league,
Speaker 1: So one out of three of you can go out
Speaker 1: right now and get Devin Singletary from Buffalo. Now, remember
Speaker 1: also it's always good to look at the teams that
Speaker 1: had thereby last week. A guy like Devin Singletary probably
Speaker 1: got dropped last week because Buffalo was on Thereby. He's
Speaker 1: out there, they are now off Thereby. I think he's
Speaker 1: worth it because remember he was coming back from injury.
Speaker 1: I think that's worth it if you need a play
Speaker 1: this week. On the flip side, though, no, a fool gaizy.
Speaker 1: This Mark Walton stuff from Miami, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: Remember also, there's what Kenyan Drake there? Does Klin Blage there?
Speaker 1: You really want the third running back of an Owen? However,
Speaker 1: many team I want no part of it. I was
Speaker 1: surprised to see that he was so heavily added. Chase Edmonds.
Speaker 1: He's interesting thirty percent on so two thirds of you
Speaker 1: can go out right now and get yourself Chase Edmonds.
Speaker 1: And I know he's had some more burned recently, and
Speaker 1: I know it's a volume offense, but this is really
Speaker 1: tied to David Johnson. Right, If David Johnson misses time,
Speaker 1: if the back acts up, that sort of thing. I
Speaker 1: like Chase Edmund's kind of but He's no more than
Speaker 1: just a traditional handcuff. If you like Chase Edmonds, there's
Speaker 1: no difference in getting like you know, Elijah Penny right,
Speaker 1: or there's no difference in getting like Latavious Murray, or
Speaker 1: there's no debt, you know, this kind of thing, you know,
Speaker 1: time on Gummery. He's really no different than a kind
Speaker 1: of strict handcuff in my opinion. But hey, with the
Speaker 1: boys coming up, you could do worse. Two guys that
Speaker 1: are owned in you know, more like two thirds of
Speaker 1: leagues Adrian Peterson. Listen, I told you about this last
Speaker 1: week because the new coach, Bill Callahan wants to run
Speaker 1: the ball right, and Chris Thompson got banged up a
Speaker 1: little bit with the foot. But let's not forget what
Speaker 1: you saw yesterday was against the Miami Dolphins. Don't think
Speaker 1: you could just pick that up and apply it now
Speaker 1: on a week to week basis. So I'm not I
Speaker 1: I think it's a volume play maybe, But if you're
Speaker 1: looking for a volume play, go right back to the
Speaker 1: diamond in the rough that I said, that strong style,
Speaker 1: said Carlos Hide, like I said, over twenty carries and
Speaker 1: three of the Texans four wins, I think that's sustainable.
Speaker 1: As his role and Duke Johnson's role begin to get
Speaker 1: a little bit more clear, I'll give you the tight
Speaker 1: ends as well, and then we'll do the waiver wire
Speaker 1: wide receivers on the other side of the break will
Speaker 1: answer your questions and we'll talk Monday Night football as
Speaker 1: well at tight end. Listen, if Hunter Henry is still
Speaker 1: out there, he shouldn't be because you should have got
Speaker 1: him last week when I told you. But he's still
Speaker 1: out there in leagues. Go spend the fat budget in
Speaker 1: the waiver priority for it. The guy you need to
Speaker 1: know though. Next man up for will dis Lee. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be Luke Wilson. If you like Luke Wilson, I
Speaker 1: think he could be a streamer. We know what he
Speaker 1: is at this point of his career, but he knows
Speaker 1: the offense. Russell trusts him, so he could be viable.
Speaker 1: There was some production there and with my off off
Speaker 1: by kind of idea. Eric Ebron is unowned in half
Speaker 1: of leagues in the Indianapolis culture coming off thereby, that
Speaker 1: could be a look when we come back. We opened
Speaker 1: up the phone lines eight four four eight four three
Speaker 1: six eight seven nine. I give you wide receivers to
Speaker 1: add on the waiver wire, and we look ahead to
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. We'll see if Danie Otto is getting
Speaker 1: some friendship bread into all that. Its episode four hundred
Speaker 1: and eight of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on Sports
Speaker 1: Grade with the spitting statistician. Come on back, dilly dilly
Speaker 1: to y'all. Phone lines are open, Hill at your boy.

Speaker 1: here to serve you the fanatic. This is Sports Grade.
Speaker 1: Get on the grid, Welcome back Episode eight of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle here on Sports Grade Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Uh my man, horn Dog Hard Dog is asking about Juju.
Speaker 1: Now listen, there's gonna be a lot of players like this. No,
Speaker 1: you ain't cutting juju. No you're not trading juju. Because
Speaker 1: here it's a very simple thing, the um More Dog
Speaker 1: and a lot of other people. It's like the stock market.
Speaker 1: You sell high, you buy low. So as something's coming
Speaker 1: down to low, you don't sell it. You're gonna sell
Speaker 1: it for what eighties sixty cents on the dollar. You're
Speaker 1: trying to trade Juju? Now nobody wants to trade for him, now,
Speaker 1: you know, so no sometimes the answer, and I know
Speaker 1: people don't like it. I'm gonna say this week's five, six,
Speaker 1: seven and eight. You gotta just hold sometimes. Remember I
Speaker 1: was saying this about Davante Adams, about Mike Evans, about
Speaker 1: Davonte Freeman, who's now, by the way, involved in the
Speaker 1: passing offense for Atlanta. Sometimes I know you don't like
Speaker 1: you gotta just grin and bear it. And that's the
Speaker 1: case with Juju. I see you guys, um, I see
Speaker 1: you guys on the phone lines, and then open them
Speaker 1: up in a hot second. I do want to tell
Speaker 1: you some waiver wide wide receivers. First, waiver wire wide
Speaker 1: receivers say that five times fast, and then you too
Speaker 1: could be the spitting statistician. Listen, guys, I said it,
Speaker 1: and I told you one of the things Speed's got
Speaker 1: right this jets offense is different with Sam Donald there,
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson is owned in fifty nine percent of leagues.
Speaker 1: Go get him. People thought he was gonna be he
Speaker 1: was a wide receiver three going into the draft. He
Speaker 1: was the same level draft that has like Alan Robinson.
Speaker 1: For God's sakes, if he's out there now, they're starting
Speaker 1: quarterback is back, Go get him. Same with Jamison Crowder.
Speaker 1: He had the same Jamison Crowder who had fourteen catches
Speaker 1: on seventeen targets in Week one. I'll take six and
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's return. He's owned in of leagues. Similarly, Golden
Speaker 1: Tate is owned in sixty percent of leagues. I said
Speaker 1: this last week. People were thinking that it was Eli
Speaker 1: Manning up. Now it's Danny Dimes. In the same way
Speaker 1: it's not Luke Folk up. It's Sam Donald. Okay, and
Speaker 1: Golden Tate last week on Thursday Night Football with Danny
Speaker 1: Dimes six for one oh two and a touchdown. This
Speaker 1: also guys off By. There's two wide receivers off by
Speaker 1: that are being heavily added that I would also add
Speaker 1: the first he's sev owned but worth the check. Tyrell Williams.
Speaker 1: Remember he also not only did the Raiders have to buy.
Speaker 1: But he missed that game before in London because he
Speaker 1: was hurt, So maybe someone dropped him and no one
Speaker 1: thought to pick him up because they were on by
Speaker 1: last week. You can get him now. I certainly recommended.
Speaker 1: He's the number one wide out for the Oakland Raiders, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, have three wins on the season and
Speaker 1: the other one my man Gabe Moran's he would love this.
Speaker 1: He's the prop bet king and that's Cold Beasley. He's
Speaker 1: only but in PPR leagues he's absolutely warranted. Let's go
Speaker 1: to the phone's real quick before I give you my
Speaker 1: thoughts on Monday night football as the Lions and the
Speaker 1: Packers or what maybe like forty five minutes away. You
Speaker 1: know who we go to first? He probably wants to
Speaker 1: ask me about the showdown slate on DraftKings. It's Connor
Speaker 1: and Tampa. What's going on? Connor? Brother man? You know what? Man?
Speaker 1: How you doing? Actually? On this Sunday was almost it
Speaker 1: was almost game that was winning like three grands. I
Speaker 1: was so freaking a litterally yeah, but like I kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins and here you go that that went
Speaker 1: off the show and the night and that Nick Chubb
Speaker 1: but were but we're rely um instead of freaking instead
Speaker 1: of Chris Carson, I played on mark Ingram instead of
Speaker 1: into the week. He didn't get the usage. There was
Speaker 1: some Gus Edwards some Hill as well. So what's up
Speaker 1: for tonight and moving forward? The hooker um um so
Speaker 1: on for tonight. I'm like better done between Daniem and
Speaker 1: Dolan Jamala. Are you are you scared that they're gonna limit?
Speaker 1: I don't think listen and that's a good question, and
Speaker 1: thanks for the call as always, Connor, you know I'm
Speaker 1: I'm okay with going to Jamal Williams. All right. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing, a he'll be low owned Connor and everybody else.
Speaker 1: And two before the injury, right on Thursday night against Philly,
Speaker 1: he was getting more and more snaps every single week.
Speaker 1: The floor even came out and said we needed to
Speaker 1: be more of a balance. Now since Jamal Wims has
Speaker 1: gone out, Aaron Jones has gone off, and it's valid
Speaker 1: to think, Connor that they may try to ease Jamal
Speaker 1: will Illiams back in. But I'm okay with going Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams and over Amon Doola for sure. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit, um and Danny, let me know
Speaker 1: if there's any other callers, I'll hit you up in
Speaker 1: a hot second, Danny. But let's talk about Monday night football,
Speaker 1: all right. What I'm staring at right now is green
Speaker 1: Bay still three and a half point favorites? Is that
Speaker 1: where we're at? Yeah? Three and a half point favorites?
Speaker 1: Forty five and a half is the total. I've never
Speaker 1: seen a team or a player be more of a
Speaker 1: gatekeeper or a litmus test than Matthew Stafford and the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Matthew Stafford, everyone says, for like three weeks
Speaker 1: he plays like an m v P. Hey, they're gritty,
Speaker 1: They're gonna be good this year. Matthew Stafford's record against
Speaker 1: teams that are above five hundred is five and forty three.
Speaker 1: Let's say that again, five and forty three against teams
Speaker 1: that are about five hundred on the road, he has
Speaker 1: one in against a team that finished five. So he
Speaker 1: beats bad teams. But can he step up in class
Speaker 1: on the road against the contender? I'm not so sure.
Speaker 1: What I am sure of is you know how I
Speaker 1: love that Green Bay defense, but then I saw them
Speaker 1: get exposed via the run against Philly and against others.
Speaker 1: I know my guy when they cut C. J. Anderson,
Speaker 1: and I told you how much I was happy about
Speaker 1: our guy gonna start getting run than he had twenty
Speaker 1: carries two weeks ago, twenty six carries last time out.
Speaker 1: Those forty six carries are more than everybody in the NFL,
Speaker 1: with the exception of some guy named Christian McCaffrey. You
Speaker 1: combine that with the fact that the green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: are thirty first in the NFL giving up five and
Speaker 1: a half yards a touch to the running back position,
Speaker 1: and my guys getting twenty or more touches in the
Speaker 1: last couple of games, and I think that will continue
Speaker 1: as Patricia looks to run the ball and my guy
Speaker 1: has a seventies six total and rushing yards and a
Speaker 1: ninety two and a half total in scrimmage yards. Danny
Speaker 1: tell the people, I'm going over ninety two and a
Speaker 1: half scrimmage yards for who, Danny Jerry, Absolutely listen. They're
Speaker 1: feeding carry on Johnson. I think they're gonna continue to
Speaker 1: do so. He's he's gonna get the touches and Green
Speaker 1: Bay's defense is given it up to the running back.
Speaker 1: I like carry on Johnson over ninety two and a
Speaker 1: half scrimmage yards. The other player that I'm on for
Speaker 1: prop bets is Jimmy Graham. Listen with no Davante Adams, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got Geronimo Allison. Yeah, you got Marquez Valdez scantling.
Speaker 1: But I think in the red zone and when Jimmy
Speaker 1: Graham is in third I mean in third downs, when
Speaker 1: a Rod is on the on the rollout, I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna find Jimmy Graham. The prop bets for Jimmy
Speaker 1: Graham today three and a half receptions. I like that
Speaker 1: over you can also get Jimmy Graham at plus two
Speaker 1: thirty to score a touchdown, and I think that is
Speaker 1: an interesting bet. On the the other one, and Connor
Speaker 1: just mentioned it, I'm okay with Jamal Williams and so
Speaker 1: On the flip side, I think that these totals for
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones are artificially pumped up because he's been so
Speaker 1: dominant over the last couple of weeks. I'll take an
Speaker 1: under sixty eight and a half rushing yards for Aaron Jones. Okay,
Speaker 1: remember snacks Harrison in the middle of that line. It's
Speaker 1: tough to run against Detroit, and I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: work Jamal Williams in a little bit so over ninety
Speaker 1: two and a half scrimmage yards for carry On Johnson,
Speaker 1: over three and a half receptions for Jimmy Graham plus
Speaker 1: two thirty Jimmy Graham scores a touchdown in this game,
Speaker 1: and under sixty eight and a half yards for Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones via the run. As for the game, I think
Speaker 1: green Bay gets it done. I think Detroit will hang
Speaker 1: with them for two and a half quarters, but then
Speaker 1: I think green Bay ultimately shows themselves and is better.
Speaker 1: But I don't like it at three and a half.
Speaker 1: I think that that that hook scares me. So what
Speaker 1: I'm going to do. I'm gonna be bet in this
Speaker 1: game in game live, Okay. What I hope is that
Speaker 1: Detroit has a nice little first drive. If I can
Speaker 1: get the in game live total anywhere not total to
Speaker 1: the line under a field goal, If I can get
Speaker 1: green Bay minus two, minus two and a half and
Speaker 1: the score is still like three nothing Detroit seven seven Detroit,
Speaker 1: but Detroit moving the ball. That's what I'll do, because
Speaker 1: ultimately I like green Bay to win this game, and
Speaker 1: I have a slight lean to the under, but that
Speaker 1: is not the play I would make. The play I'd
Speaker 1: make is Live Green Bay if I can get it.
Speaker 1: Ninety two over scrimmage yards for carry On Johnson, over
Speaker 1: three and a half for Jimmy Graham plus two thirty
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, and under six eight and a half
Speaker 1: rushing yards for Aaron Jones. I nailed some of the
Speaker 1: prop bets yesterday. I hope you heard me on Sunday morning. Um,
Speaker 1: I gave you over for Feeling. I gave you over
Speaker 1: for Robbie Anderson and Jamison Crowder, and I gave you
Speaker 1: under for d J. Chark. I said he was gonna
Speaker 1: be shadowed by Lattimore and he shut him down. So
Speaker 1: that's why we don't need to play the song at all. No, no, no, Danny.
Speaker 1: I hope people are bound. I hope. I hope everyone's bouncing.
Speaker 1: I hope Danny in the Undislows location is bouncing because
Speaker 1: he's gonna get yet another W. Speeds is gonna take
Speaker 1: another l Guys, this is quickly. The status of the
Speaker 1: Beats League is quickly coming. One of my leagues that
Speaker 1: I'm not doing well enough in that I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to lose attention for I got a shot, but I
Speaker 1: would have to have guys go absolutely off. Danny, I
Speaker 1: know you had a wager with Jilly Dilley. It looks
Speaker 1: to me like Jilly Dilley is gonna move to five
Speaker 1: and one on the season by beating you by a
Speaker 1: handy margin, Hunt, Danny, Yeah, so what's up with that?
Speaker 1: I mean, you just wanted friendship bread Well, I I
Speaker 1: promised her when she asked for my address earlier this morning.
Speaker 1: I promised her that I played everyone that I possibly could.
Speaker 1: I did not just throw it because I want, of
Speaker 1: course not. But yeah I got, I got slammed to
Speaker 1: the ground. Yeah you got dumb trucked. And then big
Speaker 1: shout out of course to my man Tampa Pick six
Speaker 1: John g. He spent some time on the set here
Speaker 1: and looks like he's gonna get another w unless cause
Speaker 1: can get big things here on Monday night. It looks like, honestly, Danny,
Speaker 1: it looks like the Tampa Pick six and Jilly Dilley
Speaker 1: are starting to separate themselves. Right they were the two
Speaker 1: or four one teams. They both get victories. It looks
Speaker 1: like again, uh, it looks like they're gonna be true
Speaker 1: contenders here Hunt Danny. Yeah, they're gonna be teams to beat,
Speaker 1: like if if if anyone has any chances to do anything, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say so. Looking ahead to next week, though,
Speaker 1: I got big time. I'm rolling with the comis and
Speaker 1: guess what Tampa pick six plays down under Who's oh
Speaker 1: and five? They may get another win, but a tougher
Speaker 1: matchup for Jilly Dilley. Jilly Dilley is gonna see my
Speaker 1: man Danny Lee the undisclosed location. He's gonna get a
Speaker 1: win against me to move to four and two. So
Speaker 1: that looks like it's gonna be a big one next week,
Speaker 1: Jilly Dilley versus the undisclosed Location. Hopefully neither one of
Speaker 1: those have big boys. Who are Carolina Panthers or Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Box, you know? Or who are the other two
Speaker 1: teams on by or the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Cleveland Browns,
Speaker 1: because listen, those are teams with fantasy players. I got
Speaker 1: one league where I'm viscerated by byes this week. And
Speaker 1: remember if anybody was seeing that pit league where I
Speaker 1: drafted uh Jamis Winston and big Ben and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: then I realized they both had Byes the same week,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, these things will
Speaker 1: have a way of working themselves out. Well, what do
Speaker 1: you know, Big Ben is on I R and Jamis
Speaker 1: is one of these you know, is one of these
Speaker 1: garbage time throwers of four hundred yards And unfortunately I
Speaker 1: think that in fact will continue. But check it out.
Speaker 1: I also want to give a big shout out and thanks.
Speaker 1: I know everyone saw on Sunday we welcomed Ariel Epstein

Speaker 1: thanks to my man Danny and the Pit of Misery.
Speaker 1: I'm out and buy out. I mean, I'm sitting here
Speaker 1: for another hour with game. Let's go in Game Live
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, Here we go. I'm out. Are you
Speaker 1: ready for the nation's first and only free, twenty four
Speaker 1: hour network dedicated to you, the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast.
Speaker 1: Sports Grade will provide you with a real time content,
Speaker 1: statistics and gaming intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Speaker 1: Located both in the heart of New York City and
Speaker 1: inside the FanDuel Sports book at the Metal Lends Sports Crade.
Speaker 1: He's live eighteen hours a day here to serve you.
Speaker 1: No fanatic, this is sports grade. Get on the grid.
Speaker 1: Nobody gave the Steelers a chance to win. You got
Speaker 1: a third string quarterback, the dudes and people don't even
Speaker 1: know who Devil and Hodges is. Where the hell he
Speaker 1: came for? What the hell's of Sanford? No idea who
Speaker 1: this guy was? And oh yeah, Ben Roethlisberger spent an
Speaker 1: entire career racking up rings and yardage, yet he's never
Speaker 1: won a game on the West Coast. So now the Steelers,
Speaker 1: you're asking him to go back on the West Coast
Speaker 1: with a third string quarterback, going up against a Chargers
Speaker 1: team with Melvin Gordon back Austin Ekeler. And yeah, they
Speaker 1: promptly go ahead, turn the ball over three times and
Speaker 1: again dig themselves a hole in the first half that
Speaker 1: they can't dig themselves out of in the second half.
Speaker 1: And the Chargers, their schedule gets brutal from him. You're
Speaker 1: on out, But Pittsburgh's part of a conference. Let's face it,
Speaker 1: Cleveland loses again. Baltimore is they're decent, They're not you know,
Speaker 1: they're not a juggernaut. Now, all of a sudden, Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: with a couple of back to back wins. Pittsburgh's in
Speaker 1: the running now for the NFS, the the a f
Speaker 1: C North title. Uh it, all of a sudden just
Speaker 1: got really interesting after yesterday's games. Yeah, I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh gets that seen, they go to two and four
Speaker 1: on the season. I don't know if I see it
Speaker 1: the same way Joe. I think Baltimore is in fact
Speaker 1: the class of that division. They get a close win.
Speaker 1: We said it this morning. We thought the bat last
Speaker 1: yesterday morning, we thought the back door would be open
Speaker 1: for the Bengals, and it was. But Joe, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think Baltimore at four and two, you know, Yes,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh got the win yesterday and a tough you know,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say tough, but it wasn't. There were
Speaker 1: more terrible towels there than Chargers fans, you know, So
Speaker 1: they are two games back. I still think Baltimore is
Speaker 1: the class of this division. But I want to talk
Speaker 1: more about the Chargers. Listen, Joe, I mean they can't
Speaker 1: stop the run. It has nothing to do. You know,
Speaker 1: they have to be able to stop the run. The
Speaker 1: entire stadium knew that Pittsburgh was gonna be running the ball,
Speaker 1: especially late in that game, and it was still gatching
Speaker 1: the Chargers right up the middle. And then on the
Speaker 1: other side of things. I don't know about you, Joe.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just an Austin Ekeler truther, but Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: does not look like he's hitting the ground running. Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon looks slow to me. Okay, it looks like that
Speaker 1: offense has a lot more spunk when Austin Ekeler is
Speaker 1: on the field. I know. That's when they're in the
Speaker 1: shotgun and slinging it. That's what Philip Rivers wants to do,
Speaker 1: although he also slings the interceptions as well. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, Joe. Melvin Gordon eight for eighteen and it
Speaker 1: just looks like it doesn't look dynamic with him on
Speaker 1: the field. They even showed a stat for the Charges
Speaker 1: about what their run game has done, and they were
Speaker 1: great at the beginning of the season. Now I don't
Speaker 1: see it. It looks like they're just putting Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: in and they gotta work him in a little bit
Speaker 1: more and they don't have time to do that. Now
Speaker 1: standing at two and four, Joe, what do you think
Speaker 1: about this Gordon and Ekeler kind of balance. It looked
Speaker 1: like Melvin Gordon was not an added value to the offense.
