Speaker 1: Way off, way off layoffs. Come by, hope we can
Speaker 1: win a game. Come on, dropping stacks SOCl feet is

Speaker 1: Win championships with that fantasy free style. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. This is Speeds in the
Speaker 1: Place to Be. Rocks is actually in Cuba enjoying the vacation.
Speaker 1: He was like, you know what, I didn't win my
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues. I ain't got no money, but I'm going
Speaker 1: on there because I hear it's popping. So I am
Speaker 1: joined for weeks seventeen here on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping
Speaker 1: stats over beats with my man Coltrane, special guest hosting.
Speaker 1: You may see him on that Sports Guru, but this
Speaker 1: is Speeds and Coltrane. We're gonna hear a little bit
Speaker 1: from Rocks a little bit later as we go into
Speaker 1: weeks seventeen, dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hey Cole, bringing
Speaker 1: you on because multiple reasons. Man. One, I hear you
Speaker 1: won your fantasy league right right right right? Who who? Who?
Speaker 1: Who led you to a championship, So I gotta give
Speaker 1: a big shout out. So like nin guy Lashawn McCloy, yep, yep,
Speaker 1: Shawn McCloy was huge, Matt Ryan with the comeback season,
Speaker 1: um came out of nowhere this year. Yes, so those
Speaker 1: are those are definitely people that will help you win
Speaker 1: your league and win that catch and truth be told,
Speaker 1: Uh Speeds and coal Train. We competed in a fantasy
Speaker 1: football league this season. Neither one of us, neither one
Speaker 1: of us was successful. However, Cole, I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it was like the ninth
Speaker 1: place game or something. I was playing you this weekend
Speaker 1: and I seized ninth place against you. So it's been
Speaker 1: a watch happened. Not pleased about what that what happened there,
Speaker 1: But you know that is sometimes you know, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: saying what I'm saying. Here's the other thing, here's the
Speaker 1: other reason that I wanted to bring full Train on
Speaker 1: and his special expertise because I've been saying for a
Speaker 1: little while, you know, on the Fantasy Free Style and
Speaker 1: Plantasy Sports Radio network, that if you are in leagues
Speaker 1: that have like these two championships, but by some reason,
Speaker 1: are playing your championship on week seventeen, because we're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about week seventeen, but we already have. We
Speaker 1: already have news that you know, Levan Bell not playing
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg and not playing Antonio Brown not playing so
Speaker 1: many different people are gonna be resting, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about some motivations of some other teams a little
Speaker 1: bit later on. But Cole coul Tran, you told me
Speaker 1: that you were in a two week Fantasy championship matchup right,
Speaker 1: how does that work out? But you're still done by
Speaker 1: week seventeen or are you playing in week seventeen? No,
Speaker 1: we're finished. So what we did was we started in
Speaker 1: week We started our playoffs a week earlier than most
Speaker 1: people did. So we started week third team we didn't.
Speaker 1: So six teams made the playoffs. Let me start. I'll
Speaker 1: pick that with that, all right, six teams make it start.
Speaker 1: We we won his Week thirteen. It's a one week playoff.
Speaker 1: Then you need your semifinals, which is Week four team,
Speaker 1: then week fifteen, in week sixteen, or your championship rounds. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: adding together from the two weeks, that's how you get
Speaker 1: your score. I ended up winning championships by a total
Speaker 1: of about four and a half points. That's pretty crazy
Speaker 1: over two weeks. Man, So coal Trane locking it in,
Speaker 1: winning his league and winning that cash. He was getting
Speaker 1: a little bit of advice from speeds across the way,
Speaker 1: so holding him down. You know, check it out. I
Speaker 1: just asked Coltrane, because you know, like I don't really
Speaker 1: like those leagues that are going into weeks seventeen, because
Speaker 1: you know your studs may not be playing. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get into that. But someone else who did not make
Speaker 1: it two weeks seventeen, it turns out, was Rex Ryan.
Speaker 1: I have been railing against Rex Ryan for a little while,
Speaker 1: Coltrane saying that, you know, his whole squad was a
Speaker 1: dumpster fire all the way back at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the season, where Shack Lawson got injured early, the highly
Speaker 1: touted rookie rssel Darius checked into a facility. They fired
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. Very early. There were questions of nepotism
Speaker 1: going around with him and his brother Rob. They don't
Speaker 1: even know if they want to bring back Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1: Rex is kind of raw. Raw is not working. You
Speaker 1: know one thing that I thought was funny about the
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan firing. I don't know if you remember this Coltrane,
Speaker 1: but he redid a paint job on his truck to
Speaker 1: be like a Bill's paint job on his car. So
Speaker 1: now that he's fired, he still has to drive around
Speaker 1: with that as his car. What do you think about that? Huh?
Speaker 1: He's driving around with the a job of his car
Speaker 1: and the paying job on his what is it his arm? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think he probably got that Mark Sanchez tattoo. Maybe
Speaker 1: he filled it in a little bit to make it
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor or your boy Shady McCoy. Huh yeah, two reminders.
Speaker 1: Now how badly he's failed. I mean, I can't picture him.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna give him a job because
Speaker 1: he's I don't see any reason why for he took
Speaker 1: this Buffalo team, which all accounts was a pretty good team,
Speaker 1: and just draw him straight directly into the ground. It
Speaker 1: wasn't His wasn't his foundation defense, and it's not like
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense. He came any better. They had a
Speaker 1: top five, top ten defense before That's Ryan got there. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think and I said, as I was
Speaker 1: watching this disaster against the Dolphins, I said, this is
Speaker 1: the last draw because you can't take that defense and
Speaker 1: what what a team led by a backup quarter. But
Speaker 1: really he ran for over two hundred yards against them
Speaker 1: both times they faced each other this season. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, That's absolutely crazy. But you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess the interesting thing is, you know we're coming
Speaker 1: up on you know, a lot of teams will be
Speaker 1: thinking about it, happy about the playoffs after this weekend's action.
Speaker 1: But then on Monday, it's gonna be black Monday. And
Speaker 1: you know, we've already had a few coaches fired. Rex
Speaker 1: Ryan has been fired in Buffalo, Gus Bradley has been
Speaker 1: fired already out in Jackson though, and of course don't
Speaker 1: forget about the always lovely below five Jeff Fisher. Finally,
Speaker 1: that error, not the era of the error of Jeff
Speaker 1: Fisher has been ended in Los Angeles. So those are
Speaker 1: three jobs right there, right. I wonder do you think
Speaker 1: there's any other Let's get into pure speculation mode, because
Speaker 1: that's what we do here, dropping speculation over beats. It's
Speaker 1: the fantasy freestyle coal train filling it for rocks and
Speaker 1: I'm your boys, speed this bitting statistician holding you down
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports radio network, A cole any other
Speaker 1: coaches you think might be on the hot seat? For example,
Speaker 1: I've got too. I think Chuck Begano could be gone,
Speaker 1: and I think Marvin Lewis maybe nearing the end of
Speaker 1: his tenure in Cincinnati. Do you think there's any other
Speaker 1: coaches that better be looking out for the reaper on Monday? Well,
Speaker 1: I've heard. I wouldn't say Marvin Lewis too, but I
Speaker 1: have heard just from reading around the internet that, I mean,
Speaker 1: unsubstantiated rumors. Right now, that's what we do, unsubstantiated stuff.
Speaker 1: Just throw it around, bro, that they're giving they're giving
Speaker 1: him the option of leaving or doing one more year.
Speaker 1: That's what I've heard. That sort of like you could leave.
Speaker 1: That That doesn't even sound weird. That sounds like there's
Speaker 1: still no faith in him whatsoever. We're here in New
Speaker 1: York though. Here Coltrane, Coltrand Speeds here, and that's what
Speaker 1: we're based in. I'm seeing the papers today. A lot
Speaker 1: of people have for some reason thought that odd Bowls
Speaker 1: might get the accent. There's a lot of reports today
Speaker 1: that Todd Bowls will, in fact, they think, be retained.
Speaker 1: I actually agree with that. I think he needs in
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a chance with this team,
Speaker 1: with this roster, with this locker room. I don't know
Speaker 1: so so so this brings me to the question, Coltrane, Um,
Speaker 1: out of these guys the Bill's job, the Jaguars job
Speaker 1: of the ram shop, because those are the jobs that
Speaker 1: we know now right, maybe the Bengals will be up.
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like the Jets will be up. I really
Speaker 1: do think Andrew luck is a little bit peeved off
Speaker 1: in India, and I think they're gonna have to do
Speaker 1: something different. But out of these jobs that we know
Speaker 1: will be different next year, let's say here, like an
Speaker 1: up and coming you know, college coach or an up
Speaker 1: and coming coordinator, Um, which of these jobs, or like
Speaker 1: a TV analyst, Let's say, which are these jobs are
Speaker 1: you um most excited about interviewing before? Well, let me
Speaker 1: give you a little little list right here. So my
Speaker 1: least exciting one buff to start off Buffalo. I feel
Speaker 1: like this team is gonna go over complete makeover. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be completely rebuilding from what this scene was. Sean
Speaker 1: mc probably the only piece left that you're gonna have
Speaker 1: that's usable because maybe Sammy Watkins plus your bull who
Speaker 1: wants to be in Buffalo. Certainly not Marshawn Lynch, No,
Speaker 1: certainly not number to do. I'd say Jacksonville, UM, I
Speaker 1: think you know you've got not You're gonna have a
Speaker 1: nice draft pick for the next season. Um down down
Speaker 1: South and Florida. Jacksonville is nice and um. I personally
Speaker 1: I think the defense is getting better, I really do. UM.
Speaker 1: And then I think I don't think portals is quite
Speaker 1: done yet. I think from me, you think if they
Speaker 1: bring in one of these quarterback whispers or something like that,
Speaker 1: that he's still fixable. He is only something. He's only
Speaker 1: years old. I think he's got time and eventually you
Speaker 1: can move on if you have to. But the most
Speaker 1: exciting one I think is l A right only because
Speaker 1: you're in Los Angeles. I mean, if you got to
Speaker 1: like the market, if you're if you're a prospective coach
Speaker 1: coming in, you gotta like being in Los Angeles, you
Speaker 1: already know that everybody knows the team is gonna be
Speaker 1: bad next year, right, I mean right, you got a
Speaker 1: young quarterback to work with. I mean like you got
Speaker 1: a great You've got a great young running back. Also
Speaker 1: you have it's on defense. You have a big time
Speaker 1: market that will maybe attract free agents. Yep. I mean
Speaker 1: I think there's plenty of opportunity grow in l A.
Speaker 1: If you could be merging into a brand new stadium
Speaker 1: with an owner who's clearly going to be providing for you, spend,
Speaker 1: spend spending. If you can be the first coach to
Speaker 1: win in l A is quite some time, you'll make
Speaker 1: a name for yourself pretty quickly. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Coltrane. I think the RAMS is
Speaker 1: the most attractive job because of a lot of the
Speaker 1: pieces we just discussed, and because of you know, the
Speaker 1: hard knocks, glitz and glamour, and you know the magnetism,
Speaker 1: the magnetism that that has. But here's the thing with
Speaker 1: the RAMS job. Um, what if Jared Goff is just
Speaker 1: not the guy? Right? What if he's one of these
Speaker 1: first round Because then if that's the case, you're early
Speaker 1: in the process of figuring that out, and that could
Speaker 1: mean that you go down the wrong road for a
Speaker 1: good three years. He's like, if you at least are
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, you already know that Blake, you know whatever
Speaker 1: it is you know, you don't know jack about Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: And that is actually to the detriment of Jeff Fisher.
Speaker 1: They should have been playing the number but one overall
Speaker 1: pick from the beginning, even though he did not know
Speaker 1: where the sun rises and where the sun sets. But um,
Speaker 1: I agreed, Jacksonville is interesting to me, man, because listen,
Speaker 1: they've invested some of that defense. They're taking steps. But
Speaker 1: I think it's clear that Blake Bortles is a little
Speaker 1: bit messed up, that he is a little skittish in
Speaker 1: the pocket, that he does make bad decisions, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if I would want to inherit him. They
Speaker 1: were already saying the ownership is saying and the general
Speaker 1: manager saying that, uh, the new coach does not have
Speaker 1: to be tied two Bortles. What I don't like about
Speaker 1: the Jaguars is the owner con is trying to make
Speaker 1: this the London Jaguars. You know, they're having multiple games
Speaker 1: out there in London or trying to become this adopted team.
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna be the head coach, that's an actual
Speaker 1: like distraction. If I know I have to make that
Speaker 1: weird trip every single season, that's something that I don't
Speaker 1: want to deal with. I agree with you about Buffalo.
Speaker 1: You know, they don't know what they're doing with Tyrod.
Speaker 1: They have Shady, but he's actually probably on the second
Speaker 1: half of his career if you want to know the truth.
Speaker 1: And they've been in burgeatory for a long time. They're
Speaker 1: not attracting anything. If instead of interviewing for the Bills,
Speaker 1: I'd hold out for some other opportunities, to wait for
Speaker 1: these TV guys to get those jobs, and then I'll
Speaker 1: take those TV jobs. And that's what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: Speeds and coal Train on the Fantasy Freestyle on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hey, we're gonna get into, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, things that you need to help you win
Speaker 1: your league and win that cash. You know we're gonna
Speaker 1: do Our flagship segments are game flow geniuses, are diamonds
Speaker 1: in the rough, and our fantasy food games these schools,
Speaker 1: forget about it. We're also gonna give you rocks even
Speaker 1: from Cuba is going to give you his PEP seventeen
Speaker 1: DFS lineup so you can hit. You know, he's been
Speaker 1: hot lately, hitting in those tournaments, hitting in those double
Speaker 1: ups and in those nice little cash games, giving you
Speaker 1: those lineup books. When I got my man's special guests
Speaker 1: Cold Train. We do a lot of things. We're playing
Speaker 1: some fantasy leagues together. We also do work on that
Speaker 1: sports Gulu app where fans can talk about sports on video.
Speaker 1: Get all your hot takes in there if you one
Speaker 1: in Mad ways for you to Holly Red Speeds, that
Speaker 1: spitting statistician. But when I have cold you know, before
Speaker 1: we go to break, I want to ask you, though, generally,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Week seventeen? Has it released
Speaker 1: to fantasy sports as it relates to say daily fantasy
Speaker 1: or picking games? Because I find it so hard. It's
Speaker 1: almost like a preseason week when you do not know
Speaker 1: how many teams are gonna play hard. Who's already got
Speaker 1: like the movers at the in the locker room, who's
Speaker 1: already got their tea time set for monthday morning in
Speaker 1: some Caribbean island. What's your rule of thumb thinking about
Speaker 1: Week seventeen in this uh in this kind of space
Speaker 1: cold dream well for Week seven team and it depends
Speaker 1: so for fantasy football at least, I think Week seventeen.
Speaker 1: If you're a commissioner, you're doing wrong by your league
Speaker 1: by bass, Yes, yes, because it's not fair to the
Speaker 1: players that have to play in that because there is
Speaker 1: no because you can drop the best team. You can
Speaker 1: drop the best team, you can drop all the best players,
Speaker 1: all the right players, but if they're the layoff, guess what,
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna have played maybe maybe a half of
Speaker 1: football this week coming up. So that's not fair of
Speaker 1: your players. As far as picking games, DFS, stuff like that,
Speaker 1: you know it is it's basically preseason. Like you said,
Speaker 1: it's tough to choose. But I guess that's where you
Speaker 1: make the money, right, Yeah, yeah, I think you. I
Speaker 1: think here's the deal. You can find some any efficiencies here,
Speaker 1: and I think that's the beauty of it. Do you
Speaker 1: realize they came out with the prices for these games
Speaker 1: like on Monday, you know, even before Monday Night Football,
Speaker 1: before an announcement like literally D'Angelo Williams and Fitzgerald Toussaint
Speaker 1: both at fort hundred this week, So you know if
Speaker 1: Levian Bell is getting rested because the Steelers are locked
Speaker 1: into the three seed as they are, right, and you
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be one of these guys that are
Speaker 1: just gonna get all the work against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: And there are thirty first ranked defense in the NFL. Like,
Speaker 1: that's an incredible value. There are ways for you to
Speaker 1: find inefficiencies. We're gonna give them to you here um
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle, you in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: But you know where are some other places like obviously
Speaker 1: is in Detroit and the Green Bay game. Right, those
Speaker 1: are teams that are playing for it. You know what
Speaker 1: I like, here's another one for your Coltrane. I like
Speaker 1: to pay up this week for the Seattle Seahawks defense.
Speaker 1: They are in an atmosphere where they have to win
Speaker 1: to try to get that second by. They want a
Speaker 1: home game, they know they are vulnerable, and they are
Speaker 1: playing against the do do blunt, guts trash team of
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners, a team that I think
Speaker 1: is actually trying to not win games. I think Seattle
Speaker 1: defense will travel well and have a big effort in
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, especially after getting lit up by the Cardinals
Speaker 1: at home last week. I'll pay up for them. Are
Speaker 1: there any kind of teams you want to say that
Speaker 1: are still competing or teams that are not competing, um
Speaker 1: that maybe stick out to you at all going into
Speaker 1: Week seventeen? This week, if I've ever seen a team
Speaker 1: with with its ears pinned further back exactly, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be going for it and they need, you know, they
Speaker 1: need they need to win in order to stay viable
Speaker 1: because they could be two, three or four in the NFC.
Speaker 1: Team I'm looking at though, that could really show up
Speaker 1: big this week. There are the Washington Redskins. I think
Speaker 1: Burt Cousins comes out, and I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: Genoras Jenkin is gonna right. If you're the Giants and
Speaker 1: you're locked into the five seed, you're you're resting Genora's
Speaker 1: Jenkins a little bit more. And Kirk Cousins, you know
Speaker 1: that offense is gonna be thrown. Oh yeah, absolutely, They're
Speaker 1: gonna be going all game basically. Saw. I mean, I
Speaker 1: look at Kirk Cousins this week as a cold as
Speaker 1: a guy that I would like to put some money
Speaker 1: on at least. Yeah, I like that. I like that,
Speaker 1: and you know Kirk Cousins likes that. I also, I'm
Speaker 1: looking for a couple of interesting things here Coltrane as
Speaker 1: it relates to the Corks of Week seventeen, I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be another volume play in that same division.
Speaker 1: I like Carson Wentz as a bargain dfs um game.
Speaker 1: I know, like the Eagles have nothing to play for,
Speaker 1: but Carson once he's getting that experience. He has Lane
Speaker 1: Johnson back as his tackle. And the Eagles have all
Speaker 1: three of their starting running backs like on I R already,
Speaker 1: when they'll Smallwood gone, Ryan Matthews gone, Kenyan barn are
Speaker 1: even gone, the only people are gonna be Darren Sproles
Speaker 1: and another undrafted free agent rookie. They're gonna put the
Speaker 1: ball up. We've seen Carson want to throw the ball
Speaker 1: even sixty times in recent weeks. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: try to beat the Dallas Cowboys so they can go
Speaker 1: into some momentum with their rookie quarterback saying that they
Speaker 1: won two games in a row on you know, against
Speaker 1: division rivals. We're going to the playoffs, and the way
Speaker 1: to beat the Cowboys is through the air. I think
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is gonna throw, throw, throw, and there's some
Speaker 1: production there now if you want to crown them, crowned
Speaker 1: her ass. But they are who we thought they were,
Speaker 1: and we got so many things to actually consider. In
Speaker 1: week seventeen when we come back, we're gonna hear from Rocks,
Speaker 1: who was on vacation all the way out in Cuba.
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you that DFS lineup. This is a
Speaker 1: crazy week. We're right before the playoffs. Three of the
Speaker 1: six teams in the a f C needs actually build
Speaker 1: chemistry with backup quarterbacks. I don't think we've ever seen
Speaker 1: that before. We got a lot to discuss. We got
Speaker 1: cold train filling in. I'm your boys, Fees is spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Rocks right after the break. We're dropping
Speaker 1: stats over beats. This is the Fantasy Freestyle on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hello, you play to win the game,
Speaker 1: you don't play to just play it. You know what
Speaker 1: it is. This is your boys Fees spitting statistician. We're
Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy Freestyle now for
Speaker 1: all of y'all who want to get your Rocks fixing.
Speaker 1: And I guess there's some people that listen to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle and here Rocks. Your Rocks is in Cuba,
Speaker 1: but he was nice enough to bless you on the
Speaker 1: holidays with a good Week seventeen DFS lineup. In some takes,
Speaker 1: I will say this though, he sent that to me
Speaker 1: early before he left the country. And I will say
Speaker 1: that he recorded this before the news of Rex Ryan
Speaker 1: leaving getting fired in Buffalo. We'll take you with a
Speaker 1: grain assault of what Rocks always gives you that fire
Speaker 1: to win your league and win that cash. Young fist
Speaker 1: full of rings, Let's hear what Rocks has to say
Speaker 1: in Cuba about Week seventeen. Now, if you want to
Speaker 1: crown them the crowner ash, but they are who we
Speaker 1: thought they were. Wet kuda THUNKI yo. Week seventeen. If
Speaker 1: you're still rocking with us, hold your head. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of you are probably on a tropical beach
Speaker 1: somewhere spending that cash that you won this season listening
Speaker 1: to Rocks and Speeds on the Fantasy Freestyle Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network, because we gave you what you needed all
Speaker 1: season to win your league and win that cash. I
Speaker 1: know some of you you just really have insatiabal appetites
Speaker 1: for cash, and you just want to play that DFS
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen, and I totally understand, a, Yo, That's
Speaker 1: why I am here rocking with you. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of different ways you can normally approach a regular week
Speaker 1: in the NFL. However, of course, Week seventeen is a
Speaker 1: completely different animal the way I look and look at it.
Speaker 1: The most obvious way is obviously teams that need to
Speaker 1: be winning and then they are in the playoffs, and
Speaker 1: teams who are still jockeying for playoff position. However, you
Speaker 1: would be very very shortsighted and cutting off a good
Speaker 1: deal of the league if that was all that you
Speaker 1: looked for going into Week seventeen. There's a number of
Speaker 1: different situations around the league really where you can take
Speaker 1: advantage of teams that are probably not going to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Basically, you'll be looking at teams that have
Speaker 1: an opportunity, whether it's their head coach who maybe wants
Speaker 1: to get their quarterback a little bit of reps, whether
Speaker 1: it's maybe a situation where you might see a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: maybe a guy like Steve Smith who might actually be
Speaker 1: playing his last game in the NFL and they're for
Speaker 1: You're going to want to see what their prices look
Speaker 1: like in the DFS and think about whether or not
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of that for sentimental reasons. Also,
Speaker 1: don't get it twisted. There's a coach, and I could
Speaker 1: think of one right off the top of my head
Speaker 1: in Buffalo who really might be playing for a job
Speaker 1: next year. Hello. That is definitely something you want to
Speaker 1: take into consideration, unless, of course, you think it's a
Speaker 1: situation where the players have quit on the coach. That
Speaker 1: is to say, a lot of people will just be
Speaker 1: giving you that straight up. You don't want to be
Speaker 1: in any situation where they may rest their guys advice.
Speaker 1: Not not not. We're going a lot deeper than that
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle, as we always do. We do
Speaker 1: not just give you a fish, homeboy, We're teaching you
Speaker 1: how to fish. So on that NOTEO, get your tackle
Speaker 1: box right, because I'm about to give you a DFS
Speaker 1: lineup for Week seventeen that I think is gonna help
Speaker 1: you win your league and win that cash. AO. Let's
Speaker 1: put it this way. Kirk Cousins has really been a
Speaker 1: divisive person in the fantasy community this year. However, Washington
Speaker 1: is one of those teams that still has a glimmer
Speaker 1: of hope going into Week seventeen at seventy against the
Speaker 1: New York Giants, team that's already locked into their wild
Speaker 1: card spot. I really really like him in this one
Speaker 1: there at home, where he's played better this year, and
Speaker 1: the Giants have already signaled that, you know what, maybe
Speaker 1: they may rest some starters. I honestly think that they're
Speaker 1: probably going to be resting starters along a banged up defense,
Speaker 1: the chief among them Genera Shankins, who still still still
Speaker 1: not a percent. There's no need to rush him back.
Speaker 1: And while the Giants have really made a historic turnaround
Speaker 1: on the defense this year, they've still been a lot
Speaker 1: better against the rush than they have against the past.
Speaker 1: I think there's an exploitable matchup for kirk Cousins. And also, Yo,
Speaker 1: did I mention you should also look to players who
Speaker 1: are playing in a contract. Yere kirk Cousin got tagged
Speaker 1: this year. He's making a night nice amount of money. However,
Speaker 1: the Red Seines are talking about maybe his hand him again.
Speaker 1: I think he wants one of those nice long term
Speaker 1: deals with about sixty or seventy million guaranteed a great
Speaker 1: effort against the Giants in Week seventeen. Putting a little
Speaker 1: bit more of that on film would definitely give Washington
Speaker 1: or another team a little bit more confidence that he
Speaker 1: can be that dude moving right along Ao Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: They didn't really do it this year, but you know
Speaker 1: who did, David Johnson. David Johnson has been setting all
Speaker 1: sorts of records for the Arizona Cardinals this year, and
Speaker 1: if he gets a hundred yards from scrimmage, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be passing Barry Sanders and Edrin James, both of whom
Speaker 1: did it for fifteen games in a row for the
Speaker 1: most in a row in one season. I feel like
Speaker 1: they want to go out on a high note. He
Speaker 1: has really been, outside of Larry Fitzgerald, particularly early in
Speaker 1: the season, the main thing that Arizona Cardinals fans can
Speaker 1: hold their head on this year. The l A Rams
Speaker 1: have basically been in retreat mode for the last six
Speaker 1: seven weeks. Jared Goff is terrible. I think Arizona is
Speaker 1: going to be living in the red zone on the
Speaker 1: one even if they're taking it easy, and I think, again,
Speaker 1: this is about the player. It's not about the game.
Speaker 1: It reminds me a little bit of when the Titans
Speaker 1: were trying to get Chris Johnson two thousand yards a
Speaker 1: couple of years back, even in games that didn't mean anything,
Speaker 1: they were feeding him the ball and making sure he
Speaker 1: got it. The sky is really the limit on David
Speaker 1: Johnson as long as he gets touches, and I don't
Speaker 1: see any reason why they're not going to give him
Speaker 1: touches in this one. And at the very very least,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put his floor at like a hundred
Speaker 1: five to a hundred ten yards in this one, and
Speaker 1: I think it's definite that he scores a touchdown. You
Speaker 1: may even see some fireworks. I love the blow up potential.
Speaker 1: My second running back this week at hundred, I really
Speaker 1: liked Tevin Coleman against the New Orleans Saints. Atlanta is
Speaker 1: at home again, another one of those teams that has
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, but his jockeying for positions so they've
Speaker 1: got something to play for. Coleman ripped the Saints for
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in Week three, and he's the exact sort
Speaker 1: of running back that they've had trouble with all year.
Speaker 1: He has the ability to both break tackles in the
Speaker 1: open field, then also hit a seam and before gone.
Speaker 1: I do not like this matchup at all as a
Speaker 1: Saints man, and I also think that there's no reason
Speaker 1: for the Falcons to really be pressuring Julio to play
Speaker 1: heavy snaps other than you know, they want to make
Speaker 1: sure he gets a little bit of rapport with Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: I don't even really see a huge deal for them
Speaker 1: to continue to push the ball down field and expose
Speaker 1: Matt and Ryan's hits. I think they're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to do it against the Saints on the ground, and
Speaker 1: I really think that Tevin Coleman is going to be
Speaker 1: the guy getting the carries in the second half. Really
Speaker 1: love this matchup, and again the price is right at
Speaker 1: sixty four hundred. The Saints or who you look forward
Speaker 1: to make big plays, who you target, and I really
Speaker 1: think Coleman is a great, great, great target there. The
Speaker 1: big game, the big game that we know about Week
Speaker 1: seventeen is going to be Green Bays traveling from the
Speaker 1: frozen tundra to Ford Fields to the friendly confines of
Speaker 1: Ford Field to play Detroit. Is going to be the
Speaker 1: last game of the season. I'm assuming they flex that
Speaker 1: out on Sunday night at eight thirty, and I like
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson eighty two hundred in a must win game
Speaker 1: for green Bay. You know, green Bay's offense has been
Speaker 1: dialed in, the recipes are completely correct, the assembly line
Speaker 1: is moving like clockwork. And that's basically been a rod
Speaker 1: to Jordy Nelson. I see no reason why he cannot
Speaker 1: continue it in this one, and I think, just you know,
Speaker 1: he's just been beastick. He's the guy that Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: looks to when things have got to get done. And
Speaker 1: there's not been a bigger spot this season for this
Speaker 1: team where things have got to get done. Jordy Nelson
Speaker 1: big spot. You're gonna watch your DFS lineup go from
Speaker 1: like high finishers to like, oh my god. Once Jordy
Speaker 1: blows up for a touchdown against the Lions, it's going
Speaker 1: to be a long one. In that same game, I
Speaker 1: really really like Golden Tape on the Detroit Lions. Detroit
Speaker 1: has really not done too much down the field too
Speaker 1: much lately. The running game has been in shambles. However,
Speaker 1: I do think Golden Tate at fifty dred is a
Speaker 1: ridiculous value. I could see very very easily Greek based
Speaker 1: spending a decent amount of time in the second half
Speaker 1: in the prevent defense. And you know what shifty, fast
Speaker 1: guys in the open field that golden tape do is
Speaker 1: eight up yards after the catch in a prevent defense.
Speaker 1: I really really like the floor that he's been showing lately.
Speaker 1: He only has three touchdowns, but he's one of those
Speaker 1: guys who's really been very very unlucky in terms of
Speaker 1: getting tackled inside the ten, inside the five on a
Speaker 1: lot of long gainers, so it's certainly something that could
Speaker 1: pop at any point. I also think he's been peppered
Speaker 1: with targets really for the last eight to ten games.
Speaker 1: I don't see any reason why that doesn't continue. And
Speaker 1: I really think Matts Stafford trusts him, and if theoretic
Speaker 1: happens to miss this game, that even just bolts him
Speaker 1: even further up those high floor options. I love him
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver three with wide receiver two upside
Speaker 1: in DFS a week seventeen, speaking of upside, all, Matt
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett was really starting to get into that same
Speaker 1: group that he was in last year. In that Seattle
Speaker 1: passing off vents and unfortunately he's done for the season.
Speaker 1: He's got some leg issues and all man, he's limping
Speaker 1: all over the place. However, enter Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldon
Speaker 1: was doing it on less targets this year, and he
Speaker 1: was actually really starting to kill Ish already, and now
Speaker 1: lock It is out. He actually saw percent of the
Speaker 1: total team targets last week after lock It went down.
Speaker 1: And this is a game again with Seattle. Team needs
Speaker 1: to win there on the road against a historically poor
Speaker 1: San Francisco defense. They're primarily susceptible to the run, but
Speaker 1: all of Seattle's main backs are either banged up or
Speaker 1: on I r it's probably going to be a couple
Speaker 1: of carries for roles and then maybe you'll see the
Speaker 1: new guy, Alex Collins mix in a little bit. I
Speaker 1: think though, you're gonna see your boy Russ going to
Speaker 1: the guy that he trusts, Doug Baldwin down the field
Speaker 1: on those short slants, on those little screens, basically moving
Speaker 1: the ball through the air. With Doug Baldwin, I think
Speaker 1: he's got huge upside in this one. And again the
Speaker 1: floor is so high because of the target situation. Love
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin I think he's a great bet for a
Speaker 1: touchdown against the San Francisco, the team that is really
Speaker 1: not even trying to win. And I don't even say
Speaker 1: that sarcastically. They're not trying to win. I'm gonna kind
Speaker 1: of go to a place where maybe we take it
Speaker 1: a little bit of sentimental. Kansas City has been really,
Speaker 1: really good against the tight end all year. Kansas City
Speaker 1: is another team that could basically, if things break right
Speaker 1: for them, Kansas City could wind up with the first
Speaker 1: round by it and the way that they've played this year,
Speaker 1: I think that they deserve it, and particularly with the
Speaker 1: Raiders not having Derek Carr, who knows what's going to
Speaker 1: be going on. They play against the San Diego Chargers
Speaker 1: team that has nothing to play for. It's been a
Speaker 1: complete lost year and they've been killed by injuries. However,
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates continues to have that mind melt connection with
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. You saw it last week against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: He was looking to him like crazy, and honestly, this
Speaker 1: really maybe the last game that Gates plays. That also
Speaker 1: made the last game that Gates plays in San Diego,
Speaker 1: depending on what goes on there. I know Kansas City
Speaker 1: has been locking down the tight end position all year.
Speaker 1: It's not a great matchup. They're gonna be throwing the ball. However,
Speaker 1: call it a hunch, call it a leap of faith,
Speaker 1: call it me just calling it what I want to
Speaker 1: have happened. But I really think the Gates is a
Speaker 1: great shot for a touchdown and then some in this one,
Speaker 1: and at fifty eight hundred for that lower to mid
Speaker 1: price tight end, I really think he's gonna get targets
Speaker 1: regardless of whether he's covered. He's still proven he has
Speaker 1: the ability to be one of the better red zone
Speaker 1: threats in the NFL. And I think the old veteran
Speaker 1: gets one more from Philip Rivers in this one and
Speaker 1: makes himself a great play for fifty eight hundred real quick.
Speaker 1: I like Will Lootz as a kicker on New Orleans.
Speaker 1: He's actually been kicking a little bit better, getting more
Speaker 1: elevation on those kicks he was getting blocked, and the
Speaker 1: wart looking so good early in the year. They're playing
Speaker 1: against Atlanta in the in the Georgia Dome. He should
Speaker 1: have a couple of opportunities to kick some field goals,
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned earlier, I like that Rex Ryan
Speaker 1: defense and a little bit of a revenge game hello
Speaker 1: against the New York Jets at home hundred on fan duel.
Speaker 1: The Jet will be playing in uh A MetLife Stadium,
Speaker 1: but it's it's gonna be Ryan Fitzpatrick or unless they
Speaker 1: really want to get crazy, maybe Christian Hackenburg. Either one
Speaker 1: of them are a clear, clear, clear team to attack
Speaker 1: from a DFS perspective. On the defensive side, you know,
Speaker 1: the Jets are really in shambles on offense. Forte is hurt, blah,
Speaker 1: Powell has been ineffective lately, Brandon Marshall is banged up,
Speaker 1: you know, and Fitzpatrick doesn't want to hold onto the ball.
Speaker 1: He has an all year. So I think they're a
Speaker 1: great opportunity to really really if they want to try
Speaker 1: and maybe make a statement hero. So there you have it.
Speaker 1: That's a quick DFS lineup for you and some ideas
Speaker 1: that I've got heading into week seventeen. I just do
Speaker 1: want to say to everyone listening to us rocking with us,
Speaker 1: I hope that you had a happy holiday, regardless of
Speaker 1: what it is that you celebrate, and I will wish
Speaker 1: all of you a happy New Year. On behalf of
Speaker 1: Speeds This is rock Swan fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. We're gonna be back stronger than ever
Speaker 1: in two thousand seven teen. Hey, somebody is running on
Speaker 1: the field, some goose falling a half and a red shirt.
Speaker 1: Now he takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle.
Speaker 1: By the fifty. He's at the thirty. He's bear chested
Speaker 1: and banging his chest, and he runs the opposite away.
Speaker 1: He runs to the fifty. He run to the forty.
Speaker 1: The guy is drunk, but there he goes the twenty.
Speaker 1: They're chasing up. They're not gonna get up, bleaving his arms,
Speaker 1: par chested, somebody's stopped. Now here comes the blue gg
Speaker 1: They got him. Here comes out a little girls. How
Speaker 1: are they tackled about the forty yard line? I cannot
Speaker 1: play with him, cannot win with him, cannot coach with him.
Speaker 1: Can't do it. You already know what it is. That's
Speaker 1: your voice, Spees. That's been statistician coming into week seventeen,
Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy for style here
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You just heard from
Speaker 1: Rocks one young fist full of rings all the way
Speaker 1: out in Cuba, seeing if he can get more than
Speaker 1: just rains, get that rum out there probably holding him down. Uh.
Speaker 1: In the new year, I'm back with our special guest host,
Speaker 1: coal Train, and he's gonna be joining me for do
Speaker 1: you know what it is? Our flagship segments here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna give you our diamonds in
Speaker 1: the rough, our game flow genius, and our fantasy food ghazies.
Speaker 1: Forget about it for week seventeen. Hey, Cole, why don't
Speaker 1: you bless them? We were talking a little bit off
Speaker 1: air and you had a diamond that I really really light,
Speaker 1: So why don't you give him your first diamond for
Speaker 1: a week seventeen? Well, my diamond for week seventeens gotta
Speaker 1: be shoul Queeze Rogerson. I love that play to speak
Speaker 1: with Doug Martin officially done for the season and possibly
Speaker 1: for the next stream in the next four games next
Speaker 1: season with the suspension coming up and everything in between.
Speaker 1: Where that Carolina depense has been susceptible to the run
Speaker 1: all year to Queens, Rogers has run. Well, he's not
Speaker 1: a guy's gonna be owned very many leagues now that
Speaker 1: Doug Martin was back. But if you can get him.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a big play this week
Speaker 1: coming up things from no doubt, especially like we said,
Speaker 1: with Cameron Brad moving to the I R. And obviously
Speaker 1: they all know, everyone knows that Mike Evans will get
Speaker 1: a ton of targets in Week seventeen against the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 1: and that defense, like I said, like you said, have
Speaker 1: been a little bit exposed this year, and still they
Speaker 1: are likely going to sit out Louke keikly And that's
Speaker 1: an interesting question. What you do there when people have
Speaker 1: like the concussions. Well, you know, if you just keep
Speaker 1: resting and sitting them out, he probably will not play.
Speaker 1: And then you brought up the Doug Martin issue, uh Coltrane,
Speaker 1: and I think that's very intriguing. You know, not only
Speaker 1: um is he suspended for four games, but it sounded
Speaker 1: like Doug Martin said he was gonna try to appeal
Speaker 1: the suspension and then people and teammates and people close
Speaker 1: to him told him not man, and instead he entered
Speaker 1: a rehab facility. It seems the drug in question is
Speaker 1: actually at a roll Coltrane that he is um, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of abusing. What's interesting about this also is The
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks signed Doug Martin to a five year,
Speaker 1: thirty plus million dollar deal just last offseason. They have
Speaker 1: four years left on a contract with the muscle Hamster
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, so you gotta figure they will expend all
Speaker 1: their resources to try to get him right. Even though
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss the next one I guess three games
Speaker 1: next year. It's still for the long play. You gotta
Speaker 1: protect your investment and wrap your arms around Doug Martin
Speaker 1: in this situation if you're the Tampa Bay Bucks, right, Coltrane, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't let the muscle hamster get away
Speaker 1: from you. The guy's God thinks got a lot of skill,
Speaker 1: you knowing time over time again still come back. But
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, it is what it is. It's
Speaker 1: a it's an unfortunate set of circumstances for him. We
Speaker 1: hope that he gets the help that he needs. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this is it. If
Speaker 1: we're talking about week seventeen, right right, this is week seventeen.
Speaker 1: Other people arresting, Other people are arresting just because they
Speaker 1: were arresting for the playoffs. This guy is going to
Speaker 1: a treatment facility. We're praying for you, Doug Bart, hope
Speaker 1: everything goes well. You know my diamond in the rough
Speaker 1: four seven team. You know what, I like this guy
Speaker 1: at tight end. This is a guy who has shown
Speaker 1: a history of building at the end of the season.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who I think last year also
Speaker 1: had a great last month. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: is building a relationship with his young quarterback. And I
Speaker 1: already told you earlier than the show that I think
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is going to throw the ball about fifty
Speaker 1: times on Sunday, and I think his number one target
Speaker 1: is going to be Zack Hurts, and I think Zach
Speaker 1: Ertz is my diamond in the rough on Week seventeen.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this guy Um has been heavily targeted
Speaker 1: by by Carson Wentz and you can get him for
Speaker 1: only fifty nine hundred in that matchup at home against
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Like I said before, the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: past defense is susceptible. Um and the Philadelphia Eagles are
Speaker 1: a much better team at home, and they will be
Speaker 1: home on Week seventeen, the Cowboys in the NFL against
Speaker 1: the past. I like that matchup. I think Um in
Speaker 1: a week where there are not a lot of tight ends,
Speaker 1: you know, like Jordan Reids still injured, Greg Olsen is questionable.
Speaker 1: Effort has been moved to I R. Do you want
Speaker 1: to pay up for Travis Kelsey or do you want
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of value If you do,
Speaker 1: I like zach Bert's at dred He's my diamond in
Speaker 1: the rough full Week seventeen and Rocks and all of
Speaker 1: the listeners of the Fantasy Freestyle would know that I
Speaker 1: have been hot giving tight ends at value all season long.
Speaker 1: But even now, some of my guys that I've been
Speaker 1: given you, guys like Cameron brad are how guys like
Speaker 1: la Darius Green, who I've been calling for you are
Speaker 1: now out even though he's out of the concussion protocol.
Speaker 1: Egill probably rested as well for the wild card games.
Speaker 1: So I think that this is the way to go.
Speaker 1: Zach ERT's diamonds in the Rough Week seventeen. What do
Speaker 1: you feel about birds? I know you know as a
Speaker 1: as a Giants fan, it might be hard for you
Speaker 1: to compliment uh An Eagle, but you know that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys of defense can set by the time absolutely and
Speaker 1: you know zach Ertz has looked great and play Blues
Speaker 1: look even there than the guy throwing the battle. In
Speaker 1: the past two weeks, will slaying Johnson came back as
Speaker 1: true is Carson Wentzl was fantastic against the Giants events
Speaker 1: that was playing for everything. Yeah. Absolutely, And I think,
Speaker 1: like I said Volume Ray in Week seven, team, you've
Speaker 1: got to find out the places where you know, people
Speaker 1: have motivation. There's other motivations, you know, before we get
Speaker 1: into before we get into a game. Flu geniuses with
Speaker 1: flu Gates, I gotta I gotta give um something else.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a couple of people where there's there's
Speaker 1: milestones on the line. Okay. You know Melvin Gordon is
Speaker 1: hustling back to try to play in week seventeen because
Speaker 1: he got injured a few weeks ago. He finished. He
Speaker 1: has nine hundred and nineties seven yards rushing so far
Speaker 1: this year. You know, I think he's hustlings back trying
Speaker 1: to get over that thousand. Mark Antonio Gates, even though
Speaker 1: he has said he's gonna come back next year, he's
Speaker 1: only one touchdown shy of the tight end touchdown record.
Speaker 1: I think Philip Rivers is gonna try to pump him
Speaker 1: with a lot of red zone targets. I think Antonio
Speaker 1: Gates would also be a nice diamond and the rough
Speaker 1: and another one I like Kansas City Chiefs running back
Speaker 1: Spencer ware Um meets about eighty yards to get the thousand,
Speaker 1: and I think that would be a nice streshold to remember,
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs playing against San Diego in a
Speaker 1: stadium that I think will be more read than lightning bolt,
Speaker 1: even though sadly enough it is the last game for
Speaker 1: San Diego, likely in that city. I wonder, I wonder
Speaker 1: how that will be. But you know, let's turn our
Speaker 1: attention now to some people, some some people that our
Speaker 1: listeners need to avoid cold train here in the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Who are who
Speaker 1: are some fool gazes that we need to forget about
Speaker 1: the Week seventeen where you don't think and I know
Speaker 1: you're thinking a little bit broader because here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Feast that what we always say is we do
Speaker 1: not give people a fish, We teach them how to fish.
Speaker 1: And in this situation on Week seventeen, you're talking about
Speaker 1: avoiding a whole chunk of people, right, cul Trainez, how
Speaker 1: do you know it's foodazing was looking for cruse seconds
Speaker 1: should think. On Week seventeen, I avoid anybody who's clinched.
Speaker 1: I avoid let's just go to the list, Dak Prescott, Zekel, Yeah, Dallas,
Speaker 1: they're gonna park the bus and get away. That's why,
Speaker 1: to be honest, called trains. The Cowboys went from one
Speaker 1: point favorites on the road to Philly becoming a five
Speaker 1: point favorite at home because they know they're gonna arrest
Speaker 1: that that that young backfield, that Pro Bowl MVP contending
Speaker 1: backfield of Dallas. Absolutely, I you know, I it's the
Speaker 1: same same way with I avoid Tom Brady. I avoid
Speaker 1: guys like let's see, I mean, I am boy Spencer
Speaker 1: wearing to be honest with you, even with the milestone
Speaker 1: coming up, Um, they gotta play, though, because remember the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs from the Oakland Raiders actually still have
Speaker 1: the division up for grabs and potentially a bye. They
Speaker 1: could be the two seed or they could be a
Speaker 1: wild card, So they are in fact playing, and I
Speaker 1: think that's a big difference. But there are You're right though,
Speaker 1: there are definitely some other teams, man, like the New
Speaker 1: York Football Giants, And that leaves me to my fool
Speaker 1: gaze for a week seventeen, and I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: the truth. The Giants are locked into the five seeds.
Speaker 1: They're going to be traveling um on the road, probably
Speaker 1: to the NFC North champion, and I would sit this
Speaker 1: week Olddell Beckham Jr. Listen. And the thing is not
Speaker 1: only because of this clicking, but as we know, in
Speaker 1: a big game for the for the Washington team where
Speaker 1: they have to win in Washington, they have Josh Norman
Speaker 1: who will likely be covering Oldell Beckham for a lot
Speaker 1: of this game. You know their history. We don't want
Speaker 1: to get into that. But here's the thing. Oldell has
Speaker 1: too much on the line, too much to risk, and
Speaker 1: there's a chance that you know, there could be a bruhaha,
Speaker 1: there could be a suspension, there could be an injury,
Speaker 1: there could be something that comes that becomes a distraction
Speaker 1: for the New York Football Giants next weeks in their
Speaker 1: wild card matchup. And for that reason alone, I think
Speaker 1: O'Dell needs to go on his honeymoon with the kicking
Speaker 1: net and take a rest this week. I think he's
Speaker 1: my food gazing and I think eventually in the game,
Speaker 1: the first time there's any kind of weird animosity or
Speaker 1: any kind of flare up. It's gonna be like, thanks, O'Dell.
Speaker 1: Now you sit down, and if you have him in
Speaker 1: fantasy or if you played him in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form in DFSC, you're gonna be piste off Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham food gazing forget about it. Oh, that was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a nutcase, you know, as a giant
Speaker 1: spread I watched every week. I you're probably right, probably
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting down for most of the game, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, just because why risking there's no
Speaker 1: benefit from him playing beside old personal pride, which we
Speaker 1: know it gets in the way most department you way
Speaker 1: to be honest, to be honest with you, it's just
Speaker 1: it's more it's more about self preservation in weeks seventeen
Speaker 1: than anything else. Yep. And this can play itself out
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. I go to the Buffalo
Speaker 1: New York Jets game. The quarterback decisions there are playing
Speaker 1: themselves out in completely different ways. On the Buffalo side
Speaker 1: of things, you have tyrods. They are being benched in
Speaker 1: favor of d J manual. That does not send the
Speaker 1: signal that they're trying to win the game. What they're
Speaker 1: trying to do is protect their financial asset, and for
Speaker 1: some reason Tyrod Taylor gets hurt that triggers they could
Speaker 1: trigger an option where they have to pay him thirty
Speaker 1: million dollars. It reminds me of years past where r
Speaker 1: G three and Colin Kaepernick were just bench because they
Speaker 1: didn't want him to get hurt because they didn't want
Speaker 1: to have like contract things going on. And on the
Speaker 1: Jet side of things, unbelievably, the New York Jets are
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and start lying Fitzpatrick in week
Speaker 1: seventeen and it looks like rookie second year pit and
Speaker 1: Christian Hackenberg will not see the field at all. I
Speaker 1: think they're doing this for the reason of this way.
Speaker 1: You always have hope of like what's behind door number three.
Speaker 1: If they went out there and Christian Hackenburg looked even
Speaker 1: worse than Rice Petty, it would it would do that
Speaker 1: Mike mcagnet, you know, kind of strategy and pick. And
Speaker 1: also they wouldn't be able to, you know, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to say that maybe we can still develop him.
Speaker 1: It would be kind of an adibition that they piste
Speaker 1: away on the second round pick. So very interesting to
Speaker 1: see how these things play out in so many different
Speaker 1: games called what about a game like you know, like
Speaker 1: Chicago Minnesota where Matt Barkley is competing trying to put
Speaker 1: things on film, So maybe other teams might want him
Speaker 1: as a backup or something against Sam Bradford in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: who's been getting you know, hammered all season long behind
Speaker 1: an offensive line. What are you doing these kinds of situations? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you've gotta it depends on your situation. That's
Speaker 1: the problem these games. I mean, I think, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: talking about so let's back to the Jets for example.
Speaker 1: Of you. You will be honest though, if you're a
Speaker 1: Jets fan, you already kind of know what you got. Hackenberg.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why you haven't played this year, I guess,
Speaker 1: so we kind of know what you is at this point.
Speaker 1: He's not a good quarterback. He's not right. It's playing
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's been for two years now. No,
Speaker 1: that's Petty Hackenburg. We don't know about the Petty we
Speaker 1: know is not ready. But but Hackenburg and they're not
Speaker 1: even gonna run Hackenburg out there. You gotta throw them
Speaker 1: out there at some point though, Damn That's that's the thing.
Speaker 1: That's why I think that we kind of wet the
Speaker 1: ti't we We know, we haven't pet Hackenburg at this
Speaker 1: point because they're not throwing them out there. Yeah, I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess maybe it's they don't want to. They don't
Speaker 1: want to soil their reputation further. The last thing we
Speaker 1: got to get them here, thought is left for the Jets.
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, you can't if you throw
Speaker 1: a Fitzpatrick out there, you're not giving your fan base
Speaker 1: anything at all to rely on. And I think at
Speaker 1: a certain point the ownership has gotta give it, got
Speaker 1: to give their fans something to be even remotely happy about.
Speaker 1: All right. So yeah, I mean he's order back positions
Speaker 1: all across the land in week seventeen. Very intriguing. But
Speaker 1: we have one thing left to do here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle when we drop in statue of the Beats
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle and Fantasy Sports Radio Network ROXES in Cuba,
Speaker 1: he gave you a DFS lineup. We still have our
Speaker 1: game flow genius and Coltrane. They know what they're doing
Speaker 1: out there in the desert out there in Vegas, and
Speaker 1: they have put an astronomical line on this Saints Falcons game.
Speaker 1: Uh a fifty six over under total in the Dome.
Speaker 1: You got Matt Ryan, you know, potential MVP candidate against
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, who you know leaves the league in passing,
Speaker 1: second in touchdowns, yet somehow did not get a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl nomination. We think there's a lot of points gonna
Speaker 1: be scored in that game. I think I can find
Speaker 1: a game flow genius or two out of there. You
Speaker 1: like anybody in that game as a game flow genius,
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees because they're gonna be throwing, throwing. I mean,
Speaker 1: I like Matt Ryan too, but I think I think
Speaker 1: in a certain if the game gets too crazy, out
Speaker 1: of control things are happening, and I think Matt ryany
Speaker 1: begets take it out because well, again, why are we
Speaker 1: risking playoff? Are MBB quarterback for the playoffs? I think
Speaker 1: Drew Brees throws all game. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I think he's a lot to be honest. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: Drew Brees indoors. Has you know you know you make
Speaker 1: money with Drew Brees indoors. I would I like what
Speaker 1: you're saying, Coltrane, and I would think that you don't remember.
Speaker 1: The other person on Atlanta that you really have to
Speaker 1: be careful of is Julio Jones. Julio Jones has missed
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Julio Jones is just coming back, and um,
Speaker 1: I could see Julio Jones also getting an early book
Speaker 1: in this game. And that's why one of my game
Speaker 1: flow geniuses is Tevin Coleman. I think Tevin Coleman, you know,
Speaker 1: he's been healthy now the last couple of weeks, coming back,
Speaker 1: growing in his role. He went off in the last
Speaker 1: game in ninety yards at a touchdown, I think against
Speaker 1: a bad Saints defense. Then Tvin Coleman is someone who
Speaker 1: could be an interesting value, could get you in the
Speaker 1: end zone. You know. Gavonte Freeman is big. If you
Speaker 1: want to pay up for hair on Fansuel in these
Speaker 1: other daily fantasy sites, you could always do that as well.
Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna try to eventually at some
Speaker 1: point park the bus and get out of there. And
Speaker 1: I don't think Atlanta is gonna throw as much. I
Speaker 1: like your goal of breeze over. Um, Matt Ryan, we
Speaker 1: will you know my fantasy like kind of you know,
Speaker 1: most outstanding player. There was another guy you wanted to
Speaker 1: shout out. You know, this year has been Levan Bell,
Speaker 1: has been a Zepia Elliott, and it's been this last
Speaker 1: guy who's been incredibly consistent weekend week out, And I
Speaker 1: know you want to tip your cap to David Johnson, right, Coltran,
Speaker 1: David Johnson, can can you be the perfect fantasy player? Is? Does?
Speaker 1: Does such a thing exists? Because if there ever was
Speaker 1: a player, it's David Johnson's who thousand and seventy nine
Speaker 1: yards combined yards rushing, receiving, twenty combined touchdowns. For David
Speaker 1: Johnson this year absolutely is you are number one pick
Speaker 1: next year. Over even like Levyan Bell or Zeke Elliott.
Speaker 1: I think this year proved that David Johnson is absolutely
Speaker 1: worth the number one pick and not only just steven
Speaker 1: running backs should dominate the top four picks of next
Speaker 1: year's draft be in my honest opinion, absolutely we got
Speaker 1: the three of the three running backs I named. And
Speaker 1: what was your fourth that you put in that year?
Speaker 1: Right there? M M, that's a good question. I I'm
Speaker 1: hesitant about putting Shady in there. Shady McCoy has been incredible.
Speaker 1: To Marco Murray has at a grate here as well.
Speaker 1: You know those guys will probably be able to come back. Obviously.
Speaker 1: Rule number one we say here on the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: cultrain is no your settings and PPR leagues. You still
Speaker 1: want to get those wide outs like Lulio, Joe's, Antonio Brown,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and even guys like Mike Evans. But obviously
Speaker 1: those are the running backs that are going to be
Speaker 1: helping you next year. Um, the people that have been
Speaker 1: listening to us this year have been winning their leagues
Speaker 1: and winning that cash. Shout out again to Maddie g
Speaker 1: who was in two finals, four semifinals of his leagues
Speaker 1: straight up because he listened to Rocks and Speeds on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle and all the winners out there. Yo,

Speaker 1: hashtag Fantasy Freestyle coming out and seal, sometime we'd love
