And we have Twitter polls up like every day. 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.640 Okay at Spitting Speeds at F and T s Y Radio. 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.200 Today we are talking. We've talked about the wide receivers 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.039 earlier this week, we are moving on to another position. No, 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.920 it is not reverse cow girl. The position we're talking 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.720 about today is tight end. We're gonna talk about our 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.280 tight end diamonds in the rough. I got a couple 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.200 of options on the poll. Do you like Eric Ebron, 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.160 Do you like Hunter Henry? Do you like Austin Hooper? 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.280 Do you like someone else? Let us know. We're getting 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.160 a great response on Twitter right here, right now, already 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.200 a lot of people talking about diamonds in the rough 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.880 for tight ends. I'm gonna give you a couple of 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.160 guys that I think you can target and why you 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.840 can wait. I got some people that are not even 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.640 being drafted at all in twelve team leagues that I 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.160 think could return some value before we get into my 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.360 tight ends. When we come back on our first segment, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.640 what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about what 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.200 is next for a couple of players in the NFL 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.000 where I guess a player who's not actually in the 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.680 NFL right now, what is next for Zeke Elliott? And 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.400 why if you are the Cowboys, or if you are 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.520 a fantasy football owner of Zeke Elliott, why you probably 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.919 actually want him to drop this appeal and serve the suspension. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.120 We'll get into that in a little while. And also listen, 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.280 Mike Colin Kaepernick find his way onto an NFL roster. 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.560 There is one m v P who thinks that he should, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.600 and I'm gonna talk about a couple of places where 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:44.200 he might still end up this NFL season. Also, I 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.400 mentioned to you before, J J. Watt is doing big things. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.240 We tipped our cap to him yesterday's show. The fundraising 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.399 continues later on in this episode of Fantasy Freestyle, We're 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.720 gonna get another update from J. J. Watt about the 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.600 fun raising he is doing to help the victims of 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.200 Hurricane Harvey. Okay, we got other news and notes to 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.400 get into. Like I said, we're also going to talk 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.240 about some other championships that have been crowned over the 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.880 last week. And listen, I know fantasy football drafts are 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.679 coming up and coming fast and furious. I know I've 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.960 been in a couple already. There's a couple going on 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.400 right here, right now at Studio thirty four and Rock 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.760 and Riley's in midtown Manhattan.

Sounds like we've got Blake in Dallas. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.240 He's got a question about t Y Hilton. Blake, how 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.160 you do when you're on the Fantasy Freestyle? Which boy 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:22.280 speeds spitting statistician was up? Hey, um drafted in the 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.400 second round. I'm just wondering should I trade him? Like? 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.240 What what did his value do with Andrew Luck and 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.000 his his injury. Yeah, I don't know if you heard 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.080 yesterday's show. Uh, t Y Hilton actually was one of 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.680 my wide receiver gay zees. Someone to forget about. And 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.159 there's a lot of reasons why you talked about the 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.640 implications and the ripple effects of the Andrew luck injury, right, 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.680 and I think that is absolutely huge. Okay, I think 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.960 that is a big fear for any t Y Hilton owner. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.520 But here's the thing, honestly, Blake, there's two other reasons 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.599 that I expect regression from t Y Hilton, and thanks 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.040 for the call. The first is that last season, e 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.360 Y Hilton led the NFL in receiving yards with four 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.760 hundred and forty eight yards. It is natural to expect 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.559 a little bit of regression from that, right. And here's 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:15.800 the other thing. Dante Moncrief was only in nine games 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.440 for the Colts last year. Okay, he at this point 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.960 is expected to be okay and healthy, and being on 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.200 the opposite side of t Y Hilton, that is going 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.800 to take some targets away just by definition. Okay, you're 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.200 gonna have some of the opportunities going to the other 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.440 side of the field. I think that is a under 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.600 under calculated reason why I am also a little bit 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.680 fading t Y Hilton. Listen at some point though, if 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.039 he's still sitting there and like the third round of 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.280 your draft or wherever you were in the second I 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.160 understand taking him. But he is someone who I would 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.160 be frustrated with I think all season long. If you 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.880 can move him, if you can find someone who still 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.320 is high on the Colts and Andrew Luck, go right ahead. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.840 But what you may need to do is package him 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.600 with someone else to go up and get like a 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.479 truly elite wide receiver a Jordy Nelson or you know, 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.000 a Odell Beckham and see if anyone bites on an 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.720 offer like that. But yes, personally, I am down on 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.440 t Y Hilton, not only because of Andrew Luck, but 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.440 because of the natural regression in his receiving yards and 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.880 the fact that Dante Moncrief will be back. He was 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.760 only there for half the season last year. But thank 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.440 you for the call. Right here, as we keep it 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.280 moving on the fantasy freestyle, we got a couple of 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.680 news and notes I want to pass along. Okay. First off, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.600 the Cowboys Texans game that is this week, their fourth 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:38.400 preseason game, has been canceled. Okay, that game was originally 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.640 gonna be in Houston. At first, they decided to move 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.680 it to Dallas in Jerry's World to play the game. Instead, 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.320 they are now canceling it so that the Texans can 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.520 be with their families due to Hurricane Harvey and I 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.440 completely support that decision. People are not you know, your 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.000 real starters are not playing in that fourth game. Anyway. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.880 It could meet in some different things though, for roster 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.920 cutdowns of those teams. Another thing that I think is 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.440 important even for fantasy right now, and I don't talk 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.920 defense and fantasy all that much, but the Browns today 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.680 released former Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Hayden, but he wasn't 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.360 out of a job for long. The Pittsburgh Steelers later 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:20.000 on that today signed Joe Hayden to a three year deal. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.320 I think this is a very interesting move for the 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.360 Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Pittsburgh Steelers can boost up that defense, 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.960 they have one of the most dynamic offenses in all 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.880 of football. I think that this Julian Edelman injury over 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.800 there in New England could knock the Pats down. Jazz 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.559 the touch. Is that enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers to 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.520 contend in the a f C. I kind of think 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.160 it is. When we talk a little bit later on 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.480 next week, when I give you my division winners and 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.920 my Super Bowl and conference champion predictions and m v ps, 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.440 you may hear the name of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.880 important to know a couple of wide receivers are back 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:01.400 in Tennessee. Okay, um Eric Decker and Corey Davis. They 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.640 were both backpracticing today. I think it's very important for 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.320 both of them because remember they are both new to 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.800 this team. They need to build a rapport and a 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.400 chemistry with Marcus Mariota. So I do think that's important 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.120 to keep an eye on who's healthy in Tennessee. The 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:21.040 last thing I'm gonna mention here Ezekiel Elliott's suspension. The 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.000 hearing is going to continue on, It is going to 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.720 drag on. It says they're going to definitely go this week, 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.160 and both sides, it looks like they're digging in. It 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.839 looks like this could be something that takes a long time, 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.720 something that goes to the courts and that sort of thing. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.560 And to be honest, you know, let's get the whole 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:45.240 subject matter aside from a pure fantasy football standpoint. Okay, 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.880 we're not talking about, um, the right and wrong of 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.560 the domestic violence case and all that. I this is 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.240 not the time or place for that. Okay, I'm talking 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:58.640 purely fantasy football. If I'm a Cowboys fan, or if 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.440 I'm gonna Zeke Elliott owner. I want him to drop 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.319 the appeal and just serve the damn six games. And 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:11.120 here's why the problem is. If he doesn't and he's 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.080 appealing and and and all, this is continuing on and 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.840 lingering like a cloud, you never know when the decision 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.360 is going to come. I would rather have the known 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.920 quantity of knowing that Zeke Elliott is gonna miss weeks 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:30.520 one through six, then the potential that a decision comes down, Oh, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.080 I don't know in week twelve or thirteen, and he 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.880 misses three or four games, that would be a problem. 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.480 You don't want that cloud hanging over you as a 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.520 fantasy football owner going into the fantasy football playoffs. I 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.040 want to know when he's missing. And that's about it. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.800 For example, Levian Bell last year, we knew he was 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.520 gonna miss X amount of games, right, and I was 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.920 okay with that. I was like, I he'll still be 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.719 there for me weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. What did 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.400 he do in Week fourteen when you were in the 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.680 first round of your fantasy playoffs? He put up like 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.640 fifty points against the Buffalo Bills in Week fourteen last year. 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.000 That's what's gonna happen. The same thing can almost be 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.160 said for Andrew Luck. I know the call caller before 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.439 we're talking about t Y Hilton, But by the fantasy playoffs, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.840 you gotta figure that Andrew Luck will be on the 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.960 colt at an in rhythm. So that's why it is 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.280 a decent kind of like home run play to think 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.120 about drafting Andrew Luck a little bit later on, right, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.400 But with Zeke you can't have the cloud hanging over. 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.319 I'm telling you right now, if you are a fantasy 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:36.640 football owner of Ezekiel Elliott, him appealing this and prolonging 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.520 the process is your enemy. If that is what happens, 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.559 I might cut bait and run away from Ezekiel Elliott 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.400 because what happens if you're all ready to have him 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.839 and then boom it gets it comes down week eleven, 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.440 Week twelve, week thirteen, that's the kind of risk I 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.360 don't like. I'm okay with taking on the risk of 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.959 Ezekiel Elliott if I know I'm gonna have him as 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:02.199 a belt out back after seven, that's okay with me. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.960 This other way, when it's a cloud hanging over and 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.000 we don't know when it's gonna happen. That is something 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.199 I do not like. So if you're a Zeke Elliot owner, 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.280 you need to hope that he just you know, takes 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.480 his medicine and serves the suspension. Unfortunately, it looks like 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.120 this is going to drag out for a while and 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.839 the cloud will hover over Zeke Elliott for a while. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.640 I also told you I wanted to talk real quickly 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.760 about Colin Kaepernick. Well, again, we're not gonna go into 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.200 the um the protests and the stands on whether you 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.880 agree or disagree. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.520 you know my position on that. But check out what 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:42.080 Aaron Rodgers has to say. Aaron Rodgers says that he 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.280 belongs on an NFL roster. Aaron Rodgers says that the 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.080 protests are the reason he's not and that it would 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.240 be quote unquote ignorant to think otherwise. He says that 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.880 he personally Aaron Rodgers that is is not gonna you know, 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.280 he's gonna stand for the anthem, but he thinks that 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.120 these demonstrations are quote is full and respectful. Check out 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.760 what he says. I'm gonna stand because that's the way 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.280 I feel about the flag. But I'm also one percent 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.280 supportive of my teammates or any fellow players who are 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.640 choosing not to. They have a battle for racially quiet equality. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.440 That's what they're trying to get a conversation around. Okay, 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.319 I don't understand what it's like to be in that situation. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.040 He says, what it's like to be pulled over or profiled, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.319 or any number of the things that are happening. Listen, 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.560 Michael Bennett came out and said that it's gonna be 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.640 different when white players start to demonstrate as well. We've 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.080 seen Chris Long and others with hands. We've seen the 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.640 tight end on the brown set of All day Um 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.520 also in a prayer circle. This is now a different level. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.439 This is the face of the league pretty much. Aaron Rodgers, 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.839 one of the Golden Boys, coming out and saying this, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.840 keep an eye on this. However, when it comes down 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.680 to brass tacks and football, there's some spots that I 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.559 think Colin Kapnant could still wind up. We don't know 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.640 about Joe Flacco in his back, and Ryan Mallett is 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.280 not the answer. We don't know about Blake Bortle service 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.400 in Jacksonville, and the owner con has come out and 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.080 said he would accept an open Colin Kaepernick. We shall see. 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.000 And then also, what if Scott Tolzine can't do the 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.240 job in week one? What if this Andrew luck News 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.960 keeps on getting pushed back? We shall see. I'm gonna 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.880 tell you something. Um, I'm in a long term dynasty league, 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.200 and Colin Kaepernick would cost like a sixteenth or seventeenth 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.400 round draft pick for the owner who has him. He 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.160 kept him even though he's not on a roster. Okay, 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.920 this is like a two quarterback super flex kind of league. 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.240 Watch it. I still think Cap could wind up on 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.240 a roster. One thing I else I want to tell 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.240 you about real quick. What you need to do is 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.680 you need to go to Fantasy factor dot com. Okay, 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.040 Www Dot Fantasy factor dot com.

Oh you know what it is, Day last 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.600 soul coming back as we dropped stats over beast on 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.600 the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.800 Sports Radio Network. Thanks everybody listening live on I Heart Radio, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.640 on tune in Radio, and watching live on the Fantasy 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.160 Sports Network YouTube stream. We got a couple of people 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.360 that have used the call in number eight four four 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.480 eight four three six eight seven nine. Hey, Chris, it 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.040 sounds like we got some callers on the line. It 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.280 sounds like our first person is Josh in New Jersey. Correct, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:46.120 Let's put Josh on the Fantasy Freestyle. Okay. So I 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.640 actually called a couple of days ago about trading UM, 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.360 maybe trading Jordan Howard for some better receivers. Just to 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:56.480 remind you, my receipers are UM Tyree Killed, Jameson Crowder, 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.680 and Brenda Marshall, and then my other running back is 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.440 on agreement. So do you think it maybe be fair 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.960 if I were to treat Jordan Howard and maybe Brandon 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.000 Marshall for someone like Um, Martavis Bryan and Kareem Hunt 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.800 or Stepan Davison cream Hunt. Interesting? Interesting, the Kareem Hunt 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:15.840 play is is pretty a big part of that deal, right. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.639 There are a lot of people that even think Kareem 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.200 Hunt can be better than Jordan Howard. So I don't 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.280 know if you know what kind of balance is there, 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.199 you know, but yes, is the answer to your question. 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.240 I think that's possible. I think getting Kareem Hunt could 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.240 be an option, especially because I expect a little bit 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.919 of regression for Jordan Howard as well. Right, is it 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.720 fair to really expect that Jordan Howard is going to 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.320 be second in the league in rushing again? Is he 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:44.280 gonna really run for hundred yards again? I'm not sure 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.280 that that's gonna happen. So I would be okay with 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.639 something like that. Um, what were the wide receivers exactly? 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.959 I don't know about Martavis Bryant though. Okay, listen, I 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.439 love Martavis Bryant. Martavis Bryant is a dangerous weapon, but 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.960 I feel like he might be a better real life 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.520 NFL player. I say this sometimes they're better real life 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:08.080 NFL player than fantasy player. Okay, when um, the Steelers 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.800 have only had Martavis Bryant and Antonio Brown and Levi 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:18.359 on Bell on the field eleven times together ever, Okay, 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.920 with Ben Roethlisberger as quarterback. So when you think about it, yes, 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.200 that's slated to happen. And while that is so dynamic, 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.880 Martavis Bryant is in truth the third option there. He's 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.320 not the second option. He's the third option. You gotta 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.359 consider Levan Bell out of the backfield. So I'm a 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.040 little bit you know, I think a lot of people 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.880 are thinking about the potential of Martavis Bryant. I think 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.760 he does more for the real life Pittsburgh offense than 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:46.840 he does necessarily for fantasy owners. But thanks for the calling, Chris. 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.679 It sounds like we got a couple of other calls 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.360 that are lining up. Um, who's up next, Chris? Who 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:56.600 do we have up next? Okay? Jack? And Queen's what 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.480 do we got? Jack? You're on the fantasy freestyle? Uh, 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:05.639 what's up? Um? So on position six in a templayer 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:11.080 standards format league, I was wondering, So if I get 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:16.400 a Shady in the first round, let's say, sure, where 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:21.920 do I go from there? All right? If this is 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.680 a ten team league, okay? And if you get let's 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.520 say you get Shady okay, and he's gonna be your 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.920 locked and loaded kind of RB one. After that, I'm 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.800 looking wide receiver. Okay. So at that point in the draft, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.240 we're talking about at a ten team league, your pick six, 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.840 we're talking about like fifteen overall, right, So I think 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.600 at that point your reach, you gotta be real happy 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.880 if you could get a guy like Jordy Nelson, right. 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.520 I think that would be the dream scenario for you. 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.200 Outside of that, the other wide receivers that are there, 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:49.600 I think you could be happy with a guy like 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.359 Michael Thomas on the way back, maybe even a Dez 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.959 Bryant on the way back. Okay, those are the kind 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.240 of wide receivers you're gonna be staring at. I think 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.000 the dream scenario is Jordy Nelson or Michael Thomas. Those 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.640 would be the guys I would target in your situation. 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.560 All right, there, Chris, it sounds like we got other 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.959 callers in here. We got um Justin in Brooklyn. Can 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.400 we get to Justin in Brooklyn? It sounds like he's 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:17.400 on the turn of his drafts. What's going on, man, 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:22.240 what's your question? You're on Fantasy Freestyle. I'm going number 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:26.600 twelve and standard League, and I don't know how I 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.480 should go about a double receiver, double running back, or 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.560 one or the other. Yeah, sure, Okay, here's what I say. Okay. 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.879 The way I've been, the way I've been playing and 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:40.640 telling people on Fantasy Freestyle, right, is those true elite 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:45.080 stud workhorse backs, you know, the uh, the Levy on Bells, 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.639 the David Johnson's of the world, the shady McCoy is 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.360 like the last caller, maybe a guy like a Freeman, 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.840 maybe a guy like a Gordon. Right, those guys are 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.199 gonna be gone by the time you're picking, right, So 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.080 given that, if I were you, men, I would go 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.800 wide out, wide out and be happy with the guys 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.480 that are left for me when I'm picking back in 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.679 the at the tail end of the third round. I 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.480 think wide receiver is an important position you can get 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.439 at that point in the draft, at like twelve and 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.520 thirteen back to back. I think you can get two 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.520 studs at wide receiver and have a weekly advantage no 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.920 matter who you're playing um at your wide receiver position. 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.439 You heard the previous caller maybe and he was in 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.040 a ten team league with like you know what was 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.479 the you know figure, like the fourteenth pick overall? Right, 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:33.679 you are in a similar situation picking twelve and thirteen. Overall, 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.600 I think your dream scenario has to be a guy 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.040 like a J Green or Jordy Nelson. False to you, 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.960 but I would have no problem going wide out, wide 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:43.960 out at the turn and getting two of these guys, 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.680 whether it's a J. Green, Jordy Nelson, Michael Thomas, those 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:49.960 kind of guys that I talked to you about. If not, 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.400 you know, I think Michael Thomas will be there at 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.679
