If you were listening to the Fantasy 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.320 Freestyle last year, you knew that on Wednesday we did 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.160 a little bit of Fettie Wop Wednesday to coincide off 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.600 the waiver wire and we may bring some of that 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.640 back my man Chris Bavona making it happen. The number 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.440 to call a little bit later on in the show 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.920 is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.320 You could hit us up so many ways to participate. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.720 We got the YouTube live stream. We're also gonna get 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.440 a couple of questions from the YouTube live stream today. Okay, 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.479 so if you're watching on YouTube, you could call in 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.120 or you could ask a question in the comments. We're 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.720 gonna have my man the Manimal Chris Bavona read some 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.320 of those out a little bit later on in the 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.160 show as well, and on Twitter. We have a pole 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.040 question up today. My pole question, I think it's an 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:06.320 interesting one. Are J J. Watt and Rob Gronkowski's hall 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.959 of famers right now? Even if they are never one 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.519 healthy and dominant and their dominant selves ever again, that's 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.280 my pole question for today. Let me know if you 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.960 think just one of them Gronk, or what both of 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.760 them or none of them have already done enough to 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:26.200 earn a gold jacket and enshrinement in Kenton, excuse me, 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.920 in Canton Ohio. Also, well, we're gonna be doing it 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.880 is Wednesday, so remember, practice reports come out on Wednesday. 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.919 I always tell you guys, you gotta take the practice 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.760 reports on Wednesday with a grain of salt. It is 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.720 a good starting place, Okay, But don't get too stressed 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.679 out if you hear if you see a d n 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.240 P and a questionable tag next to somebody on your 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.960 team right now, what really matters is if they're trending 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.079 up or if they are trending down throughout the week. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.760 So we're gonna chop it up. We're gonna get into 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.440 some of those practice reports a little bit later on 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.800 in the show, right after the break. And I also 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.600 found a few spot like games for week five, week 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.120 six that I really want to talk about. I think 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.000 there are some marquee games, some games with very high 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.800 point totals. And if you remember, it is the point 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.480 totals that you need to look at where Vegas things. 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.040 Points will be scored because points equals fantasy football production, 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.680 and that's what we are here for. Okay. So we're 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.960 gonna get some YouTube questions. We're gonna check in on 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.360 this pole question a little bit later on. I'm gonna 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.320 give you spotlight games, practice reports, and we will be 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.359 taking your calls later on in the show. The number 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.400 of call is eight four four eight four three six 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.960 eight seven nine. You know what it is. It's a 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.840 boyd Dane Martinez, the spitting Statistician. We are dropping stats 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.160 over beats. The phone lines will be open if you 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.000 want to holler at me. I'm gonna try and help 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.560 you get a win four week six. I know a 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.000 lot of people are dangling names like Zeke Elliott with 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.440 the court suspension, like Adrian Peterson with that trade. I'm 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.560 here to help you out come all right back after. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:04:02.360 This is the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

We're 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.760 dropping stats over beat. It's fetti wop Wednesday. Bringing it 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.760 back here on the Fantasy Freestop on the Fantasy Sports 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.080 Radio Network. Somewhere somewhere, my boy, Frank Standfull may remember 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.440 how we used to do these fetty wap these days 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.400 last season to coincide with the waiver wire. We're helping 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.800 you guys out. We talked a lot about the hot 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.320 ads that I like that, the different positions yesterday's you 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.880 could have that information before most waiver wires run fab 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.200 budget waivers. If you still have those kind of questions, 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.120 you can holler at me later on in the show, 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.120 the number two call when we open them up his 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.920 eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.039 Let's go around the league because there's some news to report, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.040 and also remember Wednesday's mean practice reports, So I gotta 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.120 give you some of those big time takeaways as well. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.200 First of all, the Browns have in fact made the 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.160 decision of the worst kept secret. Remember Hugh Jackson kind 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.520 of revealed this before. The Browns have made the change 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.320 and Kevin Hogan is going to be their starting quarterback 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.800 moving forward. I actually think this is an upgrade for 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.680 some of the wide receivers because, um, I think it 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.520 opens up with playbook a little bit more than gonna 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.440 throw the ball downfield a little bit more. I think 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.120 Ricardo Lewis is very interesting in a DFS play moving forward. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.480 I don't know if in season long as you really 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.280 want to ride with him, but maybe give him a 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.760 shot in DFS this week. Also, the NFL is gonna 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.760 meet with Jarvis Landry, wide receiver of the Miami Dolphins 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.359 in a couple of weeks because I don't know if 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.880 you remember, he has a domestic violence case going on. 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.560 There were no formal charges pressed against him, but listen, 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.599 there were no formal charges press againt Zeke Elliott either. Okay, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:20.159 so keep that on your brain when you're thinking about 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.640 trades at the trading deadline, Davante Parker's injury and stuff 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.960 like that. And also, you know, I mean, I guess 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.760 you had to see this coming, right, But Tyler Eiffort 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.159 is in California today. He is considering a third yes 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:38.760 I said third back surgery, um, and that would obviously 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.000 end his season. It's it's such a shame because remember 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.200 he got injured at the Pro Bowl a few years ago, 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.440 remember that, and he really has never been the same 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.680 ever since he went to the Pro Bowl, after that 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.680 big time like fourteen or twelve touchdown season that he 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.039 had early in his career with Cincinnati. Two damn shame. 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.760 But he's considering back surgery. That means that if you 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.200 got yourself Tyler Croft, he might be filling that role 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.400 for the foreseeable future. And the Cincinnati tight end is 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.120 a place that they go to in the red zone. Okay, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.080 as I mentioned, Wednesday is the first day of practice 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.280 for Week six. We're gonna see some reports. First of all, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.720 what I gotta tell you some people that say they're 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.640 definitely gonna play. First of all, we're here in Gronk 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.880 is going to play, uh this Thursday, excuse me not 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.040 to Thursday this week against the Jets. Remember he missed 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.040 the last Thursday in a kind of popped up move 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:33.120 with his thigh. But also listen, tomorrow kicks off Week 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.640 six of the NFL season, and you got the Panthers 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.040 and the Eagles. Okay, Devin Funchis is going to play tomorrow. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.600 Night with that knee. He had a knee injury, but 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.160 he is going to play, So if you have him 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.640 in your lineups, you can go ahead and fire him up. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.280 When the Smallwood, however, it doesn't look like he's going 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.680 to go. He got the questionable tag and it looks 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.880 like he is not going to go. This would be 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.200 the second straight game. I think they're kind of resting 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.920 him because next game for them is not for eleven days. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.240 I think they have Monday Night Football next week and 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.280 maybe Wendell small Wood will be good to go for 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.000 weeks seven. But now come to the practice reports. Here 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.520 are the people who did not practice. Okay, Balau pal 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.000 our guy Boom boom bilal pal pal. He might be, 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.160 by the way, the nickname on the Fantasy freestyle that 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.680 has kind of like gotten the most love, gotten the 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:25.240 most steam. When I see it there, it is Listen 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.680 when I hear um on Twitter, when you guys hit 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.840 me up with whether it's Stefan, can you digs it? 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.000 You know? Or guys like now I'm using the adam, 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.320 I'm feeling myself, you know, um uh pop quiz Jack Quiz, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.040 Rogers and some of the other names that we come 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.000 up with here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I really think 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.439 Pal has kind of taken on a life of his own. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.240 Also not practicing is a man fat Rob Kelly like Wolf. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.280 He's got an ankle injury. He may not go against 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.600 the San Francisco forty niners and Tony Sincada, my guy 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.120 on Lineup Block Live. You can catch us six seven 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.560 pm Eastern Time every every weeknight here on the Fantasy 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.280 Sports Radio Network. He says that a sneaky play this 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:08.319 week on DFS might be USA J. P. Ryan. Okay, 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.160 if Rob Kelly is not going, we expect the game 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.920 script to be something that Washington football team will be 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.679 up after. Thereby on against the San Francisco forty nine 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.640 is Remember they're really historically bad run defense, at least 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.240 last year. It could set up nicely. It could be 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.720 the perfect storm for some a g P right on. Also, 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.280 Terrence West didn't practice today. He's got that CAF injury. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.760 Remember I say it's whackamole in Baltimore. I stay away 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.160 from the entire situation. I stay away from Buck Allen, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.959 I stay away from Alex Collins, I stay away from 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.960 Terrence West. Was just a guy. If you had to 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.800 give me one of them. I take Buck Allen, but 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:37.640 on a weeks a week basis, you never know how 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.160 it's gonna go down. Also, Travis Kelsey, okay, has not 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.880 been clear to practice. He has a concussion. He is 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.920 in the protocol, okay, and listen at the tight end position, 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.280 it's really slim pickens these days. Remember between you know 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.319 you lost Charles Clay last week, Greg Olsen's gone down. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.400 Even guys like Gronk, you know, miss the game or two. 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.360 So now with this potential loss of Travis Kelsey, it 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.440 could be interested. But I do think it means big 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.439 things for Tyreek Hill owners moving forward. Also, Sterling Shepherd 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.760 did not practice. Remember he was in that walking boot. He, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.679 like every other wide receiver for the New York Football Giants, 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.600 has an ankle injury. I do think they'll listen. Sterling Shepherd, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.520 I think is a great ad. He's only owned in 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.480 like sixty of leagues right now, and I know he's 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.040 not gonna be playing this week, and all likelihood a 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.200 great ad for your team if you have a little 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.400 bit more vision and are thinking a little bit more 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.880 medium or long long term. When Sterling Shepherd returns and 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.640 he will in a couple of weeks, he will be 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.240 the undisputed number one target there in New York. Also, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.760 Stefan can you digs it did not practice today? Remember 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.800 he was in and out and mostly a decoy on 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.840 Monday Night football for the Vikings. Um I think he 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.640 You know, Key's one to definitely keep an eye on, okay, 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.000 because you know how important he is to that Minnesota 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:54.360 Vikings offense, especially without Dalvin Cook. I want to see 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.400 at least limited work tomorrow and hopefully a full practice 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.240 and him get removed for the injury report. But this 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:00.920 is what I'm saying on ends that you never really 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:06.640 know because also check this out. Willie sneed limited in practice. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.560 This is a guy who was suspended for the first 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.839 three weeks of the season. You know, you would think 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.480 he'd be healthy when did he get hurt, you know, 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.360 trying to get back into football shape. But he was 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.520 limited today with a hamstring injury. Also, Julio Jones is 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.160 also limited. Mohammed Sun who did not practice, so it 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.240 looks like Julio might be there, but no Mohammed Sun. 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.880 New as the Falcons come back from there by, We'll 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.319 say this, you know what's interesting Matt Forte practice today. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.680 Maybe he's coming back from that turf toy. Let me 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.240 tell you something that Fote practices and if he dresses, 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.360 he will get opportunity. Remember how many people were like 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.040 high on the Liijah McGuire. We started talking about the 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:49.280 workload that he may have. Not so much. Not if 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.000 Matt Forte is back, Okay, he will automatically assume lead 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:57.200 back duties in my opinion. All right, so um, here's 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.280 the thing I want to talk about. A spotlight game 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.839 that I've think is very interesting. We go to the 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.400 highest total on the board. Remember, the over under totals 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.040 are really where I look. When I look at dfs, 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.400 for example, where dis Vegas, expect there to be a 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:11.719 lot of points because there's gonna be a lot of 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.160 fantasy goodness there. And right now, the highest total on 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:18.320 the board is this Saints Lions game. Okay, the Lions 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.760 are at home. Lions are four and a half point 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:25.000 favorites back in the dome after there by over under total. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.959 I see it as fifty one only game that's in 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.840 the fifties and I love this game for some production. Okay, 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.880 I think Alvin Kamara is definitely someone they're about to 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:38.559 unleash on the fantasy football world. They traded Adrian Peterson. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.480 Remember if you've been listening to the Fantasy Freestyle, I've 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.920 been saying that all Adrian Peterson was doing was blocking 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.960 Alvin Kamara and his path to production. And I think 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.800 that is absolutely the case, and they don't want to 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.479 do that anymore. I think Camara is ready to explode um. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.280 I think this is a big time opportunity for him. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.200 And without Willie Sneed coming back, that means you can 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.520 fire up my man. Let me, let me get the 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.280 bubbles going Ted Finn Jr. Yet again as the number 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.440 two pass catcher, but in DFS, and when I give 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.360 out my DFS lineup, I love du Brees in the 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.160 dome after the by and so I'm gonna stack him 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.480 with Michael Thomas as well. I think there's big time 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.760 fantasy goodness there on the Detroit side. Listen. I told 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.520 you this is one of those sum is greater than 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.840 the parts kind of team. And I had a lot 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.000 of people on Twitter asking me, what about Matt Stafford 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.120 this week? What about Matt Stafford this week? What about 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.000 Matt Stafford this week? I love Matt Stafford, but I 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.080 don't like this injury. I love this matchup against the Saints, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.960 but I don't like this injury. I told you, I 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.760 even said on Line Up Block Live. Listen, there's a 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.120 universe out there where I sit Matt Stafford this week 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.240 because they gotta buy next week. They gotta buy next week, 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.640 and maybe you give Matt Stafford, you know, the two 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.480 weeks off. I know they're not gonna do that because 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.239 they're in contention and in that division where you have Minnesota, 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.280 where you have Green Bay, every win, every conference win, 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.520 will count. But keep an eye on the practice reports. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:06.120 Matt Stafford's gamer. He's gonna go. We all know this already, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:11.480 but it's whack a mole over there for the Detroit Lions. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.920 And I think Matt Stafford, if he dresses and if 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.240 he plays, I love the matchup. But if he's like 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.000 your only option, keep an eye out because right now 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.280 Vegas still doesn't have a line on this game because 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.320 of the fact that Matthew Stafford is kind of only 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:31.200 like questionable or probable or while he did practice. But um, 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.160 I personally think it would behove the Lions to, uh, 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.560 you know, maybe arrest him for a little bit. Listen up, 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.640 we're gonna open up the phone lines right now, okay 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.880 at eight four four eight four three six, eight seven nine. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.960 We got a couple of other spotlight games that I do, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.040 in fact want to talk about when we come back 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.160 here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I want to talk about 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.160 this green Bay Minnesota game, because what will happen? Who's 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.640 under center for Minnesota, who's the running back for green Bay? 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.240 Will step on digs play? You know what? Up gang stuff? 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.320 We dropped staf topa beats. I also want to talk 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.200 about this Pittsburgh Kansas City game, and it's Fettie Wop 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.320 Wednesday where we talked about the trap games. I gotta 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.440 trap game I want to talk about for week six 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.200 as well. We're gonna do all that in more and 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.240 open up the phone lines as well. It's eight four 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.000 four eight four three six eight seven nine. You can 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.320 get onto the phone. Would be the spitting statistician when 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.400 we come back as the Fantasy Free Stop on the 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:27.840 Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go over Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:33.480 Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.200 They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.360 Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.720 Make sure listen live and dell o the app f 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.280 s y R Radio.

Hey, what's uppello, I'm speaking spitting 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.360 statistician right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. It's a little 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.200 bit of a fetty wop Wednesday. Back in the day, 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:19.960 we used to do fetti Wop Wednesday. And you know 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.480 what we used to do. We used to call out 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.800 the trap games. So before we open up the phone lines, 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.560 and remember the number of call is eight four four 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.080 eight four three six eight seven nine. We got some 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.760 room for you on the phone lines a little bit 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.840 later on to get a little bit of advice from 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.320 your boys. Speeds the spitting Statistician. But what I first 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:36.840 wanted to do is talk about one or two more 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.400 games that I think are very interesting here for weeks 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.000 six of the NFL season. I want to talk about 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.920 this Steelers Chiefs game, which listen is a rematch of 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.880 a playoff game last year, which I think really was 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.200 the deciding factor for so many things for both of 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.800 those franchises. For the first part, I think it's when 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.520 the Kansas City Chiefs realize that they can not go 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.080 any further than they did last year with the kind 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.480 of offense and the way Alex Smith played the game. Remember, 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.080 Alex Smith was like the ultimate game manager. They almost 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.160 they lost that game to Pittsburgh because they couldn't push 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.360 the ball down the field and they couldn't score enough 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:20.840 points against what was actually an average Pittsburgh defense at best. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.280 What they do in the offseason they went out and 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.679 got Patty Mahomes in the draft that could get who 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.840 they believe it is kind of like a Brett farrv 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.919 type that could just sling it right. And this threatened 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.320 Alex Smith in my opinion, and this long with Andy 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.440 Reid probably being like, listen, we gotta push the ball 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.879 down the field. Remember, part of the revelation for the 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.920 Chiefs this year is that they're being more aggressive. I 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.639 think they realized that that was as far as they 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.040 could go with Alex Smith playing the way it was. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.080 They they they drafted Patty Mahomes and I believe that 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.800 Alex Smith took that que and he's a different quarterback. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.240 He's being a little bit less conservative, and uh, that's 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.600 part of the reason and why the Kansas City Chiefs 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.400 are the last undefeated team in the NFL. But here's 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.720 the thing. I am concerned about this trash Kelsey concussion. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.080 This is a guy who gets banged up a lot, 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.120 and you know, you never know what concussions. He could 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.720 be back this Sunday. He could miss a lot of time. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.280 This could be the beginning of bad things for Travis Kelsey. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.320 We call him baby Gronk. In my opinion, it is Gronk. 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.120 It is Baby Gronk Travis Kelsey, and it is Zach 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.439 Ert as the undisputed top three tight ends in the 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.639 game right now. And if Kelsey has banged up, that 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.359 could be a big blow to the Kansas City Chiefs. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.040 I do, however, think it means that you might see 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.800 a little bit more of Kareem Hunt in the passing 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.000 game this week, which I think could be interesting for 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.200 Kareem Hunt owners and make him an even more tasty 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.760 DFS play, shall we say. And I also think it 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.520 means good things from Tyreek Hill. If you're a Tyreek 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.000 Hill owner, you know that in the last couple of 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.080 games he hasn't really had those big plays. I mean, 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.800 he did have the punt return last week, but in 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.240 the receiving game he hasn't had it. He hasn't had 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.879 the production in the running game like you've seen for 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:04.800 him in the past. I think we could see a 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.800 Tyreek kill renaissance of sorts to the big play, an 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:12.440 explosive activity if Travis Kelsey doesn't play on the Pittsburgh 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.400 side of things. Let me tell you something. I got 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.160 people on Twitter asking me should I drop Big Ben? 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.560 Should I move on from Big Ben? I know big 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:25.000 Ben had a horrible game last week, five interceptions, the 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.400 comments after the game he didn't know if he has 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.440 it anymore, that sort of stuff. I actually think I 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.280 would not be surprised market down. This is Speeds calling 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.280 a shot. I would not be surprised if we see 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.960 a big time bounce back game from Big Ben. I'm 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.320 talking for the first time. He goes three hundred and 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.280 three touchdowns. Antonio Brown helps him out with a big play. 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.760 He finally connects with a big play, you know, over 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.919 the top of Martevis Bryant, uh Levan Bell helps him 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:52.800 out with a screen pass that goes for to your 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.960 fifty yards. I wouldn't be surprised if they rally. Now. 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.040 You know, we've heard so much Martevis Bryant, the Antonio 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.840 Brown kind of blow up that sort of stuff, big bend, 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.800 all this stuff, lavy on with the hold out, a 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.959 lot of cloud swirling. I think, listen, if it's one 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.919 thing Mike Tomlin does, it's you know, he speaks so 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.080 well and he can rally behind. Like when I hear 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.119 Mike Tomlin press conference, I'm ready to run into a 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.880 wall for him, right. I think they know that even 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.960 though they are in first place at three and two, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.600 their back is sort of against the wall, and I 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.919 think they put up a big time offensive explosion. I 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.760 actually think, listen, the Chiefs are four point favorites. I 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.240 actually believe I take the points in this game. I 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.679
