Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. We've got a good episode for you. My
Speaker 1: man Danny Otto is down there in the fantasy Pit
Speaker 1: of misery. I believe we are coming up on episode
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty four. I want to say, but regardless,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good as we get you ready for
Speaker 1: a week eleven of the NFL and the fantasy football season.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do it like we usually do on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. I'm gonna give you the injuries that you
Speaker 1: need to know about. I'm gonna tell you we're gonna
Speaker 1: hold ourselves and the status over beat Cipher accountable. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about what we got right in week ten. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, things like, for example, going full chub and
Speaker 1: things we got wrong in week eleven. My man Mike
Speaker 1: Blewett knows I thought it might have been a little
Speaker 1: bit of a trap game for the Saints. I guess
Speaker 1: I was wrong on that one. We'll look at all
Speaker 1: of those things and then we'll go into the waiver wires.
Speaker 1: We'll go position by position some guys that you can
Speaker 1: have if you want to help yourself a week eleven
Speaker 1: and beyond, a lot of people are gonna be in
Speaker 1: some tight situations. Six teams are on buys, the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners, the Cleveland Browns, and the entire a
Speaker 1: FC East or on a buy so to be honest,
Speaker 1: like with the Jets, Bills, the Dolphins, the forty Niners,
Speaker 1: those four teams. I figured it out this morning, those
Speaker 1: four teams being on by might be a grand total
Speaker 1: of like three fantasy starters, like literally on those teams,
Speaker 1: who might you have on your roster? George Kittle okay,
Speaker 1: Matt Brita okay, Shady McCoy okay, is there another Jet, Bill,
Speaker 1: Dolphin or forty Niner that you truly want to have?
Speaker 1: You wanna tell me, Kenyan Drake, We'll see you want
Speaker 1: to tell me one of their defenses. But we'll see
Speaker 1: what the impact is on the waiver wire. And then
Speaker 1: a little bit later on the show, we will put
Speaker 1: the fun in functional sports content as usual as we
Speaker 1: answer the questions to the stats overbeat Cipher. We talked
Speaker 1: about Game of Inches and we do a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: You know what it is already big shout out to everybody.
Speaker 1: My homegirl, Jilly Dilley already telling me it's episode three
Speaker 1: forty five. We got strong style in there, We got Jr.
Speaker 1: Jim Ross getting in there. He's letting everybody know smash
Speaker 1: that like button. We only got eleven that's not enough, guys.
Speaker 1: We gotta get up to it. But let's get into
Speaker 1: the poll question and then the show. Alright, my pole question,
Speaker 1: because you probably have heard by now Mr Bell did
Speaker 1: not walk into that building and it's after four pm
Speaker 1: on November. So what does that mean. It means that
Speaker 1: you can drop him in Redraft leagus Um Levin and
Speaker 1: Bell will not play in two thousand and eighteen. He
Speaker 1: is sacrificing the fourteen uh plus million. He is, in
Speaker 1: essence making a bet on himself that he has saved
Speaker 1: a year of wear and tear on his body and
Speaker 1: that somebody is gonna still back up the brain struck
Speaker 1: for him, And honestly, as time went on, more and
Speaker 1: more I didn't think it was that bad of a move.
Speaker 1: You know, if you look at thirty two teams in
Speaker 1: the NFL, what percentage of them do you think has
Speaker 1: an injury to their starting running back? Right and leve Bell,
Speaker 1: in essence wanted nothing to happen in two thou eighteen
Speaker 1: which could impact his health or his market value. When
Speaker 1: we hit March of two thousand and nineteen and sitting
Speaker 1: out so fresh and so clean recording in the studio,
Speaker 1: playing some pickup basketball was apparently his way to go
Speaker 1: about it, but it inspired this question for me, Which
Speaker 1: of these NFL policies is the least clear to you?
Speaker 1: Is it? What's a damn catch? For years we've been
Speaker 1: wondering about that. Is it this year the new hot
Speaker 1: trot item? What's a tackle? Like? How do you tackle?
Speaker 1: How much body weight is too much? Or is it
Speaker 1: the personal conduct policy? You know here on Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: spitting statistician has been talking about everything from guys getting
Speaker 1: suspended multiple games to marijuana, but guys only getting one
Speaker 1: game for multiple times abusing his wife that seems inconsistent
Speaker 1: to me? Is that the least clear policy? Or is
Speaker 1: it this stuff these contract rules, the franchise tag, the
Speaker 1: transition tag, the service time that we saw with Levian Bell,
Speaker 1: that we saw with Kirk Cousins and others over the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Let me know what you think.
Speaker 1: We'll check in on that pole throughout the show. All right,
Speaker 1: so you know about leve Bell. We gotta talk about
Speaker 1: some of these injuries since last time we spoke on Thursday,
Speaker 1: and the big one. Cooper Cup is also done for
Speaker 1: the season. He has, in fact torn his a c L.
Speaker 1: He'll be done for the season for that. You know,
Speaker 1: real strong offense over there in Los Angeles. To be
Speaker 1: quite on, it's both offenses in Los Angeles are pretty strong.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the next man up in the waiver. Wise,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are thinking it's Josh Reynolds. I'll
Speaker 1: let you know if that's where I would go. Also,
Speaker 1: since we last spoke, the Bengals have five aired their
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Terrell Austin. Listen, that's kind of a tough assignment. Right.
Speaker 1: Let's say you are your job was hanging by a thread.
Speaker 1: Let's say you knew you needed to put up fourth
Speaker 1: a good performance to save your job. Would you want
Speaker 1: Drew Brees the New Orleans Saints coming to town to
Speaker 1: be the team that you had to make a statement
Speaker 1: against to save your job. It's tough. That is not
Speaker 1: what uh kind of worked out for Terrell Austin. Hugh Jackson, however,
Speaker 1: has been rehired by the Cincinnati Bengals. He was always
Speaker 1: an offensive guy that calling him kind of quote unquote
Speaker 1: special assistant to Marvin Lewis. So we'll see how that
Speaker 1: works out. Other coaching news, a lot of people thought
Speaker 1: that after that ridiculous dumpster fire that happened that MetLife
Speaker 1: on Sunday, that Todd Bowles was gonna be on the
Speaker 1: hot seat. The organization or reports have come out that
Speaker 1: they will not be making a move in season. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you this, though, you know Todd Bowles dead man
Speaker 1: walking in New York. Cleveland will already be having a
Speaker 1: new head coach. I think you can go to Tampa
Speaker 1: with Dirk Cutter, Miami, would Adam Gaze all of these teams.
Speaker 1: What you need to do, honestly is you have no
Speaker 1: more options. There's no more so much thing anymore. Is
Speaker 1: that a defensive mind as a head coach in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Look at say the Bears with Naggie McVeigh. With the Rams,
Speaker 1: you need the new hot to trot offensive mind, someone
Speaker 1: who knows about r P O s and jet sweeps
Speaker 1: and and pop passes and that sort of thing. That
Speaker 1: is the way of the NFL in two thousand eighteen.
Speaker 1: You either acclimate or you get the hell out of
Speaker 1: the way. Hopefully the Browns do that to support Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: Hopefully the Jets do that to support Sam Donald, and
Speaker 1: hopefully the Cardinals do the same. Whether it's Byron left
Speaker 1: Witch or someone else to support. Josh Rosen out there
Speaker 1: all right? Um so Cooper Cup, you know he's gone.
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant and Jordie Nelson keep an eye out on them.
Speaker 1: Could it be someone like Brandon LaFell that fills those shoes.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later. Jachim Grant, he was a
Speaker 1: flyer on some people's roster. Looks like he may have
Speaker 1: popped in Achilles. Julian Edelman with a foot injury. They're
Speaker 1: saying it's not that serious. Remember, the Patriots have a
Speaker 1: bye this week week go leven. Hopefully that's enough time
Speaker 1: for Gronk to rest up, for Sony the Stereotype to
Speaker 1: get up to and for Edelman as well. Marvin Jones
Speaker 1: has a knee issue. That's something to keep an eye on,
Speaker 1: especially as the Detroit Lions have cast um golden tate aside.
Speaker 1: It looks to me, and I got into this in
Speaker 1: the morning when my guy Scott Angle, it looks to
Speaker 1: me that the Lions are um looking to Theo Rittick
Speaker 1: to fill that void in the short passing game. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised, I know, my man Mike Blewet is
Speaker 1: within range of my voice. We do this a lot
Speaker 1: during the week. We look at snap counts. I'd be
Speaker 1: very interested to see moving forward if the Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: have plays where theo Ritick and carry On Johnson are
Speaker 1: both on the field at the same time. I think
Speaker 1: Riddick is going to be used a lot Allah Golden Tate,
Speaker 1: so keep an eye out on that. But yes, Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones has an injury James Conner in the concussion protocol,
Speaker 1: but remember they had the mini by after their game
Speaker 1: on Thursdays. Lines are pointing in the right direction for
Speaker 1: James Conner. They say he's probably gonna be able to
Speaker 1: give it a go and get cleared in practice as normal.
Speaker 1: Will also be keeping our eye on two big time
Speaker 1: names that have been out that maybe coming back. We
Speaker 1: gotta check on A. J. Green and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: And don't forget about the pass rusher on my Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers, Joey Boza may be coming back. All right,
Speaker 1: here's what we got right. Here's what we got wrong.
Speaker 1: By we, I mean speeds and of course, by definition,
Speaker 1: the stats overbeat cipher. Listen, I told you about that
Speaker 1: exact thing that the Lions were gonna use carry On
Speaker 1: Johnson and Golden Tate, and that Riddick was growing in
Speaker 1: his potential. He was a waiver wire guy for me
Speaker 1: going into week ten, and I would say he returned
Speaker 1: value for you in PPR settings. He had six catches
Speaker 1: for sixty yards. You gotta like that. At the same time,
Speaker 1: that does not compromise carry On Johnson. In my mind,
Speaker 1: carry on On is a weekly RB two, especially this week.
Speaker 1: You got six running backs out. You got Breta out,
Speaker 1: you got Chubb out, you got Crowell out, you got
Speaker 1: James White and Sony Michelle out. You got you know,
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore out. You got Shady McCoy out.
Speaker 1: People might have been using Duke Johnson as well. So
Speaker 1: I think carry On Johnson is easily Why excuse me,
Speaker 1: a running back to he had fifty one yards on
Speaker 1: the ground under the thirty eight via the air we're
Speaker 1: talking about here, eighty nine yards and two touchdowns. That's
Speaker 1: an RB two. I'm not worried about Riddick screaming on,
Speaker 1: you know, horning on in to his opportunity. We had
Speaker 1: that one right. Another thing I got right. I would
Speaker 1: telling you guys for a while after this move that
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is an RB one, and once again he
Speaker 1: returned that kind of value for you. You can start
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb as an RB one moving forward. I guess
Speaker 1: with the exception of this week because the Browns ain't playing,
Speaker 1: but you can be confident with that. Okay, full on Chubb.
Speaker 1: The man had twenty three touches the man and had
Speaker 1: two hundred and nine scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, including
Speaker 1: obviously the ninety two yard big run. We like Nick
Speaker 1: Chubb will go full Chubb for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: I told you about that. Another thing I have been
Speaker 1: telling you guys about is and I've been arguing with
Speaker 1: the King Scott Angle about this. He thinks that there's
Speaker 1: no value to Aaron Jones. I've been saying for a
Speaker 1: while now. Aaron Jones is a thing. It is real.
Speaker 1: You need to start him. What do you do for
Speaker 1: those of you who did in fact start him? Last week,
Speaker 1: he returned, Let me do some quick math. A hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy two yards from scrimmage on eighteen touches, fifteen
Speaker 1: on the ground, three catches, two touchdowns. This is a team.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Okay, you talk about the
Speaker 1: Rams and how explosive they are, well they have good balance.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs with how explosive they are, well they have
Speaker 1: good balance. The Saints with how explosive they are, the
Speaker 1: Chargers with how explosive they are, they have balance. That
Speaker 1: is something that say, the Packers don't necessarily have they needed.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is the route to balance for the Packers.
Speaker 1: He is a real thing. Go get yourself some Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: That is real. In my opinion, they need to help
Speaker 1: out number twelve out there in Green Bay. I told
Speaker 1: you guys, a lot of people last week we're asking me,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we gotta go get Dez Bryant. There's
Speaker 1: someone in my league who spent something like half their
Speaker 1: fat budget on Dez Bryant. I was telling you, wait
Speaker 1: and see on Dez Bryant. The man is not in
Speaker 1: quote unquote football shape. The man doesn't know the playbook
Speaker 1: or anything like that. And if you waited and to
Speaker 1: see on Dez Bryant, then you didn't go ahead and
Speaker 1: spend that sab budget. And you may still have a
Speaker 1: number a number of bucks left because Dez Bryant, we
Speaker 1: hardly knew you, all right, He went and tore his
Speaker 1: achilles right away in the first practice he had with
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, so that you know, I told
Speaker 1: you guys to wait on him. And even even then,
Speaker 1: even if you saw a golden Tate on Sunday night, right,
Speaker 1: they were using him. But not in the shotgun, not
Speaker 1: in the four minute offense, not when Carson Wentz had
Speaker 1: hot routes and kill kill kill going on. Why because
Speaker 1: he didn't know all of those hot routes. He didn't
Speaker 1: know all of those answers just yet, so he had
Speaker 1: to sit and watch when other people knew all the vernacular,
Speaker 1: all the verbiage, all the language of what they were doing.
Speaker 1: All right. The other thing I would tell you is, listen.
Speaker 1: I talked about how the boxing axiom is, you know,
Speaker 1: style makes fight, and I said it was very interested
Speaker 1: to see what wound up happening in the style makes
Speaker 1: fight of the Washington football team against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: We knew Tampa was gonna throw the ball, and they did.
Speaker 1: Fitz Magic still put up four hundred yards, but still
Speaker 1: turned the ball over three times as is is want.
Speaker 1: And then Washington on the other side did the same thing.
Speaker 1: Alex Smith only a hundred and seventy eight yards and
Speaker 1: on the air. But Washington Football team, don't look now,
Speaker 1: they are six and three and they now have a
Speaker 1: two game lead on everybody in the n f C East.
Speaker 1: The last thing I'll tell you is I got that
Speaker 1: call last Thursday night. Correct, we had the Steelers and
Speaker 1: we had the over. We liked that Ben Roethlisberger. Don't
Speaker 1: look now, but he's q BE four in UH in
Speaker 1: fantasy points in yards and Ben has done it in
Speaker 1: nine games, whereas Goff and Patty Mahomes has done it
Speaker 1: in ten. So you gotta keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 1: Now here are the things that I was close on
Speaker 1: in week ten. I told you, I said to everybody
Speaker 1: who will listen when I did a waivers show in
Speaker 1: the morning with my guy Mike Blewett, who's likely going
Speaker 1: to join the show in the next segment. I was
Speaker 1: talking about some of these PPR backs that were on
Speaker 1: waivers last week. Duke Johnson, for example, Well he got
Speaker 1: you a touchdown right, four catches thirty one yards, a
Speaker 1: touchdown fifteen yards in the ground. So that worked for
Speaker 1: you if you put him in right. I gave you
Speaker 1: THEO Riddick. Six catches for sixty yards. That works. You know.
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire was another guy gave you he only had
Speaker 1: three one in the passing game, but another third party
Speaker 1: in the run game. So if out of a streaming
Speaker 1: kind of guy, you got fifty one scrimming yards and
Speaker 1: you've got three catches eight eight and a half points,
Speaker 1: you could have done worse. So I was close on that.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that, here's what I got wrong. And
Speaker 1: most shows will not do this. Most shows will not
Speaker 1: hold themselves accountable and acknowledge where they were wrong. I
Speaker 1: was on air last year, Talk not last week, talking
Speaker 1: to Mike Blewett saying that I thought it was gonna
Speaker 1: be a trap game for the Saints, saying that I
Speaker 1: thought that, you know, we're Philly coming to town, just
Speaker 1: coming off the Rams win. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: this could be a trap game for the Saints. All
Speaker 1: they did was put the defensive coordinator out of work instead.
Speaker 1: So I got that one wrong. I acknowledge that. Okay.
Speaker 1: What I also like about the Saints is that, honestly,
Speaker 1: they are known quantities. You know, I talked about the
Speaker 1: fantasy heard all the time the Saints are not that.
Speaker 1: You know what you get out of Michael Thomas, you
Speaker 1: know what you get out of Alvin Kamara. You know
Speaker 1: that mark Ingram is a step down from that. And then,
Speaker 1: to be quite honest, you know that there ain't jack
Speaker 1: else to go around. The Saints put up fifty plus points.
Speaker 1: I started tray Kwon Smith in the league, unfortunately against
Speaker 1: the King's Scott Angle, and he put up a zero. Okay,
Speaker 1: how does this guy who's supposed to be the number
Speaker 1: two wide receiver on the Saints when the team scores
Speaker 1: fifty some odd points get a zero. Maybe I'm just
Speaker 1: a little piste off because I lost to the King's
Speaker 1: Scott Angle by twenty some odd points, and I had
Speaker 1: a zero on tray Kwon Smith. And yeah, I had
Speaker 1: Allan Robinson on my bench who got thirty plus and
Speaker 1: would have won me that game. But I digress. I
Speaker 1: also was telling you and I got this wrong. Okay,
Speaker 1: I admit this. I got this wrong. And when we
Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk about we'll move it forward, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the waivers. I may talk about the waivers
Speaker 1: with a special guest. But the other thing I got wrong.
Speaker 1: I was saying, Oh, I think the Jets offense will
Speaker 1: be better with McCown in there. I think they'll throw
Speaker 1: the ball down field a little bit more and they'll
Speaker 1: be good to go. Unfortunately, I was wrong on that
Speaker 1: one as well, But that's okay. We keep right back
Speaker 1: at it. Week eleven is on and popping. You got
Speaker 1: six teams on a by the Browns, the Niners, the
Speaker 1: entire a f C East. When we come back, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you about some running backs, some wide receivers that
Speaker 1: I think you can put in your lineup for Week
Speaker 1: eleven and beyond and help you win your leagues and
Speaker 1: win that cash. Will do waivers, and we'll answer questions
Speaker 1: from the stats over beat cipher from the YouTube chat.
Speaker 1: A little bit later on in the show, it's a
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle with your boys Speeds come all right back

Speaker 1: me one more chance left. Bell's chance will not be
Speaker 1: with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'll tell you that. And and
Speaker 1: by the way, this fine gentleman over here to my
Speaker 1: left or right, however you're seeing it is my man
Speaker 1: and co host eight a m. Monday through Friday's sort
Speaker 1: of FENSIS on f S team A man, Mike Blue,
Speaker 1: And how you doing today, Mike, I'm sean, Yeah, get
Speaker 1: into this. I'm dealing with it now, the know with
Speaker 1: what like, aren't you just kind of like if it
Speaker 1: ain't broke, don't fix it. Look, the team's doing fine
Speaker 1: without him, And it seemed apparent to me, certainly in
Speaker 1: the last few weeks as they got in this role
Speaker 1: that they're like, you know what, it's fine if you
Speaker 1: don't come back. Uh, nobody's going to sit here and
Speaker 1: tell you that James Conner is the same player that
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell is. But but maybe they're a better
Speaker 1: team without him. Yeah, they're certainly going to make that argument. Sure,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to make that argument. It's definitely
Speaker 1: an argument long term, because there wasn't gonna be Bell
Speaker 1: there anyway. It wasn't coming back, right, and we know
Speaker 1: they wanted to groom Connor anyway. Fantasy owners are happy.
Speaker 1: I think he's running back three pertainly makes it easier
Speaker 1: for the Steelers to cut ties. When you think about,
Speaker 1: like what if Bell came back for the last six
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and he was great and fans were like,
Speaker 1: what do you worry Connor like tours a c L
Speaker 1: in a playoffs loss or something like that, then then
Speaker 1: then there would have been some sort of attraction to
Speaker 1: having him back. Now I think it's over now, I
Speaker 1: think it's clean. I've said many times I really don't
Speaker 1: don't blame him for holding out. But as one of
Speaker 1: my friends texted me just a little while ago, is
Speaker 1: it the strangest contract dispute in decades? The fact that
Speaker 1: he's held out and he won't be playing. I actually
Speaker 1: don't find to be I find it to be understandable.
Speaker 1: And also if you're just being a business person about it,
Speaker 1: you can understand why they didn't offer him the long
Speaker 1: term contract. But the elements of it along the way
Speaker 1: we're extremely strange. I mean, the social media parts of
Speaker 1: it along the way in essence. But that's the only
Speaker 1: information we're left to go on other than this last
Speaker 1: week when we somehow come to find out that everybody,
Speaker 1: including myself, you were reporting things wrong because he was
Speaker 1: a free agent this whole time. Now, I you wonder
Speaker 1: if it's the Steelers floating it out there that the
Speaker 1: agent didn't know this, or somebody floating out there the
Speaker 1: agent didn't know this until just recently. If you, if
Speaker 1: I had to take a guess, I'd say it seems
Speaker 1: like maybe another agent helped out a decent Bakari was like, hey,
Speaker 1: he's a free agent, he doesn't need to come back,
Speaker 1: and yeah, so let me ask you this. Okay, First
Speaker 1: of all, my poll question for today was which is
Speaker 1: the least clear rules in the NFL? Is it what's
Speaker 1: a catch? Is it, what's a tackle? Is it the
Speaker 1: personal conduct policy or is it this stuff the contract
Speaker 1: the tag rules, because as you said, people were getting
Speaker 1: it wrong in the reporting of it. We then I
Speaker 1: asked you about the transition tag, which at one point
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, maybe the Steelers could really screw it
Speaker 1: to him and have something like, you know, six million
Speaker 1: be his salary that they tag him at next year.
Speaker 1: But in essence, correct me if I'm wrong, the Steelers
Speaker 1: could still tag him this year, but it would have
Speaker 1: reverted to the quarterback money. So that's ridiculous. Right, We're
Speaker 1: talking like million, and you know, Levion wants to get
Speaker 1: like a franchise the quarterback, and so if they tagged
Speaker 1: him even in fact would be so there's it becomes
Speaker 1: false prohibitive for the Steelers who tag him again. And
Speaker 1: so that is Washington could have tapped on the Cousins again,
Speaker 1: but four point seven million dollars something like that from
Speaker 1: the Cousins, So uh yeah, they won't do it. It's
Speaker 1: he's going to be free to go as of whenever
Speaker 1: the year starts, which is first whatever it is. So
Speaker 1: um so yeah, so here we are, Well, let's spend
Speaker 1: it forward a little bit. Yeah, but as far as
Speaker 1: the weirdest rules the personal conduct policy, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't think it's the policy so much that remains confusing,
Speaker 1: but the punishments that are told out. So I think
Speaker 1: that's the confusion of the catch. Um, I guess we
Speaker 1: can say I feel much better. While I still don't
Speaker 1: know the rule, I feel much better about the way
Speaker 1: they're calling him now that I did a year ago.
Speaker 1: What about this tap Being a Steelers fan, obviously I
Speaker 1: feel better now. We'll see what happens in week fifteen
Speaker 1: if they throw it to Jesse James. Well, the roughing
Speaker 1: the pastors stuff is cooled off a little bit, but
Speaker 1: that's still confusing to me because I've been a fan
Speaker 1: of football for whole life, and I don't understand why
Speaker 1: some of these are penalties. In fact, the Lions player
Speaker 1: that got kicked out last Yeah night, I know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. For the he flicked the guy in
Speaker 1: the face. He kind of gave him a little jab,
Speaker 1: but it was like it was nothing, something that would
Speaker 1: happen during the course of play. I think it's in
Speaker 1: the inconsistency with which they apply it, right, like with
Speaker 1: the tackle thing and the sack thing. It seems like
Speaker 1: they were just getting Clay Matthews every week at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, right with the personal conduct policy,
Speaker 1: you cannot tell me that the case of Josh Brown
Speaker 1: verse the case of Jamis Winston or Zekiel Elliott is
Speaker 1: in any way like, how does Zeke Elliott get six?
Speaker 1: Anderson didn't said, Yeah, So that's what I'm saying. It's
Speaker 1: the inconsistency there, strong language, absolutely rewarded letter probably you
Speaker 1: know that's what I'm saying. I'm saying his language stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. But it's very inconsistent.
Speaker 1: So I do think it's very interesting. Thanks to everybody
Speaker 1: who was voting out there on that. Mike, Let's do
Speaker 1: what we usually do on a Tuesday show. Let's just
Speaker 1: talk about a little bit of some waivers, okay, and
Speaker 1: here's my questions for you, all right, because first of all,
Speaker 1: you know, you got the Browns, the Niners, and the
Speaker 1: entire a f C east On by okay thankfully. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard this, but the the Jetsambrita Okay,
Speaker 1: good Win, and I don't know what to do. I'll
Speaker 1: give you kiddle Embrita Jets, nobody that can really play Dolphins. Dolphins,
Speaker 1: any weekly starters in that team maybe Drake, Uh, Drake's
Speaker 1: the only one. Bills, maybe McCoy. That's it. So in
Speaker 1: these four teams, you have three maybe four weekly bringing
Speaker 1: them back. I'm just saying he brought them back. I
Speaker 1: thought they were. They signed Terrell prior for that week.
Speaker 1: Who knows what they in my dynasty league, Like five
Speaker 1: years ago, I drafted Matt Barkley. I was like, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good staff and the long line of
Speaker 1: USC quarterbacks that have shown no chance. All right, So
Speaker 1: let's talk about these waivers, right, So with these six
Speaker 1: teams on buys, some teams coming back, let's uh, let's
Speaker 1: talk some running back and having a team with Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup and a J. Green. Yeah, well, you need some
Speaker 1: wide receiver helps some of these wide receivers. Of these guys,
Speaker 1: who would you like to replace them? Josh Reynolds. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you know what, Let's use Josh Reynolds as the
Speaker 1: bar because he's the most added player. Right And by
Speaker 1: the way, the total from Monday Night Football is up
Speaker 1: to sixty four from Mexico to l A. They some
Speaker 1: of them may need to take this off the board
Speaker 1: because listen, I would have you know, I think it
Speaker 1: was Rams minus two and a half. But now they're
Speaker 1: at home. Now, they're in their actual building again, so
Speaker 1: they need to take that off or I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Rams real quick before I moved to three and
Speaker 1: a half, you know what I mean. But in any event, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta show to do mine. I gotta
Speaker 1: show to get a break on a right. Come on,
Speaker 1: So Josh Reynolds, is that bar right? And I listen,
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds, sure, because you want a piece of that offense, right,
Speaker 1: But you know Woods, uh, you know, Cooks, Girly, Gerald
Speaker 1: Everett for God's six, And I don't know. That's that's
Speaker 1: that's a good point. It's the one thing that we
Speaker 1: really have to do. Check now, Josh Reynolds had a
Speaker 1: good week a couple of weeks ago. But the one
Speaker 1: thing that has been consistent with the Rams offense not
Speaker 1: just that they put up a lot of yards and
Speaker 1: a lot of points, but that it's been a very
Speaker 1: concentrated offense. It's really only been four players involved in it.
Speaker 1: Girly and the three wide receivers. Uh. Now we see
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbie scores of touchdown the other day. Is Gerald
Speaker 1: every getting snaps? I want to take a look at
Speaker 1: what the snapsots have been the last three weeks. Think
Speaker 1: gets absorbed by woods and cooks or do you think
Speaker 1: there's enough for someone like like? I think there would
Speaker 1: be somebody else out there. Kiki Kuti is still out there.
Speaker 1: And you know, George Kurtz wrote an article on Rhado
Speaker 1: Experts about the Bye uh by low Sell high kind
Speaker 1: of trade article and he mentions Kiki Kuti in there
Speaker 1: because I think he'll be forgotten about with the addition
Speaker 1: of to Marius Thomas and the Bye. I think might
Speaker 1: two weeks before that he was injured, then there's the Bye.
Speaker 1: There's a number of people have been in that situation.
Speaker 1: All right. Let me throw out some other names. Jordy
Speaker 1: Nelson and Martevis Bryant banged up for that dumpster fire
Speaker 1: that is the Oakland Raiders. Do you want any piece
Speaker 1: of Brandon LaFell uh not a not over the names
Speaker 1: that I just mentioned. Even if Nelson and Brian somebody's
Speaker 1: got a cash ball. Yeah, I mean, they're not scoring
Speaker 1: true at all? What you think Josh Reynolds was gonna
Speaker 1: get into fighting in the locker room. Guys are asking out.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. Let's go to the front
Speaker 1: of the media, and I mean, it's it's bad out there.
Speaker 1: But you know we have under tickets on the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Yes we do. I mean actually so they are one
Speaker 1: in nine. Did we just cash? Yeah? Did they have
Speaker 1: their buy it? I'm just trying to do this math. Now,
Speaker 1: let's look, have we already cashed? Just getting close? We
Speaker 1: might have Well, we'll check that in the break. Let
Speaker 1: me let me bounce some names off you guys. You're
Speaker 1: looking at that. In Chicago, Anthony Miller has gotten six
Speaker 1: plus targets four games in a row. Taylor Gabriel has
Speaker 1: sort of a guy that you were high on, has
Speaker 1: sort of faded into the back. It's been a surprise
Speaker 1: for me, but been Anthony Miller. Would you take Anthony Miller?
Speaker 1: Who was now owned? So had somebody text me today
Speaker 1: a similar question, would you take? Who? Do I need
Speaker 1: a wide receiver coming up for Dudobi's And they sent
Speaker 1: the screenshot. They sent me a screenshot of who was available,
Speaker 1: and their top two guys were Sutton and Anthony Miller.
Speaker 1: And I said I would put in for Anthony Miller
Speaker 1: right now. But I really want to take a look
Speaker 1: at the schedules moving forward on those two players. So
Speaker 1: I'll take a look at Denver schedule while you bring
Speaker 1: up Chicago schedules. So Denver schedule here, as they sit
Speaker 1: at three and six coming off their bye week, They're
Speaker 1: gonna be at the Chargers, then they play the Steelers,
Speaker 1: and they're at the Bengals, at the Niners, then play
Speaker 1: the Browns at the Raiders and the Chargers. So two
Speaker 1: Chargers matchups, likely with Joey bosat back and mix h.
Speaker 1: Then you got the Steelers defense playing a lot better.
Speaker 1: The Bengals uh first team in NFL history to give
Speaker 1: up over five under yards of offense three weeks in
Speaker 1: a row. They fired their decoordinators result of it. You
Speaker 1: got the Niners, who just gave up twenty seven points
Speaker 1: to the New York Giants at home. They did that,
Speaker 1: and then the Browns who not really stopping anybody. I mean,
Speaker 1: they did a good job against the Falcon's the other day,
Speaker 1: but that's not Murders roll. I think you could get
Speaker 1: some points going there with Courtland Sutton. Chicago is similar
Speaker 1: for the rest of say the fantasy regular season, which
Speaker 1: is three games left Minnesota, So you don't love that, right,
Speaker 1: The Xavier Rhodes and the crew at Detroit at the
Speaker 1: Giants you think Big Place Sleigh and jenk Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and these guys are not These guys are not guarding
Speaker 1: Miller there on, like Allen Robinson's right, So I mean
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a toss up. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: could be you know at Charger, Steelers at Bengals at
Speaker 1: forty Niners, Browns at Raiders, kind of like that. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a nice that's a nice soft landing by them.
Speaker 1: But it was the playoffs at Biers, Browns at Raiders.
Speaker 1: That's the Raiders twice in there, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: at Niners, Browns at Raiders, that's the three. I'll take that.
Speaker 1: That's a better playoff schedule than the Bears, who are
Speaker 1: the Rams, the Packers and and at San Francisco. Um,
Speaker 1: so it was close. Let me ask you this though.
Speaker 1: Here's another guy, um you mentioned Kiki Qt. He was
Speaker 1: on my list as well. Check this out though, and
Speaker 1: you made the point with the boys and stuff. Check
Speaker 1: your league, okay, because there have been a number of
Speaker 1: guys who have been dropped that should not be dropped
Speaker 1: because of the byes. It forces weird decisions at times.
Speaker 1: I think we talked a week or two ago Larry
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald was owned in like scent of leagues. Let me
Speaker 1: give you two names, okay, in Yahoo formats. These guys
Speaker 1: are owned in the seventies, so they're worth a check
Speaker 1: at least the aforementioned Alan Robinson, who hasn't had a
Speaker 1: few good games he was owned. Go grab Allen Robinson.
Speaker 1: Here's another name. I mean, how do you feel about
Speaker 1: Corey Davis also owned? And only seventy pc of leagues
Speaker 1: give these guys checks? Right, That's what I would say,
Speaker 1: real quick, Blue, It's I'm not excited about this guy
Speaker 1: at all. But I'm just saying my crab Tree is
Speaker 1: available in a league I'm in, will Need is available.
Speaker 1: I don't let it either of these There's a chance
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson is throwing them the ball in a
Speaker 1: week and a half. I agree, but just get just
Speaker 1: hear me out. Like, if you have a couple of
Speaker 1: the teams that we just mentioned, I mean the Pats
Speaker 1: are on by you might have Julian Edelman or Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon and you need somebody, really sneed. His last game out,
Speaker 1: he caught seven passes for fifty eight yards. I'm not
Speaker 1: excited about it. I'm just saying Anthony Miller is there too,
Speaker 1: Zay Jones, which they're on a by anyway, but I'm
Speaker 1: just looking to some other names. David Moore, so it
Speaker 1: starts to get weak. But you know, we have to
Speaker 1: keep in mind that some of these guys are there.
Speaker 1: Keeling Coles, the guy has been dropped everywhere I want,
Speaker 1: I don't want me neither, But Dnte Moncrieff is the
Speaker 1: one guy that I do mentioned Donte Moncrieff this morning.
Speaker 1: I have Dnte Moncrieff in scott Fish Bowl. Didn't play
Speaker 1: him the other day, but he's that it's the Colts.
Speaker 1: Let's ask some questions. We got the status over each
Speaker 1: side from the YouTube chat. My men Demetrius b Jack Doyle,
Speaker 1: and Trey Burton the rest of the way. I'd rather
Speaker 1: have Doyle, but he's got Eric Ebron there to mess with. Also,
Speaker 1: probably a week three touches. It's probably a week tweks scenario,
Speaker 1: but I'd rather Jack Doyle. I think Luck has more
Speaker 1: eyes for Doyle than Rabinsky has for Burton. I think
Speaker 1: that's right, and I am more confident that what we've
Speaker 1: seen out of Luck in the last month is more
Speaker 1: stable than what we've seen at Trabisky. Trabisky is killing
Speaker 1: it right, He's QUB seven. But Andrew Luck the three
Speaker 1: four touchdowns a game. I'll take that to the bank. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: so I agree. I agree with him on that. May
Speaker 1: I see this. Prisma asked me, handcuffed Jalen Jalen Samuel's
Speaker 1: or Stephen Ridley. I think it's Samuel's who is now
Speaker 1: the handcuffed to James Conner Steelers fan. I think it's Samuel's.
Speaker 1: I'll go with Samuel's as well. Yeah, he's a younger kid,
Speaker 1: but I mean yeah, I mean, if you're gonna do
Speaker 1: the handcuff thing, I think you can go with Samuel. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And by the way, check in Yahoo settings. At least
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. Jalen Samuel's has
Speaker 1: tight end eligibility. You can see that he's he's sort
Speaker 1: of it's interesting, so hey, maybe that's way to go.
Speaker 1: But I agree, Priism, we agree on um Jaylen Samuel's
Speaker 1: lands D asked me, would you pick up John Ross,
Speaker 1: Mohammed Snow or Josh Dotson. That's rough. Hopefully you have
Speaker 1: better options. It's not for me, So it was like
Speaker 1: fifth in that pecking order right Ross is intriguing if A. J.
Speaker 1: Green continues to miss time. He did touchdown yesterday, but
Speaker 1: Josh Dotson is like the number one receiver in Washington
Speaker 1: right now. Crowder is never getting back, Chris Thompson's never
Speaker 1: getting back more. Harris is a nice little slot guy.
Speaker 1: But of these three, I think you got the best
Speaker 1: chance with Josh Dotson. The difficult part of it is
Speaker 1: that A trust Dotson a little bit more as a player,
Speaker 1: but that Bengals offense scores a lot more on average
Speaker 1: in Washington does They're winning sixteen to three games. They're
Speaker 1: missing three offensive linemen. They're gonna play it so you're
Speaker 1: gonna play well. We don't know when though, these toe
Speaker 1: injuries for the bigger wide receivers, those things linger, it
Speaker 1: could be a long time. I just think they're gonna
Speaker 1: play it so close to the vest in Washington, they're
Speaker 1: gonna try and just ball control it and play good defensive.
Speaker 1: The defense is pretty good. Their their defensive backfield was
Speaker 1: miserable for a month. They did give up four hundred
Speaker 1: yards the other day, but at the same time rapid fire.
Speaker 1: Here at last two jazzy Ff. Should I pick up
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson? No, No, you don't think his rushing potential
Speaker 1: alone can be himself in the QB two conversation if
Speaker 1: he's starting resime. If you're in a two QB league,
Speaker 1: you always have to take a shot. So if it's
Speaker 1: a one leg, I'm not expecting to blow the roof
Speaker 1: off the place. Now. The Jack Doyle question, Doyler the
Speaker 1: Reverend Superstar, Jimmy Graham Doyle, Yeah, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 1: I think Jack Doyle guy, even with Ericy Brown going crazy,
Speaker 1: Alie Cox is catching touchdowns basketball absolutely. So here's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do, because we gotta take a quick break.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out the phone number. Okay, guys, the
Speaker 1: number to call. You don't know the number. It is
Speaker 1: three four seven seven six seven six six one four.
Speaker 1: Again the number call three four seven seven six seven
Speaker 1: six six one four. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: give you some running backs on waivers. Will answer your
Speaker 1: phone calls. And if Mike Blewett decides to stick around,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to be a guest judge for hashtag
Speaker 1: Game of Inches. We got some Game of Inches nominees
Speaker 1: from week ten. I'll give you the premise and we'll
Speaker 1: let you decide which one is a final ist. Hey, Danny,
Speaker 1: does that sound good? Are you comfortable? Are you okay
Speaker 1: with Mike Blueott helping decide Game of Inches winners for
Speaker 1: week ten? What is this? Normally Danny segment? Normally Danny
Speaker 1: four the better. It's all about getting as much information
Speaker 1: as possible. No collusion, I promise. Here's what we're gonna do,
Speaker 1: running back waivers Game of Inches nominees, and your phone
Speaker 1: calls when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle three
Speaker 1: four seven seven six seven six six one four that's
Speaker 1: the number to call. And by the way, I'm in
Speaker 1: the chat room and I got fifty likes right now.
Speaker 1: By the time I come back, I want to see
Speaker 1: that up to six p seventy. Can you do that
Speaker 1: for me? Lanz Davis, can you do that for me?

Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle right here. Stats over beat cipher. We got
Speaker 1: the YouTube chat going. We got to spit in statistician
Speaker 1: my man, Mike blew it. It feels like it feels
Speaker 1: like it's the morning. It does. I missed you this morning,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to make sure I came back. You
Speaker 1: are missed two in my friend. Trust me that real
Speaker 1: real quick checking the pole question right now, thirty nine
Speaker 1: of people are saying, what's the proper tackle? Is the
Speaker 1: least confusing? Thirty one percent say what's a catch? And
Speaker 1: then the us. The question I asked was which is
Speaker 1: the least clear to you? Yeah, so people say what's
Speaker 1: the tackle is still least clear to them? The one
Speaker 1: that's the most recent one in the contract rules, the
Speaker 1: most recently the recency bias of it all. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get into these waivers, because listen, I've been telling
Speaker 1: people we help them win their leagues and win their cash.
Speaker 1: You could be five and five right now about to
Speaker 1: make a push, so you need some help here. All right,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. I just went five and
Speaker 1: five in one league, and I'm it's no league that
Speaker 1: I'm in with you. No, no, that's my that's my
Speaker 1: worst team. But we're actually ironically tied for first place.
Speaker 1: Somehow divisions get set up and now there's like four
Speaker 1: or five and five teams. All right, so let me
Speaker 1: say this. I did these waivers in the morning with
Speaker 1: the King Scott Angle. So I'll give you one guess
Speaker 1: as to who thinks he who he thinks you need
Speaker 1: to add at the running back position, Absolutely correct. With
Speaker 1: shod Penny coming off his hundred eight yards at a touchdown,
Speaker 1: quick turnaround, maybe Carson it looks like he may be back.
Speaker 1: But listen, rookie running back second half of the season
Speaker 1: start to ascend. I've been talking about Sony, Michelle carry
Speaker 1: on Johnson, so I'm not mad at him, but of
Speaker 1: course it was the Seahawks. Question No. Three point? I
Speaker 1: won my matchups? Uh last week? Last week I was so,
Speaker 1: you know, one of my good friends. I'm in a
Speaker 1: long time four teen team dynasty league. Going into that
Speaker 1: week last week, I was eight and one in first place.
Speaker 1: I was playing the seven and two second place teams.
Speaker 1: Going into Sunday night, he still had alson Jeffrey Golden, Tate,
Speaker 1: se Kwan Barkley and the forty Niners defense. How many
Speaker 1: points was he? Now? I was up by like three
Speaker 1: going into Sunday night and he had those four guys.
Speaker 1: I had zach Ertz. Yeah, alright, so let's use a
Speaker 1: shot Penny as the bar. Alright, Um, Doug Martin is
Speaker 1: owned atent of Leagues. He's a lead running back for
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. Would you rather have Doug Martin or
Speaker 1: Rashod Penny? Penny? But he's still with the King Scott Angle. Alright,
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna give more work to Josh Adams,
Speaker 1: the kid out of Notre Dame. What do you think?
Speaker 1: I think? I'm with Josh Adams on this. But you
Speaker 1: know what, so this is a hard one only because
Speaker 1: Scott has detailed rightfully. So, though how much the Seahawks
Speaker 1: are running the ball six of the time, their run
Speaker 1: past balance is more skewed running than any team in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Russell Wilson completed something like fourteen
Speaker 1: passes in a recent win. So, I mean, the point
Speaker 1: about um date, Mike Davis, Chris Carson and Penny is
Speaker 1: it do you think do you really think they're going
Speaker 1: to split the ball evenly? And I think we're not
Speaker 1: going to find out for sure in four and forty
Speaker 1: eight hours and they play Sunday night, I mean Thursday
Speaker 1: night with Green Bay, like we're not gonna know. I
Speaker 1: think you're right, and I think that Penny is likely
Speaker 1: to ascend over this next month, but I want to
Speaker 1: see it Thursday night first. I've seen it with Josh Adams.
Speaker 1: I've seen him be the lead. I've seen Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: talk about him. Right. You know what's crazy. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at a waiver wire in one of my leagues, and
Speaker 1: it is a league with keeper potential and whoever drafted Penny,
Speaker 1: so that's viable longer term. I like that one, all right.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask you about another rookie similar situation
Speaker 1: as Kiki Qt, a rookie who missed some games his
Speaker 1: team had a buy. I'm talking about Royce Freeman. Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman owned in fifty of leagues. Would you have average
Speaker 1: shot Penny of Royce Freeman just because of the amount
Speaker 1: of touches we have seen, even when Freeman has been
Speaker 1: playing well. I heard Scott's point about Philip Lindsay, and
Speaker 1: I think he's right in the sense that Lindsay's seeing
Speaker 1: a variety of touches that's better than Freeman. But I'm
Speaker 1: just comparing Penny to Freeman on what could be the touches.
Speaker 1: Carson does complicate it like also, why would they bring
Speaker 1: Carson back on a short week? So you have to
Speaker 1: think of that for this week. Um, it is going
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see and your I think your
Speaker 1: point is fair that we don't know exactly what the
Speaker 1: three backs will look like. But wouldn't you if you're
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and your Pete Carroll just want to see
Speaker 1: what you have in Penny here for the last seven weeks. Yes,
Speaker 1: but as a fantasy owner, I would prioritize Doug Martin
Speaker 1: or Roy's Freeman and guys where there's like only two
Speaker 1: mouths to feed as opposed to the three unknowns. But
Speaker 1: could I make the argument that even with the two
Speaker 1: touches that the two guys in the backfield in Denver
Speaker 1: and the three in Seattle, say all of them are playing,
Speaker 1: they're still gonna see the same amount of touches. You
Speaker 1: could make that argument. Um, I don't know I'd buy it,
Speaker 1: you know, necessarily, Um and Martin, maybe I'd rather have
Speaker 1: a shard because the Raiders is gonna be down and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But Royce Freeman has always intrigued me. Um,
Speaker 1: and so I I digress. Here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get the phone line right now backs you're
Speaker 1: talking about, and they're probably gonna see a similar amount
Speaker 1: of touches. Uh. Seattle has been running the ball more effectively.
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm leaning towards Penny. I hear you. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't believe when you're hedging right
Speaker 1: and you're saying, well, what if something happens to Lindsay,
Speaker 1: then Freeman sees the ball twenty times in this scenario,
Speaker 1: two guys need to happen if wire in week eleven, right,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for I think a stable five points. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think I need a shot because I'm likely
Speaker 1: This is just because you know I have Brita on
Speaker 1: a bye or I have James White on a by.
Speaker 1: Most likely there were no huge running back injuries last week,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So if I'm in this situation,
Speaker 1: it's likely a one week kind of thing in my opinion.
Speaker 1: So in that scenario, give me the five six points instead.
Speaker 1: If I could swing with Penny and wind up to one.
Speaker 1: I do think, though, that you have to still be
Speaker 1: looking ahead, right We're not. We haven't seen any running
Speaker 1: back injuries. But when Scott said on a show last
Speaker 1: week and you heard me, I vehemently objected to what
Speaker 1: he said. I understand that he's frustrated with Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: but under no circumstances should he have been released by anyone.
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis is a guy that played thirty eight of
Speaker 1: a possible nineties six games for the first sixty years
Speaker 1: of his career. He's obviously while he has been healthy
Speaker 1: now for sixteen last year plus ten this year, great
Speaker 1: run so far, twenty six weeks in a row that
Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten heard, plus playoff games I would note
Speaker 1: that he has a major injury injury history, and if
Speaker 1: he went down and the Titans offense is playing better, finally,
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for it. Derrick Henry would be would
Speaker 1: explode on the fantasy scene if anything happened to Deanna Lewis.
Speaker 1: We haven't spoken this week. Um oh, bad week for me.
Speaker 1: Went into uh, you know it on the track. I
Speaker 1: didn't text you, but I was all over the Packers
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning. I saw it's completely spaced and the Pats.
Speaker 1: I was close. I thought I had that over is.
Speaker 1: You know how in me and Scott's a f C
Speaker 1: South regular season winch Well, I have the Titans and
Speaker 1: the Colts and he's on the Jags and the Texans
Speaker 1: who didn't play. So you know it wasn't night. Now
Speaker 1: the magic number went down, let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: I think the magic number was cut in half. But
Speaker 1: I digress. We got some callers on the line, but
Speaker 1: I want to get nine wins. Yeah, and I got
Speaker 1: ten in the pocket, so we're good to go. Um,
Speaker 1: first caller out there, Hey, Danny, let's go to Jacob
Speaker 1: in Vegas first. Jacob is first on the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher in the Fantasy Freestyle. He knows that what
Speaker 1: happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. He knows about the
Speaker 1: spearmint excuse me, the winter fresh packaderms out there? Shall
Speaker 1: we say, Jacob? What's going on? My man? You want
Speaker 1: the fantasy Freestyle? You know what's going on? Speed you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right? How are you feeling doing good?
Speaker 1: All right? Um so? Um I I just made a
Speaker 1: nice trade. I got Robert Woods. Um I gave a
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Okay, who's your on the quarterback? Um? I
Speaker 1: have Cam Newton and you're fine? Love it, love it?
Speaker 1: And this is the thing, and do me a favorite, Jacob.
Speaker 1: This is a great point once, especially after next week,
Speaker 1: once we are through the buys, you are casting aside
Speaker 1: all of your bench players to organize yourself for the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So you could you could do whatever with that wide
Speaker 1: receiver five, that running back six, that backup tight end
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. So I love what you just did there, Jacob,
Speaker 1: flipping Wentz and getting a piece Robert Woods, who was
Speaker 1: only going to grow an opportunity without Cooper cup I
Speaker 1: love that, Jacob. What else you got and I'll bring
Speaker 1: up Yeah, I'll bring up one point to Jacob to
Speaker 1: ask you other question. I'll give you an anecdote after that.
Speaker 1: So um r os, I'm having trouble with my slicks
Speaker 1: between Holiday and t Y Hilton or Dion. I like
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis. I would Dion Lewis, then Golladay then Hilton
Speaker 1: for me, Dion Lewis, to Mike's point, has been playing well.
Speaker 1: He's the lead back in Tennessee. He does work in
Speaker 1: the passing game as well. I like Dion Lewis. Second
Speaker 1: for me, there would be Golladay Jacob because without Golden
Speaker 1: Kate and now Marvin Jones is also banged up. He's
Speaker 1: got a knee, so I like Golladay's opportunity as well.
Speaker 1: I think you're fine with Dion Lewis or Golladay Jacob
Speaker 1: than anytime brother Man called back, anytime make a point
Speaker 1: about what you were saying regarding roster when you please,
Speaker 1: please do so. A couple of years ago, in one
Speaker 1: of my leagues, I was in first place and easily
Speaker 1: had the best team this one particularly year in this league,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to salted away. This is probably three no,
Speaker 1: I don't think I did. And this is when Brandon
Speaker 1: cooks In and Zach Ertz were rookies. So I traded
Speaker 1: and Zachs as a rookie wasn't that ductive. It was
Speaker 1: just the thought process that he was going to take
Speaker 1: over for Brent Selick. So I traded to Marius Thomas,
Speaker 1: who was in the throes of a really big season,
Speaker 1: and I gave away Cooks and Art's. Now both Cooks
Speaker 1: and Art's had real value as keepers because that was
Speaker 1: a keeper league. So my point in telling you that is,
Speaker 1: and by the way, I didn't win the league. Everybody
Speaker 1: thought like, well, this is kind of ridiculous. He's gonna
Speaker 1: win now, and I didn't. I got upset in the
Speaker 1: semis stuff happening. But my point in telling that story is,
Speaker 1: don't try to win the trade. Trying to make a
Speaker 1: fair trade. And you know what happened to the guy
Speaker 1: that got Cooks and Earth's. He kept them both at
Speaker 1: big discounts because I had drafted him next to you
Speaker 1: on the league. There you go, so you just got
Speaker 1: to be fair about it. Bad breaks happened to me
Speaker 1: that year, but I was trying to be fair. And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you do it for the goodness in
Speaker 1: your heart. I'm saying that's the way you make legitimate trades.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he got gave away wins for woods,
Speaker 1: but maybe that guy was desperate. Maybe maybe that guy
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady and and uh you know Nick Mullins Quarterbackeld.
Speaker 1: That's true. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we're going
Speaker 1: to Connor. And by the way, Mike, I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you Connor calls every week. Connor is most points in
Speaker 1: his league, but it's three and six and has reeled
Speaker 1: off his name the names of his roster. Connor is deep. Connor.
Speaker 1: Let's go. We gotta hear from you down in Tampa.
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Did you get a win? Are
Speaker 1: you four and six? Are you back in contention? Connor?
Speaker 1: What's up? Yeah? I'm four and six. We can make
Speaker 1: my last rumba, like, tell me well, if you're you're
Speaker 1: starting line up again from my man, Mike blew it
Speaker 1: because I I believe this is a team that could
Speaker 1: be leading in points. This is like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got Patty my Home, Sam Barkley, Joe Mixing, Mike Thomas, Corey.
Speaker 1: It is done. Kenny j All right, sounds like you
Speaker 1: should be better than three and six. You're four and six.
Speaker 1: How can we help you get to keep that? Wind
Speaker 1: Street going to your playoff contender? What's going on? Connor?
Speaker 1: So my question is, I'm so apparently may a dude
Speaker 1: Jared Cook? Should I pick him up in John fasmdoald
Speaker 1: Jared Cook over Vance McDonald. Listen, here's the thing. I
Speaker 1: want no part of the Oakland Raiders. I want no
Speaker 1: part of the Oakland Raiders. Um they are you know,
Speaker 1: they're not trying. They're worried about their tea times on
Speaker 1: like January three in the Caribbean somewhere. So no, I
Speaker 1: keep vans. He got a touchdown last week. He's still
Speaker 1: farming the world. Give me Vance McDonald in that, just
Speaker 1: because I want no part of any Raider right now? Alright, Connor?
Speaker 1: What else? You got anything else for me? All right?
Speaker 1: Give me one more brother? One? Yeah, I gotta keep
Speaker 1: it moving. Did Chris Thompson like, like, can I just
Speaker 1: drop him before? Um? Like either like Josh Adams or
Speaker 1: Eliza McGwire or Shot Penny or Anthony Milburgh ump talking
Speaker 1: about Josh Adams. Right, it's possible. Listen, you know I
Speaker 1: understand you being kind of like done with Tom Msen.
Speaker 1: It's been what a month and a half at this point.
Speaker 1: Same with like Jamison Crowder there in Washington. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you though, I was done with Marlon Mack and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you about that. He's four and six. He can't
Speaker 1: wait around for Chris Thompson anymore. He needs to win now.
Speaker 1: So yes, Connor, I am okay with that. Josh Adams
Speaker 1: can help you, maybe even a lie. Well the Jets
Speaker 1: were on by, but Josh Adams could help you. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would make that move. It is time to cut
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson because you need to win the next three weeks. Right,
Speaker 1: Connor called me back on Thursday. I gotta get in
Speaker 1: another call O'Connor, But thanks for being part of the
Speaker 1: stats over beat Cipher for the next call. I'm selling
Speaker 1: Scott Angle in our gs T league. I'm nine and one,
Speaker 1: he's eight and two. He got me at the right time.
Speaker 1: You got some Marvin Jones, A J. Green Cup, I got,
Speaker 1: I got Frank Gore, Laja McGuire, Corridor All Patterson and
Speaker 1: George Kittle all on tie. It's all timing our last
Speaker 1: call on the day. Liz and Callie what's going on, Liz.
Speaker 1: You're part of the Fantasy Freestyle stats over beat Cipher.
Speaker 1: We hope you are safe away from those wilds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's going on, Liz? Oh? Yes, yes, I'm okay. I'm okay,
Speaker 1: but it's pretty close. But I'm okay right now, al right,
Speaker 1: glad to hear it. I have three questions are pretty straightforward.
Speaker 1: One start Big Ben over the Jags. Yeah, I'm okay
Speaker 1: with it. The Jags are not what they have been
Speaker 1: and the Steelers are rolling. Yes, I'm okay with you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Yes, what's question number two? Liz?
Speaker 1: The second one is dropped MVS forts and seven and
Speaker 1: this is standard and standard that was scantling a sudden.
Speaker 1: They're kind of a coin flip to me, um with
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I'd rather Aaron Rodgers throwing my guy
Speaker 1: the ball than case Keena Randall Cobb throwing up zero. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'll have a slight lean to MVS. But I
Speaker 1: think it's real close, Liz. But I'm okay with you
Speaker 1: keeping MVS in that scenario because Alison's on ir Cob,
Speaker 1: it's catching up with him. So I'm okay with MVS.
Speaker 1: What's the last one, Liz, Okay, in the last one
Speaker 1: is defense the best defense to stream? I'm thinking Cardinals
Speaker 1: or Ravens the best defense to stream this week? You're
Speaker 1: thinking the Cardinals or the Ravens. Let me bring up
Speaker 1: their matchups real quick, Cardinals or the Ravens. Ravens have
Speaker 1: another a f C North team, right, don't they have?
Speaker 1: The Ravens have Cincinnati. The Ravens have since Um And
Speaker 1: the other one you was saying with the Cardinals, right,
Speaker 1: Arizona has Oakland. Oh, Arizona, Arizona at home against Oakland.
Speaker 1: That's my answer, all right, absolutely, thanks for giving the
Speaker 1: call the show. Hey, Danny, we only got a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes left. Can I get you in here, my man?
Speaker 1: So here's what we do, blew it. Every week, these
Speaker 1: guys send me screenshots of Game of Inches like they're
Speaker 1: bad beats, horrible losses. Okay, and we've been bouncing them off, Danny.
Speaker 1: And what I got is my guy, Kenneth Cashman in Rotorwear.
Speaker 1: They're gonna give a free shirt to the wordst the
Speaker 1: beat of the season. Right. So here are my nominees
Speaker 1: for this week, Danny and Mike Blewett we only got
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Um Clayton Trey Hand, good friend
Speaker 1: of the show, lost by half a point point five.
Speaker 1: You know what beat them? I was facing Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: the catch that Tom Brady had Philly Philly beat beat
Speaker 1: Clayton Trey Hand. This week they lost by half a point.
Speaker 1: Could have been a lot, could have been a lot
Speaker 1: worse for him, all right, David David at Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: get hurt and got negative seven from the Jets defense.
Speaker 1: That's tough and only lost by a point. Would have
Speaker 1: set it, could have put a zero in their defense
Speaker 1: and would have won. But got negative seven from the
Speaker 1: Jets defense. That's a bad one. Right. Oh man, he's
Speaker 1: given me the music. We got Robert Murphy who lost
Speaker 1: by point zero eight, grabbed me another main run by
Speaker 1: point three because they had zach Ertz in that last drive.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about it on Thursday. From my man
Speaker 1: Mike blewotot who. I'll talk to you later on in
Speaker 1: the week. Stats over beat Cipher, Hippie up at Spitting
