Speaker 1: you could you know a shoe the main wide receivers
Speaker 1: and actually mad be get a two tight end line
Speaker 1: up into uh your DFS strategy this week. We call
Speaker 1: it the car donno, the Corey Parsons offense. I think
Speaker 1: there could be a two tight end potential. We're also
Speaker 1: gonna take any of your calls, questions, comments. The number
Speaker 1: to call is eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. Will check in on the YouTube chat
Speaker 1: as well, but we gotta poll question up on Twitter.
Speaker 1: So many ways to engage with the Fantasy Freestyle and
Speaker 1: the stable genius that is Speeds the spitting statistician. I
Speaker 1: want to know which favorite do you like best to
Speaker 1: cover their spread this week? I don't want you just
Speaker 1: saying in Pat's okay because they got a thirteen and
Speaker 1: a half point spread against the Titans. Is it the
Speaker 1: Vikings laying five at home against the Saints. Is that
Speaker 1: the Steelers laying a touchdown at home against the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: Or is it the road favorite Atlanta Falcons going into
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and laying a field goal. Let me know we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it as we head into the weekend

Speaker 1: Dane Martinez species that decision, this cable genius of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Network, and we are back on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: We gotta get you ready for Divisional weekend. I think
Speaker 1: it is the best weekend in all of football. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have two games tomorrow. You've got two games on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So I like it better than the super Bowl because
Speaker 1: the super Bowl is really like an event. The pageantry,
Speaker 1: the commercials, the halftime show, what color gatorade will be
Speaker 1: dropped on the coach f C n NFC Championship game
Speaker 1: is great, but that weekend you only have games on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You only have two games. This weekend, you have four
Speaker 1: games to get into and you got the one in
Speaker 1: two seeds in action. Which is why I like it
Speaker 1: better than Wildcard weekend because you know, the Pats and
Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Vikings were on the sidelines. This
Speaker 1: you see the best teams in football getting after all
Speaker 1: weekend long. So I gotta give you some news and
Speaker 1: notes from around the league. Not much about the teams
Speaker 1: that are playing this weekend. IM a lot about coaching
Speaker 1: news and some of the player movement that we might
Speaker 1: expect in the offseason. Check this out. The NFL is
Speaker 1: looking into the Oakland Raiders higher of John Gruden, to
Speaker 1: see if they fulfilled the Rouoney rule. Now, if you
Speaker 1: don't know, the Rooney rule is that teams may must
Speaker 1: interview at least one minority candidate. And if you look
Speaker 1: at this the way it seemed, it seemed like John
Speaker 1: Gruden to the Raiders was just like a boom fit
Speaker 1: that happened. And the question is did they actually go
Speaker 1: through the motions or actually interview any African American candidates.
Speaker 1: They say that they interviewed t Martin, who's the offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator from nearby USC, and they also interviewed their own
Speaker 1: internal tight end coach, Bobby Johnson. Seems like they did
Speaker 1: a little retroactively. But I'm not that mad at it,
Speaker 1: to be honest. I just think these things should not
Speaker 1: become a trend. It seems like the Browns have big
Speaker 1: time interest in Alex Smith in free agency. I think
Speaker 1: this could be an interesting fit. You know, Alex Smith
Speaker 1: does not turn the ball over. Also, the Browns GM
Speaker 1: uh Dorsey was the GM in Canto City when they
Speaker 1: got Alex Smith, so they're familiar with Alex Smith's work
Speaker 1: and listen, to be honest, Alex Smith in a career year,
Speaker 1: he is going to have options. It looks like the
Speaker 1: Chiefs are moving on from Alex Smith, but really, you know,
Speaker 1: isn't Alex Smith pretty much the most desired quarterback outside
Speaker 1: of maybe Kirk Cousins in this free agency period. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have Kirk Cousins, You're gonna have Alex Smith. You're
Speaker 1: probably gonna have Tyrod Taylor. People think you might have
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, although I don't think he's moving anywhere. I
Speaker 1: don't think Drew Brees is gonna hit the market. So
Speaker 1: Alex Smith could be a very coveted UH signal caller
Speaker 1: in the off season. And if he's coveted, he ain't
Speaker 1: gonna wind up in Cleveland, all right. They're also saying
Speaker 1: that New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is now
Speaker 1: the favorite and for not only the Detroit Lions job
Speaker 1: that we talked about before, but also the New York
Speaker 1: Giants job. I think that could be interesting, especially if
Speaker 1: it sounds like Smagnola has fallen out of great and
Speaker 1: he is no longer a candidate there. It looks like
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are zoning in on Pat Schermer. Remember, if
Speaker 1: Shermer goes, it looks like he might take Kate's Keenom
Speaker 1: with him, and that could be a natural fit. Because
Speaker 1: Carson and Palmer has moved on and retired from the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers have hired offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
Speaker 1: I think this is an interesting fit. I don't know
Speaker 1: that I'm behind it, and the reason is because North
Speaker 1: Turner is a kind of with his quarterback, drops back,
Speaker 1: stand and delivers the ball with accuracy and something like
Speaker 1: a West Coast system. That's what he did with Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford in years past and why he had like sevent
Speaker 1: completion rate last year. I don't know that Cam Newton
Speaker 1: fits that skill set. You want Cam Newton to be
Speaker 1: able to make plays. Accuracy has not always been his thing,
Speaker 1: So keep an eye out on that. In Buffalo, the
Speaker 1: Bills mafia is rejoicing because the Bills have fired their
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Rick Dennison after only one year. This is
Speaker 1: now gonna be like the fourth scheme in four years
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. We got my guy, the fantasy
Speaker 1: best friend forever, Mike Florio in the Fantasy of Mystery.
Speaker 1: Later on, when we're talking DFS lineups, I gotta ask
Speaker 1: him how he feels about Rick Dennison getting canned by
Speaker 1: the Bills as well. Listen, they're gonna probably have a
Speaker 1: new quarterback now, They're gonna have a new scheme, so
Speaker 1: a lot of things up in the air for McDermott
Speaker 1: up there in Buffalo. Also check this out. I think
Speaker 1: this is interesting. The Denver Broncos, their coaching staff, is
Speaker 1: coaching the Senior Bowl. The Houston Texans are the other
Speaker 1: coaching staff coaching the Senior Bowl. The Broncos have asked
Speaker 1: specifically for Baker Mayfield to be on their team so
Speaker 1: that they can see him in practice, so they can
Speaker 1: see him in meeting rooms, so they can get the
Speaker 1: real deal scouting on the Baker Mayfield to decide if
Speaker 1: they maybe want him to be the next quarterback for
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. To be quite honest, I actually think
Speaker 1: they should look to the team I was talking about
Speaker 1: just now, Buffalo. I think Tyrod Taylor would be a
Speaker 1: great fit in Denver. Remember, Tyrod Taylor is a guy
Speaker 1: who has the lowest interception rate of all time in
Speaker 1: the NFL. And if you give that defense a quarterback
Speaker 1: that has some rushing ability and doesn't turn the ball over,
Speaker 1: I think Denver can get right back into contention. The
Speaker 1: last note that I'll say here is that Larry Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: has come out and said he is still noncommittal on
Speaker 1: his future. Remember Bruce arians walked away, Carson Palmer walked away.
Speaker 1: I think that fitz he is not gonna want to
Speaker 1: deal with a new quarterback, a new coach. I think
Speaker 1: he may not retire, but I don't think he'll be
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals come two thousand and eighteen. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got a lot to discuss, and we're gonna start
Speaker 1: doing speeds versus the kids in a little bit. But
Speaker 1: what I wanna do is I want to bring on
Speaker 1: my home girl, Ashley a Brea. You Ashley needs answers.
Speaker 1: You see her sometimes with us on Lineup Block Live
Speaker 1: on Sunday. She's always representing the fantasy pit of misery
Speaker 1: down there on the fourth floor. Ashley. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Ventro was supposed to be back, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: get at him about some of the verses that he
Speaker 1: did on my show, The Fantasy Freestyle with the stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher. I understand that you were producing when
Speaker 1: I was gone in Asia, when Venture was up here
Speaker 1: doing the show. I understand you heard some of the
Speaker 1: lyricism of the analyst Chris Venture. Is that correct, Ashley? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's definitely it's possible. It's definitely possible he redeemed himself
Speaker 1: the second time around. So tell me about this, because
Speaker 1: I still have yet I heard. I've heard the one
Speaker 1: that everyone says he redeemed himself the second time around,
Speaker 1: and to be quite honest, that was like you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So like, what was this first one?
Speaker 1: I still have not heard this first attempt that people
Speaker 1: are apparently saying it's very bad. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it because I don't want to hear it until
Speaker 1: he's here alive to be able to defend himself. But
Speaker 1: but give me a little thumbnail sketch. What was so
Speaker 1: bad about his first square into uh, you know some
Speaker 1: bars on the Fantasy Freestyle. Well, I mean he got
Speaker 1: into it and all that came out of his mouth
Speaker 1: was dilly dilly, and that's it. And that's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he did not finish his verse, not at not
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, in his defense, he did get
Speaker 1: distracted by Corey of him that what Corey do? What
Speaker 1: Corey do to distract him? Like, okay, alright, fair enough,
Speaker 1: So do I I need to hear this, I guess
Speaker 1: at some point, but we should not play it now.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. No, I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it until Chris Venture is back here to
Speaker 1: be able to defend himself. I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: about people who are not here. I texted him and
Speaker 1: I told him I'm not going to re hear this
Speaker 1: or react to it until he is here to defend himself.
Speaker 1: I only think that would be right, because you know,
Speaker 1: that's what stable geniuses do. Oh my goodness, Hey, I
Speaker 1: respect it. Okay, all right, but you but but it
Speaker 1: was not his first one was not that good. Huh.
Speaker 1: It was awful. Okay, alright, it makes me, it makes
Speaker 1: me want to hear it even more. But I'm not
Speaker 1: going to the other thing. I wanted to ask you
Speaker 1: about Ashley because, as you know, UM, when I was
Speaker 1: in Asia, UM, the Fantasy Sports network had a tragic loss.
Speaker 1: Um we we lost our mascot, Ted Finn Jr. I
Speaker 1: don't think I can talk about this. Yes, this is hard.
Speaker 1: I know it was. It was definitely hard to imagine me.
Speaker 1: I'm serious. Ash. I was in Thailand. I was literally
Speaker 1: half a world away, twelve hour time different, which literally
Speaker 1: halfway around the world. And I saw it on my
Speaker 1: own Twitter feed, and you know, I got. I felt
Speaker 1: some kind of way about it. I felt some kind
Speaker 1: of way about it, absolutely, I did. I poured a
Speaker 1: little bit out for Ted Finn Jr. Okay, I did.
Speaker 1: It was the brand that they have. The brand of
Speaker 1: beer out there is Tiger Beer, and they have Chang Beer,
Speaker 1: and you also have Singha Beer. I'm serious. I I
Speaker 1: had all three of these in might travels. I like
Speaker 1: the Tiger I like the Tiger Beer. I was into
Speaker 1: the Tiger Beer. Um. The Singha Beer was alright. The
Speaker 1: Chang Beer I had on an airplane, so I feel
Speaker 1: like that might have been like the knockoff stuff, the
Speaker 1: low the low level stuff. But it was all good.
Speaker 1: It was good, you know. I also had my fair
Speaker 1: share of tequilia. I also had my fair share of
Speaker 1: whiskey as well, you know, those big things over there.
Speaker 1: But when I was over there, I found out that
Speaker 1: Ted Gin you know, left us, and so what we
Speaker 1: did hear ashes. We put a pole question up and
Speaker 1: we said, how should we replace Ted finn Jr. One
Speaker 1: of the options was to get another fish. Another option
Speaker 1: was to get another um animal that was not a fish.
Speaker 1: One option was to do nothing and never replaced Ted,
Speaker 1: to honor him and honor him in a different way.
Speaker 1: And then there was like you know, other and people
Speaker 1: were people were suggesting all sorts of stuff. I had
Speaker 1: one person big shout out to Jilly Dilley from the
Speaker 1: stats over beat Cipher said that we should get a
Speaker 1: turtle and maybe name him levy on Shell instead of
Speaker 1: Levyan Bell, which I liked. Um Bovona was real big
Speaker 1: on getting a venus fly trap. What do you think
Speaker 1: we should do to move on from Ted Finn Jr.
Speaker 1: I can't do the hair. I can't do the hair.
Speaker 1: I'm allergic to the hair. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: human hair. No, no, I'm allergic to dogs and cats
Speaker 1: and all sorts of hair. I can't have it. Well,
Speaker 1: someone did say we should just get an honorary plaque
Speaker 1: and like put the plaque up in somewhere here, you know,
Speaker 1: in studio, in Studio thirty four and maybe not get
Speaker 1: another mascot, but just honor almost like a tombstone for
Speaker 1: Ted Finn. What do you think I mean? We could,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, you know we have to
Speaker 1: replace the dead fish we do, so you do think
Speaker 1: we need another mascot at some point? Yeah, it's whatever
Speaker 1: American family does. This is what we do. Fair enough,
Speaker 1: fair enough. Hit me up on Twitter at Spit and
Speaker 1: Speeds if you have ideas on how we should move on.
Speaker 1: When we move on in this show, we make our
Speaker 1: divisional round picks. And by we, I mean Speeds, I
Speaker 1: mean Florio, I mean Venture and the kids because Speeds
Speaker 1: loves the kids. Right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Have

Speaker 1: It's your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, the
Speaker 1: stable genius of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And we
Speaker 1: gotta get to my picks for a divisional weekend. I
Speaker 1: got a number of picks to get to. I'm going
Speaker 1: back and forth with our guy, the analyst, Chris Ventra.
Speaker 1: He went too and two last week. Okay, he had
Speaker 1: the Rams, which was incorrect. He had the Chief which
Speaker 1: which was incorrect. So Ventra went too and too. This week,
Speaker 1: Chris vent Uh has the Falcons, the Pats, the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Vikings. Those adventurous picks straight up. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my picks in a hot second.
Speaker 1: But first we got to hear from the kids. Okay,
Speaker 1: because as you know if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: we did this last year Speeds versus the kids. None
Speaker 1: of the kids were able to beat me, although there
Speaker 1: were some that came close. But this year, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna crush these kids. Okay, we already
Speaker 1: heard from Zoe, uh take the points Garlic yesterday. What
Speaker 1: I wanna do now is I want to first, we
Speaker 1: are going to hear from Audrey, and that is Goose
Speaker 1: the Goose. There, We're gonna hear from Audrey and her picks.
Speaker 1: I think she has some very interesting rationale and when
Speaker 1: she's making her picks here, I want you to think,
Speaker 1: does she really care about America or not? Let's hear
Speaker 1: Audrey Goose's picks right here for Division A weekend. We
Speaker 1: want to hear your picks for Uncle Deane's radio show.
Speaker 1: All right, first matchup, who do you think we'll win?
Speaker 1: And why? Atlanta Falcons versus the philbi Alphia Eagles. I
Speaker 1: strenk that the Eagle is gonna win because of course Eagles,
Speaker 1: American eagle is the American symbol, so of course the
Speaker 1: Eagles are win. So of course she's riding with America.
Speaker 1: Audrey is riding with America. So far, let's see what
Speaker 1: happens New England's Patriots versus the Tennessee. So she's got
Speaker 1: to take the pats right. Well, I'm gonna say the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans because I really liked um Greek mythology and
Speaker 1: I really like I don't really like them, but the
Speaker 1: Titans are interesting. Okay, Greek mythology, I take it. Although
Speaker 1: I thought she was riding with the USA, and wouldn't
Speaker 1: you get behind the Patriots if that was the case.
Speaker 1: But so far, Audrey's got the Eagles and the Titans.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it rolling. And you think somehow they'll anal
Speaker 1: some of that ancient Greek yes God power on game day? Okay?
Speaker 1: I like about your earlier logic went out the window
Speaker 1: the Patriots. What about the American pride? There? No I done? Okay.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers versus Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville Jaguars. Decided about the Jaguars. No,
Speaker 1: keep going, Flora, let it play, baby, Okay, got to
Speaker 1: have that. Minnesota like that versus the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: And this one I'm upset about. I don't really believe
Speaker 1: in it. Um. I like my Kings though they're interesting,
Speaker 1: are like their pointy hats? What do you mean you
Speaker 1: don't believe in that? This is what I want to know,
Speaker 1: what kind of thing? See? I don't believe this is
Speaker 1: my girl Audrey. I gotta tell you something. This is
Speaker 1: my god daughter, okay, and she is out there now
Speaker 1: saying that she does not believe insane and it's picking
Speaker 1: against New Orleans. I have some extra worker to do
Speaker 1: as a godfather. She's riding with the Greek mythology of
Speaker 1: the Titans, but won't get down with the Saints. We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens at Easter goose. That's all I gotta
Speaker 1: say about that. Okay. So to recap, Audrey is on
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Titans, the Jags, and the Vikings. All right,
Speaker 1: let's now go to another I believe a eight year old,
Speaker 1: seven year old. This is Michaela. She represents the West
Speaker 1: Coast all the way out there in California, and she's
Speaker 1: got picks as well. Can we hear Florio? Who does
Speaker 1: Michaela like in the Falcons Eagles game? Hiday I wanted
Speaker 1: to make let's make some picks, then, Michaela. First matchup
Speaker 1: coming from MICHAELA Connors. It's Falcons versus Eat. That's irrationality
Speaker 1: because they're the bird of America. So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are going with this bald eagle idea.
Speaker 1: This is the bald, you know, the the Eagles of
Speaker 1: of America. Let's see who. Let's see let's see who
Speaker 1: MICHAELA likes in the Titans Patriots game though, because she's
Speaker 1: with Audrey so far. Okay, for the next game, we
Speaker 1: have the Tennessee Titans at versus the New England Patriot.
Speaker 1: Who you got, Michaela? Because I think to bear the
Speaker 1: color of our flag. Gotta like that, Gotta like that
Speaker 1: she's going with colors. She is repping America hard with
Speaker 1: the bald Eagles and with the red, white and blue
Speaker 1: of the Patriots on. Michaela is on Eagles and Pats.
Speaker 1: This next game is the Steelers and the Jaguars. And
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something. If you know Michaela like
Speaker 1: I do, you know who she's riding with. It's the
Speaker 1: cat scratch fever. Let's see who she's got your Steelers
Speaker 1: and Jaguars. Third matchup first Sunday is the Jaguars versus
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I think the dad they're going to win. Good.
Speaker 1: My favorite time of the animal, the cat. Absolutely. I
Speaker 1: could have told you that if there is any cat
Speaker 1: in play against anybody else, Michaela is riding with the cat.
Speaker 1: Whether that be the Panthers or in this case, the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: So Michaela so far has the Eagles, the Pats, and
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Let's see who she has in my game
Speaker 1: of the week Vikings versus Saints High Games. And for
Speaker 1: the final matchup, we have a New Orleans Saints as
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. I think more are going to win
Speaker 1: cause they have gold and black, Golden black. You know,
Speaker 1: I was way for some of these kids to get
Speaker 1: into the color scheme, right, Golden black is as good
Speaker 1: as anything to me. So to recap what MICHAELA has
Speaker 1: his Eagles, Pats, Jaguars, and Saints. We got one more
Speaker 1: kid picker and it's my man, Tito. Tito is about
Speaker 1: to make his picks. Let's see who Tito likes for
Speaker 1: divisional weekend. I gotta tell you he went away from
Speaker 1: some of the picks of his sister, who we've already heard.
Speaker 1: Let's see who Tito has and he's got some great analysis.
Speaker 1: Let's play that. Okay, this is for Uncle Dane's radio show.
Speaker 1: Tell me who you think will win and why Atlanta
Speaker 1: Falcons versus the Philadelphia Eagles. I think yeah, and the
Speaker 1: skin because because that because I think they're just stronger.
Speaker 1: He's going with the Heriots versus the Tennessee Titans. You
Speaker 1: because I think their name is cooler. It's just a
Speaker 1: cooler name. It's just a cooler name when it comes
Speaker 1: down to its versus Jacksonville Jaguar. That Jacksonville Jaguars because
Speaker 1: it has a jaguar? Did jaguars have a jaguar? So
Speaker 1: let's go strong and stack and sneak. What about the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings versus the New Orleans Saints. Minnesota Vikings versus
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints Minnesota because um, I think that,
Speaker 1: um that they just have a better chance, because m hmm,
Speaker 1: I think they have any. Listen, sometimes you gotta go
Speaker 1: with your gut, and Tito is going with his gut,
Speaker 1: and that is the Minnesota Vikings, the New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Can you tell
Speaker 1: how every single kid has picked the Jacksonville Jaguars. There's
Speaker 1: something about these cats, these kids, Like, I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you something now, it is speeds versus the kids, So
Speaker 1: I gotta give you my picks. Let's start right away
Speaker 1: in that Steelers Jaguars game. I am going against the kids.
Speaker 1: This is where I make it ahead of the kids.
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: would be just fine with his calf. I think there's
Speaker 1: no way Big Bent throws five interceptions. I think they
Speaker 1: try to focus as a defense on Leonard four Nette.
Speaker 1: I think they do that and try to force Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles to win the game, and I don't think that
Speaker 1: will happen. I think Pittsburgh at home, they are rolling.
Speaker 1: I think they continue to roll. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1: I like them to cover the seven points spread. Give
Speaker 1: me the Steelers in a twenty to ten win on Sunday.
Speaker 1: All right, the other game, New England and Tennessee. I
Speaker 1: give props to Zoe who went with the Titans, to
Speaker 1: my girl Goose Audrey who went with the Titans. But
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're talking about. The New England
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna wipe the floor with the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: I think this is a bad matchup for them. I
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are in fu mode. I think that
Speaker 1: that Tennessee secondary can be had. What they what the
Speaker 1: Titans need to do is with exatic smash Mouth, try
Speaker 1: to stay in the game, shorten the game time of possession.
Speaker 1: I think it gets away from them, and I think
Speaker 1: it gets away from Marcus Mariota. Give me the New
Speaker 1: England Patriots. I will even lay the thirteen and a
Speaker 1: half points in this one. I like New England. Call
Speaker 1: it thirty four seventeen. I like the Patriots, and I
Speaker 1: like them to cover the spread in another game. Though.
Speaker 1: Here's where I go a little bit different than the
Speaker 1: conventional wisdom. I'm taking to New Orleans Saints in Minnesota. Okay,
Speaker 1: in Week one, the Vikings winen that was before Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lattimore was a thing, that was before Alvin Kamara is
Speaker 1: a thing. I think the Saint's offense is the most
Speaker 1: complete offense in the NFL. I think they are going
Speaker 1: to create a little bit of problem for the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Vikings defense because they can do so many things. And
Speaker 1: I also think, similar to what we saw with the
Speaker 1: Rams last week, young quarterback you know at home, I
Speaker 1: think this is not a home field advantage. I think
Speaker 1: this is home field pressure. The Vikings have heard all
Speaker 1: season long that they can host the Super Bowl, that
Speaker 1: they can host the Super Bowl. I think they're getting
Speaker 1: a little ahead of themselves. I like the New Orleans
Speaker 1: Saints to pull an upset and what I believe will
Speaker 1: be the closest game of the weekend, give me the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints to twenty one. I think when the
Speaker 1: chips are down, I'll take Drew Brees over Case Keenum.
Speaker 1: When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'll
Speaker 1: give you my pick for the first game of the weekend,
Speaker 1: and then we'll bring in my boy Mike Florio, a
Speaker 1: fantasy best friend forever. We'll talk DFS lineups and we'll
Speaker 1: hear he likes in Divisional Weekend as well. Just boy
Speaker 1: Dane Martinez. We got the stats over beat Cipher and
Speaker 1: it includes kids picking games. You though. We put the

Speaker 1: back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. We just did a little bit of
Speaker 1: speeds versus the kids. The kids gave us there picks
Speaker 1: for the divisional round. I'm giving you mine as well.
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep track of our records. Last year, none
Speaker 1: of the kids could pick the games ahead of me.
Speaker 1: You know, we're building credibility for our expertise here. I
Speaker 1: am a stable genius after all. I want to give
Speaker 1: you my last pick. The last game is the Eagles
Speaker 1: and the Falcons. I gotta tell you something. I gotta
Speaker 1: stick with my people. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: you know I was high on the Eagles all season long.
Speaker 1: At the beginning of the season, before anybody else was
Speaker 1: on them. I said the Eagles would win the NFC East.
Speaker 1: I said they would get to the NFC Championship Game. Now,
Speaker 1: I understand that when Nick Foles it's completely different. But
Speaker 1: the other thing if you listen to the fantasy freestyle,
Speaker 1: you know is that I have to pick the home dogs.
Speaker 1: The home dogs has been a trend that I have
Speaker 1: gone with all season long and has advised my clients
Speaker 1: to go with as well. And we have a situation
Speaker 1: where we have a home dog here, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the Philadelphia Eagles. I believe that this defense
Speaker 1: can do regardless of Carson Wentz. I believe that Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan and the Falcons offense on the road grass At
Speaker 1: still not gotten it fully together. And I believe that
Speaker 1: the Eagles, their run defense, bolstered by that defensive line,
Speaker 1: can create problems for the Eagles and their run game
Speaker 1: and then try to force it to be nick Um
Speaker 1: nick Foles. I think Nick Foles can respond offensively, and
Speaker 1: like I said, excuse me, I think the defensive line
Speaker 1: can create problems for the Atlanta rushing game making it
Speaker 1: be Matt Ryan, and Matt Ryan has not looked like
Speaker 1: the m v P as of late. I like the
Speaker 1: home doll. Give me the Philadelphia Eagles. That crowd will
Speaker 1: be ravenous as well, and it's gonna be something like
Speaker 1: forty degrees thirty five degrees, So you take that Southern
Speaker 1: Dome team. I think they may have some issues. Give
Speaker 1: me the Philadelphia Eagles. But before we go to Mike
Speaker 1: Florio to talk DFS, we gotta call around the line
Speaker 1: from the hashtag stats overbeat Cipher. Haven't had a caller
Speaker 1: in a while, so I want to get my man,
Speaker 1: Stephen in Massachusetts on the Fantasy Freestyle. This is a
Speaker 1: guy who's part of the Stats overbeat psipher or what's
Speaker 1: going on? Stephen? Happy New Year? Dilley, Dilley, Happy New
Speaker 1: Year's Beeves, How's how's everything? Did you end up winning
Speaker 1: your league? Man? Absolutely, I won my league and I
Speaker 1: won that cash. You know what it is. Guys like
Speaker 1: zach Ertz on Christmas Night certainly helped me out. But yes,
Speaker 1: I did raise a trophy. Check my Twitter timeline. You
Speaker 1: could see me toasting it, popping bottles on Christmas Night
Speaker 1: as I won my trophy. How about you, Steve, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't then winning, but hey, I see that's probably
Speaker 1: why you ended up going on that vacation. Man. You
Speaker 1: had to spend a little bit of that money. I
Speaker 1: had to spend a little that cash that I won,
Speaker 1: and it's always good to uh rubbing it rubbing into
Speaker 1: the guys that you beat. Uh. Absolutely, I sent I
Speaker 1: sent to all those guys pictures of myself holding a
Speaker 1: trophy holding my champagne bottle. Uh. The next day on
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle, we had a life size champagne bottle. We
Speaker 1: was celebrating. Baby. It was It felt really good. But
Speaker 1: we keep on moving. What do you think about these
Speaker 1: games this weekend? How are you doing there? You WoT
Speaker 1: anybody and put any action on? What do you think
Speaker 1: is gonna happen this weekend? Uh? I haven't put any
Speaker 1: action in, but but I know, if I know as
Speaker 1: a Homer, I definitely expect the New England Patriots to
Speaker 1: a crush the Titans. If that doesn't happen, man, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be shocked. Listen. I hear you, man, I hear you. See.
Speaker 1: Would you like Do you like them? I like the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I like them to cover the thirteen and a half
Speaker 1: point spread. I think they eviscerate the Titans. I think
Speaker 1: it's a bad matchup. I think it's something like I
Speaker 1: just said thirty four seventeen fourteen, something like that. Unless
Speaker 1: the Titans running game gets going early in the game.
Speaker 1: I do not see how the Titans can keep up
Speaker 1: with them. So Steve, do me a favor. I like
Speaker 1: you guys this week. If you guys move on to
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game, it might be a
Speaker 1: little different though, So do me a favorite. Steven, call
Speaker 1: me back next week so we could chop it up
Speaker 1: about the a f C Championship Game. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can. I can definitely do that. Hey, before before
Speaker 1: you let me go, I had to shout a quick
Speaker 1: question up. I was just I was just wondering, uh,
Speaker 1: because I already heard you talking about the scenarios about
Speaker 1: what's going on in the next year. I was just wondering,
Speaker 1: is there is there anything that that intrigues you next year,
Speaker 1: Like if one player, uh like like local signs to
Speaker 1: another team that that might interest you into until like
Speaker 1: a fantasy football Yeah, early, but I just want to
Speaker 1: get your thought. Yeah, absolutely, we were talking about that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some of that again next week. But listen,
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide as a free agent. I think that where
Speaker 1: he moves is very interesting. There's some wide receivers as well.
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Josh Gordon, keep an eye on
Speaker 1: a R fifteen and Allen Robinson. I think those guys
Speaker 1: can move both move to interesting scenarios that will help
Speaker 1: them out. I also think that some possession receivers might
Speaker 1: find their way to New England. As a Patriots fan,
Speaker 1: I would keep my eye on two guys that I
Speaker 1: think could be there. One is Jarvis Landry from Miami,
Speaker 1: a great possession receiver to tie to take that Edelman
Speaker 1: amandle Roll And the other can you imagine if Larry
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald wants to end his care year by trying to
Speaker 1: get a ring. I think that could be possible that
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald moves away from Arizona to try and get
Speaker 1: a ring in a one year scenario, and I think
Speaker 1: New England would be a great landing place for that.
Speaker 1: When we get a little bit closer in free agency hits,
Speaker 1: i'll tell you about the moves and implications there for
Speaker 1: your fantasy two thousand A team team. But it was
Speaker 1: great talking to you, Steve. Dilly Dilly. Holler at me
Speaker 1: next week when we're talking about the a f C
Speaker 1: Championship Game. Alright, alright, guys up next on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. We only have a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. But I want to give you some DFS love.
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna bring in
Speaker 1: my guy, the Fantasy BFF, Mike Florio. What I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do here, Florio is I want to give out my
Speaker 1: DFS lineup on Fan Duel, and then I want to
Speaker 1: talk about some of the guys that you may have,
Speaker 1: some of the guys you may really like, and I
Speaker 1: want to get your take on the kids picks for
Speaker 1: Divisional round as well. Sound good, Florio? All right? Cool?
Speaker 1: So let me tell you something. Uh, in a cash game,
Speaker 1: I think you gotta have Tom Brady as your DFS quarterback. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think it's a eight match up against the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans are twenty five in the league against
Speaker 1: the past, fourth against the run. The way to beat
Speaker 1: them is via the past. I think Tom Brady has
Speaker 1: to be the chalk. But here's the thing. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: gotta go with the chalk because you can't have Tom
Speaker 1: Brady throw for three touchdowns and you not have him
Speaker 1: on your lineup. So I got Tom Brady. I'm stacking
Speaker 1: him though, However, with the tight end Rob Gronkowski I
Speaker 1: think Gronk and Brady is going to be the answer.
Speaker 1: I think Gronk will have a field day across the
Speaker 1: middle of the field. I will say this, I believe
Speaker 1: you can go with zach Ertz as well. I think
Speaker 1: zach Ertz is going to get a dozen or more
Speaker 1: targets in their game against the Atlanta Falcons. Remember, I'm
Speaker 1: picking the Eagles to win this game outright. The Eagles
Speaker 1: have been home dogs in the playoffs three times in
Speaker 1: their history. All three times they won the game outright.
Speaker 1: I think zach Ertz is a viable tight end, but
Speaker 1: I'm stacking Tom Brady with Rob gron Calky. On fan Duel,
Speaker 1: my running backs are Davonte Freeman and Derrick Henry. Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry is way to cheap on FanDuel. At only sixties
Speaker 1: seven hundred. He is the ninth most expensive running back
Speaker 1: on fan Duel. I think he creates value. You can
Speaker 1: get Henry for a lower price than J. G. I
Speaker 1: E Or Dion Lewis or Latavius Murray. I think Henry
Speaker 1: will be the way that the Ttency Titans try to
Speaker 1: shorten the game and stay in the game against New
Speaker 1: England on Saturday. Then at wide out. I'm going away
Speaker 1: from some of the heavy studs, the number one white outs.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a week where
Speaker 1: the number two wide receivers eat and produce for you.
Speaker 1: So that means I'm going Stefon digs at seventy three
Speaker 1: hundred because I think Marshawn Lattimore will be on Adam Feeling,
Speaker 1: so I like, Stephen, can you digs it? I'm going
Speaker 1: with Nelson a galore in Philly. I think he's got
Speaker 1: the slot on lock. I think he has the big
Speaker 1: play potential, and I think Philly will need that. True.
Speaker 1: Font has also been impressive lately as the quarterback from Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I think he'll be on al Shan Jeffries will give
Speaker 1: me Nelson are at four hundred and then give me
Speaker 1: Mohammed It's a new day at fifty eight hundred. I
Speaker 1: think Julio will be the focus of the Philadelphia pass defense,
Speaker 1: and Julio has been a little gimpy and at times
Speaker 1: he's out there as a decoy. I just didn't have
Speaker 1: enough money. Give me Mohammed Sanu. He's a reliable target
Speaker 1: and in the red zone, Mattie Ice looks his way
Speaker 1: already told you Rob Gronkowski a tight end, and I'm
Speaker 1: going with a home defense. I think Philadelphia is gonna
Speaker 1: win the game. And I think that because they win
Speaker 1: the game, I think it's gonna be a lower scoring game.
Speaker 1: I also think there could be some weather tomorrow in
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia area. Give me the defensive line on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: for only forty six hundred. Hey, Florio, am I crazy
Speaker 1: with my lineup? Are there any specific guys that you
Speaker 1: want to tout that I don't have in my lineup?
Speaker 1: Do you think my lineup is piss poor, blunt, guts trash,
Speaker 1: defecating the mattress or do you think I know what
Speaker 1: I'm doing to win a little bit of cash? I mean,
Speaker 1: you went through the line up and there's a couple
Speaker 1: of guys I have different, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: all the nuts and bolts are the same. Like I
Speaker 1: have Brady, I have grown Hogan. I think you gotta
Speaker 1: star with Brady and Gronk right in a cash game.
Speaker 1: I think so too. But you like Hogan as your
Speaker 1: wide receiver of choice. Why do you trust him coming
Speaker 1: back from the shoulder injury right away? I have him
Speaker 1: because he's a little bit cheaper, so I paired him
Speaker 1: with Adam Dealing as well. Adam DeLand is the one
Speaker 1: I paid up for over Brandon Clicks. Are you um?
Speaker 1: I went Diggs because I'm concerned about Marshawn Lattimore. Um,
Speaker 1: Me and Tony have been talking all week though about
Speaker 1: Lattimore and we don't know who he's gonna cover. We
Speaker 1: think Feeling can go in the slot. We think Diggs
Speaker 1: can go in the slot as well. Are you afraid
Speaker 1: at all? Not afraid? But does Marshawn Lattimore give you
Speaker 1: any cause for pause? The reason I went Dealing was
Speaker 1: actually because I think Lattimore is going to be on Diggs.
Speaker 1: We really we know that Dealing plays the slot a
Speaker 1: lot and Marshall on Lattimore is really an outside corner.
Speaker 1: So I could see Lattimore on Diggs and Feeling being
Speaker 1: the one that feasts in the slot. That could be interesting.
Speaker 1: That will be the matchup. When you're watching that game
Speaker 1: at four forty on Sunday Eastern time, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to see right away which wide receivers the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Vikings put in the slot because they are trying to
Speaker 1: get that match up away from Marshawn Lattimore. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you this real quick, Florial, what defenses do you like?
Speaker 1: Because you know, you got a great defense in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: but they're facing a Hall of Fame quarterback. You've got
Speaker 1: a great defense in Jacksonville, but they're facing a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback. Right, So where are you going defensively
Speaker 1: this week? I wouldn't with the opposite of you. I
Speaker 1: went with the Atlanta Pumpkins because they they've been in
Speaker 1: the top ten for lowest yards allowed this season, both
Speaker 1: passing and rushing. So can you're fading Nicky Foles? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think Nick. If there's any quarterback this week that
Speaker 1: I feel confident could turn the ball over a couple
Speaker 1: of times, I think it's Nick Foles. Wait, do you
Speaker 1: think Nick Foles is going to turn the ball over
Speaker 1: more times than Blake Bortle? Service, It's it's possible. Those
Speaker 1: are the two guys I think that you want to
Speaker 1: pick on it for a defensive purpose. Al Right, fair enough,
Speaker 1: we shall see do me a favorite here, Florio. When
Speaker 1: we come back. What we're gonna do is we're gonna
Speaker 1: check in on the poll. Okay, I was asking people
Speaker 1: which favorite do you like to cover the spread. Now
Speaker 1: the Patriots have the biggest spread. I know everyone likes
Speaker 1: New England, but can they cover the two touchdown spread?
Speaker 1: We'll find out what the people think. And then Florio,
Speaker 1: I also want to get your straight up picks for
Speaker 1: divisional weekend and see, because I gotta get you in
Speaker 1: this contest against the kids. I think some of the
Speaker 1: kids might outperform Chris Venture. We're gonna find out if
Speaker 1: some of the kids outperform a best friend forever Mike
Speaker 1: Florio as well. All that, whereas we tie a nice
Speaker 1: neat little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: When we come back right here on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network, we check in on the poll. We see
Speaker 1: what Florio, thanks for the weekend and happy it goes
Speaker 1: up against the kids, because you know, we got a
Speaker 1: contest going here on the Fantasy Freestyle with the statue
Speaker 1: over Beat Cipher and spitting speeds. Come on right back.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the
Speaker 1: award winning Fantasy sports Radio Network. Dane Martinez bes the
Speaker 1: spinning statistician, the stable genius of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: bringing you in to a divisional weekend. I already told
Speaker 1: you I like the Eatgles. I think the hate has
Speaker 1: gone too far, you know. I like the Home Dogs.
Speaker 1: I think Nick Fold will do enough and set up
Speaker 1: this defense to carry the day in Philadelphia. I like
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots to cover the thirteen and a
Speaker 1: half point spread over the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night.
Speaker 1: I like the Steelers to win the game. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're going to cover the I would pass
Speaker 1: on that game. I would not bet that game, but
Speaker 1: I do think the Steelers move on to the n
Speaker 1: f C Championship game and then in my upset of
Speaker 1: the week I like. I like the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: I was talking aboutbout how I wanted the Saint Steelers
Speaker 1: Super Bowl since you know, like early November. So I
Speaker 1: gotta ride with it. So those are my picks. A Florio,
Speaker 1: A couple of questions for you. Who do you like
Speaker 1: this weekend? My friend? I have to agree with you
Speaker 1: on the Saints. I have them going to the Super Bowls,
Speaker 1: trying to pick them, although I think if there's one
Speaker 1: game that they could lose. I'm gonna tell you something,
Speaker 1: whoever wins that game is I have beating whoever comes
Speaker 1: out of Atlanta Philly for the NFC Championship game. Because
Speaker 1: the two best teams in the the NFC. Who else you got?
Speaker 1: I have the Falcons over the Eagles. Really, so we
Speaker 1: differ there. You're taking the You're taking the road favorite. There,
Speaker 1: I'm not Matt. You think Matt Ryan can go on
Speaker 1: the road again in grass when even when they had
Speaker 1: the league's best offense last year, they only put up
Speaker 1: fifteen points in Philadelphia because I think their defense is
Speaker 1: so much better. All right, So you got Falcons. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming you got the Pats because they're might superald team
Speaker 1: in the ANFC atually, and then I'm going with the
Speaker 1: Steelers over the You're going with the Steelers. You were
Speaker 1: not you were not moved by the analysis of Goose
Speaker 1: and MICHAELA and Tito, who all thought that the Jaguars
Speaker 1: were cats that were powerful. No, no, unfortunately for the kids.
Speaker 1: I watched that whole game last week, and I'm telling you, though,
Speaker 1: what happens. What happens, though, Floria, one of the kids
Speaker 1: have a better record than you as we sit here
Speaker 1: on Monday, I'll give them credit. You'll give them credit.
Speaker 1: Oh of course, Okay, So I know you may not
Speaker 1: be producing anymore. We might have a Bivona back, the
Speaker 1: Manimal back on Monday, we may have our by the
Speaker 1: analyst Chris Ventra. But if the kids, any of the kids,
Speaker 1: had a better record than you this week, I need
Speaker 1: you to come on the Fantasy Freestyle and acknowledge that
Speaker 1: you were behind the kids. Are you okay to do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of course? All right, fair enough. And then last thing, Floria,
Speaker 1: when we were in the break, you were breaking some
Speaker 1: news for me. Who is it that may not play?
Speaker 1: What was it that, according to Pro Football Toke and Talk,
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is a true games un decision. Really, now,
Speaker 1: that is very interesting. Let me ask you this, Florio,
Speaker 1: with that news, you know what I would do. I
Speaker 1: would actually run and insert Antonio Brown in my DFS
Speaker 1: lineup because I think that means he is gonna be
Speaker 1: lower owned. I think when all is said and done,
Speaker 1: a B will be out on the field and business
Speaker 1: will be booming for him. I actually think that helps
Speaker 1: his um DFS outlook because I think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: lower owned. You actually think Antonio Brown is gonna sit
Speaker 1: this game out, no way, And I agree with you,
Speaker 1: especially if you're in a tournament, right, Yeah, absolutely. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's not a cash game move. Okay, in the cash
Speaker 1: game move, maybe that means you like a little bit
Speaker 1: more ju Ju Smith Schuster or something like that. But
Speaker 1: I think that if you want to, you know, have
Speaker 1: a lot of lineups, multi entry kind of stuff like that,
Speaker 1: you need some shares of Antonio Brown. This game time
Speaker 1: decision talk is fo gay zy. In my opinion, Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown will play and if he is, if his ownership
Speaker 1: sentage is depressed, then you need to get some shares
Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown. And I know my man Mike Florio agrees. Hey, Mike,
Speaker 1: what was the best analysis you heard from the kids? Though,
Speaker 1: what do you think that was the best point? Was it? Um?
Speaker 1: You know? Was it about the Patriots, the Greek mythology,
Speaker 1: the Saints or the cat? The power of the cat?
Speaker 1: Maybe you like the power of the cat with the
Speaker 1: cat scratch fever, it has to be the power of
Speaker 1: the cats. Yeah, there were these kids definitely like the cats.
Speaker 1: We will see I'm going Eagles, Pats, Steelers, Saints. You
Speaker 1: heard my DFS lineup. When we're back here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle on Monday, we will do an autopsy of
Speaker 1: the best weekend in football. We'll see who the final
Speaker 1: four teams are that moved to the a f C
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship, and we'll give you everything you
Speaker 1: need to win a little bit of cash moving forward.
Speaker 1: It's your boy Speeds and spitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Happy weekend. Everybody does your fantasy team sun Maybe you
Speaker 1: need us. The fantasy is
