Speaker 1: you want. You know what it is, Mr Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Let's go Frank Stanfel And here is Greg Sussman of
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Football Best Friends Forever. What can you tell

Speaker 1: you need to do is answer for treatment questions correctly.
Speaker 1: And you are going to the Big Game in Minnesota

Speaker 1: Network every day up until the Big Game because we're
Speaker 1: trying to get away tickets for you in Minnesota. It's
Speaker 1: a Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by d k MS
Speaker 1: only on the fantasy sports radio network du Block. You
Speaker 1: know what it is right here, it's the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: with doing big things hashtag stats, over beats my man,
Speaker 1: Chris Bona keeping it hot like mcmull blown up like
Speaker 1: a Samsung seven. You know what it is? All right
Speaker 1: here we go. Here's what we gotta do. I gotta
Speaker 1: give you news and notes from around the NFL. There's
Speaker 1: some practice reports, some new injuries to report. You know,
Speaker 1: we never like when someone pops up on the injury
Speaker 1: report on a Thursday. We have that situation, and we
Speaker 1: have some guys trending in the right direction, some guys
Speaker 1: trending in the wrong direction. So let's get at it
Speaker 1: before we get to the practice reports. Though, the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns have fired their executive vice president Sashy Brown. Remember
Speaker 1: you was coming in kind of trying to change the
Speaker 1: way the organization was run. They were gonna do like
Speaker 1: a little moneyball action, borrowing it from baseball, not any
Speaker 1: more than not. They fired Sashy Brown. They are saying, though,
Speaker 1: that head coach, you Jackson, will get to keep his
Speaker 1: job for now. Aaron Rodgers there saying, quote unquote looks
Speaker 1: like himself at practice those are all great reports, but
Speaker 1: I looked at the Packers schedule and weeks fifteen and
Speaker 1: sixteen day have the Carol nine of Panthers in the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Those are not two teams I would want
Speaker 1: to return against. So that gives me cause for pause
Speaker 1: as it turns to Aaron Rodgers and anybody stashing him
Speaker 1: for a championship run. Also, Ryan Shazier was moved from
Speaker 1: Cincinnati hospital to a Pittsburgh hospital and he was he
Speaker 1: required spinal stabilization surgery last night. Um. That doesn't sound good, um,
Speaker 1: and so we just hope that he's okay, and we hope,
Speaker 1: you know, um that if he wants to, he can
Speaker 1: continue his incredible start to his NFL career. I will
Speaker 1: leave it at that. Our prayers and our thoughts with
Speaker 1: you from the stats overbeat Cipher in the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: are with you, Ryan Shazier. It also looks like mark
Speaker 1: Ingram will in fact be good to go tonight. Remember
Speaker 1: he missed the last two practices last few days because
Speaker 1: of a toe injury, but maybe they would just fire
Speaker 1: getting ready to fire him up tonight as the Saints
Speaker 1: take on the Falcons. Listen, not practicing today. Alan Hearns
Speaker 1: didn't practice with an ankle. That's more Mark Easley and
Speaker 1: that's another opportun ready for D. D. Westbrook to shine.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon didn't practice. Still in the concussion protocol, I
Speaker 1: believe Giovanni Bernard is a fire up DFS play if
Speaker 1: Mixon does not go. Damien Williams did not practice, still
Speaker 1: has that shoulder injury. That means Drake to me is great.
Speaker 1: On Monday Night football against the Pats TV twelve. Tom
Speaker 1: Brady did not practice today with that Achilles injury. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. They're likely managing his reps, but
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots expect Tom Brady to play in
Speaker 1: seven more games, four more regular season games, a divisional matchup,
Speaker 1: a conference championship game, and a big game up in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: For him to be having a misspractice because of an
Speaker 1: achilles injury, now, I don't know what that means for
Speaker 1: the next two months and in the playoffs, they might
Speaker 1: have to see Saxonville, they might have to see some
Speaker 1: big time pass watchers. We will see Adrian Peterson didn't
Speaker 1: practice because of that. Next still, Jeremy Macklin did not
Speaker 1: practice today. This is a downgrade for Macklin. He was
Speaker 1: limited in practice Wednesday and then he didn't practice today.
Speaker 1: That is trending in the wrong direction in my opinion
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver. Remember they got Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: who's a solid pass defense these days, so I would
Speaker 1: fade Macklin regardless. Also, Jalen Ramsey didn't practice today. Again,
Speaker 1: they were saying he was supposed to. Maybe he'll go tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I think this is very interesting as it relates to
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, as it relates to Doug Baldwin, especially Doug Baldwin.
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin does a lot of work out of the
Speaker 1: slot for the Seahawks. Jalen Ramsey, though, follows people into
Speaker 1: the slot. A J. Bouye, on the other hand, does not.
Speaker 1: So if he doesn't go, I think you all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, really can pump up Doug Baldwin. This week,
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor was limited but did practice. But he can
Speaker 1: barely walk, so he got a monitor. That's still Sterling
Speaker 1: Shepherd got in a limited practice. Remember yesterday we talked
Speaker 1: about it wasn't Calice, it was Key up my neck
Speaker 1: mob back. There's always something with Sterling Shepherd if he goes,
Speaker 1: I like him against the Dallas Cowboys. Secondary Doug Martin
Speaker 1: back practicing with creating a clouded running back committee in Tampa.
Speaker 1: Joquas Rogers, Doug Martin, we saw Peyton Barber. We know
Speaker 1: Charles Simms is in there on passing downs as well.
Speaker 1: I stay away from that situation entirely. New. Add to
Speaker 1: the injury report, and this one is important for a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the playoffs. Robbie Anderson, New York
Speaker 1: Jets oncoming wide receiver tweet a hammy in practice today.
Speaker 1: It is a new injury. Keep an eye out on
Speaker 1: him and his practice report tomorrow. Matt Stafford practice today.
Speaker 1: Looks like he'll be okay and he'll tough it out.
Speaker 1: He's a gamer. He'll go. Chris Hogan practicing again. This
Speaker 1: is very interesting and could be great timing because the
Speaker 1: Pats will be without Rob Gronkowski on Monday night. Maybe
Speaker 1: they have the return of Chris Hogan. Greg Olson practice again.
Speaker 1: He should be good to go. Jonathan Stewart practiced again.
Speaker 1: They're probably just managing his reps because he missed yesterday's practice,
Speaker 1: so maybe he gets that veteran off day on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Another veteran running back in the same situation as Matt
Speaker 1: Forte for the Jets, did not practice on Wednesday, does
Speaker 1: practice today. That's why I'm saying it's important to note.
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. Wednesday establishes the baseline.
Speaker 1: If you go from DNP to practicing, you're good to go.
Speaker 1: And that is the case. And I think with Jonathan
Speaker 1: Stewart and Matt Forte, Kelvin Benjamin also got back to
Speaker 1: practice today. He is trending in the right direction. And
Speaker 1: I'm also like muching. Will Fuller has now practiced two games,
Speaker 1: two days in a row for the Texans. He could
Speaker 1: be back coming back from a rib injury. He missed
Speaker 1: the last three games. That could really help. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Tom Savage. Shall we say, all right, let's talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about Thursday night football. I want to give
Speaker 1: you my preview as the Saints travel to Atlanta to
Speaker 1: take on the Falcons. As I mentioned, the Falcons are
Speaker 1: home dogs. If you listen to this show all the time,
Speaker 1: you know that I always talk about betting with the
Speaker 1: home dogs. I always do. But last week the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys were home dogs in this exact situation, and I
Speaker 1: went away from them and I lost. On Monday Night Football,
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals were home dogs. They didn't win the game,
Speaker 1: but they covered the spread. Today, the Atlanta Falcons are
Speaker 1: home dogs by two and a half. Tony Sinkata gave
Speaker 1: me a great idea at the end of Lineup Block Live.
Speaker 1: He said he would tease it. I what we were
Speaker 1: on the other side of the opposite sides of the game.
Speaker 1: I would tease it so that I get a full
Speaker 1: field goal from the Falcons, and then I will ride
Speaker 1: out with that at home. The Falcons, I believe, are
Speaker 1: still a offense that is getting better and better with
Speaker 1: more experience in the Stieve Sarkesian system. I just think
Speaker 1: last week they ran into a very hot Minnesota Vikings defense.
Speaker 1: I think they can get back on the gravy train tonight.
Speaker 1: I think this game is in the twenties, but I
Speaker 1: also would take the under. The over under is like
Speaker 1: fifty one and a half fifty two. I take the under.
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those games that has
Speaker 1: a very slow first half. I think you see like
Speaker 1: ten ten and a half times something like that, thirteen ten,
Speaker 1: and then it opens up a little bit. I am
Speaker 1: very excited to see rookie Marshall and Lattimore see what
Speaker 1: he can do against Julio Jones. This kid has been amazing.
Speaker 1: Missed a couple of games because of injury, hadnt has
Speaker 1: now returned. I really want to see if he can
Speaker 1: actually handle Julio Jones. And I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 1: I think he can so in season long, if you
Speaker 1: have Julio Jones, you're in your playoffs. Of course you
Speaker 1: are starting Julio Jones. But Julio Jones has kind of
Speaker 1: been all over the map. He popped off for two
Speaker 1: d fifty plus yards, but he's also had games where
Speaker 1: he's had like two for thirty three. I think this
Speaker 1: one is somewhere in between. But I do think Marshawn
Speaker 1: and Lattimore can stick with Julio for most of the game.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll tell you my diamond and the rough
Speaker 1: for this game. Because I think Marshawn Lattimore can handle
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. I think Matt Ryan is gonna have to
Speaker 1: go elsewhere. If you listen to this show, you know
Speaker 1: who that is. It's my man Mohammed. It's a new Day,
Speaker 1: and I think he could be a viable option and
Speaker 1: a target from Matt Ryan if Julio is struggling with
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore. I also like mark Ingram if he goes tonight,
Speaker 1: and it looks like he will. Everyone is in love
Speaker 1: with Alvin Kamara these days. But don't forget I told
Speaker 1: you that these Saints running backs are right now in
Speaker 1: PPR settings RB three and four. That means mark Ingram
Speaker 1: is rbfour in the league right now, and no one's
Speaker 1: really talking about them. So to me, Mohammed Sanu and
Speaker 1: mark Ingram are my diamonds in the rough in this game.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you about my fantasy fool gaze,
Speaker 1: the guy I think you need to forget about in
Speaker 1: this game. Okay. For me, it's Tevin Coleman. I think
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman is the fool gays in this game. And
Speaker 1: let me tell you why DeVante Freeman came back from
Speaker 1: injury last week. Okay. And I think Steve Sarkasian. Remember
Speaker 1: these guys are both very solid running backs. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I think Steve Arkaesian's offense runs better when there's like
Speaker 1: a quote unquote bell cow and I think they want
Speaker 1: that to be Freeman. Last week when Freeman came back,
Speaker 1: the carries were split between Freeman and Coleman twelve to
Speaker 1: eight in favor of DeVonta Freeman. Okay, so if it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, twelve eight, I think that shifts a little
Speaker 1: bit more in the DeVante Freeman side. I could see
Speaker 1: a you know, a split of like seven team to
Speaker 1: five today, and I think DeVante Freeman produces. I think
Speaker 1: that means, uh, Tevin Coleman is my fantasy Foo Gaze
Speaker 1: someone to fuget about. Do we have that? Christ No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we don't have that. That's okay. What means phony yep.
Speaker 1: And so like I said, man, you know, if you're
Speaker 1: in season long, you have to play Julio Jones. But
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhades just shut Julio Jones completely down last week.
Speaker 1: I don't think Lattimore shuts him down. But I don't
Speaker 1: think Julio pops off for one of those crazy nine catch,
Speaker 1: two hundred yards two touchdown games either. Overall, I would
Speaker 1: take the under in this game. I think everyone thinks,
Speaker 1: oh Saints Falcon's hive powered offenses. I've been saying on
Speaker 1: this show for a long time, A long time ago
Speaker 1: that the Saints are now more of a running time
Speaker 1: of possession team to extend drives and give their defense
Speaker 1: a chance. I think that plays into the under. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the home dog. Give me the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: Give me it like a twenty seven three kind of game.
Speaker 1: Just below the under. That's where I'm gonna go. When
Speaker 1: we come back, We're gonna have my man Nick Leverani
Speaker 1: from Pro Angle Media. We're gonna talk all things l
Speaker 1: A and football, and there's a lot going on right now,
Speaker 1: so come on back. It's the Fantasy Free Style on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas.
Speaker 1: These three NFL softmores are not due to slump. They're
Speaker 1: due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network e year two, things are only getting better. Make
Speaker 1: sure listen live and tell o the app f A
Speaker 1: T s Y Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven.
Speaker 1: The best Fantasy sports ten is on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. California. He knows had a party. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: bringing a little that California love, and we got love
Speaker 1: for the West Coast. That's why right now I am excited.
Speaker 1: To bring on my man, our West Coast correspondent. We
Speaker 1: got Nick Liverani on the line. He represents Pro Angle
Speaker 1: Media out there in l A. He's been on the
Speaker 1: show a couple of times before, a true friend of
Speaker 1: the show. Hey, Nick, Dilly Dilley, you're back on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. How's it going, man, Dilly Dilley. I'm doing
Speaker 1: all right, man, I'm doing okay. I'm hanging in there
Speaker 1: out here, trying to stay inside with all these wildfires
Speaker 1: and everything. But uh, you know, it seems like everyone, no,
Speaker 1: not many people's lifestyles are change it too much out here.
Speaker 1: Everyone seems pretty common collected alright, fair enough. And Nick, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where I wanted to start with you, man, because listen,
Speaker 1: I've had callers telling me that, you know, the four
Speaker 1: five is on fire, the Rams canceled practice. I know
Speaker 1: you even had a you know, a men's league softball
Speaker 1: game canceled this week because of it. What's it like
Speaker 1: out there? Is it really kind of like a bad
Speaker 1: air quality? Do you think this can impact the players
Speaker 1: at all? You know, I think anytime you take a
Speaker 1: player out of his you know, his habits, it can
Speaker 1: affect the player um us on our med's softball league.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe not so much because our lungs are
Speaker 1: destroyed anyway, you guys are exactly, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I the last report I did here was that the
Speaker 1: Rams were still gonna go ahead and practice in Thousand Oaks,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, just a hop, skip and a
Speaker 1: jump where you know, the major brush fires were happening.
Speaker 1: But at the last I heard they were gonna stay put.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know it just accordingly if anything did happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rams, you know, they've played in London
Speaker 1: this year, They've done the whole travel, going across the
Speaker 1: across the pond, So I don't think it's gonna affect
Speaker 1: them too much. You know, a lot with the charges
Speaker 1: to I you know, I think you know, the charges
Speaker 1: have had their own mean you're you're moving families from
Speaker 1: San Diego to l A. I think these guys are professionals.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to be affected too much
Speaker 1: by it. However, you know, if the air quality does
Speaker 1: get worse, there is possibilities about moving the games, but
Speaker 1: you know that that'll put that decision will probably come
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the week, all Right,
Speaker 1: fair enough and listen. Both l A teams, I have
Speaker 1: to think would be pleasant surprises, but maybe not to us. Nick.
Speaker 1: I remember at the beginning of the season when we
Speaker 1: were previewing kind of both the Rams and the Charges,
Speaker 1: you and I, we were both a little bit higher
Speaker 1: on the Chargers than both. Right now in the a
Speaker 1: f C West there is a flat footed tie at
Speaker 1: six and six between the Chargers, the Raiders and the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, who got out of the gates very quickly,
Speaker 1: have lost something like five in a row. Hey, Nick,
Speaker 1: yesterday on the pole question, I asked who would win
Speaker 1: the a f C West of the vote? Have the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Charges? You and I both thought that they
Speaker 1: would be contenders going in. What is going on with
Speaker 1: the Charges because I remember at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: season they lost a couple of very tight games, but
Speaker 1: it seems like they have, you know, found Keenan Allen again.
Speaker 1: He has been an absolute stud. Do you think this
Speaker 1: can continue? What's going on over there in l as well?
Speaker 1: I got two words turnover differential. The first four weeks
Speaker 1: they were minus three in the turnover differential department. Now
Speaker 1: since since week four their plus fourteen and that just
Speaker 1: goes to show you, I mean that it's that defense
Speaker 1: that's actually been winning them games. I mean, yeah, Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers has looked, you know, like the Philip Vers evolved.
Speaker 1: You know, he's still his shoulder looks completely healed. You know,
Speaker 1: he's he's found his number one weapon. And Keenan Allen again,
Speaker 1: but it's those two down linemen that that have that
Speaker 1: been really disrupting game plans with Bosa and Ingram. Those
Speaker 1: guys are freaks. Absolutely, they could disrupt any Gland game plan.
Speaker 1: And that's why I think the Charges will win this
Speaker 1: weekend is because that that h Washington offensive line is
Speaker 1: so banked up. I don't think they're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to contain both those guys, if not, maybe even just one. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I agree with you they're rolling. I agree with you
Speaker 1: that Washington football team offensive line is not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to stand up to Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram.
Speaker 1: Those guys have been putting on the heat and as well,
Speaker 1: you talked about Keenan Allen on the offensive side, the
Speaker 1: other Charger. I want to ask you about, have the
Speaker 1: Charges finally figured out that their best tight end, this
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry, Like you know, I mean they got Antonio Gates,
Speaker 1: his touchdown, his record and all that. I actually think
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry is a great Dynasty League stash because eventually
Speaker 1: Gates is gonna walk away. I think this offseason and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you have a top eight
Speaker 1: tight end moving forward. Do they believe Hunter Henry can
Speaker 1: be that for them? Absolutely? I think the only thing
Speaker 1: that's been you know, hindering Henry's uh fantasy stock has
Speaker 1: been uh Antonio Gates. But you know, once he he
Speaker 1: has once he rides off into the sunset, this is
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry's you know offense because he could just see
Speaker 1: when when he gets the ball, when he gets targeted more,
Speaker 1: that offense flows so much more. And he's always there
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. He takes shots. I
Speaker 1: know he took a bad hit last week. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's playing this week. I know he's quite
Speaker 1: Shinna Bowl, but uh, you know, if if he is
Speaker 1: followed up, I do, Like, you know, Washington is not
Speaker 1: very good against the tight end, So I like either
Speaker 1: Gates or Henry this week, you know. And Keenan Allen
Speaker 1: first player to ever have ten receptions in three straight
Speaker 1: games along with a hundred yards and a touchdown. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy is a stud. You gotta keep feeding your beast.
Speaker 1: He's you know, every team's got one stud. You gotta
Speaker 1: feed him. Yeah, absolutely, and you're right. Henry did get
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit in that last game with
Speaker 1: a little bit of a knee issue, but he is
Speaker 1: currently not listed on the Chargers injury report, so it
Speaker 1: looks like he should be good to go against the
Speaker 1: Washington football team. Let's go over to the other team
Speaker 1: in l a real quick nick, because listen, the Rams
Speaker 1: have kind of been doing it all season long. Sean
Speaker 1: McVeigh has really come in there and reinvigorated that offense,
Speaker 1: and it started to mold Jared Goff. Is the development
Speaker 1: of Jared Goff? Is this like a real thing? Do
Speaker 1: you think he continues to ascend? Yeah? I mean it's
Speaker 1: just look I I always talked of when I talked
Speaker 1: about mcday, I just I talked immediately about what his
Speaker 1: job he did with the Redskins and how how he
Speaker 1: develops Kurt Cousins. He's he literally had a brand new
Speaker 1: toy Jared Goff, to mold him. However, he wanted and
Speaker 1: goff he's not. You know, the thing is he's not
Speaker 1: putting golf in a position to fail. He's putting him
Speaker 1: in the best possible way to succeed. You know. He
Speaker 1: You see the way he starts the game out. They
Speaker 1: do a little bootleg rollouts, get him a little five
Speaker 1: yards thinking dunk pass exactly. Yeah, same thing with like
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to a Russell Wilson, they run him out
Speaker 1: ten yards, get him going. So you know, and also,
Speaker 1: you know, Golf, even with the even him with not
Speaker 1: having Robert Woods supporting casts around him, going in and
Speaker 1: getting Sammy Watkins is a shut fire, got great hands.
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup another guy who he has a good rapport with,
Speaker 1: and then you got the bell cow in the back
Speaker 1: with with Todd Gurley, the team has just made for
Speaker 1: success um right now. In their defense, if they could
Speaker 1: just if they could get that, if they could win
Speaker 1: the turnover battle, that team is gonna be dangerous, especially
Speaker 1: if they could host a couple of playoff games in
Speaker 1: the in the NFC. Yeah. Absolutely, And let me tell
Speaker 1: you something, they've also figured out that Todd Gurley can
Speaker 1: actually catch the ball out of the backfield as well.
Speaker 1: I think that has been very helpful. And you mentioned
Speaker 1: their defense, that Wade Phillips defense. You know, maybe it
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of time, but they are certainly
Speaker 1: improving on that side of the ball as well. I
Speaker 1: want to ask you this, Nick. You know, the Rams
Speaker 1: have the Philadelphia Eagles, who, as you remember, because I
Speaker 1: told you before the season that the Eagles were going
Speaker 1: to be my surprise team, and boy did that play out.
Speaker 1: But here's what I want to ask you about it.
Speaker 1: Rams and Eagles. Well we will see. Is the number
Speaker 1: one and number two overall picks in last year's draft
Speaker 1: on the field together and Jared Goff and Carson Wentz?
Speaker 1: Are the Rams happy still with Goff? Do they think
Speaker 1: they made the right decision? Because people are talking about
Speaker 1: went as an m v P candidate. I understand what
Speaker 1: you're saying in terms of McVeigh having a new like
Speaker 1: a piece of clay to mold, but what Wentz has
Speaker 1: been doing has been incredible as well. Do you think
Speaker 1: they made the right choice. I you know, I still
Speaker 1: think they made the right choice. I mean, if both
Speaker 1: these guys, I mean, if the rate they're going right now,
Speaker 1: you know, you'd be happy to have any one of
Speaker 1: these guys, I mean, you seem like the pill. They
Speaker 1: still for a guy like you know, Carson Wentzer. Now, uh,
Speaker 1: but you know you got Wentz who leads to the
Speaker 1: NFL right now with twenty nine touchdown passes. He's a
Speaker 1: clear cut m v P guy and he right, he's
Speaker 1: so strong and so smart with the ball. You could
Speaker 1: just see he's got such great vision on the field.
Speaker 1: And you know with golf, his his touchdown to turnover
Speaker 1: interception ratio is and you know it's been incredibly, um,
Speaker 1: you know, so much better this year than was last year.
Speaker 1: I think he's twenty two six this year and a
Speaker 1: touchdown to interceptions. So this is gonna be a huge
Speaker 1: prideful game. I think between these two, you know, you've
Speaker 1: got the number one overall pick versus the number two
Speaker 1: overall pick. You've got silly coming off a loss in Seattle,
Speaker 1: I think Wentz is gonna come and bring it. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are picking the Rams in this game,
Speaker 1: but I actually think that the Eagles could come away
Speaker 1: with a victory here on the West Coast. They've already
Speaker 1: been here, you know, they've they've been on the West
Speaker 1: coast off now this year, already too, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they played the Chargers next week, so they've got three
Speaker 1: straight games. They were on, they were in Seattle, they
Speaker 1: got the Ramps, and then they stay here for the charge.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough? Hey, uh, Nick, we gotta once
Speaker 1: again thanks for joining the show here right here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. This is Nick Livrani, a good friend
Speaker 1: to the show, Dilly Dilley over there in Pro Angle media.
Speaker 1: I got some quick hitters for your real quick nick um.
Speaker 1: At this point, you know, we're starting the playoffs, right,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people on our show are wondering
Speaker 1: about some fantasy football ethical questions. So let me get
Speaker 1: your take. Do you think it is okay Let's say
Speaker 1: you're in the playoffs, right, and your opponent this week,
Speaker 1: let's say has Rob Gronkowski at tight end and he's missing.
Speaker 1: Do you think it is okay for you to like
Speaker 1: pick up any viable tight end on the waiver wire
Speaker 1: to block your opponent? Is that fairer foul? You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny, I've had that exact time. I'm actually I
Speaker 1: have Gronkokowski in one of my league, and I'm actually
Speaker 1: playing at grinst against Gronkowski in another one, and I
Speaker 1: seriously was debating going ahead and packing up just the
Speaker 1: next top available tight end right, and I think in
Speaker 1: the league was Steals Jones from Arizona, Like, he's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be someone who's gonna get picked up. I thought
Speaker 1: about it long and hard. If I had any room
Speaker 1: on my roster to make that move, I would have
Speaker 1: done it just to block, just to block him out.
Speaker 1: I'm playing against him. Why Why do I gotta get
Speaker 1: to an easy shot to win? All is fair? All
Speaker 1: is fair, All is fair, and fantasy love and war apparently, Hey, Nick,
Speaker 1: one quick more question because we gotta get out of
Speaker 1: here real quick. And once again, thanks for joining the show.
Speaker 1: I know you're a little bit of a DFS guy too.
Speaker 1: Out there on the West Coast. I got some DFS nuggets.
Speaker 1: I love Michael Crabtree this week against the Chiefs without
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters. And to be quite honest, I love a
Speaker 1: new little San Francisco stack Mark. He's good when impressed
Speaker 1: me with Jimmy g like any of those white outs.
Speaker 1: You got any nuggets for me this week? I do
Speaker 1: like those guys. Actually, I'm thinking more on the running
Speaker 1: back side. If you're thinking about doing someone in uh,
Speaker 1: playing in any kind of cash game or or at
Speaker 1: fifty type. I like guys like Jeo Bernard. Yeah, absolutely no,
Speaker 1: Joe Mixing. The guy is gonna get tons of targets
Speaker 1: in the bat of the back build. He's I mean
Speaker 1: somebody did when She's year went out of the game
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh last week. He ran all over that team.
Speaker 1: So and he's gonna get up against the fairs team
Speaker 1: this year. That's you know, been so so against the
Speaker 1: run this year. But you gotta figure that they're gonna
Speaker 1: lean heavily on him this week. Another guy I like
Speaker 1: this week is Payley Barber. You know Doug Ball, you
Speaker 1: know Doug Martin though is back, he's practicing again. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, he hasn't rushed for you, are fair enough
Speaker 1: the game I think. I mean, you gotta figure that
Speaker 1: you're not just gonna stash Peyton Mark boy after he
Speaker 1: gets you a hundred yards and a touchdown and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a cup and forty receiving yards. I don't
Speaker 1: think you could just go away with him like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I still think he's the wholesome value all right, fair enough,
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Nick for joining the show. Dilly dilly
Speaker 1: out there to you and yours, and tell all my
Speaker 1: former drink he's out there to you know, watch out
Speaker 1: for the wildfires and take cover. Thanks for joining the
Speaker 1: show once again. Nick, will have you on towards the
Speaker 1: end of the season when these chargers and rams are
Speaker 1: you know, still in contention. Thanks a lot man. When
Speaker 1: we come back, absolutely, when we come back, we open
Speaker 1: up the phone lines. You know, the number of call

Speaker 1: gotta tell you what I'm so excited about. I talked
Speaker 1: to our guy Greg Sussman Susmania earlier today. You see
Speaker 1: all of our decorations. Apparently I'm not I'm not Jewish, right,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I'm jew Ish, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: But apparently you light the menora at sundown and that
Speaker 1: happens during my show. So starting next week, I am
Speaker 1: going to be able to light the menorah every night.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Maybe we'll say a prayer, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: have a guath lighter come in, who knows, but I'm
Speaker 1: very excited. I talked about Thursday Night Football as well.
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is obviously going to be a big part
Speaker 1: of that game one way or another, which reminds me
Speaker 1: of my stats over beat Cipher. We got young cars
Speaker 1: and the effect. You know they do some of those
Speaker 1: rap fantasy football parodies. We've got another one coming your way,
Speaker 1: and it is about Julio Jones. We're gonna play a
Speaker 1: little bit of that, and then we're gonna open up
Speaker 1: the phone lines and help everybody win their leagues and
Speaker 1: win that cash. Hey, Bavona, let's play that young cause
Speaker 1: track about Julio. If you were facing Julio Jones this week,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, bro, you basically needed like Keenan Allen and
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and Alvin Kamara, you know, and something else.
Speaker 1: Julio definitely killed people bottom. It's the trap game. Maestros
Speaker 1: shot ahead and passes and eat the dirt, dirt the
Speaker 1: holes it into the dirty bird control d D for
Speaker 1: show Yo, whoa whoa road road got on and so
Speaker 1: get call and take the scabs. Jones is counting crows
Speaker 1: and taking sand so you can throw d D for show.
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. I never seen nothing
Speaker 1: like this before. I started off kind of sub but
Speaker 1: now he's spreading to go on half point. He just
Speaker 1: dropped a fat float. He fall and the winter gonna
Speaker 1: make it snows, so Flexabo not bench Abo professional get
Speaker 1: the excellent. Hold up, wait a minute, do I see
Speaker 1: you catch for Julio Heyters and Bencha Man. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: now they are quiet like Ko with bro block. Secondary
Speaker 1: Will certainly went for two hundred. I guess Pasco Bucks
Speaker 1: looking trash with the scow. We're still close for Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: Now they Christie like toast. NFC South is still doing
Speaker 1: the most start got it now, Obama to Julio ahead
Speaker 1: them messes in them screen treets eat Juli yoo whoa whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: whoa whoa A little parody of that get low joint
Speaker 1: Those of my guys, young cas and the effect a
Speaker 1: little bit. Catch us on Twitter me young cos my
Speaker 1: boy Kenneth Cashman over from Road to War. We're talking
Speaker 1: a little bit of stats over beat, a little lyricism
Speaker 1: today on Twitter. But now we turn our attention to
Speaker 1: the stats over beat cipher. The phone lines are open.
Speaker 1: Like I say, it is the best part of my
Speaker 1: day when I got to help you guys win your
Speaker 1: leagues and win that cash. And we started off today
Speaker 1: with Randall and shy Town. Hey, Randall, you're on the
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle. I hope week thirteen was lucky for you
Speaker 1: when you're in the playoffs. Let's keep it going. Let's
Speaker 1: get you with w what's good? Well, I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's solely because of me, but
Speaker 1: let's keep it going. Then, Randall, what can we do
Speaker 1: for you? All right? So I got two questions? So today,
Speaker 1: where do you start? I like Devonte. I think p
Speaker 1: Ryan has a great matchup. I really like some j
Speaker 1: p Ryan. Okay, I really like p Ryan this week.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get a little bit of production
Speaker 1: um in the passing game. To the problem though, is
Speaker 1: that Washington offensive line I think is gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: get harassed by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram all game long.
Speaker 1: So given those choices, I would go Davante Freeman Ramda,
Speaker 1: you got another one real quick? Yeah, Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: I love Jimmy G this week. I really really love
Speaker 1: Jimmy G this week. But instead you said Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: or Jared Goff. Also, I like Jared Goff going against
Speaker 1: the bad Philadelphia secondary. I think they are going to
Speaker 1: try to throw the ball, So I'll take Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: I hope it works out for you. And if you
Speaker 1: keep on staying live in the playoffs, all at your
Speaker 1: boy spitting speeds. Next week, up next on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: it is Adrian north of the Border in Canada. We
Speaker 1: don't blame Canada, We love Canada. Adrian. How can we
Speaker 1: help you? Yeah, that's got three quick questions for you.
Speaker 1: I'm in a twelve team standard um my quarterbacks. To
Speaker 1: go with Stafford, Prescott or Mariota. I like Stafford if
Speaker 1: he plays. If he plays, I like Stafford Mariota, I
Speaker 1: don't really trust and Dak. I'm scared of Dak. He's
Speaker 1: has He's turned the ball over a lot and the
Speaker 1: one time the Cowboys ran the ball and won the game,
Speaker 1: it was really through Alfred Morris. So if Stafford plays,
Speaker 1: I like him. What else you got? Giovanni? Bernard Leonard,
Speaker 1: for Nette Kareem Hunt, I like Geo and for net
Speaker 1: uh Um Hunt would be the guy without a chair
Speaker 1: when the music stops from me on that one, Adrian.
Speaker 1: One more real quick Crabtree, A J. Greens. I like
Speaker 1: all of them, to be quite honest, but I would
Speaker 1: go a J. Green than Crabtree, then Adams for me, Adrian.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, man I'm telling a lot
Speaker 1: of people on Twitter as well, go with your gut sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to kick yourself on a
Speaker 1: Monday and see the guy that you really liked on
Speaker 1: the bench with twenty seven points. But that's how I
Speaker 1: would play it if I were you. Adrian. Up next
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle is Manny in Las Vegas. What
Speaker 1: usually happens there stays there. But when Manny gets down
Speaker 1: with the stats overbeat Cipher, the whole world knows. So
Speaker 1: how could I help you? Manny? Hey? Ye know, I
Speaker 1: got two questions, man Q question Drew Brees or Alex Smith.
Speaker 1: I like Alex Smith this week. I really like Alex
Speaker 1: Smith this week that Oakland Raiders secondary can be had.
Speaker 1: And he also saw Alex Smith starting to go down
Speaker 1: field more again last week. If you have him on
Speaker 1: your team, you saw what he did. They've changed and
Speaker 1: Andy Reid gave play calling duties over to the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try and go downfield a little
Speaker 1: bit more this rushing potential with Alex Smith as well.
Speaker 1: So he's my answer there, Manny, What else you got
Speaker 1: all right, and I need uh three out of these
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I got Da Marius Thomas, Michael Crabtree, Doug Baldwin,
Speaker 1: Trent Taylor Den, and Jamison Crowder. Uh is this PPR standard?
Speaker 1: It's PPR. I mean he's one of those as well,
Speaker 1: all right in PPR. I like Jamison Crowder, I like
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree. I do not like Da Marrius Thomas because
Speaker 1: Simeon has been defecating the mattress left and right. So
Speaker 1: I like Crabtree, like Crowder, and then do me a favor.
Speaker 1: I love Doug Baldwin. But what you gotta do is
Speaker 1: see if Jalen Ramsey practices tomorrow, because Jalen Ramsey's a
Speaker 1: great cornerback and he travels into the slot where Doug
Speaker 1: Baldwin goes. So keep an eye out for Jalen Ramsey's
Speaker 1: practice report tomorrow. If he's limited in any kind of way,
Speaker 1: then Doug Baldwin is your answer. Up next on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle, we go to O H, I oh, we've
Speaker 1: got the I with Danny. He's on the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher. You know, let's get a w If you're
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, we gotta keep it going. You could
Speaker 1: win your league and win that cash. How can I
Speaker 1: help you, Danny go buck. So I called you yesterday,
Speaker 1: I believe and uh, I gave you running back question
Speaker 1: R format right. I gave you Hunt, McCaffrey and Miller right.
Speaker 1: And I told you and I told you that like
Speaker 1: I was gonna surprise you, and I actually went Kareem Hunt? Right?
Speaker 1: Is that what I said? That's the last one, I think.
Speaker 1: But but you have Gioberard. I like Geo Binard. Geo
Speaker 1: Bernard fits in there over Kareem Hunt. I love Giovanni
Speaker 1: Bernard on the condition obviously that Joe Mixing uh misses
Speaker 1: the game with the concussion protocol. But if that is
Speaker 1: the case, Giovanni Bernard is the last man standing and
Speaker 1: he can produce. He could be a weapon out of
Speaker 1: the passing game as well. So yes, I would start
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard over Kareem Hunt, given what you had and
Speaker 1: given no Joe Mixing anytime, brother man, anytime. Up next,
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go back to Chicago. This
Speaker 1: time it is Hector joining the stats over beat Cipher. Yo,
Speaker 1: Let's get you a w because this playoff time every
Speaker 1: win counts. Uh, let's get it on. What you got
Speaker 1: for me? Hector, see was going on, deli deli really quick. Um,
Speaker 1: I got a wide receiver question for you. I like
Speaker 1: him and Crabtree this week, and that's shootout. What do
Speaker 1: you think? I agree with you? Remember the first time
Speaker 1: they played it was that Thursday night football game that
Speaker 1: was thirty one thirty. That's when a Mari Cooper went
Speaker 1: absolute be off in that game. I like Crabtree slightly
Speaker 1: better than Hill. I like Hill because, like I just
Speaker 1: said to the last caller, with Alex Smith, they're throwing
Speaker 1: the ball down field a little bit more. That means
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill. So I like him, but I love Michael Crabtree.
Speaker 1: This week, Marie Cooper just cleared the concussion protocol, still
Speaker 1: is dealing with that ankle. And remember the Chief suspended
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters for this game. Okay, so they're gonna be
Speaker 1: even hurt more. I love Michael Crabtree, but I do
Speaker 1: think you can get Tyree Kill in that lineup if
Speaker 1: possible as well. I like them both, but I slightly
Speaker 1: with favor Crabtree over Hill. I hope that helps you out.
Speaker 1: Heck to let me know next week when you are
Speaker 1: still live in your playoffs. Last up today on the
Speaker 1: Cipher we go to Baltimore. Omar coming, But it's not Omar,
Speaker 1: it's just Keith. Hey, Keith, you're on the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher on the fantasy freestyle with speeds. How can
Speaker 1: I help you? I mean, so far as season helped
Speaker 1: a lot, three leagues, three playoff teams, So I'm looking
Speaker 1: good so far. That's absolut loulie. What's up? Let's keep
Speaker 1: it going. Just making the playoffs is the first step.
Speaker 1: Now is the fun part. And you have three leagues,
Speaker 1: let's win some cash. How can we help? So? I
Speaker 1: got two quick ones. First, go Matt Ryan tonight or
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford on Sunday. Stafford has a great matchup. Stafford
Speaker 1: has a great matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucks. If
Speaker 1: if Stafford is healthy, I would go Stafford. The only
Speaker 1: problem is you have to make that call in the
Speaker 1: next you know, forty five minutes because Matt Ryan's about
Speaker 1: to go. That is the problem. I think Matt Stafford
Speaker 1: will go, and I think he will have a good
Speaker 1: game against Tampa. I'll tell you that. However, if you're
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and don't want to risk it. I
Speaker 1: think Maddie Ryan is completely fine if you want to
Speaker 1: be conservative. What's your next question? Real quick, because we're
Speaker 1: up against the break real quick, all right, real quick.
Speaker 1: I have punches in my flex, but I picked up
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard and obviously Mark Cooper if he mixed on
Speaker 1: Sunday repeat of that fifty game point point game, maybe
Speaker 1: uh fair enough. Thanks for the call, Keith. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you one thing. I love Giovanni Bernard this week.
Speaker 1: If you have a flex opportunity for Giovanni Bernard, I
Speaker 1: would put him there. When we come back on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we checked the pole and we
Speaker 1: see if Chris Venture has any YouTube question since for
Speaker 1: the crew, it should wait. Dave Martinezpe's is fitting statistician
Speaker 1: right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle, Nick Liverani on the line. He
Speaker 1: represents pro Angle Media out there in l A. The
Speaker 1: Charges finally figured out that their best tight end is
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry. Absolutely. The only thing that's been, you know,
Speaker 1: hindering Henry's fantasy stock has been Antonio gate Once, who
Speaker 1: rides off in the sunset This is Hunter Henry's you know, offense,
Speaker 1: because he could just see when when he gets the ball,
Speaker 1: when he gets targeted more, that offense closed so much
Speaker 1: more and always there in the middle of the field
Speaker 1: week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back. It is
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: At this point you should already know. We love over
Speaker 1: here Www Dot Fantasy factor dot com. I don't want
Speaker 1: to compete with people to have algorithms and fifty lineups
Speaker 1: and contests, okay, Www Dot Fantasy factors dot com. Single
Speaker 1: entry tournaments, flatter prize pool, smaller contests, perfect for the
Speaker 1: person dipping their toe in the d f S water.
Speaker 1: You definitely win a little bit of cash telling speeds
Speaker 1: the spitting statisticians sent you. And if you don't know
Speaker 1: by now, you're certainly not paying attention. But we here
Speaker 1: at the Fantasy Sports Network are collaborating with d k
Speaker 1: MS to help the fight against blood cancer. Go on
Speaker 1: over to Daily Rodo dot com slash d k MS.
Speaker 1: We're doing free roll tournaments, okay, and if you win that,
Speaker 1: you go to week seventeen in the finals and if
Speaker 1: you win that you get tickets for two up to
Speaker 1: the big game in Minnesota where Justin timber Lake is
Speaker 1: doing the halftime show. But if you don't win, you're
Speaker 1: still a winner at life because you can really helped
Speaker 1: by being a bone marrow donor or a blood donor
Speaker 1: and helping the fight against blood cancer. Um, you know
Speaker 1: we got the poll question up right now. I misspoke.
Speaker 1: I forgot this is in Atlanta. Um, they're not home dogs,
Speaker 1: they are home favorites. It is still less than a
Speaker 1: field goal to me, though. I like Atlanta tonight. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I'm going against the people. People like
Speaker 1: the Saints, but guess what on this pole, the people
Speaker 1: have gotten it wrong on Thursday Night football a number
Speaker 1: of times. I like the Falcons and I like a
Speaker 1: surprising under If you want to know the truth at
Speaker 1: this point, let's do our thing and bring in my
Speaker 1: guy Chris the Analysts Venture. He's been monitoring the YouTube stream.
Speaker 1: A lot of people chatting out there. I hope you
Speaker 1: hit that like button. By the way, if you can
Speaker 1: there on the stream, you know, it really helps me out,
Speaker 1: Like follow, write a review, do whatever you gotta do
Speaker 1: to promote you know, Speeds, the spitting statistician and the
Speaker 1: stats overbeat cipher a venture. What are the people on
Speaker 1: the YouTube chet saying? Damn right? Um, damn right, that's
Speaker 1: what I like. Adam a man Christ, the analyst Ventra.
Speaker 1: What's going on in the chat? Uh? They're talking about
Speaker 1: all different things. Who they're gonna start in the playoffs?
Speaker 1: They got this, They got Josh Gordon a lot really
Speaker 1: jumping on the Josh Gord. The thinking for me, the
Speaker 1: thing is like the Shaun Kaiser though, is that quarterback
Speaker 1: you know when he takes it and runs real quick?
Speaker 1: And I just wouldn't trust to Shaun Kaiser. But go ahead.
Speaker 1: So I got one question here so far, Um it's PPR.
Speaker 1: You gotta pick two wire receivers of these four? Right?
Speaker 1: You got Doug Baldwin, Marcus Goodwin, Jervis Landry and Golden Tape.
Speaker 1: Is this PPR? Yeah? How many of my picking too?
Speaker 1: So I usually love Golden Tape. Stafford injury scares me
Speaker 1: a little bit about that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And I usually love And you said it's PPR, right,
Speaker 1: So in that case, I love Jarvis Landry. I really
Speaker 1: I've been telling people I like Marky's Goodwin this week
Speaker 1: as it relates to Doug Baldwin. I'm telling you it's
Speaker 1: all about that Jalen Ramsey injury. If Jalen Ramsey doesn't play,
Speaker 1: then I like Doug Baldwin. If he does play instead,
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable putting Goodwin in his place makes sense? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm pretty much going Goodwin all the
Speaker 1: way okay here, and I mean you're gonna see Goodwin,
Speaker 1: I think in my DFS line up tomorrow, Nick excuse
Speaker 1: me not Nick uh? Chris? Are you are you calling in?
Speaker 1: Are you're gonna be here? We're gonna be doing our
Speaker 1: DFS line up a week fourteen on tomorrow show. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be calling in. Okay, tomorrow, fair enough. And I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now you're gonna hear mark He's Goodwin's
Speaker 1: name in my DFS lineup. I like that. I even
Speaker 1: liked it with a stack of Jimmy G. At first,
Speaker 1: we got time for one more question? What's going on? Oh,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, Jimmy G. Goodwin. Here's the other one.
Speaker 1: Also book pick one PPR. Also a Baldwin in the mix.
Speaker 1: Jeric McKinnon or devont If Freeman. Actually it's picked two
Speaker 1: out of those three. I like Freeman and I like
Speaker 1: McKinnon and PPR it's PPR. I like Freeman and McKinnon.
Speaker 1: I'm already a little bit on the fence about Baldwin
Speaker 1: because he's got that Jacksonville cat scratch fever. I think
Speaker 1: you know um who was a Freeman gets guaranteed touches.
Speaker 1: I like him and McKinnon in PPR format. You've heard
Speaker 1: me talk about this McKinnon Latin Murray thing. I think
Speaker 1: the Vikings are in a closer game. I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna need McKinnon out of the backfield. I do not
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be up by a ton thus grinding
Speaker 1: it out with Latin Murray. I like Jered McKinnon and
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman. We'll see what Devantay Freeman does starting at
Speaker 1: about twenty five minutes. Week fourteen starts tonight, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about it a little bit more in tomorrow's episode
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Freestyle. Hoping everybody gets a w and
Speaker 1: Week fourteen at tea the last week your season or
Speaker 1: it's the playoff, baby, so we gotta get it going.
Speaker 1: I'll see tomorrow. We'll get everybody ready. It's the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. See
Speaker 1: all tomorrow,
