I mean, boy, Dame Martinez, I got 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.200 my man, the Manimal Core Bovona as always on the 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.840 ones and tools, keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.200 We got a good show for you on a Tuesday listen. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.720 I know a lot of people had injuries in week four. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.360 Week five also starts to buy week, so you may 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.880 have some studs that are out. We got teams like 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.080 the Saints out, so if you have Drew Brees, the 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.040 Denver Broncos with their studs. You know some a lot 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.760 of teams are out there on by the Atlanta Falcons 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.520 as well, so you may need to delve into the 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.720 waiver wire and we're going to talk about that on 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.959 this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm gonna give you 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.360 the guys that are the top ads at running back, 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.920 wide receiver, and tight end, and I'm gonna give you 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.399 my thumbnail sketch on if they're worth your waiver priority, 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.080 if they're worth your fat budget or not. And we 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.680 gotta pull question up on Twitter as usual. I want 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.280 to ask, which are the top waiver ads you think 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.560 about the most you think is worth your budget or 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.960 your priority. I put up options like Alvin Kamara, who's 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.559 owned in forty seven percent of leagues after his ten 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.280 catch game in London. Is it a guy like Eddie 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.560 Lacey who's owned in tent of leagues? Now that Chris 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.639 Carson has gone down, we'll talk about that Seattle running 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.480 back situation. Is it the potential replacement for Dalvin Cook 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.720 if he went down on your roster? Latavius Murray is 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.920 owned in nineteen percent of leagues? Or is it someone 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.200 else is there a wide receiver out there, a guy 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.799 like Will Fuller. Perhaps is there a tight end out 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.120 there on the waiver wire that you want to prioritize, 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.639 Maybe Evan Ingram, because like I told you, Eli Manning 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.560 is gonna throw, throw, throw, and then he's gonna throw 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.040 some more. We're also gonna break down what happened on 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.120 Monday Night football last night. Let me tell you something. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.920 We're gonna talk about Alex Smith and what it means 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.200 to be a professional sometimes in the NFL. I thought 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.160 Mr Gruden had a great point about how he's grooming 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.480 his successor. And then if you stayed up late and 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.280 watched the game all the way until the very last play, 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.880 you know that that definitely changed some fantasy football matchups, 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.160 and that definitely helps some people win that cash, including 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.639 your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. Because I was on 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.680 Kansas City minus seven and the over, I thought I 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.600 had no chance of winning. But then, what do you know, 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.880 Washington tries to do a little bit of funky business 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.800 and Justin Houston takes it back to the end zone. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.880 What about that as a bad beat? That is one 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.120 of the worst beats ever. If you could actually prove 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.240 to me at spitting speeds that you won money or 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.320 lost money because of that, or you won or lost 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.600 your matchup becoming that. Send it to me at spitting speeds. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.520 I want to see it. Then you could swing on 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.800 by the studio thirty four and Rock and Riley's and 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.640 Speeds and spitting Statistician. I'll buy you a drink like 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.960 my name was t Pain. We're coming back. I'll give 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.440 you injuries, and I'll also give you a tough waiver. 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.040 Ads and my thoughts on them at each position would 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.720 dropping status over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:59.600 on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go. Hey, I'm 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.000 a Suck and I'm Jill and we're the intern the 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.160 Fantasy Sports Radio Network and d k MS wants to 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.200 send you to Minnesota this February.

Play the Big Game Tribute Challenge 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.359 sponsored by d KMS, only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.760 Chris Pavona taking us out west a little bit as 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.240 we dropped Staffle type of beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.320 It's a boy Dave Martinez speak to spitting statustition. We've 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.280 gotta get you ready for week five. If you're one 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.159 in three, if you're two and two and you want 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.040 to get right back in, and if you're in three 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.240 and one, four and oh and you want to, like 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.760 you know, make sure you keep that lead. And even 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.320 if you're all on four and you need to think 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.799 if it's time to sell in a dynasty league something 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.120 like that. Listen, if you're all on four, you can 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.120 still get it done on a week to week basis. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.560 Let me give you some news and notes from around 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.960 the NFL. Josh Norman, it looks like he's gonna miss 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.479 a couple of weeks. He banged up his ribs on 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.800 Monday Night Football. They said right away he was gonna 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.560 miss a couple of weeks, So that could be a 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.000 serious injury. Think about who the Washington football team is 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.559 facing in the next couple of weeks. You could probably 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.880 upgrade some of their wide receivers. Rob Kelly also left 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.359 Monday Night Football, this time with an ankle. Remember he 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.640 had ribs also, But remember Washington has a bye this week, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.320 and so they expect Rob Kelly to be okay after 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.160 the bye week. Also, we may see Andrew Luck practicing 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.240 this week. Remember we're now going into week five, and 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.320 they made the decision to not put Andrew Luck on 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.320 the pup list, which would have taken him out for 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.599 the first six weeks, and they said, oh, for sure 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.280 he'll be back before then. Well we're up to week five. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.720 When is it gonna come Andrew? Are we finally gonna 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.880 be up all night to get Lucky? That is my question. Also, 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.760 head coach Kyle Shanahan out there in San Francisco says 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.680 he is not considering a change at quarterback. I do 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.120 believe though, that as the forty Niners fall out of contention, 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.560 it'll be time to see what c. J. Bethard has 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.720 or if they're gonna back up the truck and try 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.480 to sign a guy like Kirk Cousins or maybe even 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:22.039 Alex Smith. In the offseason, Titans have signed Brandon Wheaton. 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.160 I think that's insurance because if Marcus Mariota is out 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.760 misses any times, they're gonna have Matt Castle in the center. 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.680 They need to back up just in case, and that 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.440 it looks like it's gonna be Brandon Wheat. And I 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.760 think that's a signal that Mariota may in fact miss 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:39.680 Week five. Also time Montgomery, he has multiple broken ribs, 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.560 but he might play this week Week five against the Cowboys. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.719 I'm telling you, football is a violent sport. These guys 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.919 are amazing. Let me talk a little bit about Monday 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.279 Night football. I told you that Alex Smith. Listen Alex Smith, 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.799 and this is an interesting thing that happens as a 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:59.800 as a quarterback. As the professional. They are drafting your replacement, 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.680 are signing your replacement, and what you have to do 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.120 is teach that person how to get better. You have 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:12.560 to ultimately help them usurp you. And there's not many industries, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.640 there's not many professions where you are literally, like as 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.400 a teammate, trying to get your replacement to be better. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.400 This is a guy, Alex Smith, that's a former number 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:22.920 one pick. You saw what he was able to do 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.320 with his legs. You see what he's doing now in 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.840 Kansas City. All this guy does his win whether it 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.720 was at Utah in college. I mean, this guy is 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.320 going to be able to make some money if he 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.400 does in fact move along. But remember the Chiefs where 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.080 a year early with it. Drafting Patty Mahomes and then 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.160 letting Alex Smith groom him an interesting organizational move and 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.440 I think it will pay off for Kansas City in 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.840 the long term. And if you're a team like San 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.000 Francisco or the Jets, or maybe even Buffalo who looked 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.560 like they're going to be in the quarterback market next year, 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.760 and if Alex Smith is out there on the open market, 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.480 I would actually prefer Alex Smith to Kirk Cousins. And 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.840 then again I talked about the end of this game. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.040 That last touchdown put the point spread, gave it to 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.640 the Kansas City Chiefs. If you had a Chief's ticket, 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.680 you were overjoicing. If you were holding, you know, a 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.640 Washington ticket plus Evan and then that is what broke you. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.200 It is a bad beat. I'll tell you that that game, 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.560 that last play also pushed the game over. The total, 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.480 which was in most shops forty eight and a half 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.600 was standing there at forty three. Then that last touchdown 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.040 is what pushed it over. So that is definitely one 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.720 of the bad beats out there. If you you know 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.240 kind of were afflicted either in fantasy or in gambling 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.280 with bad beats. Send it to me, Send me a 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.960 screenshot on Twitter at spitting Speeds. Okay, I want to 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.199 see it. I'll let I'll announce it on the show tomorrow. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:46.840 And then if you're in the New York area, if 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.120 you want to swing by Rock and Riley's studio thirty 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:53.200 four your boys Spitting Speeds, Spitting Statistician will buy you 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.400 a drink if you could prove that that you were, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.920 you know, winning or losing, if your match was decided 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.280 on fantasy. If you could prove your mattress decided on 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.240 fantasy with that score, come on over to Rock and Riley's. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:07.839 I'll buy you a drink. All right, all right, So 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.600 let's talk about the waiver wire. Because it's Tuesday, it's 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.040 gonna be waiver wire Wednesday. Your your waivers is probably 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.240 gonna run very early. And also, by the way, if 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.880 you are out there um and like Hawaii or something 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.680 like that, because I've been getting tweets from all over 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.800 the world, I really appreciate it. If you've had any 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.439 chance or out there in Hawaii, I want to give 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.200 you my personal information because when waivers run. It's like 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.240 three am on the East Coast. It's nine pm Tuesday 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.520 out there in Hawaii. Maybe we could work a little something. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.719 I'll give you my log into my password on my 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.840 account and you could start, you know, maybe make some 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.320 pickups right after waiver wires run. I wouldn't be upset 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.880 about that. I don't don't think we should tell everybody 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.680 else in my league. The unfortunate part is some people 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.160 in my league, they may listen to the Fantasy Sports 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.680 Radio network in the Fantasy Freestyle and hear me. But 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.680 don't worry about it. We could talk about it. Let's 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.600 get back to these hot ads on the waiver wire. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.839 On the running back position, I think the guy to 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:04.520 at is Alvin Kamara. Alvin Kamara is on of rosters. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.760 So if you're chilling at the bar getting ready to 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.880 watch this American League wild card game between the Twins 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.040 and the Yankees, you know one of you is in 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.520 the league where you can go ahead and get Alvin Kamara. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.680 I think I would spend here. Adrian Peterson has no 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.360 role with this offense. Four character for four yards, things 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.600 like that. Kamara, we talked about how this is a 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.839 young man's hustle. We also know if you listen to 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.000 fantasy freestyle, you know about how Sean Payton hates mark 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.640 Ingram for fantasy purpose does. This has been proven time 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.959 and time again. You know, having Tim Hightower Vulture touchdowns 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.959 from him last year and things like that. I think 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.160 Kamara continues to at least be the passing down back 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.960 that kind of Darren Sprawls Reggie Bush option in this offense. 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.560 I think Kamara is gonna be sustainable and it's going 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.280 to grow in production over time. So if you need 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.400 a running back, I like Alvin Kamara, even though I 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.559 don't believe the Saints are playing this week, but I 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.440 would take him and stash him if you need it. 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.640 I talked about Eddie Lacey on the poll. Eddie Lacy 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.160 is owned in leagues, Thomas ro Halls is owned in 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.400 thirty percent of leagues, and then Mkissic is owned and 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.280 only three You're gonna have c J Prosise I think 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.599 coming back as well. What I'm telling you is I 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.240 would stay away from all of these guys. Okay, we 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.560 talked about how the Seahawks offensive line is blunt, guts trash. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.400 All these running backs defecate the mattress, and it's gonna 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.360 be a committee approach, I think to try to replace. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.800 They liked Carson, but I think they're gonna run Lacy 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.240 out there a little bit. I think Rawls is actually 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.440 going to be the nominal starter, and I think he's 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.040 gonna get the most carries, but he hasn't really proved 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.840 that since he's gotten over a broken ankle himself, that 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.600 he's been as effective. I think c J. Procise will 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.400 be back in the mix, if not this week, then 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.640 definitely in a week or two. This is a committee 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.400 that I would avoid. Stay away from all of the 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.000 Seattle running backs. When it was Carson and we thought 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.320 he could have been like that guy, that was one thing, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.200 but stay away from this committee. Lettavius Murray is owned, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.040 but I don't want him either. Listen, let's tas Murray 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.360 is not a guy that has ever really been the 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.560 bell cow. They didn't like him in that role in 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.920 Oakland last year. This way, you had Jalen Rochard, you 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.319 had d Washington as well, and you've got Jared McKinnon here. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.839 Whether he's healthy for this week on Monday Night or 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.559 not is irrelevant to me. I don't think Latavius Murray. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.679 You know, he's not a three down back like Dalvin 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.200 Cook was, so I would stay away from him as well. 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.880 Andre Ellington, however, and someone who I do think is 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.680 interesting in Arizona. He's only owned. But the reason he's 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.520 interesting to me is especially in PPR leagues, he's been, 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.280 in essence, performing like a wide receiver. There was buzz 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.800 before the season got started that they may shift him 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.880 over to wide out. I think Andre Ellington could carry 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.360 some value in PPR formats moving forward, not because of 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.240 his running game. I think the Cardinals don't have a 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.760 rushing attack, but in PPR formats, I think he could 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.240 catch some balls. I also want to talk about Wayne Gallman. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:47.959 He's only four percent owned. I know a lot of 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.280 people are asking me about, Hey what about Wayne Gallman. No, okay, 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.200 the Giants cannot run the ball. You also have dark 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.880 while you have Perkins, you have Vereen. I don't think 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.560 this kid. He looks discusive. He looks like he runs hard, 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.360 but he's in a committee on a team that can't 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.160 run the ball, with a with a horrible offensive line. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.000 I would stay away from him as well. The last 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.480 running back I want to talk about was Aaron Jones. 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.360 This is the guy who popped off on Thursday night 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.800 after Time Montgomery went down after Jamal Williams went down. 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.160 But I stay away from him as well. There's a 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.120 reason he was fourth on the depth chart going into 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.040 that and Time Montgomery might play with multiple broken ribs, 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.160 so the running back is really only Alvin Kamara. In 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.520 my opinion, Andre Ellington could be worth and add as well. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.840 Let's look at the wide receivers real quick. Jeron Brown 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.920 is one of the big time ads at eight percent, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.000 and I think this could be interesting because Carson Palmer, 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.000 like I said, the Arizona team is one that's gonna throw, throw, throw, 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.600 And even though smoke John Brown is back, it looks 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.800 like he cut into the snaps of J. J. Nelson, 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.559 not Geron Brown. So Jeron Brown might actually be the 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:56.040 number two receiver behind Fitzgerald. I think he's worth a look. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.640 Think about will Fuller. He's owned in a third of leagues, 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.360 So you and your boys at the bar, if there's 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:01.680 three of you, two of you can go out and 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.560 get will Fuller. I think, listen, he's interesting as that 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.160 deep threat. But if I think the Texans may run 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.040 more deep passes now with Jehn Watson being able to 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.960 extend the play, I think that is kind of interesting. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.480 He could be a poor manage DeShawn Jackson. But I 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.040 still think ultimately the targets go to d Hop to 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.880 the Hoppopotamus. So I don't think I'm on Will Fuller. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.400 You got Cooper Cup. He's only owned in and you 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.000 saw that this RAMS offense is gonna be one of 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.800 the one where it's better the sum is better than 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.880 its parts. But Cooper Cup is the guy in the slot. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.960 I think he and PPR formats could be worth a look. 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.080 And the last guy, I'll tell you as Devin Funcious, 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.840 is owned in of leagues. I'm off them, I'm off Cam, 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.920 I'm off Benjamin. I'm a Funcious that was a product 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.280 of the New England past defense, not a product of 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.320 Devin Funcious. I think he had his best game of 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.240 the year because he had that matchup. I'm okay with 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.120 Jeron Brown, I'm okay with Cooper Cup. If you're really 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.920 need it going into week five because of injuries or buys, 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.000 we're gonna open up the phone lines right here at 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.680 eight four four eight four, the three six eight seven nine, 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.200 calling right now, Chris Pavono, take good care of you. 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.560 We open up the phone lines.

We'll dropping stats over beats with your boys feeds. 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.080 It's been statusician. We're getting you ready for Week five. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.560 It is the Waiver Wire Fab Budget Show. Because listen, 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.400 Waiver Wire is gonna run tomorrow morning. I told you, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.000 if you're out there in Hawaii, you want to hook 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.320 me up. We'll do a little bit of a trade. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.800 I'll hook you up. You could pick up some players 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:33.480 who survived the waiver run early tomorrow morning or late tonight, 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.160 if you're out there in Hawaii. Listen, I want to 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:38.920 give you real quick before we open the phone lines, 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.400 which are open right now at three eight seven nine, 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.240 I want to give you some tight ends. Also, I 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.800 told you last week about Charles Clay. I'm telling you again. 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.240 He's still on sixty seven per cent owned. You could 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.240 still go out and get him, and I like him 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.880 even more now when Jordan Matthews going down with that 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.560 thumb injury, I think Charles Clay will lead the team 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.680 and targets and receptions. If you can go out and 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.400 get him, do it night now. Cameron Braid making America 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:07.359 braid again. He's only owned. Listen, These Tampa Bay Bucks 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.960 going up against the worst defense in the NFL, the 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.000 New England Patriots at home on Thursday. Maybe break gets 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.480 into the end zone again. Evan Ingram is less than 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.760 fifty percent. He had eleven targets last week. I told 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.520 you Eli Manning is now going to become a volume thrower. 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.639 And if you really are in a deep door like 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.520 two tight end league. Somehow Austin Sefarian Jenkins is only 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.320 owned in seven percent of leagues. He's getting consistent targets 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.960 of the jets. I like the other guys obviously much better. 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.840 But uh, checking out checkout Austin Sefaria and Jenkins to 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.680 see if he becomes a consistent security blanket for Josh 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:44.280 McCown in New York. Alright, speaking of New York, The 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.560 first couple of calls are from New York. We're right 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.439 here on the Fantasy Freestyle and try to help you 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.240 out waiver wire questions, trade questions. What you gotta do 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.880 four week five to get above five hundred to get 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.160 that win? We started off with Mark in New York. Hey, Mark, 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.000 you're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle, which 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.239 points speeds that spitting statistician. How can I help you? 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.879 A dane um? Should I? I have Carl's Hide and 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.159 Abdullah for both my running back one and two, and 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.400 I have windows Smallwood. But then on my bench, WHI 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:21.520 I have Andrea Ellington? And yeah, should I start Ellington 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:27.159 over Smallwood? I like Smallwood? I like Smallwood. I like 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.680 him a little bit better than Ellington this week. Um 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.119 I I would I would go hide, I would go 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.720 up Doulah, and I would go Smallwood in the flex. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.240 I think that, Um, I just like the Philadelphia offense better. 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.760 And I think that Smallwood also has the potential to 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.399 get you some rushing production, whereas Ellington doesn't. Really you 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.280 saw Smallwood getting to the end zone last week via 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.480 the run, So I like Smallwood over Ellington, but it 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.880 is close. Um But thanks for the call. Mark out 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:54.639 there in New York. We stay in New York. We 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.760 have Josh in New York. You're dropping stats over beats 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.560 on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on? Man? How could 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.800 I help you out? Alry Jean, I have a trouble 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:09.400 with my decision. I have Aaron Jones in trouble. Measurement 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.800 would start? I would not start Aaron Jones. Okay, I'm 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.359 telling you right now. I would not start Aaron Jones. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.280 I think that was a one week wonder, especially we're 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.879 getting word that time Montgomery might play this week. Okay, 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.320 I don't think Aaron Jones is worth it. Who are those? 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:30.840 Who are those two guys you had? I would start 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.280 either one of them to be quiet, honest over over 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:36.840 Aaron Jones. But I'm gonna go with Gore and let 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.760 me tell you why. I told you at the beginning 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.440 in the last segment that these Panthers that all had 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.840 a great game last week. They were playing the New 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.560 England Patriots, who looked to be the worst defense in football. 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.240 I think there's gonna be some regressions this week. Calvin 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.840 Benjamin had a big time game last week, I believe 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.240 over I believe he had a hundred and four yards 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.400 receiving last week. But I think he regresses. Devin Functions 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.320 doesn't get in the end zone twice. I think the 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.560 Panthers come back down to Earth. KB is gonna have 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.160 Darius slay on him in Detroit. So I would put 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.960 Gore in that spot over Aaron Jones. But thanks for 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.359 the call, Josh. In New York, we go down to 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.639 our nation's capital. We're talking to Dave on the Fantasy freestyle. 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.000 You dropping status over beats with speeds and spitting statistician. 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:22.359 How can I help you? Going on? There? You go? 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:26.399 What's going on? Man? Unless man, hey, I had a 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:32.640 question about we were here, Yeah yeah, sure, yeah too, yeah, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.680 because I trying to find a kids, money back stuff. True, man, 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:40.879 So I have now have done with this story, and 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.879 I have your ze Elliott okay, and then I have 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.359 and then I have and then I have a body 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.119 of Freeman. But he's gonna buy. I'm thinking who should 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.440 pick up for? Who should pick up for the money bag? 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.960 Or sure I have Portus Brant turned up. Yeah, I 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:02.679 mean listen to Zeke and Jonathan Stewart are Okay. I 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.119 told you my best waiver wire ad this week is 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.800 a guy like Alvin Kamara if he is available. But 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.120 I think you're fine. I think you're fine with Zeke 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.520 Elliott and Jonathan Stewart this week. Okay. I think Stewart 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.160 goes back to being more of the workhorse. Remember they're 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.560 up against Detroit. It's gonna be different. That passing game 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.840 isn't gonna be what it was last week. I like 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.600 Stewart and I like Zeke. I think you're actually just 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:25.840 fine right there. If you needed to go to the 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:29.160 waiver wire, try and see if Alvin Kamara is out there. 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.360 He's a guy I like that's owned in less than 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.120 half of leagues right right now. If he's available, I'd 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.439 pick him up. But listen, I think it's sitting pretty. 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.000 I think you could. The reason you have Jonathan Stewart 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.119 is for these weeks, the week where Freeman's on a 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.199 buy and then later on the week where Zeke Elliott 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.160 is on a by. So feel no pain, feel no fear. 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.320 Run out, Jonathan Stewart and Zeke Elliott, as you're two 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.800 running backs. This week we keep be moving. We go 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.880 to Dan dan Is in New Jersey. Listen, Dan, you're 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.040 close enough that if you could prove to me that 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.959 that last play on Monday Night hurt, you come on 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.040 over to Rock and Riley Is will buy you a drink. 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.040 Dan in New Jersey. You're dropping stats over beats with speeds. 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.280 What's going on? I wish I had that for Monday night. 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.879 Actually I had a Tyreek Hills yesterday. He didn't do 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.080 much as you saw. Yeah, interesting enough. I'll let you 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:14.720 get to you a question, Dan. But you know it's 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.040 interesting with Tyreek Hill because I have him on so 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:18.639 I have shares of Tyree Hill as well. And I 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:20.720 was watching that game. I was up big enough. I 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:22.879 had Tyreek Hill my opponent of Chris Thompson, so I 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.280 was fine. But um, if you noticed watching that game, 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.040 they used Tyreek Hill as like a decoy a lot, 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.719 you know, sending him in motion on these jet sweep 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.159 action you know, in the kind of like Wildcat. They 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:37.720 had a play where they had Travis Kelsey taking a 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.000 Wildcat snap fake into Tyreek Hill. They used him as 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.320 a decoy a lot. I don't think that that's what's 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.399 gonna happen week to week. I think Tyreek Hill is 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:47.040 gonna get back to his big play way, so I 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:50.560 wouldn't worry about it. But Dan, what's your question? Yeah, 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.200 no doubt. Actually I am thought out the Kelsey as well, 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.960 So yeah, no big you though you're win sing leasing. 0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:58.439 But anyway, so, uh, I'm kind of a tough spot. 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.280 I got a time on and uh you know, obviously 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.800 Mike go it might not go and Matt Ryan on 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.479 the B on the by this way because my time 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:09.159 team standard. So UM, if I doesn't play, um, I 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.280 have to either choose between Mixing or Guilsley, which obviously 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:16.040 isn't great. And I had the number four priority, And um, 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.320 do I use on like a guy like Jamis or 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.040 do I use it on like I knew you obviously, 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.679 you know, not really feeling the Adam Jones as an 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.760 insurance policy, or I have Kamara, but you know, obviously 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:27.240 I can only have one of the other between like 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.560 Jamis or Kamara in my situation. Sure in your situation, 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:32.800 listen you said, I think you said you had what 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:36.480 was Mixing and Gilliesley. They're both available. Also, No, there 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.440 I might bench, I mean, but obviously you know, like, yeah, 0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:42.640 I don't like Gillislee. Man, I think Gillesley is touchdown dependent, 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.359 you know, and uh, if they're not getting in the 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.560 end zone, getting like the first goal on the five, 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:51.160 I don't like Gillislee. Mixing I think is okay. Um. 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:53.280 Remember I've been if you listen to the show, I've 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.920 been high on mixing. It just hasn't really happened yet. 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.040 Maybe this is the week I'm okay with mixing. You 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:02.120 mentioned that Kamara is available. Kamara is my running back 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.520 to add but he's the But the Saints aren't playing 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:06.600 this week, so you're gonna have to go even more. 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.560 Give me some of the other names that are out there. Um, 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.080 we got all the other big names on the waiver part, 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:17.800 you know, like the Goldman and Alex Collins and you know, 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:19.480 all the big names like I met the name off, 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:23.720 but it's pretty like you know, Collins, Goleman, Jones, of 0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.520 those guys, I like Alex Collins. Of those guys, I 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:28.880 like Alex Collins. You know, if you listen to the show, 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:31.240 I've been saying that Terence West is no longer the 0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.080 back there. He's been just a guy. Gallen was hot 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.600 for like a week, but I think Alex Collins showed 0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:41.080 himself in that game. Ravens. They got Oakland this week, 0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:42.959 I do believe. Let me check that. Yeah, they got 0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.880 Oakland this weekend. Oakland's gonna have their backup quarterback in right, 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.199 so I think Baltimore is gonna go right back to 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.040 the ground. I think Alex Collins might be the guy 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:54.399 for you, but it is not going to be pretty okay. 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.200 Alex Collins is my answer to the question. But don't 0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.560 expect huge things out of him, Dan, But thanks for 0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:01.720 the call. I really appreciate the love. Let's go to 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:05.040 paul E T. Paul e T is in Eastchester, friend 0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:07.320 of the show. Paula, you're back on the Fantasy freestyle 0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:09.199 dropping stats over beats. What could I do for you 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.879 for week five? Hei? How you doing? Uh? I have 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:17.119 Jordan Howard Howard and uh I was approached for a 0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.120 trade for Stefon Diggs. So I wanted to get your 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:25.359 opinion on that you would give up Howard and get Digs. Correct? 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:28.880 Do it? Do it? Do it? Do it? I mean 0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:32.000 step Stefon Digs. I don't care who the quarterback is. 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.320 I don't care if Dalvin Cook is there or not. 0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:38.760 Stefon Diggs is an elite talent, okay. And this Dig's 0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:42.160 owner is probably afraid, is afraid of what the Vikings 0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:45.240 would be like without Dalvin Cook. I am not, okay. 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.800 The only thing would be for some reason, if you 0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:50.720 lose Jordan Howard, you have absolutely no other running backs. 0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:52.160 But if you have other running backs that you could 0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.159 start on a week to week basis, do it, and 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:57.360 do it right now? Okay, PAULI, thanks for the call, 0:25:57.680 --> 0:25:59.600 last call right now before we go to break his 0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.440 Charles in Minnesota. Charles, we're up against it, but you're 0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:06.760 on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's your question, man, hey, I 0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:11.960 said a question. Um I was offered pretty like blockbuster trade. 0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:16.600 UM So I would be giving up Zeke and Pierre 0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:20.560 Garson and in return I'd be getting um A j 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:25.080 Green and Jordan Howard. Should I do that? Did you 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:29.480 ask me this on Twitter? No? I didn't, Okay, because 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:33.440 I feel like I've seen a very similar question. Um, 0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:35.520 it depends, I mean it. It depends on a couple 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.840 of things. One, do you believe that deck is gonna 0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:39.879 play all season long? You know what I mean? That 0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:43.080 suspension is hovering over. I love A J. Green. I 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:45.800 think A J. Green is a much better addition than 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.040 Pierre Garson. And I think Zeke is only a little 0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.240 bit better than Jordan Howard. You know. So I like 0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:54.920 the A. J. And Jordan Howard side of that deal 0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:57.800 because I do not believe in the San Francisco Wide receivers, 0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:01.040 especially if they ever make a switch away. Um, Brian Hoyer, 0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.400 So thanks for the call, Charles. When we come back, 0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:05.400 what we're gonna do is a couple of things. One, 0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:07.840 I am going to play a conversation I have with 0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:11.560 license certified athletic trainer Thomas Low.

We we're gonna be doing that when we 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:21.680 come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, and don't forget as always, 0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:24.520 we are partnering with d k MS to help fight 0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:28.200 blood cancer.

And if you're a 0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:35.159 fan of the show. You know that we have had 0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:38.240 our next guest on a few times before. It is 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:41.800 licensed certified athletic trainer Thomas Lowe and he's also joined 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:47.800 by Tyler Coleman today. How are you guys doing all right? 0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:50.560 Thanks for joining the show again and and Thomas. You know, 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:54.080 we've talked about everything from you know, um, the concussion 0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:57.800 protocol to kind of the medications that have been used 0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:00.240 in the NFL for player safety. We've talked about all 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.760 of that. One of the things we mentioned in our 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:06.680 previous conversations that I I was wondering about is the 0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:11.000 NFL has adopted having this tent on the sidelines and 0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:13.680 now when people are going for their kind of examinations, 0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.000 they're going inside the tent. I wanted to get your 0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.760 perspective on this. Is this like a hip hop privacy 0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:22.120 issue or they may be just trying to, like, you know, 0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.440 hide this from the opponents, because listen, I've had torn 0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.480 A c L s and when I watch football and 0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:29.440 I see them doing the A c L test, I 0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:32.280 know what it is. So wouldn't the opponent know what 0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:34.400 it is as well? Why do you think, um, it's 0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:36.680 such a good idea to have this tent on sidelines 0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.960 this season in the NFL. It's it's a little bold, 0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:43.000 but some of it's convenience that it's right there and 0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.280 you don't have the huggling you know, behind scenes, you know, 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:49.720 into the training room. You can examine it right then, 0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.440 your your best exam is right there in a moment 0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.960 before sasom set in. Um. So that's that's one thing. 0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:57.920 And yet the privacy because I would like to be 0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:00.840 able to do the exam, but that auld be seeing um. 0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.000 I don't use those here. I've I've had him at 0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:05.520 at time to time, but it's not not as much 0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:08.920 of a concern for me. But yes, sometimes you don't 0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:12.800 want an opponent to see is he hurt? What's hert 0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:16.480 And we've had some situations where there are eyes on 0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:18.920 me and seeing what am I gonna do with this concussion, 0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:21.680 especially as new laws change and how they gonna let 0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:25.200 somebody go back? What do you think about that? Tyler? 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:28.320 When I when I also noticed is that everybody out 0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:30.680 there in the world today is also a social media fan. 0:30:30.920 --> 0:30:33.880 I mean everything is is attached to a video and 0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.440 and everybody is either you know, Jenny lawyer or doctor 0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:38.280 lawyer out there, they will come to maybe get a 0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:39.960 piece of the action. So I think a lot of 0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:42.360 it comes down to that, Like like Tom said, the 0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:44.840 privacy ankle of it. You want to make sure that 0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:47.480 you know what you're doing is not being scrutinized by 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:50.680 you know, millions of eyes. So I think that definitely 0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:52.680 comes back down to it. And as they said, like 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.320 that competitive advantage, that's definitely a big thing too. You 0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:57.320 want to make sure that you know what you're doing 0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:01.000 is saying within your group, your team, your your focus. 0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:02.920 Do you want to make sure that nobody else is 0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:07.600 allowing you know, that competitive advantage? You know, that's really interesting, guys. 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.440 You mentioned that it's privacy, you know, for the athlete, 0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:14.120 but it also on some level protects the doctor as well, 0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:16.440 And I think that's really really interesting. I think you 0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:18.720 made a great point there, Tyler, about you know, all 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:21.920 the eyes watching, especially in these social media days. I mean, 0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:24.000 we're now in week four, We just finished Week four 0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:27.800 of the NFL season, and um, one thing I saw 0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:29.440 and I want to get your guys thoughts on it, 0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.440 is I heard that there is naturally a spike in 0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:35.800 injuries in the first couple of weeks in the season 0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:38.720 and then again at the very end, towards the last 0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.200 few weeks of the season. Have you can you kind 0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:44.480 of substantiate that? And if so, why is it? I mean, 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.800 is it just the the age old term of players 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:51.280 kind of rounding themselves into football shape. They're not ready 0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:52.840 for it. And maybe at the end of the season 0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:54.800 some of them already have their minds on their tea 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.440 time that they're taking after the season's over. What could 0:31:57.520 --> 0:32:00.320 it be that Lettings that lends itself to this spike 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:02.280 and injuries we see at the very beginning and then 0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:05.040 ultimately that we will see again at the very end 0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:09.320 of the season. The beginning is multi combination, and yet 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.640 they're there. Some are playing in the shape and it's 0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:17.200 getting adjusted to new drills or strength conditioning regime. At 0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:21.040 the end, all athletes, all levels start to break down 0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:23.360 and then you start to get over used. So the 0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.880 beginning it's a combination which is too much, too hard, 0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:28.280 too soon, and at the end it's just too hard, 0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:31.480 too long, too much, and uh, it's catching up to you. 0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:33.680 What do you think, Tyler about that? Um? Do you 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:36.360 think that you know this kind of the wear and 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.280 tear on the body is what just does it at 0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:41.280 the end or is there a mental aspect there as well? Well, 0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.440 most of most of the studies that we've seen there 0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:46.000 come out, you know now talk about injuries and when 0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.400 they occur. Obviously, injuries are a part of sports, and 0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:51.120 that's obviously why we have jobs doing what we're doing, 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.640 you know. But but these you study have come out 0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.000 and showing that injuries occur at the end of halves 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.080 or at the ending of the games, and that usually 0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:00.720 comes from that just basic body fatigue. More often than not, 0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:02.880 at the start of a game or start of the season, 0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.479 you're at your strongest, you know, but at that at 0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:07.600 that season wears on or as that game wears on 0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.440 and the fatigue factors, that's the you're gonna start getting 0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:12.880 more and more weakness, you know, that technique, that form 0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:17.040 is gonna start to diminish some capacity, and dependent upon 0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:21.040 the sport, regardless of it's NFL or or even even gymnastics, 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.239 you're gonna start seeing those injuries that that come up 0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:25.280 that may not you may not see in the in 0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:27.000 the start of it. More often than that you don't 0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.400 see the overuse injury that usually comes at the end 0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:31.360 of the year, like the anything that has a tendon 0:33:31.440 --> 0:33:34.080 night is attached to it um. But more of your 0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:36.960 big explosive injuries, those are those are things that you'll 0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.200 see more at the end ends of those times. And 0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:41.680 I'm not shocked by that. Like I said, as Tom 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.320 alluded to the beginning of the season, is just getting 0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:46.800 your body used to that wear until you're Yeah, you 0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:49.920 can simulate some things in the beginnings of seasons, but 0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.400 you know, you can't really stimulate a game until you're 0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:54.440 in a game. You can't really simulate a practice until 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:56.560 you're at a practice, and sometimes your body fails you 0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:59.840 fair enough. We're here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're joined 0:33:59.840 --> 0:34:03.400 by Thomas Lowe and Tyler Coleman, certified athletic trainers. Here 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.880 in the Fantasy Freestyle. One of the things I'm seeing 0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.160 at the beginning of the football season, and Thomas, if 0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:09.920 you remember, I mentioned it at the beginning of the 0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:13.400 baseball season as well. It seems like the most common 0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:16.759 injury is really to the hamstring. I'm seeing a lot 0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:18.960 of guys go down early in the season with the 0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.040 hamstring injuries. I saw it at the beginning of the 0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:24.239 baseball season as well. Thomas, is there any reason why 0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:28.160 the hamstring might be more susceptible than other muscles? Like 0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:31.480 we're saying as we're rounding into game shape, if you 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:34.000 want to think of it kind of like an accelerator 0:34:34.040 --> 0:34:36.839 and a detail or a gas pedal to break. Spent 0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:38.960 a lot of time off season working on and make 0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:42.640 the propel you make you go faster, stronger, higher, and 0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:45.880 that the gas pedal. But sometimes it's a little bit 0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.920 of oversighter neglect on the break. What's going to control 0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:51.759 all that? Imagine having a Ferrari engine and then having 0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:56.320 you know, woldwagon break. It doesn't off. So sometimes there's 0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.839 there's lacking that that strength balance you really want to have. 0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:03.799 UH want to do ratio If they can do you know, 0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.000 three hundred pounds on quad, do you want to be 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:08.439 able to do one hundred fifty? If you can get 0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.799 a four to one, I can you know, I'm four 0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:14.840 times is strong. That's not bad, but some are actually 0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:18.160 missing that. Joe again, Thomas Lowe and Tyler Coleman certified 0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:20.560 athletic trainers. Here in the Fantasy Freestyle, you talk about, 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:22.719 you know the mental side of this so much, and 0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:26.040 Thomas in our previous conversations. We've had conversations about uh, 0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:29.520 you know, also like sleep and travel and the impact 0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:31.400 that that has on the body. I'm not sure if 0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.960 you guys are aware, but you know there's NFL games 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:36.160 in London now for the last couple of years, but 0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:39.719 this year teams that are in the London games are 0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:43.120 actually playing the week right after. It used to be 0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:44.800 a thing where if you had the game in London, 0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:47.680 you had to buy the following week. But as we 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:50.960 just saw, the Ravens and the Jaguars had a game 0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:53.320 in London and we're right back at it the following 0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:58.000 week after flying back across the pond to America. What um, 0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:02.040 you know what? What maybe heightened are athletes at because 0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:04.479 of this kind of travel? Or am I just making 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:06.879 a big to do about nothing? Do you think that 0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:10.000 that's actually um harder to come back from with all 0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.919 that travel coming across the pond. It's it's a six 0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:15.480 hour time difference, so there's gonna be the time leg. 0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:18.920 It's jet leg. So as far as injury, no, I mean, 0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:21.400 you're gonna be tired, you know, for a day or 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:26.520 so more. But if it's a long probitual depriving myself asleep. 0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:29.520 That's when I'm not going to recover from injury and 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.400 I'm gonna get more chronic stuff. But just you know, 0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:35.640 a night or two of I've walked, some sleep or 0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:39.080 but something. Everybody's different. Something can sleep on the plane, 0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:42.160 some cannot, Others with jet leg a little bit better. 0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:44.960 But as far as injuries, I wouldn't see that being 0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:48.359 a risk. I haven't read anything that relates to that, 0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:51.719 and I wouldn't see it yet, and there's enough information 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.840 out there, you know, people are being very proactive with it. 0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:57.120 I mean that usually people say you get hit with 0:36:57.239 --> 0:37:00.160 jet lag worse if you're not hydrated, So more often 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:01.840 them now when you know that you're gonna be getting 0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:04.279 on a plane, you know, strengthing issues to have that lettering, 0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:07.120 training stats, medical staffs will be like really start pushing 0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:08.919 the water. And then obviously if you know that there's 0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:12.040 gonna be a six hour or difference, they start making 0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:15.239 The athletes get used to that ahead of schedule, you know, 0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:17.120 so if they know that they're gonna be plane six 0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.719 hours ahead, they'll start going to sleep six hours earlier. Yes, 0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:22.440 can can kind of be an inconvenient, but I know 0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:25.360 athletes that will start to prepare the bodies for it 0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:27.440 in that regard, and then obviously on the back end 0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:29.600 of it, you know, you get these guys, they turn around, 0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.560 it's gonna be how they prepared themselves for the plane 0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:34.640 right back. You know, Like I said, it's he usually 0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:38.800 doesn't have a huge layover hangover, so to speak. Um, 0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:41.120 but it's more often than not how they prepare themselves. 0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.960 Are they getting themselves a climatized back to their normal routine, 0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:46.719 are they getting themselves back into the training room to 0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:48.840 get for treatments? And mean, more often than not, with 0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:52.080 how travel is anymore, you know, you don't have that, 0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:55.560 you know, twenty four day you know, Atlantic boat ride 0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:57.440 across in order to do that, like you said, it's 0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:00.640 a few hour plane ride to get themselves back and forth. 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:03.840 Fair enough. And you guys you mentioned the hydration, Ay Thomas, 0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.080 I remember one of the things we talked about last 0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:08.640 time here on the Fantasy Freestyle was this idea of 0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:12.880 measuring uh the UH players Urine and I want to 0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:14.759 tie it all together. Did you know that the New 0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:19.120 England Patriots actually bought themselves not one, but two team planes, 0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:22.960 and on both of those team planes, the toilets have 0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.920 the instrument we were talking about to measure the hydration 0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:28.600 in the urine. Yeah, I remember you told me I 0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:31.440 wanted a lemonade color, not an apple juice color. So 0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:34.160 now the Patriots are doing that on their team flights. 0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:37.880 I think even talk about that a lot. That starts 0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:41.880 being mindful of the hydrated and being proactive because the 0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:45.200 nutrition aspect, that kind of your pope been at that, 0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:47.759 your extra eighth in the home, and to mid that 0:38:47.960 --> 0:38:50.440 today you just can't afford to give it away because 0:38:50.440 --> 0:38:54.320 the twenty uh, just a couple of pounds lack twenty 0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.799 I present locks and performance. You know, when you're dehydrated 0:38:57.840 --> 0:38:59.239 and then you a little bit more, it's gonna be 0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.799 eno Gausten. How these work? These some of these are 0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:06.319 litmus strips that you basically dip your urine on and 0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:09.360 they check specific gravity and there's a certain range and 0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:12.240 the color change and that will tell you if you're hydrated, 0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:15.040 and that there are more the luxe ways that we 0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:19.319 use using a refract dometer the check for hydration. Those 0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:22.040 are some of the things we do here in the clinic. Hey, Tyler, 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.400 So would it surprised you that the Patriots would be 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:26.319 the team that would do that, always trying to stay 0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:29.880 one step ahead, whether it's fairer foul. I'm not surprised 0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:32.640 that they're involved because but I don't think that it's 0:39:32.680 --> 0:39:35.600 a secret that they've only found out about. I think 0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:39.160 most teams are doing this in some capacity, but obviously 0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:41.359 they're they're the most well known because I believe they're 0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.800 the first professional team to own their own jets. Um. 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.200 I think it's something along the lines like, you know, 0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.759 is it is it proactive? Absolutely? Is it something that 0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:54.120 I think that they're doing exclusively? No, Um, But obviously 0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:56.000 I think it's something that's a lot easier when you 0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:58.880 can kind of customize your own toy, you know, to 0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.880 to make it or can do it because like them 0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:04.680 traveling or you know, they don't they don't take a 0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:13.239 buck before they play. Making sure that definitely they're gonna 0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:17.120 all right. Well, thanks so much, guys, Thomas Lowe and 0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:20.200 Tyler Coleman like and certified athletic trainers down there at 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.120 the clinic, friends of the show here in the Fantasy 0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:24.200 Free Style. They's just spending a couple of minutes with 0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:34.360 us today. Thank you to see what pre style athletic 0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:36.520 trainer Thomas low Why do you think it's such a 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:38.760 good idea to have this tent on sidelines this season 0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:41.520 in the NFL. It's the convenience that it's right there. 0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:44.120 Your best exam is right there in the moment before 0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.400 stas and set in. You have to privacy because I 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:48.160 would like to be able to do the exam without 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:51.239 anybody seeing. And we've had some situations where there are 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:53.440 eyes on me and seeing what am I gonna do 0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:55.800 with this concussion? Best days in new laws change and 0:40:55.840 --> 0:40:58.040 are they gonna let somebody go back? We das from 0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:00.000 seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the few 0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:19.160 to see Sports Radio Network. Y know that kid is 0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:23.600 niceice dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle and Pavona. 0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:26.320 I thought it was really interesting. Well, my man Thomas 0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:29.920 Lowe had to say about the tent, not only you 0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:31.799 know is it privacy? Because I know when they're doing 0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:33.319 the A C L test. I tell my friends when 0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:35.520 I'm watching up, they're checking forwards a C L. And 0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:37.759 you know you want to get any advantage possible. So 0:41:37.800 --> 0:41:40.920 the privacy for the athlete isn't interesting. But he also 0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.640 mentioned that it is privacy cy for the doctor because 0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:46.680 with all the cameras watching all the time, presenting preventing 0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.520 against things like medical malpractice. I thought that was very 0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:52.480 interesting why they have the tent out on the sidelines 0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:54.960 on the NFL these days. When they go into the tent, 0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:56.719 it used to be like the cold, dark, quiet room 0:41:56.760 --> 0:42:00.400 for the concussions ochres. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's something. 0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:02.759 The one thing that I was actually worried about was 0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:05.879 I kind of looked back to when a horse gets 0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:08.359 hurted horse race and they put up the curtain when 0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:11.120 I put them down. Yep, yeah, I mean I listen. 0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:13.879 I'm not saying that the NFL has gotten that crazy enough, 0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:17.080 but still, um, I guess you kind of wonder what's 0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.480 going on behind that tenant and you just want to 0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.319 make sure that the players are safe. But listen. But listen, man, 0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:24.720 when you go to the doctor, you don't want fifty 0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:27.600 people watching you, right, I mean, I understand you should 0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:29.879 be you should be. Uh, it should be a private thing. 0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:31.719 I don't know. I mean I guess like my my 0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:35.240 physicals would be something of medical miracles. Maybe who knows. 0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:37.439 Fair enough, that's why he's the man on the out there. 0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:40.000 He's a half man, half amazing. Ye know, we gotta 0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:42.480 pull question up right now on Twitter. Remember you can 0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:44.759 always follow me ask me questions at spitting speeds.

Okay, people saying why 0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:25.480 would it be on? Eddie Lacy definitely do don't do that, 0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:28.640 and then Kamara have available. Of course, Clayton Trey hand 0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:31.440 always answering the polls, big shout out there saying Kamara 0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:34.400 if available, but beyond him, nobody unless you're in a 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.000 two QB league and if you need a spots start 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:41.520 at quarterback, maybe E J.

I'm a Bronx kid from Puerto 0:44:15.640 --> 0:44:17.680 Rican from New York, so I gotta go plate today 0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:20.799 we win to the Dasi. I hope Luis Severino can 0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:23.000 put it down against the Twins for about six or 0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:26.520 seven innings and then Joe Girardi will go to that bullpen. 0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:28.720 I gotta tell you something, Chris. We got people asking 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.600 questions on YouTube.

I 0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:39.480 just had someone bang on the glass in the studio 0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:41.840 to try and get my attention during the commercial break, 0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:45.200 and then they just literally held up their phone. Okay, 0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:47.239 they held up their phone and on it was like 0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:50.960 a note and it said Buck Allen or Andre Ellington 0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:54.840 for week five. And literally I mouthed to this guy 0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:58.520 through the glass. I said, Andre Ellington, okay, because I 0:44:58.520 --> 0:45:00.680 think this Buck Allen thing is over and done with. 0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:04.080 I think Alex Collins is the guy in Baltimore, and uh, 0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:07.080 you know, Andre Ellington might be a guy in Arizona 0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:10.040 who's gonna get a lot of passing game opportunity. But 0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:12.359 I've never had to give advice through the paneling here 0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:15.279 at Rock and Riley's.
