So I'm gonna tell you something. I 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.600 will do everything in my power to give you the 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.520 right information for you to seriously this time win your 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.040 leagues and win that cast. That's what we gotta do. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.880 And always. On Tuesday's we talked about waiver wire ads 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.280 who to spend your fab budget on and if you 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.720 got any budget left, you gotta blow it all this weekend. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.720 We'll talk about that in a little bit. We will 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.960 also recap Monday Night football which ended week fifteen the 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.720 Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Bucks. Let me tell 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.960 you something then, I hope you listen to me, because 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:07.120 remember I said I like the Falcons to win, but 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.520 not to cover the spread. That's what happened. I said, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.400 I like this to be the week Mike Evans finally 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.240 delivers for you and gets in the end zone. Maybe 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.480 there was a couple of other shots called on that game. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.000 We'll get into that a little bit later on. We 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:27.280 will also talk about some brutal hashtag game of inches 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:32.440 from the stats over Beat Cipher, including someone who unfortunately 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.000 that you all know, lost their semifinal matchup with the 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.200 hashtag game of inches. Will tell you who will tell 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.520 you how a little bit later on in the show. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.960 I'll give you a hint.

So you know 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.920 I had to wear my whole whole hike ugly Christmas sweater. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.960 Shout out to Jilly Dilley, Shout out to the stats 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.639 over Beat Cipher, Shout out to my guys out there 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.040 and rode Awear also doing great shirts out there for 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.560 the Fantasy playoffs, We're gonna have to make that happen 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.960 as well.

Okay, we have 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.360 been doing this for months and if you are still alive, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.920 then you are a true contender.

Let's get 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.320 started on a Tuesday. Remember, injury reports will start to 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.279 come out on tomorrow's episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. Tuesday 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.960 is always a little bit of a down time in 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.120 the football week. It is the day off for players, 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.800 but we have news and notes. It is not a 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760 day off for speech. Check this out. De Sean Jackson 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.599 and O. J. Howard were both seen in walking boots 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.120 after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Atlanta Falcons 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.920 last night. Who is left you know? You know about 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.200 Mike Evans already? The question is could that be a 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.560 little bit of a boost to making America break again? 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.400 We will find out. Also check this out. After coming 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.320 back and the much you know talked about return of 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.719 Aaron Rodgers, he had one game, didn't look like himself. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.200 The Packers lost that game. More importantly, the Falcons one 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:10.080 last night. That eliminates the Green Bay Packers from playoff contention, 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.360 and in response, the Green Bay Packers have sent Aaron 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:18.480 Rodgers to I are effectively ending his season. Why risk 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.240 it for a team that is not now contending in 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:26.240 the playoffs. Amirabdulah in Detroit is quote unquote frustrated by 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.760 what apparently is him getting benched. I mean tay On 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.040 Green apparently has leap frogged him, and THEO Ritick is 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.640 there as well. Amirabdula only got eight snaps last week, 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:41.679 even when THEO Ridick fumbled earlier on in the game. Okay, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.760 so I think Amiabdullah done fu gazy and THEO Ritic 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.640 because I do not believe in tay On Green. I 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.200 think THEO Rittic is a very interesting play moving forward. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.000 This week, the Detroit Lions have the Cincinnati Bengals, I believe, 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.440 and they have waived the white flag on the season. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.520 The Patriots are optimistic that Rex Burkhead will be back 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.520 for the playoffs, but he probably won't be back ahead 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.280 of that time that with the spray knee that he 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.280 got in Pittsburgh against the Steelers on Sunday. I believe, Listen, 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.200 there's gonna be a lot of Dion Lewis, but I 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.360 think James White finds his way back into that committee 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.080 in New England as well. We got a couple more people. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.600 It's not just Aaron Rodgers going to I R. Hunter 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.600 Henry the tight end for the Chargers. They're going He's 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.400 going to I R. Might that mean Antonio Gates is 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.920 viable as a streaming tight end against the Jets this week? 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:32.720 I don't really think. So we'll talk about it more 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.400 in the next segment when we do our waiver wire 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.040 ads Tom Savage also to I R. For the Texans. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.160 It does look like t J. Yates will be the 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.120 man for the Texans moving forward under center. Also in Pittsburgh, 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:47.800 we found out Antonio Brown will miss week sixteen. James 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.960 Conner has been sent to I R. Here's what I'm saying, 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.720 and I said it again, Yes, I said it yesterday. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:57.679 Fitzgerald Toussaint, I think becomes the Levy on bell Hancuff. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.080 Some of you people out there have playoffs where you 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.360 have like two weeks, so you gotta worry about Week seventeen. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.200 Levyan Bella is healthy right now, but God forbid something changes. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.960 You need the backup, you need the handcuff. I believe 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.160 that it is fitz Gerald Toussaint, although just to let 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.240 you know, and to further complicate things, the Pittsburgh Steelers 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:21.000 did sign Stephen Ridley today. That's pretty much an insurance policy. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.240 I will say this though, in dynasty leagues, in keeper leagues, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.200 keep James Conner. Okay, they liked this kid, and uh 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.360 remember my narrative. I don't know. Imagine if it all 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.840 works out well and Big Ben rides off in the sunset, 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.440 I can see Levy on Bell testing free agency, making 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.640 James Conner a very interesting asset in dynasty leagues. All right, 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.800 I want to talk a little bit more about Monday 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.760 Night football. Last night, as the Atlanta Falcons beat the 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.000 Tampa Bay Bucks two to twenty one, Tampa Bay had 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.360 a kick to try to tie it up as regulation ended. 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.520 It did not happen. I gotta tell you something. I 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.240 told you that I would take the Buck as home dogs. 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.600 I said that six or seven points was a little 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.800 bit too much. I said I liked the Falcons to 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.719 win twenty three. That was the final. I gave you 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.920 a three point game instead. It was one very close 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.000 by your boy spitting speeds. I hope you listen to me, 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.679 and said, had the Falcons winning the game but not 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.480 covering the spread. I also told you that Mike Evans 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.920 was gonna actually show up and deliver for Fantasy owners. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.120 A lot of people should I bench Mike Evans in 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.280 my semifinal. Everybody who said that, I was like, no, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.320 I don't think you can do that. And Mike Evans 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.040 finally had himself a representative out in five catches, seventy 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.800 nine yards and a touchdown. I think he helped you 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.000 if you actually stuck with him. The thing is, he 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.439 had also two offensive past interference calls on him that 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.839 I thought were a little fool gazzy. If you want 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.400 to know the truth, I think Mike Evans is uh 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.719 maybe on his way back, and I think he will 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.760 be undervalued if you want to know the truth. Next season, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.400 my man Corey Parson, the Fantasy executive, always says that 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.280 he would like to take last year's trash, and one 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.160 of the guys that will be last year's trash when 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.160 we talk about next year, it's gonna be Mike Evans. 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.080 They're gonna have a new head coach, probably a new scheme. There. 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.120 I'm back all in on Mike Evans next year. You 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.719 saw the talent and I, uh, you know, if you 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.640 started him this week. It probably worked out for you. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:20.960 If you listen to spitting speeds, it probably looked out 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.760 worked out for you as well. Let me tell you 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.400 something else. So DeVonta Freeman is a beast. He runs 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:31.240 very hard. He made a dude look silly um on 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.640 his long run. I think Devonte Freeman, you know, now 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.480 further removed from his injuries, his concussions. You see when 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.480 Tevin Coleman is not there. This is a guy that really, 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.160 in my opinion, is an RB one. Two carries for 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.440 a hundred and twenty six yards and a touchdown, another 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.199 sixty eight via the passing game, pretty much a hundred 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.040 and ninety plus scrimmage yards plus a touchdown. I will 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.120 take that. I know next week they got a tough 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.520 match up against the New Orleans Saints defense, but I 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.679 think the Vante Freeman is locked and loaded as an 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.640 RB one moving forward. I also told you about how 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.040 Desawan Jackson and O. J. Howard were um banged up. 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.480 If both of those guys are compromised, check the practice reports, 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.640 which I'll start sharing on tomorrow's episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.800 But I think make America braid again. Cameron Brake could 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.679 be a very interesting option at tight end if you 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.000 need someone, or a flex play if you need someone 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.200 in your championship. The last thing I'll say on this game, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.800 and I said it before the game, I said, some 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.920 of these guys might be auditioning for their new coach. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:33.599 I told you how I thought John Gruden wants to 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.600 get back into coaching. Did you hear that halftime speech. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.720 You're gonna tell me he's not trying to position himself 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.120 for a head coaching job, thanking everybody and all that stuff. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.120 I think he is. I said it yesterday and what 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.880 I heard last night does not change my opinion. All Right, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.679 it's time we gotta get into It's uh bovona. We 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.559 got a semi final edition of hashtag Game of Inches. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.920 I mean that big Ben Jesse James play that could 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.600 have been you know, frustrating if that ruined your league. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.439 What about that car fumble that could have been frustrated 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.679 if that ruined your What about the Gutskoski missed extra 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.120 point in that game? If that was your margin of 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.400 victory or loss, that could be really bad. And what 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.240 about on Monday Night Football last night when DeVonta Freeman 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.800 could have had another touchdown fumbled at the goal line 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.760 and then t Lolo got it. That helped nobody. It 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.240 could have hurt Devonte Freeman owners, but he he did enough. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.480 I'm sure if you had Freeman, you did. Okay, check 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.760 this out, Bone, I got some options for you. Here 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.200 are options for a semi final edition of hashtag Game 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.920 of Inches. First of all, Liberty Finder at Liberty Finder 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.920 lost their matchup on the car fumble that became a touchback. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.120 If Car had gotten that touchdown, they would have won. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.360 The only thing is I think we've already shouted out 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.000 Liberty Finder. I think Liberty Finder has already won a 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.560 Game of Inches, so I'm less likely to have them 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.559 win again. But that is tough. Lost on the car 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.160 fumble that became a touchback because you think you're going 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.880 in there for a touchdown, and then if all of 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.240 a sudden, instead of only getting the touchdown, you don't 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.160 get the plus six, but you get minus two for 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.520 the fumble. That is pretty bad. Check this out. Michael Perez, 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.360 who has been on Game of Inches before check this out, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.439 was down by forty. He says after a dud from Rivers, 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.280 a dud from Henry A dud from Funchius and a 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.079 dud from a j Green opponent when he was down 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.880 by forty. But you know we had in the late 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.960 games Todd Gurley and his forty three points. Michael Perez 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.600 is now headed to his fantasy championship on the back 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.200 of the girly man Todd Gurley. Check out Sam's Yang. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:38.079 Check this out opponent. His opponent had Michael Crabtree, and 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.800 Michael Crabtree fumbled real late, but Michael trav Creed then 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:46.520 recovered that fumble by himself. Our guy, Sam's Yang lost 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.040 by one point five points. If Crabtree actually did lose 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.760 that fumble, he would have won by half a point. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:57.600 Hashtag game of inches. Check this out. My info at 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:03.120 a L. Martinez lost thought they had it one lost 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:08.040 on a defensive stat correction for the Jacksonville Jaguars because 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:13.520 of return yards took away three point seven points. His 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.079 opponent had the Philadelphia Eagles, who got extra points in 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.840 stack corrections. And then this guy lost by point to 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.600 eight three tenths of a point in the semifinals because 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.560 of a stat correction. We got some other options, Chris, 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.680 I want to get your advice on but check this out. 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.240 We also I had, you know, we always do game 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.520 of inches. I had someone give me you ready for this, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.320 a game of miles. Big shout out to Nathan Conway 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.080 who won his semifinal matchup. Get this, Chris, two hundred 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:49.040 to sixty two absolutely crushed their opponent. We also had 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.040 Clayton trey Hand who had Big Ben or someone in 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.080 their league had Big Ben that play not getting the 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.440 touchdown instead giving the interception. Uh, someone in their league 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.400 lost by four points. I don't really want to say 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.360 that because this was in like the consolation bracket, so 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.200 it wasn't as high stakes. And then we've got one 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.960 more that I gotta bounce off you, Chris. Then what 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.680 we're gonna do when we get back, I'm gonna hear 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.680 who you think wins hashtag game of Inches, and we'll 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.920 talk about my waiver wire pickups for weeks sixteen, all 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.080 that and more. When we come back here, we're gonna 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.320 holler at the stats over beat Cipher as well. It's 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.840 the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Award Women Fantasy 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:29.400 Sports Radio Network, coming right back. Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:35.040 Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.760 They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.920 Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.160 Make sure listen live and dell o the app f 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.480 and t S Wire Radio. It's free and it's twenty 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.800 four seven. The best Fantasy sports on ten. He's on 0:15:53.880 --> 0:16:08.840 the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.680 Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Day Martinez 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.520 speeds the spitting statistician holding you down. And as you know, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.400 we've been doing it all season long. We do it 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.320 on Tuesdays and Wednesday's hashtag Game of Inches, where people 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.120 really lose their fantasy matchups or win their fantasy matchups 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:29.120 based on random ridiculous stuff. I gave a couple of nominees. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.520 Chris Bavona, the manimal is the guy who decides it. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.640 But we have one more nominee. You may know my 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.280 home girl, Miss First Team All Lit the shoulder shimmy 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.560 in full effect, Maria Marino Well. I found out this 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:47.000 morning from Maria that unfortunately Maria lost in her semifinals matchup. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.560 She lost by two point five points, she lost by 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.640 less than a field goal, and she had Matt Bryant 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.480 as her kicker. Go last night, Matt Bryant had a 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.800 field goal get blocked. If that field goal goes through, 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:06.240 Maria Marino advances to her fantasy championship, but instead she 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.320 is merely the semifinalist. I know, unfortunately that is not 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.320 so good and she is not so excited about that. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:19.080 But I don't think Maria can actually win hashtag Game 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.199 of Inches. I think she would have rather have won 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.920 her match up with Matt Bryant. But out of our 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.680 other nominees, it sounds like you've got an idea on 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.320 who the winner is. I mean, listen for Maria, that's 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:34.800 really unfortunately. Hey, you know she had some she had 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.960 she was so good on Sundays. She is so fun 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.920 on Sundays. She was always so excited, So really, what 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.240 can she say? No? I completely agree, I completely agree, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.520 But who does we got as? Uh? Who do you 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.600 think is the Game of inches? Uh? Winner? I so 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.560 badly wanted to go with the Todd Gurley forty three 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.320 points because being down by forty points in the playoffs 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.080 and winning like that, when you get a whole bunch 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.840 of duds, I'm mean, like that's just that's just insane, 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:07.360 but because they won, I'm sorry, I can't go. Yeah, 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.760 Game Aventes should be something for a loser, right, someone 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.960 who loses, to make them feel a little bit better 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:18.560 to be crushed by a stack correction, though. I let 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.000 me tell you something. If that was me and I 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.520 lost by a compensive stack correction and lost by point 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.399 to eight, my computer would be out the window on 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.160 the street, run over by a couple of cars, probably 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.880 pete on by a dog walking by. So I'm going 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.960 with the defensive stack correction to lose my point to eight, 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.320 I would have been crying. Yeah, I agree with you 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.040 and everybody a little inside radio, I have seen the 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.639 manimal Chris Bavona down there in the fantasy pit of misery. 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.159 Let me tell you something. He would do all of 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.000 the things he just said to his own computer if 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.800 he lost by a defensive stack correction and wound up 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.960 losing by point to eight. Unfortunately, that is what happened 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.760 to my info at a l. Martinez. If it's any 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.000 solace for you, at least you are the week fifteen 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:08.760 Game of Inches UH nominee champion winner from the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.400 All of you who did not lose in the semifinals. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.560 But maybe you know, maybe you had Antonio Brown, maybe 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.520 you had Davante Adams, maybe you had others which cause 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.960 you to need to go to the waiver wire this week. 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:22.720 That's what we're gonna do here. In this segment of 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.159 the Fantasy Freestyle, we started the quarterback position. Let me 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.959 tell you something. Last week, I gave you three quarterbacks. 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.080 I gave you Blake Bortles, I gave you Nick Foles. 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.880 I give you Jimmy Garoppolo. All of them popped off 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.880 for you. Bordles and Jimmy g both over three yards 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:43.200 with multiple touchdowns. Nick Foles put up four touchdowns against 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.440 the Giants. If you listen to me and had any 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.919 of those guys, I think they all actually outperformed Aaron 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.360 Rodgers in his loan start over the last couple of weeks, 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.800 because Rogers had three picks, so you needed to listen 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.159 to me. I like two of them again. I like 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.640 Nick Foles again. He's now only seven percent owned after 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.919 his four touchdown puts Worman's He's got the Oakland Raiders 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.000 another bad defense, this time at home. I think Nick 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:12.200 Foles is viable if you need a quarterback he's only owned. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.080 I like Blake Bortles again. Bortle service. Let me tell 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.520 you something. He had three hundred twenty three yards and 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.320 three touchdowns in his last five games. He has now 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:24.040 only had one interception to go along with eight touchdowns. 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.600 And they faced the San Francisco forty Niners. I like 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.080 that matchup. I am completely okay with you starting Blake 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:35.200 Bortles over name guys if it comes to that in 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:40.040 your fantasy championship. Jimmy Garoppolo, however, I'm off Jimmy Garoppolo. 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.600 He'st owned. He had a big time game three hundred 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.320 and eighty one yards last week. He is three and 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:48.960 old as a startup for the forty Niners, but I'm 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.600 off him this week. Do not grab Jimmy Garoppolo y 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.800 because they're playing the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. That catch 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.280 scratch fever. I fade quarterbacks against him. What about Eli 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:04.120 Manning owned? He put the ball up fifty seven times 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:09.600 last week? They get Arizona in Arizona after thirty seven 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.159 of fifty seven for four thirty four and three touchdowns. Listen, 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:15.640 I think they could be down. I think Eli could 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.240 be a volume thrower again. I think there are worse 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.280 options on on target. You heard I think it was 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.760 it was Joey p or Jake Seeley saying that they 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:28.320 would actually take Eli Manning over Big Ben Roethlisberger this week. 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.720 I'm not going that far, but I think you could 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:34.120 do worse than Eli Manning at running back. I gotta 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:36.320 tell you, first of all, before we go into the 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:41.800 waiver guys at running back, Ezekiel Elliott is owned in 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:47.000 of leagues. That means one out of every twenty of 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:49.840 you that are listening right now. If you actually went 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.320 you can go ahead and pick up Ezekiel Elliott right 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:57.080 now in his return from suspension going up against the 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.200 Seattle Seahawks. And by the way, did just see what 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.760 Todd Gurley did to that Seahawks defense last week. It's 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.720 just worth the check. I'm not saying like I'm breaking 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.440 news here, but it is worth the check. He's owned 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.040 one out of twenty of You can go pick up 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.200 Zeke Elliott. Maybe you need him for the Fantasy Championship. 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.359 Other running backs I think are viable. I think James White. 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:20.720 I like James White. He's fifty one owned. I like 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.200 James White in for the role that Rex Burkehead had. Okay, 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.639 now they get ahold, we could practice there up against Buffalo. 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.879 I think he's viable. I think it's still gonna be 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.280 Dion Louis getting a heavy share. But I think James 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.439
