I update you on 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.800 all the injuries that happened in week two as well. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.440 It is a violent game and there are some key 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.039 players that will be missing some time moving forward. We'll 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.000 talk a little bit about how you could react and 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.720 respond to them. I'm also gonna give you my takeaways 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.000 from game by game from week two, and also we're 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.520 going to take some time to preview the Monday night 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.880 football matchup that is getting started in about an hour 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.280 and a half right here in New York at MetLife 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.240 Stadium as the Detroit Lions come to town with my 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.560 man Jim Bob Cooder against these New York football giants 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.880 Eli Manning. We're gonna find out is Odell Beckham going 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.640 to play or not tonight. Early reports indicate that yes, 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.560 he is going to give it a go. And we 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.160 also have a poll question up for your right now 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.800 on Twitter at Spitting Speeds. I want to know which 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.840 diamond and the rough helped you win your week to 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.760 match up options are Jason Witten, Chris Thompson, who I've 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.359 been on for a minute, j j Nelson who did 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.120 big things in Arizona? Or was it someone else? And 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.400 already a lot of people are chiming in. Which player though, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.600 was your fantasy football full gaze for week to the 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.959 guy you really need to forget about. Was it Jordy 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.280 Nelson who got injured and put up a goose egg 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.040 on Sunday Night Football and that matchup that did in 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.480 fact produce fifty some odd points. Was it Ezekiel Elliott 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.880 who going up against the Denver Broncos. We thought that 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.200 was the way they were going to attack them, But no, no, no, 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.960 They pretty much put all fifty three men in the 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.640 box to try to stop Zeke and it worked. Zeke 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.639 had his lowing, lowest rushing output of his career. Was 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.080 it Thomas Rawls, who you might have thought was gonna 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.080 come on in and be the lead dog for that 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.640 Seattle committee, But no, it was not. We'll talk about 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.519 that a little bit later on as well. Like I said, 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.640 we're gonna take away what we can from every green, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.000 tell you what was real, what you can count on 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.519 moving forward, and what was just a flash in the pen, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.840 and where you should not spend your waiver wire money. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.400 Things like that. As well, and we will take your calls. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.600 The number of call is eight four four eight four 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.240 three six eight seven nine. And I'm also gonna tell 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.080 you about why the numbers one eighteen to one ten 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.960 is should be getting someone fired. If you saw that 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.000 fight in Vegas on Saturday night, you know what I'm 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.160 talking about, and you know why that is absolutely ridiculous 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.800 as part of the outcome for that event on Saturday night, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.200 We'll get into that as well.

We're gonna get into the 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.680 callers in just a second, but we have to get 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.240 into some news notes and most notably some injuries from 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.120 week two. If you don't know, now you know, because 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.320 we got to talk about the impacts as well. First 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.280 of all, we gotta art in Carolina where stud tight 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.880 end Greg Olsen is going to be out. It looks 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.560 like six to eight weeks because he broke his foot 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.880 in that game against Buffalo yesterday. For Carolina, I think 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.200 Ed Dixon is kind of the next man up, but 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.559 I think there's definitely better options on the waiver wire. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.840 Tomorrow's show, we'll look into the waiver wire. The top ads, 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.120 the top drops tell you if you really need to 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.080 invest your fab budget in some of those people, if 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.240 you need to burn your waiver priority for those people. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.200 And I think there's a number of other tight ends 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.360 on the wire made guys like Cameron Bread you know 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.560 as well, that you can get to kind of replace 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.919 Greg Wilson. I gotta tell you though, Greg Olsen was 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.480 one of my tight end fool gazes. I told you 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.320 you needed to forget about him. If you go back 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.000 to my season preview, when I went positioned by position, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.680 I had Greg Olsen as one of my tight end 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.400 fool gazes because I thought that this offense was evolving 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.280 in a different way to have Cam get the ball 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.559 out quicker, and I thought that that was not good 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.320 things for Greg Olsen. So if you was listening to me, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.320 then he was not on your rosters and you're looking 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.640 for a replacement after week two staying in Carolina, listen, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.039 Cam Newton Man. They want to protect him, but I 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.440 don't know if that's an easy task. He's got now 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.200 an ankle issue. He's already still, you know, kind of 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.200 nursing and coming back from that shoulder. He said himself, 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.560 he does not like the way that he has played 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.599 in the first couple of weeks. But you know what 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.560 the antidote to that is a Week three matchup against 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.359 the New Orleans Saints, because both offenses that they have 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.160 played so far have looked amazing and I expect Cam 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.599 Newton to rebound in a big way in Week three. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.920 Bad news for the Browns wide receiver Corey Coleman. The 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.360 figures like has a broken hand that looks like he's 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.720 gonna also have surgery. He also broke a hand last year, 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.640 this same very injury. Okay, so I believe he is 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.640 now a little bit injury prone. What does that mean 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.599 for wide receivers With Deshaun Kaiser in Cleveland? A lot 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.760 of people think that Kenny Britt is the answer. I 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.040 that's I don't necessarily. I actually think Kenny Britt is 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.000 trying to do his best job to like get cut 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.880 by the team and have that move on all together. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.680 I think, listen, this ro Shard Higgins dude who came 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.000 out and did real well yesterday. I think there is 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.360 a chance for him to wind up being the leading 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.400 receiver of the Cleveland Browns this year. I also think 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.440 that means good things for the rookie tight end David 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.480 and Joku. I think it means good things for the 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.080 receiving back like Duke Johnson Jr. As well. Keep an 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.240 eye on that right now. I'm telling you ra Shard 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.040 Higgins is gonna be is one of the highest waiver ads. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.760 I also know we got a caller every week that 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.080 asked me about Josh Gordon. I expect that call to 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:37.040 happen at some point this week as well. In New 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.680 Orleans and the Patriots game where Tom Brady looked like 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.080 he was back. Rob Gronkowski left with a groin injury. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.520 He um, he was on the he was on the bike. Afterwards, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.280 they're saying now that it is not expected to be serious, 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.040 and that is a very good thing for the Patriots. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.360 I'm telling you. It is a reminder, though. The broadcasters 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.160 are saying like, yeah, if if Gronk is out for 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.720 any amount of time, like where does Tom Brady go? 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.360 You know? And I think that this attrition is going 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.200 to get to the Patriots eventually, Danny Amondola out, Julian 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.760 Edelman out without Gronk as well. We shall see. But 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.200 it is a reminder to the people who thought the 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.400 Pats were gonna go sixteen and oh, that anything actually 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.960 can happen. In Sunday Night Football, which I told you 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.560 was going to be a shootout, and they put up 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.880 something like fifty seven points. I hope you had everybody 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.239 in that game, with the exception of Jordy Nelson. Jordy 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.640 Nelson was pulled in the first quarter of Sunday Night 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.559 Football before he had a catch or a target with 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.080 a quad injury. He was also on the bike there 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.400 listing him as day to day, but that would be 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.240 an issue. And you saw that Aaron Rodgers was struggling. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.960 He was missing both of his starting offensive tackles, and 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.360 as soon as Jordy Nelson went out, it was a 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.199 lot of Davante Adams. It was a lot of time Montgomery. Unfortunately, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.680 Randall Cobb also left that game for the Packers. That 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.400 was much later in the game. He's dealing with a 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.760 little bit of a shoulder injury. The biggest news for 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.920 week two was that Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford did not play, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.760 did not dress, was inactive. It wound up being case 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.840 Keenum and that offense looked a lot different. Beat reporters 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.800 are saying though that they expect Sam Bradford to be 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.400 back for week three, although head coach Zimmer is not 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.880 so sure. He's saying like that, yes, it was swelling 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.839 because of a hit, it wasn't any damage to the ligaments. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.400 But they're saying, yeah, he could be playing week week three. 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.360 It could be a six week injury. Zimmers plays close 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.120 to the vest usually with his updates, so keep an 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.840 eye out on that. But the offense looked dramatically different 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.000 without the accuracy and the eight percent completion percentage of 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.920 Sam Bradford. The other thing I want to mention is 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.160 Jordan Howard Bears running back Jordan Howard. He was ineffective largely, 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.840 but he was spotted with his arm in a sling 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.320 after the game. I think that's even more reason to 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.040 think that Terek Cohen is certainly a thing that will continue. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.800 They had a ship load regardless, and Cohen is the 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.960 more dynamic player, all the more reason to think that 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.719 Tarik Cohen is ascending. The last thing I want to 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.120 give you coming out of week two, we go down 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.680 to Tennessee and Exotic smash Mouth. The Titans are listening 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.959 both to Marco Murray and Corey Davis as day to 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.800 day with hamstring issues. You saw Derrick Henry have one 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.719 of his best games as a pro and have the 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.200 bigger share of the production, but a lot of that 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.280 was because Murray had a hamstring. Keep an eye on 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.079 that as we go along into week three. When it 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:34.240 comes to Corey Davis, listen, so many opportunities, so many options. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.880 Now in Tennessee, Delaney Walker had the best game, but 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.320 Eric Decker is still there, Corey Davis as well, and 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.880 don't forget about Richard Matthews. But let's keep it moving 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.400 here on the Fantasy Freestyle, what I wanna do is 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.480 I don't want to tell you what my biggest takeaways 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.040 were from week two, and I have five of them 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.520 that I want to get into right now. Is our 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.920 top five dead or alive? Here on the site from 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.120 on the Fantasy Freestyle. The first thing is that the 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.720 a f C West is stacked. The f C West 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.319 is absolutely stacked. Everybody's Arlans. The Oakland Raiders are already too. 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.640 And oh, the Kansas City Chiefs look maybe like the 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.800 most impressive team in the a f C after that 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.360 Week one blowout win against the Patriots. They doubled down 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.839 at home over a game Eagles team, and Kareem Hunt 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.920 looks like a big deal. I am getting questions on 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.199 Twitter right now about like I literally had someone asked 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.680 me Kareem Hunt for LEVI On Bell, I literally had 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.160 someone asked me Kareem Hunt for Odell Beckham. I think 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.840 the time is now if you want to try and 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.560 get high value. I don't think it's silly to try 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.480 to trade Kareem Hunt. You could probably get Shady McCoy plus, 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.839 you could probably get Todd Gurley plus, you could get 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.520 Carlos High plus, you could get Davante Freeman plus. Right 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.960 now for a guy like Kareem Hunt, And yes, he 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.000 looked amazing and he has the potential to be a 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.920 top three back this year. But I don't know. I 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.640 think eventually things will regress to the mean. But the 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.560 Chiefs look good, the Raiders look good. Denver looks good 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.199 as well with the whooping they put on the Dallas 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.720 Cowboys yesterday. That defense continues to be in rare form. 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.840 And don't sleep c J. Anderson is now back healthy. 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.319 If they have a running game, you know what DDT 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.480 and Manny Sanders on the on the outside, I believe 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.600 Trevor Simeon can manage the game well enough with that 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.360 defense to really do things. And in the a f 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.559 C West, the Chargers could also beat to one oh 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.040 if they just had a kicker that could put it 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.440 through the uprights young way cool. I think it's gonna 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.240 lose his job pretty soon. Had an opportunity to beat 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.559 the Dolphins with a game winning kick, had an opportunity 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.439 to send that game in Week one on Monday Night 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.480 into overtime against the Broncos. He was not able to 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.959 get it done. But I think the a f C 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:43.840 West looks tough against non division UH contenders. Another division 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.640 that I think looks real tough is the NFC South. Okay, 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.680 the NFC South is also good. I mean the Atlanta 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.959 Falcons look like they are a scary and sustainable offense 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.920 that will be a problem for years to come. I 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.640 thought Kyle Shanahan was gonna take some of the umph 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.120 out of that offense. Let me tell you something. They 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.840 look good and Sarkeekasion is scheming it up. You know, 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.720 Julio Jones is obviously a stud. You got to duel 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.839 running backs in Freeman and Coleman. But let me tell 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.280 you something, Mohammed Sanu is a viable wide receiver too. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.680 They didn't even need their tight end Austin Hooper. They 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.959 didn't need Tyler Gabriel. That is a stud team. Also, 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.160 Tampa Bay look good in their opener, you know, good 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.680 defensive line play. They um road pop quiz Jock Quiz Rogers. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.720 Their new toy Deshaun Jackson opens it up a little 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.200 bit from Mike Evans as long as Jameis Winston does 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.520 not turn the ball over. It was a narrative on 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.520 hard knocks, it will be a narrative all season long. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.239 I like the NFC South as well, and that Carolina 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.880 defense looks like it is back with a healthy Luke 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.720 keek Lee. Another takeaway I really have is that running 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.960 back is a young man's hustle. Running back is a 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.120 young man's hustle. We're seeing all of these new running 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.360 backs and to the fray, and boy are they ascending. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.880 Whether it's Dalvin Cook. We already talked about Kareem Hunt, 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.240 Chris Carson in Seattle, who I think has maybe leap 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.160 frog Thomas Rawls, and it's gonna be the back. Eddiec 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.200 was inactive in that game, and it looks like Carson 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.000 was the only back who could be effective in Seattle. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.280 Leonard four Nette doing this thing I told you last 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.480 week about Deontay Foreman in a time share. Now with 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.480 Lamar Miller down in Houston, even some som A G. P. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.720 Ryan we saw, I personally think that new offensive coordinator 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.120 in Cincinnati, Laser, is gonna wind up giving the ball 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.400 to Joe Mixon and giving it to him a ton. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.720 I think young running backs, it is a young man's hustle. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.560 I think that is the move you suit. Also in Baltimore, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.600 buck Allen getting a lot more work over Terence West. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.440 You're even seeing the guys like Elijah McGuire in New 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.120 York getting a chance. I think these young running backs 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.840 are gonna do things smallwood over guys like Legarrett Blunt 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.760 in Philly, even demark Um Derrick Henry growing in Tennessee. 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.760 I think those are all things that you could look for. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.640 I think Frank Gore is the only ageless wonder left 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.200 in the NFL. I'm telling you go with the young 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.360 running back, and that um keeps me happy about other 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.160 young running backs who may emerge later on in the season. 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.480 Go with the youth if you can. When we come 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.680 back though here on the Fantasy Freestyle, what we're gonna 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.440 do is we're gonna open up the phone lines. I'm 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.119 gonna take some of your calls. It's an accountability Monday 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.360 right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I got some calls 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.520 lined up. I hope I gave him the right advice 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.280 so I don't get lamb basted going into Week three. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.240 But we'll see one way or the another. I'll be 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.960 here at eight four four eight four three seven nine, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.120 right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, coming right back, Hunter, 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:33.760 Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.080 not due to slump, They're due to break out. Just 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.600 like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network eight year two, things 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.200 are only getting better. Make sure lists live and tell 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.200 o the app f f T s Y Radio. It's 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:53.280 free and it's twenty four seven the best Fantasy sports ten. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:16:09.560 He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. H welcome back 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.680 to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here on the Fantasy Sports 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.280 Radio Network. Is your boy Day Martinez holding you down 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.160 on a Monday. We're about an hour to go until 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.920 Monday Night football. Giants and Lions gonna be getting to 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.280 go in from MetLife Stadium. I want to real quickly 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.400 let you know that Odell Beckham is in fact active 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.400 for Monday night football. They were worried about that ankle. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.160 He is active. I don't know though, I think he 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.240 could be a decoy, but you gotta put him in 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.920 your lineups. If you have old Dell Beckham, you gotta 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.640 start your studs. However, Genora's Jenkins and middle linebacker b J. 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.040 Goodson are out, and I think that could mean some 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.160 interesting things for Lions tight end Eric Ebron and Golden 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:51.120 Tate as well off. Genor's Jenkins is not on him. 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.760 I do want to get to the phone lines here 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.080 in this segment of Fantasy Freestyle. We got a couple 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.240 of callers on the line. Let's get it started right now. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.160 Going into week three with paul Et in Eastchester. Hey, Paula, 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.960 you're dropping stats over beat. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.400 How you doing? You? Uh? Two and oh one and one? 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.240 How you doing? How we help? Well? I'm I'm one 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.600 and one, but I'm okay. Hey, thanks again for take 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.320 thanks again for taking my call. I'm in a twelve 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:22.440 man PPR league, and UH props for UH last week 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.919 recommending East Sanders and Davante Adams and sitting cup um. 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.080 But this week, I don't like Howard in a sling. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.679 I don't like it, and I like seeing a sling 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.760 at all. And I'm a little soft on my bench. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.679 And I know how you feel about T West. So 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.920 I have T West and Carson, So my question is 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.200 who to go with? And I'm stronger and wide receivers. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:51.440 I should probably be looking for an rb uh. Thanks 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.040 for the call, and I'm glad that we helped you 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.520 out last week. I did tell you the fake cup 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.840 in that situation. I like Davante Parker, you went over 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.080 the top tried to help you out. Um, Carson is real, man. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.520 I think Carson is going to be the lead back 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.040 for the Seattle Seahawks. Listen, Thomas Rawles. I I thought 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.159 Thomas Rawles was going to be that role. It was 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.359 clear by the second half of that game yesterday that 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.600 they believe in Chris Carson. They wanted to see what 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:19.199 this kid could do. And if you heard me at 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.400 the top of the show, I think this is evolving. 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.200 The running back position is a young man's game. When 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.320 all things are created equal, they're gonna go with the 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.560 young kid. I think, in your case that is Carson, Paulie. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.680 So I'm okay rolling with Carson for now. And remember, 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.120 you know it's it's it's matchup to kind of depending 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.080 a little bit right. They were playing the forty Niners 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.280 and they're real bad run defense. But I do think 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.280 that Carson is the Seattle back to own. So I 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.320 would be Okay with that, feel free to call me 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.160 back a little bit later on in the week and 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.120 we could tweak your lineup for week three. But I'm 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:50.840 glad I was able to help you out a little 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.399 bit last week. We got another call right now. It 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.720 is uh, I think we have Steve in Massachusetts. Remember 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.159 Stephen Massachusetts from earlier in the week. Hope I was 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.119 able to help him out two and he's not yelling 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.439 at me. But Steve, you're dropping stats over beat. You're 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.040 on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Hey, that's going on. 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:12.640 I'm not yelling. I mean it has to come down 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:16.200 at my players. Uh, you know, doing their job. I'm 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.040 one than one. Um. It looks like Russell Wilson had 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:27.199 a good matchup, but when guys can't even catch the ball, yeah, 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.360 it's gonna be a problem all year long. I don't 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:30.960 know if you hurt me at the top of the show, Steve, 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.800 but I think these teams are bad offensive lines. That's 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.160 not something like if you lose a wide receiver, you 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.040 know they have that next man up kind of thing. 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.080 You lose a running back, it's next man up. You 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.800 can't do that. There's no like next five men up. 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.920 So these offensive line teams, it is a problem, whether 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.679 it's Cincinnati, whether it's Seattle. I also think, unfortunately the 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.520 New York Football Giants fit into that category as well. 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.439 And we're gonna see that tonight. But how can I 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.960 help you? Going from forward? Steve? I a question, and 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.240 I'll try not to take much of times. So yeah, too, Well, 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.199 it's about two players. It's about two players because it 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.080 was gonna be about one. But I just found out 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.359 that this guy might be inactive too. It was about 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.879 Timmy Graham. Uh. I remember you talked about Greg Olson. 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:15.439 I didn't try grabbing this guy. Guys like Matthew Barry 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.320 and all these other dude saying that this guy might 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.920 be a tough uh tight end. So maybe some way 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.720 down the road it'll turn around for him. But he's 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.120 already out for week three and uh depend on if 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.600 it don't beck him? Uh has like magic in the 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.720 medal with and maybe I can actually come back and 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.040
