Here's who's gonna go down today, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.560 All right, First things first, we've been doing our division 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.400 by division previews. I did not get through much of 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.080 the NFC East here on our Monday show. I had 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.240 a special guest in. We were talking basketball for a 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.680 little while. We were doing rapping athletes and stuff like that. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.440 So we're gonna go back and make sure I give 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.120 you everything you need to know. You get your diamonds 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.680 and your full gay. These the guys who forget about 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.400 in the NFC East as it relates to fantasy football. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.800 We'll talk also about wind totals, will talk about division odds, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.920 things like that gets you ready with everything you need. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.520 In the NFC East, were also going to talk I 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.640 mean one of the major players in the NFC East 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.960 obviously is Ezekiel Elliott. I want to talk about, um, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.560 these contract holdouts that we're seeing with some of these 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.520 running backs now, right, like, following the precedent set by 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.840 Levan Bell, we've seen Melvin Gordon as of the last 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.400 week talking about this right that he wants the extension 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.120 or he wants to be traded. He's got he's on 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.000 the last year of his deal. Now, Ezekiel elipt who 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.440 has two years on his deal still left he's talking 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.480 about holding out because maybe he gets the extension now, right, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.760 or at least like sounding the alarm, shall we say 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.880 it to the Jones family and the Dallas Cowboys. I'm 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.760 gonna tell you why I actually believe. I know it 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.920 sounds crazy, but I believe that Melvin Gordon is doing 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.800 the right thing. I believe that Ezekiel Elliott is doing 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.159 the right thing. And guess what if the Chargers, if 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.159 the Cowboys decide to be like, yeah, you go ahead 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.560 and take a walk, I can accept that they're doing 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.880 the right thing. If they decide to trade or extend them, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.640 I can understand why they would be doing the right thing. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.960 I'll explain the scenarios and what I think are the 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.440 factors the considerations from the player side and then also 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.080 from the team's side, because unfortunately, they do not, you know, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.040 they don't mesh well in this kind of contract negotiation, 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.880 collective bargaining world that we are in. Okay, So I'll 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.080 try and outline that for you. And I got a 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.120 few other ways to look at it, all right, And 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.080 one of the ways is kind of similar to our 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.920 poll question that we do do in fact have up right? Now? 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.880 All right, I'm asking you, uh, you know, Madden ratings 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.640 came out. Okay, that's how I kind of know it's 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.520 football season. Matting ratings came out, and there are a 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.120 lot of guys that are piste off at their matting rating. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.440 We're going to get into it in our next segment. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.080 We're gonna talk a little bit about out that, like 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.280 should you care what the video game rates you? Are 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.520 they accurate depictions of who you are as a player 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.640 and more? And that is, in fact the poll question 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.680 that I have up as always you can holler at 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.120 me at spitting speeds. Do you think the mad At 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.240 ratings are a good representation of NFL players skill sets? 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.560 Do they get it right? Do they get it wrong? 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.599 I also have options that they get it right in 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.840 some of the categories right, And then I also have 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.360 an option that they get it right for some of 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.200 the positions. You know, maybe they get running backs right, 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.960 or maybe they get people's speed or agility right. You know. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.360 Um so I think that's interesting. We'll check in on 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.800 that a little bit later on in this show. And 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.640 I am excited. Listen, you know how much I love 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.800 the stats over beat Cipher. We're doing it twice a 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.799 week before the stats over Beat Cipher and I told 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.920 you guys, Um, I think it was Monday, or maybe 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.680 it was even last week, that we are going to 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.720 do a Pit of Misery Fantasy football league. Okay, it 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.200 looks like we're gonna have fourteen teams in this league. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.760 It looks like it's gonna be half kind of like 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.839 the hosts people, you know, the Greg Susman's, the Frank Standfulds, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.000 the Dane Martinez is of the world here on the 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.520 Fantasy Sports Network. And then it looks like we're all 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.920 gonna kind of bring in someone, you know, Ventum might 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.400 bring in someone from the Goon squad. We might bring 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.600 in one of our best friends forever. And I am 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.240 going to have a status over Beat Cipher member as 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.080 a part of this league.

Definitely no, but I 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.280 I said my hot take, it's it's a sell on 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.679 Chris Paddock. Now, Like his stock is gonna be real 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.720 high right now. Everyone's like, oh my god, he's amazing. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:12.240 Right but um, he got up to ninety innings pitch 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.839 for the season. That's how many innings he pitched last year. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:16.679 So I don't know how much he has left. And 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.360 I made this point before here. Scott Boris is his agent. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.720 He did it with Harvey in two thousand fifteen, he 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.480 did it with Stroudsburg in two thousand and twelve. Um, 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.959 he's gonna want to shut them down. And so when 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.320 you have someone that you're relying on for your fantasy 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.120 baseball team who may get shut down. I'm saying, tonight's 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.440 the night to sell high. And it's interesting our man, 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.760 Maddy Modica. You hear him on best Friends Forever other 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.040 places on this network. He was like, I wouldn't do that, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.160 that the padres managing him and stuff like that. And 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.480 I was like, listen, you really think that's gonna happen. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.040 And then here's what I think is interesting. He says, 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.480 you must assume that others are thinking the same thing 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.600 if you play in a competitive league. Okay. He then 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.920 later says, in my back and forth with him, you've 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.360 you've you should have been planning for this or actively 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:06.200 acquiring another arm, planning for this. That's what I'm telling 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.079 you to do. Get ahead of it, plan for this, 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.679 know about this that even Maddie Mo He's like, I've 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.439 done this. But he's in like all these high stakes 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.120 competitive leagues, right, that's what high stakes competitive people are doing. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.040 They are like, they're like, yeah, I got your speeds right, 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.120 But I'm telling you the Statsu beat cipher if you 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.120 did not know, I only think it makes it even 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.439 more valid than it is. A strategy. You gotta look 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.000 at it Chris Paddock definitely a name to know about that. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.640 All Right. So I was telling you that people care 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.360 about their Madden ratings. Okay, Madden ratings came out I 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.440 don't know, like earlier this week, and it's crazy. Everyone 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.720 cares about it. Okay, this is a big deal. People 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.240 are on social media about it. And let's let's set 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.560 this out so Yang down in their fantasy pit of misery. 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.760 He's gonna play this first video. It's Keenan Allen. Okay, 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.280 it's Keenan Allen. And what he's doing is Keenan Allen 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.680 had a I think it was an Instagram video where 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:01.920 he's an essence commenting on his ratings in the Madden game. Okay, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.040 we're gonna play the audio of this. You can find 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.200 the clip also out there on social media on video, 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.320 but we're gonna play the audio for it right now. Yeah, 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.480 you got that ready, Let's bump that. That's a Keenan 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:15.000 Allen talking about his matting ratings. Let's play this. And 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.280 I just want to start this video off by saying 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.559 I will not be playing Mad in twenty oh period. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:28.120 All right. Number one, my overalls at eighty nine, that's 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.600 not bad. My short route running is a ninety one. Okay, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:38.679 that's not bad. He's upset the off. My medium running 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.840 is at eighty eight also sounds decent. What's like my 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.080 deep round running seventy five? Well that's a little ridiculous. Bro, 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:52.800 who's making this? Wait? Wait, who's clearly not happy? Speedies 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.679 at eighties seven? Like? Bro, ain't nobody just running with me? 0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.280 Step for step? Like it's not this We eat out 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.000 there man? Like, what are you thinking? Is safety nine? 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.800 Like I'm a little boy. He's a little boy. He's 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.840 a wide receiving something I'm not understanding. I'm an eighty 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.760 nine in the game. Pro Bowl back bag. He's like, yeah, 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.400 I'm a back to back Pro Bowl and how am 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.640 I any nine in the game? I think that's hysterical. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.320 That sets the tone. These people care about their Madden ratings. 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.280 And it's not only that. Check this out. We got 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.920 um Eric Ebron okay tight end for the Indianapolis called 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.360 Eric Ebron tweeted about this as well. Let's put that 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.840 on the screen, guys, Eric Ebron bang Madden on that bull? 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.640 I see, I see? So Eric Ebron clearly not happy 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:41.000 about his rating. Cool Another one, Taylor Lawan. Okay, one 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.120 of the best tackles in the NFL. Taylor Lawan, I 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.920 recently found out that I'm an eighty one rating on Madden. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.760 I don't play the game, but I do feel extremely disrespected. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.680 I will not forget this. This is while these guys, 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.040 but it's also on the other side of the of things, Okay. 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.880 Jalen Ramsey Alright, Jalen Ramsey posted as well. Check this 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.760 out like God bless me, blah blah blah. He is 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.920 the highest rated cornerback in Madden. It looks like his 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.520 rating overall is a nineties six, better than Stephen Gilmore. 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.000 And you know, as you can see, the list goes down. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.480 And you know, we talked about the Jacksonville Jaguars that 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.680 cat scratch fever. You know, it looks like they got 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:20.720 two guys, Jayla Ramsey and a j Booty in the 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.000 top Oh, I don't know the top ten ratings. Remember, 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.160 don't forget about as the best friends forever always say 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.760 the cat scratch fever. But I think it's interesting, like 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:32.280 how much people care about these games, all right, and 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.520 about these ratings. And then the last one I want 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.400 to put up for you, and this is then the context. Okay, guys, 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.360 remember this. We're gonna put it up now, but I'm 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.440 also gonna talk through it a little bit in our 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.920 next segment if we need to, if we go over. Okay, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.120 I told you about Zeke Elliott. I told you about 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:52.320 Melvin Gordon. Right, So here's the thing, Zeke Elliott, it's 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.600 a really good football player. He's actually a rating in 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.400 the game. That's awesome, right, Melvin Gordon is actually a 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.000 ninety one in the game. That's awesome. Right. But they're 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.840 trying to swing the leverage hammer, right and get an extension. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.400 The average NFL running back last like three years. Are 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.840 you really gonna sign running back? Do you want to sign? 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.920 I don't care who he is. I don't care who 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.560 he is. Do you really think it is a smart 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.440 move to sign a running back to a long term 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.600 deal on their second contract, a five year deal on 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.800 their second contract, when they're already age oh, I don't know, thirty, 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.400 I'm excuse me, twenty six, and they're gonna be in 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.000 that contract from age twenty six to thirty. You know, 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.440 in NFL running backs, you know, maybe all right, their 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.080 rookie year, they're getting their footing they are really when 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.200 when running backs pop is age like you know, seasons, 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.360 I don't know, two three, five, maybe by age like 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.800 these guys are already on the decline, all right, They're 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.800 getting hit over and over again. They're already starting to 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.600 be on the decline. So when you have your guy 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.880 at twenty five years old, like if they extend Melvin Gordon, 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.360 is he gonna be a good value for the Chargers 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.040 on the back end of that contract. I actually don't 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:11.160 know it's smart for the run back themselves when they 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.560 have leverage, if they think they do, to try to 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:18.040 get it now because they're not when the years old. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.399 But for the teams, I just understand, forget you, I 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.520 ain't gonna extend you. I don't care who you are. 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.800 You could be Zeke Elliott, for God's sakes, I don't care. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:28.720 You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna cheer you 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.680 up and spit you out. I'm gonna run you ragged. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.800 I'm gonna give you the ball two fifty times a game, 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.439 you know, squeeze all the juice out of you. Maybe 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.920 even franchise Taggy to get a little bit more if 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.760 you're really that great. And then by getting that time. 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.560 Guess what you're like, twenty seven years old. I'm letting 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.760 you hit the open market and I'm drafting your replacement. Okay, 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.640 we are going to on the other side of the break, 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:57.919 We are going to look at the top twelve running 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:02.400 backs in terms of con tracks and boy, oh boy, 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.800 are you gonna be surprised. We're gonna look at the 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.680 top like, you know, running backs on the Madden ratings, 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.240 and we're gonna be like, oh, those backs. And when 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.480 I tell you what those people are making, and when 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.760 I tell you the contracts of the top ten running 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.000 backs in the NFL, and then I'm gonna ask you 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.399 if you had to make that deal over again, what 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.000 you're doing. And the answer from most of them is 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.960 hell no. And that's why Gordon may not get the extension, 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.160 Zeke may not get the extension. It doesn't matter who 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.120 they are. Remember the Chargers also let Joey Bosa hold 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.399 out until like the seventh game of the season, so 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.760 they're down to play hardball. We'll look at this. It's 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:39.919 very interesting. On the other side of the big fantasy freestyle, 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.560 come on back, Dailly Diller from the NFL to the 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.920 NBA Daily Roda dot com is the place to win 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.600 millions in daily fantasy.

Welcome back Fantasy Freestyle. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.240 Here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network episode three hundred 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.200 and eighty four, Convenient Stats over beat Cipher.

I got a 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.000 question in the chat room from a man Ben, who 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.000 wants to be down with the league, and he's saying, 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:41.080 Hey speeds, Hey Ben, relly dilly uh. Not sure how 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.359 high you want on mixing, but with their decimated old line, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.520 would you take him between the fifth and eighth pick 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.600 in a half point PPR? Ben? You know, I do 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.440 believe that the offensive line is a function that really 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.639 can of visceray teams uh and players uh potential, But 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.520 I am high on Joe mixing. Okay, I am high 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.880 on Joe mixing, and UH at five to eight, I'm 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.880 not sure, you know, let's put it this way, holdouts notwithstanding, right, 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.560 I think the top four are still say kwan Z, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:16.080 Kamara and McCaffrey. Okay, After that, that next tier for 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:21.639 me includes Levian Bell, it includes David Johnson, it includes 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:27.199 Melvin Gordon, it includes James Connor, and it includes Joe Mixing. 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.680 Those are the five for me that are numbers five 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.880 through nine in the running backs. Then we get into 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.919 you know the cooks and you know others. But um, 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.560 so I think that's viable. Okay, I do think it's 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:41.720 viable if you like mixing. You know, it depends on 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.399 who's left there. I would prefer Connor over mixing. But 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.520 I think you're in the right zone there, Ben. But 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.280 if you are in this stats over beats league, and 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.040 now I know that you have your eyes on mixing, 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.120
