We also, as usually, 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.199 we got some poll questions up for You can follow 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.360 us at f n T s Y Radio on Twitter. 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.600 Of course you can holler at me, follow me at 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.200 Spitting Speeds.

The first one, if you haven't heard yet, 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.640 two NFL teams of making big moves at running back 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.960 to New Orleans Saints have come to agreements with Adrian 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.600 Peterson and after a while it's been hyped, right, but 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.080 the Oakland Raiders do in fact have Marshawn Lynch. We 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.120 asked you on the poll question which one of these 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.280 running Backs will have a more productive fantasy year for 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:15.280 their new team.

Alright, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:41.560 come on back. Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy 0:02:41.560 --> 0:03:00.239 Sports Radio Network. A you know what it is, this 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.280 your boy, Dane Martinez. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.600 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network of course, or 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.280 all our sports Byline affiliates around the country and the 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.799 American Forces Radio Network for all the servicemen and women 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.640 out there. Um, you know, this is Speed's giving you 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.200 a little taste to home because you need to win 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.079 your leagues and win your cash as well. So, speaking 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.440 of which, let's get into some news and notes around 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.640 Major League Baseball. King Felix Felix Hernandez is going to 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.000 the disabled list because of the shoulder. Listen, it was 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.079 an ugly two winning outing last night in Detroit, going 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.520 back to Seattle for an m r I on that shoulder. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.120 Not the only injury with the Seattle Mariners outfield of 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.080 Mitch Haniger also going to the d L. He's got 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.040 an oblique issue. Last night, Trade Turner hit for the 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.240 cycle yo and had seven r B. I remember he 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:45.880 had a little stint on the d L also with 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.040 one of those hamstring injuries. And I went and I 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.120 checked today, and I'm gonna tell you something, Trade Turner 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.640 is percent owned. That means right now, if you are, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.720 you know, chilling at happy hour or something, whether you're 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.800 at Rock and Riley's here with Studio thirty four or elsewhere, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.400 two of the people in the bar right now, look 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.160 around two of them, or in leaves where trade Turner 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.440 is available. If you are one of those two people, 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.520 you need to go out and get him. Brandon Crawford 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.760 Straighten is growing on a single. Last night he was 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.960 going on the bereavement Realist. It looked like this week 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.400 anyway had a death in his family. But now maybe 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:19.960 they're just gonna put him on the ten day dal. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.240 I remember I've been telling you about how they teams 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.760 are gonna manipulate this ten day d L. Another case 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.520 of that coming back tomorrow. Kendall Graveman coming back to 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.960 pitch for the A's at Los Angeles Vanaheim against the Angels, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.080 coming back from a shoulder injury. Remember they put him 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.680 on and I said from the beginning he was only 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.680 gonna miss one start, and now his second time through 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.720 the rotation he is back. Another person who might be 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.560 back soon Deeed Gregorious, New York Yankees shortstop on track 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.640 to return this weekend against the Orioles in Baltimore. So 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.200 yesterday when I gave you my starting pitchers, I told you, listened, 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.320 the way to do it was either to ride with 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.080 Kershaw or to try to beat Kershaw. Now, Kershaw had 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.760 a great game as usual, seven innings pitched, seven strike 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.039 out quality start, got the win, only gave up one. 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.480 Gave you about forty eight or so points. And I'm 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.359 talking about say fan duel stats right now. But I 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.680 told you. I told you that I liked Michael Waka 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.160 as an option, right And Waka didn't put up as 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.840 many as Kershaw, but he did go six struck, I 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.760 strike out six, get a quality start, get you about 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.560 thirty four Fantasy points. And with that change in price, 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:30.120 I was able to stack the Washington Nationals, including your 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.160 boy Trey Turner, who hit for the cycle. He got 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.000 me like sixty seven points. I had that cash because 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.799 I didn't go kershaw, so I stacked him with Adam 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.280 eating It looked real good. My boy. Benny Riccardi from 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.520 DFS lineup lock that you may be here and if 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.960 you're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, he also 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.680 reinforced that that was the move. Hopefully you listen to 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.160 your voice feeds the spitting statistician. Also, I know he 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.040 wasn't on the slate last night because you know, the 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.560 game popped off before I come on the air here 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.760 seven to eight pm here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.320 And of course you could always downloaded afterwards get by 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.280 getting the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. But if you're 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.159 listening live, you could have called in and you would 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.120 have heard me also say that I wanted to see 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.960 what Dallas Kaikl did against the Cleveland Indians, and he 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.400 passed that test. I'm telling you he went another complete 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.040 game striking out five, giving up only two. He's now 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.000 four and oh with one point to to e r A. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.000 He has looked good. Good thing these teams are going 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.160 well because if you remember my season preview, I had 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:32.320 the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals in the World 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.200 Series this year. So I was I thought the Astros 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.520 needed to, you know, pick up some pitching. Looks like 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.760 Dallas Kaikel in a return to his side, Young form 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.880 could do just fine. Now if only Carlos Korea would 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.440 get his act in gear. So let's talk about tonight. Though, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.839 let's talk about tonight. I don't think there's a ton 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.400 of options today. I'm scared off by some people. I'm 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.440 scared off by Severino in Fenway. I'm scared off even 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.840 by James Paxton, who you know, we saw a little 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.279 chink in the Army armor last time out for the 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.200 first time he gave up runs. So here's who I'm on. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.400 I think there's some chalk. You know, you can't say 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.040 there's nothing wrong with going John Lester, but he's ten thousand, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.200 five hundred on fan duel. But going up against the 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.960 weak Pittsburgh Pirates lineup, Remember they don't have Stalin Marte anymore. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.120 But I don't like any pictures going on the road. Okay, 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.080 you could have col Hamiles at home against Minnesota, and 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.280 Minnesota does like to strike out, and Cole Hamiles does 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.240 have good strike up upside. But at NRED, I thought 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.880 I could go even cheaper. And so who I'm settling 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.160 on tonight in my in my cash game lineups for 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.680 eight one hundred on fan Duel. I like Dylan Bundy. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.480 I like Dylan Bundy in Tampa Bay. I like that 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.320 he's going instead of pitching in Camden Yards in Baltimore, 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.480 that he's going down to Tampa Bay, better ballpark, shift 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:48.600 and listen. Bundy has four starts, four quality starts. Okay. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.120 I think he is basically the definition of post hype sleeper. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.800 And you know how you would have known who the 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.000 post hype sleepers were if he went to Rhodo Experts 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.760 dot Com and got their exclusive edge in season Fantasy 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.240 base Ball package because it is your ultimate bench coach 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.600 for the two thousand seventeen season.

You know who's helping people win 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.520 their leagues right now, Eric James. Eric James has been 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:53.160 absolutely ridiculous. He is literally right now the number one 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.360 player in the game of fantasy baseball. And this is 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.319 a guy, if you don't know, this is a guy 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.880 who came over from the Korea Baseball Organization. Okay, had 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.680 a short stint in the Major's, previously went over to 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:09.600 Korea and then has now come back. He is right now, Okay, 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.360 right now, he is hitting three eighty with a five 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.720 hundred on base sentage slugging nine thirty. So I mean 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.720 the ops right now is one point four three oh 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.520 in seventy at bats, he already has eleven homes ninety ribbies. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.880 That would you know, pace out to something like what five? 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.440 He's clearly not gonna do that. But this guy had 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.200 a season in Korea. This guy is literally known in 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.800 Korea as God when he played for the NC Dinos 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.240 in a in a town called chang Wong. Okay, this 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.600 guy in Korea was in like comic books with Barry 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.120 Bonds inside of here. Oh people like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.000 And here's the funny part. I read something today which 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:58.320 drew a parallel between Thames and Cecil Fielder. Both of 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.520 them had short stints in the majors and then went 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.240 abroad over to Asia and then came back and you know, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.360 maybe became bona fide All stars. Okay, and and and 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.520 it was interesting because something they credited, you know, was 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.720 the fact that it helped them learn plate discipline for 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.680 a number of reasons. One is because out there in 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.080 Japan and Korea that the pitchers have more breaking stuff, 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.880 and that there's a smaller strike zone and and in 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.240 cecil field when he came back, he changed his walk rate. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.760 He his walk rate went up from eight percent to 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.560 twelve percent when he came back. That he had that discipline, 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:40.200 and I think that's really interesting. Okay, um Fames had 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.200 even a slow start in spring training. The other part 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.160 is that it when you go out there, you have 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.560 the opportunity to maybe become an everyday player as opposed 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.960 to maybe toiling as a part time or platoon player 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.040 here in the majors. And when you're a platoon player 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.440 in the majors and you only get you know, one 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.480 or two games a week, four at bats, you put 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.280 that much pressure on all of those at bats as 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.640 opposed to, you know, really trying to learn and develop. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.240 This is the case of um a guy pretty much 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.360 like going to somewhere else to like bet on himself 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.719 and know that he can refine his game and then 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.120 come back. And I really think it's an interesting path. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.720 Thames not only is out there proving that he can 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.320 come back and be, you know, an all star caliber guy, 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.840 I think he's also proving that this is a legitimate 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:32.199 route for young players. They don't have to say if 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.520 they're on the fringe toil and triple A. Maybe they 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.200 do try and go somewhere else where they could reflect 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.160 understand their game. You know. Another point that was made 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.920 was that the pictures in Japan or Korea, it's a 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.200 sense of pride for them to not let the Americans 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.600 beat them, so they pitch harder around these imports, you know, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.719 maybe pitch around them all the more reason that it 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.280 would teach plate discipline. I think this is interesting. I 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.600 think this could be real. Okay, so obviously we talked 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.760 sometimes here on the Fantasy Freestyle about diamonds in the 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.000 rough and fool gazzy Eric James not a fool gazey, 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.800 but largely due to his time in Korea. And I 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.040 think it's very interesting, also potentially illuminating a path. Remember 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.080 Brandon Jennings and basketball, instead of going to college, went 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.800 to Europe to season his game and then come back. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.760 I think it's very interesting, and I wanted to make 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.400 that point, even though he did leave today with a 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.000 little tightness in the hamstring. You know how it always goes. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.480 That's what Thomas Low would say. We come back, We're 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.200 gonna focus on the NFL draft. Donnie Burns, I'm so 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.360 excited about this. I know you're thinking about it. Also, 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.640 who people are gonna pick, big risks, all that good stuff. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.440 Come on back Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.520 We'll talk all about that, profiling the wide receivers specifically. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.840 All right, does your team need one? Let's find out. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:13:02.800 Come on back. You know what it is. It's boyd 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.000 Dame Martinez. You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.000 on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. If you want to 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.240 get at me about the NFL Draft, you canon eight 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.640 four eight four three six eight seven nine. Also tomorrow 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.079 on the show, I'm gonna be joined by my man, 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.800 the Fantasy executive, Corey Parson, and we're gonna be right 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.080 ahead of the draft. We're gonna be breaking down, you know, uh, 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.000 the latest moves. I hear that some teams are looking 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.880 to trade, you know I've been talking about for the 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.439 last week. You hear a lot of smoke screens at 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.880 this point of you know, the year, nobody wants to 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.880 show their cards. Like for example, I'm here in Tampa 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.680 Bay the Bucks maybe trying to trade down from the 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.400 nineteen overall spot. I'm here in the Tennessee Titans maybe 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.400 looking to trade down from the number five spot. Remember 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.480 they have the number eighteen as well. The eighteen is 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.480 really there is they have the number five from that 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.480 trade they made last year with the UH. I believe 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.280 it was the St. Louis Rams right when they moved 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.959 up to get Jared Goff and a lot of other things. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:02.720 We're also here, and remember we've been talking about what 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.800 the Cleveland Browns are gonna do. A lot of people 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.600 think it's gonna be Miles Garrett. Now there's some energy 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.800 building around will it be the quarterback Mitch Trabinsky, Mitchell Trabinsky, 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.640 excuse me, don't call me Mitch out of the North 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.959 Carolina tar Heels. But also now we're hearing that, hey, 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.400 if they miss out on Mitchell, they'd be okay with 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.760 Cal quarterback Davis Webb in the mid round. He was 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.720 not one of the quarterbacks I profiled when I gave 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.520 you all those quarterbacks yesterday, but yet another one of 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.520 those guys that could be going in the mid to 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.520 late rounds this weekend. As you already heard, Marshawn Lynch 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.160 and that deal is official. It is a two year, 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.000 nine million dollar deal with a chance with incentives to 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:42.920 get all the way up to sixteen and a half million, 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.840 and of course other running back news, Adrian Peterson with 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.440 the Saints. Big shout out first of all to my 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.960 boy Rocks. You may remember Rocks from the Fantasy Freestyle 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.640 was my co host for a little while um I talked. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.960 He is a Saints fan, so I texted him yesterday 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.280 about this, Donnie Burns, and I was like, yo, Drian 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:04.280 Peterson to the Saints and Rox's response was, oh, man, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.680 Peterson is way too old to learn how to play 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.960 cornerback for us. So you know, I mean, that's where 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.240 the Saints fans are thinking that obviously offense is not 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.000 the issue that they need to look defense, and that's 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.320 probably will where they will go with I believe the 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.960 eleven and the thirty second overall pick. Remember they traded 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.840 uh Brandon Cooks to the New England Patriots to get 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.240 more draft capital earlier on in the draft. Donnie. Yes, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.240 So there's another good thing about this Adrian Peterson signing, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.600 and that's it. In fantasy relevance, you can pretty much 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.920 kill two birds with one stone and not have to 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.160 worry about Ingram or Peterson. Yeah, because that's a little 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.240 bit of a message. I agree for me, at least 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.160 I agree and enough enough thing to be honest, I 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.360 could think the same thing about Marshall and Lynch. Remember 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.320 in Oakland they were part of a three headed monster 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:52.360 with Ottavia's Market and Rochard and Washington Okay, And they 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.040 wanted Ottavia Murray to be that kind of banger in 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.400 between the tackles. Now Marshawn Lynch is doing exactly that. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.320 But will he get touchdowns? Probably? But will he get 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.320 a ton of yards? I don't know, because I think 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.960 they're gonna really split time and Donny. That brings me 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.920 to our poll question. Our poll question is who will 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.600 have a better year we will be more productive? Will 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.600 it be Adrian Peterson with the Saints, will it be 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.080 Marshawn Lynch with the Raiders or do you think both 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.000 of them will have good years or will both of 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.160 them kind of not really work out? We have that 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.760 poll question up. Over a hundred people already have voted. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.040 Of you say that Marshawn Lynch will have the better season, 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.960 of you say that it will not work out at 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.560 all for either one of them, six percent of you 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.280 say both of them will be good and ten percent, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.440 say Adrian Peterson. I agree with the Marshawn Lynch also 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.760 because he's gonna be behind a great offensive line. Remember 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.360 we talked about that Raiders offensive line all season long. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.200 Other things I'm hearing Sammy coachs wide receiver for the 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.800 Pittsburgh Steelers is quote unquote unnoticed. Remember I told you 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.800 Martavis Bryant was reinstated after four hundred days of being 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.520 suspended by the NFL, And now you think about that. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.359 Obviously you haven't Tonio Brown, but now with uh Bryant 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.639 there you also have Eli Rodgers who emerged and Darius 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.359 Heywood Bay that put Sammy Coades maybe five or six 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.240 on the depth chart around there with guys like Kobe 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:16.119 Hamilton's trying to make the team. The other question I 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:17.840 have up on the poll, and Don, this is amazing. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.600 We have never had this on the Fantasy Freestyle before. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:22.200 You ready for this. I don't know if you could 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.520 see what I'm about to say. Do you know what 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.280 I'm about to say? Done? I don't okay. The other 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.720 poll question that I have up right now, check it out, Don, 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.159 and you're gonna see what I'm about to say. I 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:32.919 asked people out there, what moves do you want their 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:34.960 team to make in the NFL draft? This we can 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.159 you know, people talking about trading up, trading down, you 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.640 know all this stuff. You know, people also talking about 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.960 trading for players. Remember we talked about Malcolm Butler, Richard 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.840 Sherman out there for the Jets, Sheldon Richardson. You know, 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.960 we've heard a lot of talk Jordan Matthews maybe on 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.760 the move around draft time. And I asked people out there, 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.800 what do we want their team do? Welltent say nothing, 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:58.280 just stan pad and maker picks, you know, say trade down, 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.639 and eleven percent say trade it up. So if you 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.280 know math, you know that already adds up to a hundred. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.840 So right now, the option to try to trade for players, 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.400 for the first time ever in a poll, it has 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.000 zero percent of the vote, And right now we have 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.760 about seventies seventy votes on that one. Donnie, I mean, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.119 maybe that's not your preference, but a little shocking to 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:23.159 have zero percent. We've been a while and it's not 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.800 like this only has like four votes. You know, this 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.080 right now has seventy two votes, I see, but zero 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.840 for trying to trade players. And people like Malcolm Butler 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.160 Richard Sherman. Those are some of the kind of names 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.679 that came out there. Those are proven commodities. Okay, Like 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.280 if I could have if I gave up a third 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.159 round pick to get someone like Malcolm Butler, you know, 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.800 or South Sheldon Richardson, whereas what I knew was a 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.280 solid player. You never know what the hit rates are 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.000 on some of these guys, But I digress. We'll be 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.640 tracking that throughout the show. What I want to do, Donnie, 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.479 because I want to get into the wide receivers. I've 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.480 been going position by position and we're gonna be talking 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.920 about this with Corey tomorrow on the Fantasy Freestyle. But listen, 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.399 we talked about the running back and I'm gonna make 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.080 my ice hockey analogy that old Nintendo game with with 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.800 Corey parts in the Fantasy Executive tomorrow. Remember the big, 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.479 the medium, and the small little guys as it relates 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.440 in my opinion to Leonard four Net, Christian McCaffrey, and 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:18.280 Dalvin Cook. I talked yesterday about quarterbacks and what it 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.639 really came down to for me, where things like leading 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.159 of men, communication and why some of these guys that's 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.359 why I don't like Mitchell Trabinski. My issue with to 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.040 Shawn Watson is the communication, the verbage, being able to 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.359 actually um communicate the play. Never really had to do 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.800 that in the spread out there in Clemson. Today, we're 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.840 gonna talk wide receivers, and it's the same kind of thing, Okay, 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.719 different strokes for different folks. There are different kinds of receivers. 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.640 And there's probably three wideouts. I'm gonna give you three 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.680 wide outs that I think is gonna hear their names 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.960 tomorrow in the first round, and they all do different things, Donnie, 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.040 and you know, we're gonna talk about these kind of 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.600 type cast kind of receivers. So the first one I 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.080 want to talk about is Mike Williams. Mike Williams coming 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.240 out of Clemson was DeShawn Watts, his boy. This guy 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.879 is what we call the ex wide receiver, big outside 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.000 wide receiver. Okay, done. Think about guys like Alshon Jeffrey, 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.400 thinking about Brandon Marshall, think about those six ft three, 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.000 big bodied wide receivers that you like in the red 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:17.360 zone that can kind of almost box out right. That's 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.440
