Speaker 1: It's your boy Rocks, a k a young fist full
Speaker 1: of rings, Me and Speeds, the Smitting Statistician are here
Speaker 1: this week to give you what you need to win
Speaker 1: your league and win that cat. I want winners. I
Speaker 1: want people that want to win. Fantasy Freestyle and Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. You got rocks, you got speeds. You
Speaker 1: can catch us on the Twitter. Yo that can catch
Speaker 1: us on Twitter at Fantasy Freestyle. No. We we make
Speaker 1: no errors on the Fantasy Freestyle. You can also just
Speaker 1: subscribe to us on ice wues yos. You can catch
Speaker 1: it every week when we bring you that fire. We
Speaker 1: moved to these running backs, you know, and and it's
Speaker 1: been it's been hit or missed. For real, There's been
Speaker 1: a lot of running backs that you might have drafted
Speaker 1: really high up in your league that have not panned out.
Speaker 1: You know, Guys like Todd Gurley almost the reason why
Speaker 1: we tell people to go wide receiver. It's like it's
Speaker 1: it's like we were saying that there's no real workhorse backs.
Speaker 1: But Lamar Miller fits into that as well. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm really interested about like Alfred Blue got a bunch
Speaker 1: of touches that last game. I thought they were gonna
Speaker 1: be running him a lot of No that was you know,
Speaker 1: that was really unfortunate for Lamar Miller owners to see
Speaker 1: Alfred Flutle mean and he mainly got the garbage time
Speaker 1: touches when the game was well at a hand workload, however,
Speaker 1: is the one thing that you do not have to
Speaker 1: be concerned about with Lamar Miller. You heard Hill O'Brien
Speaker 1: give him at at a confidence. The big difference I
Speaker 1: think from last year and this year is how bad
Speaker 1: the Houston line has looked. You know, everyone was saying
Speaker 1: that one of the reasons that Mark Miller was going
Speaker 1: to be great this year because he was moving from
Speaker 1: a terrible line in Miami to a good, solid line
Speaker 1: in Houston. They've dealt with a lot of injuries. They
Speaker 1: have not held up their end of the bargain. That said,
Speaker 1: I do think that Lamar Miller is one of the
Speaker 1: backs that has the ability to join that next tier,
Speaker 1: the next the top tier of Ezekiel Elliott, Levian Bell,
Speaker 1: David Johnson. So outside of those guys, right outside of
Speaker 1: those guys who you know a lot, the loaded RB ones,
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, David Johnson. Now that Leban Bell is back
Speaker 1: and better than ever, Joe, I'm telling you eleven targets
Speaker 1: last week. I love it. Targets last week, or those
Speaker 1: backs that are settling in maybe to the back half
Speaker 1: of your RB one rankings moving forward, now that we've
Speaker 1: seen five weeks play rock Well, he's speaking the targets.
Speaker 1: One of the guys that I want to highlight as
Speaker 1: far as that's concerned is mark Ingram on the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Part of what gave him so much value
Speaker 1: last year before he went down with injury was how
Speaker 1: he was being used the lot as a receiver out
Speaker 1: of the backfield, which was not something you saw early
Speaker 1: in his career. That was not happening early in the season. However,
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, re says looked to him a
Speaker 1: lot more in the screen game. Another thing that I
Speaker 1: don't expect to happen that much going forward is him
Speaker 1: being vultured at the goal line by John Kun. Kun
Speaker 1: will probably see a couple more charies. Saints love to
Speaker 1: do that inside handoff when everyone in the world knows
Speaker 1: it's coming. But I do think that the receiving work,
Speaker 1: the goal line work, is going to really help mark
Speaker 1: Ingram improved on his RB eleven and points per game
Speaker 1: and put him solidly in the top eight for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. And I think he's a great, great,
Speaker 1: great bet in that scene, well, in that that that
Speaker 1: same tier. You know, I really like the switch over
Speaker 1: from from your boy Blame Gaverette to my boy Colin Kaepernick,
Speaker 1: and I think that that's gonna help Carlos Hide see
Speaker 1: a little bit more holes that he's been averaging nineteen
Speaker 1: points a game already in PPR. That's largely on the
Speaker 1: back of six rushing scores. But Kaepernick is actually a
Speaker 1: dual threat, unlike the fig Alex Smith dual threat that
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert had going on. And I think Kaepernick could
Speaker 1: help open up some more lanes for Carlos Hide. I
Speaker 1: get some of those bigger running place. You know. The
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly offense is predictable, but Hide has been seeing
Speaker 1: a ton of volume and he's actually been somewhat involved
Speaker 1: in the passing game about two and a half catches
Speaker 1: a game, so he's holding value a rare running back
Speaker 1: to hold value on a bad team. And I think
Speaker 1: you still stay in RB one rest of the season. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I'm a little bit lower on Carlos Hide.
Speaker 1: So let me throw out some of these names as
Speaker 1: you would find out where you stand on them as
Speaker 1: it relates to Carlos Hi. Would you trade me Carlos
Speaker 1: Hide one one for one for Isaiah Coel Would I
Speaker 1: trade you Hide for him? Yeah? Okay, see, I like
Speaker 1: Isaiah Cola a little bit better. Would you trade me
Speaker 1: Carlos hide for Tevin Coleman. That's a tough one to bease.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one Tevin Coleman. Well, what I will
Speaker 1: give Tevin Coleman is that he's been a lot more
Speaker 1: explosive he's been used in the passing game, but he's
Speaker 1: still firmly the one B to DeVonta Freeman's one A.
Speaker 1: All right, how about how about Meldon Gordon? I think
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is a bit of a mirage. I also
Speaker 1: think that him putting the ball on the ground, even
Speaker 1: though that there's not a lot behind him, is going
Speaker 1: to really keep the team passing in the red zone
Speaker 1: rather than trusting him because he's ands He's made a
Speaker 1: lot of bone head plays late in the game. And
Speaker 1: that's a team that is we've talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: is coming up with a new way to lose every week.
Speaker 1: And if if I'm you know, if I'm that defense,
Speaker 1: if I'm the rest of that offense, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to see Melvin Gordon touching the ball with with
Speaker 1: you know late in the game, that's true. I got
Speaker 1: one more for your rocks here, testing your Carlos high veracity.
Speaker 1: We go to Seattle after there by Christian Michael. He's
Speaker 1: been looking good. There's no sign of a cannon, those
Speaker 1: sign of roles anywhere. Who would you rather happen that
Speaker 1: kind of trade offer. That's a pretty tough one, speeds,
Speaker 1: and so you got him right around Christian Michael, right around.
Speaker 1: I got him right around there, Coleman area. I really
Speaker 1: want to see. I really want to see how he
Speaker 1: looks with Kaepernick under center. But I do think that
Speaker 1: based on volume. You know, Sean Drones is really just
Speaker 1: a passing game back, and they've proven that they're willing
Speaker 1: to give the ball to hide enough to make him
Speaker 1: a volume play. And he's also looked explosive at times,
Speaker 1: and he's getting the ball at the goal line. Those
Speaker 1: are all things we really like from a fantasy perspective.
Speaker 1: And knowing that Chip Kelly wants to run the ball
Speaker 1: and wants to run those plays, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 1: One other running back we would be even missed if
Speaker 1: we did not mention is Shady McCoy. I put him
Speaker 1: now in my top he's potentially the top three going forward.
Speaker 1: Here's why that offense has committed to him. Anthony Lynn,
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator, was the former running backs coach,
Speaker 1: and those are three and oh since they made that
Speaker 1: change that everybody, including us on the Fantasy Freestyle, but
Speaker 1: was a move based out of nepotism. In fact, they're
Speaker 1: three and oh. And listen, Shady McCoy fourth in the
Speaker 1: NFL with four hundred forty seven yards five point three
Speaker 1: yards a carry. That is doing big things, especially when
Speaker 1: you have eighty five carries so far in the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's averaging over a hundred cotal yards a game. He's
Speaker 1: got four touchdowns. And you know, Buffalo has that running
Speaker 1: back playbook that's essentially war in peace. You know, it's
Speaker 1: the biggest playbook in history, and McCoy has been the
Speaker 1: beneficiary of that. And you're seeing what he can do
Speaker 1: when he's fully healthy and he does not have to
Speaker 1: deal with Carlos Williams vulturing all of his touchdowns, no doubt,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Let's keep me moving. Interestingly enough, you mentioned Rocks.
Speaker 1: You mentioned that here on the Fantasy Freestyle, and we
Speaker 1: bring it to you, Rocks and Spies, all the times
Speaker 1: you can win your league and win that cats, and
Speaker 1: we're doing so here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Um,
Speaker 1: we've been recommended. We recommended all season long. And that's
Speaker 1: the reason what we talk about why we went whiteouts right,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people went real heavy on whiteouts.
Speaker 1: But as as we get to you know, week six,
Speaker 1: some things are normalizing. Some things that I've been saying
Speaker 1: for a while have become a true some things have
Speaker 1: popped off. Um, which kind of whiteouts rocks? Would you say?
Speaker 1: You know that people are high on that, maybe it's
Speaker 1: just time to move on from and accept that it's
Speaker 1: not their year. Yeah, I mean, you know, every offseason
Speaker 1: and Hope springs eternal, you get all these puff pieces guys,
Speaker 1: you know, working on routes with the quarterback and showing
Speaker 1: up in the best shape of everybody's in the best
Speaker 1: shape of their lives in August. Um, you know, one
Speaker 1: of the guys that we talked about and I was
Speaker 1: really really high on, foolishly was was Devin Funches. He
Speaker 1: was the true offseason all star. Kelvin Benjamin was supposedly
Speaker 1: out of shape and gonna be on some sort of rotation.
Speaker 1: Devin Funches is just not part of the game plan.
Speaker 1: He's got thirteen targets so far this season. I think
Speaker 1: he is completely safe to drop right now. In any
Speaker 1: format other than a keeper league or a dynasty league,
Speaker 1: because unless Kelvin Benjamin excuse me, unless Calvin Benjamin gets hurt,
Speaker 1: Funches is just not going to be seeing them. This
Speaker 1: is all greg Olsen, man. Do you see what Greg
Speaker 1: Olsen did well? Him? And you know him and him
Speaker 1: and Derek, him and Derek Anderson maybe like know each
Speaker 1: other from back in the day. You know, they got
Speaker 1: they got that. You know now that now that the
Speaker 1: regular season is on. You know you heard Camp talking
Speaker 1: Funches up all all off season about how he's going
Speaker 1: to be involved in Now he's just somebody that he
Speaker 1: used to know who I know, you got at the
Speaker 1: wine you want to talk about? That is completely sliding
Speaker 1: even down the depth chart in Arizona, I think might
Speaker 1: be down the white out for Michael Floyd. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting Geron Brown, uh not John Smoky
Speaker 1: Brown has actually been pushing him for snaps and you know,
Speaker 1: one of the things that's kind of interesting here, Carson
Speaker 1: Palmer's playing a lot worse than he did last year.
Speaker 1: But there have been whispers out of Arizona, including from
Speaker 1: their coach, that Floyd is really really pressing because he's
Speaker 1: in a contract here. Hello, you play to win the gad,
Speaker 1: you don't play to chi play it. He's dropping balls,
Speaker 1: he looks inefficient, He's run the wrong way and a
Speaker 1: couple of routes leading to Palmer interceptions and been shoot
Speaker 1: out for it. You know, I think you need to
Speaker 1: hold him for one week because the Jets defense secondary,
Speaker 1: they're really good for what ails you in terms of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and especially going over the top where they like
Speaker 1: to go deep. Bruce Arian's offense likes to go deep.
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd's vertical passing. It's a virtual passing game. But
Speaker 1: what I will say also is that the one reason
Speaker 1: I would be somewhat hesitant to drop Floyd's because last year,
Speaker 1: when he was slow to come back for those lacerated
Speaker 1: dislocated fingers, he really popped hard over the second half
Speaker 1: of the season and was a difference maker for a
Speaker 1: lot of people. So Michael Floyd is a guy, unlike Punches,
Speaker 1: who has a track record and is more likely to
Speaker 1: be scooped up if you do make that move. Give
Speaker 1: him a week. See how the snap cool shakes out
Speaker 1: some patients. But he's right on the borderline. He's he's
Speaker 1: the last guy on my roster. If I got him
Speaker 1: on my team, I got you, I got you and
Speaker 1: yo uh. The fans of the Fantasy Freestyle, they know
Speaker 1: that at this point, what we're only we're only twelve
Speaker 1: minutes in and we're bringing you that he It's also
Speaker 1: we're only twelve minutes in, and it's my first mention
Speaker 1: of Jim Bob Cooder because you know that Detroit Lines
Speaker 1: that are you gotta light out? You want to talk
Speaker 1: about that. Also, it's time to move away from But
Speaker 1: like I said, like I said, the entire time, the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lines are gonna be enjoying the fact that they're
Speaker 1: spreading the targets around because of no Megatron, and we're
Speaker 1: getting you know an con Molden, Eric Dron, Theo Riddick,
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, but not so much Golden Tap no man.
Speaker 1: He was supposed to be the one beat of Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones one A and even a lot of people took
Speaker 1: that with a grain assault, saying maybe that's coach speak
Speaker 1: because Golden Tate had already developed such a great rapport
Speaker 1: with with Matthew Stafford. Golden Tate doesn't have a good
Speaker 1: rapport with any of his teammates. You know, Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: he knows what's up. Yeah, I mean I got a
Speaker 1: side with Golden Tate on that, just because I do
Speaker 1: not like Russell Wilson um. But yeah, it's just the
Speaker 1: Golden Tate benefiting from Megatron not being there has not happen.
Speaker 1: He's only seeing six targets a game and that's resulting
Speaker 1: so far in an average of forty one scoreless yards.
Speaker 1: And Stafford has also been spreading the ball around, as
Speaker 1: you said, but even with Ebron out, Golden Tate has
Speaker 1: not proven to really be doing much at all with
Speaker 1: his targets, and he's not been very efficient. He's only
Speaker 1: caught seventeen a thirty one. He's not getting it done.
Speaker 1: And he's also just someone who is, you know, not
Speaker 1: having that yak that he was known for not making
Speaker 1: things happen. So, you know, I think you can really
Speaker 1: get get rid of him and look for a higher
Speaker 1: upside player because he's just not really showing it this year,
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. And while we are talking about
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions are mail bag question rocks Uh this
Speaker 1: week comes from the Great State of Michigan. It is
Speaker 1: Matt from up there in Saginaw, Michigan. He asked also
Speaker 1: on this threat about wide receivers that he wants to
Speaker 1: cut date on um he is a little worried about
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, even though Tom Brady is back, is seeing
Speaker 1: the offense go through the tight ends and the running bracks.
Speaker 1: He's in a ten teams standard league and is wondering
Speaker 1: in a place where you do not get points per reception,
Speaker 1: what are you thinking about with only ten teams, What
Speaker 1: are you thinking about Julian Edelman as it relates to
Speaker 1: your roster spots? You know, uh, certainly, he's clearly more
Speaker 1: valuable in PPR leagues. What I will say, though, is
Speaker 1: there was only one game back with Tom Brady and
Speaker 1: Edelman was pretty solid. I think he had about seventy
Speaker 1: seventy five yards his first two games when when Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garops was under center. I think that he's gonna explode
Speaker 1: one of these weeks. He's a guy who's proven he
Speaker 1: can be a thousand yard a year wide receiver and
Speaker 1: that plays in any format. I also think, you know,
Speaker 1: he's being held weighed down by the fact that he
Speaker 1: hasn't scored a touchdown yet. This is a high octane
Speaker 1: Patriots offense, it can be kind of difficult to predict
Speaker 1: who's gonna see the most targets in any given week.
Speaker 1: But I do think despite the emergence of Michael Bennett,
Speaker 1: that despite the emergence of Martellis Bennett, Michael Mike Michael
Speaker 1: Bennett been emerged. Uh, I think that you're gonna really
Speaker 1: see Edelman settled back into his familiar role as Tom
Speaker 1: Brady's second favorite target behind Gronk. And I think that
Speaker 1: dropping him would be relatively shortsighted because even in a
Speaker 1: ten team non PPR league and an explosive offense, you're
Speaker 1: gonna watch him get scooped up and you will definitely
Speaker 1: watch him have some big weeks moving forward. Uh, no doubt,
Speaker 1: No doubt. Hey, Matt, I I also have some of
Speaker 1: the nervousness that you do up there in Michigan and
Speaker 1: Yupie Land, um, because I do think a couple of things.
Speaker 1: One day, they really like going through the tight end.
Speaker 1: This is how Bill Belichick is staying one step ahead
Speaker 1: of defenses by trying to exploit the middle of the field. Um.
Speaker 1: The other thing, and this is something that for some
Speaker 1: reason I haven't heard a lot of people talking about, um,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was never a quarterback with the strongest arm.
Speaker 1: And Tom Brady is what thirty eight, thirty nine years old,
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old? Tom? Alright? I mean like Tom
Speaker 1: your thirty, I would be interested, happy thirty that this
Speaker 1: is also in relationship, being able to try to save
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and lengthen his career. They are not designed
Speaker 1: to go to the outside anymore. I know Edelman is
Speaker 1: inside during his two way goals, but that medal is
Speaker 1: real clouded these days with the black unicorn. I agree
Speaker 1: with what I think is the tone of your email,
Speaker 1: mat And Um, I'd be nervous. I wouldn't. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be starting him week a week. He's not a must start.
Speaker 1: I keep him on my roster, but he's not a
Speaker 1: must start. From one other wide receiver position. I want
Speaker 1: to put it forth is the New York Giants, the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. You know, I think if Sterling Shepherd
Speaker 1: chef I call sheef, you call him, was a big
Speaker 1: was a big name. Victor Cruz. You know Victor Cruse
Speaker 1: is healthy. Um, this Ben McAdoo offense has not looked
Speaker 1: that great two offense or is it Eli Manning running
Speaker 1: the off Eli Manning his quarterback twenty four after five
Speaker 1: weeks of play. And what you have if you're a
Speaker 1: receiver like shef is you have a receiver on the
Speaker 1: other side and Goldell who has been popping off and
Speaker 1: now is getting all the attention. And now the offense
Speaker 1: feels like they have to feed oh Del the ball
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean good things. If you are Sterling Shepherd,
Speaker 1: you know, let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know, check
Speaker 1: this out, Rocks after that big holdout. You know for
Speaker 1: so long we saw last week Joey Bosa and he
Speaker 1: had two sacks in his first game. We want to
Speaker 1: tip our cap or do we still like feel like
Speaker 1: he uh, he took a little punk route getting that money.
Speaker 1: I think that the San Diego Superchargers were the ones
Speaker 1: who are punks in that situation. Know, it seemed like
Speaker 1: Boss team was reasonable. And you know, again, if you
Speaker 1: don't spend the third overall pick on a guy when
Speaker 1: your defense is in clear need of help, and then
Speaker 1: you know, try and play hardball and nitpick him, and
Speaker 1: you saw exactly what they were missing. Last week. That
Speaker 1: defense I think is still definitely going to be one
Speaker 1: to attack moving forward, particularly with the injuries in their secondary.
Speaker 1: But he gives them a real pass rush up front.
Speaker 1: And also just it's a team playing for the future.
Speaker 1: You want to know what you have and I think
Speaker 1: they've got something with him. All right, We'll see how
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa does for the rest of the season. When
Speaker 1: we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, We're gonna go
Speaker 1: game by game, and in a lot of the games
Speaker 1: here in week six, we're gonna give you who to sid,
Speaker 1: who to start, who does that value in DFS. Who
Speaker 1: you may need to try to snowball and low ball
Speaker 1: other owners in your league to make these moves to
Speaker 1: help you win your league and win that cash. Rocks
Speaker 1: and Skis Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: We're gonna pay some bills. Will be back right after this.
Speaker 1: I would rather play with ten people and just get
Speaker 1: penalized all the way until we got to do something else,
Speaker 1: rather than play with the leaven when I know that
Speaker 1: right now that person is not sold out to be
Speaker 1: a part of this team. You know what it is.
Speaker 1: Rocks and Speeds back at you with the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what,
Speaker 1: that's not true. It's not only on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. You can get us on that Stitcher, on
Speaker 1: that Google Play, on the iTunes, subscribe to us on Highuls,
Speaker 1: Rocks and Speeds holding you down so you can win
Speaker 1: your league and win that cash. And we're gonna do
Speaker 1: right now in the Fantasy Freestyles. We're gonna dive into
Speaker 1: some of these week week six games. Let you know
Speaker 1: who to sit, who start, who trade, who sit, who
Speaker 1: the values are so you can win that league and
Speaker 1: win that cash. Like I said, the first game you
Speaker 1: want to get into with the Bengals and the Patriots
Speaker 1: where the Bengals go to Gillette Stadi and the Patriots
Speaker 1: are eight and a half point favorites. Rocks. Uh, the
Speaker 1: Angry Brady Tour continue, Yeah, man, You know, speaking of
Speaker 1: diving in, Tom Brady basically did a big cannon ball
Speaker 1: in his return to the NFL. Splash play after splash play,
Speaker 1: you saw moronk looking like he was. You saw Bennett
Speaker 1: in the in the red zone. And I think that
Speaker 1: this is a game where you know the spread has
Speaker 1: got it right. I think the patch should be able
Speaker 1: to lace them with ease. For Bengals fans, you know
Speaker 1: they're gonna feel deflated when they get stomped by another
Speaker 1: likely playoff team, and I think just has to leave
Speaker 1: them resigned to the fact that they are not going
Speaker 1: to be going anywhere this year. I was adamant all
Speaker 1: off season that the Patriots offense could support two te
Speaker 1: ones and it's only been one week, but it sure
Speaker 1: looked that way. And I think Bennett is a tight
Speaker 1: end one until further notice. We talked about this a
Speaker 1: little bit in the mail bag, but Edelman's targets have
Speaker 1: been a bit concerning, while Ben it's playing a big role.
Speaker 1: That said, I still like him as a wide receiver
Speaker 1: two in PPR this week. Hard to see how he's
Speaker 1: going to be involved in the red zone, but I
Speaker 1: trust Belichick will be getting him the ball, and again,
Speaker 1: this will be the angry Brady approach where they're gonna
Speaker 1: keep throwing and throwing, no doubt. On the Cincinnati side
Speaker 1: of things, Rocks, there's two or three things I want
Speaker 1: to mention here. One, it looks like this maybe the
Speaker 1: return for Tyler. If it's really tough, They definitely need
Speaker 1: him in the red zone. I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. They say they have the setback, even
Speaker 1: really they've been really hush hush about that. The other thing,
Speaker 1: I'll say, you remember, Rocks Uh, when you were on
Speaker 1: Shock Callers that I had Geo Bernard in my DFS
Speaker 1: line up. Here's the reason. I think, you know, last
Speaker 1: week they started Geo Bernard over Jeremy Hill. Jeremy Hill
Speaker 1: still getting over that shoulder injury and in you know,
Speaker 1: in something that we would usually call the game flow genius.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna be doing that later on in this episode,
Speaker 1: you know, as you probably thought too, you know, angry
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, they're gonna be up, and that means the
Speaker 1: Bengals are gonna be down and needing that pass catcher
Speaker 1: back in there. I like Giovanni Bernard a lot this
Speaker 1: week for the Cincinnati Bengals, and I would fade Jeremy Hill,
Speaker 1: but I'll probably talk about that a little bit later on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you that Geo is probably
Speaker 1: likely to see a bigger role in the passing name,
Speaker 1: but he's really only popped for one week this season,
Speaker 1: you know, seeing a ton of work in garbage time,
Speaker 1: and I think there will be garbage time. But I
Speaker 1: actually like Jeremy Hill as a potential by Low. The
Speaker 1: entire team has looked at a sorts in the ren zone,
Speaker 1: but he is still their best option down there. Jeo
Speaker 1: Bernard is allergic to the end zone, and I actually
Speaker 1: think that Jeremy Hill is, you know, while he gets
Speaker 1: back to full health, he was practicing in full if
Speaker 1: not this week, going to be the back in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: to own moving forward, and I think he's a decent
Speaker 1: by Low candidate. Really, you know, I'm no. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: I was gonna save this for a little bit later
Speaker 1: on when we did our diamonds and food gas. He's
Speaker 1: forget about it, but it sounds like we may have
Speaker 1: a gentleman's bet. Heyo, Rock, So are you talking about
Speaker 1: like this week or moving forward? What are we talking about?
Speaker 1: I like, I like Geo, but Hard much better than
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill, both for week six and moving forward. Let's
Speaker 1: focus on moving forward, and we're talking about PPR leagues here,
Speaker 1: a PPR league. I think Giovanni Bernard is the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: back to home. Okay, let's we'll get back to you
Speaker 1: guys in in ten or so weeks as a gentleman's bed.
Speaker 1: Hold us, hold us accountable, keep us ones, make us remember,
Speaker 1: because so much happens every week. But Joe, this is
Speaker 1: Rocks young fist full of rings telling you Jeremy Hill
Speaker 1: represents a good bill and will be more valuable than
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard. All Right, no doubt, we'll see. We'll check
Speaker 1: in on that gentleman's bed for sure. Another game we
Speaker 1: want to talk about, big game. I know Rox and
Speaker 1: I think this is a very intriguing matchup where you
Speaker 1: have Ezekiel Elliott. Well, first of all, a big game.
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Dallas Cowboys going to lambeau Field,
Speaker 1: which is not yet the frozen tongue, where the Packers
Speaker 1: are four and a half playing favorites. I think this
Speaker 1: is an interesting matchup. Ezekiel Elliott leading the NFL and
Speaker 1: carries ending yards coming off a fifth tune for one
Speaker 1: thirty four two touch down performance and leave the NFL
Speaker 1: with five hundred and forty six yards going against the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers rush defense which is only giving up
Speaker 1: forty two point eight yards a game that is number
Speaker 1: one in the NFL. How do you expect this great
Speaker 1: Tug Award to play out Rocks. Well, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: just I'll hold myself accountable and say I thought that
Speaker 1: Zeke was going to have some trouble last week against
Speaker 1: a Bengals defense that was a step up in class,
Speaker 1: and you heard the line he absolutely paste in them. However,
Speaker 1: this is basically the toughest test in football. Now. You know,
Speaker 1: Green Bay's rushing defense has really just been shutting teams down.
Speaker 1: I don't think that you can completely fade him, but
Speaker 1: I think you've got to temper expectations. I mean, he
Speaker 1: may he may be matchup proof. I'm not ready to
Speaker 1: declare him that yet through five games. What I will say, though,
Speaker 1: is that it's likely that Dac is going to be
Speaker 1: asked to do more, and it's looking like he's gonna
Speaker 1: have Dez Bryant back. I guess a fractured knee isn't
Speaker 1: what a fractured knee used to be. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think this could be decoy territory. Even if he
Speaker 1: does see the field, and I'm not even sure he does.
Speaker 1: You know what I will I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: Though Dac has been saying all the right things, he's
Speaker 1: also been doing all the right things. He's got seven
Speaker 1: total touchdowns only one turnover. You know he's going to
Speaker 1: be asked to pass. I think to win this game
Speaker 1: against Green Bays ranked pass defense. He's maybe getting desk
Speaker 1: back as a decoy. Maybe not. He says it's Tony
Speaker 1: Romo's team. If he lights it up against Green Bay
Speaker 1: and they win, does that change? Does that? Does that
Speaker 1: cease to be Tony Romo's team? Here's what I do.
Speaker 1: And it's really interesting because this was actually the Shock
Speaker 1: Caller's poll on Wednesday. What do you do with the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys quarterback situation? You know everyone thought it was
Speaker 1: a Bino meal choice. I actually have a different take
Speaker 1: on this. Fox. I think what they do is they
Speaker 1: shut the hell up about it, and they let Tony
Speaker 1: Romo heel and they kick the can down the road
Speaker 1: for another few weeks. You don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: this because Dallas is what Ford one. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about this if they
Speaker 1: if they in a couple of weeks, you know, if
Speaker 1: they're like seven and two going into week nine, you
Speaker 1: let it ride out. You wait until Dak starts to falter.
Speaker 1: Whenever that is whether that's in week seven, whether that's
Speaker 1: in week fifteen, and then guess what if he doesn't falter,
Speaker 1: then that means you have a championship caliber team like
Speaker 1: you did in two thousand fourteen. DeMarco Murray behind that line.
Speaker 1: I think Zeke can do the same thing. So I say, like,
Speaker 1: don't force the decision. That's my answer. Well, there's certainly
Speaker 1: no quarterback controversy at all in Green Bay. But I
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say that Aaron Rodgers has looked
Speaker 1: off this year. Outside of a one half where you
Speaker 1: completely lit up a happless Detroit lying defense, he's been very,
Speaker 1: very ordinary. You know, everyone thought that Jordy Nelson was
Speaker 1: going to come back and somehow everything would just go
Speaker 1: back to how it was in two thousand and fourteen
Speaker 1: with them just you know, slinging the ball everywhere and
Speaker 1: blowing teams out. But that has not been the case.
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson was clearly not the only thing missing from
Speaker 1: that offense. You know, what can they do? The running
Speaker 1: game is banged up. You know, Rogers has not really
Speaker 1: been getting the production you'd like to see week in
Speaker 1: and week out. Out of Randall Cobb. He did look
Speaker 1: better last week. Davante Adams has also been inconsistent. What's
Speaker 1: going on here, speeds and are they going to be
Speaker 1: able to turn it around? Here's what I'll say, Here's
Speaker 1: what I'll say, And Aaron Rodgers says this every mid October. Relax.
Speaker 1: I think this is where the Green Bay Packers actually
Speaker 1: get right. They are in the middle of a long
Speaker 1: homestand they will not have to travel again until the
Speaker 1: end of this month. We also had a Randall Cobs
Speaker 1: sighting last week nine catches for a hundred and eight
Speaker 1: yards in their last game against the New York Football Giants,
Speaker 1: and James Starks didn't look that great last weeks. Great
Speaker 1: all year man, but I think maybe if he knows
Speaker 1: he's in line to get the star not oh no,
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy is still a big man on that high
Speaker 1: ankles brain despite the P ninety X. I think this
Speaker 1: is where a rod knows he needs to shine in
Speaker 1: a very interesting game in the late window at four
Speaker 1: o'clock prime, you know prime window, four o'clock UM in
Speaker 1: that matchup, and I think he will. Another game that
Speaker 1: I really like is the Chiefs against the Raiders, and
Speaker 1: what I've already said I think is a big a
Speaker 1: f C West matchup. We're gonna talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about Jamal Charles and our diamond than our food.
Speaker 1: Gazy sament a little bit later on. Have you seen
Speaker 1: this one breaking out Rocks? Yeah. I mean the Raiders
Speaker 1: are as nice of a matchup as you can hope
Speaker 1: from a running game perspective. They're allowing four point nine
Speaker 1: yards per carry, a hundred twenty two yards the game
Speaker 1: on the ground. It'll really be interesting to see the
Speaker 1: split in this one's species. I know you're really high
Speaker 1: on Jamal Charles. I'm just as a fan of football.
Speaker 1: It's nice to see one of those premier running backs
Speaker 1: getting back there. And I think he's probably going to
Speaker 1: just you know, the biggest result is gonna He's gonna
Speaker 1: help the entire offense, give them another dimension. And one
Speaker 1: thing I would watch is that Spencer Wears put the
Speaker 1: ball in the ground a couple of times, and I
Speaker 1: think that they don't want to. They want to ease
Speaker 1: Charles back in. But if this is a closed game
Speaker 1: and where can hang onto the ball, you may be
Speaker 1: seeing more of him of Charles, and you might think
Speaker 1: you may also be seeing a little bit more of
Speaker 1: West if he is healthy and active, because you just
Speaker 1: can't have your back fumbling. That's just that's a no go. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I hear you. I also like, uh fading this Oakland
Speaker 1: past defense. I think you could be in line for
Speaker 1: the decent games out of Macklin and Kelsea. The Oakland
Speaker 1: Raider is not good against the tight end on the
Speaker 1: open side of things. I want to say, though, we
Speaker 1: don't know about Latavius Murray really just yet. But remember
Speaker 1: I've been down on Latavius Murray for a long time
Speaker 1: and even have the ranks in your top thirty backs North,
Speaker 1: should I because now I still like DeAndre Washington and
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard to split that time. Jalen is gonna see
Speaker 1: you know, they gave it. They gave DeAndre some burned
Speaker 1: last week. I think you might see Jalen taking the
Speaker 1: lead this time. Okay, that's still not Latavius Murray. I
Speaker 1: think that's the case. Let's talk about that young quarterback
Speaker 1: a little bit though. Yeah, I mean, I really like
Speaker 1: what Derek Carr has done. He's been taking a step
Speaker 1: forward basically in every season so far. But I'll also
Speaker 1: say I called the Murray Cooper last week, as when
Speaker 1: my ja floats he uses speed DFS speeds to his
Speaker 1: credit profited from that show. Did get that money to
Speaker 1: help you win that league and win that cash? As
Speaker 1: I often do, I save all my gems for the
Speaker 1: listeners and just go with some silly ideas of my
Speaker 1: own account. But I really like a Marie Cooper to
Speaker 1: have another big game this week. You know, he had
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns last week. The calls back or
Speaker 1: he didn't get his feet in mounts, it could have
Speaker 1: been a ridiculously huge game. I like him this week,
Speaker 1: even though he's going against defensive rookie of the Year
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters. It shouldn't be a touch match, a tough matchup.
Speaker 1: But when I'm hearing from my grooves who studied that film,
Speaker 1: that Cooper more than held his own and even burned
Speaker 1: Peter's a bit last year, even if it didn't show
Speaker 1: up in the stacks. Peters is one who will sell
Speaker 1: out to try and make a big play. And I
Speaker 1: think that Derek Carr is going to hit the Marii
Speaker 1: Cooper for a long touchdown on a double move, bating
Speaker 1: Peters into taking that route, trying to jump that route.
Speaker 1: I think Cooper has another solid week with a touchdown
Speaker 1: and the Raiders win this game. Alright, alright, we do
Speaker 1: know that Marcus Peters likes to guess and likes to
Speaker 1: try to jump rout and take them back of pick six.
Speaker 1: Just ask Ryan Fitzpatrick. One more game we want to
Speaker 1: talk about here on the Fantasy Freestop. Rocks and Speeds
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestop, bringing everything we need to know,
Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats. That's how we do it. On
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Heel the Atlanta Falcons trying
Speaker 1: to prove they are for real things. Just went at
Speaker 1: Denver and put up some points and now back to
Speaker 1: back have to make trips out west. They go to Seattle,
Speaker 1: like as the Seattle Seahawks fur six and a half
Speaker 1: point favorites at home coming off the bye. How do
Speaker 1: you think this one plays out? Does Atlanta make a statement?
Speaker 1: Who makes an NFC statement here in this game? Rocks
Speaker 1: coming off the by I gotta like the Seahawks in
Speaker 1: this one. I will say that Richard Sherman and Juleil
Speaker 1: we must see TV stuff. Brandon Marshall get the best
Speaker 1: of them a couple of weeks back, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Ryan got beat as we talked about by Brian Hoyer
Speaker 1: because their gentleman's bad. I do not like him at
Speaker 1: all in this one. I'm fading him very very hard
Speaker 1: off the Seahawks defense coming off by Seahawks only allowed
Speaker 1: on the hundred eighty passing yards a game. Outside of Julio,
Speaker 1: who we know is going to be locked up against
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman. Those two running backs we have done so
Speaker 1: much in the passing game will be playing against great
Speaker 1: cover linebackers, so I do not like them to blow
Speaker 1: up at all. This week. I'm taking Seattle playoffs. Don't
Speaker 1: talk about playoffs, You're kidding me. Playoffs. I just thought
Speaker 1: we canna win a game when Seattle has the ball.
Speaker 1: You know, I think you're gonna see a lot of
Speaker 1: Sea Mike in this game. You know, as we know,
Speaker 1: the Falcons defense is not an imposing unit. I think
Speaker 1: that he's going to really just continue to put a
Speaker 1: strangle hold on that job coming out of the by
Speaker 1: one other thing, and you alluded to it as well,
Speaker 1: Russ should be a lot healthier, not the ability to scrambled,
Speaker 1: because that line is still really really suspect. And I
Speaker 1: know you like Jimmy Graham. You like what he's been doing.
Speaker 1: What I also want to say those Doug Baldwin quietly
Speaker 1: getting getting done with a lot less volume. He's been
Speaker 1: a solid wide receiver to this year, and I think
Speaker 1: people viewed him. People expected, you know, the regression police
Speaker 1: with their blue uniforms and their sirens. They expected a
Speaker 1: lot more regression for Doug Baldwin than he's showed so
Speaker 1: far this year. And I think that he's a good
Speaker 1: bet to continue posting solid numbers in that Seattle offense.
Speaker 1: On the Atlanta side of things, you know we've been
Speaker 1: saying you're both rock sends feeds on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: the fade Matt Ryan. I can't believe I took Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan and the Gentleman's last week, but you know I
Speaker 1: still say fade Matt Ryan. Word is that Richard Sherman
Speaker 1: may infect Shadow Julio Jones popform this uh this week
Speaker 1: up in Seattle. That's what we do. Those are a
Speaker 1: couple of games we were on the highlight here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. When we come back, Rocks and Speeds,
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep giving you what you need to win
Speaker 1: your league and win that cash you're gonna give you.
Speaker 1: Our flags of segments are game flow geniuses, are diamonds,
Speaker 1: hard food gazes. That's how we do it on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're gonna pay some bills. We'll
Speaker 1: be back right after this. Stay with us now if
Speaker 1: you want to crown them the crown or ash. But
Speaker 1: they are who we thought they were and we got
Speaker 1: about the Oh yeah, we're back, and you know what
Speaker 1: we got. We got the flagship segments, We got the
Speaker 1: things that you're looking forward to. Sorry we made you
Speaker 1: wait this longer. We had to break down the games
Speaker 1: for you. Ayo. Going into week six, there's a couple
Speaker 1: of situations that Speeds and I are looking to exploit
Speaker 1: and guys we like a little bit better than normal
Speaker 1: based on game script and we call those our game
Speaker 1: flow geniuses. Ao, Speeds, you want to kick this segment
Speaker 1: off for sure? You know I do. Speedis spit and
Speaker 1: statistician on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. My first game
Speaker 1: flow genius four week six is Jarred is Landry. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. The minute the Miami Dolphins are
Speaker 1: not a good team. You know that the Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 1: are a good team. Yep, they're going into Miami and
Speaker 1: Big Ben and play plants Tone Yo Brown have been
Speaker 1: putting up points like whoa Ryan Tannehill and the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense is going to be in position where they
Speaker 1: are going to need to throw to try to keep up,
Speaker 1: and that means target monster Jarvis Landry is going to eat.
Speaker 1: And as you made the point last week, Rocks, the
Speaker 1: way to try to compete against that Pittsburgh defense is
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. They're seeing the least Russian attempts
Speaker 1: at least percentage rushing attempts have added any team in
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. They funneled to the passing exactly. There
Speaker 1: you go. And you know last week Jarvis Landry only
Speaker 1: had three targets, Like that's a low for like the LA,
Speaker 1: He's definitely gonna have a bounce back week. I expect
Speaker 1: ten to twelve targets for Jarvis Landry. I think you
Speaker 1: could wind up seeing him eight catches eighty yards give
Speaker 1: him a touchdown as well. This is the lowest who
Speaker 1: are ever going to see him? Only six on the
Speaker 1: fand well, uh, you may have heard Rocks was on
Speaker 1: shot Callers on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network I had
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry in my DFS lineup, put him in yours
Speaker 1: as well, mostly because they're gonna be trying to keep
Speaker 1: up with the Pittsburgh Steelers. No Hurricane this week, more
Speaker 1: targets for Jarvis Landry. He's my game flow genius. And
Speaker 1: speaking of shot callers, where you can catch my man's
Speaker 1: feeds on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network on Monday's, Wednesdays
Speaker 1: and Fridays at seven o'clock Eastern Eastern. I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: my shot and say, my game flow genius is a
Speaker 1: guy that got Mark Tressman fired. That's Terrence West. I've
Speaker 1: been talking about him a lot lately, and I was
Speaker 1: saying they have to go stick with the running game
Speaker 1: when it's working, and you know what, they did not
Speaker 1: do that last week and said they were trying to
Speaker 1: have Joe Flacco, Dink and Duncan. It just was not
Speaker 1: working in a close game. I expect Marty morning Wig
Speaker 1: to commit on West on the early down so that
Speaker 1: flat go take shots down the field, and I think
Speaker 1: that's going to open things up. The Giants running game
Speaker 1: is banged up. Allies in a bad stretch, as we've
Speaker 1: talked about, but they're still favored by three. I think
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a close game. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be within a score most of the game. And
Speaker 1: I think if I am the Ravens o C. I
Speaker 1: am sticking with the running game that I expect to
Speaker 1: work and be able to move the ball, opening things
Speaker 1: up for Flacco. I'm looking for between fifteen and twenty
Speaker 1: carries for West of this one. The Giants, as I said,
Speaker 1: they're tough on the ground, only allowing three and a
Speaker 1: half yards per carry. But West has looked surprisingly good
Speaker 1: when he's been given the ball. He's gonna get it
Speaker 1: in this one. I expect him to get by on volume.
Speaker 1: Let's call it eighty five to a hundred yards, a
Speaker 1: couple of catches and a touchdown. That's very much in
Speaker 1: play for sure. On fan Douel game flow Genius, I
Speaker 1: got another game flow genius for them here on a
Speaker 1: Fantasy freestyle. Yo, Jimmy Graham. Jimmy Graham is gonna be
Speaker 1: my game flow g use And here's why. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: he's getting healthier and healthier, you know, remove from that
Speaker 1: patella injury, and it seems like he's getting more and
Speaker 1: more comfortable in that offense, and the Seattle Seahawks are
Speaker 1: coming off a buy. This is an instant see an
Speaker 1: instance where they can, you know, figure out new schemes.
Speaker 1: And I bet those new schemes are going to involve
Speaker 1: the revy rev Jimmy Graham, superstar, Jimmy Graham coming off
Speaker 1: of a six catch, one thirteen yard outing with eight
Speaker 1: at eight targets and the Atlanta Falcons give up the
Speaker 1: second most points to the tight end position. I think
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a game where uh, Seattle is
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw because Atlanta is gonna try to throw.
Speaker 1: Then it's a good offense. They're gonna have to put
Speaker 1: up some points and down the middle of that field.
Speaker 1: I'm not scared of that Atlantic defense. I do think
Speaker 1: the Seattle Sea Yaks are gonna throw a big day
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson making a statement coming back from the
Speaker 1: injuries and the buy instead a whole ton of rosaries
Speaker 1: after the buy, and I think into that is gonna
Speaker 1: go to Jimmy Graham. He's my game flow genius. I
Speaker 1: like that species and yo, you may see Jimmy Graham
Speaker 1: changing the narrative on what it means to have a
Speaker 1: torn patel because this was supposed to be impossible to
Speaker 1: come back from. He's like the cruise came back finally.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham did it on a tight timeline, and he's
Speaker 1: looked a lot better than he did last year before.
Speaker 1: The answer rosaries that Russell Wilson was sent for him.
Speaker 1: He's praying for Jimmy um my second game flow genius
Speaker 1: and and maybe you can say I'm going with Schalk here,
Speaker 1: but the surprising number one overall fantasy running back in
Speaker 1: PPR is wait for it, DeMarco Exotic smash mouth. And
Speaker 1: regardless of what you're calling the offense, when you're playing Cleveland,
Speaker 1: when you're up by a touchdown, your favorite twin by
Speaker 1: a touchdown at home, that's beautiful game script for any
Speaker 1: running back. Cleveland is gonna either be starting an injured
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler or an injured Josh McCown. Looks like Cody
Speaker 1: Kessler has been announced that he will get to start
Speaker 1: young young Cody Kessler. Neither of them is really a
Speaker 1: solid option to keep them in the game. I think
Speaker 1: that DeMarco Murray is going to completely feast in this one.
Speaker 1: Sought the game away in the second half, and he's
Speaker 1: been averaging after seeing a little bit of a split
Speaker 1: in his workload twenty three carries a week for the
Speaker 1: last three weeks, holding off Derrick Henry, and this is
Speaker 1: a dream matchup for him to pile up yards. I
Speaker 1: like him to finish with over a hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: yards on the ground this week and not one but
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He's pretty expensive and fan duel. I think
Speaker 1: he's the RV number four or five pp rice. But
Speaker 1: if you save money elsewhere and you want to go
Speaker 1: with someone who's workload is assured, look no further than
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, your fantasy running back number one in PPR
Speaker 1: leagues through five weeks. I did not see that coming,
Speaker 1: but this week I do. As a game flow genius
Speaker 1: that exotics what I was saying, smart guy seems to
Speaker 1: be working. I like what you say, especially because I
Speaker 1: have the Tennessee Titans in one of my survivor pools
Speaker 1: home against the Cleveland Browns. Don't look now, but if
Speaker 1: they win that game, they go to three and three. Okay,
Speaker 1: and in the a f C South where on Sunday
Speaker 1: Night football, but two and three Colts play against the
Speaker 1: three and two Texans, you could find yourself. I think
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are not going to have this be
Speaker 1: a trap game. I think they're going to seize that
Speaker 1: opportunity at home with hashtag exotic smash mouth. And I
Speaker 1: like that because it is not any kind of time
Speaker 1: share like we might have fought with Derrick Henry at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. You know, Rocks, you know
Speaker 1: what time it is. Now we gotta give them our
Speaker 1: absolute flagships segment where we give them our diamonds in
Speaker 1: the rough and our fantasy food gazing forget about to
Speaker 1: get about it. What do you want to start off
Speaker 1: with this week, Rocks? If like you know, if if
Speaker 1: he was down there talking with Lefty from mole Berry Street,
Speaker 1: what would you talk to start falling? You know, normally
Speaker 1: we accentuate the positive, but in this one, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about a guy who I think is fool Gaze.
Speaker 1: And you've heard me say pretty much all year not
Speaker 1: to chase the points, because when you chase the points,
Speaker 1: that's when the points started running. And my gazey Number
Speaker 1: one this week is Sammy Coast. He had a huge
Speaker 1: game last week against the Jets. He's the clear number
Speaker 1: two and high powered Pittsburgh offense. He's leading all wide
Speaker 1: receivers in forty plus yard place. He's looking basically like
Speaker 1: what Cordorrell Patterson was supposed to mor Marteves Bryan. But
Speaker 1: what I will say is, despite all those positive superlatives,
Speaker 1: I just said, he's got a hand injury. He's playing
Speaker 1: with the cast, he's missing practice time. He's still looking
Speaker 1: likely to suit up. But even before the hand injury,
Speaker 1: he was dropping way too many passes. This was an
Speaker 1: issue last year, and he's as a reliant on big
Speaker 1: plays as any wide receiver in the league. I've seen
Speaker 1: him ranked as a wide receiver to in the Miami
Speaker 1: is not an imposing defense at all, but they're giving
Speaker 1: up the most yards in the league on the ground.
Speaker 1: There are a lot more middle of the road against
Speaker 1: the past. I don't think the Steelers are gonna need
Speaker 1: to throw much in the second half. I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna see ample doses of Livian Bell and the screen
Speaker 1: game and underneath routes to Antonio Brown. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: need to risk turning the ball over on deep place.
Speaker 1: I view him best as a boom er Bus wide
Speaker 1: receiver three. More so than I must start when I
Speaker 1: tell you to shy away from him this week because
Speaker 1: he's a fool gaze. I'm dropping gems like a careless
Speaker 1: jewel thief. That's fazy. How do you know what's a
Speaker 1: food gazing? Look different? Fake y? I know the fogazing
Speaker 1: forget about forget about it. You know, I gotta fool gaze.
Speaker 1: And you know, if people listen to Fantasy Freestyle all
Speaker 1: the time rocks and speeds, whether it be I'm a
Speaker 1: Fantasy sports radio network or you catch us on that Twitter,
Speaker 1: you know for a while that Ski's spinning statistician has
Speaker 1: been fading al Shawn Jeff He just does not like
Speaker 1: the man. I don't like his soft tissue injuries. I
Speaker 1: don't like how he pops on the injury report every week.
Speaker 1: I don't like what he role modeled for Kevin White,
Speaker 1: who is now on high r And here's what I
Speaker 1: also do not like. I do not like him with
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer. Brian Hoyer has been incredible. He has been
Speaker 1: the third best quarterback over the last three weeks. Fan
Speaker 1: duel and drafting spices still have not caught up to him,
Speaker 1: and yo, I gotta give it up to rocks. You know,
Speaker 1: we give pounds on them gentlemen's bed rocks had Brian
Speaker 1: Hoyer on his gentleman's bet against me when Maddie Ice
Speaker 1: last week, Yo, props to rocks like we do here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle. I acknowledge I accept rocks one
Speaker 1: that one. We'll see what's up your two part two cons. However, yo,
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer. Since Brian Hoyer has been there, Al Shan
Speaker 1: Jeffrey has the fourth highest amount of targets on the Chicago.
Speaker 1: That's not good. That is not good. Okay. Last week
Speaker 1: Zach Miller got more targets. Jordan's now got more targets.
Speaker 1: Cameron Meredith got more targets. Who have any royal out
Speaker 1: there as well? And this is why he's my food
Speaker 1: gazing because just like I'm the jeweler on Mulberry Street,
Speaker 1: I look deeper. I've actually broken down some game film, okay,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you I've looked at this time and
Speaker 1: time again. Brian Hoyer, for some reason, he looks straight
Speaker 1: at the number two receiver. The number two receiver is
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer's first read. He does not look at the
Speaker 1: X receiver as the primary options trust me. If you
Speaker 1: have time, you can break down the tape too. But
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, he looks. His progression is
Speaker 1: different than Jay Cutler's was. He looks number two, then
Speaker 1: he looks Zack Miller, then he looks dumped down. He
Speaker 1: does not look to al Sean Jeffrey through gaze. Do
Speaker 1: you forget about Do you think that has to do
Speaker 1: something with like Brian Hoyer having been the number two
Speaker 1: so much of his life. Maybe second born child, Maybe
Speaker 1: he doesn't want that guy. I don't know, start with
Speaker 1: the B second letter in the al bet. It might
Speaker 1: be on this something, but trust me, Foo Gazy Man,
Speaker 1: do not pay up for househaw Jeffrey in weeks six
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars forget about my food. Gazy this
Speaker 1: week is a guy uh that you know, he was
Speaker 1: pretty highly rated coming into the season like that. The
Speaker 1: magic has not been there, you know, Uh and Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins this week, I am really concerned about his ability
Speaker 1: to be effective at all with Jordan Read and the protocol.
Speaker 1: This week he's in the dark room. He's avoiding all light.
Speaker 1: And when you start in the protocol on like Tuesday
Speaker 1: or Wednesday, it doesn't look good for and when you
Speaker 1: have five known kin cuttins, you know, it just doesn't
Speaker 1: look good for your long time good mental stability. What
Speaker 1: I'll say is that Reid has always been cousins safety blanket,
Speaker 1: and he makes the whole offense better. And the two
Speaker 1: games read missed last year, Cousins had passer ratings of
Speaker 1: sixty point seven and fifty seven point nine. Those are
Speaker 1: not good passer ratings. The fact also is that this
Speaker 1: Eagles defense is not the Eagles defense from the Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly years, and maybe, just maybe it's because they're not
Speaker 1: on the field for forty five minutes in game anymore.
Speaker 1: Philly is looking for real and part of it is
Speaker 1: just they're playing slow, deliberate offense, and that's keeping opposing
Speaker 1: offenses off the field. In fact, Matt Stafford last week
Speaker 1: was the first quarterback to throw a touchdown pass against them. Sure,
Speaker 1: he wrapped up three touchdown passes, but still they're the
Speaker 1: third toughest overall against fantasy quarterbacks. You might not like it,
Speaker 1: but you've got to accept it that Kirk Cousins is
Speaker 1: a fool gazzy this week, and there's only a handful
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks I would start over him. Alright, alright, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: but let's start let's calm down with all that. Heye, okay,
Speaker 1: because we got some diamonds out there. We got some
Speaker 1: people who want to promote also, right there, Rouns. We
Speaker 1: got some people that we like. We gotta we gotta
Speaker 1: turn the gotta turn these frowns around, all right, We
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta give some people that they can use
Speaker 1: this reach to win their leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: Shout him off for the diamond. The rough rocks. You know,
Speaker 1: we talked earlier when we were talking about wide receivers
Speaker 1: to drop at the top of the show about Michael
Speaker 1: Floyd's struggles. My diamond this week at only sixty six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, only a hundred dollars more than Michael Floyd
Speaker 1: is John Smokey Brown, And a big part of that
Speaker 1: is that the Jets are just absolutely getting tords into
Speaker 1: that top speeds. As a Jets fan, he knows what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. The top Brown has been a little
Speaker 1: bit inconsistent so far. Part of that has to do
Speaker 1: with Drew Stanton starting the last game, but I like
Speaker 1: him to beat the Jets over the top. For a
Speaker 1: couple of long games, including a touchdown. He actually has
Speaker 1: not scored yet this year. I think you're gonna see
Speaker 1: him benefiting from Carson under center. The last game they
Speaker 1: played together, he went ten catches for a hundred forty
Speaker 1: four yards. He's a boom or bus pick that I
Speaker 1: think is going to boom. It's gonna look like an
Speaker 1: explosion in the diamond mine this week to get him
Speaker 1: in your lineups. Yo. I hope you didn't put out
Speaker 1: that explosion before I was out side in diamond mind
Speaker 1: because I went digging real deep for some diamonds. My
Speaker 1: diamond in the rough is Rob Kelly Washington football team,
Speaker 1: you might be asking hole, not Matt Jones, Yo. Matt
Speaker 1: Jones had every opportunity to take control of this backfield.
Speaker 1: Now they are saying Rob Kelly has earned carries in
Speaker 1: that backfield, and listen, there was Chris Thompson in there
Speaker 1: as the passing down back already. I do not like
Speaker 1: that situation for Matt Jones moving forward, and looks like
Speaker 1: they may be wanting to give Rob Kelly the chance.
Speaker 1: He is unowned in your league, trust me, only owned
Speaker 1: in four per cent of leagues. That means all the
Speaker 1: people y'all are sitting with at the bar right now,
Speaker 1: only one of them has Rob Kelly in Tis or her.
Speaker 1: Leave go right now and statch him. Trust me, you
Speaker 1: might be happy you did. And if he pops and
Speaker 1: you have a legit running back Namond in the roff.
Speaker 1: You know, speed is the only thing I'm concerned about
Speaker 1: there is I was just talking about that Pittsburgh dee.
Speaker 1: Excuse me that Philadelphia defense is a pretty solid defense.
Speaker 1: But you're not concerned. Not talking about this. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about this in the one week since Rocks. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about like diamonds are forever, Rock diamonds are forever.
Speaker 1: One thing that has not traditionally been forever is Ryan
Speaker 1: Matthews staying on the field. However, I like him a
Speaker 1: lot this week. He's only sixty five dollars on fan duel.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit more than I would like. But again,
Speaker 1: this is as much about Washington's run defense as it
Speaker 1: is him as a player. He is back to full help.
Speaker 1: You saw him get involved in the passing game last
Speaker 1: week with five catches, including a touchdown. He also saw
Speaker 1: the most carries he's had since Week one. He's got
Speaker 1: four total three d s, four total tds to the
Speaker 1: four games he's played, and the Eagles offense has basically
Speaker 1: lived in the red zone so far. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be able to make the most of the touches
Speaker 1: he does see still seating too many to rolls for
Speaker 1: me to like him as an every week starter. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna wind up with over a hundred yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. And I'm saying he's a diamond in
Speaker 1: the rough at six dollars on fan duel and one
Speaker 1: who I think you can play specifically in tournaments, because
Speaker 1: I do not think he's going to be very highly owned. Alright, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: let me end this show here Fantasy Freestyle on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network with one more diamond to bring
Speaker 1: it home. I think this is finally the week we
Speaker 1: see the return of Jamal Choms. Okay, they're coming off
Speaker 1: of by in Kansas City. He only got slight burned
Speaker 1: in that first game in Week four, only two touches,
Speaker 1: and they he admits that they only did that because
Speaker 1: Sharkndric West was not healthy going into that would rather
Speaker 1: sad him. And now they get to have off the bye.
Speaker 1: I'm hearing this is the week he is unshackled like
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and they are going to ride him a
Speaker 1: little bit and listen. I think it's great timing as
Speaker 1: that Oakland Raiders d fence that is thirty feet in
Speaker 1: the league, giving up four hundred and one yards per game.
Speaker 1: That is a ton and I think Jamal Charles can
Speaker 1: kill you running can kill you out of the backfield,
Speaker 1: where the Raiders are also thirty one in the NFL
Speaker 1: against the past. So this is a prime opportunity in
Speaker 1: an a f C West game, a big game, a
Speaker 1: game that I had, to be quite honest, thinks should
Speaker 1: have been flexd into Sunday Night Football if possible. Instead
Speaker 1: of that, do do Colves Texans matchup that we have.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a game that
Speaker 1: will really matter in the playoffs. I like Jamal Charles
Speaker 1: to return. Big time players make big, big plays in
Speaker 1: big games that I think you're gonna see that this situation.
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, Yes, Spencer where may still get a touchdown
Speaker 1: as a goal lineback, but as you've discussed Rocks, Jamal
Speaker 1: Charles is a kind of back that will get get
Speaker 1: into the end zone from twenty yards out. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and I also think, you know, there's kind of been
Speaker 1: a bit of conflicting with worts out of Kansas City.
Speaker 1: He's saying the training wheels are off, the o C
Speaker 1: saying they're gonna sprinkle him in. But one thing I've watched,
Speaker 1: one thing I've learned from watching commercials, is that sprinkles
Speaker 1: are for winners. And Jamal Charles, as we talked about
Speaker 1: all off season, is the kind of guy who can
Speaker 1: make it happen on twelve to fifteen touches, can make
Speaker 1: it happen in the receiving game, and can score those
Speaker 1: long touchdowns. So I love that call this week, Speeds.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be nice to also, just as one of
Speaker 1: the NFL's better players, just to see him back on
Speaker 1: the field as a fan. And hey, I like sprinkles.
Speaker 1: Two rocks like sprinkles, Feeds like sprinkles. We all like sprinkles.
