We 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.000 moved to these running backs, you know, and and it's 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.600 been it's been hit or missed. For real, There's been 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.960 a lot of running backs that you might have drafted 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.000 really high up in your league that have not panned out. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.920 You know, Guys like Todd Gurley almost the reason why 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.119 we tell people to go wide receiver. It's like it's 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.120 it's like we were saying that there's no real workhorse backs. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.840 But Lamar Miller fits into that as well. You know, 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.240 I'm really interested about like Alfred Blue got a bunch 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.280 of touches that last game. I thought they were gonna 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.480 be running him a lot of No that was you know, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.920 that was really unfortunate for Lamar Miller owners to see 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.000 Alfred Flutle mean and he mainly got the garbage time 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.240 touches when the game was well at a hand workload, however, 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.160 is the one thing that you do not have to 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.360 be concerned about with Lamar Miller. You heard Hill O'Brien 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.840 give him at at a confidence. The big difference I 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.760 think from last year and this year is how bad 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.800 the Houston line has looked. You know, everyone was saying 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.320 that one of the reasons that Mark Miller was going 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:09.919 to be great this year because he was moving from 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.280 a terrible line in Miami to a good, solid line 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.520 in Houston. They've dealt with a lot of injuries. They 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.240 have not held up their end of the bargain. That said, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.480 I do think that Lamar Miller is one of the 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.239 backs that has the ability to join that next tier, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.839 the next the top tier of Ezekiel Elliott, Levian Bell, 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.720 David Johnson. So outside of those guys, right outside of 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.160 those guys who you know a lot, the loaded RB ones, 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.840 Ezekiel Elliott, David Johnson. Now that Leban Bell is back 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.480 and better than ever, Joe, I'm telling you eleven targets 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.040 last week. I love it. Targets last week, or those 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.760 backs that are settling in maybe to the back half 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.119 of your RB one rankings moving forward, now that we've 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.400 seen five weeks play rock Well, he's speaking the targets. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.040 One of the guys that I want to highlight as 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.920 far as that's concerned is mark Ingram on the New 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.080 Orleans Saints. Part of what gave him so much value 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.160 last year before he went down with injury was how 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.200 he was being used the lot as a receiver out 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.760 of the backfield, which was not something you saw early 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.720 in his career. That was not happening early in the season. However, 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.880 the last two weeks, re says looked to him a 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.280 lot more in the screen game. Another thing that I 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.840 don't expect to happen that much going forward is him 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.800 being vultured at the goal line by John Kun. Kun 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.320 will probably see a couple more charies. Saints love to 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.680 do that inside handoff when everyone in the world knows 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.160 it's coming. But I do think that the receiving work, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.160 the goal line work, is going to really help mark 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.840 Ingram improved on his RB eleven and points per game 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.360 and put him solidly in the top eight for the 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.480 rest of the season. And I think he's a great, great, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.720 great bet in that scene, well, in that that that 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.160 same tier. You know, I really like the switch over 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.840 from from your boy Blame Gaverette to my boy Colin Kaepernick, 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.560 and I think that that's gonna help Carlos Hide see 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.960 a little bit more holes that he's been averaging nineteen 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.440 points a game already in PPR. That's largely on the 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.040 back of six rushing scores. But Kaepernick is actually a 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.480 dual threat, unlike the fig Alex Smith dual threat that 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.440 Blaine Gabbert had going on. And I think Kaepernick could 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.440 help open up some more lanes for Carlos Hide. I 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.040 get some of those bigger running place. You know. The 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.400 Chip Kelly offense is predictable, but Hide has been seeing 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.880 a ton of volume and he's actually been somewhat involved 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.960 in the passing game about two and a half catches 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.120 a game, so he's holding value a rare running back 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.240 to hold value on a bad team. And I think 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.480 you still stay in RB one rest of the season. Hey, 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.719 it's interesting because I'm a little bit lower on Carlos Hide. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.360 So let me throw out some of these names as 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.680 you would find out where you stand on them as 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.040 it relates to Carlos Hi. Would you trade me Carlos 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.400 Hide one one for one for Isaiah Coel Would I 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.280 trade you Hide for him? Yeah? Okay, see, I like 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.919 Isaiah Cola a little bit better. Would you trade me 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:48.760 Carlos hide for Tevin Coleman. That's a tough one to bease. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.080 That's a tough one Tevin Coleman. Well, what I will 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.560 give Tevin Coleman is that he's been a lot more 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.040 explosive he's been used in the passing game, but he's 0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.200 still firmly the one B to DeVonta Freeman's one A. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.160 All right, how about how about Meldon Gordon? I think 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.960 Melvin Gordon is a bit of a mirage. I also 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.240 think that him putting the ball on the ground, even 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.560 though that there's not a lot behind him, is going 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.320 to really keep the team passing in the red zone 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.640 rather than trusting him because he's ands He's made a 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.359 lot of bone head plays late in the game. And 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.320 that's a team that is we've talked about, you know, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.440 is coming up with a new way to lose every week. 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.360 And if if I'm you know, if I'm that defense, 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:27.960 if I'm the rest of that offense, and I don't 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.560 want to see Melvin Gordon touching the ball with with 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.440 you know late in the game, that's true. I got 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.359 one more for your rocks here, testing your Carlos high veracity. 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.400 We go to Seattle after there by Christian Michael. He's 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.120 been looking good. There's no sign of a cannon, those 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.279 sign of roles anywhere. Who would you rather happen that 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.160 kind of trade offer. That's a pretty tough one, speeds, 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.600 and so you got him right around Christian Michael, right around. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.360 I got him right around there, Coleman area. I really 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.240 want to see. I really want to see how he 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.080 looks with Kaepernick under center. But I do think that 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.160 based on volume. You know, Sean Drones is really just 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.960 a passing game back, and they've proven that they're willing 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.680 to give the ball to hide enough to make him 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.920 a volume play. And he's also looked explosive at times, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.360 and he's getting the ball at the goal line. Those 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.000 are all things we really like from a fantasy perspective. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.320 And knowing that Chip Kelly wants to run the ball 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.600 and wants to run those plays, no doubt, no doubt. 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.440 One other running back we would be even missed if 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.200 we did not mention is Shady McCoy. I put him 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:28.039 now in my top he's potentially the top three going forward. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:32.200 Here's why that offense has committed to him. Anthony Lynn, 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.680 the new offensive coordinator, was the former running backs coach, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.080 and those are three and oh since they made that 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.360 change that everybody, including us on the Fantasy Freestyle, but 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.280 was a move based out of nepotism. In fact, they're 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.640 three and oh. And listen, Shady McCoy fourth in the 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.440 NFL with four hundred forty seven yards five point three 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.440 yards a carry. That is doing big things, especially when 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.880 you have eighty five carries so far in the season. Yeah, 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.200 he's averaging over a hundred cotal yards a game. He's 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.880 got four touchdowns. And you know, Buffalo has that running 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.640 back playbook that's essentially war in peace. You know, it's 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.240 the biggest playbook in history, and McCoy has been the 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.480 beneficiary of that. And you're seeing what he can do 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.600 when he's fully healthy and he does not have to 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.800 deal with Carlos Williams vulturing all of his touchdowns, no doubt, 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.600 no doubt. Let's keep me moving. Interestingly enough, you mentioned Rocks. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.800 You mentioned that here on the Fantasy Freestyle, and we 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.520 bring it to you, Rocks and Spies, all the times 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.640 you can win your league and win that cats, and 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.440 we're doing so here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Um, 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.800 we've been recommended. We recommended all season long. And that's 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.680 the reason what we talk about why we went whiteouts right, 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.000 and a lot of people went real heavy on whiteouts. 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.680 But as as we get to you know, week six, 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.880 some things are normalizing. Some things that I've been saying 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.880 for a while have become a true some things have 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:52.560 popped off. Um, which kind of whiteouts rocks? Would you say? 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.040 You know that people are high on that, maybe it's 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.320 just time to move on from and accept that it's 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.000 not their year. Yeah, I mean, you know, every offseason 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.760 and Hope springs eternal, you get all these puff pieces guys, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.280 you know, working on routes with the quarterback and showing 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.240 up in the best shape of everybody's in the best 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.200 shape of their lives in August. Um, you know, one 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.960 of the guys that we talked about and I was 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:15.080 really really high on, foolishly was was Devin Funches. He 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.600 was the true offseason all star. Kelvin Benjamin was supposedly 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.080 out of shape and gonna be on some sort of rotation. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.840 Devin Funches is just not part of the game plan. 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.960 He's got thirteen targets so far this season. I think 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.800 he is completely safe to drop right now. In any 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.520 format other than a keeper league or a dynasty league, 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.560 because unless Kelvin Benjamin excuse me, unless Calvin Benjamin gets hurt, 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.440 Funches is just not going to be seeing them. This 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.240 is all greg Olsen, man. Do you see what Greg 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.120 Olsen did well? Him? And you know him and him 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.520 and Derek, him and Derek Anderson maybe like know each 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.400 other from back in the day. You know, they got 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.560 they got that. You know now that now that the 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.200 regular season is on. You know you heard Camp talking 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.280 Funches up all all off season about how he's going 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.040 to be involved in Now he's just somebody that he 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.520 used to know who I know, you got at the 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.160 wine you want to talk about? That is completely sliding 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.920 even down the depth chart in Arizona, I think might 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.560 be down the white out for Michael Floyd. Yeah, you know, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.640 I mean it's interesting Geron Brown, uh not John Smoky 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.200 Brown has actually been pushing him for snaps and you know, 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.440 one of the things that's kind of interesting here, Carson 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.880 Palmer's playing a lot worse than he did last year. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.040 But there have been whispers out of Arizona, including from 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.800 their coach, that Floyd is really really pressing because he's 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:28.080 in a contract here. Hello, you play to win the gad, 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.880 you don't play to chi play it. He's dropping balls, 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.920 he looks inefficient, He's run the wrong way and a 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.959 couple of routes leading to Palmer interceptions and been shoot 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.880 out for it. You know, I think you need to 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.920 hold him for one week because the Jets defense secondary, 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.280 they're really good for what ails you in terms of 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.160 quarterbacks and especially going over the top where they like 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.200 to go deep. Bruce Arian's offense likes to go deep. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.240 Michael Floyd's vertical passing. It's a virtual passing game. But 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.600 what I will say also is that the one reason 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.520 I would be somewhat hesitant to drop Floyd's because last year, 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.040 when he was slow to come back for those lacerated 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.360 dislocated fingers, he really popped hard over the second half 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.480 of the season and was a difference maker for a 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.439 lot of people. So Michael Floyd is a guy, unlike Punches, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.880 who has a track record and is more likely to 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.400 be scooped up if you do make that move. Give 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.880 him a week. See how the snap cool shakes out 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.760 some patients. But he's right on the borderline. He's he's 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.360 the last guy on my roster. If I got him 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:23.960 on my team, I got you, I got you and 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.360 yo uh. The fans of the Fantasy Freestyle, they know 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.800 that at this point, what we're only we're only twelve 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.800 minutes in and we're bringing you that he It's also 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.360 we're only twelve minutes in, and it's my first mention 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.959 of Jim Bob Cooder because you know that Detroit Lines 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.240 that are you gotta light out? You want to talk 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.120 about that. Also, it's time to move away from But 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.120 like I said, like I said, the entire time, the 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.559 Detroit Lines are gonna be enjoying the fact that they're 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.360 spreading the targets around because of no Megatron, and we're 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.160 getting you know an con Molden, Eric Dron, Theo Riddick, 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:59.719 Marvin Jones, but not so much Golden Tap no man. 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.360 He was supposed to be the one beat of Marvin 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.720 Jones one A and even a lot of people took 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.679 that with a grain assault, saying maybe that's coach speak 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.360 because Golden Tate had already developed such a great rapport 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.720 with with Matthew Stafford. Golden Tate doesn't have a good 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.319 rapport with any of his teammates. You know, Russell Wilson, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.240 he knows what's up. Yeah, I mean I got a 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.240 side with Golden Tate on that, just because I do 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.200 not like Russell Wilson um. But yeah, it's just the 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.760 Golden Tate benefiting from Megatron not being there has not happen. 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.200 He's only seeing six targets a game and that's resulting 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.640 so far in an average of forty one scoreless yards. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.320 And Stafford has also been spreading the ball around, as 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.360 you said, but even with Ebron out, Golden Tate has 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.600 not proven to really be doing much at all with 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.839 his targets, and he's not been very efficient. He's only 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.720 caught seventeen a thirty one. He's not getting it done. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.360 And he's also just someone who is, you know, not 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.920 having that yak that he was known for not making 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.439 things happen. So, you know, I think you can really 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.600 get get rid of him and look for a higher 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.199 upside player because he's just not really showing it this year, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.800 no doubt, no doubt. And while we are talking about 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.680 the Detroit Lions are mail bag question rocks Uh this 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.080 week comes from the Great State of Michigan. It is 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.720 Matt from up there in Saginaw, Michigan. He asked also 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.320 on this threat about wide receivers that he wants to 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.440 cut date on um he is a little worried about 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.079 Julian Edelman, even though Tom Brady is back, is seeing 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.280 the offense go through the tight ends and the running bracks. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.559 He's in a ten teams standard league and is wondering 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.079 in a place where you do not get points per reception, 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.280 what are you thinking about with only ten teams, What 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.600 are you thinking about Julian Edelman as it relates to 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.600 your roster spots? You know, uh, certainly, he's clearly more 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.480 valuable in PPR leagues. What I will say, though, is 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.600 there was only one game back with Tom Brady and 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.440 Edelman was pretty solid. I think he had about seventy 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.720 seventy five yards his first two games when when Jimmy 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.920 Garops was under center. I think that he's gonna explode 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.080 one of these weeks. He's a guy who's proven he 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.520 can be a thousand yard a year wide receiver and 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.040 that plays in any format. I also think, you know, 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.000 he's being held weighed down by the fact that he 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.800 hasn't scored a touchdown yet. This is a high octane 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.680 Patriots offense, it can be kind of difficult to predict 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.520 who's gonna see the most targets in any given week. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.319 But I do think despite the emergence of Michael Bennett, 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.880 that despite the emergence of Martellis Bennett, Michael Mike Michael 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.040 Bennett been emerged. Uh, I think that you're gonna really 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.840 see Edelman settled back into his familiar role as Tom 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.120 Brady's second favorite target behind Gronk. And I think that 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.600 dropping him would be relatively shortsighted because even in a 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.640 ten team non PPR league and an explosive offense, you're 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.040 gonna watch him get scooped up and you will definitely 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.520 watch him have some big weeks moving forward. Uh, no doubt, 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.240 No doubt. Hey, Matt, I I also have some of 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.360 the nervousness that you do up there in Michigan and 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.720 Yupie Land, um, because I do think a couple of things. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.679 One day, they really like going through the tight end. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.679 This is how Bill Belichick is staying one step ahead 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.160 of defenses by trying to exploit the middle of the field. Um. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.040 The other thing, and this is something that for some 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.679 reason I haven't heard a lot of people talking about, um, 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.880 Tom Brady was never a quarterback with the strongest arm. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.520 And Tom Brady is what thirty eight, thirty nine years old, 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.320 thirty seven years old? Tom? Alright? I mean like Tom 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.960 your thirty, I would be interested, happy thirty that this 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.640 is also in relationship, being able to try to save 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.840 Tom Brady and lengthen his career. They are not designed 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.000 to go to the outside anymore. I know Edelman is 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.600 inside during his two way goals, but that medal is 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.840 real clouded these days with the black unicorn. I agree 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.160 with what I think is the tone of your email, 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.280 mat And Um, I'd be nervous. I wouldn't. I wouldn't 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.200 be starting him week a week. He's not a must start. 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.000 I keep him on my roster, but he's not a 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.200 must start. From one other wide receiver position. I want 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.360 to put it forth is the New York Giants, the 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.920 New York Giants. You know, I think if Sterling Shepherd 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.280 chef I call sheef, you call him, was a big 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.200 was a big name. Victor Cruz. You know Victor Cruse 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.320 is healthy. Um, this Ben McAdoo offense has not looked 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.960 that great two offense or is it Eli Manning running 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.160 the off Eli Manning his quarterback twenty four after five 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.880 weeks of play. And what you have if you're a 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.120 receiver like shef is you have a receiver on the 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.720 other side and Goldell who has been popping off and 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.040 now is getting all the attention. And now the offense 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.080 feels like they have to feed oh Del the ball 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.840 and that doesn't mean good things. If you are Sterling Shepherd, 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.640 you know, let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.040 Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know, check 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.680 this out, Rocks after that big holdout. You know for 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.120 so long we saw last week Joey Bosa and he 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.520 had two sacks in his first game. We want to 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.720 tip our cap or do we still like feel like 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.360 he uh, he took a little punk route getting that money. 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.680 I think that the San Diego Superchargers were the ones 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.600 who are punks in that situation. Know, it seemed like 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.480 Boss team was reasonable. And you know, again, if you 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.200 don't spend the third overall pick on a guy when 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.240 your defense is in clear need of help, and then 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.800 you know, try and play hardball and nitpick him, and 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.000 you saw exactly what they were missing. Last week. That 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.720 defense I think is still definitely going to be one 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.880 to attack moving forward, particularly with the injuries in their secondary. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.200 But he gives them a real pass rush up front. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.360 And also just it's a team playing for the future. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:26.680 You want to know what you have and I think 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.920 they've got something with him. All right, We'll see how 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.760 Joey Bosa does for the rest of the season. When 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.280 we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, We're gonna go 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.480 game by game, and in a lot of the games 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.920 here in week six, we're gonna give you who to sid, 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.640 who to start, who does that value in DFS.

Will be back right after this. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.520 I would rather play with ten people and just get 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.120 penalized all the way until we got to do something else, 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.920 rather than play with the leaven when I know that 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.080 right now that person is not sold out to be 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.439 a part of this team.

And we're gonna do 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.320 right now in the Fantasy Freestyles. We're gonna dive into 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.800 some of these week week six games. Let you know 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.240 who to sit, who start, who trade, who sit, who 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.359 the values are so you can win that league and 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.399 win that cash. Like I said, the first game you 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.159 want to get into with the Bengals and the Patriots 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.400 where the Bengals go to Gillette Stadi and the Patriots 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.040 are eight and a half point favorites. Rocks. Uh, the 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.679 Angry Brady Tour continue, Yeah, man, You know, speaking of 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.440 diving in, Tom Brady basically did a big cannon ball 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.880 in his return to the NFL. Splash play after splash play, 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.360 you saw moronk looking like he was. You saw Bennett 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.960 in the in the red zone. And I think that 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.280 this is a game where you know the spread has 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:20.920 got it right. I think the patch should be able 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.639 to lace them with ease. For Bengals fans, you know 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.399 they're gonna feel deflated when they get stomped by another 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.560 likely playoff team, and I think just has to leave 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.840 them resigned to the fact that they are not going 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.720 to be going anywhere this year. I was adamant all 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.600 off season that the Patriots offense could support two te 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.000 ones and it's only been one week, but it sure 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.160 looked that way. And I think Bennett is a tight 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.520 end one until further notice. We talked about this a 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.840 little bit in the mail bag, but Edelman's targets have 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.520 been a bit concerning, while Ben it's playing a big role. 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.760 That said, I still like him as a wide receiver 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.880 two in PPR this week. Hard to see how he's 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:57.560 going to be involved in the red zone, but I 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.919 trust Belichick will be getting him the ball, and again, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.720 this will be the angry Brady approach where they're gonna 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:07.639
