Speaker 1: As always, big shout out to everybody listening on I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio, listening live on tune In Radio, watching live
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports YouTube stream. We have a big
Speaker 1: show for you on a Thursday, Week eight of the
Speaker 1: NFL season kicks off tonight with the Baltimore Ravens and
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. A lot of people wonder who is
Speaker 1: gonna produce in this game where the over under is
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half. We have a backup quarterback
Speaker 1: in Miami. It sounds like the entire Ravens offense is
Speaker 1: listed as questionable with the game time decision. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you who you can play tonight from this matchup.
Speaker 1: It's not many players, Okay, maybe a defense or two.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that a little bit later on for
Speaker 1: my Thursday Night football preview. Also listen World Series game
Speaker 1: to last night Instant Classic. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: As the Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers seven
Speaker 1: to six in eleven innings. This was a game where
Speaker 1: there were more home runs than non home run hits.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers had one hit all game that was not
Speaker 1: a home run. And this year we talked about the
Speaker 1: three true outcomes. That was never more in place. Then
Speaker 1: last night they said a World Series record for strikeouts
Speaker 1: combined with nineteen, a World Series record for home runs
Speaker 1: in a game with eight, and there was really, I mean,
Speaker 1: so many weird things happened. Also, remember, um, you know,
Speaker 1: we had a pickoff attempt that hit an umpire, We
Speaker 1: had a we had a flyball short hop and hit
Speaker 1: a guy's bill of his cap or else that came.
Speaker 1: Could have been very different. But the World Series is
Speaker 1: tied at one as we head back down to Houston tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Also breaking news today, Joe Girardi is out as Yankees manager.
Speaker 1: As you guys, all know. I am, of course, Hey
Speaker 1: Yankees fans, why tip my hat to Joe Girardi. I
Speaker 1: think he got him through some of the lean years,
Speaker 1: helped develop this new core. And I think that if
Speaker 1: and when in the following decade, or maybe even in
Speaker 1: this decade, when the Yankees doing fact get number twenty eight,
Speaker 1: I for one am gonna remember the contributions and the
Speaker 1: development of Joe Girardi. Also, here's what we're gonna do. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my preview not only of Thursday
Speaker 1: Night Football, but of a couple of other spotlight games
Speaker 1: that I think are very important in Week eight. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring up something that is very important moving
Speaker 1: forward in the season, in the betting season and in
Speaker 1: the fantasy season. Something you don't have to deal with
Speaker 1: in the first month or month at a half of
Speaker 1: the season, but you really need to consider moving forward.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know what that is. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you know who to play on Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 1: And yesterday I ended the show talk about how we
Speaker 1: put the fun un functional Sports Radio, talked about the
Speaker 1: Venice Marathon. Hopefully there's time because I want to get
Speaker 1: into what happened there in that marathon in Italy. A
Speaker 1: little home cooking we're gonna talk about, and as always,
Speaker 1: later on in the show, we're gonna open up the
Speaker 1: phone lines at eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. We got a good show before you
Speaker 1: on a Thursday, dropping stats over beat. It's the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come back, let's go. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm Melissa and I'm Joe And where the interns. The
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network and d k MS want to
Speaker 1: send you to Minnesota this February. All you have to
Speaker 1: do is play our Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by

Speaker 1: Here comes the brand new flavor in your ear. Boy,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. My man, the
Speaker 1: Manimal Christal vote all the ones that tools keep and
Speaker 1: it's so hot that we sweat steam. We are blowing
Speaker 1: up like a Samsung seven on the Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network with a little Craig mac flavor in your ear.
Speaker 1: Coming back. All right, we got a big show here
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. When I want to do is go
Speaker 1: around the league, give you some practice reports, give you
Speaker 1: some news and notes, and then I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: my preview for tonight Ravens and Dolphins. Get it going
Speaker 1: in about an hour and we'll see if there's actually
Speaker 1: any points scored. The overunder for this game is thirty
Speaker 1: seven and a half, and I'll tell you where I'm
Speaker 1: going a little bit later on in the show. We
Speaker 1: got the poll question up as always on Twitter, follow
Speaker 1: me ats bitten speeds. We're gonna find out, isn't it
Speaker 1: you know? Ravens minus three, Dolphins plus three over or under.
Speaker 1: We want to see what you guys think what's the
Speaker 1: winning par lay for tonight. But let's first go around
Speaker 1: the league. Listen. Head coach Sean Payton of the Saint
Speaker 1: says that that Michael Thomas knee injury is not serious.
Speaker 1: It's not long term. Remember he did not practice yesterday.
Speaker 1: But I tell you, when the Wednesday practice reports come out,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just ma ttenance. Sometimes you're just giving people
Speaker 1: a day arrest. You want to see in what direction
Speaker 1: are they trending. Michael Thomas got in limited practice today
Speaker 1: after a d NP yesterday. That means he is trending
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Expect him to play on Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears in Washington. Gruden says that, uh,
Speaker 1: they're gonna play the hot hand at the X wide
Speaker 1: receiver between Josh Dotson and Terrell Prior. As you know,
Speaker 1: this is usually a term reserved for like a committee
Speaker 1: running back right, like the Giants backfield. They said, oh,
Speaker 1: if dark was the hot hand, if Gallman is the
Speaker 1: hot hand. In Houston they say, you know, if Deonta
Speaker 1: Foreman is the hot hand, will go with him. You
Speaker 1: very rarely hear that about a wide receiver situation. Okay,
Speaker 1: but what's important to note is they pretty much said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with the hot hand at the X
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Okay, your boy Dame Martinez told you, guys,
Speaker 1: I think with all this drama between Terrell Prior and
Speaker 1: of course Josh Dodson, I think Jamison Crowder is set
Speaker 1: and safe. He's at number two. They call it the
Speaker 1: Y wide receiver and Ryan Grant is gonna be the
Speaker 1: work in three wide receiver packages in the slot. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's the Z wide receiver. What this means is that
Speaker 1: both Terrell Prior and Josh Dotson are gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: lowered in expectations because it's them that are gonna be
Speaker 1: split in time. I also have a sneaky feeling that
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior is in the same doghouse as Kenny Britt
Speaker 1: over in Baltimore and what I excuse me over in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: and with the trade deadline approaching, m we shall see
Speaker 1: what happens. But for now, the company line is that
Speaker 1: they're playing the hot hand at the ex wide receiver.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins who play tonight. They are now expecting Jay
Speaker 1: Cutler to return from those rips next week in week nine.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that like cracking your ribs and then
Speaker 1: being back in action like two weeks later. I don't
Speaker 1: think so. Here's the thing, Matt Moore has an opportunity tonight,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, to officially wally pip uh Jay Cutler.
Speaker 1: If you don't get that reference to look it up.
Speaker 1: Look it up. You know it means that Uh was
Speaker 1: doing big things than Louke Garrett got in and continue
Speaker 1: to streak. That stood for about ninety years, and I
Speaker 1: think that if More plays well tonight, he could in
Speaker 1: fact sees control of that job. My man, the manimal
Speaker 1: down there in the Fantasy Sports Dungeon is also telling
Speaker 1: me that we just got word that DeVante Parker will
Speaker 1: be out for the Miami Dolphins, that he is not
Speaker 1: going to go tonight. What I think that means is
Speaker 1: that you know a lot of people who are asking
Speaker 1: me on Twitter, what about Kenny Stills? What about Kenny Stills.
Speaker 1: You saw what Kenny Stills did last week against the Jets,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns with no Devanta Parker there, I think he
Speaker 1: becomes a viable play because there is no Devanta Parker.
Speaker 1: He was limited in practice, gave it a chance, but
Speaker 1: as a true game time decision, it's game time and
Speaker 1: the decision is no on DeVante Parker. Also, interesting news
Speaker 1: out there in Arizona. They've been talking. I got reports
Speaker 1: first with Carson Palmer that he was gonna be like
Speaker 1: six to eight weeks. Then we heard he might try
Speaker 1: to come back in four. Well, today squashed all that.
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals have put Carson Palmer on injury reserve.
Speaker 1: This effectively ends his season, and to be quite honest,
Speaker 1: this might end Carson Palmer's career. The guy's turning thirty eight.
Speaker 1: I believe in December will he come back for a
Speaker 1: team that is not necessarily primed to contend in my
Speaker 1: humble opinion, when you have the Seahawks in that division
Speaker 1: and you have the Rams also ascending. I also want
Speaker 1: to tell you in practice today, Manny Sanders did not
Speaker 1: practice with that ankle injury. Looks like it's trending in
Speaker 1: a bad direction for him. I don't know that he
Speaker 1: is going to be ready. I believe they have the
Speaker 1: Chiefs on Monday Night Football. That means you might be
Speaker 1: able to fire up Benny Fowler as a kind of
Speaker 1: boom or bust option opposite to Marius Thomas. Here's some
Speaker 1: guys that were limited in practice may get the questionable
Speaker 1: tag tomorrow after we slapped the tags on people getting
Speaker 1: ready for Week eight. Danny m in Dola is apparently
Speaker 1: dealing with an hyper extended knee. He's gonna be a
Speaker 1: true game time decision as the Patriots take on the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers. Jonathan Stewart also is limited in practice.
Speaker 1: He's got a toe injury, and that was a new
Speaker 1: injury that just popped up on the injury report. You know,
Speaker 1: if you listen to spitting speeds. I've said it before,
Speaker 1: I don't like people getting added to the injury report
Speaker 1: on a Thursday or a Friday. That means something new happened,
Speaker 1: and I would watch out for Jonathan Stewart. But to
Speaker 1: be quite honest, Jonathan Stewart's play is what I'm worried about.
Speaker 1: He has been gaze for the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: so his play is actually a bigger concern than that
Speaker 1: toe injury for me. And also, Matt Forte popped up
Speaker 1: as a limited participant this after being apparently fine and
Speaker 1: back with a knee. That is a downgrade for Matt Forte.
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on him in the Jets backfield. It
Speaker 1: could be time to fire up my man. Boom boom,
Speaker 1: bilal pal pal. We also have some practice. Here are
Speaker 1: some people who were practicing. Devin Functious is pracracticing in
Speaker 1: full with that hamstring. I like Devon Funcius, I like
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, I like all the Panthers. This week in
Speaker 1: a matchup against that bad Tampa Bay Past secondary. I
Speaker 1: believe they are twenty six maybe in the league against
Speaker 1: the past. So this could be a week for Cam
Speaker 1: Newton and Devin Funchs has been a viable option for him,
Speaker 1: and good matchups for Carolina and the other one. This
Speaker 1: is the big one, my man, Stephen. Can you Diggs?
Speaker 1: Not only did he make the team flight across the
Speaker 1: pond for that London game, but he practiced in full today.
Speaker 1: That is something that Diggs has not done in about
Speaker 1: two weeks. Okay, so things are looking up. Maybe Stefon
Speaker 1: Diggs gets back into the mix and gains the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns this week. Honestly though, I'd set them this week,
Speaker 1: and I don't mean about fantasy. I mean if I
Speaker 1: was the Minnesota Vikings, I would see him this week
Speaker 1: because you gotta figure that they can beat the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns even without step On Diggs. They've got the London
Speaker 1: game and then they have the buy in week nine.
Speaker 1: I've seen Stefon Diggs try to play through this injury
Speaker 1: before and he was far less effective. If I'm the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, if I'm Mike Zimmer, I'm saying, you know,
Speaker 1: Stefan sit this one out. We think we could beat
Speaker 1: the Browns without you. Let's give you another two full
Speaker 1: weeks to get healthy for the stretch run as they
Speaker 1: look to contend in the NFC North. Ken you digs
Speaker 1: it all right, Let's keep it going here on the
Speaker 1: fantasy Freestyle, I gotta give you my preview for Thursday
Speaker 1: night football. Ravens are three point favorites at home. But
Speaker 1: here's the number to look at. The total for this
Speaker 1: game is thirty seven and a half. That means Vegas
Speaker 1: doesn't expect many points to be scored. I also don't
Speaker 1: expect many points to be scored. We're talking about two
Speaker 1: teams that I have not believed in their offense. This
Speaker 1: Ravens offense is blunt, guts trash. I've been saying that
Speaker 1: for a long time. Flacco won a game with something
Speaker 1: like eight completions earlier in the year. You got Jeremy
Speaker 1: Macklin questionable, you got Bent Watson questionable, you got um
Speaker 1: who else do we got? We got Mike Wallace questionable,
Speaker 1: you got Brochard Perriman questionable. What all that means to me?
Speaker 1: You know who's the last man standing? It's Buck Allen. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think Buck Allen could be in line for an
Speaker 1: interesting night. I think he's gonna get some production in
Speaker 1: the Run game because Alice Collins is part of it,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a he doesn't have a lock
Speaker 1: on that job. I think Buck Allen get you a
Speaker 1: little bit of love in the Run game. But you
Speaker 1: know Joe Flacco is gonna check it down to Buck
Speaker 1: Allen a ton especially if Wallace and Macklyn or Watson
Speaker 1: don't go. I think Buck Allen can get you eight
Speaker 1: targets tonight. I think he can get you six catches tonight,
Speaker 1: especially in PPR settings. I love me some Buck Allen.
Speaker 1: On the Dolphin side, I was gonna say this was
Speaker 1: gonna be all Jarvis Landry all the time, right, And
Speaker 1: that was because I thought I was predicting. I was
Speaker 1: anticipating that uh DeVante Parker would not play. Now that
Speaker 1: we have that official word, I even like it some more. Okay.
Speaker 1: I think Kenny Stills is take the top off the guy.
Speaker 1: He's the big play threat, right, He's gonna be the
Speaker 1: one who gets maybe the sixth yard touchdown. But if
Speaker 1: you're in a PPR setting, I love me some Jarvis Landry.
Speaker 1: I also believe that because they have the backup in
Speaker 1: and Matt Moore, this could be a night they turned
Speaker 1: in hand the rock to j A g I E
Speaker 1: about twenty five times, okay, And there are just not
Speaker 1: many running backs in the NFL these days that get
Speaker 1: five carries a game. I like j A g I
Speaker 1: E to produce. I like j A g I E
Speaker 1: to get into the end zone as well. And here's
Speaker 1: the thing. I told you there would be three guys
Speaker 1: I like they would Jagi E, Jarvis Landry, and Buck Allen.
Speaker 1: I told you that there are three players that I like.
Speaker 1: You know what else I like? I like both of
Speaker 1: these defenses. One of the things you gotta read is
Speaker 1: the over under total for the game. And if this
Speaker 1: tale total is that thirty seven and a half. And
Speaker 1: right now on our poll, most people are actually betting
Speaker 1: the under. Right now, six of our people think it's under.
Speaker 1: So what are we talking about here, Seve and Team
Speaker 1: fourteen game. I like both defenses. And remember two weeks
Speaker 1: ago the Baltimore Ravens also had not one, but two
Speaker 1: special team return touchdowns, So I think that could be
Speaker 1: a viable play. Both defenses alive and give me Buck Allen.
Speaker 1: Tonight when we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something you really need to start
Speaker 1: considering on a week two week basis if you're gonna
Speaker 1: try and win some cash. Dane Martinez right here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle, come on back. I'm gonna hold you
Speaker 1: down Hunter, Henry Sterling Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL
Speaker 1: Softmores are not due to slump. They're due to break out.
Speaker 1: Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two,
Speaker 1: things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and
Speaker 1: dell o the app F and t s y R Radio.
Speaker 1: It's free and it's four seventh thing the best Fantasy
Speaker 1: sports on ten's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we get John Blazed right here on the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got Chris Bapona
Speaker 1: the Manimal. It sounds like he's given me a little
Speaker 1: terror squaw fanje big theme here on the Thursdays, we
Speaker 1: kick off Week eight of the Fantasy football season and
Speaker 1: the NFL season. Like I mentioned, we got the Dolphins
Speaker 1: and the Ravens toenate. We gotta pull question up in
Speaker 1: right now, actually the biggest thing ist of you like
Speaker 1: the Dolphins plus three and it to go under thirties
Speaker 1: seven and a half percent of you like the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: and the over of you like the Ravens and the under,
Speaker 1: and twelve percent of you like the Ravens and the over.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about Thursday Night Football. You know the
Speaker 1: trend out there on the betting line as you always
Speaker 1: want to support the home team on Thursday Night Football
Speaker 1: because if you think about it, the road team they're
Speaker 1: usually you know, you get an off day, usually on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, back at practice on a Wednesday, they have
Speaker 1: to travel to the site. They don't really get their
Speaker 1: off day, and then they gotta go right back into
Speaker 1: the multiple car crash action that is an NFL game.
Speaker 1: So one of the trends out there is to always
Speaker 1: fade the road team on Monday Night Football. But I mean,
Speaker 1: excuse me, on Thursday Night. But it looks like right now,
Speaker 1: sixty eight percent of you like the Dolphins catching the
Speaker 1: three points. This could be a low scoring game. Over
Speaker 1: under is only thirty seven and a half, and three
Speaker 1: points means a lot. If a game total is only
Speaker 1: at thirty seven, right try to do the math and
Speaker 1: find football scores that will be that in balance and
Speaker 1: stay under thirty seven. You know, we're talking about fourteen
Speaker 1: games here. We're talking about sixteen fourteen games. Here, we're
Speaker 1: talking about ten games here. Those are tight games, and
Speaker 1: in tight games three points does in fact matter. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you about this other trend that I think
Speaker 1: now starts to be in play because we have reached
Speaker 1: this part of the season. Okay, you will start. You're
Speaker 1: gonna start seeing in matchups teams with a dramatic difference
Speaker 1: in rest, a rest disparity. I bring that up because
Speaker 1: of Thursday night football is one of the things we say,
Speaker 1: we fade the home the road team on Thursday Night football.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The rest disparity is now going
Speaker 1: to start to be more and more. We have these
Speaker 1: Thursday night games, right and then after Thursday you have
Speaker 1: what they call like the mini by. And if you
Speaker 1: win on Thursday night football and you don't have having
Speaker 1: a ten game days until you play again, a lot
Speaker 1: of people like to go with that kind of trend
Speaker 1: as well. And uh, look at the rest disparity, and
Speaker 1: you gotta have a lot of teams coming off by.
Speaker 1: You did not have the bye weeks early on in
Speaker 1: the season, except for, of course, the Bucks and the
Speaker 1: Dolphins because of the response to Hurricane Maria. But now
Speaker 1: this week, week eight, you have six teams coming off
Speaker 1: a bye. Next week, week nine, you have six teams
Speaker 1: that are gonna be on a bye. Later on in
Speaker 1: the season, you're gonna start to see games where teams
Speaker 1: are playing, you know, a team coming off of bye.
Speaker 1: And I think that's a big thing to note. Okay,
Speaker 1: and it is in play in a couple of games
Speaker 1: this week. Let me tell you where I think it
Speaker 1: comes in to play the most. I think it comes
Speaker 1: in to play the most. On Sunday Night Football, the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. Okay, first of all,
Speaker 1: you know, if you watch or listen to the Fantasy
Speaker 1: freestyle hashtag dropping stats over beats, you know I love
Speaker 1: the home dogs, all right. The Detroit Lions are at home,
Speaker 1: getting three or three and a half points depending on
Speaker 1: the shop where you look. They're getting three three and
Speaker 1: a half points against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home, So
Speaker 1: you know I already love the home dog. Right. Here's
Speaker 1: the other thing, Pittsburgh they had you know they had
Speaker 1: a game last week, right a physical game, a divisional
Speaker 1: game against the Cincinnati Bengals, one of those rough, rock'am
Speaker 1: sock'em kind of rivalries many people believe the best rivalry
Speaker 1: in all of the NFL. Right now, what was the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions doing when that game was going on. They
Speaker 1: were chilling, they were resting. They got to stay at
Speaker 1: home also, so they have the bye week, are hosting
Speaker 1: a team traveling to them, and they're a home dog.
Speaker 1: I think that is a good play. Many people are
Speaker 1: gonna be on Pittsburgh because all of a sudden, people
Speaker 1: think that Levan Bell is carrying them and all of
Speaker 1: those not me. I like Detroit in that game. I
Speaker 1: do think, however, this is gonna be for Pittsburgh side
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and Levy on Bell. I do not necessarily
Speaker 1: believe in the juju just yet. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I buy juju Smith Schuster just yet. I think Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: is gonna try and get it done on the backs
Speaker 1: of Levan Bell and Antonio Brown. But if you're betting
Speaker 1: this game, and I'm gonna talk about a little bit tomorrow,
Speaker 1: when you know, I give you my home dogs and
Speaker 1: the double digit lines. But this is prime because of
Speaker 1: the rest disparity. Okay. Also, you got the teams with
Speaker 1: the mini by right. Check out Kansas City. They played
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night football, right last week. They get to
Speaker 1: host Denver this week on Monday Night Football. So after
Speaker 1: last week, they have eleven days to play. And and
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos had a road game against the Chargers
Speaker 1: last week, now have another road game. I never like
Speaker 1: teams with back to back road games, second road game
Speaker 1: in a row, and they are facing a team with
Speaker 1: a rest disparity. I think that helps the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs as well. One of the other games I really
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about real quick before we
Speaker 1: open up the phone lines, and there is some room
Speaker 1: on the phone lines. Okay, So hollow at me at
Speaker 1: eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.
Speaker 1: After this preview, I'm gonna tell you know, we're gonna
Speaker 1: open them up, and I'm gonna try and help you
Speaker 1: win your leagues and win that cash. I think the
Speaker 1: Raiders Bills game is very interesting. Okay. Raiders travel to
Speaker 1: Buffalo to take on the Bills. The Bills are two
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. This game is a forty
Speaker 1: five and a half total. Okay, I think it's interesting
Speaker 1: the Raiders are going up against what many people believe
Speaker 1: there's a good defense. Remember the Buffalo Bills, or were
Speaker 1: at least going into last week number one in the NFL,
Speaker 1: right in terms of points per game. They gave up
Speaker 1: about twenty seven against Tampa, so that may have changed
Speaker 1: a little bit, but overall a good defense when you
Speaker 1: look a little bit closer, though, if you look at
Speaker 1: this Bill's defense, their seventh in the league against the run,
Speaker 1: and they are twenty seven in the league against the past.
Speaker 1: So everyone knows my feelings on a Maori Cooper. We
Speaker 1: even played that rap by Young cos the Effect yesterday.
Speaker 1: I think this is a game where Oakland is going
Speaker 1: to have to attack Buffalo via the past. Okay. I
Speaker 1: think remember no Beast Mode either, Okay, he was suspended
Speaker 1: for this game. I think you fire up. I think
Speaker 1: you fire up Derek Carr. I think you fire up definitely,
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree. I like crab Tree a lot in this game.
Speaker 1: But the guy I want to tell you about, and
Speaker 1: he's a low price pet play on dfs this week,
Speaker 1: it's Jalen Richard. Okay, beast mode isn't there. It's Allen Richard.
Speaker 1: I like Jalen Richard because he's the back that gets
Speaker 1: work in the passing game as well. And because of
Speaker 1: what I just said, Bill seventh first to run verse
Speaker 1: the past, I think they're gonna have their passing down
Speaker 1: back in and on the field a lot. I like
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard in this game. On the flip side, it's
Speaker 1: still the Shady McCoy show. I don't care who they're playing.
Speaker 1: This offense runs through Shady McCoy. I was talking about
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. Then putting all fifty three men
Speaker 1: in the box against Shady McCoy. It seems to not matter. Okay,
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy is or RB one until you hear otherwise,
Speaker 1: even if they put guys box against him, because Shady
Speaker 1: McCoy is still a weapon in the passing game. So
Speaker 1: I like the running backs in this game. Give me
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy, and also give me Jalen Richard in this game.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna go to the phone lines right now,
Speaker 1: because they are popping, like my lip gloss is popping.
Speaker 1: Maybe on Halloween next Tuesday, not today. We're gonna kick
Speaker 1: it off on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got my man.
Speaker 1: We're going to shoo Lynn, we got Pete and Staten Island.
Speaker 1: You gonna kick it off today on the fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: You're dropping stats over beats with speeds. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: help you for a week a brother, men, how are
Speaker 1: you doing? Oh boy? Um? You know, we talked about
Speaker 1: a few days ago that I had to make a
Speaker 1: move for a quarterback and uh, you know, because it
Speaker 1: was horrible at any rate, I made a move, um,
Speaker 1: which I really didn't want to, but I did. Um.
Speaker 1: I got de Shaun Watson and Tyreek Cohen Tarik Cohen.
Speaker 1: Is it um for Mock England, who I did not
Speaker 1: want to give up, Okay, but I had to do
Speaker 1: it because my quarterbacks were case king him and went
Speaker 1: huntly Brent humbly. All right, um, now I have to
Speaker 1: drop a player. First off, you think I'm you know,
Speaker 1: obviously okay with Boston. I don't know about this week
Speaker 1: against Seattle, right, I agree? Right? You know Watson rest
Speaker 1: of season, I think he's fine, But this not the
Speaker 1: week that I would be on Deshaun Watson against the
Speaker 1: legion of boom out there in Seattle, you know, and
Speaker 1: mark Ingram Man, that's real tough to give up. But
Speaker 1: hopefully you've got other running backs so you can support
Speaker 1: the blow because I think mark Ingram is literally like
Speaker 1: a top seven or eight running back for the rest
Speaker 1: of the sea. Yeah, I would put him in like
Speaker 1: seven maybe, but yeah, I mean mark Ingram is a
Speaker 1: lot to give up. So hopefully Watson continues his hot street.
Speaker 1: But tell me about the players you need to drop. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now I have, uh, well my list of running backs,
Speaker 1: by the way, or A Dulu's terrible and Doug Martin,
Speaker 1: who I'm hoping for better. All right. I did pick
Speaker 1: up Onedel Smallwood last night. All right, anyway, alright, now
Speaker 1: my players, I have to drop one playoff for the extra. Here,
Speaker 1: I got case King, who I'm thinking of starting this
Speaker 1: week instead of Shaun Huddley B Hunley of course. And
Speaker 1: you know what I have to Vaunte Booker, and I
Speaker 1: liked him by the way, he might take that job. Pete.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Let me tell you I would
Speaker 1: drop Hunley. I would drop Hunley because then week to
Speaker 1: week he got Deshaun Watson in case Keenum still um
Speaker 1: and Watson is likely gonna be the guy. Like, think
Speaker 1: about it this way. What week moving forward? Are you
Speaker 1: really gonna start Brett Hunley over Deshaun Watson. I don't
Speaker 1: think you're gonna do that ever, So I would drop
Speaker 1: Bret Hunley. That would be the guy. I would drop Pete.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, but I'm up against the break,
Speaker 1: so I gotta let you go. But the answer is
Speaker 1: I would drop. I would drop Brett Hunley alright, but
Speaker 1: feel free to call back any time and let me
Speaker 1: know how it goes. Um, here's what we're gonna do, guys,

Speaker 1: running back question. So thanks to you and everyone, I
Speaker 1: fantasy I won my last three. Let's get that wind
Speaker 1: Street go to four. No, let's get back to five. Dred,
Speaker 1: Let's get you to four and four. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Call Thos? What you're running back? That's what I'm looking
Speaker 1: for it. So right now I'm that guy at running back.
Speaker 1: I have McCoy, McKinnon, Jay Howard, Team Montgomery was going by.
Speaker 1: I have Tevin Coleman, Chris Thompson. Yeah, you wanted that
Speaker 1: three of them? What do you think? And also another question,
Speaker 1: so let me go one at a time. Let me
Speaker 1: go one at a time, man, because you gave me
Speaker 1: a lot out there. Okay, I love Alvin? Is this
Speaker 1: PPR first of all? Yes, sir, PPR and PPR give
Speaker 1: me Shady McCoy and give me Alvin Kamara for sure?
Speaker 1: Do you need to start another one? Yeah? Alright, so
Speaker 1: give me Shady, give me Kamara, and then who else
Speaker 1: is it? McKinnon in McKinnon that's your answer, Oh, Chris
Speaker 1: Thompson and PPR give me Chris Thompson and PPR settings. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like that. Give me Shady McCoy, Give me Chris
Speaker 1: Thompson and give me Alvin Kamara. And to be honest, Carlos,
Speaker 1: you are so stacked at running back that I would
Speaker 1: dangle a guy like Jerrick McKinnon for trade. Okay, I
Speaker 1: would look to potentially trade Jerrick McKinnon because you could
Speaker 1: ride out shape like Alvin Kamar has had his by already.
Speaker 1: You know you gotta like that, right, some of your
Speaker 1: other guys, I would I would try to trade maybe
Speaker 1: a McKinnon or maybe even try to trade a Time Montgomery.
Speaker 1: See if you can help yourself in other places. But
Speaker 1: those are the guys I'm going with. I hope you
Speaker 1: get a win, Carlos, hope you get to four and four.
Speaker 1: Call me next week and tell me that the spitting
Speaker 1: statistician has you on a four game win streak. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the call, my friend. Let's keep it moving here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got a lot of phone
Speaker 1: calls to get to and I ain't got a lot
Speaker 1: of time, you know, especially before Thursday night football kicks off.
Speaker 1: We go to Clahoma where the wind comes crashing down
Speaker 1: the plane and go to Aaron. You're dropping stats over
Speaker 1: beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Aaron, Hey, Danie,
Speaker 1: always get a document. How you doing? I'm chilling, baby,
Speaker 1: what's up? All right? I want to put a smile
Speaker 1: on your face real quick and try to Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: for a j Green because he was second in a
Speaker 1: ten man league Antonio Brown and yeah, yeah, bloody, yeah
Speaker 1: all right. But what I wanted to talk about was
Speaker 1: the future. De Marca Murray now taking the consideration, and
Speaker 1: I do Kyota. They're gonna be in healthy, they coming
Speaker 1: off this bye week, right, And if you look at
Speaker 1: this on board, an easy one. You got Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Indie, This, Arizona,
Speaker 1: San Francisco and the Ram. They're all soft to the run.
Speaker 1: They're all soft to the run except for Houston. Except
Speaker 1: for Houston. If if Murray comes out and just explode
Speaker 1: and just has a big game, do I trade this guy?
Speaker 1: Or do I had the Titan train going forward? No,
Speaker 1: I would ride in with exotic smash mouth. You just
Speaker 1: answered your own question, Aaron. You told me about their
Speaker 1: matchups moving forward, right, So why sell when you anticipate
Speaker 1: good matchups moving forward? I think the only thing you
Speaker 1: have to be concerned about is that hamstring of of
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray. Right, So that's the only thing I would
Speaker 1: worry about. That's the only news that you could get
Speaker 1: that would have me down on DeMarco Murray. But I
Speaker 1: completely agree with you. I like his matchups going forward.
Speaker 1: I'm all in on DeMarco Murray. I find no problem
Speaker 1: with that. Derrick Henry, there's a lot of buzz about him,
Speaker 1: but think about he got like thirteen yards I think
Speaker 1: in the last game. Okay, So I love DeMarco Murray. Aaron,
Speaker 1: I think you're good to go with that, and thanks
Speaker 1: for the call. Ride him until the hamstring pops, it might,
Speaker 1: but ride him until the hamstring pops. Next up on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle, my Man, we go to Taco and
Speaker 1: Obama friend of the show, A friend of the show
Speaker 1: that couldn't get on yesterday, and Holly had at me
Speaker 1: about it on Twitter. So I'm glad that he's on today.
Speaker 1: Eight Taco. How you doing It? Is good to talk
Speaker 1: to you again, Um good Man, I hope you're doing well.
Speaker 1: That trade I talked to you about on Twitter it
Speaker 1: was a no go for me. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: give up Kareem Hunt, so I ended up flipping Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones for Uh for Andy Dalton. Yeah, I like that
Speaker 1: better because here's the thing. Eventually, Time Montgomery is gonna
Speaker 1: be back in there, right. I don't think Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: has the entire backfield to himself. So I'm okay with that, Taco.
Speaker 1: What you got, Well, here's the good thing. I kept
Speaker 1: Tom Montgomery. So I have a question about tonight's game
Speaker 1: right now. I have Josh Dotson in my lineup. Uh,
Speaker 1: but two people are out there that I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: switching for. Jamison Crowder and Kenney Steels are out Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do with Kenny Stills. I go with Kenny Stills. Taco,
Speaker 1: we got news that Davante Parker is not playing, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think that means Kenny Stills is a viable option.
Speaker 1: I like Josh dockson Taco. But here's the thing, And
Speaker 1: you might have heard me say at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the show, they say they're gonna quote unquote ride the
Speaker 1: hot hand at the X receiver. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw Monday Night Football, but Terrell Pride, like Josh
Speaker 1: Dotson started on the outside for the first half, and
Speaker 1: then Terrell Pryor started for the second half. They're like
Speaker 1: splitting reps. So I don't like that, and I think
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills is viable tonight because there's no DeVante Parker. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I would take a chance, and neither one of
Speaker 1: these guys are like incredible must start options. So if
Speaker 1: you're talking about kind of like throwing stuff up against
Speaker 1: the wall and seeing if it sticks, I would take
Speaker 1: my chances with Kenny Stills over Josh Dotson this week
Speaker 1: because I think he's split in time with Terrell Prior.
Speaker 1: Sound good, Taco, appreciate it always anytime, brother man, You're
Speaker 1: always a friend. Next up, we go to Evan in Philly. Evan,
Speaker 1: how you? First of all, are you an Eagles fan?
Speaker 1: Are you ready to fly? Eagles fly? They look real good,
Speaker 1: like my man, your boys speeds and spitting statistician said
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. Second of all, I
Speaker 1: hear it's always sunny in Philadelphia? Is that true? Evan? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a little rainy today actually, But so I
Speaker 1: guess it's not always sunny. That's all right, that's all right.
Speaker 1: Let's help you out a week eight. What's going on?
Speaker 1: So I called you were on Monday buck in small hood.
Speaker 1: So I actually traded smallot for Joe Mixon. And I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if because I have Hunt week ten, so I
Speaker 1: don't want small one on the bus? Do I start?
Speaker 1: Do I start Joe Mixing? Or Jervis Landry is a flex?
Speaker 1: Is it? PPR? Yes? In PPR full point PPR. You
Speaker 1: gotta go Jarvis Landry. He's a target monster. Okay, I
Speaker 1: mean I to be honest, though, Man, I gotta tell you, Evan.
Speaker 1: I like Joe Mixon's matchup this week against Indianapolis. This
Speaker 1: could be the week he breaks out. I love Jarvis Lantry,
Speaker 1: So tell me who are you starting at running back
Speaker 1: and wide out ahead of these guys? Because you maybe
Speaker 1: should put in Mixing as like an RB two instead
Speaker 1: I have I have Hunting Kamara. Okay, fine, you're not
Speaker 1: putting in Joe Mixing? Okay? Are you putting in a
Speaker 1: wide out over Landry? Already? That Landry might be the flex.
Speaker 1: I have a functions and Tyreek Hill. I think you're
Speaker 1: doing it right with Landry at the flex. I think
Speaker 1: you're doing it right with Landry at the flex. However,
Speaker 1: check check out check out the practice reports on Funcius Tomorrow. Okay,
Speaker 1: because he's battling a little bit of an injury. If
Speaker 1: you have any doubt on Funcious, then you put in Landry.
Speaker 1: You know, and you're all but you gotta do that tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah the flex, Yeah yeah, I would. I would do that,
Speaker 1: but you know, this could be the week for Joe Mixon.
Speaker 1: So I like that move. You you use my Monday
Speaker 1: night football trick and then turned Wendel Smallwood into an
Speaker 1: ascending acid and Joe Mixon, I like that. You're listening
Speaker 1: to the Fantasy Freestyle and taking my word only. I'll
Speaker 1: only take ten percent of your winnings at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, all right, Evan, and meet me at
Speaker 1: Patty's Pub at the end of the season. Will be
Speaker 1: good to go. Thanks for the call, keeping it moving
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Up next is Jeremy down
Speaker 1: in Austin. Jeremy, what's going on? You're dropping stats over beats?
Speaker 1: How can I help you for a week? Gate? I
Speaker 1: am doing all right. I got a trade question at
Speaker 1: a full point pr um. I was offered Aaron joneses
Speaker 1: for Adam Feeling. Um, who are your other running backs? Like?
Speaker 1: Do you need Aaron Jones? That's what it comes down to.
Speaker 1: I have Melvin Gordon and Kamara and then Monty, So
Speaker 1: you don't really need Naron Jones. Who are your other
Speaker 1: white outs besides feeling? You said, um Michael Thomas, Garsone,
Speaker 1: Corey Davis and Josh Stuck. I think you need feeling
Speaker 1: on that roster, bro I think you still need feeling
Speaker 1: on your roster because Aaron Jones. Yeah, sure, that's great,
Speaker 1: but you got Kamara, You've got another stud I think
Speaker 1: I don't think you need feeling more than you need
Speaker 1: Aaron Aaron Jones. You know what I'm saying, Jeremy, you
Speaker 1: need feeling more than you need Aaron Jones. So I
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. But thanks for the called, Jeremy. I
Speaker 1: hope it works out for you. We got time for
Speaker 1: a couple more. We got James and Rolle Island. You're
Speaker 1: up next. How can I help? You're dropping stats over
Speaker 1: beats with the smitten statistician. Let's go what you got speed?
Speaker 1: Feeling good? Thank you? Sir? So um lost lost cook
Speaker 1: um scooped? Are okay? Gala day and Cup? What do
Speaker 1: you think about or Stills Tonight? I like Stills tonight.
Speaker 1: I like Stills Tonight. I like Stills Tonight yes, I do,
Speaker 1: because there's no DeVante Parker. I like Stills tonight, and
Speaker 1: for some reason, I actually think this is a game
Speaker 1: where Alor does not get into the end zone this week,
Speaker 1: as they're playing in the San Francisco forty nine is,
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna park the bus in the second half.
Speaker 1: I like Kenny Stills tonight. All right, um, unfortunately, Johnny.
Speaker 1: Give it to me real quick, Johnny. You' dropping stats
Speaker 1: over beaches. Give me a question. We're up against the break,
Speaker 1: Just tell me the question. I'm doing fine, you're doing fine.
Speaker 1: What's your question? Spot do I start? I like Garson.
Speaker 1: I love Garson's matchup this week. Okay, love Garzon. The
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles are bad against the past in the league
Speaker 1: and their first of the league against the run, and
Speaker 1: I think San fran Is gonna be down garbage time
Speaker 1: point count just the same. Give me Pierre Garson. Sorry
Speaker 1: I had to Russia, Johnny, but you got the info
Speaker 1: you needed. It's Pierre Garson all day and twice this
Speaker 1: Sunday when we come back on a fantasy freestyle. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some more fun. Come on back. We
Speaker 1: tire nice neat Little bo on this episode speeds and
Speaker 1: spitting statistician holding you down. Come On Fantasy Freestyle in Washington,
Speaker 1: Gruden says that they're gonna play the hot hand at
Speaker 1: the X wide receiver between Josh Dotson and Terrell Prior.
Speaker 1: I think with all this drama between Terrell Prior and
Speaker 1: of course Josh Dodson, I think Jamison Crowder is set
Speaker 1: and safe. He is that number two. They call it
Speaker 1: the Y wide receiver. If I also have a sneaky
Speaker 1: feeling that Tarrell Prior is in the same dog houses
Speaker 1: Kenny break Over in Cleveland weekdays from seven to a
Speaker 1: p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: It is the Fantasy Freestyle. We got a little KRS
Speaker 1: one a pavona. That must mean the theme today was
Speaker 1: the b X, the Bronx. We have Fat Joe, we
Speaker 1: had Big pun, we had KRS one dropping status over
Speaker 1: beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. Everybody who fan in the
Speaker 1: show dropping status over beats on the cipher. You love
Speaker 1: the music that we're getting, that's all my man, the
Speaker 1: manimal first Potfona. But I also want to tell you
Speaker 1: is that if you don't know, now you know Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Network and d k MS. We are collaborating to
Speaker 1: help fight against blood cancer. This year. We are, you know,
Speaker 1: doing free DFS contest for everybody at Daily Roado dot com,
Speaker 1: Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k m S And
Speaker 1: if you win any week week one through sixteen, you
Speaker 1: get entered into the finals. And week seventeen, if you
Speaker 1: win that, you win tickets for two to Super Bowl
Speaker 1: fifty two out there in Minnesota in early February. Take
Speaker 1: me with you if I'm helping you get there, all right,
Speaker 1: But what's also more important, okay, is you learn a
Speaker 1: little bit more about the disease that is blood cancer
Speaker 1: and how you can really help fight the disease. How
Speaker 1: you could really help someone struggling with that disease. You
Speaker 1: could be a blood donor, you could be a bone
Speaker 1: marrow donor. So even if you lose a DFS, you're
Speaker 1: a winner at life. You know. Before the football season,
Speaker 1: you know, we used to have to do shows in
Speaker 1: the dead of summer. I used to do a whole
Speaker 1: segment call we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and I heard a story that I really got to
Speaker 1: tell you guys about. Okay, the Venice Marathon. We don't
Speaker 1: usually talk long distance running here on the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: but the Venice Marathon happened. A guy named EO Faniel
Speaker 1: who was a twenty four year old runner one. He's
Speaker 1: an Italian runner by the way, one the Venice Marathon.
Speaker 1: Check out what happened. You know, the lead pack that's
Speaker 1: running right, and they usually have like those motorcycles in
Speaker 1: front of them and stuff like that. A group of
Speaker 1: you know, like mostly West African runners and uh, the
Speaker 1: motorcycles didn't know the root of the marathon and drove
Speaker 1: them off course by half a mile. They didn't realize
Speaker 1: they were off the marathon course for half a mile.
Speaker 1: They then had to double back the lead group right,
Speaker 1: and this is what allowed this guy, you Fanniel to
Speaker 1: get a lead that he ultimately maintained to win the
Speaker 1: race in two hours, in twelve minutes. I think this
Speaker 1: is a little shady. It's the Venice Marathon and an
Speaker 1: Italian guy one after the officials on the motorcycles diverted
Speaker 1: off course and the marathon runners that are just following
Speaker 1: the motorcycle went off course for about a half a
Speaker 1: mile and then had to double back. I think that
Speaker 1: is absolutely hysterical, Bavona, let me bring you in real quick, okay,
Speaker 1: or Venture down there the analysts one of you, guys,
Speaker 1: what do you think about this? Fair or foul? I
Speaker 1: smell a little home cooking on this one. Maybe they
Speaker 1: saw that they had all these you know, non Italians
Speaker 1: in the league group and they diverted them off the
Speaker 1: course a little bit. What do you think about that, Bivona?
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, man, this is in Italy and then
Speaker 1: Italian you know, Venture and I we understand the ideas
Speaker 1: of you know, making sure we can just shave off
Speaker 1: a couple of points. We don't do it. We do
Speaker 1: not condonate, but we understand. I understand you know where,
Speaker 1: we know where these people come from. Alright, fair enough,
Speaker 1: you thought you thought it was a little bit of
Speaker 1: strategic to make all these guys full gaze. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe they were just we're just probably getting ready to
Speaker 1: go home and eat some meat balls. Maybe they weren't there.
Speaker 1: I told you, guys, Danny Amndla his mom makes the
Speaker 1: best meatballs. Okay, but yeah, Abdullah the Wood, Gilbert Cumba,
Speaker 1: Kipelli Mutai and David Kiprono metto They went the wrong way,
Speaker 1: they said, for hundreds of meters almost half a mile.
Speaker 1: They lost two minutes of time and that's all they
Speaker 1: needed to win the race. This Italian guy, an Italian
Speaker 1: hadn't won the Venice Marathon in twenty two years. One
Speaker 1: of the runners that was taken off course still wound
Speaker 1: up finishing like third in this marathon. I think it
Speaker 1: was a little shady. I don't know, maybe not as
Speaker 1: shady as trading Akim hunt for Leonard four net y'all
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle site for know what it is
Speaker 1: and know what I'm talking about, but it's still a
Speaker 1: little bit questionable. Check it out Venice Marathon two thousand
Speaker 1: and seventeen US that good old Google machine and you
Speaker 1: could learn a little bit more about They got a
Speaker 1: video up on it at all. I think it was
Speaker 1: a little shady as though. My name is McCoy, but
Speaker 1: that's about it. Hey, we got another I don't want
Speaker 1: to be a player and more more big pun in
Speaker 1: the b X connect. You know what it is. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: run the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm gonna talk about my home dogs.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my DFS lineup. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: a Big Time Football Friday, getting you ready for a
Speaker 1: Week eight of the NFL season. It will be taking
Speaker 1: your calls as well as always. You know what it is,
Speaker 1: dropping stats over beats Right, here's the fantasy freestyle with
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. See
Speaker 1: how Tomorrow opens
