Today was starting at the quarterback position. I'm 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.039 gonna give you some diamonds in the rough that you 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.760 need to target along with my overall quarterback philosophy, so 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.759 make sure you stay tuned for that. We also had 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.880 preseason Week two. We are getting into the time of 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.320 the preseason where you start to really need to start 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.320 to pick up on some of the things the teams 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.200 are doing some competitions, whether it be at the quarterback 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.960 position or at the running back position. There is absolute 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.160 news that you need to know before your fantasy football draft. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:09.240 For example, they named a starting quarterback in Denver today. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.160 I'm gonna tell you who it is and I'm gonna 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.320 tell you what it means for their wide receivers a 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.839 little bit later on in the show. Also, whether you've 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.680 been watching or listening to the Fantasy Freestyle all summer 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.440 or not, it has been a great time to catch up. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:27.800 We have been doing an entire bracket to crown the 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:32.080 greatest sports movie of all time and we are up 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.000 to the final four. I am very excited, so we 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.720 gotta pull up right now. At F and T s 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.799 Y Radio, you could always catch me, ask me questions, 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.680 or follow me at spitting Speeds as well. We have 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.920 the Cinderella of the tournament, which is Varsity Blues, the 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.560 seventh seed in the football region, advanced to the final four. 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.600 It is in a semifinal matchup tonight with number one 0:02:55.680 --> 0:03:00.040 seed and actual Oscar winner Rocky who will advance and 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.560 the greatest sports movie of all time champion ship? Will 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.120 the Cinderella story continue? The other question I have for you, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.399 because like I said, we're gonna be discussing my quarterback 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.359 diamonds in the rough. So the question is which quarterback 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:17.040 will most overperform their current ranking. Is it Ben Roethlisberger, 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.919 is it Carson Wentz, is it Matthew Stafford? Or is 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:24.280 it the unranked Chad Henny, who I personally believe will 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.360 be the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Remember I 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.320 told you that on Friday, And while the official news 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.800 hasn't come out, beat Rowart porters are saying that there's 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.080 a fifty fifties share of snaps with the first team, 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.000 my man Chad Henny a La Vodka, maybe snatching it 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.280 from Blake Bortles. We got a lot of to discuss 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.040 right now as we dropped stats over beats. It is 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.000 the Fantasy Freestyle.

My whole while you 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.599 know what it is, speeds the spitting statistician holding you 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.560 down on a Monday. For now, all of our newest viewers, 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.960 I want to tell you a little bit about how 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.320 we get down in the show. First thing we do 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.320 here in our first segment, I give you my top 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.120 five that are alive segment. These are stories that I'm 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.800 interested in that I think are really the headlines that 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.440 may have some legs. But we first start with news 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.880 and notes around Major League Baseball and the National Football League. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.000 We're doing a little bo Jackson Dion Sanders these days 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.280 in that time where the NFL and Major League Baseball overlap. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.440 So in Major League Baseball, the Twins have placed third 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.640 baseman Miguel Sono on the disabled list because of that 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.960 shin injury he left Saturday's game, still has not come back. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.040 Wanted to see if he can get back. They are 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.920 going to put him on the d L basically to 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.760 kind of like save him from himself. But you remember 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.880 the d L is only ten days now, so a 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.760 lot of teams are using that, manipulating the disabled list 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.119 as a roster tool. Keep an eye on Miguel Sono. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.520 Rangers third basements and Joey Gallo, he may be in 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.160 the concussion protocol. If this was the NFL he had 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.960 a collision, there's still you know, he's everything is supposedly 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.039 checked out, okay, but you may want to take a 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.800 weight and see approach on Joey Gallo to see when 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.760 he comes back into that Texas Rangers lineup. Also a 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.080 note on national shortstop Trade Turner. It sounds like he 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.520 is going to start a rehab assignment at Triple A Syracuse. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.560 Remember he has now been out for a couple of 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.839 months after with that risk injury. It looks like he 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.840 might be back for the Washington Nationals by the weekend. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.080 It's funny, even after missing two months, he is still 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:35.039 the fourth rated shortstop in all of fantasy. As we 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.880 go to the NFL, though, interesting some news and notes 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.800 there and they circle around hamstring issues. Remember at the 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.480 beginning of the baseball season how everybody had hamstring injuries. Well, 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.640 it looks like the same thing at this point in 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.599 training camp, a lot of hamstring injuries. For example, Jets 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.640 running back Matt Forte. They are now saying he is 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.000 not definite for Week one. He has a hamstring injury. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.760 I would watch this situation closely. I think this is 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.240 a wind up being balal Powell's running back room, because 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.640 if you're Matt Forte, right, and you're an aging veteran, 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.080 why would you rush it your hamstring for a team that, 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.000 by all accounts is tanking. I don't think Matt Forte 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.560 is gonna play much this year for the j E 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.240 T s. Just I think it's gonna be all boom 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:23.560 boom bilal pal pal in Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron, 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.320 he is still out with a hamstring injury. He's not 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.200 practicing this week, and you know he's gonna been a 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.160 guy that a lot of people think is gonna have 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.200 a breakout campaign. Well, if he misses the majority of 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.720 training camp, building that rapport with Matt Stafford, figuring out 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.040 how to be an improved weapon in the red zone 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.080 and on third down to take away all the opportunity 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.560 that retired and Kwan Bolden used to have, then he 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.120 needs to get on the field. Speaking of retired and 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.760 Kwan Bolden, you may be like, you know speed, you 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.960 got it wrong because he signed with the Buffalo Bills. No, no, no, 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.160 then you are clearly not up to date. Be as 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.640 an Kwan Bolden has once again retired from the NFL 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.600 after a two week stint with the Buffalo Bills. I 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.000 was telling you this was not a good fit. He 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.240 was saying he wanted to play for a contender and 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.440 he wanted to be down south. I don't think the 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.920 Buffalo Bills check either one of those boxes. I bring 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.520 this up though, because now that an Kwon Bolden has gone, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.360 now that they traded away Sammy Watkins, that means that 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:30.240 the rookies Z Jones needs to shoot up your draft board. Okay, 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.760 I know guys on the Fantasy Sports Network, guys like 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.040 Matt Modica and guys like Mike Florio, they have been 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.400 high on Za Jones for a while. It looks like 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.200 all the other options there are no longer in Buffalo, 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.640 so z A Jones maybe the answer. Even Jordan Matthews, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.160 who they traded for as a chest injury. He is 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.400 week to week. The Broncos, as I mentioned, named their 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.880 starting quarterback and it is seventh round draft picked Trevor 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.120 Simeon out of Northwestern. This is an interesting sig know 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.959 because it means that Paxton Lynch the first round draft pick, 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.920 who they like and who they want to grow and 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.760 become the starter is not ready yet. So Trevor Simmeon 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.040 is kind of your you know, he's kind of your 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.640 game manager quarterback. He's not the home run guy, but 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.959 it doesn't have the arm strength, but he's good enough 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.400 to start for the Denver Broncos. Also, in something that 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.400 I've been talking about all last week when we profile 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.480 the a f C South and on Friday show. After 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.959 that ridiculous preseason game that Jacksonville was in last week, 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.040 beat reporters for the Jaguars are now saying that down 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.120 at camp, the reps are being split fifty fifty from 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.040 Blake Bortles and Chad Henny to be the starting quarterback 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.200 for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I've told you once, I'll say 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.480 it again. Chad Henny is going to be the starting 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.240 quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And I bet you that 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.560 news comes out the day after their next preseason game 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.480 this week. All right, I also want to talk to 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.360 you guys abou out some of the most important what 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.840 I think are takeaways from Week two of the preseason. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.360 Last week. There are a couple of games I want 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.240 to key in on on my top five dead or 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.400 alive that I think are important things to note. And 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.880 we start in the game that was the Seattle Seahawks 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.440 and the Minnesota Vikings. I'm gonna tell you here. If 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.760 you listen to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, you hear 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.440 guys like Jake Seeley, you have here, guys like Joe Pizzapia. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.400 You hear guys like Corey Parson, the Fantasy executive. You've 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.560 probably heard that Dalvin Cook is shooting up draft boards. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.360 Well against the starting defense for the Seattle Seahawks, which 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.280 is pretty robust. He had seven carries for forty yards. 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.840 He also had a ten yard reception. This against the 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.600 first team. I'm here to tell you that Dalvin Cook 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.320 is worth it. He is shooting up draft boards for 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.120 good reason. I think he's going to be a true 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.960 stud and a three down back for the Minnesota Vikings 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.839 this year. Remember Lettavius Murray still coming back from that 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.880 ankle injury. Also on Minnesota. You know who else was 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:02.160 impressive against the Seahawks first team d defense, Stephen Can 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.400 you digs it four catches for sixty five yards and 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.640 this was like in the first couple of drives against 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:13.480 the legion of Boom. Granted they were attacking second cornerback, 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:18.040 not Richard Sherman, but Stefon Diggs has incredible breakout potential, 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.160 especially in p PR leagues this year. On the flip side, 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.640 Eddie Lacey, who I who I call feast Mode, the 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.120 guy who's trying to replace beast Mode in Seattle but 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.240 needs to make weight in order to get fifty clauses. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.720 Their clauses are in that contract because Eddie Leasy and 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.240 his Chinese food are in fact feast Mode. He was 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.240 unimpressive if you want to if you ask me, he 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.520 was not looking good. When six carries for twenty yards, 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.040 that's an average of about three and a half per carry. 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.040 I think Thomas Rawls should shoot up draft boards a 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.280 little bit. I do not trust Eddie Lacey to strangle 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.560 this job. I think Thomas Rawls will be part of 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.400 a committee. And to be quite honest, with the impact 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.920 of the offensive line that happened last week with George 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.600 Front getting injured tearing the a c L being out 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.760 for the year, the Seattle Seahawks offensive line is an issue. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.320 I don't think Eddie Lacy is the right fit of 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.480 a kind of back there. The other one point I 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.960 do want to make about this game. You know, I've 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.960 been talking about the national anthem and Michael Bennett was 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.079 outspoken about this. Well, in this game, the center Justin 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.160 Britt was over there with him with his hand on 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.200 his shoulder as this move of solidarity. Remember Chris Long 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.000 did the same thing in Philadelphia earlier on in the week. 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.800 And it's gonna be interesting to see how the nevorative shifts, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.880 if at all, now that white players are also supporting 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.880 their African American teammates who take this stand during the 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.600 national anthem. Just something to look at as we continue 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.040 to talk here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.760 winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I mentioned to you in 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.200 that Denver San Francisco game, Trevor Simeon has been named 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.800 the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. He went eight 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.760 of eleven okay through a touchdown pass for ninety three 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.040 yards PAX, which had three scoring drives. Also, but here's 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.080 the thing, he only threw for thirty nine yards in 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.440 thirteen attempts. It was actually simmonon Simeon who was able 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.600 to move the ball down the field. I want to 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.840 talk about what I saw on the San Francisco side 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.960 of things, and though two things guys that I have 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.240 been talking about for a while on the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.240 The first is Carlos Hide. He ran with the starters, 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.880 but we only had eight carries for twenty six yards. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.360 I have been telling you I believe Joe Williams and 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.200 their late round draft pick is the actual back to own. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.400 This is a guy Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, the 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.920 new regime there they advocated for went up to get 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.920 Joe Williams. I don't think Carlos Hide is the fit. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.880 If you're having your fantasy football drafts this week or 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.160 this weekend, I'm telling you fade Carlos Hide. He is 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.960 a fantasy fool gazey this year for the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.040 I do not think he's a guy you need. I 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.800 think by the end of the season it's gonna be 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.000 Joe Williams. That's the back to own for San Francisco. Also, 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.640 a big shout out to my guy tight end Joy Kittle. 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.080 This is a guy, a deep, deep sleeper, but he 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.800 did have an impressive touchdown catch. Had three catches for 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.320 thirty three yards. I liked that as well. A couple 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.240 more games that I want to talk about. This Kansas 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:17.280 City Cincinnati game, Patty Mahomes Man, Patty Mahomes was accurate. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.600 He was making Rose on the moveive. He pushed the 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.720 ball downfield at two touchdown passes. And again, this is 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.480 the kind of situation the chief server and they have 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.400 Alex and Smith, who's like that elite game manager if 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.520 those even go together, elite game manager. But the Chiefs 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.840 were the two seed last year, the two seed for 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:39.440 a team that couldn't get past an average Pittsburgh Steelers 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.800 defense to get to the a f C Championship game. 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.240 I think there's growing buzz that the Chiefs have maxed 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.480 out their potential with Alex Smith under center. Keep an 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:52.280 eye on Patty Mahomes on the other side for Houston. Listen. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.040 I know Deshaun Watson was once again exciting. He had 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.200 a rushing t D, but he was only three of ten. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.520 It should be Tom Savage that starts. I know Andre 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.560 Hopkins wants Tom Savage to start. I think Tom Savage 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.240 will be the starting quarterback. He went eight of nine 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.760 for nine yards and a touchdown. I don't think this 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.760 is a real competition to start the year. Tom Savage 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:16.160 will be under center for the Houston Texans in my opinion, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.040 when the season starts. Hey, listen up. When we come 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.560 back here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Okay, we're gonna do 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.200 a couple of things, but we're gonna get back all 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.320 right after this, he rose and there's legends to the 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.320 followers of his fantasy advice.

Hey, Chris, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.720 let's bring in the watch of the listener. I believe 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.520 it's about it's Demetrius has a question about Doug Martin. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:19.200 Is that right? Hey? How you doing your own Fantasy freestyle? Hey? 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.880 That's going on? Man? What's going on? What's your question? Yeah? 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.240 I just had a quick question about Doug Martin. I 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.760 know we um kind of impressed in the preseason game 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.639 that he played. Um, I know he's going kind of 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.159 late in draft, maybe like seventh or eighth. Brown and 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.480 the Mico draft that I've done. Uh, you think he 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.479 would be a good pickup, and also um Jock Lees Rogers, 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.800 you think he's worth the pick up starting the um 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.880 first three games. Sure, here's the thing when it comes 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.639 to Tampa Bay. And thanks for the calling in, Demetrius 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.400 Um as you know. As you mentioned at the very end, 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.520 part of the reason Doug martin Is is down on 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.399 draft boards is because he is going to miss the 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.320 first three games with that suspension. Right. Yes, he's looked good, 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.160 they say in camp, and I'm hearing conflicting reports. Okay, 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.960 my man, jacquiz pop quiz jacquiz Rogers is a guy 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.480 who they are now saying may not relinquish the starting 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.879 job if he looks good. So when you're getting a 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.840 guy like you said in kind of the seventh round, 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.879 I think there are other guys in that area, a 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.760 guy like for example, Balao pal who will be the 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.960 unquestioned starter for the New York Jets. You have other 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.440 guys in that range, guys like Danny Woodhead who may 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.800 still be available, who is a monster in PPR leagues. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.480 If even down in the seventh or eighth round, I'm 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.359 looking for a guy who is gonna be on the field, 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.120 and with Tampa Bay, they are saying that he may 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.359 not necessarily reclaim the starting job in Tampa after that 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.040 three game suspension. That's enough risk for me to stay 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.960 away from Doug Martin. So I'm fading Doug Martin. Doug 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.080 Martin will not be on any of my teams, especially 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:58.760 at the seventh or eighth round. That's what we got there. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.400 So remember that's the Metrius I'm hoping that I'm helping 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.439 him out. You can call it if you want. At 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.200 eight four four, eight four, three, six, eight, seven nine, 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.600 Demetrius asked about running backs. Okay, and there's so many options, 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.280 whether it's in Tampa Bay or otherwise. You know, you 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.920 gotta look for certainty. However, later on in your drafts, 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.919 especially or in dynasty drafts, you need to look for 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.760 guys that have some upside and that might be viable 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.920 later on in the season or even for next year. 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.520 Let me tell you about two guys real quick, before 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.120 we get to our quarterbacks. Let me tell you about 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.720 two guys who I thought had great weeks and I'm 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.280 actually cheering for. These are guys I'm rooting for. The 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.760 first is in Pittsburgh. I'm talking about James Conner. This 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.000 guy at twenty carries for ninety eight yards okay, also 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.000 at three yards in the receiving games, over a hundred 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.320 yards in a preseason game. This is a guy who's 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.439 overcome um hoskinsins in foam up and a kind of 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.359 gruesome a c L injury. He is going to be 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.399 the handcuff for levy On Bell. Remember he went to Pittsburgh. 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.200 Now playing for Pittsburgh, the crowd is gonna love him. Also, 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:04.080 remember Levan Bell has that UM contract cloud hovering over him. 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.879 James Conner might be the Steelers back next year. Okay, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.600 and also remember what D'Angelo Williams did in the opportunity 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.680 he had backing up Levy on Bell, whether through injury 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.440 or suspension. I think James Connor is a very interesting 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.520 statch late on in your drafts. Another guy is in 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.359 the New Orleans Saints, Alvin Kamara. Alvin Kamara showed signs 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.040 of why the Saints brass went up and drafted him 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.879 out of Tennessee. He had one ridiculous touchdown run right 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.560 down the sidelines, another twenty two year old yard catch. 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.800 I feel bad for Kamara because they signed Adrian Peterson's 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.080 and in effort, in essence, that is going to block 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:42.920 Alvin Kamara. But in the future, watch out for Alvin Kamara, 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.639 the rookie out of Tennessee for the New Orleans and Saints. Alright, 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:48.880 let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle where 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.320 we dropped stats over beats. I told you we're shifting 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:55.199 a little bit because fantasy football drafts are coming so quickly. 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.920 They're fast and furious. There's even somebody right here at 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.360 Studio thirty four at Rock and Riley's there having their 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.680 draft right now. So if you ever want to ask 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.040 me draft questions, you can do that at A four 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.399 four eight, four, three six seven nine. You could also 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.719 follow me at spitting speeds on Twitter. I'll get definitely 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.919 get back to you. But there are some quarterbacks that 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:14.760 I think are diamonds in the rough. We're gonna start 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.320 with our quarterbacks and we're gonna go position by position 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:18.719 over the course of the next couple of weeks. We're 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.960 gonna first to our diamonds. Then we're gonna do our 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.520 for gazes, the guys that you need to forget about. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.640 For the two thousand and seventeen season when I look 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:27.919 at quarterback. First of all, let me give you my 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:32.280 thesis on quarterback. You need to be the last guy 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.920 or gal in your league to draft a quarterback. There 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.600 is no reasonson to spend up for the Aaron Rodgers, 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.240 the Drew Brees, the Tom Brady's of the world. The 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.200
