Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Network. You already know what it is. I am
Speaker 1: your host, I am the Shepherd of the stats over
Speaker 1: beat Cipher, and we got another great Fantasy Freestyle for
Speaker 1: you today. All Right, there's a lot of stuff going on. Okay.
Speaker 1: Last week, since we have last spoken, there was week
Speaker 1: three of the preseason, the dress rehearsal as it were. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I am going to give you all the news
Speaker 1: and notes you need, all the kind of takeaways from
Speaker 1: the third week of the preseason. We're also gonna, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: have to talk about some of the injuries that took
Speaker 1: place and who I believe maybe next man up in
Speaker 1: some of them. Okay. I got a question from a
Speaker 1: listener the other day asking about best ball targets as well.
Speaker 1: My man Dez out there on Twitter asked me about
Speaker 1: best all targets. So we are going to talk about
Speaker 1: that on this edition of the Fantasy Freestyle. Okay. And
Speaker 1: like I said, and as always, we're gonna put the
Speaker 1: fun in functional Sports Radio a little bit later on
Speaker 1: in the show. But my man Danny Otto down there
Speaker 1: from the fantasy pit of misery, Dilly dilly to everybody.
Speaker 1: I'm already in the chat room, already got people with
Speaker 1: the stats over beat Cipher getting down, Jeremy McMahon, Dilly
Speaker 1: dilly to you listen, Henry or Hogan in the Flex
Speaker 1: Week one. These are the questions that we're asking about.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. For me, it's still Chris Hogan,
Speaker 1: especially with no Julian Edelman. And I really like Dion
Speaker 1: Lewis in Tennessee. I think he's gonna be a problem,
Speaker 1: uh down there in Tennessee as it relates to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the Derrick Henry touches an opportunity. Will be
Speaker 1: monitoring the chats. My man Lanz Davis knows how we
Speaker 1: put the fun and functional sports radio. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into that. My Man Danny's gonna let us know
Speaker 1: all those questions and I'll get at you with them
Speaker 1: later on in the show. But we also have though,
Speaker 1: First of all, we gotta pull question that I want
Speaker 1: to touch base on right now. The question is which
Speaker 1: Jaguars wide receiver will lead the team in receiving this year.
Speaker 1: Who is the best fantasy football option as a pass
Speaker 1: catcher for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And that is a question
Speaker 1: because Mark He's Lee has been gone and it's going
Speaker 1: to I r okay that knee injury that took place
Speaker 1: in um, you know, in the game in Week three
Speaker 1: and it's caused a little bit of controversy. And here's why.
Speaker 1: The thing is, if you see the defender going he's
Speaker 1: going low. The defenders are now going to have to
Speaker 1: lower their strike zone. They're not allowed to hit you
Speaker 1: in the head, they're not allowed to hit you up high,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna start aiming lower. They can't even hit
Speaker 1: you in the chaster in the stomach because they're worried
Speaker 1: about offensive players like lowering their helmet, and it's still
Speaker 1: getting called on the defender. Okay, so you gotta have
Speaker 1: the strike zone, the target area for defenders be low.
Speaker 1: And you know what's gonna happen. Guys are gonna get
Speaker 1: their m F knees blown out all season long. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, there is going to be an
Speaker 1: increased in a c LS this year because the defenders
Speaker 1: can't go high, so they're gonna go low. And that
Speaker 1: is what befelled markis Lee and Jacksonville. So my question
Speaker 1: for you is this, who is now the number one
Speaker 1: target in Jacksonville? Is it Dante Moncrief, Yeaman yemen Crief,
Speaker 1: is it Keelan Cole who came on at the end
Speaker 1: of last year. Is it d d. Westbrook, who's been
Speaker 1: something of a forgotten man. Does he now get to
Speaker 1: be right back as one of those starters or is
Speaker 1: it the rookie d J. Chark out of l s
Speaker 1: U who some people are high on. I think personally
Speaker 1: he's a foodasy. You need to forget about him. The
Speaker 1: other thing I'd say as relates to this, I think
Speaker 1: someone who could be in line for a little bit
Speaker 1: of a boost and I would move him up my
Speaker 1: rankings is the Rastafari, Austin Safari and Jenkins. If you remember,
Speaker 1: they spent money on this tight end in the off season,
Speaker 1: and you know it's not like they want Blake Bordles
Speaker 1: growing on the ball downfield much anyway, So maybe he
Speaker 1: reverts to his security blanket a little bit more. I
Speaker 1: like Austin Sefari and Jenkins as a little bit of
Speaker 1: a bump to be a real solid tight end too
Speaker 1: for your fantasy teams. This year is a bye week
Speaker 1: filling because also, someone asked me on Twitter, what about Dez?
Speaker 1: Is this a landing spot for Dez? I don't think so.
Speaker 1: And here's why. For me, it's because the Jaguars listen,
Speaker 1: they want to run the ball of the time anyway,
Speaker 1: right there, there's times when they've literally said that they
Speaker 1: want Blake Borders during the ball like ten times or less.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars won games last year with Blake Borders completing
Speaker 1: less than ten passes. Okay, so it's not like all
Speaker 1: of a sudden there's gonna be production to go around
Speaker 1: in the Jaguars passing game, all right. I like Austin
Speaker 1: Seferian Jenkins. For me, it would be Dante Moncrief as
Speaker 1: the guy who steps up and shows out in Marki's
Speaker 1: Lee's stead. That unfortunately, is not the only injury to discuss.
Speaker 1: Since we spoke last, Giants tight end Evan Ingram was concussed.
Speaker 1: He was in the concussion protocol. He seems to be alright.
Speaker 1: This doesn't seem to be a long term thing. But
Speaker 1: the question is, you know, Old Dell gets his In
Speaker 1: New York, he got his, uh figuratively and literally. Odell
Speaker 1: signed a five year, ninety five million dollar extension, sixty
Speaker 1: five million of which is guaranteed. Uh So props to him.
Speaker 1: And you know Odell is gonna get paid. You know,
Speaker 1: Odell is gonna get his. You know, se Kwan is
Speaker 1: gonna get his. For me, It really comes down to
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and Sterling Shepherd. One of these two guys
Speaker 1: is really going to sacrifice from what they had last year,
Speaker 1: and one of these two guys is really gonna underwhelm
Speaker 1: and underperform their a DP. In my opinion, my money
Speaker 1: is that it's on Ingram, but I can see people
Speaker 1: thinking that it might be Sterling Shepherd. There's just not
Speaker 1: enough to go around in New York now. With s
Speaker 1: Quon and Odell there as well, they may become one
Speaker 1: of those good old fantasy herds. Another tight end in
Speaker 1: the news today in Baltimore, Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst,
Speaker 1: the first round pick all right out of South Carolina.
Speaker 1: He is out with a toe injury. He's gonna miss
Speaker 1: the next three to four weeks. Okay, so that goes
Speaker 1: into the regular season. So we got to talk about
Speaker 1: other options there in in Baltimore. It's gonna be Crabtree,
Speaker 1: all right, It's gonna be Willie Snead, and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be John Brown as the wide receivers. I'm still not
Speaker 1: on these tight ends, but don't get it twisted. Think
Speaker 1: about a guy like Kenneth Dixon out of the backfield
Speaker 1: as well. In there for Baltimore. I always say you
Speaker 1: don't want these rookie tight ends anyway. Now another reason
Speaker 1: to stay away from Hayden Hurst and those Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: tight ends. All right, um more injury news. Listen up
Speaker 1: there in Seattle. Okay, a couple of things. We're hearing
Speaker 1: that Doug Baldwin, he's working his way back. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be okay for week one, but they're now saying that
Speaker 1: this is something he's gonna have to manage all season long.
Speaker 1: Baldwin himself puts himself at eight five percent, and he's
Speaker 1: just gonna grin and Barrett, here's the thing. Baldwin was
Speaker 1: already on the side of thirty. Baldwin was ready entering
Speaker 1: I believe his ninth NFL season, it might be his
Speaker 1: eighth um and he's the only option there really anyway
Speaker 1: in the passing game unless you believe in Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 1: I believe he's a nice piece, but not something dependable.
Speaker 1: Similar with Brandon Marshall, Similar with any of their running
Speaker 1: backs out of the backfield. Similar with like if you
Speaker 1: believe in Ed Vanette or someone that's out there, Baldwin
Speaker 1: is still going to be that dude. For Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: the question is can he manage it? He's gonna grit
Speaker 1: it out, So you want to keep an eye out
Speaker 1: on that. Someone who is not going to be gritting
Speaker 1: it out. His linebacker kJ Wright. kJ Wright had a
Speaker 1: knee procedure yesterday. Okay, it's gonna be real hard in
Speaker 1: my opinion, for him to make make week one. Okay,
Speaker 1: So look over at my bookie dot A g and
Speaker 1: you see the Seattle Seahawks are in Denver to take
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. That is a tough non conference road
Speaker 1: game to start anyway. Now we know they might not
Speaker 1: have Earl Thomas because his holdout. You know, Sherman is gone.
Speaker 1: You know, Chancellor is retired. They've lost Michael Bennett that
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of pieces missing from that
Speaker 1: Seattle defense. And a lot of people were just saying,
Speaker 1: it's okay they have Bobby Wagner and kJ Wright still
Speaker 1: in the middle of that linebacking corps. Now they don't
Speaker 1: have kJ Wright either. It's gonna be shocked. Griffin. Okay,
Speaker 1: the one armed rookie out of Central Florida that is
Speaker 1: in line to start behind k J. Wright, so great
Speaker 1: news for him. The Griffin brothers may both be in
Speaker 1: the starting line for the Seahawks in the first week
Speaker 1: of the season, but I think this is a problem
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks. I like Denver in that game
Speaker 1: over on my bookie dot a g and listen, stay
Speaker 1: away from the Seattle defense. Okay, they are not what
Speaker 1: you thought they were based on the kind of the
Speaker 1: name recognition. Okay. I'm gonna be doing my defensive Diamonds
Speaker 1: in the Rough and fool Gazes on Thursday's show, a
Speaker 1: fantasy freestyle, so make sure you keep it locked for that.
Speaker 1: If you want to chime into the show, though, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of ways you can do it, all right.
Speaker 1: You can hit me up on Twitter at spitting speeds.
Speaker 1: What you could do is you could be in the
Speaker 1: chat room right now. Okay, we got a lot of people,
Speaker 1: Um yeah, someone first of all, right, now, um, Henry
Speaker 1: Henderson is asking about Trey Burton. Burton is not a
Speaker 1: sleeper anymore. Okay, people are not sleeping on Trey Burton,
Speaker 1: all right. People are investing in Trey Burton. The Bears
Speaker 1: invested four were years thirty two million in Trey Burton.
Speaker 1: He's gonna play that Travis Kelsey role in the Mattenege
Speaker 1: Kansas City Philadelphia season. I love Trey Burton for me,
Speaker 1: Trey Burton is a my tight end eight. Okay, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to spend to get him. So I agree
Speaker 1: with the people out there Lanz Davis and all telling
Speaker 1: you that he is not a sleeper. People know about him,
Speaker 1: um under the radar. You know, there's Ricky Seals, Jones.
Speaker 1: I talked about Austin Safari and Jenkins. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: don't get a twist to think about um Vance McDonald
Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Okay, when he was healthy with
Speaker 1: Big Ben in the playoffs, he had a seven for
Speaker 1: one ten game. That's the kind of uh guy that
Speaker 1: might be a sleeper for you if you believe in
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh offense. Vance McDonald. Remember they've been trying to
Speaker 1: um replace Heath Miller as that tight end for Big
Speaker 1: Ben for a long long time. I think he could
Speaker 1: be someone helping to do it. But Burton, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to spend up for Okay. I like what the
Speaker 1: people are saying there in terms of Ricky Steels Jones
Speaker 1: and some others for the number one pick. I personally
Speaker 1: have Lev Bell over David Johnson or Todd Gurley. That's
Speaker 1: uh two, guru fan. I'm big on Um, I'm big
Speaker 1: on left Bell. He's still my number one, al right,
Speaker 1: He's still my number one. All right. In any event,
Speaker 1: let's keep it moving here with the news and the
Speaker 1: notes that I have been given you what I wanted
Speaker 1: to mention. Also in Buffalo, they haven't declared their starting
Speaker 1: quarterback just yet, all right. McDermott out there is like,
Speaker 1: remember a J. McCarron has the injury with the shoulders still,
Speaker 1: they thought Josh Allen was gonna be that dude. They
Speaker 1: let Josh Allen start the third preseason game. Josh Allen
Speaker 1: got brutalized, okay, and a lot of it is because
Speaker 1: of that offensive line that he's in front of. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they want to subject the young rookie
Speaker 1: prize kid to that kind of punishment. I'm reminded of
Speaker 1: the Derek Carr. Was it David Carr? David Carr, the
Speaker 1: older one who played for the Houston Texans, got sacked
Speaker 1: something like fifty five times in his rookie season and
Speaker 1: then got skittish in the pocket. They don't want that.
Speaker 1: For Josh Allen, I think it could be Nate Peterman
Speaker 1: and uh for that reason, I'm big on the Baltimore
Speaker 1: Ravens as a Week one play and as a Week
Speaker 1: one defensive d f S play against the Bills. Remember
Speaker 1: Peterman had five picks in his loan start for them
Speaker 1: last year in one half against the Chargers before they
Speaker 1: went back to Tarrod Taylor. All Right, um news today,
Speaker 1: and I brought this up. I brought this up last week.
Speaker 1: That's why you gotta listen to the Fantasy Freestyle. Your
Speaker 1: boy speedes ha spitting statistician keeps you ahead of the
Speaker 1: curve so you can win your leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the cipher knows this. I was talking about
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey last week and I said that they're the
Speaker 1: news was not good on him. I say, bump up
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. I said, bump up Nelson Aghalore, and I
Speaker 1: said keep an eye on Mike Wallace. Now news comes
Speaker 1: out today that al Shan Jeffrey is now set to
Speaker 1: miss at least two games in his return from the
Speaker 1: shoulder procedure that he had in the off season. Al
Speaker 1: Shan Jeffrey has notoriously had soft tissue injuries for a long,
Speaker 1: long time, all right, So I'm worried about this al
Speaker 1: Shon Jeffrey Nonsense, I'm worried about the Eagles, not long term,
Speaker 1: but al Shan banged up. J A. G i E
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced in over a week because of a knee condition.
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz doesn't look like he'll make the opener either,
Speaker 1: all right, So give me Atlanta plus four is what
Speaker 1: it looks like in that season opener. I know there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of enthusiasm in the building in
Speaker 1: Philly as they raise a banner, but they're gonna be
Speaker 1: on backup quarterback, backup running back, back, up wide receiver
Speaker 1: um and a lot of people think Matt Ryan is
Speaker 1: in prime than in position for a bounce back year.
Speaker 1: You can count me among them. I kind of like
Speaker 1: what the Falcons are doing. More news and notes. Davante
Speaker 1: Parker is not still yet clear to catch a football.
Speaker 1: Oh that was the reason, because he wasn't catching football's anyway.
Speaker 1: I think this is a problem now for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: To me, this all goes to Kenny Stills I have
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills and no DFS Week one lineup that I'm
Speaker 1: tinkering with right now. Kenny Stills is the number one
Speaker 1: wide receiver in my opinion for the Miami Dolphins. And
Speaker 1: you can get Kenny Stills in the eighth, ninth round.
Speaker 1: He is a value at that point. He will lead
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in receiving. You can mark it down stats
Speaker 1: over beat Cipher. Kenny Stills will lead the Dolphins in receiving.
Speaker 1: You can get him in the eighth round. Not a
Speaker 1: nice guy to target a little bit later on if
Speaker 1: you go running back heavy early on, if you have
Speaker 1: a Julian Edelman or something like that and you need
Speaker 1: another wide out down later in the draft. If you
Speaker 1: were saddled early in the draft with an Alshon Jeffrey
Speaker 1: or Marquis Lee, Kenny Stills is a name you need
Speaker 1: to know those guys that are still not cleared. Someone
Speaker 1: who came back to practice today um earlier this week
Speaker 1: was Sony Michelle. Sony Michelle, New England Patriots running back
Speaker 1: coming back from that knee procedure. He had a couple
Speaker 1: all of weeks ago. Looks like he's trending to be
Speaker 1: able to suit up Week one. He is high um
Speaker 1: in the minds of the Patriots running back coach. They
Speaker 1: like him a lot. The organization, remember, invested a first
Speaker 1: round draft pick on Sony Michelle. I think that tells
Speaker 1: you all you need to know about how Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: feels about this. Sony Michelle, by you know, the middle
Speaker 1: of the season, could be a workhorse back for the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Let me say that again. Sony Michelle could be a
Speaker 1: workhorse back for the Patriots. Rex Burkhead is dealing with
Speaker 1: a slight tear in his knee. Mike Gilliesley and Jeremy
Speaker 1: Hill are splitting goal line work. If whicheveryone makes the roster.
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden is a special teamer. James White is the
Speaker 1: past catching back. Sony Michelle is going to be this
Speaker 1: early down back and if he's healthy and in the mix,
Speaker 1: it could happen sooner rather than later. Last thing I
Speaker 1: want to mention here, Uh, there was a trade in
Speaker 1: the NFL, and there's not usually trades much in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer was traded from the Cowboys to the Steelers.
Speaker 1: I don't think this rates much in anything unless you
Speaker 1: have think like return yards, special teams kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a return man. A b is the one,
Speaker 1: Juju is the two, James Washington is the three. Lev
Speaker 1: Bell is getting targets. I think Vans McDonald's getting targets
Speaker 1: as well. Switzer does not have a home in the offense,
Speaker 1: but if you need something on special teams, he is
Speaker 1: a guy there and he's gonna be there for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I think taking the burden off of Antonio Brown, off
Speaker 1: of Juju Smith's users so they can focus on the offense.
Speaker 1: Last piece of news um Andrew Luck apparently got banged
Speaker 1: up in their third preseason game. It's not his shoulder,
Speaker 1: but his foot, Okay, so keep an eye out on that.
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is one of the guys who get some
Speaker 1: production there in their rushing game. Not gonna be the
Speaker 1: case right now. They say it's a minor thing, something
Speaker 1: to keep your eye on. If you drafted and you
Speaker 1: are up all night to get lucky. We are often
Speaker 1: running on the fantasy freestyle. Remember hit me up on Twitter,
Speaker 1: hit me up in the chat room. We're gonna answer
Speaker 1: some of your questions. And like I said, when we
Speaker 1: come back, I'm gonna do some best ball targets because
Speaker 1: my man Dez out there on Twitter wants to know
Speaker 1: who I like at different best ball targets for different
Speaker 1: positions and what I take away from preseason week three.
Speaker 1: We also answer some of your questions from the chat
Speaker 1: room props to the stats over beat cipher, dilly dilly

Speaker 1: how to be part of the stats over beat Cipher.
Speaker 1: I also want to tell you, guys, I've been saying it. Um,
Speaker 1: I've been saying it before guys. As you know, and
Speaker 1: the status with beat Cipher knows. I try very hard
Speaker 1: to answer literally everybody question that I get on Twitter,
Speaker 1: but I gotta tell everybody, I'm starting to get bombarded, okay,
Speaker 1: and I can only do so much. I got a
Speaker 1: lot of things working. So the best way to get
Speaker 1: guaranteed answers to your questions from me is over at Patreon. Okay,
Speaker 1: subscribe to me on Patreon. I prioritize those folks. I
Speaker 1: answer those questions. First, I guarantee responses if you subscribe
Speaker 1: to me on Patreon, okay, and hit me up there.
Speaker 1: If you then still hit me up on Twitter with
Speaker 1: a little stats over be tashtag, I I will respond
Speaker 1: to you, but it is very, very hard for me
Speaker 1: to get to everybody. That's why you gotta tune in,
Speaker 1: be in the chat room and hit me up. All right,
Speaker 1: but please, if you want my insights, Patreon is a
Speaker 1: place to go. I guarantee responses there for my subscribers.
Speaker 1: Everybody else, I try to get to you, but sometimes
Speaker 1: I get bombarded over the weekend, and you know I
Speaker 1: got things to do also, so let me get in
Speaker 1: some of these questions. Jeremy mcmc McMahon, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: is having a good old time. He's for twenty in
Speaker 1: and up over there, says Cole or Hearns and Watson
Speaker 1: or a s J. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1: But if it's Watson, as in Deshaun Watson, then the
Speaker 1: answer is that period um Taco is out there asking
Speaker 1: me tread Cohen or Chris Carson. If it's PPR, I
Speaker 1: like to read Cohen. If it's PPR, I like to
Speaker 1: read Cohen. Okay, um, I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: PPR stud for you this year. Chris Carson, I like,
Speaker 1: but I do still think Rashad Penny over time when
Speaker 1: you need him in the fantasy playoffs is going to
Speaker 1: be the starting running back in Seattle by November. Okay.
Speaker 1: So that's what gives me a little bit of cause
Speaker 1: for pause on Chris Carson. He's asking me, also, Taco,
Speaker 1: you're asking me about Marquis Goodwin or Keelan Cole. Give
Speaker 1: me Marky's Goodwin. Goodwin was the number one wide receiver
Speaker 1: for Jimmy g Right. And just here's what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. I'm taking the San Francisco passing offense ahead
Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville passing offense. Okay, I don't care if
Speaker 1: Mark's Lee is gone. And I said this at the
Speaker 1: top of the show. It is still Blake Bortles under center,
Speaker 1: and they want Blake Bortles competing ten passes a game.
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's enough to go around, all right.
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm still not, you know, targeting any
Speaker 1: of these Jacksonville wide receivers. Brown Hammer is asking Jonathan
Speaker 1: Williams or Sutton which must be Courtland Sutton. For me,
Speaker 1: I'm not really high on any of them. Jonathan Williams,
Speaker 1: they'll remember when Ingram is back, I don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna do much of anything. So for that, give me
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton. I like Courtland Sutton in Dynasty formats as
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos wide receiver. He's the wide receiver three
Speaker 1: right now. This is a guy with the skill set
Speaker 1: coming out of s m U. People liked him as
Speaker 1: one of the best wide receivers in the draft. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I've said this before on this air with my
Speaker 1: man's Scotty Angle on Rhodo Experts in the morning. By
Speaker 1: the way, I get that Rhodo Experts Exclusive Edge Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football package enter promo code the King at checkout. Um
Speaker 1: both Damarius Thomas and Manny Sanders. I believe we're gonna
Speaker 1: be free agents at the end of the year, so
Speaker 1: that means there's opportunity for Sutton next year to really
Speaker 1: be one of these starting wide receivers. I like Sutton
Speaker 1: over Williams Williams. To me, there's nothing especially when um
Speaker 1: Mark Henry gets back. D Gold fifteen is asking Henry
Speaker 1: or Murray in standard. UM. For me, it's Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: I can only assume Murray is let Tavis Murray, and
Speaker 1: to me, Henry is the early down guy. Although I
Speaker 1: like Dion Lewis for Latin Murray, I think he's just
Speaker 1: a guy. I think they're gonna try and make Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook b a uh you know, a big time a
Speaker 1: big time dude, shall we say, for the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: I believe Dalvin Cooke is a late first early second
Speaker 1: round pick, so that means Murray um as his handcuff,
Speaker 1: whereas his backup gets less opportunity than the time share.
Speaker 1: That's a little more even in Tennessee. So give me
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry there d gold. Jeremy McMahon is also asking
Speaker 1: a Sony or beast Mode That is interesting forma depends
Speaker 1: on the format and standard. Give me beast Mode because
Speaker 1: I like his touchdowns, I like his rushing yards and PPR.
Speaker 1: I I think it's a toss up. I think it's
Speaker 1: a toss up. UM, it can kind of go whichever
Speaker 1: way UM in standard, though I do like Beast Mode.
Speaker 1: Jeremy also asking me Rolls, Royce Freeman or Alex Collins.
Speaker 1: That is also very very close. I have a very
Speaker 1: slight lean towards Alex Collins there, but I'm splitting hairs.
Speaker 1: I think they're both mid to back end. R B
Speaker 1: two's very slight lean to Alex Collins, although I love
Speaker 1: me some Royce to five nine Freeman out there as well.
Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody that's pounding the like button, Like my
Speaker 1: man Lance Davis is saying, UM, We're gonna get back
Speaker 1: to your questions a little bit later on in the show.
Speaker 1: What I want to do right now, though, is I
Speaker 1: told you about some takeaways from the Week three of
Speaker 1: the pre season, and I'm gonna start with admitting something
Speaker 1: that I got wrong. I may be wrong on the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. I told you that I thought it could
Speaker 1: unravel for Cincinnati. I told you that ad the Dalton
Speaker 1: and Marvin Lewis were kind of on their way out,
Speaker 1: that they were like tied to the hip, that the
Speaker 1: message has gotten stale there. I'm back on them, and
Speaker 1: it's mostly because of that offensive line. That offensive line
Speaker 1: looks good and the Dalton looks good. John Ross was
Speaker 1: back and he doesn't even have to be good. Remember
Speaker 1: how I say a lot of times a team is
Speaker 1: better for their real life team than they are for fantasy.
Speaker 1: That's what John Ross is. He's gonna take the top
Speaker 1: off the defense, Okay, and he doesn't really even have
Speaker 1: to catch the ball. All he's gotta do is take
Speaker 1: a deep safety with him and that creates room for
Speaker 1: a j Green. I think you see right now Tyler
Speaker 1: Eiffort is healthy, although I don't know how long that
Speaker 1: is gonna last. The Someone was asking me about Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon on Twitter recently, and they think Joe Mixon can
Speaker 1: lead the a f C and rushing. They're going to
Speaker 1: force feed Joe Mixon. Um. I like what they're doing,
Speaker 1: and mostly they improve that offensive line, so they are
Speaker 1: doing a little bit better than I thought. UM. On
Speaker 1: the flip side, though, I am very concerned about the
Speaker 1: Dallas offensive line at about the Minnesota offensive line. We
Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit last week. Dallas offensive
Speaker 1: line has all Pro center Travis Frederick with some autoimmune disease.
Speaker 1: That the problem. Zack Martin banged up, Lyle Collins banged up,
Speaker 1: that could be a problem. I think Zeke is still
Speaker 1: clearly a first round talent, but I'm worried about that
Speaker 1: offensive line in Dallas and I'm also worried about that
Speaker 1: offensive line in Minnesota. They have three of their starting
Speaker 1: five offensive lineman have been banged up already. They went
Speaker 1: out and made a trade for a center. They traded
Speaker 1: for Brent Jones. That's meaning to them that they are
Speaker 1: acknowledging that this is a problem. So those are two
Speaker 1: of my takeaway. Cincinnati on the good side, the Minnesota
Speaker 1: and Dallas offensive lines on the bad side. I want
Speaker 1: to tell you about a rookie and it's not even
Speaker 1: an offensive one. I'm talking about Darwin James in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles with the Chargers. This kid is going to be
Speaker 1: a beast. They have confirmed that he is going to
Speaker 1: start for the Chargers in Week one. This is a
Speaker 1: guy who picked off Drew Brees on like his third
Speaker 1: snap last week. This is a guy who I saw
Speaker 1: in Florida State be a pass rusher as well. He
Speaker 1: is that Swiss Army knife that can cover tight ends,
Speaker 1: play the back end, and support the run. He is
Speaker 1: a huge addition to this lost endelist Chargers defense. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons if you know speed, you know I
Speaker 1: have them going pretty far this year in the a
Speaker 1: f C. And I love Derwin James to lead them.
Speaker 1: He has proven to be an absolute steal when they
Speaker 1: got him at number seventeen overall in the draft. I
Speaker 1: also want to talk about one other guy, um, and
Speaker 1: it's Patty. That's my homes Joe, he's my homes Um.
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, we saw that incredible seventy yards in
Speaker 1: the air ball to Tyreek Hill, right, and he's got
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill on one side. He's got Sammy Watkins as
Speaker 1: another burner on the other side. Last week though he
Speaker 1: didn't have any big time seventy yard throws, but I
Speaker 1: still think he showed something. What he showed is that
Speaker 1: he can make reads. What he showed is that he
Speaker 1: can make decisions. What he showed is that he's okay
Speaker 1: throwing the ball short as well. I like Patty Mahomes development.
Speaker 1: I am on Patty Mahomes. Patty Mahomes I think will
Speaker 1: finish as a top ten quarterback this year. And you
Speaker 1: know what helps him the fact that the Kansas City
Speaker 1: past defense is trash, blunt, guts trash. That past defense
Speaker 1: defecates the mattress. Okay, so they're gonna be in a
Speaker 1: lot of shootouts. Patty Mahomes is gonna have to be
Speaker 1: a gun slinger in order to keep up with all
Speaker 1: the nonsense that that Chief's defense is gonna give up. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm singing games in Arrowhead. They're gonna wind up thirty
Speaker 1: thirty this year. Okay, we see some of those a
Speaker 1: f C West shootouts. Listen, they're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: throw on the Chiefs, which means Patty Mahomes is gonna
Speaker 1: have to sling it right back. I think he is
Speaker 1: primed to be a top ten quarterback in one of
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks you can wait on along with Stafford and
Speaker 1: rivers Um and Ben and Ryan and Luck in some
Speaker 1: scenarios and probably now went with you know him still
Speaker 1: not being cleared. Okay, put Patty Mahomes in there for me.
Speaker 1: I am very high. I think he is a diamond
Speaker 1: in the rough, although a lot of people are on
Speaker 1: him right now. The last thing I want to mention
Speaker 1: about this, let's listen. Week three was supposed to be
Speaker 1: the dress rehearsal, but a lot of teams are, now,
Speaker 1: you know, bucking conventional wisdom. Shall we say? The Rams
Speaker 1: didn't play their starters. The Bears didn't play any of
Speaker 1: their starters. The Cowboys didn't really play their starters. You know,
Speaker 1: Dad didn't play, Zeke didn't play. Rams guys didn't play.
Speaker 1: The Bears guys didn't play. So it's interesting to me,
Speaker 1: what does that mean. Does that mean we're gonna see
Speaker 1: these guys in this week of the preseason. I don't
Speaker 1: think so. But what it does mean is that you know,
Speaker 1: their their book is closed for the preseason, and hopefully
Speaker 1: that just means no more injuries for them, you know.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing I want to say, shout
Speaker 1: out to the status over beat Cipher. Remember check me
Speaker 1: out on Patreon. Please do. That's where I can guarantee
Speaker 1: my responses to you. Okay, subscribe to me on Patreon.
Speaker 1: I put all my shows there. You get behind the
Speaker 1: scenes coverage, you get stuff from like the draft, the
Speaker 1: expert drafts that I was doing. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: may have a cameo appearance later on this week on
Speaker 1: another Fantasy Sports Network show. We'll talk about that a
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the show. So check for
Speaker 1: me there. And that's the one way I can guarantee
Speaker 1: answers to your questions on social media, because listen, I'm
Speaker 1: getting inundated and the unicorn is like, you know, speeds
Speaker 1: while you spending an hour and a half for sponsing
Speaker 1: people on Twitter. I love my cipher, but you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta prioritize some folks. You are probably the person
Speaker 1: I am prioritizing, all right, Um yeah, I like that,
Speaker 1: Gregor Cansteo, Pat Mahomes and Hill Are Randall Cunningham and
Speaker 1: Moss two point Oh yeah. He ain't gonna outthrow. He
Speaker 1: ain't gonna outrun any of Patty Mahomes throws. Okay, I
Speaker 1: like that. I like that a lot um yep. Feeling
Speaker 1: limped off the field today. They think it's not a
Speaker 1: big time issue. Lance Davis, you know what it is, man,
Speaker 1: the unicorns. That's right, all right, Um, let's keep it
Speaker 1: in moving here. I got another question I wanted to address,
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna give you some best ball targets.
Speaker 1: All right. So the first thing I want to address
Speaker 1: is hit me up on someone hit me up on Twitter.
Speaker 1: J J. Brown. He is one of my patreons, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna answer him right away. He's getting a deal,
Speaker 1: he said, Um, he had a deal on the table.
Speaker 1: Where is Allan Robinson and Carlos hide for Davante Adams?
Speaker 1: I get a lot of questions like this, these kind
Speaker 1: of two for one deals. Okay, so I wanted to
Speaker 1: say right now, in the two for one deals, generally speaking,
Speaker 1: I like the one player. I like the one stud
Speaker 1: In fantasy football, what you need to do is accumulate
Speaker 1: guys that have the potential to win you your week,
Speaker 1: all right, and Davante Adams is one of those guys
Speaker 1: unless you have some kind of injury concern and a
Speaker 1: or a by concern and you need to kind of
Speaker 1: stretch your talent out just for roster spots. Otherwise, generally speaking,
Speaker 1: when I get two for one trade questions on social media,
Speaker 1: on the phone lines, in the chat room, I'm a
Speaker 1: guy who leans towards the one player that's better than
Speaker 1: the two. Okay, that's what the guy is trying to do.
Speaker 1: Either the guy who's offering you this deal is looking
Speaker 1: for their one of their mid level starters and like
Speaker 1: a bench guy for them because they're looking for the
Speaker 1: impact to just be there. You may not be starting
Speaker 1: both of these guys in this case. It's Allen Robinson,
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide. What is that gonna mean for you? You're
Speaker 1: gonna give up Davante Adams to go down at wide receiver,
Speaker 1: down to Allen Robinson and then grab Carlos Hide. I
Speaker 1: would ask this guy, does he really need Carlos Hide
Speaker 1: in a week to week basis? If you do, you've
Speaker 1: got other problems, my man. And that would be the situation,
Speaker 1: the injuries, the buys. But other than that, I like
Speaker 1: the one player in two for one deal. So J J. Brown,
Speaker 1: if you're out there, I responded to you, I think
Speaker 1: on social media already. I'm on the Davanta Adams side
Speaker 1: of this trade for sure, and generally speaking, I'm on
Speaker 1: the one side of two for one trades. All right,
Speaker 1: So check this out. Here's what we're gonna do on
Speaker 1: Thursday's show. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: break down some of the drafts that I had last weekend.
Speaker 1: I was in the G S T League and Expert League.
Speaker 1: I was in the Carton and Friends League. Here. We
Speaker 1: did our draft live on Sunday here. It was a
Speaker 1: special Fantasy Frenzy a Man, Corey Parsons, Scott Angle, Craig Carton,
Speaker 1: the Closer, Ventra Rhodo, Frank from Best Friends Forever, myself.
Speaker 1: We had some of the producers in the building. We
Speaker 1: haven't had a listener that was here that had a team,
Speaker 1: so I appreciate everybody coming on out for that. I'll
Speaker 1: break down the team that I'm with Mike blew it
Speaker 1: on representing Fantasy Sports today, and I'll break down also
Speaker 1: my Greenwich Street Tavern League kind of give you a
Speaker 1: little bit insight as to how I saw, you know,
Speaker 1: the draft coming to me. Let's say, right, because that's
Speaker 1: what you want to do. You gotta let the draft
Speaker 1: come to you. Remember, we gotta pull question up right
Speaker 1: now on Twitter as well. I'm asking you you know
Speaker 1: which Jaguars past catcher do you think will lead the
Speaker 1: team in receiving? Although you know I acknowledge this is
Speaker 1: not a big pie, right Remember I tell you all
Speaker 1: the times about how big is the pie and then
Speaker 1: how big of your is your slice within the pie.
Speaker 1: So some of these people that are asking me questions
Speaker 1: like Keenan Cole or mark He's Goodwin, you know the
Speaker 1: San France this goal pie is so big relation to
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville one and Marky's Goodwin slices the number one
Speaker 1: of it. Now when you look at the smaller Jacksonville pie,
Speaker 1: even if you got a bigger slice, it's less pizza,
Speaker 1: or it's less you know, peach cobbler, or it's less pecans,
Speaker 1: whatever you think it needs to be. Whatever that pie
Speaker 1: actually is, it's less whip cream, even though I'm off
Speaker 1: whip cream. Um, So that's why I say that. However,
Speaker 1: if you need to invest in the Jacksonville wide receivers
Speaker 1: right now, forty five percent of you are saying Keeling Cole,
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent are saying d D westbrookent are saying
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief, and two percent are saying d J Chark. Listen,
Speaker 1: I agree with some of this. I think it's not
Speaker 1: DJ Chark. I think Dante Moncrief is interesting. He's the
Speaker 1: third choice here right now as per the votes on
Speaker 1: this poll. But I am intrigued by Dante Moncrief. He
Speaker 1: at least has a history of experience, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of in a better passing an offense when he was
Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck in the Colts. He has proven to
Speaker 1: be a red zone kind of target, whereas Cole and
Speaker 1: Westbrook are not necessarily those kinds of guys. So I
Speaker 1: like Dante Moncrief and you can get him for free.
Speaker 1: I think he's a viable wide receiver five something like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't look to be starting any of these guys,
Speaker 1: including Marquis Lee if he was healthy. There. As I
Speaker 1: said before, I do think Austin Safari and Jenkins, the Rossafar, I, King,
Speaker 1: Hali Selassie, I, every team I Erie. I think he
Speaker 1: has a chance to get boosted up a little bit
Speaker 1: more because of that. I know some people in the
Speaker 1: chat room agree with me. All Right, is we gonna do?
Speaker 1: We only have a couple of minutes. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: to a break in a hot second. When we come back.
Speaker 1: What we are going to do, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: those best ball targets real quick, and then I'm gonna
Speaker 1: bring in my man Danny Otto down from the fantasy
Speaker 1: pit of misery, Dilly dilly to everybody, and we're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna talk a little bit. I got
Speaker 1: some interesting stories I want to bounce off of him.
Speaker 1: We got another young cause in the Effect trap game
Speaker 1: Maestro's rap remix as well from last year's season that
Speaker 1: I want to get us, you know, often running with um.
Speaker 1: So a lot of stuff to do. Is we put

Speaker 1: little bit. Uh not the usual genre of comeback music
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Freestyle. But it's all good, okay, because
Speaker 1: your boys speeds and spitting Statistician. We could talk anything.
Speaker 1: Got another question over there in the chat room. Uh
Speaker 1: d gold is once again asking what about Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: versus Mike Williams for wide receiver three in standard? And
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by a new naga who's talking about Mike
Speaker 1: Williams and saying everybody else ya WiLAN because he's gonna
Speaker 1: ball this year. I agree with a new naga that
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is going to take a dramatic step forward
Speaker 1: this year. Okay, I like him a lot as a
Speaker 1: second year wilde receiver at Clemson. I think he is
Speaker 1: the guy who is going to soak up a lot
Speaker 1: of the red zone opportunity that was left with the
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry injury. Okay, So I do like him a lot, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that I don't want to get a new upset
Speaker 1: at me. I like Williams a lot. I think he
Speaker 1: is a diamond in the rough. I will have share
Speaker 1: is of Mike Williams this year. I think he will
Speaker 1: outperform his current a DP by a lot. But my
Speaker 1: answer to this question is still Chris Godwin, Okay, because
Speaker 1: I'm also high on Chris Godwin. Okay. I believe they've
Speaker 1: already talked about how Chris Godwin has leap frog DeShawn
Speaker 1: Jackson right in uh Tampa Bay as the number two
Speaker 1: right Mike Williams is still competing with Terrell Williams and
Speaker 1: some other folks. Okay. I also believe that the Chargers
Speaker 1: are more of a fantasy herd. If you listen to
Speaker 1: the show, you know about the fantasy Herd, and I
Speaker 1: think the Charges are one of those kind of teams
Speaker 1: where In any given week, it could be someone else.
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin can step up and have a great game, right,
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler can step up and have a great game.
Speaker 1: Some weeks it'll be Mike Williams. But then you gotta
Speaker 1: remember this Keenan Allen there as well. Right. However, on
Speaker 1: the Tampa side, I think there's less mouths to feed,
Speaker 1: and I expect Chris Godwin to take a big step
Speaker 1: forward as the number two wide receiver for Tampa. And
Speaker 1: the last thing I'll say as a consideration on this,
Speaker 1: I think Tampa is going to be down in games
Speaker 1: a lot this year. I think they're going to be
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the NFC. I'm all
Speaker 1: over the under on their season win total, So for me,
Speaker 1: that means garbage time throwing the ball. The Chargers, on
Speaker 1: the other side, I expect to be one of the
Speaker 1: better teams in the a f C. I have them
Speaker 1: winning the a f C West, so that means in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter more time them maybe running the ball,
Speaker 1: salting the ball away. I think game flow would flavor
Speaker 1: a pass catcher in Tampa over the past catcher in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles with the Chargers, all things being equal, but
Speaker 1: a new I don't don't get mad at me. I
Speaker 1: do like uh Mike Williams as well. To take a
Speaker 1: step forward. What up Saraje? Soup? What's up? Saraje? I
Speaker 1: see you out there, all right, So there are all
Speaker 1: the questions. My man strong style is out there. It is,
Speaker 1: in fact Danny Otto's birthday week. We're gonna be talking
Speaker 1: about that a little bit later on. But first, what
Speaker 1: I wanted to do is I wanted to mention these
Speaker 1: best ball guys. Okay, And for those of you who
Speaker 1: don't know, best ball is the format where it's great
Speaker 1: because you just draft. Then that's it. You don't have
Speaker 1: to manage your team, you don't make any trade, you
Speaker 1: don't have any waivers, and all that happens is that
Speaker 1: the website, however you want, they automatically give you your
Speaker 1: ideal lineup for a week to week basis. And that
Speaker 1: is the key. You automatically get your ideal lineup. So
Speaker 1: what you need to do, generally speaking, is you talk
Speaker 1: about these high upside guys. Okay, So let me give
Speaker 1: you a couple of guys at each position that I
Speaker 1: like as targets for this kind of format. We'll start
Speaker 1: with the quarterback. For the quarterback, I'm waiting still onto
Speaker 1: those guys that we talked about before. But here are
Speaker 1: my two targets. Because remember, you get all their good
Speaker 1: games and then they're bad game. You just take the
Speaker 1: other quarterback. The two guys I like here that I
Speaker 1: would pair and you can do it. I see my
Speaker 1: man Frank, the Tank of Fantasy best friend forever do
Speaker 1: this in a best ball league. He paired n Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: and Patty Mahomes, right, and I like that. Here's why
Speaker 1: Big End. We know about the home road splits, right.
Speaker 1: We know he's liable to put up four d and
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in Pittsburgh, so you get those eight home
Speaker 1: games when Big Ben is a top six quarterback, let's say, right,
Speaker 1: I like that from my best ball team. The other thing,
Speaker 1: I'll combine it with someone like Patty Mahomes, who we've
Speaker 1: already said. There's gonna be incredible peaks, but there'll be
Speaker 1: some valleys as well. I just hope those valleys on
Speaker 1: weeks where Pittsburgh is at home. Those are two guys
Speaker 1: that I would like to pair in bestball formats at quarterback.
Speaker 1: You know what the big guys are gonna do the
Speaker 1: top of the food chain, right, But I like waiting
Speaker 1: and getting Big Ben on the strength of those home games,
Speaker 1: and Patty Mahomes on the strength of some of the
Speaker 1: big plays that I think he's gonna make. Remember I
Speaker 1: told you they're gonna be chasing points a lot also
Speaker 1: because of that Kansas City past defense. So Big Ben
Speaker 1: and Patty Mahomes are two guys I would be very
Speaker 1: interested in um in bestball formats in running at the
Speaker 1: running back position. Here is where I'll take a chance
Speaker 1: with the new England Patriots running back right, because you
Speaker 1: never know. Trying to figure it out and start the
Speaker 1: right Patriots running back on a week to week basis
Speaker 1: is gonna be a problem. But if you automatically get
Speaker 1: the ideal lineup, then I'm okay with a guy like
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle or Rex Burkhead or even a James White
Speaker 1: as one of the backs on my team, because I'll
Speaker 1: just get it when he's Belichick's choice. Right. And this
Speaker 1: is aside from you're not drafting these guys ahead of
Speaker 1: you know, Davante Freeman or Kareem Hunt. I'm just giving
Speaker 1: you targets for later on obviously you're still taking you know,
Speaker 1: your big stud. Do you still want Leonard four Net,
Speaker 1: you still want Alvin Kamara these sorts of guys. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: but that's what I'm doing. I'm I'm leaning towards, say
Speaker 1: a Patriots running back as well. I'd be happy to
Speaker 1: take that. And I'd also i'd be okay taking someone
Speaker 1: who has exclusive potential that is also an injury risk,
Speaker 1: a guy like Dalvin Cook. Let's say, at wide receiver,
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, two things, I'll say, similar theories, right.
Speaker 1: Give me, like I said with the Patriots running backs,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. In in basketball, I'm okay with
Speaker 1: some of these Fantasy Herd teams and their wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Give me the Rams wide outs. I'll take me Robert Woods,
Speaker 1: and I'll love the week that he goes seven catches
Speaker 1: for a hundred forty three yards and two touchdowns. The
Speaker 1: week when it's Cooper Cup instead, fine, but I'll take
Speaker 1: the four weeks that it's Woods that pops off or
Speaker 1: that it's Cup. So I like these Fantasy Herd white outs.
Speaker 1: I like the Rams wide outs there. I'll like a
Speaker 1: guy like Kenny Golladay because when he pops off, it
Speaker 1: would be it would be so nice Gola Day. So
Speaker 1: he's a guy that I'm okay. I like these herd
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And then there's these guys who take the
Speaker 1: top off the defense. Give me the Will Fullers, the
Speaker 1: Dissaun Jackson's, the Mike Wallace's, the Tyree Hills right, because
Speaker 1: I'm looking for that week where they have it happens twice.
Speaker 1: The Shan Jackson is the prototypical guy that people talk
Speaker 1: about all the time. Will Fuller, Right, some weeks he's
Speaker 1: gonna go three for three for thirty three. That ain't
Speaker 1: gonna help me. But that week when he has three catches,
Speaker 1: two of them fifty plus yard touchdown passes, that's the
Speaker 1: kind of guy I like as a target later on
Speaker 1: in best ball formats for tight ends. The one thing
Speaker 1: I'll add to this is, uh, I'm okay with some
Speaker 1: of those injury guys read effort. I'll take a chance
Speaker 1: on them because I'm backing them up with someone more
Speaker 1: stable anyway. Right, So if they pop, I get that.
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of insight some of the best
Speaker 1: ball stuff that we're talking about. Now, what I want
Speaker 1: to do is I want to transition. We put the
Speaker 1: fun in functional sports content. I want to talk to
Speaker 1: my man, Danny Otto. Danny, can we get you when
Speaker 1: Danny's getting to join us right now? One last question
Speaker 1: that's in the chat room we got. Renee Rosario asked
Speaker 1: me about Michael Thomas or DeAndre Hopkins. I'm all over
Speaker 1: de Hop. I'm on de Hop, the d Hoppopotamus. He's
Speaker 1: my number two wide receiver behind only Antonio Brown. Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas is great too. I'll take Michael Thomas early second round.
Speaker 1: I'll take Michael Thomas as my you know, five six
Speaker 1: seventh wide receiver overall, but d Hop for me is
Speaker 1: number two, So I like d Hop. One last question
Speaker 1: Danny before we get to you. Jimmy Gwan asked, what
Speaker 1: do I think of Chubb? Uh? If that's Nick Chubb,
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more. I think Carlos Hide is
Speaker 1: showing up. Oh, at the end of the season, we

Speaker 1: was just talking about was for best ball formats. Okay.
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson should be available in your in your waivers,
Speaker 1: and you should not draft drop either one of those guys.
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson, I like especially in PPR formats. Okay, so no,

Speaker 1: You like that? Also? Like Chammy over here? Hey, I do?
Speaker 1: I agree? I like it all right? What that Southern stuff?
Speaker 1: You know? So I thought it was good that we
Speaker 1: talked about the Saints running backs. Hey, Danny, I got
Speaker 1: something for you. I know you were talking about back
Speaker 1: to school and a previous popping off, and you know,
Speaker 1: at first sometimes in the summer, I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 1: and they're really doing back to school sales or back
Speaker 1: to school clothes and supplies. I saw something today that
Speaker 1: takes that like to the extreme, Danny um. And it
Speaker 1: was like trending on Twitter. I saw a hashtag trending
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and I was like, what's this? It's still August.
Speaker 1: You know what the hashtag was, Danny? Well, I know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to ruin it, alright. The hashtag was
Speaker 1: pumpkin spice latte. Are you evan kidding me? It's nineties
Speaker 1: some odd degrees in New York City today, right? Um?
Speaker 1: Like for me, I think like fall, I think October.
Speaker 1: I think Halloween, and I think Thanksgiving. That's when I
Speaker 1: need my pumpkin spice lattes, not when there's literally a
Speaker 1: heat advisory out here in New York and I'm sweating
Speaker 1: through my clothes. Danny, A little early for you. Oh absolutely.
Speaker 1: I can't even think of anything warm right now. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: I want no part of it. I went, I went
Speaker 1: past the soup and uh, what was that? Like? Haitlin
Speaker 1: hardy soups today? Thinking about lunch, and I was like,
Speaker 1: not chill. I can't. I can't deal with that right now.
Speaker 1: But pumpkin spice latte is bad back. I think it's
Speaker 1: fool crazy. Give me the corner Deli and and their
Speaker 1: ice coffee for like two dollars instead of five or
Speaker 1: six dollars for a pumpkin spice latte. Okay, I could
Speaker 1: put a little cinnamon in it if I need to,
Speaker 1: but I thought that was a little bit crazy, Danny.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about that, all right. Big props

Speaker 1: list that I kind of wanted us to react to.
Speaker 1: It's the ten best and worst movies of the two
Speaker 1: thousand Nights. And I know we're going to disagree on
Speaker 1: some of the stuff. I definitely have some opinions. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's based on rotten tomatoes scores from these
Speaker 1: movies and stuff like that. Can you really trust that?
Speaker 1: How do you trust that? You know? I don't know,

Speaker 1: maybe the Manamal Chris Bavona, Right, Yeah, Chris is definitely
Speaker 1: gonna take looking forward to that, looking forward to that
Speaker 1: last thing. I want to mention here, Danny, um dilly
Speaker 1: dilly to you, dilly dilly to the entire cipher. As always,
Speaker 1: what I want to say is, remember tonight, also, you're
Speaker 1: gonna see some hard knocks, right, so remember on the
Speaker 1: last episode, you know we saw I told you we
Speaker 1: saw a Tirodd studying film when Baker Mayfield was posing
Speaker 1: with Tigers, we saw the offensive line coach talking about, um,
Speaker 1: what animals you need to represent? Danny, have you thought
Speaker 1: anymore about the animal football team? Remember we had like
Speaker 1: Rhinos as offensive lineman, you know, Lions as linebackers. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What I really liked the idea was having like a
Speaker 1: polar bear. I don't know why, just I feel like
Speaker 1: he'd be angry and I asked you about this. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe we can talk about this, pop it off. Maybe
Speaker 1: I can say, asked Bodega cat this um one of
Speaker 1: my boys, you know, shout out. Shout out to joey
Speaker 1: t you know what it is, joey um big shout
Speaker 1: out to him. He used to use this as his
Speaker 1: like come online at the bar. Okay, so I want
Speaker 1: to get your reaction to this. He'd walk up to
Speaker 1: someone and he'd be like, hey, you know how much
Speaker 1: polar bear weighs? You know what this is? And the person,
Speaker 1: the man or the woman whatever would usually be like,
Speaker 1: uh no, because it's kind of random, right, and then
Speaker 1: Joe would always respond with enough to break the ice
Speaker 1: and then like go shake his shake, uh shake the
Speaker 1: person's hand, you know, and get into the conversation that way.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Danny? It's a cheesy
Speaker 1: or like less cheesy than most. Hey, I mean sometimes
Speaker 1: cheesy works. Sometimes cheesy does you can say anything? If
Speaker 1: you're the right person and you come in with the
Speaker 1: right attitude, you could say anything like that. Danny, I'm
Speaker 1: sending a popping off poll question. Does cheesy sometimes work? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think that's a great but I think we should
Speaker 1: do that well, Danny. Listen, I'm gonna be very excited
Speaker 1: to do my Carrio appearance um on popping Off for sure. Um.
Speaker 1: And I'll be back here on on Thursday for Fantasy Freestyle.
