Okay, 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.160 when we have the Cincinnati Bengals and I guess remnants 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.000 of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'll give you some prop bets. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.680 I'll give you some things. Oh by the way, on Thursday. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:38.760 Uh my number one prop bet that I gave you 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.240 before Thursday Night Football was take all the overs with 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:46.360 Davante Adams if you remember correctly, Um, hopefully you want 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.160 some money with that. But I digress. Let's get into it. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.480 We gotta pull question up as well, and I think 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.880 it's a very interesting one. Real deal status over beat 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.840 Cipher fans know that I've been saying that, like early 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.560 in the season when I put polls out then we 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.160 look back on them later, and the status of bad 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.720 Cipher was like, there's a reason to fade the public. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.440 So let's test this out. Who do you believe in 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.639 to win the NFC North these days? I mean, look 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.000 at these teams. Okay, you got right now, You've got 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:14.880 the Green Bay Packers at three and one, but they 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.079 look like I could run on them on Thursday Night Football. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.280 So and the developing offense with Matt lafior Do you 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.960 believe in them? I told you they're my pick, But 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.680 I'm hearing a lot of other stuff. Right, what about 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.960 the What about the three and one Bears? What about 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.040 the three and one Bears who got a victory and 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.680 almost shut out in Minnesota yesterday but lost their quarterback 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.120 for a time? What about the Detroit Lions at two 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.280 one and one, who listen, look good? In my opinion, 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.480 you have to start considering Detroit, okay, you have to 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.000 start considering them as like a legitimate team that can, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.600 you know, compete with everybody out there. They're building a 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.080 culture out there. And then there is Minnesota, who is 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.560 two and two. A lot of people like the Vikings 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.920 going into the season. Have you seen something at this 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.080 point after four games a quarter of the season to 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.320 make you want to jump ship. I'll give you a 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:06.760 quote from all Pro Pro Bowl person on Minnesota that 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.160 may give you cause for pause a little bit later 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.400 on in this show, But I gotta tell you people, 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:16.799 week four, the public got crushed. Going into Sunday night, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.880 only two home teams won. You know how much I 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.560 love the home teams? Right? Only two home teams one 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.440 yesterday during the day, not counting the Saints, right, those 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.760 were the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears. There 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.720 were road teams left and right that went in and 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.200 got the job done. And listen, a lot of people 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.360 were off. Okay, Tennessee goes into Atlanta and wins. Oakland 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:41.200 goes into Indian wins. Tampa Bay goes into Los Angeles 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.960 and wins. Cleveland goes into Baltimore and wins. Right Carolina 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.640 goes into Houston and wins. I'm telling you, just when 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.400 everybody thought they had their narratives formed, right I I 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.680 it's not that way just yet. I told you to 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.960 exercise patients. I told you that what some of these 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.960 teams were doing, they were doing against different kind of competition. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.120 What was real, what was not? I say, patients, And 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.000 I say, we really want to see who these teams are. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.440 And I think last yesterday was a great reminder to 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.680 people left and right that you gotta take it all 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.120 and step back in a comprehensive picture. You can't just 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.159 be so reactionary to what you saw in one week. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.360 I tell people on Patreon, on Twitter, in the chat room, 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.599 and boy did that play out yesterday. If you had 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.440 some people even in you know, Survivor settings. I know 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.440 a lot of people had the rams, the colts and 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.680 Survivor settings. I know a lot of people who had 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.080 those teams and parlays and teasers. Okay, you gotta step 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.680 back and see the narratives truly formed. Another thing. Remember 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.560 I'm doing the count. We've had eight teams going into 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.960 last week that have had more than one quarterback. Well 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.680 it's now up to eleven. Three teams also got another 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.960 quarterback involved. Okay, Josh Allen went down with a head 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.880 injury in New England. By the way, I think that 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.680 was dirty. Um Mitchell Trobinsky goes down. He's got what 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.440 they're saying is a dislocated shoulder and a slight tear 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.080 of his labor um. Keep an eye out on that. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.080 They're gonna try and sneak him past the London game 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.320 against Oakland next week, then they have a bye. I'm 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.120 telling you right now, I'm worried this is gonna be 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.800 something like cam where they say, oh, we'll see it's 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.280 week to week, but then they boom on Monday be like, yeah, yeah, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.320 I'm coming back this week. Then we see next week, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.000 so we'll see with Rabinsky, and of course Dwayne Haskins 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.360 got his first action yesterday as well. I don't know, 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.960 if you're a Washington football team fan, if you were 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.719 happy with what you saw, thinking that that is the future, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.760 there are other you know, injuries. Listen, Football is a 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.320 violent game. And here's the thing on Thursday night, and 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.000 we're gonna go all the way back to Thursday, right, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.480 because we haven't spoken since then. All from takeaways from 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.240 what I got right, what I got wrong, all that stuff. 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.640 But when two people get backboarded and carted out, you know, 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.640 you can see it is an incredibly violent game. Davante 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.680 Adams with a toe, Jamal Williams just cleared from the hospital. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.640 We said about Alan and Trabinsky, Listen, there's other people 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.720 that around. Kenny Stills with a hamstring, t J. Hockenson 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.280 trying to hurdle someone, which is like the new move 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.160 these days. Defenders are getting hip to a t J. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.920 Hockenson with a head and neck injury. Okay, and then 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.760 there's some other stuff that is just kind of you know, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.520 we need to talk about a little bit because they're 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.160 not necessarily full on injury notes. Their injury notes with 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.480 some interesting context, so we're gonna do those. Will give 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.520 you my takeaways what Speed's got right and wrong, will 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.040 turn the page forward, looking at waiver wires at every position. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.080 Who's a diamond of will answer your questions. We'll look 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.120 at the status of a Beats league. We got a 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.640 new first place team and the cipher should be happy 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.640 about it. And uh we'll talk Thursday Monday Night football 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.599 as well. Okay, episode four hundred and four. Dilly Dilly, 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.400 I'm all right back, Dilly dilly.

Oh maha, yes, oh my god, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.400 when it used to be like oh maha at the line. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.320 And of course, give a big shout out to tribe 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.680 called quest, big shout out to the stats over Beats speer. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.080 Yeah yeah, let that bump until we get taken off 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.560 of YouTube, Danny, I don't know how many seconds it is. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.520 You know what I'm saying. Oh maha, yes, oh my god. Um, 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.800 there's some great lines from that song. But that's another 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.360 time for another day. UM check it out. Uh you 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:49.000 guys heard in the commercial. They're me and Joe ROONNERI 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.960 talking this this morning about a certain prop bet that 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.640 I put out there as a lock that my home girl, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.880 Jennifer Henderson Real Deal Stats over Beats members said she 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.160 hoped it didn't happen, but I told her, I hope 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.560 you bet it, because it's going to happen. We'll talk 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.840 about and I'll give you some visual proof of what 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.920 I was talking about a little bit later on in 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:13.080 the show. Uh uh, Jilly, don't be, don't be, don't 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.120 be grossed out. But in any event, in any event, 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.960 all right, so let's get into that. We got some 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.800 other entries people in the chat room. We're also noting 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.000 Christian kirk wide out from the Arizona Cardinals. He got 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.920 banged up, he's got an ankle. Uh. Kingsbury is talking 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.840 about We'll see and remember, guys, I'm not back until Thursday, right. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.680 You see the practice reports on Wednesday? Then you see 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.319 how it is trending. Are they upgraded from limited to 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.679 full or from d NP too limited or vice versa. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.240 That's the way you look at it. Also, want to 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.040 let you guys know, uh, Jay Gruden has quote unquote 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:47.880 supreme confidence in Colt McCoy for week five. Apparently Coult 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.280 McCoy is healthy and he may be the guy who 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.959 becomes you know, the sacrificial lamb uh for their game 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.840 because by the way, they played the New England Patriots 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.520 next week. And I'm gonna tell you guys right now, 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:02.920 Week six Washington verse myan me, Yeah, it's in Miami. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.360 Miami has a by week five. I'm gonna tell you 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.360 right now, I'm gonna take Miami. I'm gonna take Miami 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.600 week six against the Washington football team in Miami. I'll 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.280 lay the points. I don't care that's the one, but 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.240 I digress in any event. Also, um listen, Sam Donald 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.679 has been cleared for non contact drills. Okay, but the 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.320 team is saying that he's like a little bit lighter 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.319 than they thought. He was a little bit slower to 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.040 get starting running and lifting and quite frankly getting out 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.240 of bed. So this idea where he's talking about he 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.760 wants to be back for week five. That ain't happening people, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.320 all right. Also, you know who might be back? You 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.280 heard this week Ja a Giant has said he is 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.000 coming back in a c L injury. He's letting all 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.280 thirty two teams. No, I think there's a value for him. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.319 I told you listen. I know Wayne Goldman looked good. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.800 Put it in my eye. But the Giants could use them. Uh, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.640 green Bay just lost Jamal Williams. They could use them. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.959 Atlanta seems to be able to need maybe need a 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.040 running back, right, so I think there will be a 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.640 market for j G I e interesting status or you 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.559 incredibly deep league and people are saying it in the 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.160 chat room. Vantes Perfect looks like he's facing a year 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.000 long suspension for his hit on Jack Doyle. And I 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.600 gotta tell you something. I'm fine with that. But if 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.079 you're gonna do that, then y'all need to look at 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.960 the hit that the Patriots put on Josh Allen, okay, 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.000 because that did not look closher to me. And uh, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.760 you know, I'm not even here talking to game more 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.880 and see the Bills fan. But I digress. Listen, My 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.280 main narrative from Week four is that every team has 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.760 their flaws. Every team is flawed. There is no perfect 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.400 team in the NFL. There is no dominant team in 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.320 the NFL. Every team is without his flaws, and some 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.320 of them were exposed like yesterday and over the course 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.640 of the last couple of weeks. Here's the catch, though, 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.679 if I'm looking at teams that I think can go 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.080 the route because in the playoffs they always say your 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.920 flaws or what gets exposed, I'm looking for teams that 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.640 can win even when they don't bring their a game. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.320 And you know what, I saw that from some teams yesterday. Okay, 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.120 I saw New England in a tough road game, and 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.560 you gotta give the Bill's credit. It's a tough role game. 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.719 I saw their special teams come up big with a touchdown. 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.040 The Kansas City Chiefs. I saw return a fumble for 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.520 a hundred yards for a touchdown on a day when 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.760 Patty Mahomes didn't throw for a touchdown and their defense 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.360 gave up thirty. I saw the New Wing the New 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.760 Orleans Saints. Okay, get clutch field goals for Will Lutch 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.040 which he's been doing all season long, and actually manage 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.160 a game and have that defense cause fumbles from two 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.199 Hall of famers on the other side of the ball. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.520 I'm talking about Jason Witten and likely Zeke Elliott as well. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.440 But here's the thing. You talk about some of these 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:44.040 other contenders with the Rams. I don't know if Jared 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.559 Goff is that dude. I don't know why everyone that. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.960 Why did they give Jared Goff a hundred ten hundred 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.360 thirty million dollars? Is he really worth it? Do they really? 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.240 Is that deal gonna look good? And I think he 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.560 could be an issue for them. He was missing open 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.120 receivers yesterday. All right, for the for deep, for green Bay, 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.720 for Baltimore, their defense have been exposed in the last 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.040 couple of weeks. I was high in this green Bay defense. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.360 I still like the secondary, but you can run on 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.920 green Bay. We saw Philly do that. This Baltimore team 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.840 got eviscerated yesterday defensively. Alright, what do you want to 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.640 tell me about Chicago as a team, Pittsburgh as a team, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.240 Jacksonville as a team with quarterback injuries. I'll tell you 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.120 what narratives I believe you can form. There's one forming 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.200 about the Minnesota vikings that I'm telling you that I 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.600 think has implications for your fantasy teams. All right, Um, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.000 Minnesota is going to be a run heavy team this year. Guys, 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.680 it's gonna be last year like Dallas and like Seattle. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.600 And you know how last year in Dallas and Seattle, 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.280 I was not on Tyler Lockett. I was not on 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.440 Michael Gallop and guys like that. Minnesota wants to run 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.400 the ball. Kirk Cousins when thirty six yesterday, but that 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.840 was because they were down big in games the way 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.320 they want to play. In weeks one through three, he 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.800 had eight completions, fourteen completions. And now listen to what 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.680 Adam feeling. He's got feeling. Listen to what he's saying. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.760 All Right, he said after the embarrassing lost Chicago quote, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.839 at some point, you're not gonna be able to run 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.840 the ball for a hundred eighty yards, even if we 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.880 do have one of the best backs in the NFL. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.400 That's when you have to be able to throw the ball. Okay. 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.480 He then says, you have to be able to make plays. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.640 You have to be able to hit the deep balls. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.600 You have to do that. People are thinking, Listen if 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.560 he's talking and chirping, and he's already the higher kind 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:31.520 of targeted guy. Uh Kenya digs it. I think I 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.000 know he had a good game yesterday. I would sell 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.640 because he had the good game yesterday. He had a 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.840 big play. But I think what we saw the first 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.920 three weeks, or really closer, what we're gonna see on 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.559 Stefan Diggs. Also, um, with these new quarterbacks, they're gonna 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.560 regress to the mean. I mean Daniel Jones, Gardner, Minshew 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.560 Kyle Allen, and Teddy Bridgewater are now eight NOAHS starters 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.440 so far. Okay, where are these narratives really forming? And 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.400 remember what I said that all these teams have flaws. 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.600 I've mentioned to things consistently and a couple of teams 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.840 consistently that fall prey to this. The offensive line continues 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.200 to be a problem for some key teams. Okay, the 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.679 Houston Texans had six sacks on Deshaun Watson yesterday. They 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.160 continue to not be able to protect him. I don't 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.600 care if they traded for Laramie tunselan use their first 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.480 round pick on a guy six sacks. It ain't gonna work. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.120 We see DeAndre Hopkins still, you know you know borderline 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.840 fugazi right now, and it's because DeShawn Watson has no 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.920 no time. Uh Minnesota Kirk Cousins got sacks six times. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.680 That offensive line continues to be a problem. In my opinion, 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.000 they cannot give him time. It's been years. Oh and 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.280 by the way, the Atlanta Falcons, they gave up five sacks. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.360 This is a team that if they can't protect Matt Ryan, 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.280 he is not mobile. It don't matter if you have 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.080 Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley if if you cannot protect Matt Ryan. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.160 And I know they invested two first round picks on 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.000 that this year, but guess what. Both of them are 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.320 banged up. One of them is already on I R Okay, 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:03.359 the Rams had thirteen penalties yesterday. Washington had twelve penalties. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.160 This is some sloppy play, bad old line play, and 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.600 that ain't gonna change. So with all that context, I 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.640 asked you, who do you trust in the NFC North 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.080 That is the poll question. Up. I'd love to hear 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.000 your thoughts. Let's talk about some of the things that 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.960 I got right, some of the things I got wrong. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.680 All right, I told you all about the patients on 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.000 Davante Adams. I said he was gonna have a game 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:24.960 like Mike Evans did, and boyd, I didn't know he 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.440 was gonna have the exact same yardage total of a 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.720 hundred and eighty yards. I'd say Speed's got that in 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.400 the prop bets, absolutely right. Um. I also told you 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.720 guys last week on the waiver wire free Ronald Jones. 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.120 I told you that Peyton Barbera was just the guy, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.200 and I told you that over time Rojo would be 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.840 getting more carries. Well, Rojo nineteen carries, seven yards and 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.040 a touchdown compared to nine carries nineteen yards for Peyton Barbera. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.040 Rojoe Ronald Jones is someone that if you should check 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.440 the waiver wire if he's not there, I told you 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.920 last week. I'll tell you again. I got some other 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.640 things right, I got some other things wrong. We'll talk 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.680 about him on the other side of the break. Then 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.560 we'll talk waiver wire. We'll talk about the status over 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.880 Beats League and Monday Night Football. We got some stuff 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.080 to do. I hope Danny is ready with some drops 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.600 and some pictures and we'll take your calls if we 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.640 have some time at the end of the show as well. 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.560 I gotta acknowledge something though. You heard on a on 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.680 a commercial also that uh, I thought this could be 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.000 the week that Miami covered. Yeah, I was wrong, but 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.400 I'm gonna go back to the well now because they're 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.120 coming off then have a bye week five, and then 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.840 they have that Washington football team. I don't know who's 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.120 gonna be the quarterback for that team. I don't know 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.080 who will be the head coach for that team come 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.160 week six, but they both might be dead man walking. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.840 Look at it now, if you can, Miami gets it 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.920 done week six, Come on back. I'll tell you what 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.640 else I got right and wrong, and I'll tell you 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.360 how to spin it forward on the waiver wire so 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.440 you can win your leagues and win their cash. Episode 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:57.560 four hundred and four, Dilly Dilly bomb. Hey, thanks for 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.160 downloading this podcast. If you want to listen live, to 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.080 download the I Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:15.120 Sports Radio Network. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.960 Welcome back Episode four hundred and four The Fantasy Freestyle 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.440 right here on Sports Grade representing the status over beat 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.800 Cipher with the boy the spitting Statistician I just texted, 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.960 by the way, my man the closer Chris Venture. I 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.480 texted him free road Joe, and he was like, yeah, 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.479 you know that boy, Free that boy. That's what's up 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.200 um strong style in the chat room, I had completely 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.800 agree with you. You've heard me talk about this for months, 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.840 if not years. The idea of what is pass interference 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.600 these days is absolutely ridiculous. I think I told you 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.959 when they were deciding that they could replay this, this 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.680 was gonna be a very slippery slope. And uh, I'd 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.720 say it's turned out that way. From what is a catch, 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.320 to what is a tackle, to what is necessary roughness 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.280 to what is a domestic violence suspension? To what is 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.679 passing a fear arrands? We have no fin clue and 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.359 that is the league's problem. Alright, Um, some things I 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.800 got wrong though before two other things that I got right. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.160 All Right. I told you about Dolphins. I'm telling you 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.560 their next game though. They' getting a w Week six 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.120 home against Washington. Um. I told Java that I wasn't 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.880 gonna buy into the Will dis Lee hype, and at 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.240 this point it's for real. I did say that when 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.040 Seattle made that trade of Nick Vannett that it looked 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.440 like it was more that they believed in him right, 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.680 but he had another good game, seven for fifty seven 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.800 with another touchdown. He's performing his tight end five so 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.080 far this year, and I think it's real. I think 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.720 it's more sustainable than I used to. So um, you know, 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:39.440 go ahead and look for Will Displey. He is still 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.120 available in about ten or fifteen percent of leagues. I'll 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.639 check out on that a little bit later. Wrong. I 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.160 was wrong also on these Browns and Ravens. I thought 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:48.720 the Browns were here in the noise. I thought they 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.320 were gonna lay an egg. I thought the Ravens were 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.399 the real deal. Baker only got sacked once by this 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.160 Baltimore defense. And you know there's Baltimore defense who I've 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.000 been riding with. Gave a five hundred and thirty yard 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.600 cards and a forty burger. I was wrong on that game, 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.960 although Sunday morning, I did say that that game over 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.360 was one of my plays. So you know, even when 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.119 you get something wrong, you still kind of get something right. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.919 And I gotta tell you something. The team I am 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.920 probably the most wrong on, or have been the most 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.200 wrong on, so far this season, and I gotta acknowledge 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.920 it is the damn Atlanta Falcons listen. I was talking 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.440 about them, you know, the thirteen home games. I thought 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.320 when Drew Brees went down that they had the inside 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.960 track on the division. They I can't figure them out. 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.720 They are now one in three. And here's the thing. 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.760 The names are all still there, right, Ryan Julio Freeman. 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.520 So at what point let's start looking at the coach Now. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.440 I'm not gonna be booking McFarland and start talking about 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.639 how people need to get fired. But like, I can't 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.840 figure them out. I do know that, you know, they 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.400 tried to address their offensive line issues and their two 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.960 first round picks got hurt. I know that they tried 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.240 to get Sarkesian out of there and now they have cutterback. 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:52.439 All of those guys are still there, but it's just 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.119 not working. I am officially off the Atlanta Falcons. I 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.320 can't figure them out. There. This team that should be good, 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.199 but just for some reason, it's not. I'm gonna need 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.120 to wait and see it before I put my money 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:03.200 behind the two other things I got right, Danny, get 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.439
