Speaker 1: one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds, a
Speaker 1: k A to Spitting Statistician a k A to Stable
Speaker 1: Genius and vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition of
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network,
Speaker 1: episode four oh four, the four hundred and fourth convening
Speaker 1: of the Stats Overbeat Cipher. We gotta look back at
Speaker 1: week four. Four's a while, you know, Week four Takeaways,
Speaker 1: Episode four oh four, and some of y'all teams are
Speaker 1: trying to get to four and oh in your quest
Speaker 1: to win your league and win that cash. And we're
Speaker 1: gonna help you out. You know, We're gonna We're gonna
Speaker 1: look at the waiver wires. Who are diamonds out there
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. Who are some fool gazes that
Speaker 1: you in fact need to forget about. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: what Speed's got, right, We'll tell you what Speed's got wrong.
Speaker 1: I'll give you my biggest takeaways from the week that was,
Speaker 1: and then we'll look forward to Monday Night Football. Okay,
Speaker 1: when we have the Cincinnati Bengals and I guess remnants
Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'll give you some prop bets.
Speaker 1: I'll give you some things. Oh by the way, on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Uh my number one prop bet that I gave you
Speaker 1: before Thursday Night Football was take all the overs with
Speaker 1: Davante Adams if you remember correctly, Um, hopefully you want
Speaker 1: some money with that. But I digress. Let's get into it.
Speaker 1: We gotta pull question up as well, and I think
Speaker 1: it's a very interesting one. Real deal status over beat
Speaker 1: Cipher fans know that I've been saying that, like early
Speaker 1: in the season when I put polls out then we
Speaker 1: look back on them later, and the status of bad
Speaker 1: Cipher was like, there's a reason to fade the public.
Speaker 1: So let's test this out. Who do you believe in
Speaker 1: to win the NFC North these days? I mean, look
Speaker 1: at these teams. Okay, you got right now, You've got
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers at three and one, but they
Speaker 1: look like I could run on them on Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 1: So and the developing offense with Matt lafior Do you
Speaker 1: believe in them? I told you they're my pick, But
Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot of other stuff. Right, what about
Speaker 1: the What about the three and one Bears? What about
Speaker 1: the three and one Bears who got a victory and
Speaker 1: almost shut out in Minnesota yesterday but lost their quarterback
Speaker 1: for a time? What about the Detroit Lions at two
Speaker 1: one and one, who listen, look good? In my opinion,
Speaker 1: you have to start considering Detroit, okay, you have to
Speaker 1: start considering them as like a legitimate team that can,
Speaker 1: you know, compete with everybody out there. They're building a
Speaker 1: culture out there. And then there is Minnesota, who is
Speaker 1: two and two. A lot of people like the Vikings
Speaker 1: going into the season. Have you seen something at this
Speaker 1: point after four games a quarter of the season to
Speaker 1: make you want to jump ship. I'll give you a
Speaker 1: quote from all Pro Pro Bowl person on Minnesota that
Speaker 1: may give you cause for pause a little bit later
Speaker 1: on in this show, But I gotta tell you people,
Speaker 1: week four, the public got crushed. Going into Sunday night,
Speaker 1: only two home teams won. You know how much I
Speaker 1: love the home teams? Right? Only two home teams one
Speaker 1: yesterday during the day, not counting the Saints, right, those
Speaker 1: were the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears. There
Speaker 1: were road teams left and right that went in and
Speaker 1: got the job done. And listen, a lot of people
Speaker 1: were off. Okay, Tennessee goes into Atlanta and wins. Oakland
Speaker 1: goes into Indian wins. Tampa Bay goes into Los Angeles
Speaker 1: and wins. Cleveland goes into Baltimore and wins. Right Carolina
Speaker 1: goes into Houston and wins. I'm telling you, just when
Speaker 1: everybody thought they had their narratives formed, right I I
Speaker 1: it's not that way just yet. I told you to
Speaker 1: exercise patients. I told you that what some of these
Speaker 1: teams were doing, they were doing against different kind of competition.
Speaker 1: What was real, what was not? I say, patients, And
Speaker 1: I say, we really want to see who these teams are.
Speaker 1: And I think last yesterday was a great reminder to
Speaker 1: people left and right that you gotta take it all
Speaker 1: and step back in a comprehensive picture. You can't just
Speaker 1: be so reactionary to what you saw in one week.
Speaker 1: I tell people on Patreon, on Twitter, in the chat room,
Speaker 1: and boy did that play out yesterday. If you had
Speaker 1: some people even in you know, Survivor settings. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people had the rams, the colts and
Speaker 1: Survivor settings. I know a lot of people who had
Speaker 1: those teams and parlays and teasers. Okay, you gotta step
Speaker 1: back and see the narratives truly formed. Another thing. Remember
Speaker 1: I'm doing the count. We've had eight teams going into
Speaker 1: last week that have had more than one quarterback. Well
Speaker 1: it's now up to eleven. Three teams also got another
Speaker 1: quarterback involved. Okay, Josh Allen went down with a head
Speaker 1: injury in New England. By the way, I think that
Speaker 1: was dirty. Um Mitchell Trobinsky goes down. He's got what
Speaker 1: they're saying is a dislocated shoulder and a slight tear
Speaker 1: of his labor um. Keep an eye out on that.
Speaker 1: They're gonna try and sneak him past the London game
Speaker 1: against Oakland next week, then they have a bye. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, I'm worried this is gonna be
Speaker 1: something like cam where they say, oh, we'll see it's
Speaker 1: week to week, but then they boom on Monday be like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm coming back this week. Then we see next week,
Speaker 1: so we'll see with Rabinsky, and of course Dwayne Haskins
Speaker 1: got his first action yesterday as well. I don't know,
Speaker 1: if you're a Washington football team fan, if you were
Speaker 1: happy with what you saw, thinking that that is the future,
Speaker 1: there are other you know, injuries. Listen, Football is a
Speaker 1: violent game. And here's the thing on Thursday night, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna go all the way back to Thursday, right,
Speaker 1: because we haven't spoken since then. All from takeaways from
Speaker 1: what I got right, what I got wrong, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But when two people get backboarded and carted out, you know,
Speaker 1: you can see it is an incredibly violent game. Davante
Speaker 1: Adams with a toe, Jamal Williams just cleared from the hospital.
Speaker 1: We said about Alan and Trabinsky, Listen, there's other people
Speaker 1: that around. Kenny Stills with a hamstring, t J. Hockenson
Speaker 1: trying to hurdle someone, which is like the new move
Speaker 1: these days. Defenders are getting hip to a t J.
Speaker 1: Hockenson with a head and neck injury. Okay, and then
Speaker 1: there's some other stuff that is just kind of you know,
Speaker 1: we need to talk about a little bit because they're
Speaker 1: not necessarily full on injury notes. Their injury notes with
Speaker 1: some interesting context, so we're gonna do those. Will give
Speaker 1: you my takeaways what Speed's got right and wrong, will
Speaker 1: turn the page forward, looking at waiver wires at every position.
Speaker 1: Who's a diamond of will answer your questions. We'll look
Speaker 1: at the status of a Beats league. We got a
Speaker 1: new first place team and the cipher should be happy
Speaker 1: about it. And uh we'll talk Thursday Monday Night football
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, episode four hundred and four. Dilly Dilly,
Speaker 1: I'm all right back, Dilly dilly. This butt night platinum
Speaker 1: thing is a problem. Hey, thanks for downloading this podcast.
Speaker 1: If you want to listen live, be sure to download
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Thanks for listening and enjoyed the show. Welcome back.
Speaker 1: Oh maha, yes, oh my god, I used to I
Speaker 1: I renamed a fantasy football team once that had Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning as my quarterback. Oh maha, yes, oh my god,
Speaker 1: when it used to be like oh maha at the line.
Speaker 1: And of course, give a big shout out to tribe
Speaker 1: called quest, big shout out to the stats over Beats speer.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, let that bump until we get taken off
Speaker 1: of YouTube, Danny, I don't know how many seconds it is.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Oh maha, yes, oh my god. Um,
Speaker 1: there's some great lines from that song. But that's another
Speaker 1: time for another day. UM check it out. Uh you
Speaker 1: guys heard in the commercial. They're me and Joe ROONNERI
Speaker 1: talking this this morning about a certain prop bet that
Speaker 1: I put out there as a lock that my home girl,
Speaker 1: Jennifer Henderson Real Deal Stats over Beats members said she
Speaker 1: hoped it didn't happen, but I told her, I hope
Speaker 1: you bet it, because it's going to happen. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about and I'll give you some visual proof of what
Speaker 1: I was talking about a little bit later on in
Speaker 1: the show. Uh uh, Jilly, don't be, don't be, don't
Speaker 1: be grossed out. But in any event, in any event,
Speaker 1: all right, so let's get into that. We got some
Speaker 1: other entries people in the chat room. We're also noting
Speaker 1: Christian kirk wide out from the Arizona Cardinals. He got
Speaker 1: banged up, he's got an ankle. Uh. Kingsbury is talking
Speaker 1: about We'll see and remember, guys, I'm not back until Thursday, right.
Speaker 1: You see the practice reports on Wednesday? Then you see
Speaker 1: how it is trending. Are they upgraded from limited to
Speaker 1: full or from d NP too limited or vice versa.
Speaker 1: That's the way you look at it. Also, want to
Speaker 1: let you guys know, uh, Jay Gruden has quote unquote
Speaker 1: supreme confidence in Colt McCoy for week five. Apparently Coult
Speaker 1: McCoy is healthy and he may be the guy who
Speaker 1: becomes you know, the sacrificial lamb uh for their game
Speaker 1: because by the way, they played the New England Patriots
Speaker 1: next week. And I'm gonna tell you guys right now,
Speaker 1: Week six Washington verse myan me, Yeah, it's in Miami.
Speaker 1: Miami has a by week five. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna take Miami. I'm gonna take Miami
Speaker 1: week six against the Washington football team in Miami. I'll
Speaker 1: lay the points. I don't care that's the one, but
Speaker 1: I digress in any event. Also, um listen, Sam Donald
Speaker 1: has been cleared for non contact drills. Okay, but the
Speaker 1: team is saying that he's like a little bit lighter
Speaker 1: than they thought. He was a little bit slower to
Speaker 1: get starting running and lifting and quite frankly getting out
Speaker 1: of bed. So this idea where he's talking about he
Speaker 1: wants to be back for week five. That ain't happening people,
Speaker 1: all right. Also, you know who might be back? You
Speaker 1: heard this week Ja a Giant has said he is
Speaker 1: coming back in a c L injury. He's letting all
Speaker 1: thirty two teams. No, I think there's a value for him.
Speaker 1: I told you listen. I know Wayne Goldman looked good.
Speaker 1: Put it in my eye. But the Giants could use them. Uh,
Speaker 1: green Bay just lost Jamal Williams. They could use them.
Speaker 1: Atlanta seems to be able to need maybe need a
Speaker 1: running back, right, so I think there will be a
Speaker 1: market for j G I e interesting status or you
Speaker 1: incredibly deep league and people are saying it in the
Speaker 1: chat room. Vantes Perfect looks like he's facing a year
Speaker 1: long suspension for his hit on Jack Doyle. And I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you something. I'm fine with that. But if
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, then y'all need to look at
Speaker 1: the hit that the Patriots put on Josh Allen, okay,
Speaker 1: because that did not look closher to me. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not even here talking to game more
Speaker 1: and see the Bills fan. But I digress. Listen, My
Speaker 1: main narrative from Week four is that every team has
Speaker 1: their flaws. Every team is flawed. There is no perfect
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. There is no dominant team in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Every team is without his flaws, and some
Speaker 1: of them were exposed like yesterday and over the course
Speaker 1: of the last couple of weeks. Here's the catch, though,
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at teams that I think can go
Speaker 1: the route because in the playoffs they always say your
Speaker 1: flaws or what gets exposed, I'm looking for teams that
Speaker 1: can win even when they don't bring their a game.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I saw that from some teams yesterday. Okay,
Speaker 1: I saw New England in a tough road game, and
Speaker 1: you gotta give the Bill's credit. It's a tough role game.
Speaker 1: I saw their special teams come up big with a touchdown.
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs. I saw return a fumble for
Speaker 1: a hundred yards for a touchdown on a day when
Speaker 1: Patty Mahomes didn't throw for a touchdown and their defense
Speaker 1: gave up thirty. I saw the New Wing the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Okay, get clutch field goals for Will Lutch
Speaker 1: which he's been doing all season long, and actually manage
Speaker 1: a game and have that defense cause fumbles from two
Speaker 1: Hall of famers on the other side of the ball.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Jason Witten and likely Zeke Elliott as well.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You talk about some of these
Speaker 1: other contenders with the Rams. I don't know if Jared
Speaker 1: Goff is that dude. I don't know why everyone that.
Speaker 1: Why did they give Jared Goff a hundred ten hundred
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars? Is he really worth it? Do they really?
Speaker 1: Is that deal gonna look good? And I think he
Speaker 1: could be an issue for them. He was missing open
Speaker 1: receivers yesterday. All right, for the for deep, for green Bay,
Speaker 1: for Baltimore, their defense have been exposed in the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I was high in this green Bay defense.
Speaker 1: I still like the secondary, but you can run on
Speaker 1: green Bay. We saw Philly do that. This Baltimore team
Speaker 1: got eviscerated yesterday defensively. Alright, what do you want to
Speaker 1: tell me about Chicago as a team, Pittsburgh as a team,
Speaker 1: Jacksonville as a team with quarterback injuries. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what narratives I believe you can form. There's one forming
Speaker 1: about the Minnesota vikings that I'm telling you that I
Speaker 1: think has implications for your fantasy teams. All right, Um,
Speaker 1: Minnesota is going to be a run heavy team this year. Guys,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be last year like Dallas and like Seattle.
Speaker 1: And you know how last year in Dallas and Seattle,
Speaker 1: I was not on Tyler Lockett. I was not on
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop and guys like that. Minnesota wants to run
Speaker 1: the ball. Kirk Cousins when thirty six yesterday, but that
Speaker 1: was because they were down big in games the way
Speaker 1: they want to play. In weeks one through three, he
Speaker 1: had eight completions, fourteen completions. And now listen to what
Speaker 1: Adam feeling. He's got feeling. Listen to what he's saying.
Speaker 1: All Right, he said after the embarrassing lost Chicago quote,
Speaker 1: at some point, you're not gonna be able to run
Speaker 1: the ball for a hundred eighty yards, even if we
Speaker 1: do have one of the best backs in the NFL.
Speaker 1: That's when you have to be able to throw the ball. Okay.
Speaker 1: He then says, you have to be able to make plays.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to hit the deep balls.
Speaker 1: You have to do that. People are thinking, Listen if
Speaker 1: he's talking and chirping, and he's already the higher kind
Speaker 1: of targeted guy. Uh Kenya digs it. I think I
Speaker 1: know he had a good game yesterday. I would sell
Speaker 1: because he had the good game yesterday. He had a
Speaker 1: big play. But I think what we saw the first
Speaker 1: three weeks, or really closer, what we're gonna see on
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. Also, um, with these new quarterbacks, they're gonna
Speaker 1: regress to the mean. I mean Daniel Jones, Gardner, Minshew
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, and Teddy Bridgewater are now eight NOAHS starters
Speaker 1: so far. Okay, where are these narratives really forming? And
Speaker 1: remember what I said that all these teams have flaws.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned to things consistently and a couple of teams
Speaker 1: consistently that fall prey to this. The offensive line continues
Speaker 1: to be a problem for some key teams. Okay, the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans had six sacks on Deshaun Watson yesterday. They
Speaker 1: continue to not be able to protect him. I don't
Speaker 1: care if they traded for Laramie tunselan use their first
Speaker 1: round pick on a guy six sacks. It ain't gonna work.
Speaker 1: We see DeAndre Hopkins still, you know you know borderline
Speaker 1: fugazi right now, and it's because DeShawn Watson has no
Speaker 1: no time. Uh Minnesota Kirk Cousins got sacks six times.
Speaker 1: That offensive line continues to be a problem. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: they cannot give him time. It's been years. Oh and
Speaker 1: by the way, the Atlanta Falcons, they gave up five sacks.
Speaker 1: This is a team that if they can't protect Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: he is not mobile. It don't matter if you have
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley if if you cannot protect Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: And I know they invested two first round picks on
Speaker 1: that this year, but guess what. Both of them are
Speaker 1: banged up. One of them is already on I R Okay,
Speaker 1: the Rams had thirteen penalties yesterday. Washington had twelve penalties.
Speaker 1: This is some sloppy play, bad old line play, and
Speaker 1: that ain't gonna change. So with all that context, I
Speaker 1: asked you, who do you trust in the NFC North
Speaker 1: That is the poll question. Up. I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: your thoughts. Let's talk about some of the things that
Speaker 1: I got right, some of the things I got wrong.
Speaker 1: All right, I told you all about the patients on
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. I said he was gonna have a game
Speaker 1: like Mike Evans did, and boyd, I didn't know he
Speaker 1: was gonna have the exact same yardage total of a
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards. I'd say Speed's got that in
Speaker 1: the prop bets, absolutely right. Um. I also told you
Speaker 1: guys last week on the waiver wire free Ronald Jones.
Speaker 1: I told you that Peyton Barbera was just the guy,
Speaker 1: and I told you that over time Rojo would be
Speaker 1: getting more carries. Well, Rojo nineteen carries, seven yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown compared to nine carries nineteen yards for Peyton Barbera.
Speaker 1: Rojoe Ronald Jones is someone that if you should check
Speaker 1: the waiver wire if he's not there, I told you
Speaker 1: last week. I'll tell you again. I got some other
Speaker 1: things right, I got some other things wrong. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about him on the other side of the break. Then
Speaker 1: we'll talk waiver wire. We'll talk about the status over
Speaker 1: Beats League and Monday Night Football. We got some stuff
Speaker 1: to do. I hope Danny is ready with some drops
Speaker 1: and some pictures and we'll take your calls if we
Speaker 1: have some time at the end of the show as well.
Speaker 1: I gotta acknowledge something though. You heard on a on
Speaker 1: a commercial also that uh, I thought this could be
Speaker 1: the week that Miami covered. Yeah, I was wrong, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the well now because they're
Speaker 1: coming off then have a bye week five, and then
Speaker 1: they have that Washington football team. I don't know who's
Speaker 1: gonna be the quarterback for that team. I don't know
Speaker 1: who will be the head coach for that team come
Speaker 1: week six, but they both might be dead man walking.
Speaker 1: Look at it now, if you can, Miami gets it
Speaker 1: done week six, Come on back. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: else I got right and wrong, and I'll tell you
Speaker 1: how to spin it forward on the waiver wire so
Speaker 1: you can win your leagues and win their cash. Episode
Speaker 1: four hundred and four, Dilly Dilly bomb. Hey, thanks for
Speaker 1: downloading this podcast. If you want to listen live, to
Speaker 1: download the I Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show.
Speaker 1: Welcome back Episode four hundred and four The Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: right here on Sports Grade representing the status over beat
Speaker 1: Cipher with the boy the spitting Statistician I just texted,
Speaker 1: by the way, my man the closer Chris Venture. I
Speaker 1: texted him free road Joe, and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that boy, Free that boy. That's what's up
Speaker 1: um strong style in the chat room, I had completely
Speaker 1: agree with you. You've heard me talk about this for months,
Speaker 1: if not years. The idea of what is pass interference
Speaker 1: these days is absolutely ridiculous. I think I told you
Speaker 1: when they were deciding that they could replay this, this
Speaker 1: was gonna be a very slippery slope. And uh, I'd
Speaker 1: say it's turned out that way. From what is a catch,
Speaker 1: to what is a tackle, to what is necessary roughness
Speaker 1: to what is a domestic violence suspension? To what is
Speaker 1: passing a fear arrands? We have no fin clue and
Speaker 1: that is the league's problem. Alright, Um, some things I
Speaker 1: got wrong though before two other things that I got right.
Speaker 1: All Right. I told you about Dolphins. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: their next game though. They' getting a w Week six
Speaker 1: home against Washington. Um. I told Java that I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna buy into the Will dis Lee hype, and at
Speaker 1: this point it's for real. I did say that when
Speaker 1: Seattle made that trade of Nick Vannett that it looked
Speaker 1: like it was more that they believed in him right,
Speaker 1: but he had another good game, seven for fifty seven
Speaker 1: with another touchdown. He's performing his tight end five so
Speaker 1: far this year, and I think it's real. I think
Speaker 1: it's more sustainable than I used to. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: go ahead and look for Will Displey. He is still
Speaker 1: available in about ten or fifteen percent of leagues. I'll
Speaker 1: check out on that a little bit later. Wrong. I
Speaker 1: was wrong also on these Browns and Ravens. I thought
Speaker 1: the Browns were here in the noise. I thought they
Speaker 1: were gonna lay an egg. I thought the Ravens were
Speaker 1: the real deal. Baker only got sacked once by this
Speaker 1: Baltimore defense. And you know there's Baltimore defense who I've
Speaker 1: been riding with. Gave a five hundred and thirty yard
Speaker 1: cards and a forty burger. I was wrong on that game,
Speaker 1: although Sunday morning, I did say that that game over
Speaker 1: was one of my plays. So you know, even when
Speaker 1: you get something wrong, you still kind of get something right.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you something. The team I am
Speaker 1: probably the most wrong on, or have been the most
Speaker 1: wrong on, so far this season, and I gotta acknowledge
Speaker 1: it is the damn Atlanta Falcons listen. I was talking
Speaker 1: about them, you know, the thirteen home games. I thought
Speaker 1: when Drew Brees went down that they had the inside
Speaker 1: track on the division. They I can't figure them out.
Speaker 1: They are now one in three. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The names are all still there, right, Ryan Julio Freeman.
Speaker 1: So at what point let's start looking at the coach Now.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be booking McFarland and start talking about
Speaker 1: how people need to get fired. But like, I can't
Speaker 1: figure them out. I do know that, you know, they
Speaker 1: tried to address their offensive line issues and their two
Speaker 1: first round picks got hurt. I know that they tried
Speaker 1: to get Sarkesian out of there and now they have cutterback.
Speaker 1: All of those guys are still there, but it's just
Speaker 1: not working. I am officially off the Atlanta Falcons. I
Speaker 1: can't figure them out. There. This team that should be good,
Speaker 1: but just for some reason, it's not. I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: to wait and see it before I put my money
Speaker 1: behind the two other things I got right, Danny, get
Speaker 1: the drop ready. I told you our guy with the
Speaker 1: cutting of C. J. Anderson was a new bell Cow.
Speaker 1: It didn't work out that great. Last week when you
Speaker 1: only had twenty carries for thirty six yards or someone.
Speaker 1: But yesterday twenty six carries a hundred and twenty five
Speaker 1: yards and two catches for another thirty two overall hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty five scrimmage yards. People. And by the way,
Speaker 1: here's the best part. Over the last two weeks, the
Speaker 1: only running back in the NFL to touch it more
Speaker 1: than my guy has been Christian McCaffrey. This is a
Speaker 1: volume game, and he is now becoming a workload. Todd Gurley,
Speaker 1: y'all thought he was a workload. I said he wasn't.
Speaker 1: Damian Williams, you're like, oh, first round pick. He thought
Speaker 1: he was a workhorse. I said he wasn't. Some of
Speaker 1: these guys are not workhorses. And now our guy is
Speaker 1: Danny play the drop, Jerry, Jerry. There you go. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Only Christian McCaffrey has more touches
Speaker 1: than carry on over the last couple of weeks. And
Speaker 1: if you saw the way they want to play, I
Speaker 1: think that will continue. So, uh, Mendel call my guys
Speaker 1: full gazzies, but I think they're trending in the right direction.
Speaker 1: And if you give my guy twenty and then twenty
Speaker 1: six carries in two weeks in a row, more than
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, more than Zeke Elliott, more than Leonard Fournette
Speaker 1: who went off yesterday. I will take what I get
Speaker 1: in that offense. And here's the other thing. I told
Speaker 1: you about a prop bet that was gonna happen in Buffalo, right,
Speaker 1: And Jennifer Henderson, you know you gotta love her. On
Speaker 1: my Patreon, She's like, oh my god, I hope that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. And I was like, Jennifer, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we have the inside track. You hope it does happen,
Speaker 1: so you can bet it. And we talked about it's
Speaker 1: a commercial on the net. On the network, Danny put
Speaker 1: up the screen, put up the picture. What do we
Speaker 1: got here? All right? How hard could it be for
Speaker 1: us to find out if there was a damn dildo
Speaker 1: thrown on the field and Buffalo people? All right? And
Speaker 1: then check out what this guy, Joe says on the bottom.
Speaker 1: There's video of a kicking the white dildo out the
Speaker 1: end of the end zone. Okay, I am trying to
Speaker 1: find this people, Okay, if anybody can find actual proof,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people Joe an ay this
Speaker 1: morning said it went down. I need proof. That's why
Speaker 1: they're not paying out the bet yet in a lot
Speaker 1: of places, because they don't know. They don't have all
Speaker 1: the proof that they need. So if you have proof
Speaker 1: that there was a device thrown on the field, and
Speaker 1: this bill's Pat's game, let me know. Alright, alright, let's
Speaker 1: go to the wild card. But I was right about
Speaker 1: that one. By the way, guys, it happened. Okay, multiple
Speaker 1: reports that there were multiple ones thrown pre game buildos
Speaker 1: on the field during the game. Of course, the TV
Speaker 1: is not gonna cut to it, but I think we
Speaker 1: went to change Jenny Henderson, all right, Um, waiver wire, alright,
Speaker 1: waiver wire at the running back position. Okay, at Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones is only all right. I'm texting right now. You
Speaker 1: can see I got text messages from who have you?
Speaker 1: Zoom in on that? Go ahead, go ahead, zoom in
Speaker 1: on that. Guys. Who's the person with with three text
Speaker 1: messages hitting me back? Who is that? Get the pen?
Speaker 1: It's Chris Ventra. It's Chris Ventra hitting me back. All right,
Speaker 1: it is Ventra hitting me back. Because I'm like free
Speaker 1: road Joe. I'm like free road Joe. It's I feel
Speaker 1: like Rudy Giuliani showing my cell phone and text messages
Speaker 1: to people. Don't worry about it. It's Ventra, all right.
Speaker 1: You can zoom out and I'm like, Yo, free Road Joe.
Speaker 1: Because Ronald Jones is only owned intent of leagues and
Speaker 1: you can still grab him. I say do it. His
Speaker 1: carries and touches will only go up. And Peyton Barber
Speaker 1: is just the guy, alright, his are only gonna go
Speaker 1: down at Yes, I will do it. Um, Jordan Howard
Speaker 1: owned he had three touchdowns on Thursday. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be doing all that, but he does have
Speaker 1: a piece in this offense, all right. So if you
Speaker 1: need a back, if the backs on by, our guy
Speaker 1: carry ons on by, you're still missing out with se
Speaker 1: Kwon or some others. Um, Chris Thompson is sixty six.
Speaker 1: He's on in two thirds of leaves a third of you.
Speaker 1: If you were in a PPR league and Chris Thompson
Speaker 1: is available, run right now and go pick him up.
Speaker 1: The Washington football team is gonna be losing games down
Speaker 1: in the half. Adrian P. Jerson will not be on
Speaker 1: the field. It'll be Chris Thompson. Go get Chris Thompson
Speaker 1: if you haven't already done so. I don't buy into
Speaker 1: Frank Gore at percent. Although we tip our cap he's
Speaker 1: gonna be like third the NFL all time in rushing.
Speaker 1: We praised the man, but I don't want him on
Speaker 1: a week to week basis, especially with Singletary coming back. Um.
Speaker 1: The other guy is listen to guys coming back who
Speaker 1: had to buy this week at a high ankle sprain
Speaker 1: after Week one, it's now Week five, four weeks later.
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. Tevin Coleman is owned in six to sixty
Speaker 1: five percent of leagues, about a third of league's I
Speaker 1: think he's worth a check. The nine is want to run.
Speaker 1: I know it's crowded there with the most start with Brita.
Speaker 1: But they signed Coleman, okay, this offseason. They have plans
Speaker 1: for Coleman. He knows that system. Okay, if you need
Speaker 1: a running back, I don't think that's a bad ad,
Speaker 1: whether he plays this week or you have him for
Speaker 1: the future. And one other guy I mentioned it before,
Speaker 1: I said it at the top ja Gi. He's proven himself.
Speaker 1: He's saying he's healthy, alright, He's gonna be on a
Speaker 1: roster in two weeks. People, if you want to get
Speaker 1: ahead of it and you really need that stash, go
Speaker 1: right ahead. So I like Jones, Coleman, Howard Thompson in
Speaker 1: and a gy I'm off Gore And honestly, I mean
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman had a great day. But I don't know
Speaker 1: that I'm on that because se Kwan is talking about
Speaker 1: he wants to beat his four week timeline. So we
Speaker 1: shall see at the wide receiver position. Alright, at the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position, listen, Golden Tate is owned in forty
Speaker 1: of leagues. That's half of leagues. When people dropped the
Speaker 1: Golden Tate with the suspension and all that, they thought
Speaker 1: this offense was going to be quarterbacked by Eli Manning.
Speaker 1: Now with Daniel Jones Danny Dimes under center, might you
Speaker 1: think a little bit differently about what Golden Tate could
Speaker 1: do in that offense as a security blanket and as
Speaker 1: a short kind of guy in the short routes. I
Speaker 1: think he's viable, all right. The offense is a lot
Speaker 1: better than it was three weeks ago. He's unowned in
Speaker 1: half of leagues. I say, with his suspension, now up,
Speaker 1: go out and get him. Courtland Sutton is only owned
Speaker 1: in fifty four percent of leagues, about half you can
Speaker 1: get him. Over the course of the last four weeks
Speaker 1: this season he has He's averaging eight targets a game.
Speaker 1: I know people like Manny Sanders, I was wrong about
Speaker 1: day Shawn Hamilton's Courtland's out and had a big game yesterday,
Speaker 1: But I think he is the ascending wide receiver there
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, I'm excuse me. In Denver, a lot of
Speaker 1: people love Tennessee Titans A J. Brown who went off
Speaker 1: last week and is a very heavily added guy. He's
Speaker 1: owned in ten percent of leagues. I say no to A. J. Brown.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm not on him is I still don't
Speaker 1: trust Marcus Mariota. To me, Marcus Mariota is like the
Speaker 1: real Slim Shady. Will the real slim Shady please stand up.
Speaker 1: That's the way I feel about Mariota and this Tennessee offense.
Speaker 1: Even on games when they're on, they're still Corey Davis,
Speaker 1: there's still Delaney Walker. They still run it with Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's enough to go around there
Speaker 1: for a full on fantasy herd. I think a J.
Speaker 1: Brown had his best day of the season yesterday, So
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to chase those points
Speaker 1: because then the points start running away from you. All right, However,
Speaker 1: I just talked about Tevin Coleman on a buy right
Speaker 1: and coming back. There's a team the Jets were also
Speaker 1: want to buy. The Jets have looked like dog Pool
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, but that was because Falk was
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks. Sam Donald is coming back soon, whether that's
Speaker 1: next week or the week after that. Robby Anderson owned
Speaker 1: worth of check. Jamison Crowder cent owned the same Jamison
Speaker 1: crowd that when Sam Donald was there in week when
Speaker 1: he had fourteen catches worth a check. This Jets offense
Speaker 1: is going to look different when Sam Donald is back there.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, they're not playing against the
Speaker 1: damn New England Patriots. Okay, don't be too twisted. And
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver out there, that's not I
Speaker 1: mean not Wonber one, but the other wide out add
Speaker 1: Gabe Morency is all over this guy every single week
Speaker 1: on his prop bets. Cole Beasley guys is only owned
Speaker 1: in twelve percent of leagues, and he had nine targets
Speaker 1: Week one. Ten targets week three, thirteen targets yesterday. That
Speaker 1: is a safe floor when the boys are coming up.
Speaker 1: I know buys are coming up. The Lions have bys, right,
Speaker 1: you may have a Marvin Jones, you may have a
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, Cole Beasley. I think is a nice safe
Speaker 1: floor target for these bye weeks. Only on and twelve
Speaker 1: percent of leagues at the tight end position. I only
Speaker 1: got a minute left. I told you about Robby Anderson
Speaker 1: and Jameson Crowder. Well, Chris Herndon's suspension is gonna be
Speaker 1: up pretty soon too. And at only thirty six percent owned,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is very interesting to me. He was getting
Speaker 1: involved in the offense on Thursday night. Oh and by
Speaker 1: the way, word is coming out that Davante Adams does
Speaker 1: not look like he's gonna go this week for the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. That means more opportunity for Jimmy Graham.
Speaker 1: At only thirty six percent. If he's unowned in your league,
Speaker 1: he may be worth it because tight end has been
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire. All right, Danny, let's open the phone
Speaker 1: lines for the last segment. The number the call is
Speaker 1: eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine
Speaker 1: if you want to talk to the spitting statistician, we
Speaker 1: put the fun and functional sports content. We break down
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, we take a look at the stats
Speaker 1: over Beats League. We take your calls and questions. All
Speaker 1: that and more. It's episode four hundred and four of
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle two time nominee. You know what it
Speaker 1: is with the spitting statisticians. Dilly Dilly, come all right
Speaker 1: back to heard. Hey, thanks for downloading this podcast. If
Speaker 1: you want to listen live, be sure to download the
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening and enjoy the show. Welcome back Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle Episode four hundred and four. I got a question
Speaker 1: from Fuki Booky in the chat room. Has an embarrassment
Speaker 1: of riches at tight end has George Kittle, Darren Waller
Speaker 1: and Will dis Lee wants to know who should he
Speaker 1: move or for value? And uh, I think that's the
Speaker 1: order of how much I would like them rest of season. Okay, Kittle,
Speaker 1: then Waller than dis Lee, and honestly I would not
Speaker 1: move Kittle. You know why. He's already gotten through his
Speaker 1: by Okay, you don't have to worry about another bye
Speaker 1: week out of Kittle alright, So for me it would
Speaker 1: be see what I could get for Waller or Disple.
Speaker 1: These are guys are performing right now? Is tight ends
Speaker 1: like four, five or six, depending on your settings. I
Speaker 1: would not I would keep Kittle because he just got
Speaker 1: through his by I would look to move either Waller
Speaker 1: or Dislike. I also texted Chris Ventra back over the
Speaker 1: break and I was like, Yo, what's up? What it was?
Speaker 1: We were playing against each other this week in Greenwich
Speaker 1: Street Tavern, the Expert League, and I um, I took
Speaker 1: him down. I took him down. I beat him, but
Speaker 1: it was a close one, not a game of inches,
Speaker 1: but a close one. We both put up decent numbers.
Speaker 1: I put up one fifty nine point to five. He
Speaker 1: put up one point nine five. Needed more out of
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas as his last shot at me last night.
Speaker 1: He needed like twenty eight. He got like eighteen. Didn't
Speaker 1: work out for him. But I digress. So that's what
Speaker 1: we were talking about. UM, what are you gonna do? Right?
Speaker 1: Excuse me? All right, So let's break it down. Let's
Speaker 1: see if we got some callers. Remember, if you want
Speaker 1: to holler at me, we gottah you want to talk
Speaker 1: about the spitting statistician. What's going on here? For a
Speaker 1: week four Monday Night football waivers? Anything like that we
Speaker 1: could do with eight for four, eight for three, six,
Speaker 1: eight seven nine before we get into Monday Night football. Danny,
Speaker 1: I need you, my friend. We gotta talk stats over
Speaker 1: beats for a second, Danny, Are you with me here?
Speaker 1: All right? So Danny, we've had some interesting things going on.
Speaker 1: And you see how it's the cough button for a reason, Danny,
Speaker 1: It's called the cough button. We got some interesting things
Speaker 1: here in our league. First of all, I'm not counting
Speaker 1: any chickens before they hatch. I'm playing um the thunder
Speaker 1: down Onder the Australian team. I am nine likely to win. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm done. Uh down Under still has James Conner, but
Speaker 1: I'm up by like thirty one points, so I feel
Speaker 1: good about that. And if you're not in the league,
Speaker 1: then the first place team played the second place team
Speaker 1: uh this weekend and the second place team won, and
Speaker 1: the second place team is likely going to be now
Speaker 1: in first place. And everybody, I kid you not the
Speaker 1: dead mother of the stats over Beats cipher Jilly Dilley
Speaker 1: taking out Young Cars thirty seven or one oh three.
Speaker 1: She is now sitting at three and one and with
Speaker 1: the point total. I will say this though, all right,
Speaker 1: there is a chance that my man Tampa pick six,
Speaker 1: Remember John G, Danny, he was here with us on set.
Speaker 1: There's a chance because he still has a player left
Speaker 1: to go, um, he is going to win as well.
Speaker 1: It looks like if you look at the UH stats,
Speaker 1: if you look at the scores and stuff, it looks
Speaker 1: like John G and the Tampa pick six is gonna
Speaker 1: get a big w and he still has who does
Speaker 1: he still have left tonight? He still has a Pittsburgh defense,
Speaker 1: and if he gets like fifteen or so points at
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh defense, he can overtake Jilly Dilley for the
Speaker 1: one spot. I feel good. But you know what's interesting, Danny,
Speaker 1: it seems like James Connor is the name everybody needs. Right. Um,
Speaker 1: my opponent in this league has James Conner. My opponent
Speaker 1: in another league. I'm in the pit pit of misery
Speaker 1: here at the Staff League. I'm playing Jim Day this week.
Speaker 1: Jim Day has Connor, I believe, and needs some points
Speaker 1: against me or else He's gonna go down My long
Speaker 1: dying the home league. I uh have the only player left,
Speaker 1: James Conner. I'm down eight in a PPR league, Danny,
Speaker 1: you still need something out of Connor too, right, I
Speaker 1: do in other league, your other league. What you need
Speaker 1: in your other league? Need at least two points. I
Speaker 1: think you're safe. I think you're safe. Okay, instead of
Speaker 1: unless it's not knock on wood, you know some kind
Speaker 1: of horrible injury that will eviscerate everybody's fantasy hopes. But um,
Speaker 1: I think you're safe in that you're in the stats
Speaker 1: with the Beats league. I think it's interesting for you, Danny.
Speaker 1: It looks like you got no shot. It looks because
Speaker 1: you're down by forty four points. Okay, who are you
Speaker 1: playing this week? Um, Danny you would Oh yeah, Jeremy McMahon.
Speaker 1: You were down by like forty some odd points. The
Speaker 1: team enhanced. But tonight you have Juju Smith Schuster going
Speaker 1: and Joe Mixon right there. That could be thirty points each.
Speaker 1: That's definitely viable. But wait, you also have John Ross
Speaker 1: that could be ten points getting you to forty. But wait,
Speaker 1: you also have Tyler Eiffort. Um. I think you could
Speaker 1: do it, Danny, What do you let me know what
Speaker 1: y'all thinks. That's would be Cipher in the chat room.
Speaker 1: He's down by forty four or forty three, but he's
Speaker 1: got juju and mixing and ross and effort. Danny, are
Speaker 1: you confident you can make this happen? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sitting down here with my fingers crossed
Speaker 1: the entire game. I hear that. I'm gonna be cheering
Speaker 1: for you, all right, I'm gonna be cheering with you
Speaker 1: because also you know, um, because you know Jeremy McMahon
Speaker 1: out there, who you're playing. He uh, he's you know,
Speaker 1: we could put him to bed. He's already like one
Speaker 1: and two. You give him another loss, they can start
Speaker 1: falling by the wayside, not managing as much, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So maybe you can get a W
Speaker 1: that would put you, Danny. If you get that W,
Speaker 1: you would go to three and one on the season. Here. Uh,
Speaker 1: it looks like Speed's is gonna get to two and two.
Speaker 1: Mendo also looks like he'll be at two and two.
Speaker 1: But you know, I digress. We'll see what's going up
Speaker 1: for that. Dan, me, who do you like tonight? Uh?
Speaker 1: Steelers Bengals? What do you think is gonna happen tonight?
Speaker 1: It's I mean, do I want the Steelers to do
Speaker 1: to score a lot more so like my to all
Speaker 1: of our fantasy teams to do better? Or maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know, like I mean, I guess I'm gotta go
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. I need, I need a big game
Speaker 1: from Jiuju and Connor. Okay, all right, so you like
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to win this game? Alright, So let's look forward
Speaker 1: and then I know, I think we got one or
Speaker 1: two people on the phone lines. Let's talk about my
Speaker 1: take on Monday night football. Then we'll answer some other
Speaker 1: people's questions because I know some people want to get
Speaker 1: uh you know what's been in statistician has out there.
Speaker 1: I was hitting you up on prop bets. I told
Speaker 1: you on Thursday my leading indicated would be Jacksonville, the
Speaker 1: home defense. That was right the prop bets on last
Speaker 1: week on Monday on Thursday. I've been giving you out winners.
Speaker 1: I've been giving you out prop bets. Remember to always
Speaker 1: hit me up on Patreon, hit me up on Twitter
Speaker 1: as well. That poll question is real interesting. Will recap
Speaker 1: that a little bit later on as well. Thank you
Speaker 1: to the over hundreds of people who have voted, and
Speaker 1: literally just the last hour or hour and a half,
Speaker 1: we appreciate that, all right, Danny. The Steelers are three
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites at home against Cincinnati. The
Speaker 1: total is forty. It's hovering between forty four and a
Speaker 1: half forty five and a half. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of people saw in
Speaker 1: Week four people looking different against different competition, looking different
Speaker 1: against different competition. That's what I think is the main
Speaker 1: narrative here, looking different against different competition. The Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 1: especially specifically, they're running game and James Conner. The game
Speaker 1: script was gone week one against New England. Okay, they
Speaker 1: were down like thirty to nothing if you remember that,
Speaker 1: So James Conner was not on the field. They weren't
Speaker 1: trying to run anymore because they got boat raced. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's my excuse for James Conner in week one. In
Speaker 1: Week three, these Steelers played the San Francisco forty Niners.
Speaker 1: At this point, people realize the Niners front seven and
Speaker 1: defense and run defense is actually good. So I think
Speaker 1: you get he gets a pass for me, and it's
Speaker 1: not like he was a horrible game either. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: not like this was some horrible, horrible game he had
Speaker 1: Week three. I mean, listen, I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 1: You know he had the forty three yards rushing on
Speaker 1: only thirteen carries. Also did a little bit of work
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Yeah, you want to see more,
Speaker 1: but he's end zone dependent. In Week two against Seattle
Speaker 1: where they lose their starting quarterback Big Ben in the
Speaker 1: middle of the game and have to bring in Mason Rudolph,
Speaker 1: he gets your thirteen fourteen points because he gets in
Speaker 1: the end zone. James Conner, I'm talking about now back
Speaker 1: home on Monday night with an offensive line that's hearing
Speaker 1: the whispers about how they're not good anymore, even though
Speaker 1: Pounce and Villin, Waver and to Castro are all still
Speaker 1: there against the team that is thirty first in the
Speaker 1: NFL against the run. Let me say that again, the
Speaker 1: Bengals are thirty first in the NFL against the run.
Speaker 1: I thought the Packers had a good defense, they didn't
Speaker 1: have a great run defense. Philly did work against them.
Speaker 1: Remember what San Francisco did on the run against these
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. That was the day where Matt Brita, and
Speaker 1: when he most start and Jeff Wilson went off, they
Speaker 1: ran for over two hundred yards against them. I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna see that Pittsburgh looks just fine running the
Speaker 1: ball against that kind of run defense, the same way
Speaker 1: we saw this happen a little bit on Thursday Night football.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see the Pittsburgh Steelers find success
Speaker 1: in the run game. I think James Conner is a
Speaker 1: decent prop bet. I know that James Conner so far
Speaker 1: this year has run for twenty one, thirty three and
Speaker 1: forty three yards. Okay, his prop bet this week when
Speaker 1: I got it, stood at sixty nine yards. I think
Speaker 1: against this defense, he will go over. Pittsburgh will run
Speaker 1: the ball well tonight on a path to victory. I'll
Speaker 1: say it again, Pittsburgh will run the ball well tonight
Speaker 1: on their way to victory. Give me the Connor props
Speaker 1: at over sixty nine and a half. Look, Dallas scored
Speaker 1: over thirty points for three weeks in a row against
Speaker 1: like New York Giants, Washington, right then they played New Orleans.
Speaker 1: It looks a lot different. I think the inverse happens
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense and specifically their run game.
Speaker 1: I like Pittsburgh to win this game outright. The three
Speaker 1: and a half to four. It scares me about the hook.
Speaker 1: Give me Pittsburgh moneyline, which is at minus one seventy.
Speaker 1: Give me James Conner prop bets over sixty nine and
Speaker 1: a half rushing yards. That's the way I think this
Speaker 1: one plays out. I like James Connor tonight, and boy
Speaker 1: if that's not a transition to end our show right
Speaker 1: now Connor and Tampa, I know he was down no
Speaker 1: rapping today. Connor, you gotta feel better about Jamison the
Speaker 1: crew going to Los Angeles. I hope things are on
Speaker 1: the up and up with you. I think they're on
Speaker 1: the up and up with James Connor. We we now
Speaker 1: take a call from Connor and Tampa. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Brother man? Yeah? Hey, um we should we should be
Speaker 1: three and one right now. But of course will ask. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hear that. The playoffs we're looking up, like you said, yeah.
Speaker 1: But between Jill Mixing or James Connor for the showdown tonight,
Speaker 1: I think it's mixing because here's the thing. I think
Speaker 1: the game script will be in Pittsburgh's favor. Connor, I
Speaker 1: think the game script will be with Pittsburgh winning. I
Speaker 1: think Giovanni Bernard might be on the field a little
Speaker 1: bit as they look to play out of the shotgun
Speaker 1: and throwing the ball a little bit more in the
Speaker 1: second half. When I see backs out of the caliber
Speaker 1: of Mixing and Connor, I looked to the game script
Speaker 1: and Connor. I think Pittsburgh is gonna win this game
Speaker 1: and be up. So I think Connor's running the ball,
Speaker 1: and since he's passing the ball, that's my more simplistic
Speaker 1: in a minute way of telling you why I would
Speaker 1: rather Connor than Mixing tonight. What else you got? Okay?
Speaker 1: And um for the waivers, for the waiter for this weekend,
Speaker 1: I got Paul on my team right now. What are
Speaker 1: you guys jumping for a J. A J. Brown? Yes,
Speaker 1: so I mentioned that I'm not big on A. J. Brown.
Speaker 1: I think that was a one shot kind of thing.
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker is a little bit interesting. You know, at
Speaker 1: least they're gonna be down and throwing in games, right
Speaker 1: And so I hear you the Paul Richardson thing. You know,
Speaker 1: I mean part of me I would say, you may
Speaker 1: want to hold onto them, but not against New England
Speaker 1: next week, right, and Stefon Gilmour. So if Parker is
Speaker 1: out there, I'm okay with it for Parker. I also
Speaker 1: mentioned some other guys members some of these Jets coming back.
Speaker 1: Maybe if Sam Donald is back as quarterback, guys like
Speaker 1: Jamison crowd O, Robby Anderson may be available in your league.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they are other people that I
Speaker 1: gave out earlier in the show, Courtland Sutton. Only owned
Speaker 1: in Cole Beasley as a guy to consider as well
Speaker 1: that I would have over Paul Richardson at this point.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. As always, Connor only got a
Speaker 1: minute left. I gotta get us out, but you're right
Speaker 1: Tampa looking better, and I hope you're on the up
Speaker 1: and up as well. Brother man. Uh yeah, I would
Speaker 1: make those waver moves. Thanks for the call, all right. So,
Speaker 1: like I said at people, all right, I've got Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: win in the game out right. I got the overs
Speaker 1: on the James Conner props, mostly because I think Cincinnati
Speaker 1: shows himself to be closer to Washington and Miami than
Speaker 1: some other these teams that are bouncing back. I don't.
Speaker 1: I think they maybe stay competitive for a half, but
Speaker 1: not for four quarters. I'm calling it's something like seventeen Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I like the over, I like Pittsburgh to win. I
Speaker 1: like James Conner. I'll be here for the first hour
Speaker 1: of the game talking about it with Gabe and Cam,
Speaker 1: and I'll be back on Thursday to preview week five
Speaker 1: to talk about any game of inches that can maybe
Speaker 1: beat Perry Ing and maybe we'll have definitive word on
Speaker 1: any objects thrown on the field in Buffalo. By then
Speaker 1: it's a spitting statistician. It'll be episode four hundred and
Speaker 1: five on Thursday. But you can always catch me every
Speaker 1: morning breaking it down with my man Joe runnery seven
Speaker 1: and nine am on Make It Rain. That's what we do.
Speaker 1: We help you win your leaves and win their cash.
Speaker 1: I'm out hey. Thanks for downloading this podcast. If you
Speaker 1: want to listen live, be sure to download the I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening and enjoy the show. When Drew Brees
Speaker 1: went down, first of all, everyone thought it was gonna
Speaker 1: be six games, And what I heard everyone saying was, Oh,
Speaker 1: if the Saints can go three and three, then they'll
Speaker 1: be fine. Right, just like you say Teddy Bridgewater, keep
Speaker 1: them above water, can keep the ship going for a
Speaker 1: couple of games. It was supposed to be three and three.
Speaker 1: Well guess what they are now? Two and oh in
Speaker 1: those games against the Seahawks and the Cowboys, two teams
Speaker 1: that have NFC playoff designs of their own. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta figure the Saints are in good shape right now.
Speaker 1: Even though Drew Brees is on the sidelines. Saints won
Speaker 1: the yardage battle. They also won the third down percentage,
Speaker 1: and they won the turnoff a battle three and one.
Speaker 1: They out rushed them one and seventeen to four, already
Speaker 1: five when you continue to add play and again, this
Speaker 1: is a great reminder that the NFL is about three phases. Guys,
Speaker 1: it ain't about one. I know we spend all the
Speaker 1: time talking about offense and scoring and scoring, but you
Speaker 1: can minimize some of the losses offensively when you have
Speaker 1: the other two facets of your game. And if you're
Speaker 1: beating the other team, if you're out rushing them, you're
Speaker 1: winning the turnover battle, and you are out you know,
Speaker 1: putting up more yards no matter how ugly. Guess what,
Speaker 1: you're gonna win football games. Does anybody think that New
Speaker 1: England Patriots one yesterday because of Tom Brady. No New
Speaker 1: England one, because they do by far have the best defense,
Speaker 1: A block punt, special teams defense that wins games. That's
Speaker 1: enough in this NFL to be able to win games.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, man, yesterday was one of
Speaker 1: every game day that we watched every game the sloppy ist.
Speaker 1: It's as if the defense is all they do these
Speaker 1: days is go to punch balls out. I'm watching quarterbacks
Speaker 1: gets strip sacked Kyle Allen. Great job, by the way,
Speaker 1: Carolina Uh for picking up after his ridiculous fumbled three times.
Speaker 1: The dude fumbled three times because he would he doesn't
Speaker 1: understand how to hold onto the ball. Kurt Cousins fumbled
Speaker 1: three times in that game against Chicago. Every time I'm
Speaker 1: turning around, Kansas City takes a nine nine yard fumble
Speaker 1: all the way to the house. It was like fumble
Speaker 1: fumble one that they let it go right, They let
Speaker 1: the play go so they could replay it and then
Speaker 1: the call on the field stand. I'm all right with that.
Speaker 1: The inadvertent whistles are the depth of the NFL. That's
Speaker 1: the way they're calling it now. Yeah, and but the
Speaker 1: way they do know they're they're calling it that way
Speaker 1: because people aren't holding onto the damn ball. Like, if
Speaker 1: you hold onto the ball, we wouldn't have this problem.
Speaker 1: But court backs, wide receivers, running backs. It's the sloppiest
Speaker 1: craft I've seen in week. More and hold on to
Speaker 1: the damn ball. Bumble drill all week.
