Fantasy playoffs. So we'll be taking some calls a little bit, a little bit of a listener watch your viewer appreciation day here, Greg. So, uh, pretty excited. You know I would be excited. I would be excited. It's about for one thing. You know, we were we got here. The BFS began this incarnation three hundred and thirteen episodes ago. We were don't having fun, too much fun? Someone saidy right.

People were just like, oh, don't give us stats. The bf S all you have a They don't say anything noteworthy, they do do do too much. You know what we did. We tried to listen to you people. We tried to give to you what you wanted, stats and info, and then you know what happened. Frank rapping Greg. You give too many stats, so you want you don't want stats. You want us to have fun. You want us to be like other shows on the network that say a

lot but don't provide anything. Then we'll do it. I'm happy, I'll wear the glasses. I'll be your nerd because you know what nerds win, clowns lose, and that's what your BFFs are. We're happy to be your nerds because you're too afraid not to be to freak too. You get the points. The fact of the matter is we can have fun and give you stats because we are your BFFs. So I am embracing my inner nerd. I'm embracing the stats as we appreciate you you need to appreciate us.

You've done you good, Gregy, got that off your chest. You get to go for now, for now, I mean you say, get it off my chest. You coming in to break it down? Do burn it down if you will. Wearing the n w O shirt. Yeah, Gregor, please talk to the people. Talk to the people, the BFF people. Look, it's been a long road, everybody. I don't know where what happened since? You know the people have turned on us. The people have turned on the best Friends forever. We

we turned on us. We didn't turn on you. We now know how Roman reigns, John cina Field. People just turn on you like that. We tried to recover from losing fellow best friend forever. Michael Florida now on the West coast. Shout out to Mike Florida. We tried. I think we did all right job. Greg. What it comes down to here is normally, you know, I'm not a confrontational person, Greg, that is for sure. You know I

try to be even keel. But you know you hear you hear the chirping here, the appetizer talk, the we're the warm up for the main show, for the main gig coming up next the fantasy football Frenzy with the hashtag Goons squad. Well, Greggy, here, let's let's break it down. Let's break it down like this. I don't know. I don't know, like are we are we the mic? Are we the mic play show? Or like do we only provide stats? I feel like we try to like deliver a little bit, you know, the best of both worlds.

We try to have phone, we try to break down the stats. Here's what it comes down to, everybody. We're playing a fantasy football game based on stats, based on numbers. It's a real life NFL game where you get you win based on gaining more statistics than the other team. Why would why would we not talk about stats? You

listen in the next hour, you'll get your entertainment. You'll get your talk about you know, Don Lemon's dogs, You'll get your talk about uh, you know, Harlem and the inner politics there and the latest Instagram model you should be following. But we're trying to help you win chips. Now, something Corey the Fantasy executive used to say a lot, Greg was I win chips. That would always be his

comeback right against the King Scott Angle. When's the last time you heard Corey say the phrase, I win chips. We're trying to look at my watch, trying to watch it's been a while, it's been a while. We all we all compete in the league together. How are you doing it? Said league? I mean you're six and six, you're fineing for the playoffs. You're right in it. We're working on it. I'm eating four. Corey the Fantasy executive.

He plays in the same league, the same league that has children at a lessons playing in this league, the same league where half the league is people playing for the first time. Would you like to guest Corey's record in this league. I'm sure he's you know, he's he's He's the fantasy executive exec He's got to be crushing. You know. People call into the to the to the fantasy football frenzy. We need to we want to win. We don't listen to the BFFs. They're not gonna help

us win. We're gonna listen to Corey. We're gonna listen to Adventure, We're gonna listen to Jim Day. They're gonna help us win fantasy football championships. Corey to inten two and ten in a league with children, with people playing for the first time fantasy football in their lives. The fantasy executive no more, He's now the fantasy fraud. Fantasy football has passed the executive. You know, he has the morning show. He does this thing with Gabe. He's getting

more into you know, the sports song radio. He's getting win to, you know, betting. I understand Corey's got a lot going on. He's got kids, He's got a lot going on. But don't sit here and say he listened to the Frenzy because you want to win chips. If you want to win chips, you listen to the BFFs. We give you the stats, and we're here to win. We're not here to give you to inten records. Finishing last place. You know, I just I just played Venture last week. Greg, you don't happen. I beat him by

sixty points. I had the second overall pick in this league. I drafted Levon Bell. I didn't have James Conner. You know it was on my team now, Philip, Lizzie, Tyler, Boyd, Josh Adams. That's how you win in fantasy football. That's how you win, even if you have a bad first round pick. You turn your team out. We're not gonna sit here and you know, you know, tell his stories and look, we're gonna try to have fun. We're gonna

try and mike both sides of the world. And I'm not almost not sitting here, Greg, and tell you what's up? What's up? We got Julio Jones this week three touchdowns. If he doesn't score three touchdowns this week, then he's gonna score three touchdowns next week. And if he doesn't do it next week, he's gonna do it two weeks from now. And if he doesn't do a two weeks from now, look he's gonna do it. He's Julio Jones. I gotta picture Julio Jones might well that I kiss

every single night before I go to sleep. It's Julio Jones. Am I gonna sit here and say, you know, startup player because he's a physical freak. I'm not gonna tell you Sam Watkins is the best second second best wide receiver in the NFL, Greg, these stats. We're gonna try and have fun. Greg, we went out a pole were people have spoken? Or would you rather be a nerd and a winner? Would you rather be a clown and a loser, Greg, The fact of the matter is pool

have spoken. People would rather be a nerd and a winner. Gregg, You either die a fantasy hero where you live long enough to see yourself become a villain. The fact of the matter is nobody had more fun than us. Where did that get us? Frank? Where did that get us? The people have turned their back on us. They've turned their back on us. We haven't turned our backs on you.

We we are the people's chaps, that is us. If you don't like it, well, i'd say we have two words for you, but we have the next fifty minutes of words for you. And I'm sure you have words for us. And eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. The people want stats, so let's give them stats. You want us to nerd out, you want

us to give these statistics. You come for the frenzy, for entertainment, not for people that have been chanting all year long, things like m v S letting you know all about Jeff hire Man, your b fffs, b ffs. We're here and we're not going anywhere, so let's go to stats. People are concerned about Dalvin Cook getting ten carries a game. Should we be concerned about that? Frank? Is that that something in the Fantasy playoffs that are gonna matter to the people? Know, because if you have

Dalvin Cook, you probably aren't in the playoffs. How about that? There you go speaking in pure facts here on the Fantasy best Friends, because that's what we do. Because that's

what we do. Greg is right, if you have Dalvin Cook, probably not gonna make it to the Fantasy plaoffs if you manage this squeak by, if you did well in the middle rounds, if you're like me, if you listen to me and you picked up guys like Tyler Boyd and Philip Lindsay and d J. Moore, all of which are on my team, and you might be making it. Dalvin Cook, probably a little bit worried, Greg? Why should you be worried? Frankie? Well, Greg just had a favorable

game script. This past week against Green Bay Packers was a competitive game. They're playing with the lead for most of that game. He's still got out carried violence Avias Murray. You know that. You know he work in the In the receiving game, he had some targets he caught the receiving touchdown, but ten for what thirty? Is that what we're looking at here? And we'll say he's Murray getting more work than him. So I will finally admit defeat at this point in the season. I mean Dalvin Cook first,

Leonard four Nette. That was a big, big, big discussion for us before the season. Lenard four Nette, if you had him, you might not be making into fantasy class either, especially when you need the most. The guy goes out, plays Mike Tyson's punch out in real life and get suspended when you need the most, he's not here. So Leonard Fournet has been better the past couple of weeks

for Devon than Devin Cook. But where that, Like you said in week thirteen, Leonard Fournett's back where he's always been, not playing, not playing on the bench. At least he's healthy, Frank, at least Leonard four Net is healthy and sitting his ass on the bench, finally healthy, finally healthy, not contributing when you need a most for fantasy football grade. Those in the chatter telling us, hey, listen, we got Dalvin Cook, Boy Constantine, He's got Dalvin Cook in the playoffs. Our

guy's son. He's got Dalvin Cook. He's tending to and he's rocking it right now. Those guys that have been starting Dalvin Cook all year long, should they start him in week third team? Depends on the other options, I gets. Yeah, It obviously depends on your other options. And the Vikings are going up against the New England Patriots, so that would that spells negative game script for any running back here in this game. Obviously, whether it's let's Taps Murray

or Dalvin Cook. We've already seen that. You know, maybe in games where they're trailing, they're still gonna use Dalvin Cook in the In the receiving game, we just saw him. You know, he caught the touchdown this past week. I think, you know, I'm not gonna go back on what I said on him. I think he's, you know, in that mid range, low end RB two area. He's not the

RB one that we thought he was gonna be. He you know, he drafted at the end of the first found early second round to be that workhorse on your team, battled hampstring injuries all year, the offensive line not very good in Minnesota. This upcoming week against the Patriots will once again being that range, probably on the fringe of being a top twenty, top twenty four running back. Let's

turn to the phone lines. It is our listen to appreciation day here in week thirteen eight four four, eight four, three, six, seven nine. We kick it off with the Rick in Chicago. What's up? Rick? Hey, guys, it's going, it's going. Okay, what's going? Rick? What's up? Man? I know you guys would take a lot of heat, but I've been listening probably about six months now, and I think you guys are doing awesome job. So don't appreciate up so much. Rick. You're You're on the side of the You're on the

right side of history. You are on the right side. Were you love hashtags? That's win chips. Let's pu's your question. Corey Parsons and Chris Ventra. At the beginning of the year, when we were talking famous in the off season, they said that they would draft Sammy Watkins pent over Brent Cooks. I wonder how they feel about that now? How do you feeling that? Throw that downstairs? The fantasy fraud and the closer men. Don't get me wrong, I love them.

I mean they put on a good show. I mean I think I do great, but they were wrong on that one, that's for sure. But Jim Day wasn't on board, So shout out to my man, Jim Dad. Fantasy TAT is getting some love. No love for Fantasy, No love Fantasy cat. No. I love everybody. I love everybody. I respect everybody. I wish you know, I wanted you can't do. I want. I want everybody to get ratings on our network. And I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh, we have to get you know. I want us to get

ten thousand views in them to get you doing. I'm sorry you are breaking This is no love for Fantasy test. Bet you could go do your air drums somewhere else. If I if I could get my question, and my question this week is if I could start in the flex. I got three options. I got Edwards, Josh Adams or Kenyan Drake. Kenyan Drake. We don't know as of right now.

They've already said he's not going to participate in any practice, any contact practice this week, so we know he's dealing with the shoulder arm injury that he suffered last week. Gus Edwards going up against the Atlanta Falcons looks like a really really good matchup. Greg, and I know tomorrow we're gonna talk about We're to talk to dr a of inside injuries to find out the latest on Alex Collins,

but he was not spotted at practice. And then Josh Adams with the Eagles going up against Washington Man, that's close. If Alex Collins doesn't play, I'll go with Gus Edwards with that matchup against Atlanta. If Alex Collins does play, because we'll mobileforehand. The Eagles play on Monday night, Alex Collins plays, I'll use Josh Adams in that. I completely agree with you. Josh Adams did continue to see the majority that carries the Eagles on confident there This Lamar

Jackson Gus Edwards combination is the real deal. I completely agree with you, Frank, because you continue on. I think there's a good time to take this call. What's up. Let's go to Bob in Vermont. Hey, Greg, you guys chilled be nice too when they're nice to us, when they show us the respect that we deserve, will chill no, no, no no. They call us out on a day early basis, and we're the bigger man. We were the bigger men on a daily basis. But today, well yeah, we'll appreciate

the stats. That's what we'll do. Yes, yes, great, great, Yes, you're great, guys, you're awesome. But don't I will eat your pizza when you bring it. I will eat your pizza when you bring it for us. Okay, yes, that's for all everybody. So what do you guys like just playing on the pizza or anything else. We like a nice meaty pizza. That's a sausage. Some pepper cheese is fine, just say so, but I'm playing in one pepper even

a right, all right. We appreciate that. We appreciate you, appreciate you, guys, Thank you, But we don't want to We don't want to be like the other station over there. Well we we do, we actually do. They always get into arguments like this. It is what it is, Bob. We appreciate, we appreciate you. This is our listener appreciation because we appreciate you and we need to be appreciated. Frank, this is the difference. This is a difference. You know what.

He brings up an interesting name there, Mike Francis and Mike Francisa a big you know, get off my lawn stats status. Hey, okay, okay, okay, what are air yards? What air yards? What are next gen stats? When you listen, when you listen to the Frenzy, I'm not even gonna call him the fantasy football Freenzy because they don't talk about fantasy football. I'll call them the Frenzy. We also the Frenzy. They mocked air yards and next gen stats

and Pro Football Focus. Guys, we're playing a game of stats where you need more stats than the other team to win. So why wouldn't we use every possible tool that we have at our disposer disposal to try and win. It doesn't make no sense. So you sit here and you mock mock Mike Francesa, and you say, oh, well, he's get off my lan. You guys do the same exact thing. Come on, Greg, what are we doing here.

Defensi Sports Radio Network, Your free fantacy saw us twenty four hours a day. Fantasy best friends forever. You're the Vettis Sports Ridio Network and maybe our only friends. After this sprang the Vettie Football Frenzy. One on a war. They got the frenzy. We tried to be above this fantasy football. We didn't

we didn't want to respond in any way. We didn't respond to its line for a long time. Thirteen weeks, everyone hits a breaking point. All this talk about appetizers and warm up show and getting the seat ready weekends. Oh man, m you know what, you you know what the truth is. No one knows right who's downstairs making them look good on a daily basis, just saying just eight four or four eight four or three six eight seven nine lettle My Waivers before we get back to

you guys. Uh, Carlos Hyde eight bucks on my squad. Yeah, I think that's a I think that was a great pick up. Greg. Obviously we talked, We talked about Carlos Hyde yesterday. We already mentioned Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook a little bit already today. Leonard Fournette, Uh, this is uh, the appeal was heard. He's gonna be suspended this week. So we know that the jagguars are gonna try and

run on football. They have Cody Kesler now at quarterback, and we know, uh, Leonard Fournett was averaging twenty three carries a game since he returned from injury. They want to run the football. Who's going to do that. It's gonna be Carlos Hide. They're facing the Colts this week. They want to take the air out of the football. They don't want they want to keep Andrew Luck off the field. That's the way to try and attack the Indianapolis Colts. How much fight, how much drive do the

Jaguars have left? I'm sure you can question that, but I like to pick up of Carlos Hide to eight bucks. I think another one people were wondering about. Justin Jackson went for ten dollar is my league went for five dollars in your league? I mentioned I only had three dollars left in my home league, Greg. I spent the rest of that on Josh Jackson. Obviously, I'm very excited about him. And I uh, I revealed that sentiment yesterday. Yeah, I know you're you're a Josh Jackson guy. Actually chose

Carlos Hide over Justin Justin Jackson. Um, it shows hide over Justin Jackson. I just I don't know why I told you. It's yesterday. I had this inkling about hide. Um, and I think Jackson's always gonna split time. Not that highest splaying time, but t J hilden he is. But I've always been the Carlos High guy, and I will

remain the Carlos Hide guy in that regard. It is funny your guns, Greg, By the way, it's funny when people spend save all their money because a Corey credit word new for sure that he from the moment I met, and he says he can't he can't hold on a fab. Right, you're not gonna spend fab You can't spend it at

the strip club, so you better spend it now. And when you get to week thirteen and you have all this money left and you're fighting for a playoff spot, you may get in a situation like this where the top names out there are Justin Jackson and Carlos High. And you guys aren't all that exciting for you, We've said, And and Chris Bender does a really nice job doing this, just spending his money early. He can't say he's got no money left anywhere. You've got very little money left anywhere.

But there's teams in my league that had fifty sixty dollars going into today. They spent twenty dollars on a defense for this week because they could. It's like this is ultimately help you. Right, this is what we're talking about. Twenty dollars on the defense. It's not going to win you the league lead. Maybe it'll win you the week, maybe you'll get those extra two points three points, But when you are saving your money, when you are too passive earlier in the year, it comes down to this,

getting twenty dollars and spending on defense. Great, you have more money than me in the playoffs. That's awesome, fantastic. What do you use what are you using it for? We had your We had your buddy Max coll In earlier in the show, earlier in the year, Greg and he told us about Philip Lindsay. He was very aggressive, spends a lot of money on Philip Lindsay. And he mentioned, well, you know, you never know, well, what if he's the next Alvin Kamara. Well he's not Alvin Kamara, but he's

an RB one. Philip Lindsay is an RB one. Look at a lot of the guys that if you were aggressive on them early in free agency, Philip Lindsay being one of them. Tyler Boyd. Those are obviously two names that stick out. You had a legit, you know, high end r B two or wide receiver to all season long. So that's something that will continue to hit on every single year for fantasy football, is when these guys pop early on in the season. Yeah, you're gonna get a

few duds, There's no doubt about it. I remember last year David David Johnson went down with injury. I forget the gentleman that that was backing him up. I spent like, like of my fab on him. It was a bum. Who are the Cardinals backup? Kurwin Williams? There you go spen in my fab like, are you're gonna swing and miss a few times? But if you aggressive early on this year, you would have ended up with some of these guys who are popping off right now, popping off.

But you can also here later on tonight. Nope, that's on Tuesdays and Thursdays, right well at night. I didn't mean tonight at night in general any time any time. Now, Maybe Max is right spending all that money on Philip Lindsay because I had the guys on the Frenzy talked about he yesterday right in that Phill Lindsay's arguably the pick up with the year, and it was one I

never saw coming. I never Tyler Boyd and Philip Lindsay or the two I believe running back and wider sty here and pick ups of the year, and I never honestly saw either of them coming. Yeah, Philip Lindsay as of right now is RB eleven. Just a few names that he's ahead of, Joe Mixon, Matt Brita, Aaron Jones. I mean, god, it's a weird year for running backs, like guys that were drafted early on Alice Collins all the way down to list, Kenyan Drake, all the way

down the list. You could blame the coaches for those guys, But when it comes down to it, Philip Lindsay was picked up what we two week three. People might have thought it was a fluke. They thought he was a scat bag, a smaller bag. Everyone's saying, well, you know, Royce Freeman has the pedigree, and you look, you know we were on Royce Freeman too. Greg. I'm not gonna sit here all high and mighty and say I get every single call right that there's absolutely no way like

I'm up. Half the time, we make fun of each other for getting stuff wrong, like I started Kendrick Born. This week, we let off one of the shows talking about how I started Kendrick Borne. You're not gonna get everything right, There's no doubt about it. What Royce Freeman, he's not been the guy. Philip Lindsay is the guy and he will be the guy, I believe, so moving forward to unless a new coaching staff and regime comes

in and and tries to mess this up. But Philip Lindsay looks every bit the part of an NFL running back, especially when people are trying to do nowadays. A guy that a dual threat. We're talking about Rex Burkhead yesterday, Greg a guy that could be a dual threat for the Patriots. Philip Lindsay. He's been a dual threat for the Denver Broncos all season long. Yeah, he's been. He's

been awesome. It's one of those situations like Bronco's credit in that they didn't let draft stock or draft capital matter. They played the best player and they've done it really and and you know what, that's a great point because how often do we see, you know, just the guy who gets paid more or the guy who was drafted earlier. We're gonna give him the absolutely, we have to see what we have in this guy, and a lot of times we do climber for that. We you know, we

want to see what they have in players. But when a guy like Philip Lindsay is just constantly putting up numbers and he hasn't done anything to lose his job, and yeah we can, We'll continue continue to ride out phil Lindsay. So a good job by the denver it goes. If only Adam Gates could learn the same sentiment, we'll see if that ever happened. Kenyan Drake said he'll be fired before then, you said, Kenny, and Drake is not expected to practice in contact all week. I can't imagine

that would play him then? Now, yes, So does that mean we're looking at Frank Gore? Is that a thing this week? Greg? Probably so? Man Frank Gore against the Buffalo Bills where the Dolphins are actually favored by five points as of right now, so they're playing with a lead they expect to be playing with a lead. Frank Gore probably gonna slide in in the flex discussion. But Kenyan Drake, I mean what we've seen players not practice

all week and still play. Again. We have doctor r coming on Tomorrow's We'll find out more about this, but yeah, as it right now, it doesn't look good for for Kenyan Drake. No, it's and you saw him go down right boy. He did come back into this game on Sunday ultimately. Um, but it seems to be one of those things almost like Cooper Cup where he came back the adrenaline, maybe he took a OT or something like that, comes back into the game. Um, And it doesn't look

like he'll be ready to rock uh this weekend. So maybe I'll be playing Carlos Hyde instead. My question would be Carlos Hyder Doug you Baldwin. We'll say, yeah, that's a fun little it's fun little call for you every week that you got Doug Baldwin and you want to talk about letdowns this year to Doug Baldwin, you know, the guy has been healthy for the most poor most part, or maybe he hasn't. Maybe he's on the field and he's saying he's healthy and he's playing, but he hasn't

been a percent. You know, if you watch his games and you see his game logs, he's doing his best Jarvis Landry impersonation from years past, except he's not getting the same volume, you're getting a lot of you know, five for forty I mean I think he had like seven seven receptions this past week for like forty yards. Like, how many of these are coming within five yards of the line of scrimmage. They're not targeting Doug Baldwin down the field. That's more so David Moore. That's been more

so Tile locket Doug Baldwin. You want to talk about fantasy bust, I mean, he's been up there as one of them all season long. Because when you look at Bus, like what has made the biggest bus, it's a guy that you're putting your line up every week and you're expecting production from and they just don't come through. So we're expecting high end wide receiver too. What does he performed like barely a wide receiver three b ND wide receiver three Yep, that's not gonna get the job down, Greg, No,

it's it's certainly not. When we get the job done, and we continue to listen to appreciation Day and eight four four eight four three six eight seven eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, people want to know more about Rex Burken. What can we expect? The problem is no idea and that's exactly what we said. You know, we did the FANDUL hurry up yesterday, Greg, where we're talking about waiver wire guys, there's no statistical analysis.

I know we're the we're the stats guys. We're supposed to give you the stats. But there's there's no statistical evidence that says Rex Burkett is gonna be great. It's really just it comes down to what is the Bill Belichick thinking. And nobody's gonna know that. Once we get into the games, we're still not even gonna know. I mean, it might be a drive by drive situation where all right, it's one drive Tony Michelle James White, one drive, it's Rex Burkhead. I will say this, and I'm gonna continue

to stick by this. Last year they rode Dion Lewis down the stretch. He ended up winning a lot of people fantasy for Bowl championships. Rex Burkett is the closest running back that they have to Dean Lewis because he could do a little bit of everything. He could run, catch the ball in the backfield. He's a Swiss army knife for the New England Patriots. He's actually earning the most money of all the running backs on the team right now, James White, great receiver, but when he's on

the field opposing defensive note, they're passing Tony Michelle. He's been a great runner when he's on the field. They know that the Patriots are most likely going to run the football. So Rex Burkett represents that running back that is in the closest mold to Dean Lewis, who the Patriots rode down the stretch last season. Greg, Yeah, absolutely, And I look back to Matt Modica arrest his arrest his Yeah, let's put everybody to rest on the show today,

Matt Modica, Michael Florio, Frenzy. Indeed, alright. I guess how's your undertaking personage is pretty good? Right, it's pretty good. Glasses off, get the long hair. You should grow your hair out. I'm not gonna do that. Undertaker has facial hair, Greg, he does. He does many tattoos. I'm not gonna have any of those either. You know, some people are asking about trust when it comes to Rex Burkeet. You know

that word. I mean, we're right back to where we were early on the season, the first couple of games of the year. When it comes to the Patriots running backs, who are you really going to be able to trust? Well, as of right now, we're still gonna look at James White. We're gonna trust what we've seen and until Rex Burkett comes in and you know, starts muddying the situation for sure.

Like I'm not throwing rex Burkett in my lineup by all means no, Like I want him on my bench to see if he pops off and he becomes Dion Lewis from last year. I'm not. You're not starting Rex Burkett, There's no doubt about that. But James White, you can't argue that his production over the past couple of weeks, the past month has been up and down as well. He's not the same James White that we saw that was catching you know, double digit passes early on in

the season. He's not. Tony Michelle just had a great game against the Jets. The game before that the Tennessee Titans, he was abysmal. A lot of people didn't even start Tony Michelle last week and he had a big game. So we're right back in that same situation where we're all right, which which New England Patriots running back are we trusting. I think Sony Michelle is in RB two mid range RB two regardless of format. James White high n R B two in PPR standard probably more of

a flex at this point. Rex Birkhead, he's a stats you're not starting. Let's go back to the phone lines our listener appreciation programming four, four, three, six, eight, seven nine, and let's hit up Robert in Indiana. Robert, are you a nerd and a winner or a clown and a loser? I'm a nerd in the winner for mo man. Hey, how are you guys doing? What's um? So? I have a lineup question actually involved in Sony Michelle. Um, it's

a PPR league. I was wondering should I start Josh Adams, Sony Michelle or um Josh Adam, Sony Michelle, our cherry on Johnson, carry on Johnson. We're still waiting on the health of him, so I'll rule him out for now. So it comes down to Sony Michelle or Josh Adams. Adams is that tasty matchup on Monday Night? And of course the Patriots you're talking about Sony Michelle. It's a good question which direction you had if Frank it is really good. I'll go with Josh Adams right now, and

I'm gonna ride the hot hand. You know, we just spoke about with the Patriots running backs, who can you trust. It's actually a pretty bad matchup against the Minnesota Vikings this week, and I know Aaron Jones made it look like it wasn't a bad matchup for him, but he's kind of elevated himself into that RB one territory where he's matchup proof. You know, you don't worry about Aaron Jones,

and he just did that against the Minnesota Vikings. But I'm a little worried about the Patriots this week, how much who they work Reks burke it in. On top of that, it's a bad matchup. Josh Adams is unquestionably the guy for Philly right now. Greg. I mean he saw what twenty touches again this week? I mean he ran wild. We uh, we expected that against the New York Giants. It's a solid match up against Washington. It is not the best, but I'll go with Josh Adams.

I'm riding the hot hand here. I will say this from watching the Giants and the Eagles on the Sunday, you do still you could shut him down probably is the call. Bud mute him but keep him on. So that's fine, um, But ultimately, from watching the Giants and the Eagles on Sunday, you do get frustrated by the amount Corey Clement is in there, and they went away from Josh Adams in the first half. A lot of the second half was more Adams. He was a little

bit banged up to in that first half. He was was the game for a little bit and then he came back in he did, so it's a little dominated the second half. When that's how the Eagles offense is gonna be successful by dominating, by dominating on the ground, and that's Josh Adams. However, Sonny Michelle's are really good until they play Rex Birkehead. I'm not going to go away from Sonya Michelle. Be Sony Michelle this week, all right. I think it's very close though it's not like a

slam dunk by any means. But I just feel a little bit more secure with the workload of Josh Adams right now, um, and I like the match up a little bit more as well. Let's go out to California talk to West. What's up West? Not much man. So, UM, I need to win this next game in order to make the playoffs. I got from forth to sixth place, saying, UM, yeah, I need to win in this bast came so I gotta line up. Question all right, what do you got? Alright?

So the first part to it is, UM, I need a wide receiver, and the only wide receivers I have to choose from is UM, I'm starting Davante Adams. I have a J. Green, Um, Kiki Cuti, Courtland Sutton and al Shan Jeffrey. Mm hmm. How many wider series do you start? And what format is this? Um? It's uh full PPR And I'm already starting Davante Adams and I'm actually gonna run with three running backs. Um, with running the flex only two wide receivers. Davanta Adams is the

first Green when he plays. So I think the question think this answers itself. Greg, I know that Jeff Driscoll is the quarterback now for the Cincinnati Bengals, but a J. Green is one of these wide receivers who can elevate the play of his quarterback regardless of who it is. Kiki qt left That came on Monday, night with the hamstring again. Courtland Sutton has not been great. He's under

delivered since the Damerius Thomas trade. Al Shan Jeffrey since the Golden Tate trade, I mean his value has trade has just worked out very badly. It's worked out badly all around. It's hurt everybody, seemingly except for Zach and Josh Adams, the Staples in the Eagles offense, and Kenny gollady on on the Lions side of things. But yeah, Alston Jeffrey has has taken a huge backseat. So I'm starting A J. Green. I know, Driscolls his quarterback. He's

going up against the Denver Broncos. But it's already come out that A J. Green said that he's going to play this week. He's healthy, he's good to go, like A J. Green and you wine. Okay, next question, Um, I have Aaron Jones, Sony Michelle, Dalvin Cook, and um Nick Chubb said one guess the Dalvin Cook I'm probably lean the same way. Yep said it a little bit earlier.

He's he's losing some time to Latavius Murray. I know it just kind of poo poo Sony Michelle, but I just I trust him more than I trust Dalvin Cook. Right now, Nick Chubb isn't He's an RB one starter every single week. Now you can say the same thing about Aaron Jones. I've bench Dalvin Cook here. Good luck, man, I know you need to win. Uh, We're rooting for you. One more call before the break is our listen to appreciation program. It's Fred and ll Hey, what's up? Fred? Hey,

what's up? Guys? Love the show. Let's go on. I loved Jack Doyle. So I'm looking at the tight end here and uh that Everett La Cose, j Smith Herding or Vernon Davis. Man. This is a popular question, Greg. These are all the waiver wired tight ends. I'm gonna go with la Cost just for the matchup. It's the match up against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the second most Fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. We know that the Broncos want to get the tight

end involved. We were talking up our guy Hireman. He's now gone. Matt la Cost is your guy? Where that lacass shirt bag? Tuck it in, wear it proud, be a nerd. Start battling cost. Nerds are winners. That's like us, that's like you. For those that are watching, loving your bfs to take a break. Here, we're back right after. From the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rodo dot Com

Back with you Fantasy t frends Forever. Fantasy Sports Radio Network answering your questions live you watch Frankie just type it away diligently and answering your questions because he cares. Man, he cares right there, care about We don't care about you. Even if you came out with the R and B slow slow music in the background. Should I not like not loud there? That's your thing. You're the loud guy. You do get a lot of comments about turn down your damn Mike, this is how I should talk. It

would be a smart ass, Greg. Do you think people like it? That's what I am. People don't like that either. If you don't like me, man, I don't tell you I am. I am whatever you say I am. And if I wasn't, why would I say I am in a minute freestyle Wednesdays on a podcast, on a live radio, on a video say whatever you say, I am just the way I am every day. That's just the way I am. It's the way he is, actually correct, and I don't give a damn eight four four four three

oh up? Pull up the lyrics, Greg, Yeah, well this is actually a really hard one to do. Peg this peg, I know what it is. I don't know what I can say in this song. Not much, and it's probably not many words I can say in this song. Said to yourself, shut up and listen with this, Pat, I'm not gonna say I over We're good. Curse with this curse. It's a curse. And I am whatever you say I am. If I wasn't right, oh, Greggy, And I am whatever you say I am. If I wasn't, then why would

you say in the paper, the news every day. Radio won't even play my check because I am. Whatever you say. If I wasn't, then why I would I say in the paper, the news every day I am. I don't know, it's just the way I am. Drop the mike, dud it, don't do to Greg. What's your favorite AM song? What's what's my favorite? A lot of really good Eminem songs. To be honest with you, um my favorite song. I've always This is a ridiculous comment. I always really like

Superman a lot, und it. That's exactly mine. Like, I'm not even gonna lie. I love all of Eminem's music. I'm not gonna sit here and say don't. I have like every one of his albums on my phone. Superman is my favorite song. Superman is amazing, great song. Yeah, losers can like Losers can't like Eminem because they're losers as a winner. You know who can? Nerds? Nerds can like Eminem, right, Frank sure Man. David's Bad Meats Evil

is mine? Did you listen to Bad Meats Evil? It was like him and Roy's the five nine Libation album. I only listened to the song that also included Bruno Mars. Oh my gosh, it's crazy. I heard this one's for you and me oh no um. I only also heard randomly recently that the Travis nots Taris Scott, but the Brutal Morri song with tra Travie Scott is that his name so billionaire And I was crazy. It's crazy because like Brutal Mars probably became close to a billionaire from

all of his success. I'm not billionaire, but you know what I mean. You're not listening to me anymore, alright A four four eight four three six eight seven nine, Uh fabio. Ask question PPR Frankie. Who you're starting? DJ Moore, Sammy Watkins, Tyler Lockett picked two? D J Moore, Sammy Watkins, Tyler Walkett seems like the easy and here's just Boots Hammy Walkins from that list, right. The DJ Moore against

the Tampa Bay Bucks, that's a great matchup. He's gonna be a top twenty wide receiver this week and entire Locket the guy who gets no respect. He gets no respect, but he's getting a job done every single week. So can give me tire Lockey's scoring touchdowns? Yeah, he has no respect. I gave him no respect, and I'm wrong. He basically scores each and every week. I like Tyler

lockett Um as well this week. Good question he comes from Larry Joe Michigan versus Denver or Austin Ekeler against Pittsburgh. Austin Neckler against Pittsburgh. And you want to like Eckler because of the offense that he plays in the offensive line, the fact that he's gonna see the Melvin Gordon workload. The Steelers have been really good against the run. It didn't look that way last week against Philip Lindsay. Joe makes him with Jeff Triskell, but better matchup against Denver.

Denver has been better. To give me Austin Neckler, give me the workload. The fact that the Steelers just gave up a big game to Philip Lindsay. It's very close, though. I think what pushes me over the edge is the fact that overall the Broncos have been better against the run recently. Jeff Driskle is the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chargers offense is just much more potent than where Cincinnati is at right now. So give me the better offense.

Greg Taken Austin Ekela in this one. I agree, man, I I think it's really really close, and it's a really really strong question. Um, my initial instinct was Joe Mixon, but you're right, take the better offense. You know Ekeler is gonna be involved in the passing game. You don't necessarily know that, or to the extent of that with mixing.

Jeff Drisko is the quarterback. You know Philip Rivers is there, and you also know they trust Austin Ekeler, so I'm not really afraid of him as a backup running back at all. Peel was starting Austin Ekeler as a flex option all season. Give me Austin Ekeler, who has a backfield to himself. I'm not nearly as high as Justin Jackson as you are, so I'll take Eckler. We're getting a few more questions in the chat regarding regarding Tyler Boyd.

I mean people have questions about Tyler Boyd. Obviously with Jeff Driscoll, this is gonna be a big topic of conversation all week long. With the Cincinnati Bengals. Son Goku, I don't know, Dragon ball Z fan. That's cool, Uh, Tyler Boyd or Dalvin cook In standard. Tyler Boyd or Dalvin cook In standard. I like Tyler Boyd. You know that Tyler Boyd there things the issue back. I might not, but the thing is A J. Green being back. You know people are gonna think they're in a bad thing

for Tyler Boyd. It's not a bad thing because even if the target share drops a little bit, like it's not like Tyler Boyd. Boyd saw this massive target share while A J. Green was out. The fact that AJ Green is gonna be on the field actually helps Tyler Boyd because he's gonna take defensive attention away. And we know for a backup quarterback, you know, leaning on the slot receiver might actually be the smartest thing for him. Dalvin cook Man, it's just he's getting outtouched, out carried

rather by Lesavus Murray. I know he called the touchdown last week. I feel a little bit safer with with Tyler Boyd. Another question regarding regarding Boyd was one from Mario Valve's one Greg Tyler Boyd or Josh Yeah, Mario valid is Tylor Boyd or Josh Reynolds. I'm gonna go Tyler Boyd in this one. Yeah, I'm gonna go to the boy as well. Good question here. I saw a moment ago. I believe it was Wesley. He wants us to know Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson. And I've gotten

in a few times to man, I'm gonna start. I'm gonna tell Lamar Jackson man. And they said, Jackson, you're starting. Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers. I gave you crap. Rodgers a hundred yards in a touchdown last week. Greg, I know it was the Minnesota Vikings, but faces the Cardinals this week. The Cardinals defense is not what it used to be. But I just Lamar Jackson inside the dome on the fast track, I can see Atlanta Falcons. We're expecting some

points to be scored there inside the dome. He's rushed for at least seventy yards in each game. I mean, Lamar Jackson, man, it's crazy. I gave him the name off the back of the jersey. I gave you crap for this a year ago, when you right back where we started, Greg, when you wanted to start was Jared Goff, Tom Brady and I crushed you for it, and you were right that week. Jared Goff had more Fantasy points

that week than Tom Brady. And here we are in week thirteen yet again, and you're saying, start Lamar Jackson over Aaron Rodgers, and I want to crush you again, but I'm too scared to the what what I'm gonna tak Lamar Jackson? Though I really am. I want to crush you. I'm gonna take more Jackson I do. The match means Atlanta is gorgeous for him. He's gonna dominate with his legs. Aaron Rodgers can't do that right now. I'm taking Lamar Jackson. Take the name on the back

of the jersey. It's true, taking about name off the back of the jersey. Tom Brady, what have you done for me lately? Going up against the Minnesota Vikings? Greg? Like, what are we expecting from Tom Brady? I haven't done my quarterback rankings. I'm gonna dive deep into that tonight. Obviously, Wednesday is a big night. Adams does face Arizona and about the Adams in Green Bay face Arizona. Damn, I mean,

what does that mean? Great? You're still using Adams. Peterson hasn't been on the point was Aaron Rodgers faces Arizona. I had about the Adams of my team. That's why I said that. So Green Babie was talking about I was talking about Tom Brady though now against Minnesota, Like is he gonna be inside my top fifteen quarterbacks this week? Like I don't even know what has Tom Brady done? Nothing? Craig, I know R at that point, I know I came off the back of the jersey Andrew Luck. He's Baker

Mayfield over Tom Brady this one. Baker, Baker. I gotta keep riding the hot hand man. Baker. Multiple touchdowns and five straight games, every single week, getting better, putting up more fantasy points every single week. Four touchdowns last week against the Bengals, a little bit of a tougher matchup this week against the Houston Texans. It's in Houston. But the guy is bawling out right now, the man who feels dangerous. I woke up feeling dangerous today. Baker Mayfield.

See Flora. Now give me the multiple touchdowns with with Baker. Would you start Jameis Winston over a Rodgers. Yes, not even hesitation. Has not even hesitation going up against the Carolina Panthers, who over the past month, they've given up like the fifth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. The last time this team actually faced Carolina, Ryan Fitzpatrick towards them for four touchdowns. The very next game after that,

Ben Roethlisberger thorps for five touchdowns. Last week, we just saw Russell Wilson did I went into Carolina and put up big fantasy points as well. I know that the floor for for James Winston is very low. Like he's a volatile player. He's a guy who could be bench at halftime, but he also has the upside to give you three fifty and three touchdowns. I'm going with James Winson. Okay, let's go back to the phones. Four four, four, three six seven nine. Let's go out to Tom in Long Island.

It's Tom. Yeah, Hey, guys, great show. I love it. Appreciate you man. Don't be so hard on yourself. We're not alright. Yeah, listen, um, although that mvs uh, I don't know what happened to him. Welcome down the toilet. Yeah, yeah, he's o U t um. Yeah. I picked up Samuel instead. Okay, here's my question. Um, I gotta have Dak and I have Kirk going uh Week thirteen, Dak against New Orleans and Kirk against New England. Who do you guys like?

This is a good question too. Man, He's getting it done with his legs right now because he scored a touchdown on the ground rushing five of his last six games. And he's just been a different beast since Marii Cooper has joined this team. But the Saints defense has actually played better. This isn't the same defense early on in the season that got torched by Ryan Fitzpatrick. They played a lot better recently. Kirk Cousins coming off one of

his best games of the season. In primetime, everybody was talking, can Kirk Cousins get it done? I'm gonna go with Kirk Cousins. I think there's gonna be a lot of point scored in that game between the Vikings and the Patriots. Very good question. I lean with Kirk Cousins because of the matchup. But but DA's gonna be right there. He's He's gonna be close to a top twelve quarterback this week for me. Listen, I like um, I like her Cousins of Kirk Cousins guy, but he's very inconsistent all

year long and not the dad hasn't. But like kirk Cousins been in consistent all year long, and last week's thirty fantasies point blowout out of nowhere was shocking. I mean putting it, what three d and fifty yards and three touchdowns, Like, we didn't see that coming. But he has the ability to do that. Obviously you saw it. That doesn't Yeah, DA's scored with his legs four the last five games. I get that he doesn't have the ability.

This office doesn't want him to have the ability to throw up for threeft and three in a game where kirk Cousins gonna have to do that and they're fighting me for that division and fighting for a wild card. Give me kirk Cousins, Minnesota. The Patriots have also allowed the seventh most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Again, I just think that there's points traded back and forth here.

Who on the Patriots is gonna be able to stop Stefon Diggs Adam Feeling all the weapons that the Vikings have. Give me kirk Cousins. Good question though, absolutely, Let's go. Let's go the pot lines again. Heready four four or four three, six seven, nine to Manny in Vegas. What's up, Manny? Yeah? What's up? Guys? How's it's going? Well? What's up? Um? I actually? Uh, flext question? Okay, oh, two questions really, but the flext question considers Sonia Michelle, Tyler and Boys

or Gus Edwards. What foremat is this? Well? PPR? Yeah? Oh, man, Greggy, Greggy Greggy. I like Us Edwards. I like the matchup

against the Atlanta Falcons. But this is this is what this is when it becomes tricky, right, because when you play in PPR, how much do you weigh the fact that Gus Edwards is likely going to see a lot of the carries and could score touchdowns in this game, but doesn't catch any passes at all versus a guy like Tyler Boyd who can easily give you six for eight, and you're looking at four show points in the PPR right there, PPR, I'm gonna leave with the wide receiver here. Man.

You know I've I've spoken about Sony Michelle throughout the show today, tougher matchup against Minnesota, Rex burkehead back James White still in the mix, a lot of weapons in New England. PPR, I'm gonna go with Tyler Boyd. But again it's close, Greg Michelle, Tyler Boyd, Gus Edwards. It's very close, very very very close for me as well. I don't know. I don't know. My answer is Tyler Boyd. Breag doesn't have an answer to my answer, Tyler Boyd. My answer is gonna be My answer is going to

be of Alice Consins and play guys Edwards. I can't kill you for that one either. With that, we signed off the YouTube. Go up next Annacy at Football Frenzy, the Corey Parson, Jim Day, Chris Bench for The Closer. They have a lot to say, no doubt, so stay tuned for them. Connext on YouTube, we appreciate watching. We'll see you tomorrow. If you're listening live on the podcast, we go to the five minutes or so and subscribe like rateis five stars and make sure you leave a comment.

If you're listen a lot on the radio, well we'll go another three and a half minute now or so. Frankie, my buddy is actually really good thing to end on. So my my buddy in my league is doing a bit of soul searching, but like soul searching, and he goes leaning back at our draft from our whole league.

It's a perfect reason why you don't take a defense before the second last round if you're playing with the kicker, Like, obviously, you didn't need to tell me that, Like, obviously, you don't take a defense to the second to last round. And he said after the Jaguars were picked, and they were picked in the tenth round of our draft, and

they obviously have not lived with the expectations. The next nine picks immediately following that, bla pal it was terrible, Marlon Mack pretty damn good, Calvin Ridley pretty damn good, Adrian Peterson not Brita Andrew Luck, Kirk Cousins, Kelvin, Benjamin, Aaron Jones. Those the nine picks after the first defense went off the board in my holy draft, right, would you like to guess where the Jacksonville Jaguars ranked this

year in terms of Fantasy points for a defense. I'm talking accumulative, not per game, well, even per game, they're bad, But where would you rank down God, Jacksonville Jaguars third fantasy defense this year, Ladies and gentlemen, If you ever needed more evidence as to why you shouldn't draft a defense, early Jacksonville Jaguars, and I know it was like them in the Rams who were like one and two creating off their own issues. But the Rams are also the

number two fantasy scoring defense right now. A lot of that was that Chiefs game. Like, outside of the Chiefs game, how many people were actually starting the Rams defense without a key to leave? You might have done it the first couple of games of the season, but if you if you remember, like every single week was a back and forth with the Rams and someone else, and they were giving up like thirty points per games. So outside of that game against the Chiefs, the Rams haven't been

all that great either. You know another another defense that was drafted super early, Greg Philadelphia Eagles. Like to guess where the Philadelphia Eagles rank is, correct the seven stats Fantasy points by the way, after defense really good. By the way, Jackson he actually told me and like the next message because we were talking Jackson Goller's rank defense. Actually I wish I saw that previously. Uh Yeah. The

fact is it's gonna keep happening year after year. There there's gonna be one defense that stands out that people are gonna take early and to be so so dumb, dumb, and think about The Bears were the defense that people didn't start in Week one because they were facing Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. A lot of people, we knew what the talent level that they had on that team,

but people didn't want to start the Bears. A lot of people picked them up in Week two heading into their their next matchup because that is the number one fantasy defense right now is Chicago Bears who went undrafted. Mostly, that's gonna do it for your statisticians, your winners, and you're still champions. Your fantasy best friends, Prapper go up next. It is the Fantasy Football Frenzy. Corey Parson, Jim Day, Chris Fetcher will have you covered for the next hour.

For Frankie Stamville. My name is Greg Susman. Thank you so so much for watching and listening The Fantasy best Friends Forever. We'll do it all gonnamorrow, we hope
