Speaker 1

Door listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge. Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned into the speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Up next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is. It's your boy, Dane Martinez, a k A sp j k A to Spitting Statistician a k a to Stable Genius

and vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode number four hundred and to the four hundred and second convened of the Stats over Beat Cipher, where we help

you win your leagues and win that cash. I got the Stats over Beats ciful already in the chat room talking about wide receiver ones, who to sit, who to start, what to do on Monday Night football, and exactly how much of your fab budget should you spend on Wayne Gallman. We are going to answer all of those questions on the Monday edition of the Fantasy Freestyle. We got a good show for you all. Here's what we do, like we always do on a Monday, we look back at

week three. I'll let you know what Speed's got right, what Speeds got wrong. I'll update the key injuries that you need as well, and then we will look at the waiver wire. I give you the diamonds and the full gazzies at this position. If you lost somebody like a Julian Edelman, if you lost someone like a David and Joku, if you lost someone like say Kwan Barkley, we are here to help you out. And we also

got a poll question up. Okay, my poll question today is which of these news starting quarterbacks in the NFL that we've seen over the last week or so do you have the most faith in will keep it going and actually be relevant and fantasy football? Alright, because we're gonna break these guys down. Is it Gardner Minshew and the mustache? Is it Danny Dimes? Is it Kyle Allen who was also at Texas A and m with Kyler Murray and showed up and showed out for the Carolina

Panthers yesterday? Or what about the Freemasons, Mason Rudolph and those Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh, by the way, right now, oh and three right now, everybody is all up on the Danny Dimes era here in New York. We'll talk about that as well. All right. So, so, like I mentioned, we got a good show for you, here's also what I want to know and the real deal stats over beats Cipher. You know about this, right, I mean, we're gonna talk about all these new quarterbacks. Okay, we're gonna

talk about that. We're gonna talk about the injuries, whether it be Sae Kwon, whether it be t Y Hilton, whether it be Vans to make them dance? Right? But can we also talk about bud Light Platinum for a hot second. Are y'all down with this blood buds Platinum, because I don't know if I am. It seems like they're just trying to play my man the bud Night for Herb, and I don't know if that's okay. I don't know if bud Light Platinum gets dilly dilly from me.

They're also making the King himself look like a little bit of a herb. I don't know, like he's like he's thirsty for bud Night Platinum or something like this, Like he's trying to be down with bud Night Platinum. I don't know. How I feel about this. Hit me up in the chat room, let me know about that. But I digress. Let's get into some of the big time injuries that did in fact happen week three. Okay, obviously you know about this se Kwon Barkley. They are

talking about it as a high ankle sprain. Okay. High ankle sprains are more um damaging than lower ankle sprains were regular ankle sprains as it were. They are now coming out and saying that this could be six to eight weeks for se Kwon Barkley. Okay, that could push it all the way to week Oh, I don't know, nine, ten, eleven, pretty much. If you need say Kwan your number one overall pick to make the Fantasy football playoffs, you need him through weeks like thirteen. He may not come back

until week ten or eleven. Okay, So if you use number one overall on se Kwon, you may be in that position that Young Cos was talking about last week on his remix track I'm Gonna drop some fab So we'll see about that, all right. Obviously, Sae Kwon Julian Edelman having more tests, all right. They're calling it a chest injury, and let me tell you something, Okay, um Antonio Brown is gone. Josh Gordon also looked like he banged up his finger. Julian Edelman is getting more X

rays and m R s done. This is This sounds like Philip Dorset. This sounds like a returning James White. And Josh Gordon is gonna be just fine. So it looks like Josh Gordon. You know, you could put him back in your line up. So we'll talk about the impact of those guys on the fab budgets as well. T Y Hilton, Okay, t Y Hilton, first of all, with a very nice game, scored his fourth touchdown of the season. He I think Amari Cooper and maybe one of the wide out are the only ones with four

touchdowns after three weeks of the season. But it looks like Hilton may not be here four week four. Okay, he's got a quad injury. Right after he caught that touchdown, I believe in the second quarter you saw him just waving himself to the to the locker room being like, yo, y'all gonna have to go back and check me out, all right. Also, you know Vance McDonald with the shoulder that Pittsburgh Steeler offense. They need to uh discover themselves again.

I'll talk about that a little bit later on in the show. Also want to update some other things. Listen tonight from Monday Night Football. Jordan Read is out again and they are now saying that the man's career is in doubt. We made jokes about Jordan Read all the time, never being able to be on the field, but the man now has seven, count them, seven documented concussions. And that's the key word documented, because you know we got

his bell rung a couple of other times. So Vernon Davis, if you caught to catch a VD earlier in the season, Hey, he maybe the tight end for the foreseeable future for the Washington football team. Can Am Newton already being ruled out for Week four. They took until Friday to rule him out for week three. Then Kyle Allen throws four touchdowns and they're like, you know what, Cam, you could take your time coming back from this one. And I

think that's the position the Carolina Panthers are. In fact, then they're gonna let Cam take as long as he wants, especially with Kyle Allen throwing for like se completion percentage. Oh yeah, and By the way, Jalen Ramsey, he's got the flu, so he won't be practicing. That's very convenient, so that it's not in the narrative and he's not practicing, just in case they wanted to flip him. We'll talk

about all that. We'll talk about the big takeaways from week three, what I got right, what I got wrong. We'll answer some of your questions. The phone lines will be open later on, and uh we'll preve you Monday Night football as well. Washington Plus five and a half, Episode four oh two of the Freestyle, Billy Billy, come on back. Hey, thanks for downloading this podcast. If you want to listen live, be sure to download the I Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

Thanks for listening and enjoyed the show. Welcome back episode four hundred and two of the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here on Sports Grid. Keeping up with the chat room, Mendo, my men, Mendo, Bruce and all of his fool gazes out there, says, bud Light sucks. You know, I am mad at you. It's like beer colored water, Mendo. But at the same time, if you gotta drink eighteen of them,

might as well be all right with that. My man Jerry in the chat room is has an interesting trade where he would be getting Josh Gordon, which I like these days, but we've given up Delaney Walker. And then he mentioned that he doesn't have other good tight ends. Okay, uh,

maybe we'll Disley is who he's got. And remember I say this all the time, and a two for two or one for one if not only that position, it's what would you be left with and the delta that you're dropping going from in this case Delaney Walker down to Will Distiley, who I believe is fool gaze. Uh, somebody should probably forget about. I know we had another decent game yesterday, but I don't buy it. Let me

tell you something, Russell Wilson. They are not built up to Russell Wilson will be throwing the ball fifty times. So for in this case, Jerry, I would actually keep the Delaney Walker side because you can find another wide receiver. It might be tough for you to replicate that tight end um, you know, production, but that's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I don't just give you a fish. I teach you how to fish, so you understand how to win your leagues and win that cash.

All right, let's talk about what happened last night and in week three overall. Here are my biggest takeaways, you know, and we're talking about it. Everyone's talking about it on this network everywhere. The new quarterbacks are here, all right. That's why it was my pole question. And listen, let me tell you something. All right. We could start with Josh Rosen only going eighteen at thirty nine for two hundred,

but they hung in there. They were only down ten six at half time, okay, and you saw them be a little bit energized as well. Same with Teddy Bridgewater nineteen and twenty seven, Okay, only on a hundred seventy seven yards, but got the two touchdowns. They also got help right from special teams from the defense. Defensive scored against Seattle yesterday as well. So they keep on rolling. Don't don't um, don't count out the Saints just yet. I know a lot of people did, a lot of

people went to Atlanta. I went to Atlanta as well. But Atlanta for me is now a conundrum wrapped up in an enigma, tied up in a riddle, you know what I mean. I cannot figure that Atlanta Falcons team out, and what I do know is that um Sean Payton continues to be able to be creative and put people in positions to win. Alvin Kamara with a huge game.

What about our man the mustache Gardner Minshew listen, I was telling you guys on Thursday night that the home dog was my trend and the home team on Thursday night, Gardner Minshew look great, all right, only twenty thirty yards, wounder four yards, but the two touchdowns early putting it up,

making having his wide receivers make plays for him. And again, the attitude, the energy was a lot different there than when you had, you know, um, even when you had Nick Foles early on, all right, and obviously then when you had Blake Bortles in years past. But let's get to the guys who really lit it up yesterday. We start with Mason Rudolph. He goes fourteen hundred seventy four yards,

two touchdowns, one pick. I gotta tell you something. The reason that the Steelers are in three is not because of Mason Rudolph. All right, That offensive line was not giving him protection. In my opinion, those past catchers still need I mean, they made Moncrief inactive for goodness sakes, right, And also you gotta start looking at that run game in James Conner, James Conna with only forty some odd yards yesterday, you know, And I mean those def that

defense got five turnovers. They just were not able to really finish the job and run the ball as they usually do. I'm looking at James Conner more than Mason Rudolph right now. If I'm looking for, um, the culprit in Pittsburgh, and then the two who completely showed up and showed out, right, Kyle Allen first of all, nineteen of twenty six. That is a seventy three percent completion

percentage of people are right. And I told you last week, I said that this could be interesting because what Carolina's offense is now predicated on is getting the ball into Dj Moore, Curtis Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, even Greg Olsen's hands. And Cam Newton is historically an inaccurate quarterback. Now he

doesn't even have the rushing threat either. Kyle Allen comes on in, and I'm not saying Kyle Allen is all of a sudden gonna be a pro bowler, all right, What I am saying, though, is he was accurate yesterday, and you see that when you have accurate quarterback play what that offense can look like. They put up thirty eight points yesterday, and a large part of that is because they were getting the ball into these people's hands, like look about it, all right, listen, Samuel five or

fifty three more? Only one catch. He took it fifty two yards to the MF house and all of a sudden, Christian McCaffrey once again with his oh I don't know, quick math says almost a hundred and nineties scrimmage yards. That's the way Carolina wants. They want the quarterback to be a distributor. And if Ham isn't running the ball anyway, keep an eye out. I don't think it's any coincidence that they have already come out and say that Cam

is still out week four. Part of it is because they know they're okay with Kyle Allen and then of course Danny Dimes. Daniel Jones goes twenty three and thirty six, three hundred and thirty two yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. But I gotta tell you what I was most impressed with was not only his twenty eight yards rushing and the two touchdowns, the one around the right side and the one straight up the middle in the fourth quarter

with minutes to play to give them the win. I am more impressed with his general, his mobility in the pocket, even when he wasn't running, quick climbing of the pocket, quick adjustments, finding wide receivers and giving them a chance to make play. Sterling Shephard coming up big, Evan Ingram coming up big, and again, different energy in the building. The only problem with the New York Football Giants now is that that defense is still blunt, guts trash. So

these new quarterbacks, I believe they are here. I believe they are here, some of them to stay. And here's what I'll tell you. I believe that this makes it a little easier for teams like Washington down the road in about a month to go to Dwayne Haskins, for teams like, oh, I don't know, the Cincinnati Bengals, like I've been talking about, to go to Ryan Finley, even for a team like the Tennessee Titans, to go to

Marcus from Marcus Mariota over to Ryan Tannehill. And by the way, people, there are now eight count them eight new quarterbacks since the beginning of this preseason eight teams. Okay, uh Indianapolis with Brissette Minshew uh, Luke Falk, Teddy Bridgewater, Mason Rudolph makes five, Daniel Jones makes six, Kyle Allen makes seven, and Josh Rosen makes eight. Okay, I think there's other places they can go. I almost wonder if over half the league we'll go to their QB two

at one point this season. By the way, people I know even talking about it a lot, but Antonio Brown has done Okay, that's another takeaway for me. This group text stuff was absolutely ridiculous. I don't know who is advising him, But then he also took shots at Big Ben and Robert Kraft on the way out. You know, remember when I said he was in his Dave Chappelle phase. Well, I'm going back to that right now people, because I

really don't know what's going on. Even the staunchest Antonio Brown supporter must understand now that the time is gone and who has been that person recently? You know what it's been our fantasy football insider O J. Simpson, Let's play the video. Even O J understands now Danny that it's time to drop Antonio Brown. I got people asking me all week and long. Is Antonio Brown gonna latch on somewhere else? Or is it safe to drop him? That Mende Young cause trade. I wonder who got the

better end of it? Now play O J, Danny m that's the new trifecta. All right, there it is. You can bring it back. You bring it back, Danny. There, you have it. All right? So even o J has now realized that he can go ahead and drop Antonio Brown. I saw another video from o J and check this out. These were o J's first four picks in his fantasy league. Are you ready for this? Number one, say Kwan Barkley, who's gonna be out the next six to eight weeks.

Number two Michael Thomas. I like him, but without Drew Brees. I don't know if Teddy Bridgewater. I mean like he had a decent game, but not whine out one kind of numbers, right, Michael Thomas five for fifty one in a touchdown, You're expecting a little bit more. His number three, his third round pick Antonio Brown that ain't gonna work, and his fourth round pick Andrew luck Man. O J. With that killer team man. Uh, too bad. He'll he'll

get away with it. He'll be just fine. And the last thing I want to talk about real quick, can we put it up real quick? You know, I've been messing around with the idea of like penalties and how many penalties they have been and the replays on pass interference. Tom Brady agrees with me, people, too many penalties. Just let us play. Then he says he's turning off the game because he can't watch these ridiculous penalties that was in Thursday Night Football. I have evidence to back him up.

I'm telling you these instant replays trying to generate pass interference, they'll piss me off. So did the sloppy play and the flags all over the field. I'll back that up and then talk about what Speed's got right and what Speed's got wrong. Uh. In the next segment, we'll look at the way for Wire. We'll preview Monday Night Football,

all that and more. When we come back, it's episode four d and two of the Fantasy Freestyle you heard, Come all right back, Billy, Billy, Hey, thanks for downloading this podcast. If you want to listen live, be sure to download the I Heart Radio app. And search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show. Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Fantasy Freestyle, Episode four hundred and two.

We got people in the chat room asking all sorts of questions, everything from the Josh Gordon to Laney Walker. We got people also talking about it. Um, you know this idea of you know, putting up O J at the same time, if you have been watching this show, and if you know about the stats over beats Sifer, you know exactly how we feel about this, and you know exactly if it is in fact promotion or not. But it is all good. Avatas as well is saying

that the penalties were down this week. But I gotta tell you something, alright, because here's the thing, all right, the challenges for for me, it's not only if penalties are down. For me, it's the flow of the game, okay. And that's why I grouped this into as well, Um, the idea of throwing the challenge flag to generate pass interference.

You know what I mean. And you say penalties are down, but not for some teams that lost in very close games where I'm starting to believe that their sloppy play is part of the contributing factor. Check this out. The Atlanta Falcons, who lost by three points alright to Advatas and anybody else. They had sixteen penalties yesterday for a hundred and twenty six penalty yards all right. The Tennessee Titans on Thursday, nine penalties for a hundred and one

penalty yards. The Chargers, who lost by only seven, seven penalties for sixty nine penalty yards all right. Cleveland last night, who was a one score game, eight penalties for sixty penalty yards. Even the Saint to one, but remember they're working margin was a defensive touchdown and a special team's touchdown alright. Eleven penalties for seven d yards on the ground. Okay, so I mean I'm not on the ground via penalty.

So it may be down overall Advatas and everybody, but those are five teams right there that are constantly getting burned by it, and it had an impact in my opinion, and wins and losses for them on yesterday's action. Alright. But that's enough about that. Let's look at what we got right, what we got wrong, um from last week. Because so many people are asking me questions, asked me questions all the way up through Sunday morning, and by the way, on Sunday morning, I am on air here

from ten am to one pm. So it's very hard to answer your questions even on Patreon. I do the best I can, but you know, come on, people, all right, while I'm also on air, it's not easy to also be answering. But here's what we got right and wrong. First of all, last last week, I gave you, guys, Thursday Night football. Cold alright, I gave you Thursday Night football. I said I liked the home dogs, which were the

Jacksonville Jaguars. I even told you that what I wanted was an early score so that I could push this total up above forty one, and then I would pound the under. That's exactly what happened. I hope you followed me because we got a little bit of cash on that game. I also told you there was gonna be a quarterback controversy in that game. Also last week. In that game. By the way, my number one wide receiver, Waiver ad last week, was a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

I hope you remember, Danny. We have that instrumental, don't we. We have a new instrumental for it. It was d J chart chart chart to chart to chart chart Chark chart, there it is. I told you that he was my number one waiver wide receiver waiver ad Last week he had a nice little game. He got seventy six yards and a touchdown. You can cut that, Danny, but check this out. Check this out. I know Strong Style likes it because he changed his team name to it. But

you know who else likes it? Y'all know, and stats over beats real cipher folks, y'all know about our guy Danny Lee. He always comes from the undisclosed location, right Remember he literally joined us like from the field of battle last year. And his boy boom boom pal. Well, guess who else likes it. His daughter, His daughter is all about DJ Chark. Check it out. Check out um. Danny Lee's daughter responding to the fantasy freestyle last week

when I was talking about DJ Chark, Oh she likes it. Yeah, yeah, all right, get it off. There we go, absolutely absolutely so big shout out to Danny Lee's daughter. Alright, bounce him with the d J chalk. I hope you picked them up because he did big things for you on Thursday night, football. I also told you on the Thursday show that um Matt Laflour is talking about evening up the carries in Green Bay between Jamal Williams and Aaron Jones, and boy did that work out well. Okay, Jamal Williams

actually had more carries, more yards than Aaron Jones. It was Jones with the touchdowns. Keep an eye out on that. I also told you about this Green Bay Packers defense. It is not a game, alright. Their defense is part of the reason they are now three and oh and in first place. Jilly Dilley showed you the notes. I told you about that one as well. I'm telling you I've been telling you about this a f C North as well. All Right, they're all chasing Lamar at this

point I told you Cleveland was in trouble. Baker Mayfield only fifty on his throws eighteen of thirty six. He's holding the ball a little too long. Collinsworth made this point also about like when he's holding it at more than two and a half seconds, it does not look good. Okay. And the next few teams they play, all right, they I believe have a by next few teams they play have fronts and front sevens that are gonna continue to put pressure on Baker. So I keep an eye out

on that. Pittsburgh I mentioned lacks the run game. I'm worried about if Big Ben will ever come back. And listen, honestly, Mendo, I don't know if Juju is looking like an elite wide receiver one without you know, without the coverage going towards a B, without the production around them, without Hall of Fame quarterback play. So I'm worried about Pittsburgh and

then obviously Cincinnati. They did nothing in the first half. Okay, they bounced back a little bit, but Andy Dalton has something like seventy yards in the first half bad throws. I think this division continues to be Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. And also, listen, I got hit up as the last thing I got right Ryan Mallison, big shout out to him. He's one of my patreons. He hit me up this morning being like Yo Speeds, I

hit on DFS, I hit on my prop bets. I won money this week because of you, So Dilley, Dilley, I appreciate that Ryan and anybody else On Sunday, I gave out Vonte Freeman over forty seven and a half rushing yards chi Ching. I gave out Nelson Aghalor over four and a half receptions chi Ching On the DFS, I told you that I was trying to stack Jamis right.

He threw for four touchdowns. That look good. I told you about Frank Gore getting the start in for um in for uh was a singletary out there in Buffalo. He scores a touchdown. I told you you had to go chocolate Chalky with the New England defense. That worked out well again, all right. And I told you about the home dogs. I said, yes on Jacksonville, No on Cleveland. And remember, if you remember carefully, you'll already know what I said about Monday Night football. But I got some

things wrong as well. It's not all funn in games here, Okay. Listen. I was hyping going into the season the tight end tier that was that middle tier, right, that second tier. And I said that I wanted Hunter Henry, Jared Cook, O. J. Howard, and Vance McDonald. Those guys are now listen. Jared cook Is tight end thirty, O. J. Howard's tight end twenty seven. Vance McDonald's tight end twelve. That's the best you're getting out of this group. And Hunter Henry is still out

for another you know, probably three four weeks. Alright, So I got that wrong, alright. I did say Ingram was in that tour as tier as well. He's number one. I did tell you about Mark Andrews, but I was targeting that tier and if you listen to me, you're probably not doing well at the tight end position. I got that one wrong. I also I was a little wrong on a Maori Cooper. Okay, I called him a wide receiver too going into the season. Shout out to my man Yang who took him as his wide receiver

one who drafted him in the second round. Amari Cooper looks like he is worth it. He is now the number four wide receiver overall in the game. T Y Hilton, Julio Jones, and Amari Cooper are the only wide outs with four touchdowns so far. And the way this Cowboys new triplets look with Dac and Zeke, it looks like they may in fact be onto something. That Dallas Cowboys have started thirty points every week a season, and Amari Cooper definitely has something to do with it. I regret

to tell you this next one. Guys. I really loved when they cut C. J. Anderson the Detroit Lions last week. I was like, Oh, this is gonna be good stuff for our boy. All right, So our boy, Danny, who when you lost in your loan and you're sinking like a stone. So the good news he got twenty carries, the undisputed lead back of Detroit. The good news is he got into the end zone again. He's got two touchdowns on the season, so we like that, and he

the touchdowns are saving you. Okay, he's still getting double digit points. The problem is on twenty carries. I need more than thirty six yards. Carry on. I've been hyping you for months now, and if you're not scoring touchdowns, you're kind of not doing it for me, Okay, so

I need you to step up. I like the fact that he's getting twenty carries, but he needs to do more than one point five hards to carry at one point seven yards to carry with those I am keeping the faith, but I understand that some people who are like your speeds, what's up with your boy? Carry on? He's still doing just fine in my opinion, but it is because of the touchdowns. I think also next week they played the Kansas City Chiefs. That could be the elixir for a run game. Okay, so I wouldn't lose

faith and carry on just yet. And the last thing, mentioning the Chiefs all season, I was like, listen, there's gonna be some regression from Patty Mahomes. There's gonna be some regression from Patty Mahomes. Yeah, well, I don't know. Through three games last year, sixties six percent completions, two d yards a game. This year through three games, seventy two percent completions and three hundred and nine eight yards

a game. The man is actually performing better then last year the Chiefs of three and oh and right now he does look like he is always the answer to whatever question you want to ask. And I don't care if it's the Patriots asking the question or any of these other defenses. It looks like Patty Mahomes as the answer. Patty Mahomes had the answer to the Patriots defense in the second half of the AFC Championship Game as well. The only issue is he never got on the field

in overtime. I think it may be different. And this idea that Patty Mahomes is obviously gonna regress from the video game numbers of last year. Yeah, I'm not so sure. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, I give you my take on the most added guys at the running back, wide receiver, and tight end positions. And then we go ahead and look at third Monday Night football Washington and Chicago. Forty one and a half is your total.

I have a play, you know what if your stats over beat cipher, and I got some prop bets for you as well. Come on back. It's episode four hundred and two of the Fantasy Freestyle, and the stats over beat Cipher. We'll fill in some phone calls if you can as well. So the number the call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven none. We'll see if we can get you in. It's episode four hundred and two of the Fantasy Freestyle. Here on Sports

Great Dilly Dilly heard. Hey, Thanks for downloading this podcast. If you want to listen live, you sure to download the I Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show. Welcome back episode four and two of Fantasy Freestyle. The four hundred and second convening of the stats over beat Cipher amateur fun. Yeah, I'll take the Trabinsky pick today. I will do that. I agree with Perrying. I agree with

Strong Style. I will in fact take the over rite there on Trabinsky. And by the way, Strong Style that is technically not eminem that is technically D twelve. I believe that is my band, technically D twelve Strong Style. But you know, I love your brother man um answering some questions that we got. Um. I agree with what Ben is saying that Patty Mahomes is kind of like Steph Curry in the and the way that he is changing the game, the way the game is played. You

know what I mean. Steph Curry has kids growing up in the ball, in the in the basketball court, you know, like trying to hit threes instead of trying to jam on somebody, changing the geometry and the math of the NBA. And by the way, Steph Curry is also going to play for Team USA in Olympics. We didn't like that seventh place finish, so we're gonna be like, Noah, We're gonna bring our real guys over there. Now. Mendel, I agree with you, no clue as to why they didn't

run Chub on first and goal. But I'll say this, Mendo, it's the same reason they decided to run a draw to Nick Chubb on like fourth and nine at one point in that game as well. I think something's up with the Browns. Freddie Kitchens, Baker Mayfield. I thought Baker look rattled. I thought Freddie Kitchens. I've been saying this from the very beginning. Are these the man to lead this team through adversity if and when it hits? And there it is tonight. Um, it's starting to come, and

I don't think it's gonna get any better. Uh. Their next game, I believe it's Baltimore. Um, so it's not gonna be that easy. Um, no panic. Darren Rob out there with Connor and Sony Michelle, I would not panic just yet. I do think Connor needs to get going all right. Um, he's been helping you out a little bit when the passing game, a very little bit. He does need to keep going. But you don't need to panic just yet. And it's funny we played um Danny

Lee's daughter and everybody's loving that. Mr Mrs says his daughter does the same. Some people surprised to see me on the big screen TV. You could always do that, you know, just cast it to the TV if you want to see this mug a little bit bigger. And you know, I have no judgment on whether or not you do. But let's get into the waivers because listen, you may have lost some people and we gotta get

into this alright. Waiver wires at the running back position. Okay, here are the people that I think are the heaviliest added and my take on if you should take him or not. Obviously, the first one is Wayne Gallman. Wayne Gallman is owned and only four percent of leagues. Yep, you gotta do it. They're saying six weeks. Even if it's six weeks, guys, that puts you to week nine.

If he misses four or five, six, seven, eight, and week nine you don't get Sae Kwon back until week ten at that point, and let's say it's a little bit longer, ten eleven. If you need Sae Kwon in your regular season and your RB three flex play is a guy that you ain't happy with, yes, you need to unload the fab on Wayne Gallman. Here's my only problem. I think they're gonna look from outside the organization as well.

I think they're gonna look to bring in, you know, and Alfred Morris, a j gi E, someone who's on the scrap heap. So don't go ahead and thinking Wayne Golman is gonna be a workhorse, gonna be some kind of stud like Zeke or or Sae Kwon was. But he's definitely worth your fab budget or your waiver. Priorities only four percent added um. Jamal Williams is only nine percent owned right now. I told you they he got more carries than Aaron Jones, he got more touches than

Aaron Jones. And as this Packers offense starts to figure itself out, I think there is a role for Jamal Adams if you need a running back. He's only nine percent owned. I advocate using a priority, using some fat budget on Jamal Williams. Also, Ronald Jones is only owned in of leagues. I think he is worth an ad At this point, it looks like the Bucks are realizing that Peyton Barber is just a guy and Ronald Jones.

Listen when fourteen carries for eighty yards yesterday, Now, albeit that was against the dumpster fire, blunt, guts, trash defense that is and will continue to be the New York Football Giants. It's not like Danny Dimes is playing safety, okay, but I do think the Bucks are realizing that Ronald Jones is a um, A, more talented, more dynamic back than Peyton Barber. I think he's gonna grab more and

more of that share as we move forward. A lot of people are also picking up Darryl Williams from Kansas City. I would not, okay, he's three percent owned. I think even when Damian Williams comes back, this is a committee people. You saw everyone from Shady McCoy to Darryl well Yams to Darwin Thompson. And when Damian Williams comes back, I don't listen. He was nice without Damien Williams, but I don't think I would waive my use my priority on Dattle.

Give me Wayne Gallman, then Jamal Williams, then Ronald Jones. Of these guys that I do think could be worth the add the ad if in fact you need someone. Let's say you lost se Quon or some of your guys have buys this week because this is the first week where they will be buys on the schedule at the wide receiver position. Listen, there's a few people Danny queue up that instrumental again because I told you guys

last week. But now, even after his seventies six yards and a touchdowns, and after obviously being the number one wide receiver of the Jacksonville Jaguars, our guy Danny is still only forty one percent owned. Who am I talking about? Play the music, Danny. That's right, that's all your kids out there, all right, there you go, whether you're watching me on the big screen, whether you baby girls and boys are dancing or not. I still would spend it

on DJ Chark. Alright, listen, he's forty one owned, Go out and get him another guy I really like, only thirty two percent owned. I would spend the priority if you need a wide receiver on Philip Dorset. Listen with if Julian Edelman is out, and even if not, it looks like Dorset is now really part of the fold with Tom Brady and a deep threat for Tom Brady. So I like that six for fifty one and a

touchdown yesterday. All right, listen, No Antonio Brown, he ain't coming back, so they could be going with Josh Gordon Philip Dorset as their top two all right in doorset only owned and thy two percent of leagues. Also, I was surprised to see these two guys were just a fifty percent owned. One is my man m vs. Marquez Valdez Scantling. Alright, he's six and a touchdown. He had the forty yard touchdown yesterday. He is I think the

number two receiver in Green Bay. And remember how I've always talked about this number two wide receiver in Green Bay. And I think that this offense is developing, will be better in a month than it is now. And I like Marcus Valves Scantling. He's only owned in fifty percent of leagues. You can go out and get him. You could also go out and get Nicole Hardman. Now I don't know about Marius Thompson and who all these other guys when Tyreek Hill comes back and all that stuff.

What I do know is Nicole Hardman can get behind the defense and Patty Mahomes is gonna find them. They are looking to get the ball and Nicole Hardman's hands, and I'm all about it. Give me if I need shares of the Kansas City Chiefs offense sure, l right, So those are some guys, and also especially with you know, Danny Dimes in town. I checked, Golden Tate is owned in only thirty seven percent of leagues and almost two

thirds of leagues. You can go out and get Golden Tate right now, and now with Danny Dimes, that might be a little bit more intriguing than it was. I don't have much for you at the tight end position. I did tell you though, before that Jordan Reed's career is now in doubt. So Vernon Davis only owned in twenty of leagues. He might be more stable. I know. I've talked about him as a stream there or one week fill in kind of thing. You may be live alright.

Phone lines are open, by the way eight eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I may have time for one or two calls at the end of the show in case you want to talk to the spitting statistician. I know Will dis Lee had another touchdown, but I'm still not on him. I told you Russell Wilson is not trying to throw the ball fifty times a game. I'm not on him. I'd rather have Vernon Davis and then a lot of people are talking about

picking up Dawson Knox from Buffalo. Not me. I want no part from Vernon Davis would really be the only tight end that I would be looking at as of now. So let's talk about their Monday night football that is kicking off in what half an hour? Forty five minutes? Right now, I'm staring at a total of forty one and a half as the Washington football team welcomes into Chicago Bears, and they are getting five and a half points. I told you about the home dogs. I told you

about the home teams on prime Time. I'm taking Washington and the points people give me Washington plus the five and a half. I actually believe that if you want to win a couple of shekels, I like Washington to win this game outright, and right now that is plus one. I think Washington can win this game. Yeah, the Bears defense is supposed to be really good, and I'm not saying they're not. But I this pick is me fading Mr r Bisky. I've been telling you I've been fading

the Bears and Mr Bisky all year long. I don't think he is that guy. The Shawn Watson in that draft class was Patty Mahomes in that draft class was I don't think Mitchell Trabisky and he doesn't have excuses. He's got Matt Nage system, he's got Allen Robbinson, he's got to going, he's got weapons. I don't think Mitchell Trabisky is that good. And I think it's games like this in a year where the rest of the world

will start to realize this. It's games like this where he'll be a five and a half point favorite and he'll defecate the mattress. Here's the other thing. They scored three points in Week one. They scored sixteen points and got lucky by the narrow from Pannaro at the end of the game in Death Denver. The Bears have scored one touchdown all season long. Give him to tonight. Even that's fourteen points. If I'm laying five and a half, that means three field goals from the Washington football team

gets it done. And I've seen Case Kingdom performed pretty well so far. Okay, he had a good first half against Philly. He they hung in against Dallas, all right, I think they can score enough points even against this Bears defense. Give me the Washington football team plus five and a half points right now as it relates to prop bets. And by the way, dogs went out right this year, I mean this week Jacksonville. I think this

could be very similar to Thursday night football. No one believed in Jacksonville at home, and they showed pride all right, and that quarterback in that offense stepped up and then their defense made some place. I think the Washington football team can do that today. I got a prop bet for you, okay. I like what they're saying in the chat about an interception for Mitchell Robiskie. Here's the one I like. I like Chris Thompson. I like Chris Thompson.

And you got running and receiving yards for Chris Thompson. I believe most of it will happen out of the backfield, but the number is low. To me, it's at forty six and a half. I got it over for me. I'm taking Washington plus five and a half and I'm taking Chris Thompson over forty six and a half scrimmage yards. I think that listen, first of all, if the Bears are up and the back door cover is live, and

maybe this is a seventeen thirteen Bears win. But if that's the truth, then they're gonna get out of their offense. Case Keenum in the shotgun. You know who's not on the field anymore. Adrian Peterson will not be on the field anymore. You know who will be Chris Thompson. I think Chris Thompson a couple of passes. I think he catches four or five balls. All he needs to do

is break one of them for twenty. I like Chris Thompson to go over forty six and a half yards and I like the Washington football team plus five and a half if you ask me the total. I do think this is a low scoring game. But this is one of the ones where like everybody thinks it's a low scoring game. So when everybody's on one thing, I'm a little bit on the other, you know what I mean. So, UM, I don't know if I want to play the total.

I might play the total live, um, but I'll be here for in game Live with Gabe Moriency in the next hour starting it off. Mr mr tells me, good point, Thompson is the past down guy. That's the way I'm looking at this game. Script all right, um, Jamie McMahon saying he lost se Kwon Barkley. He needs Monty to run free. We will see about that. Uh, We'll see what David Montgomery does tonight. I do think he's the guy to own as opposed to people are talking about

Anthony Miller and others. I think David Montgomery is the guy to own. Danny, you got a W in the stats over Beach League. It looks like right, unless what is it Mendo you're playing against? He needs a big game at a Trey Burton tonight. Right, he does. He needs like uh, I think almost points. All right, we'll we'll see. Good luck to you, good luck to the rest of the Status over Beats Cipher young cos put it on me, guys, I am not doing so well. I will follow the one and two in that league.

I'm still undefeated in a the flex league of experts. I'm feeling good of GST. I got a ton of teaking that. A lot of them are still doing good. Too bad. The Status of Beats Cipher one is not one of them. Um. I like that Druid Gaming putting Montgomery in as you're like m v P or as the captain in DFS today. I would put Chris Thompson as well. I think Thompson is gonna eat people like McLaurin as well. We shall see for me call it

seventeen thirteen Chicago. Maybe they get to win, but I don't think they're covered by the five and a half. I like a low scoring game and give me the prop bet of Chris Thompson. I stay here for the first hour of In Game Live, The Raging Machine Sports Rage Gabe morn See. We'll talk about those three and oh Buffalo bills, I'm sure at some point as well. Thanks for everybody. Episode four hundred and two. Dilly Dilly, vote on the pole, hit me up on Twitter, hit

me up on Patreon. We got DFS lineups and you know Game of Inches on the Thursday episode. Come on back, you know how we do it. Dilly Dilly, I'm out of here. Hey, thanks for downloading this podcast. If you want to listen live, be sure to download the I Heart Radio app and search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Thanks for listening and enjoyed the show. The Browns only have one win and the you know you look at the Ravens. They lost on the road yesterday, so there

is still time to write this episode Kansas City. It's not a big thing though, you know it's okay, Ravens. I agree, but from a record standpoint, the fact that you're own three, it's not It's not great buy any stretch of the imagination. But there is still time to get this ship right, you know, Mason Rudolph, Dude, you're on the road in San Francisco, of all places to start.

Is not an easy thing. I get it. But I do think we're also a lot of this talks to the coaching and you know, we talked about this on on Pro Football Today, yes today, about what we're gonna learn which coaching staffs are really elite, are really better than the rest, Because here you are with backup quarterbacks galore. How many of you are prepared or can coach these people into a situation where you make them look good, You put them in a position. We talked about it

all the time, Dane. Put a guy in a position to be able to succeed at all costs, no matter what. I don't care what you gotta change. And I think we saw yesterday what what we've got in Carolina. I think we we've seen I think Mason Rudolph is a work in progress, and I think they're still trying to figure out what is it. He does really well. But I can tell you this, if they're not running the ball Pittsburgh, it doesn't make a difference who's behind there.

They've got to figure out a way to get James Conner going, and they have not been able to do that. What a disappointment James Conner has been thus far. If you wanted to, you could find excuses week after week, right, you know, against New England they were down thirty points, so the game flow it is completely different. You know. The shock of losing your franchise quarterback in the middle of week two, I think has something to do with it. Yes,

obviously San Francisco has a good front. He ran for forty three yards, you know, so I you could make excuses, but I think I think with Pittsburgh, if you gotta zoom out to the bigger picture, because I don't think they come back this season, especially with the way Baltimore looks. Listen, losing by five in Kansas City is no big deal to me. I still think that the Baltimore Ravens are

the class of that division. I'm just thinking for the future, you know, I think there is a universe where Tomlin could be on his way out in Pittsburgh where they are changing the page in a bigger fashion. And if that is the case, why the hell would Ben Roethlisberger want to kind of sit through that for the end of his career. And it's different, Joe. I know, it's

not the Timmy John surgery. Whatever. He can say whatever he wants, But in about three months, when he's in the duldrums of rehab every day as a thirty eight year old man with a hundred forty million dollars in the bank and maybe having a deal with a new coach and the kind of downside of the cycle of that franchise, I'm not so sure, especially if Mason Rudolph looks like he might be able to beat him out for the job.
