Rocks and Speeds back at it again Saturday, holding you down on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network with me and Rocks do as we give it to you off the dome with these hot beats, bumping, holding you down so you can win your lead and win that cash. Yo, Rocks, let him know what's good for Week five? Yo, Man, We're heading into a week five where we saw some major injuries

and getting at the You gotta talk about this. We gotta talk about this, you know, because I was talking about Cam Newton for a while. Remember how the Denver Broncos were hitting him up in week while. Yeah, but he looked like he was concussing that he looked like he was concussed. They've been talking about how there's no personal foul penalties again at them. I think it's because he's black. That's not the craziest thing I've heard. He's

also a large guy. But yeah, I mean, Roethlisberger gets some of those calls and they play a similar style game. What are you gonna do with him Monday night football. You don't know if he's gonna play, if he's not gonna play, I don't know. Manuel. I was. I was actually up Derek Anderson him. I was in Carolina for the game. I was not at the game, but I was.

I was at a bar, and Carolina fans seemed like they were kind of getting sick of some of that nonsense with him, of just like not having his head in the game. It kind of reminded me of the fumble in the Super Bowl when he was going there. We just saw that the competete, like laps and judgment because he was concussed and I think he got cuts on that play. But in terms of if he does sit and you know, Cam doesn't exactly have a history

and missing games. But if he does sit, Derek Anderson is not a terrible last ditch effort if you don't want to start. And I like that matchup. I like that matchup as long as you can hedge with Derrick Anderson. I don't think it's that terrible an idea to to wait for camp because that's a really good matchup. Alright, alright, let's talk about this, and you know, Rocks and Speedes, what we do is we get in a real quick we go straight to that news. We're gonna give you

that fire later on in the show. We're gonna give you our game flow geniuses. We're gonna give you the diamonds and the food gazies or week five. But you know there's another injury I want to talk about real quick, Rocks, Um, listen, I really feel like in Chicago, Um, Kevin White is trying to be like al Shan jeff and he's trying to be in so many different ways. You know, um, physically get it. You know what a what an athlete?

What an athlete? Right? But like like Alshon Jeffrey, if you have no idea, if this guy is gonna play and turns out he is not gonna play that ankle as you're now is putting him on injury fractured. You know, it's real bad, It's real bad. And what do you know? Kevin alshon Jeffrey also on the injury report this week, UM, I think these guys are I think, like I said, Kevin White, aspiring to be like al Shan jeff I think that's a that's really making light of another man's

maladies and that's low still catching that check speeds. I expect more from you. What I will say though, is yeah, I mean, Jeffrey seems like he's not really going to see the field for quite some time. To put him and I are, Um, you know, in terms of al Shan, though he's played through it, you're not really seeing the targets you would have liked. I still think he's a good upside play season long. It's certainly a pain always seeing him questionable, always hearing about the soft tissue stuff.

But when he has played, he's performed. I think seeing more targets with Kevin White out now, I think you're gonna see al Shan go back to the target levels he saw last year, and I think he's gonna produce when on the field, and as Speed says, you don't know how how often you can count on that. Though, no doubt, no doubt you wanted to talk about another quarterback. I know that what we do here on Fantasy Freestyle,

we hit you with the headlines. We hit you with these injuries because that's where you're gonna that's where you're gonna do best. You know where you can go. That's the theme of how we do it on Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna do that again. Talk to you about our game flow geniuses are diamonds and our food games. He's we got another injuries quarterback out of Denver, right, an

interesting situation in the mouth. Yeah, man, Trevor Simeon, who started off really doing a great job operating that new Gary Kuby at offense, not asking the quarterback to do much, and he was really he was playing pretty well, coming off his best start of the season by far. Yeah, he got he got injuries, got a non his brain in his non throwing shoulder. And you've been hearing kind of conflicting reports her day to day, her data. One

of those injuries. Though, yes, say say worried man, aren't we all, but it's one of those injuries where apparently they're afraid he's not gonna be able to protect himself and if he does get hit, they could make it worse. That's really interesting because you could see Paxton Lynch, you actually performed admirably as a high upside start this week. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I like at receiving Combo. You know, DT and Emmanuel, they're looking both of them

looking good coming off from good games last week. And here's the thing. If you think it's a situation where he could get hit up and hurt, I I don't really fear the Atlanta pass lush, you know what I'm saying. I mean, their offense is crazy right now at thirty seven thirty eight points a game. I don't know that that's sustainable. With Matt Ryan, we'll talk about him a little bit later on. You know, Vick BEA's leave. I mean, you know, they don't even know what you're doing with him.

Quinn doesn't know what he's doing. Speeds. You're right here, right, I mean, I don't think I don't think it's necessarily the pass rush though, is if he does and this is a guy who's operated your offense really done all your best, strong defense, strong running game. Why risk it when you could possibly lynch out there? I guess that's true. It is early in the season. I don't think and I don't think it would take his job though. Okay,

it's just a straight up injury. Take Simmy and has done nothing wrong, you know, so I think you know they view if they view him as a starter, white risk and long term. I hear you. I hear you on that. You know. One of the last thing that I want to talk about. This is not an injury per se, but a very serious situation, you know, Rox and Speeds bringing it too on the Fantasy Freestyle here

in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Um. You may have heard again in that game in Denver, Um Tevin Coleman, Um, he has a sickle cell trade. Okay, um, true story. And you know, the only kind of precedent that we have were one of the presidents we have here is Ryan Clark of the Pittsburgh Steelers was out there also having the sickle cell trade, and he like he really was affected by this. This extremes alto was turning into him losing thirty pounds having to have his spleen and

gall bladder removed. He see the story. So and they're saying that Tevin Coleman is just gonna go out there. He's like, Yo, I'm gonna play. I'm telling you this show, um, and I've been talking about it all week on Shot. Cole was also on the Fantasy Sports Radio network. You can get you that every Monday, Wednesday, Friday seven a pm. Um, Yo, this is gonna be then Davante Freeman show. Yeah and Yo Speeds. I remember like the first time I ever

heard a sickle cell, it was Prodigy. It was Yeah, it was hit him up with Prodigy and shout to Bob Deep Yo, Fantasy Freestyle represented. I had no idea really that sickle Cell was like even that series. It was really like messed up a two buck to say that it was it was, but yo, yeah, I had him on the Summer Jam. If I would, if I was, if I was Tevin Coleman, Man, sickle cell is nothing to play with, and he's able to make the trip, why would Atlanta Bonta. Freeman is also more than capable

of handling the man. Like you said, Yo, Tevin, don't risk it, stay safe man. Yeah, and only at you don't want that how to hit you up? Yeah, I I agree, and only at seventy four D for Devonte Freeman. I think he's gonna get the lion. Yeah, and he's gonna get the lion's share of the work. We'll get into that when we talk about some games later on Yo Russ as we talked about it here. You know, Fantasy Freestyle. We do this every week to help people win year leagues and win that cash. But we're gonna

do though. In the first four weeks, I think there's been a few surprises, you know, kind of overall we're at the quarter pole. We're talking about diamonds and gazes. Right, there's a couple of three and one teams that, to be quite honest, you know, I'm surprised about. You know, remember Rocks, we did our over unders on some team all man Um. You know this one three and one teams that clearly are surprising us. You know, let's start out in Los Angeles. You know Rams, who we had

at under seven and a half. Yeah, we took the under in the season, you know, and if you look, if you saw hard Knocks and and what they were doing at that seven and nine. Nonsense that eight and a jet Fisher and you saw one getting them. I still full game. I laughed, man, I laughed. I was like, you know, I was like, Yo, props to us on that on that under seven point five. I was laughing

at I'm not I'm not laughing anymore. They looked like the worst team in football but after Week one, but turns out they've got out of a three game winning streak, including a big win at the division rival iris Old in the last week. They now our home to face the Buffalo Bills. I can't believe you, but later on you're gonna hear me. Man, I'm gonna pick the Rams Aboll four and one. Honestly, that the Rams, I want to say, like that is aarondonald. Yeah, this pro football

focus is number one overall player. He's anchoring that defense and he's really making all the difference in the world for that team. I like that, Rocks. You know what we need to do is look up and you know people listening to this on the Fantasy Sports radio network, but we're gonna do help you right now. Go to your local uh, you know, wherever you can get a little action in your local habitat wherever that is, and

gambling were a little sheckles. And if there are flexible odds on defensive player of the Year, I would be very interested in Aaron Donald. Okay right now because look J J. Watt out for the yep um Khalil Mack underperforming with that Oakland Raiders defense that is last in the NFL against the past keekly playing. Yeah, so your revis looking looking older and older and hands. So listen, Aaron Donald, I wonder what odds you can get for that.

Check that out if you are email usd email us that Twitter should just talk that Twitter where at Fantasy Freestyle leave off the last because we make no errors. I will also say, um, Atlanta at three and one. That's surprising for me, Robs, but I think the Falcons usually get off hot. They got off hot last year as well, and then they regressed. Matt Ryan Um was super hot last week obviously five hundred and four yards passing. But I told you last week. I'm gonna tell you

this week again to sell on Matt Ryan. We'll talk about why in a little bit. I will say though, that this is we experienced Pete kolill Oh. Yeah, that was awesome. And again I was saying, I watched that game in Carolina and you could not believe those sad Panthers. Fantiel. Do you think Caroline is missing Josh Norman at all speeds? It looks like it a little bit, you know. I mean, these young corners they got out in Carolina do not seem to be doing the job. I wonder what will

happened Monday night. And that's Mike Evans and that's another week. You know, that's another team that we really did not see. I mean, I think we were both fading them a bit, but I did not see Carolina at one in three. I did not Camper Newton possibly not even starting. I did I did. Yeah, of course, that a lot of injury there. Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron artists Pine have not been able to carry the mail. I will say this.

I did call earlier on especially on shot Callers. I talked about, um, my long term concern for cam Newton because I do think that that's going to hurt them. And I even said play them as a survivor pick in week two because I didn't want to save them because of this issue. Remember the over unders we had those rocks. One last thing I want to talk about Indianapolis folks. We thought this was their year in a

very winnable division. Turns out two things. One Indianapolis Folton, I'm gonna tell you right now, Joe, Indianapolis culture there from office is foo jay Z. Forget about it. Here's why they had yet to realize that they need to protect their legitimate franchise quarter fifty four. Really this was their issue last year. They tried to hurt, They tried to dat right, They drafted, They drafted Rock Kelly the center. But of listen and not to mention their defense is trash, trash,

straight trash. So what are you doing? You are wasting. This is Andrew looking, I'm signed to the richest deal in NFL history, about to enter his prime. I draw comparison to John Elway, both out of Stanford. Both were incredible talents, Both in early in their career were not supported by the front office. If you remember with Elway it was not until he got a defense and Terrell Davis that he started to win his Super bowls. Will

see what kind of career arc he goes on. But with the rams and the polls are fantasy freestyle over unders. We got a little bit of work to do. That's why the second quarter of the NFL season is upon us as where teams sort of settle into things a little bit. You you were comparing luck in Elway. Elway had like some interesting hairstyles early in his career. Not I was gonna say, like, how do you really like rank their respective Hairstyley, Andrew Luck is at the bottom?

Andrew Luck is at the bottom, You're Alway hair bad? Yeah, Andrew look has that whole Hogan ring and still kind of looks pretty. Still got a nice little sound shout John always hair, Shout to John Elways hair. And I was looking real smart with that. You know what, I still want to shout out real click before we move on. You know, I wanted to shout out to the Mets fans out there, Yeah, the Orioles fans out there. Man,

It's it's really cruel baseball. A hundred sixty two games season and all of a sudden, Major League Baseball makes those September games so exciting and tense. And then I don't know, man, if you're a fan of either of those teams to go so late in the game and the news in a winner takes a game, it's interests tough man. You don't think they could make that like a three game series, feeds. Um. You know, I don't know. That's an interesting question, Rocks. I don't think they're going

to make it be series. It would be it would be nice to see, Um, and I bet people would watch. But I do like the drama of the one game winner take off wild card. And I got two points I want to make on this one. Both of you guys. I want to tell you the Mets and the Orioles, you guys made the playoffs this year. Okay, out to you. You guys definitely made your oriole listening to this Rocks and Speeds fancy freestyle. You've get our props from making the playoffs out in holler at us show. We'll have

you on the show for sure. Um. The other thing I want to say is this is interesting and I think it tests the kind of like quote unquote unwritten rules of baseball. And we talked about the same Retricians and how people manage in Toronto. They and the Baltimore Orioles who lost that game. They failed to bring in their closer Zach Britain, who went forty seven of forty seven in same chances this season with a zero point five seven e r A and a zero point eight

four whip. But I wasn't a safe situation. I don't give a damn. I was arguing that you should get votes for American Lead sy Young Award this season. And the funny part is you break that joke. You know, we talk about it. The real term here, as we

know is the high leverage. Can you name a higher leverage situation than what they were in not season was on the line, and you know, I completely agree with you, but that just again, it's just it's just how cruel it is when it's won game for your team and then and then also they'll have to watch your manager kind of melt down like that. And and and in the Mets game, you know, and the flip side and you got there closer they did, and so I can't melt

down gave up that shot. So you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't know. Easy answers except for the ones that we give, y'all, yeah, exactly from showing yes as we give you could take to the bank to win your league and win that cash. You know, we had to get up. Shout to the baseball real quick. Shout out to any of the baseball champions who wrote wid didn't that advice that Rocks and Sleeves were giving you all springing the summer long. When we hit you

with those hives in the streets. We were holding teams down left and right. When we come back, when you get into as many games as week five as we got possible, who you need to sit and you need to start, who you need to low ball off, or who you need to pick up, who might be a survivor pick for you? Who we like with those points birds, We're gonna go into all the games we five October, all right, this is going to start to get serious

Fantasy freestyle in the Fantasy Force Radio Network. Rocks and Speeds. Speeds and Rocks, if you want to crown them, crowned her ass, if you want to crown them, Dick crowned her ass. I would rather play with ten people and just get penalized all the way until we got to do something else, rather than play with eleven. When I know that right now that person is not sold out

to be a part of this team. Yeah, you know what it is, Rocks and Speeds back at your Fantasy Freestyle holding you down on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know how we do. We help you win your league and win that cash. So we're gonna do right now is We're gonna go game by game, going to week five. Let you know what you really need to know. But you can find those so many different ways. You can find Fantasy Freestyle on the iTunes, you could find

it streaming on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You could find it on this act with the Fantasy Sports Radio apps on get that app. You know another app they need to get is that Sports Guru because you'll hear Rocks and Speeds giving our takes on different games all the time on Sports Guru. Download that app where fans talk about sports on video. Yeah, man, I like that untapped app that helps me track the beers that I drink. I'm really into craft beers. You can find me Rocks

on that untapped app. So many different things Rocks and Speeds here. But we're Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know, Rocks. Let's get into this first game. I want to talk about the Houston Texas going up north to the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. It is Sam Bradford and Jerick McKinnon as opposed to Teddy Bridge Woda and Adrian Peterson, and yet they probably are right now the best team in the NFCA. It's really crazy. Um, I

really like Jared McKinnon and this one. Houston is really not that great against the run, and Bradford has done a good job of doing just enough to keep that opposing defense from stacking the box. He's actually only sixty two d dollars and the fan dwell, I really like him. I think he's in play because I think he's going to have a bigger role near the goal line. And I'm talking like Mazata not getting the job done. They need to see what they have in McKinnon as a

true feature back. He is aps not getting any younger. Also, your speeds, I know we agree. Stefon Diggs is not the man this week. I don't like really anybody in Minnesota, but what I do want to shout out in terms of their past catchers. Your Kyle Rudolph, congratulations heard you just had twins. Wouldn't start you this week? Houston is shutting down the tight end position basically completely. They've only allowed like less than a hundred yards all year, no

touchdowns him and Bradford. You know, they got that man crush going on. But I'm not starting Rudolph anywhere. These are tight end three so far this year so interesting that we want to start only Olsen and Uh and Uh and right absolutely on the Houston side. You know, Lamar Miller continues to get used in Houston. Remember he was not used in Miami. He is fourth in the

NFL with three hundred and fifty one yards. At the point I want to make is he is second in the NFL with twenty three cabbies bird game, only slightly behind Ezekiel Elliott. Bill O'Brien has said they were going to use them, and boy are they ever. I think it will be a lot different, however, against this Minnesota Vikings defense. And I think this definitely plays out with

the wide receivers. We'll talk about that a little bit later on when we do our diamonds in our from gazes, but let it know, it's a bumpy road for anybody who wants to go up against fig Xavier Roads. You know, the next game we want to talk about here on the Fantasy Freestyle is, um, you know, Big Ben Uh, Antonio Brown and Levy on Bell they looked great and oddly enough, they actually have not played to get they're as much over the last three seasons as you may think.

But when they do, boy do they look good. And unless there's an injury, that's what the teams in the a f C are gonna be dealing with for the foreseeable future. The first team to deal with that is the New York j E t S Jets Jets Jets who are in quite frankly a tailspin with Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing it to everybody not wearing green and white rocks. Yeah. Man, you know, you know I've been hating on Ryan Ryan

fit Patrick for a hot minute. Um. What I will say though, that there's a time for him to get right. It's against the Pittsburgh defense that basically forces teams to throw on them, and I think that that works out perfectly. As Matt four k has worn down and effectiveness as they gave him so many touches to begin the season, and as Blah Powell begins to emerge as the pass

catching back. There Honestly, I think that fitcy if he can't have a good game in this one, that boats really really poorly for any Jets pass catcher moving forward, and also really votes poorly for the Jets themselves. But I will say, though, is that you were talking about that ridiculous Steelers offense. You know, I don't generally stack things that cost so much money, but I would consider

stacking in this one Big Ben and Antonio Brown. It's so expensive if you can find values elsewhere, and I believe you can perhaps and those feeds breaks down lineup sometimes, but break down some of that too. But what I think is Big Ben for eight six hundred, Antonio Brown for nineties six hundred. Who I think they are going to light up a Jets defense that has not been able to stop big plays. They haven't been able to stop intermediate plays. I think they're averaging nine point seven

yards per attempt against them. And Big Ben is a sort of guy I'm gonna have a huge, ridiculous day at home against that Jets defense. He's prone to do a Big Ben at home at times, goes off for five touchdowns, goes off for five hundred yards. It can be done that Jets defense looks vulnerable. One last player you want to talk about in this game on the Jet side, you mentioned power. I like that called Boom

boom bilal pal. Also especially you don't know about Matt Forte going into it, but we also don't know about Eric Decker. That shoulder injury looks like week to week, and that means you know who might be getting targets as Fancy has to sling it around in an effort to keep up with Big Ben. I think I'm gonna see a lot of targets down the field for Quincy Wah. So I continue to like Quincy a doolin that deca role. He's actually the best wide receiver in the entirety whose

first name starts to que Ah. There is Quentin Patton on the San Francisco Robbie. You've been on that Quincy evening. You knowsly it's great when a player causes you to take notice, and it's even better when his name is so fun to say it makes me take double notice. It's true, you know, I love saying that. We'll see if I can get him My other names in on this episode of Fantasy Freestyle. Here on the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. The next game we want to go to is the Philadelphia e who's coming off there by also undefeated, one of three defeated teams in the NFL, along with Minnesota and Denver. They go to Detroit and are short road favorites. They are three point favorites on the road at Detroit. You know, I love that Jim Bob Cooder offense in Detroit, but it might be time to get off the train. Golden Tin has been nowhere. Marvin Jones is hit him over the top, but that's about it.

We'll talk about him a little bit later on in our show. I do believe in that mailbag segment, what do you expect of this game? Rocks Philadelphia coming off of by undefeated, riding high. I mean, I honestly think that you're gonna see Carson Wentz continue what he's shown thus far. The Lions defense has not been interested at all in playing defense. They've been rebuilding all of Detroit. I hear these great stories of a rebirth. Where why

is the Lions defense being left out of us? You know, I see I see great things moving out of the city. Like Nick Fairley in the I don't see anything I don't see the inflat because of investment that I'm hearing about everywhere else in Detroit deal they have been getting completely lit up, and I think Carson Wentz is gonna be able to continue that trend in this week. I also think in Speed's I know you're a big fan of dude, Zach Hurts coming back is going to help

them a lot. Mainly for this Wentz has been textbook in terms of taking what's given to him, not forcing it too much. The only time you've seen him really look like a rookie is on his scrambles, and I hope that they rain that in, uh, you know, because you really don't want to see that kid get hurt. Absolutely, you know. I do like Zach Hurts. We'll talk about him a little bit later on in the show. We do our Diamonds in the Rough and food gazz He's one the last point on this game though, and I

do this on Wednesdays. We have fetting up Wednesdays on Shot Callers, and sometimes what we do is pick out the trap games. And this is really interesting. I don't know at home the Detroit Lions with eighty percent of the tickets in Vegas on the Philadelphia Eagles and just such a play this. This seems like it could be a trap game. With my baby, I would I would watch out they introduced me to my soul. It's a trap game, you know, keep an eye out for that.

I would avoid the Philadelphia Eagles in Survivor one or two more games. We want to talk about the next one. I think it's an interesting national game at four o'clock in that four window, even here in New York as the Giants play Sunday night. Um, you have the Cincinnati Bengals going through the Dallas Cowboys and what I think shapes up to be an intriguing matchup Dak Prescott at Ezekiel Eliot, two rookies in the backfield for Dallas. Have you know Dak has yet to turn the ball over.

We don't know DEAs is gonna play, but this Dallas Cowboy offense is taking up a step up in class when it comes to the defense they're playing against. When they see Geno Atkins, mounts as Perfect come to town, a nasty bunch, they're stuck it up in class here. I kind of like the Bengals in this one. Let's say you rock yeah, man, I mean, you know, you

could definitely see the impact of Vanta as berfect. He came back off to this defense after that suspension for right, so many dirty things that but he's also filthy against the run game, and he's also someone who can drop back in coverage. I really like the way that Cincinnati matches up against Dallas because Dad has been money, but he's never really played when they've made him make plays, and he does not have Dez Bryant. I don't really see Jason Winn being able to win in the middle

of the field. I don't really see Cold easily being able to do much. And it was you know it's gonna be Zeke. He's leading the league. But I don't know, man, I think he is not going to have He's not gonna have a great game. He's actually his hundred touches to four games as a rookie is the most since two thousand and eight. But the Bengals I think are going to sell out to stop him and best. Yeah, man,

but the Mangals are The Bengals are pretty serious. It's gonna let's see what's Yeah, but do you think they're gonna be able to move that ball? I think that I'm saying they're taking a step up in class. I agree with you Rocks on this situation. I think Dallas is going to struggle to move the ball. I agree with it was a game where would be sonnight steps, game where the law of averages come into play dead. I think is going to turn the ball over in

this game. What do you see on the Cincinnati side, Yo, Man, I would have lost a lot of money after that Thursday Night game betting that A J. Green would have had bif star the most impressive game from any wide receiver this week Afterlo did and then lost lost in. What Julio did was how he is very dominant that A J. Green looked in that game last week. He already has ten catches in more than two games in two games this year. He only had two ten catch

games in each of the last two years. The news is great for him that Tyler Eifford is banged up again. There's no number to really separating himself in terms of in terms of Brandon LaFell and Tyler Boyd. I think you're just going to continue to see A J. Green soaking up targets and killing it. However, Dallas plays so so so slow, and I don't think this is gonna be a great volume game from Andy. And also I'm I think the entire passing game outside of a j

Green is basically gazzy. That includes Geoe Bernard Dalton, who's been he's been, he's been busting, He's not been booming. Dalton though, third in the NFL with twelve hundred thirty four yards thus far. I do agree, a very interesting game down in Jerry World. In the four o'clock the window. We have one more game we want to talk about here Rocks and Speeds on the Fantasy Freestyle here in

the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're saving it for last because it is the return of Tom f and Brady Ethel Tom Brady, and I think he's gonna be on some vindictive nonsense like they see it up for him the first game against the horrible Cleveland Brown's defense, Gronk

even working back into it to survivor pick alert. Yeah, man, And you know, I've been as much as I'm not happy about it and as much as I really generally hate, uh you knows, the national narratives though about things that is going to be an angry and motivated, Tom Brady, you will probably hear that phrase no less than the times after female touchdowns their evil geniuses. Um, you know, and I really think that you're gonna see. I feel

bad for the city of Cleveland. Um on many levels, mainly though because of the Browns, but for them to have to be playing the Patriots after the Patriots were just shut out at home, it's very unfortunate. You know. Tom Brady versus Cody Kessler doesn't even sound right. You know. It's just Cody Kessler is the wrestler set up to lose in exactly that you go the job, you're gonna lose to the to the baby facey Brady. But I will say in this one, I do not like that

you saw him pop on the injury report. But Julian Edelman for seven thousand on fan Dwell, if he is healthy, just seems like money in the bank. He has been really lackluster, particularly with with Brissette playing quarterback. Um, he's about to explode. If you can buy low on Julian Edelman somehow, I would try to do that in between now and the start of this game, because that window is about to close. Don't let it slam on your fingers.

Don't don't. Don't be trying to make trades after this week when he blows up, make those trade offers right now. You'll thank me later. By low On Edelman, No doubt it. On the flip side of that, you talk about guys like the past catchers like Edelman and Gronk. With the return of Tom Brady, there is a flip side to this, and I think it impacts Lagarren blunt Um. I do not think that he's gonna be able to pop off as much as he has in the last few weeks.

This is going to go back to the passing offense that it obviously is. So while La Garrett born his third in the NFL with three hundred and fifty two yards far, I think that's gonna cool off. I also think it means the cooling off period for the Black Unicorn Martellis Bennett. With the return of Brady and Grons, he has been a definite like you know, legit tight

end so far. I think those days are over. On the Cleveland side of things in this game, though, I got one thing I want to mention real quick, rocks Um. I think Isaiah Crowe well is an RB one going forward, Isaiah Crowell's he's the second most elusive running back in the league. Week three fifteen carries seven nine yards a Week four fifteen carries a hundred and twelve yards. They are riding him. He's RB seven so far. You wouldn't have thought that going into drafts this year, you know,

and Speeds. One of the reasons that me and you were really skeptical about him was we thought the Browns would be losing, which they have been, right, but we thought that it was gonna be Duke Johnson game script because of all of these injuries, because the third string quarterback is you're seeing them forced to stay with the running game to stay respectable the same way they just had to do the same way New England had to do with Garrett Blunt early in the season without Tom Brady,

and it comes full circle exactly. Speeds we got, we got, we got some We've got some flagship stuff that I'm coming here. That's what we're gonna do here in Fantasy Freestyle, Rocks and Speeds, that's what we do. We help you win your league and win that cast. We do that on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every Saturday, holding you down. When we come back, we're gonna give you our game flow genius, our diamonds in the rough, our fantasy fool gaze is forget about it. That's what we do here,

Rocks and Speeds. We're holding you down on a Saturday, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on back right after this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Playoffs. Don't talk about playoffs. You're kidding. Make playoffs so we can win a game in fantasy. As in life, opportunity is everything. In this next segment, Speeds and I'm gonna break down to you are game flow geniuses. Who you got, Rocks. You know, I really like I really like Terrence West.

In this game against the Redskins, they basically can't stop the run at all, and Baltimore is a home favorite. You you know you saw Baltimore is one of the most crowded, muddled back field in the league. You're beginning to see a little bit of clarity now that Justin Forsett has been released. Terence West had an opportunity to seize that backfield last week, and he basically did that.

Since then, Justin Forsett has been released. I know that Kenneth Dixon is supposed to be coming back, but I really think he's gonna be a bigger challenge at least the first couple of weeks to buck Allen's passing down role. I really like West this week to continue to dominate carries and to really put a hurting on that Washington run defense in the second half of this game. And that's why he's my game flow genius for this week. Your speech, you got another one for me? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

d I got another game flow genius for you. And this is straight up. This is Philip Rivers. Okay, Philip Rivers. They he throws, throws, throws. Let me tell you about this, and you're gonna find no consistent quarterback than Philip Rivers. In Week three, uh three hundred thirty yards. In Week four, three hundred and twenty one yards. He's almost an auto play. And they are now playing the Oakland Raiders, who are the thirty second ranked defense against the past. How many

teams are there in the lead thirty two team? Because I know sometimes y'all fantasy heads don't be known. Here's the thing, here's the thing. If you're on that fan duel, I got burned a couple of weeks ago trying to stack Philip Rivers with Tyrrell Williams and it didn't work. Here's the thing that I've learned. You don't know if it's gonna be Dontrelle Inman or Tyrelle Williams or Travis Benjamin or Antonio Gates or even Melvin Gordon or Melvin Gordon or even Dexter mccluster for God's six. So I

say take the aggregate. That's what's gonna happen against that past defensive Oakland. That is do do And we got in a good old a f C West shootout. I expect this to be a game where the last team who has the ball is going to win. I like Philip Rivers to go over three five yards. This is the game with Gates back where he gets three touchdowns. He is my game flow genius. Throw throw throw. My second game flow genius this week is a Marie Cooper.

He's been so slow to start the season, and Derek Carr has been killing and drafted three right now, drafted a Marie Cooper. And you're watching what Michael Crabtree's drewing. It's kind of it's eating you up inside. And I understand, family, but you know, this week against a San Diego Charger defense that is no so good, just like the Raiders defense which is no so good. I think you're gonna be seeing a Marie Cooper eating because, as Speed said,

it's gonna be a shootout in this one. And honestly, Cooper's matchup got so much better when Verette was lost for the year. The San Diego pass defense took a huge hit. I think they're gonna have to throw late in the game and this one to keep pace with them, And I think Cooper is gonna find some space first touchdown of the season to go along with the passenger, to go along with the receiving line. It's like seven catches,

let's call it a hundred fifteen yards. And he's a game flow genius in the second half of that a f C West shootout, like a rock. This is a San Diego defense that's in the NFL giving up twenty seven points per game, and that was with All Star Pro Bowl cornerback Jason Burrett, who is now out for the year with an a c L injury. Oh, those are our game flow geniuses. That's what we do here. Rocks and Speeds give it to you on the Fantasy

Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You'll if you want to get at us, We're also are gonna do a mail bag every now and then, So if you want to get at us, you can get at us on that Fantasy Freestyle, Twitter Fantasy Freestyle with no e leave off that no errors with the Fantasy Freestyle, And if you want to hit us as a mail bag, you know it's easy to hit us. If you don't want to beat and you know you don't want to see that in public. Everyone knows the sort of questions

you're asking. You email us at Fantasy Freestyle at gmail dot com will answer your question, and if you're lucky, we might answer your question on Aero Speeds. What's the lucky question this week? Oh yo, Yeah, we do got a lucky question, you know, check it out. We got a question from I Evan from Manhattan and he wanted to know listen how it's basically your classic question. Do I take what I've seen so far in the first four weeks or do I think you know? Do I

sell early? This guy is the ultimate trade proposal. With that talking about in a deal, would you be happier being on the side getting Marvin Jones, who has had a great season, and that Jim Bob Couder offense. J see nothing nothing. This question is really just an excuse for me to say, Jim Bob Cooder, or do you take the side and a deal where you would be getting Odell Beckham junior. Odell Beckham was probably your second

or third wide receiver off the board in draft. He has yet to score a touchdown with only three catches for twenty three yards against Xavier Rhodes. You know, and obviously that's all the drama, that all the drama that's going on, and what side of the deal do you arrive at that? That's what I even from Manhattan wants to know. What say you Rocks, you know what's up? Five? And I hope everything's going good with you and congratulations

heard the news from speeds out. What I will say though, is that you do not trade Odell Beckham from Marvin Jones. You certainly trade Morvin Owns for Odell Beckham, you know, but there's no oh, I mean beyond that. Even Odell Beckham already you know, he's on pace for twelve hundred yards. He didn't exactly have a ridiculously fast start to last year yards wise and catch wise either the touchdowns where

they're positive touchdown regression is coming. He's still one of the most explosive players in the entire league playing in that Ben mcadoo's also fun to say that Ben McAdoo offense where Eli is gonna be looking for him, and while the defense is better than it has been in the past, and they've shown nothing in the running game, and that makes me think they're gonna keep throwing the ball in the next part of the season. You know, as they kind of work these things out, brighter days

are ahead. Listen to Rocks, hold on to Odell Beckham. He's gonna take care of you. Marvin Jones will have a couple of good weeks, but Odell Beckham is gonna outperform him from here on out. It's not even gonna be close. That's what Rock says, all right. You know, I love that Jim Bob Cleaner offense that I do think Marvin Jones is becoming a true wide out one.

If you just don't want to deal with Odell on your team anymore, I understand it with the drama, but we talk when we play fantasy football here, it's really all about the stats, the truth, he told. Eventually, Old Tell Beckham is going to generate those stats. This I understand you may have to be worried about him acquiring these penalties that again and kicked out of a game at some point in the season. But I'll cross that bridge if I get to it. I would also love

to have Oldell Beckham and pennies on the dollar. That's what we do here. We talk about what you need to do. So we thank you for the question there. I don't know if you guys want to hit us up ross and speeds, you could do that. We'll answer your questions here on the air on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network for Rocks. You know what time it is. We gotta give him another one of our trademark segments to close out the show here for week five. That's

our Fantasy Diamonds and the Rough and our Fantasy fool Gazy. Oh, Matt, that looks so fake. That fool gazy's foolazy. How do you know to food gazing? Look for the seconds least your fake Hey, I know the gazing honestly speeds After after San Ginnario row ended. You know, I feel like it gets, it gets, it gets like five or six degrees colder. It does. And you know, another place where there's some weather situation right now is in South Florida

to Georgia Colchi. We just want to we just want to send, you know, send our well wish towns everyone there possibly affected by the storm. Was right see higher ground. Um. What I will say though, is one of my diamonds, Lord Willing, you know it just missed. The storm goes out to sea right right. One of my diamonds week is gonna be playing in Miami. It's DeVante Parker. He's coming off a terrible game from Tanny Hill. He couldn't get anything going for Cincinnati. And I think that, you know,

that's more on tanny Hill. Vante Parker. He saw thirteen targets in week two. We's only seen nine the last two weeks. What I'll say is sometimes when this little shine off something, you polish it and what you wind up with is a diamond. I think he's gonna bounce back this week versus Tennessee team who's really having a little bit of trouble. He's actually gonna be facing off

against Parrish Cox for a lot of the games. It makes me uncomfortable to say Parish Cox, Um, I really think that he's gonna he's gonna be able to dominate him. I'm looking for like six catches ninety yards in a touchdown. He's only sixty on the fan duel, check the weather before the game. You know, we're praying for for Florida, hoping that everything works out okay, But if that pops off, that makes him a diamond in my past, no shining,

no doubt. Rocks predicting that Hurricane Matthew might be of food gazy with that diamond. I'm a little bit worried about that storm and seeing what kind of game would actually take place down in South Florida. You know, Rocks, remember when you were talking about Terrence West before as I think your game flow genius. You know. Interestingly enough, I go back to the well on that Baltimore running back situation. I have Kenneth Dixon. That's my diamond in

the rough. I like him in his debut to be honest, you know, I think, um, this kind of situation in the tournaments on the fan duel, he's going for only fifty eight hundred on the fan Dwell, and I think this is where a great situation where you have to be early with it and be on him, but when he pops and not pay for it the following week when his price finally adjust. Kenneth Dixon, they've been talking about him, They've been hyping him up all year as

the running back they back the most. That's part of the reason they let go of. Justin foresaid, I do agree with you that kind of Dixon at Terence West are gonna be the one to punch with West in the early downs. But I think Kenneth Dixon is the better value. I liked um. I like him in PPR formats. He's my diamond in the rough this week. I like him to break out in his debut against a bad Washington defense. He's my first diamond, no doubt, man. And my second diamond is is C. J. Anderson. And again

it's a guy that showed early in the sea. He doesn't have sickle cell, does he not? Man, he doesn't have You know, he's he's in Denver all the time. Okay, not only is he in Denver, he lives in the penthouse in that's that's even higher up, he's all, well, yeah, man, he lives on Touchdown Mountain. He's gonna be going home

against that bad Falcons run defense. What I think is, either way, he's been seeing consistent touches twenty touches and three out of four games, the quarterback is either gonna be Trevor Simeon, who's gonna be banged up as we discussed, or Paxton Lynch, who they're probably not gonna want to put too much on his plate. So I think you're going to see a really, really healthy dose c J. Anderson. And I also think that that Falcons offense is coming

back down to Earth. I like the Broncos to beat that six point spread, and I think that that's going to translate into eighteen to twenty two touches for C. J. Anderson. Let's call it a hundred twenty yards kind of touchdown. That is expensive for eight thousand dollars on the fan, dwell, that's twenty touches guaranteed. Basically, that's hard to get and sometimes you gotta pay for it. That's why I think he's gonna shine like a diamond touch down. You know,

check it out. You know, he's all the way up. My second diamond is uh, you know, similar to Kenny Dixon. Kenn's ex would say, debut, this is a return in week five. I'm going to that Philadelphia Detroit game. And I like zach Ertz. I like zach Ertz coming back off injury. UM missed weeks two and three, then Philly had a bye in week four, and tell me, come on Carson Wentz. And there's all the hubbalou around Carson Wentz.

But the thing is, he's the exact kind of quarterback who would love to have a good tight end as a target. He's had anyone who's open exacts can get open. I think urts will easily get you eight targets or more in this game. Um and the Detroit Lions are historically bad against the tight end position. They give up these second most points to the tight end position. I like this return in a game for Philly, also coming off the by so having time to study themselves in scheme.

I like this return. Zach Ertz is only fifties six hundred, going for over two thousand dollars less than You're your your your guys like Jordan Reed and the like, who I know you're gonna get into so uh my diamond zach ERTs in his return for the Philadelphia Eagles Fly Eagles Fly Yo Speeds. It's really funny that you said that too, you know, because I also like zach Ertz

this week and my fool gazy. Part of the reason about fool gazes because I like guys like Carson Wentz throwing a zach Ertz better this week than Matt Ryan. This is a hot take that Rocks and Speeds have been given it to you. Okay, listen, if you were listening to us last week, I told you sell Matt Ryan, I don't give it. Damn if he went for five D and four yards, I sell sell Matt Ryan, and Ross concurs. And when that happens, you take it to the bank because we help you win. Your league can

win that cash. Let him know, Rocks. Yeah, Man, Carolina got exposed last week. That was as much about Carolina's defense as it was about Leo Jones and Matt Ryan, and mostly it was about Julio Jones being ridiculous. That was again, Pete Julio, what's great? Matt Ryan. You know, Matt Ryan, Speed said earlier, has a habit of starting fast what I will say is that when you chase those points, that's when the points start running. Sell high,

avoid at all costs. This week against a Denver defense that's been shutting down opponents like WHOA, they just don't allow top twelve passers. And Matt Ryan on the road with his boy Tevin Coleman with sickle cell is not the same as Matt Ryan. That comfortable, cushy Georgia dome. Yo. I'm not kidding. If you have someone like even a Matt Stafford going into a bad matchup, even Brian Hoyer going into a good matchup Ryan Hoyer over Matt Ryan's, I would start Brian Hoyer over Matt Ryans were hauld

On hould On, I'm sorry to stop you Rocks. We gotta do something we haven't done in a couple episodes. We gotta make a gentleman bet on this. I say, in Week five, Matt Ryan scores four Fantasy points than Brian Boyer, are we doing four points? Touchdown a six points? The first time? We'll do it. We'll do it the league we're in together. Those stats fair enough, I'll shake on that speed. That's a gentleman's bet. That's what we do here on fantasy freestyle, Rocks and speed, we hold

us is accountable. You'll hear about it next week. Rock fully fool gazy. I don't disagree with you. You know, I still say sell Matt Ryan. But you got a little sick there when you were talking about went in went in on that. I got a yeah, I got a fool gazzy for him. Forget about it. And you talk about Rocks that lead we're in together. I'm about to shout out as a fool gazzy one of them I tried and true players. And I'm talking about the d hop, the d hop a bottom it's DeAndre Hopkins.

I am a little bit worried about dandry DeAndre Hopkins. He only had one catch for four yards last week on six targets. Rocks. I know you've been talking for the last few weeks about Will Fuller and his ability to maybe take targets, and I've been talking about the Texans as an NFL team as opposed to a fantasy team, saying that like this is good actually to not have double coverage on DeAndre Happens, but one flu catch for

four yards on six targets that bothers me. You know, it's because, especially because while he was so great down the field, a lot of his value last year was tied Kim being peppered in those intermediate targets. You absolutely you got more than what about two hundred targets, like you got a hundred and nineties some odd targets. But here's the thing, and now this week they go to

Minnesota and DeAndre Hopkins is gonna see Xavier Roads. And Xavier Roads in the last two weeks has held Oldell Beckham on Monday Night too, only three catches for twenty yards. The week before that, he shut down Kelvin Benjamin. Those are those are bumpy Roads. He had Kelvin Benjamin with only one target that came and with two and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter. And now he sees DeAndre Hopkins. We only have this conversation about who

the best cornerback, Indianna Fell. But this Minnesota defense is sick. And I think this Minnesota defense is so sick. They have the number eight overall fantasy player right now depending on your league settings, obviously, but check it out. You know, I think Xavier Rhodes is announcing himself this year, much like how on Fantasy Freestyle we were early with Josh Norman, we were telling you about how that defense and look what that defense wound up doing, and look what it

is doing this year without Josh Norman telling you. Right now, Xavier Roads two thousand sixteen and the Minnesota Vikings defense is what Josh Norman was, if not better. And that's DeAndre Hopkins up against this. This is the New Island, okay, because Rivers is now all Peninsula Bumpy Rhodes for wideouts that go up against Xavier, and this week that is DeAndre Hopkins. So he's my Week five gays forget about him, yo, my second fool gay ze as we get ready to

take you out home on this is Jordan's read. We go in big this week. Jordan's read tight end too. He's coming off a week where he was seven for ninety with two touchdowns. But Baltimore is back to be a Baltimore defense that you might remember from those two thousands, you know, Ray Louis years. They're having a really good year. They've been particularly tough against the tight end position. They haven't allowed one single top twenty score at tight end.

They're only allowing a hundred seven yards passing in a big deal. A big part of that has been Eric Weddle. He's been ridiculous this year's big He's defended more passes, He's got two passes defended, he's allowed one catch. The only safety in the league who can say that, and he didn't even say it, you know, And what I think is he's gonna make him and that Baltimore defense are gonna make Jordan's read look like a twenty pair of fake Jordan's And that so clearly full gaze. Forget

about forget about him. You know. I got one more foul gaze for Rocks here and the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio network. We down doing to win your league and win that cash you. My second fool gaze is Stefan Can you digs it? Um? Here's the thing. He had to have crazy breakout, but in the other four games of the season he has not gone over sixty yards. I think defensives are starting to understand. You see Sam Bradford managing the game in this North Turner offense.

Um content to take one or two shots a game down to Charles Johnson on the sideline, but have like handball the McKinnon, just move the game, avoid the mistakes. Finally, to Rudolph exactly, Rudolph has been nice over the middle. We talk about Dak Mescott and Carson Wentz, who have you had to turn the ball over. Sam Bradford also has yet to turn the ball over. But defenses are realizing that Stefon Diggs is the playmaker on that offense on the outside and they are giving him the tension

he actually deserves. This week, Houston comes in and Houston is the second fewest points given up to the wide receiver position in that back seven. I think even without J. J. Watt, they still might be able to contain Stefon Diggs a little bit. So he is a week five food gazzey for me. Phili Speeds, that's a good call. As we talked about earlier. You know, we're putty much down on all on the Minnesota past catchers this week. What I will say though is once again, congratulations to Kyle Rudolph

on those twins. Sorry to y'all Mets and Orioles fans, everybody else. Good luck in week five. Me and Speeds gave you everything that you needed. To know to win your league and win that cash. We'll be back on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network next Saturday, a week six, holding you down. You could also catch me Speeds on shot Callers every Monday from seven a pm on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, bawlers, shot callers. We do a lot of over there too. You can hear Rocks

and Steeds anytime whenever you want. We in those streets, right, Rocks, you man, catch us in those streets, catch us in those sports for us. As long as they got that Sunday ticket, we'll catch us on the internet because you know we're gonna be there. Good luck, y'all. Peace. He took the thirty. He's bear chest him paying his chest, and he runs the opposite away, Give unto the fifty, Give unto the forty. The guy he's drunk, But there he goes the twenty. They're chase up. They're not gonna

get him. Bleading his arms, pear chested. Somebody's topping comes the blue, yo, Holy got him? Here comes Holy. They tackling at the forty yard line,
