It is the Fantasy

Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Day Martinez Speeds and spitting Statistician, the stable Genius, bringing you back in on a Friday. Okay, we got news, we got the notes we gotta get to. You know, we're gonna talk mostly about and body that's a little questionable or whatever for the a f C, NFC Championship game. But like I have been saying all week long, all of these people are going to play. These guys are not gonna sit out the a f C or the

NFC Championship game. I don't care if he is wearing gloves in his press conference. Tom Brady is going to be under center for the New England Patriots. He is, however, listed as questionable. Okay, And if you believe that I got a bridge, I want to sell you because Tom Brady is gonna be under the center. I don't care if he has stitches in his finger, which is what we are now hearing. I don't care if he needs a glove. I don't care if they need to put him in a JPP kind of club. It does not matter.

He will be out there. So don't worry about the report that he's questionable because of a hand injury. Adam Feeling. We've been talking about it all weeks. I gotta ceeling that he is going to play despite his lower back injury that he has been dealing with all week. There's other eyes like two Shawn Gibson for Jacksonville and Rex burkehead for the Patriots. These guys are gonna address. They're gonna get shot up and they're gonna give it a go.

Maybe they won't be effective, but they will be out there. They will not be in street clothes with this Sunday. I also want to start We've been talking about Todd Haley for a lot this week. This is now the former offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers. We heard that there were some uh, you know, personal issues between him and Big Ben Roethlisberger. We're now getting reports that Todd Haley is interested in the offensive coordinator role in Arizona

with the Cardinals. And here's what I find interesting about that. Why are they talking about their offensive coordinator higher before the head coach higher? As you know, Bruce arians retired, walked away, And as you know, I've told you guys that I think this is the worst job available. I think they're gonna wind up getting kind of a coordinatater

who's like one year too early or a retread. And the fact that they're talking about coordinators before the head coach, to me, signals one thing that they have already zoned in on someone that is on a staff, that is already playing or that is still playing in the NFL.

So to me, that could be Pat Shermer, but it could also be this linebackers coach for the New England Patriots, Joe Brian Jones I believe is his name, And this would be the kind of guy that fits in line with what I said, fits in line with what the Chicago Bears did. Try to get an up and coming coordinator, maybe a year early because your job is not that attractive. Okay,

So I think that could be it. And it makes sense that it could be this linebackers coach for New England, because then what are they doing getting it tried and true veteran offensive coordinator to pair with him. I think that could be the move for the Arizona Cardinals. We will find out a little bit more whenever the Patriots are done playing, in my opinion. Also want to tell you Robby Anderson, wide receiver from the New York Jets who had a breakout season this year. Yeah, well, he

got arrested down in Florida, and check this out. This sounds this sounds interesting. Here he got arrested for reckless driving reports where he was going a hundred and five on the freeway, eluding police and resisting arrest and then you know, this is a little bit of a family friendly show, especially when I got the kids making their picks. Go online and see some of the things he said

to the arresting officers. Okay, he said that he was gonna do some things with members of his family, namely his wife, and that he was gonna do some things onto his wife. Go check that out, and uh, you know, I think that gets you arrested and you're not gonna be able to talk your way how to go on one oh five and then being belligerent against the cops.

Um in Cincinnati, they are now saying, you know, they're in their off season, so they're talking about who they bringing back next year, and there are reports that they will not extend contract offers to both running back Jeremy Hill and they're oft injured tight end Tyler Eifford. And so what this means to me is that Tyler Croft now it's viable potentially in h dynasty leagues. Remember it's

skill plus opportunity. The opportunity will be there because I don't think Eiffort comes back with Cincinnati, and that means that next year the Bengals will be going with a running back tandem of Joe Mixon and Giovanni Bernard. Last thing I will tell you, Remember we're talking about these Arizona Cardinals. If Todd Haley becomes the offensive coordinator, one of the weapons he will have back at full strength is David Johnson d J two K. They say he

is a hundred percent healthy. If I was him, I'd be trying to show myself as a hundred percent healthy to try and make sure one Larry Fitzgerald gives it another run with the Arizona Cardinals. All right, here's what I want to talk to you guys about. All season long. We have been hearing about how ratings are down in the NFL, how they're trying to experiment with things like these pop up ads because they know they're fighting against

the tide. They know people can see UH football games or highlights in so many different ways, right, with so many different streaming options out there, but not so fast, check this out. This will still tell you that like sports are still the only reality TV that matters reality TV, you know, And and there's plenty of shows out there, and I like a bunch of them. They were in our our you know, Greatest TV of All Time bracket

which will be bringing back by the way sometime soon. Um. People talk about like reality TV, no, no, no, no no. Sports is the only reality TV, the only thing that you still now must watch live or miss out. You know, you could always tell people, oh, I haven't binged watched that yet, Oh I'm still a couple episodes behind. But you can't do that with live sports. And here are the numbers to back it up. Check this out. In two thousand and seventeen, live sports were eighty one of

the top one hundred shows all year ratings wise. People are watching live sports and not watching anything else live. And then check this out of the one in sports sixties, seven of them we're NFL football. Okay, So that's why it's still costs millions of dollars to advertise in the Super Bowl. That's why you know people still are watching football. That is what you have to see live, whether it be Red Zone, whether it be the network feed, people

are still watching football. Out of the top ten viewed UH telecasts this year, nine of them were NFL windows. The other one was the Oscars. So the top ten things that were watched in the country this year, nine of them were football games. This is still the religion of the United States of America. On Sunday's people go to the TV to pray, and they pray to the

Temple of the Red Zone. They go to play to the temple of you know, Tony Romo and Chris collins Worth, because uh, it's still the only thing that is in fact must see TV, where all these other reality shows you could DV are those you can't DVR. Live Sports And here's what I want to do. You know how I always say the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Well, last year Fantasy Sports Radio Network won the fs W a UM Rookie of the Year, Newcomer of the Year,

and we're all very excited about that. Last year also on Target with our guys Jake Seely with Joe Piezappia at the time, with my boy the ten Benny Riccardi, they won Best Radio Show of the Year. And what I want to say is that I am pleased to announce and I am pleased to kind of thank everybody out there. Starting with the hashtag stats overbeat Cipher is if you're watching right now on YouTube, you see the background, You see how it usually says the Fantasy Freestyle and

usually got my picture on it and all that good stuff. Well, now check it out. There's a little thing here that says the Fantasy Freestyle is an award finalist for the fs w A Best Radio Show of the Year. So I just want to let every yeah drop the bomb on it, Chris, because listen, we keep it so hot that we sweat steam, we blow up like a Samsung seven. We help you win your leagues and win that cash, and we have been recognized by the fs w A as one of the five finalists for the Best Radio

Show of the Year. So I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everybody that has anything to do with the show. I'm talking about. I'm talking about Jilly Dilley, I'm talking about the stats overbeat Cipher. I'm talking about Young cos in the Effect. I'm talking about my guys down in the Fantasy Pit of Misery, Chris Bovona, the Animal. I'm talking about Chris Ventral. I'm talking about my guy

Danny Alto, who does the stream. I'm talking about Ashley A. Bray who helps out everybody who helps out here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I am humbled and overjoyed to be one of the five finalists for the Best Radio Show of the Year. And anybody watching right now, y'all are down with the stats over beat Cipher and y'all a part of the reason that this happens. So here's what we're gonna do when we come back. We're not gonna, you know, celebrate and rest on our laurels.

We're gonna continue to bring you that heat that you know you need here from the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm about to make my picks for Championship weekend. But I don't do it alone. I'm doing it with the kids, all right, That's what it comes down to. The kids are ahead of me, so I gotta gain a game or two, and I think I might have a way to do it in the a f C Championship Game. We will find out. We're coming right back. We make our picks

for Championship Sunday. Dame Martine Speed, the spitting statistician, the stable genius on the award maybe winning Fantasy Freestyle, definitely on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on back. Hey there, everybody, it's met Joe Pezapia. Baseball is back, and that means the Fantasy Baseball Black Book is back as well. It's me, it's Paul Spoor writing starting Pitching Profiles, It's Jake Seeley, it's Sammy Reid writing the DFS. It's

a whole lot of greatness right here for you. You can get the New Fantasy Black Book for Baseball on Amazon, on iTunes, you can get it in paperback. You can get it for your kindle. You can get it anywhere you want. But make sure you get it because once you go Black Book, you never go back. The champ is here. The champ is here. You know what it is. It's your boyt Dane Martinez and you were listening to

the Fantasy Freestyle. I was gonna get into our picks against the kids, but I hear that we have one of our favorite stats overbeats members on the line. So I want to say, Dilly dilly to my good old friend Jilly Dilley. How are you doing, Jill. I'm good, I'm good. Hey. I was so happy to hear that your finalist. How do we make it so you win that radio show of the Year because you deserve it? Well, thank you so much, Jill. I really appreciate it. I

think although I'm not positive. I don't think it's something that people can vote for. I think, you know, the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, they have kind of like their expert panel there the association themselves, and they wind up giving the award um you if you want. I think the best thing to do would be like tweet at f s w A on Twitter and then tell him that you're part of the stats over beat Cipher, that you really enjoyed the show. Maybe you can kind of

grease the wheels that way. But I don't think there is an official vote. They are going to announce the winners UM on February six, and yes I am one of the five finalists for Best Radio Show of the Year. But thank you for all the kind words, Jill, and thank you for you know, kind of keeping it locked in all season long, even in the playoffs. I know you saw that I had that Patriots Titans game cold last week. Hopefully, hopefully I get some picks right this

week too, how Jill, Yeah, you do great. I mean really, I didn't even know if I was gonna listen after the fantasy season was over. But my day isn't the same at four o'clock Pacific time without your show. It's great. It's just great. It's fun. And I have a whole list of all the little things that you say. I keep a whole running list of all of them. Thank

you so much, Jill. I really really appreciate it, to be quite honest, like I you know, we we try how to help people out, but it is really, honestly, it's the stats over beat Cipher. It's people like you, It's people like Taco and Alabama, It's people like Pete and Staten Island, it's people like young Cars in the effect that really I feel like we're building a little community here and I really really appreciate it, and it

really it's fun. It's fun for me to try and you know, uh inform and entertain everybody in the way that we do it here. So I really really appreciate it. Um, and thanks for the sweater once again, Jill, I definitely was rocking that. I think on Christmas Eve, I wore it out and I will definitely have it next year as well, and hopefully you continue to watch and listen. We're gonna do a lot of fun things even before baseball starts. So do me a favor and keep it

locked to the Fantasy Freestyle. Thanks so much for calling it, and Jill and uh, you know, hopefully Yeah, hit up F s w A on Twitter and let them know that you're a fan of the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's see how that works out. Alright, but thanks so much for calling Jill. All Right, so here's what we're gonna do, Bavona. We are going to start to make our picks. But before we make our picks, we gotta hear what some of the kids are saying. Okay, we have some of

the same kids, some new kids. We're gonna start off with the debut of our guys, Sammy. Sammy is down there in New Jersey. You may remember Sammy. He was one of the kids last year. Last year, Sammy was only like fourteen months old. He famously picked the Detroit Lions by roaring because it was only like fourteen months old. He's a little bit older now. He's verbal now, so that's a good thing. Let's see who Sammy has in the a f C T Championship game between the Pats

and the Jags. Who's gonna win the Patriots. He's going with the Patriots. It took him a little while he was thinking about it. He was laughing about it. He's going with the Pats though, Sammy. Who does Sammy have in the NFC Championship game though? Eagles and Vikings? Sammy, who the Eagles of the Viking? Are you sure? Okay? So he seems a litttle bit more sore about the Eagles. Sammy had a decent record last year as well. So he's he's uh, he's in. He's confirmed. Sammy going Patriots

in the a f C and Eagles in the NFC. Now, we have a couple of people who were already you already know. Okay, first we are going and check this out. Remember how we called Zoe last week? We had Zoe and I called the Zoe take the points garlic because she took all of the underdogs in divisional weekend. Well, I gotta tell you something. Zoe knows what she likes and Zoe sticks with her approach. Let's hear who Zoe has in these games. Let's play Zoe. None of the

teams are yellow. That's okay. We've got Patriots or the Jaguars. She's going with the Jaguars, She's taking the points, and the Eagles, Eagles, she's going with Okay, So here's the thing. Here's the thing. Zoe is going with the Jags. She's taken the seven or eight points, depending on the shop that you're looking at, and she's going with the Eagles. Zoe probably listens to the Fantasy Freestyle, and Zoe probably

knows that I like the home Dogs a lot. I want to take those points, So Zoe take the points. Garrelic is going with the Jags and the Eagles. And then the last kid that we have is Michaela. First of all, we gotta get it right. MICHAELA is apparently six years old. I called her like eight years old, so she makes it a point to let me know that she is actually six years old, which makes it all the more amazing that Michaela went three and one last week. Okay, she's flying high. Let's see if she

can keep on doing it. It's here from Michaela. Who does Michaela like on Championship Sunday? Hick Okay. So the first game we have is the Jaguars versus the Patriots. I think the Jaguars are gonna win again because I love cats. You know, she's sticking with these cats. She's definitely sticking with the game is the Minnesota Vikings at the Philadelphia Eagles. I think because there's American Birds by Nix by Michaela. We love having you on the Fantasy Freestyle.

So check this out. Michaela's going Jaguars. You knew she was gonna go Jaguars because she loves the Cats. And then she's going with the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay, so she too, is taking both of the on the Dogs. The kids really like the Cats, and the kids really like, you know, fly eagles, fly the balld eagle for the United States. So here's the thing. The kids are like a lot of the kids. Michaela went three and one. I'm five

and three on the playoffs. Okay. So in order for me to get ahead of MICHAELA and some of the other kids like Audrey and Tito, I gotta go the other way. Good thing that I want to go the other way anyway. So in the a f C Championship game, give me the New England Patriots. All right, here's the thing. I'm taking the Pats. Um I would love, Don't get me wrong. I would love the Jacksonville Jaguars to win this thing, Okay, I would love the Patriots to defecate

the mattress. I would love for Tom Brady then oh my hand was heard, blah blah blah, and then have McDaniels go away, and Patricia go away, the linebacker coach go away. I would also love it if Tom Brady got a little banged up by Saxonville and then instead of being able to go to Jimmy g Q, they instead have to go to Brian Hoyer. That would be an interesting narrative. But ultimately, I do not think that Jacksonville goes after going into Pittsburgh and getting a win.

I don't think they go into New England and get a win. I don't care the thing the Patriots what they do right. They try to take away what you do best. They try to make you play left handed or one handed right. They are going to stack eight, nine, ten, all fifty three guys in the box to try to stop Lendon four net. Now, I understand that that's the way everybody has tried to play. The Jaguars stop Leonard Fournett,

and yet Jacksonville still lead the league in rushing. So I understand it's easier said than done, But I think the Patriots will be able to keenan on Leonard four net and force Blade Bordles bordal Service to try to win the game. Will he be able to do it? I don't really think so. Okay, so I think that's part of it. On the other side of the ball, yeah,

I think Tom Brady is fine. Right. We know the Jags have the cash scratch feed run on the outside with a j. Bouyer and Jalen Ramsey, But the Patriots love using the middle of the field seam routes to Gronk both of these running backs, whether it's Dion Lewis, James White, Rex Burkhead, it doesn't matter. They love the running backs out of the backfield. I think all of those guys will be able to eat. I think Danny am and Dola in the slot will also be able

to eat. Remember he had something like ten catches four hundred and sixty yards or something in their last game. I think the middle of the field will be very important. I do believe there is a chance that Jalen Ramsey covers Rob Gronkowski. But if that's the case, you're still gonna hit up James White, You're still gonna hit up Dion Lewis, Danny Am and Dola, maybe Rex Birkehead as well. I think that's what's gonna happen. I would take the Patriots, and I want to say I think they cover the

point spread at home. I am worried a little bit about a back door cover from Jacksonville, but I like the Patriots to move on to the Super Bowl them winning this game twenty three to thirteen. On the NFC side, everybody's picking the Eagles. You know, I love the Eagles. I have been on the Eagles since before the season started, a long time ago. I told you about that. You know. I love taking the home dogs. The Philadelphia Eagles are getting three and a half points at home, but I'm

taking the Vikings. I'm taking the Minnesota Vikings. I think the Vikings defense is much better than Atlanta's defense. Philly was only able to put up fifteen points last week. I think they put up even less against this Minnesota defense. I think this is a good matchup for the wide receivers of Minnesota against the secondary of Philadelphia Adam Feeling Stefon Diggs. I also think it could line up well

for Jerick McKinnon coming out of the backfield. The Eagles have not defended the running back well out of the backfield, and I think Philly will struggle with this stout Minnesota Vikings defense. Remember I ranked them ahead of the Jaguars as the number one defense still left. I think the Minnesota Vikings are so close to being able to win, essence host the Super Bowl, and I don't think the

fairy tale continues for Nick Foles. I think the Eagles have a great, you know, defense, they had a great season. They're gonna have people wearing dog masks in the crowd, but I ultimately still think Minnesota advances to the Super Bowl. I like the Vikings to win this game. And I'll give you a twenty to ten final When we come back here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network on the finalist to win an award Fantasy Freestyle, We're gonna bring in our guy, Chris Ventra, and we're gonna talk DFS

to Championships. Sunday. It should boy. Jane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, the stable genius, and you're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dane Martinez holding

you down on a football Friday. I just made my official Super Bowl picks. Um begrudgingly. I'm picking the New England Patriots, although I would love to see Jacksonville do it. And I am picking the Minnesota Vikings. I believe the Vikings are sort of a team of destiny at this point. I mean, come on, they had that miracle play last week, They have the potential to host game and and people don't really realize the Minnesota Vikings lost their QB one

going into the season. That was Sam Bradford, lost there arby one going into the season. That was Dalvin Cook. And they are still now Latavius Murray Case Keenum, my boy, Stephen, can you digs it? Adam got A, then Kyle Rudolph the red Zone Reindeer. This may be like the team with the most nicknames, so it might as well get all the way to the big game and hosted. I

hear Justin timber Lake is doing the halftime show. My official picks of the Vikings over the Eagles twenty to ten and then New England Patriots over the Jacksonville Jaguars call it twenty three thirteen all but I would love to see Jacksonville do it. Remember I am still a little bit worried about Tom Brady, not only the hand. Remember he missed some time with an achilles or an ankle throughout the season as well. The Jacksonville Jaguars are

going to get pressure. They are going to hit Tom Brady. Remember what I've been talking about as it related to the protocol as well. Just something to put in your head when you're watching that a f C Championship game. They are gonna run Tom Brady out there no matter what. All right, you could try to you know, bet the lines. You can go on over to my Bookie dot a

g drop a couple of shekels. Maybe you like the pats to cover the spread, maybe you like the under in the NFC Championship Game, whatever the case may be. But the other way to win a little bit of cash like we do here in the Fantasy Freestyle is through to d f s. So what we're gonna do right now, I'm gonna bring in my boy, the analyst, Chris Ventra. You know him from you know, filling in for me a couple of weeks ago when I was

over on vacation doing his things. So Ventra, first of all, how does it feel to have been the guest host for a finalist for the best Radio show of the Year. It feels very surprising and amazing that I was part of the show, and um, you know, I had a great time. But they're always part of the show, bro, whether you were guests hosting or not, because you're always down there in the fantasy pit of misery monitoring the

chat room. What are the people saying in the chat room, by the way, because I'm hearing that they're they're excited to be part of the stats over beat Cipher and one of the finalists, the best radio show in the industry. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know they're talking about all that. I mean I haven't really had the chance to get on the chat much because honestly, we're doing something different. We got you on Twitch, we got you on all these different streaming sites, so I think it's being done a

little differently. Haven't at the chance to check the YouTube stream. But um, you know they you know the site for how they are. They're talking about Super Bowl enough, so let's get into a real quick venture. Let's get into our DFS lineups. Okay, I gotta tell you something. I think everybody's gonna go with Tom Brady this week, so I had to zig when other people zag. My quarterback is Lake Bortles this week. I'm gonna tell you why. I'm looking at this point spread right, so the Vegas

expects to pay. It's to be up big. That game flow means that they are going to be throwing the ball left and right in the third quarter. I think they're gonna have to abandon Leonard four Nett when the path to get up by two touchdowns. Okay, I think they're gonna try and force Blake Bortle to do it. I think there could be some garbage time production. Blake Bortles also has had the rushing yards, so I'm gonna

try and beat everybody who goes with Brady. I'm going with Blake Bortles as my quarterback at seventies six hundred on fan duel. Are you going with Brady or somewhere else? I'm going somewhere else? Actually, um, you're going Keenum? Huh? Are I actually have two lineups? Because I don't know? Give me the key. Um. Yeah, there's only very slight variations, Keenum. Why because I think that I can't I don't trust Bortles.

I can't trust him enough. I know he runs, which is good for fantasy, but I feel like New England's gonna have a plan to shut that down. I don't want to do Brady because Jacksonville d is a little too tough and his expense. Brady is the chalk anyway, Brady is the truck. So I went with Keenan because I think the Eagles, if they do have a weakness, it's uh, it's in the passing game, not in the

running game. So if they have trouble running, I think they have to allot on team shows and you've got two really good white receivers here with feeling and dig so I think he could get it done. I think you can have what it takes. I like that play a lot. I like the case Keenom play, and I'm I'm I'm with you on the angle that you're taking. I'm with you on that narrative. I just get shares

of it in a different way. Check this out. At my wide receiver position, I have Adam, I got a feeling at seventy hundred and Stephen, can you digs it? So I hear. I want Keenom to do his thing too, but I am having both of his top targets in my lineup and feeling at seventy hundred and digs at sixties seven hundred. I am also going you know, we talked to Minnesota Vikings all season long. It's been Latavius Murray or Jack McKinnon. Well, the Philadelphia Eagles are number

one in the NFL against the run. I do not think it will be fruitful for the Vikings to try to run Lottavius Murray inside. The Eagles were not good against pass catching backs out of the backfield. So not only do I have Adam Feeling. Not only do I have Stefon Diggs, but I also have Jerick McKinnon in my DFS lineup at sixty eight hundred. My other running back Chris is Um. I'm going with Dion Lewis. I'm going with Dion Lewis at hundred for the New England Patriots.

He had a great game last week against Tennessee and he didn't get in the end zone. He got vultured. James White had two touchdowns, Brandon Bolden had a touchdown. I think um Lewis can have some of the same production, and I think there's a chance he gets into the end zone this time. So let me finish it off. In my running backs, I got Lewis and McKinnon, and my wide outs, I got feeling. I got Diggs and my third wide receiver. Remember I am afraid of catch

scratch fever on the outside. I think Booya and Ramsey are incredible tandem. I think they are the best tandem in the National Football League. So I'm looking inside for the Patriots to do damage. So I think it's the running back, Dion Lewis and my third wide receiver at sixty hundred. I'm going with Danny Ammon Dola. You know his mom, Chris, she makes the best meatballs. Okay, So I'm going Danny Ammon Dola as my third wide receiver.

Where are you going at the running back position, Chris, So I'm gonna I like McKinnon, I feel like that's with a lot of people are gonna go. So I'm gonna zig when other people's zig, Like you say, I'm gonna actually boilt my line. Fournette, that's my ace, understand down. I went Blake Bortles, so I wasn't gonna double it up with Leonard Fournette. My only problem with four Neette I'm worried that he is going to be the focus of the Patriots defense. And I'm also worried about that ankle.

There have been numerous games where four Nette starts, but he gets banged up and miss his time. But you trust four Nett in this one. Yeah. And also because he's a truck and I think because he's expensive and is the truck, people are gonna straight away from there. Worried about New England focusing. Like you said, I think he still gets a touchdown and you know that might payoff in the end. All right, so you got Fournett,

who else you got? And then um between. On the two lineups, one I have Legarrett Blunt and one I have Latavious Murray. That BT. I like the L G B E T rights right there. Le Garret Blunt at a cheap price. All he's gotta do is get in the end zone. He did it for the Eagles last week. Maybe he does it again. I'm not mad at that. What about wide receiver? Chris while receiver? So basically in both lineups, I have Stefon Diggs. That's my ace because I feel like they're just gonna key on Dealing also

killing at a little banged up. He's feelings questionable with that lower back injury. They're gonna shoot him up though with some pain killers, he's gonna be out there. Yeah, No, I know he's gonna be at there. That's why in one lineup I have Dealing. In the other lineup, I have Chris Hogan because I think, like you said, I know I'm gonna at thirteen targets eleven catches last week he went off, but you know nothing was on Hogan. He had a touchdown. That was about it. One catch

for four yards. It was. However, a touchdown, You're not worried that a Jo or Jalen Ramsey will be out? Well, I think that, I honestly think that Jack is gonna switch it up and really try to confuse uh Belichick, which is hard to do. Yeah, I mean, confusing Brady and Belichick is not gonna necessarily be a winning strategy. But right so, I think because they do that, I think they all gonna try to hold down with Booye or whoever they might use a little bit. And I

think Hogan people are gonna sleep on him. I also think he's gonna be low percentage owned, so even if he gives me, you know, twelve points, that might be enough. Um. And then I got in boat lineups. Healing Cole is my third wife, Receus Healing Cole, tell me more about that. Why are you going Keenan Cole? So? First of all, because he was the best price. He was my last like my last position that I filled out in my lineup, and he was the best option was between him and

Deed Westbrook. Helling Cole is a little more expensive, and he filled out the lineup. Um. And I think that you know, Patriots can give up a ton of yardage and this is a guy that can hit home runs. So I like that play. Uh And then at tight end, Gronkowski on Bolth gotta go with the chalk there, I think, Yeah, I think you gotta go with Gronk as well. He's in my lineup. He's the tight end in my lineup. I am going Rob Gronkowski. What do you think? How

do you think the Jags try to defend this. There's been a lot of talk this week about maybe Jalen Ramsey coming out of the cornerback position to actually take Gronk, especially on critical downs maybe third and long or in the red zone. What do you think about Ramsey on Gronk. I think that's a good idea. I just don't think they should you that all the time. Like I said, if I wow the Jaguars defense coordinator, I could try to confuse them at least switch it up. Put guys

all over the place. Don't focus on one guy, because you could also put I think Kelvin Smith, the linebacker. He's very fast, athletic, he could cover. You could put him on Gronkowski a little bit too, and do like more of a bend. But don't break defense and try to contain these guys. I mean, I don't know. I think Gronk is still gonna get his and still be the chalk and play out. Absolutely, I agree with you.

I have Rob Gronkowski in my lineup as well. I do think they might put Jalen Ramsey on him for a little bit. That young Buck has been talking a lot, chirping a lot, getting in people's heads. I wonder if he could do the same with Rob Gronkowski. And then I gotta tell you something, venture I'm taking the like cheapest defense out there. I'm taking the Jags. I'm taking the Jags because I don't know about the point total

and stuff. What I do know in DFS, what you gotta pay for is the consistency of sacks and turnovers, and Saxonville is just that. Okay. They have had multiple games of ten plus sacks this year. We know Tom Brady is not the most mobile quarterback. We know that offenside of line has given up some pressure. I think their plan is to try to pressure Brady, especially if he's banged up. I think they do get to Brady a couple of times, and they're the cheapest defense out there,

So give me the Jags. I like that play, and you're right. I mean, listen, if there's one way to get the Brady, the Giants have shown it, it was with pressure. So and even last week when they gave up forty two points, they still had a couple of deceptions a touchdown. They still ended up with, you know, some points, eight points on FanDuel actually, but forty two

is a lot. You can't hope for that. But I actually paid up for the Vikings because I really think what Nick Foles there and they're running game is kind of like a slow tandem. Both a Giant and um Blunt aren't really these guys that are gonna hit home runs against you. So I feel like the Vikings are gonna really like bear this offense down. I don't think

the Eagles gonna do much of anything. So there you have in my DFS lineup one more time on Blake Bortles at quarterback, Dion Lewis and Jared McKinnon at the running back position, Feeling Digs and Danny Ammon Dola and wide out Gronk is my tight end, and I'm going with the Jacksonville Jaguars defense where we come back the Fantasy Freestyle. We see who you at spinning speeds on the pole like to be the super Bowl matchup. We

know where I'm going. I'll tell you what Florial venture and these kids say as well, Fantasy freestyle, Fantasy Freestyle. My good old friend, Jilly Dillia, I was so happy to hear that your finalist. How do we make it so you win that radio show of the year because you deserve it? Well, thank you so much, Jill, I really appreciate it.

over beat Cipher that you really enjoy the show. Yeah, you do. Great is the same at four o'clock specific time. Without your show, it's great three days from seven to eight p m. E.

We'll see what happens on mondayent of you going Jaguars Vikings, So that means I'm gonna do a little quick math right here. That means seventent of you think that the Minnesota Vikings will in fact host the Super Bowl. Fourteen percent of you go in Pats Eagles, and then seven point seven percent

bringing up the rear with Jags Eagles. But that's what Zoe picked, That's what MICHAELA, who apparently is six years old picked as well. Remember Sammy, who's new to ours contest this year but was in it last year, picked Patriots and the Eagles. He's with fourteen percent of the population. I gotta tell you what though, our guy, our boy, Chris Venture the Analyst, he had Patriots Vikings at the

beginning of the season. I saw the clip. Everybody, Okay, Chris Venture's Super Bowl prediction before the season started was the Minnesota Vikings against the New England Patriots. So if that does in fact come true, we gotta say dilly dilly to our boy, Chris the Analyst Venture. The last thing I want to do here before we go off the air, Hey Bavona, are you there for me? Man.

I want to also, I want to give you a big, big shout out, okay, because Fantasy Freestyle, not Fantasy Freestyle, would never be what it is without the manimal Chris Bavona. Every day he drops the bomb on it. Every day he's cut up things for commercials and stuff. Every day he's considering the intros and the outstros to make us bob our heads because we are here on the stats over beat cipher. You know, every day he continues to
