The number to call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I'll let you know when we open up the phone lines a little bit later on. We got a good show for you on a Wednesday. Listen, the Pro Bowl lineups came out. Okay, So as always we talk about the Pro Bowl and when we do that, we usually

talk about the snubs as well. And that's the poll question that I put up for you on Twitter. You could always follow me at Spitting Speeds. We got the poll question up is which quarterback that was not named to the Pro Bowl should in fact be playing in the game. Who do you think had the most Pro Bowl esque kind of season out of these snubs at quarterback? What about Alex Smith, who people were talking about as

an m VP candidate. Is it Jared Goff, Is it case Keenum who has been doing it for the Minnesota Vikings, or Maddie Stafford, one of the guys I was telling you about at the beginning of the season, which was the reason you could have waited on quarterback. We're gonna preview the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys game. I think that game is very interesting, obviously the return of Ezekiel Elliott.

But also listen, I think there's some early warning signs that the Legion of Boom, the Seattle Seahawks and that defense the window maybe closing. I will let you know what I'm talking about a little bit later on. And also listen, we just had the last night of Hanuka. It was the eight Crazy Nights. I did the prayers.

I was very excited about all that. But I gotta tell you something, and I hate to sound like I'm complaining about this because I am in my fantasy championship, but I gotta tell you the fact that Christmas is on a Monday and Christmas Eve is on a Sunday, and they're doing the Saturday games and no Thursday games, that is really kind of cramping my style. This weekend, I will explain exactly what I mean, and like I said,

we will take your calls and questions. Okay, if you're calling in with the stats over beat cipher, you still a contender to win your league and win that cash. So you know, Speeds, the spitting statistician is going to hook you up. We talk Pro Bowl, we talk news and notes. Because Wednesday is the first get day, UM teams have to do injury reports. There's some interesting injuries or at least baselines to report there on the first practice day of the week, so we'll get into that

as well. Come on right back. We're often running right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back. We got a lot to cover for you to win a championship. Let's go. Hello, boys and girls, It's Santa and I'm about this real as your chances are the title. If you don't have the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I have twenty four hour operation of and was making toys, and you should have a twenty four hour network of experts

working for you opera. The need this news, advice, analysis and cheerful and joyful entertainment. Oh you gotta have the Fantasy Sports Radio Network on your phone for a couple of device. Merry Christmas, Hey, welcome back right in the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network,

Speeds and Spitting Statistician. It is a hump day show on a Wednesday, as we get ready for people to try and win their fans see football championships, including your boys, Speeds, the Spitting Status this and we are getting it going trying to win our leagues and win that cash. We're gonna open up the phone lines a little bit later on in the show. I'll let you know when we do. The number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. But we gotta start with

the news and notes from around the NFL. Remember, Wednesday is the first day team's issue practice reports injury reports, so it kind of sets the baseline to see if your players are gonna be good to go for Week six. Team First, we start O. J. Howard was sent to i R because of an ankle injury. Remember I told you he was in a walking boot after the Monday night football game. He has been sent to i R. I gotta tell you something though, short term and long term.

In the short term, I really like Cameron Bred this week. Then, okay, as the only tight end you know, he's a red zone target for Jamis Winston in their game against the Carolina Panthers long term though, and he now getting sent to i R. If you're in a dynasty league, go out and get O. J. Hollard if he is available. Why because make America break again. Cameron Braid is a free agent in the off season. I think they drafted O. J. Howard this year because they're gonna move on from Cameron Braid.

I don't think they run two tight ends next year in Tampa Bay. It also sounds like the Jets and Sheldon Richardson maybe considering a reunion in the off season. It looks like it's going bad with Mohammed Wilkerson and the Jets, so maybe they're gonna try and get Sheldon Richardson back. Remember he's his contract is up at the end of this year as well. And we have some kicker news. I very rarely talk about kickers, but listen, this is a kicker that could be on a championship team.

So I gotta let you know real quick that Legatron Greg'serlin has been sent to i R. Okay, so you gotta get a different kicker this week. He was also a Pro bowler. Rememb'm gonna tell you about the Pro Bowlers a little bit later on in the show, not practicing today. These are guys we're gonna have to monitor all week long because sometimes these guys they're just monitor managing their reps throughout the week, especially veterans. But Julio Jones did not practice, and I remember he's got ankles.

He's always got ankle and foot and leg issues. They're saying they're just managing his reps. He will play for the Atlanta Falcons. Remember they got a big time match up against the Saints in the NFC South. Kelvin Benjamin did not practice today, also a knee injury. They're probably just managing his reps. They're up there in Buffalo. Davante Adams still not practicing either, still in the concussion protocol. Duke Johnson was limited in practice with a shoulder injury

that's been nagging him. He should be good to go and play for the Browns. If the Browns don't win this week, it looks like they could go oh in sixteen. They finish Week seventeen at the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it looks like Pittsburgh's gonna need that game either for a one seed or for a by for something, So the Brown is better do something this week. They are in Chicago, I do believe, so maybe they got a chance. They would have a better chance if Duke Johnson is good

to go. Joe Mixon is back practicing, but he's still in the concussion protocol. Sounds like he probably just has one more hurdle to clear and he'll probably clear it and be okay. That would downgrade Giovanni Bernard because he has been the only guy the last couple of weeks. That will not be the case if Joe Mixon makes it back. Leonard four Nette is back practicing for the Jaguars. Remember he had a quad injury, missed that game. He's back practicing, so that trends like he will be in

fact be back. But also listen, Alan Hearns back to practice. He had one of those ankle injuries, okay in the last couple of weeks, and I said this, um, you know, and yesterday show when I did the waiver wire adds when we were talking about healing Cole, I said, my problem with Keelan Cole was if Alan Hearns comes back, because Valen Herns comes back, you then have Herns and d D Westbrook and Cole then is the number three option? Especially Leonard Ford Net might be back for these Jaguars

as well. Everybody loved Helan Cole. I don't think Helan Cole. It's startable. If Alan Hearns is on the field and d Westbrook is on the field and Leonard Fournett is on the field, how many Jags do you think and eat in this matchup against the forty nine? I would draw the line above Keelan Cole. I do, however, love Blake Bortles. I'm telling you people are going to win their fantasy lead and their championships and that cash on

Blake border service. If you can believe it. With guys like Case Can, with guys like Nick Foles, you're gonna win your fantasy championship. I cannot believe it. All right. I wanted to talk about um what I think is the beginning of the end for the Seattle Seahawks. When teams, especially teams that have long storied histories of being contended, as the Seahawks have now been a contender for what the last four or five years, They've been literally the

best team in the NFC. Two Super Bowl appearances, one Super Bowl victory. In the last what five years, let's say they've been a perennial NFC contender largely based on that defense. However, that defense they're starting to be I think fissures fractures in that defense. Um. I don't know if you saw this, but on social media, Bobby Wagner and Earl Thomas, we're going back and forth at each other.

I guess you know. Wagner was injured, right, but he made it out and played in that game anyway against the Rams last week, but the Rams demolished him I think seven. And Wagner, yo, he was he wasn't covering as well, right, and um. Earl Thomas said something about it on Twitter. He said that the backups would have done just as good, that Wagner couldn't cover ground, and that he waited too long to take himself out, that

he hurt the team. Then Bobby Wagner in response on Twitter says he needs to keep his name out of his mouth that have since deleted the tweets. Pete Carroll said that listen, Bobby Wagner played like a warrior, that this is what he's supposed to do. He takes Bobby Wagner. Over most people, that's the right things to say. But this is something Listen, we've talked about how the Seattle Seahawks they yell at each other, they get fired up on the sidelines there at the front of like social

issues as well. But these are good dudes, Earl Thomas Bobby Wagner, and they're going after each other like that. I think this is an issue. I think this is what happens, you know, kind of like the fall of Rome. You know, you start pointing fingers at each other. This is not something I seen from the Seattle Seahawks before, and I to be honest, I think it is in fact an indicator that the it is the end of the road for the Seattle Seahawks. I think Russell Wilson

is the m v P of the league. But that's only the case if the Seattle Seahawks make the playoffs and if their defense is starting to point fingers at each other air grievances. You know, we've we finished Hanakah, but it's still festivous season, right so the airing of grievances is still valid. And if these guys the Seahawks are airing grievances is. I think it's an issue. I think there are cracks. And if they don't make the playoffs this year, and they're they're in danger of missing

the playoffs. If they don't make the playoffs, I think the end has come to the Seattle Seahawks run because they're not gonna be able to keep everybody anyway. In this game though they traveled to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. The Cowboys are five point favorites against the Seahawks. And remember Zeke is back. Okay, So if you held on too Zeke, or acquired Zeke or picked up Zeke for Week sixteen and your fantasy championship, I think you

are a lucky, lucky man or woman. Did you see what Todd Gurley did to these Seattle Seahawks in this defense last week? If Bobby Wagner is not now, you get a well rested Zeke. I've been saying on this show for a long time that they don't actually want they being the Cowboys. They don't actually want Dak Prescott to win games on his arm. They want to run the ball times, they want to control time of possession.

They want to grind team so that it's painful for them to try to tackle Zeke in the fourth quarter. I think with a rested Zeke in a plus match up against the run, I could see Zeke getting twenty five plus carries in his return against the Seattle Seahawks. And if you have him and made your championship, the stars are aligning for you in this game. Russell Wilson is gonna make the plays that Russell Wilson makes, okay,

and that's gonna be a lot of them. So my diamond in the rough, it's not even that much, but it Zeke. He's gonna get his character carries. My fool gazes in this game are all of the wide receivers. I think Dez you know, doesn't do it because the offense focuses on Zeke and they run it out and I think they're up and can run with Zeke. I think DEAs doesn't get as many opportunities. And listen des last week to two catches fifty nine yards, you know, like I can see him in line for another like

three seven kind of games. So he's one of my fool gazes. I think Jimmy Graham is also a fool gayzey this game because Sean Lee diagnosis plays like nobody's business. And Jimmy Graham last week in your semifinals potentially had one catch for negative one yards. I think he's a fool gaze with Lee patrolling the field. And also Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldwin last week one for six. He has not

been doing it in his last couple of games. It's almost like Doug Baldwin has downgraded himself from a true wide out one and a target monster just to being one of the herd. It's like Seattle is m v P Russell Wilson and the rest is another fantasy herd. Is it Graham, is it Baldwin? Is it Lockett? Is it Richardson? Who's that running back? You never know? It's a herd? And so that means I'm downgrading Doug Baldwin in this game. He is my gazey, the guy to

forget about. He is not a wide receiver one the way we thought. It's like that old Denny Green quote. Uh bevona if we can get that. When the old Denny Green day are who we thought they were. Doug Baldwin is not who we thought he was. He is merely part of the herd. All right when we come back, that's right. If you want to crown, that's right. But they are who we thought they were, and we absolutely that's why my man, Chris Bavona is the manumal the

best in the business out there. I asked back, we're gonna do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna take a look at the Pro Bowl rosters. Okay, because the Pro Bowl, uh, you know, rosters came out yesterday. And I gotta tell you something, guys we have been talking about all season long are all over the Pro Bowl rosters. It's almost like stats over beat Cipher. We're in the room picking the Pro Bowl rosters. There are so many places where the Fantasy Freestyles fingerprints are all over this.

We're gonna talk about that and we'll talk about who got snubbed as well when we come back. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network with speeds and spitting statistician. Let's go Hunter, Henry Stirring Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump. They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app F and

T S y or Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven the best Fantasy Sports on ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Baby Baby boo boo boo Baby Baby Baby boo boo boo Baby, get a bonus. Hey, I'm pushing it. I'm pushing it real good. You know what it is. It's a fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You've got speeds and spitting statistician. I'm in a good mood on a Wednesday, only two

shopping days left. I'm in the holiday spirit, as you know, if I've been in the Hanakah spirit for the last couple of weeks. We talked about a little Festivus. We got the Festivus pull over there. Any kind of feats of strength or airing of grievances. If you want to air any grievances, you can holler at me in our next segment at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. If you want to come on over into Studio thirty four and perform a feat of strength,

I'd be down for that as well, all right. The NFL released a O Bowl rosters. I had a chance to look at them, and I gotta tell you something, Stats over Beats is all over this. Can we can we just first start by the cat Scratch Fever. Both A. J. Bouyer and jail and Ramsey have been named to the Pro Bowl. So when I tell you, guys, all all season we were early with it all season long. In my team by team previews, I was talking about this combo being the best cornerback tandem in the game ahead

of the Denver Broncos. Go check the tape, okay, and we were talking about the cat Scratch Fever, how they were taking a way wide receivers that if you're playing Jacksonville, you need to downgrade the wide receivers. We've been talking about this all season long. Congrats. We tip our hat here at the Fantasy Freestyle Stats over Beat cipher. Both A. J. Bouyer and Jalen Ramsey are Pro Bowl starters for the a f C. Also, I want to give it a shout out to our guys. So fresh and so clean.

So the cat scratch Fever did its thing, so fresh and so clean. I've told you about mark ingram and Alvin Kamara, both of them made the Pro Bowl in the NFC. They are two of the three running backs. Um, you know, Kyle Ustak is a fullback. They are two of the three running backs in the NFC, Alvin Kamara and Mark ingram Um. Kamara is a b you know, Alvin Simon and Theodore Kamara. The other running back in the NFC at least to start right now is Todd

the Girleman. So obviously that's interesting. Also, I want to make a point about the wide receivers. Our guy, Adam got a Theeling. Congrats. We tip our cap to Adam Feeling. He deserves it. Come breaking out wide receiver, breakout wide receiver in my opinion of two thousand seventeen, uh gets honored with a Pro Bowl nod. So we gotta like that, right, But check this out. Check out some of these wide receivers, Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins. There's some other ones, but I

want to focus on Fitzgerald and Hopkins. Both of these guys with blunt, guts, trash quarterback play. Okay, both of these teams, the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans, are literally gone to their third string quarterbacks in t j Yates in Stanton or Gabbert, and they are putting up Pro Bowl seasons. Imagine what they would do if they had good quarterbacks. But the other point I want to make about this, remember my theory and Bovona down there

in the fantasy put a misery knows about this. My theory about the fantasy heard. These guys are not part of fantasy herds. These guys are target monsters. That is what gets you in the Pro Bowl. Not too many fantasy heard wide receivers are in the Pro Bowl. Let's look at these Pro Bowl rosters. Okay, at wide receiver. At wide receiver in the NFC, you got theeling not heard, you got Michael Thomas. Well that's the only exception, and Fitzgerald Julio Jones is a standout as well. At wide receiving.

The a f C A J. Green not a herd. Keenan Allen. I actually made the point that the Chargers were moving away from a herd because of Keenan Allen and of course Antonio Brown maybe you know him, and Leve Bell behind that. Now, without Antonio Brown, they kind of become a herd. So I thought that was interesting as it related to the wide receivers that I was talking about. Your guys like d hop End fits especially with bad quarterback like third stringers. Big shout out to

them making the Pro Bowl. I also want to talk about the offensive line. You know, offensive line has been something I've been mentioning for a long time. Hello, we got people out here at Studio thirty four Rock and Riley's waving here. They are in the Holiday spirit um offensive line. I've been saying these teams that are regressing

that having bad offensive lines. We've talked about the Colts offensive line, the Giants offensive line, the Washington offensive line, the Indie offensive line, that since the offensive line, the Denver offensive line. These are all offensive lines that I targeted. I said this after week one. I said it after week two. I said this was a big theme. Look at the teams that have multiple offensive lineman. Though the Cowboys still um have three offensive linemen. They were known

as one of the better offensive lines in football. But the Philadelphia Eagles two starters on the offensive line. That's not counting one of my biggest Pro Bowls clubs, Jason Kelsey at center. And remember they lost their left tackle, Jason Peters, a Pro Bowl All Pro left tackle. The Eagles with four potential Pro bowlers on the offensive line. The Raiders have three offensive lineman, pen no similar and

their center, and the Steelers have three offensive lineman. These are playoff contending teams, teams that can protect their quarterbacks and run the ball. I think that's very interesting. The other thing I want to talk about is the other cornerbacks. We talked about cat scratch fever in Jacksonville, but listen, big shout out. We tip our cap to these other Pro Bowl cornerbacks because these were guys we were fading

wide receivers against all season long. I told you that these were elite corners and the NFL has recognized their play by a Pro Bowl. Not okay, check this out, Patrick Peterson. We were downgraded the number one the number one wide out against the Cardinals and Peterson all season long, and we were saying the other wide outs, though, would eat Xavier Bumpy Roads. I was on him years ago.

We tip our cap here on the Fantasy Freestyle to Xavier Roads and we've been fading receivers against the Vikings and eat Xavier Rhodes all season long. The rookie Marshawn Lattimore for the New Orleans Saints gets a Pro Bowl nod. We have been fading wide receivers against Marshaw and Lattimore all season long here on stats over beats. That's what

I've been telling you. That's why speeds and spitting statistician has been helping you when your leadst because we even know which wide receivers to fade against Pro Bowl corners. We know which offensive lineman we know to go with target monsters, not the fantasy herd wide receivers. Our guy, big play Darius Slay gets a Pro Bowl nod. Hello, people waving here at Studio thirty four. Our guy Casey

Hayward in Los Angeles with the Chargers. I've been talking about this Chargers defense with Casey Hayward in the back, and a Pro Bowl nod goes to our other guy rushing the passer, Joey Boatsa gets into the Pro Bowl as well. I gotta say this, though we talked about the snubs and whatnot, but all these guys are getting in anyway. There was something like a hundred and thirty players.

Because check this out, players that are injured right away, Like look at the quarterbacks I have a poll question up right, and I say, Alex Smith, Case, Keenum, Jared Goff or Matt Stafford. Which quarterback? But right away, look there's six quarterbacks. Carson Wentz is one of them. He's injured. Will not play? Two of the three quarterbacks in the a f C or Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. I think the smart money is that one of them will be representing the a f C in the Super Bowl.

Will not play? Okay, you got guys like Russell Wilson and Drew Brees, the viable in the NFC that might not play because they represent their team. You got a grizzled veteran like Philip Rivers. Maybe he's named to the Pro Bowl, but will he make the trip to Orlando? Remember it's Orlando, not Honolulu, right, So these guys, I'm telling you Matt Stafford, who's only at nine on this poll right now with over three hundred votes. Everybody, go on right now over to um at spitting speeds on Twitter.

We got over three hundred votes in the last hour on this poll. I think Matt Stafford will ultimately be in the game because so many other people will either opt out, be hurt or be representing the NFC in the Super Bowl. Right And here's the thing, it's not even it's not Honolulu anymore. You see in your cool thing, it's in Orlando right now. That's not like something that's an honor. You know. I've always said this should be like um next generation game. You know, guys that are

only like twenty six years of age or under. But right now, check this out. Thirty eight percent of you think case Keenum is the biggest quarterback snub, followed closely by Jared Goff at thirty seven percent, Alex Smith at seventeen percent, and then Matt Stafford at eight percent. Those are guys that you really want in the Pro Bowl at quarterback. I also think listen more Eagles Brandon Graham did not get in. I think he had nine and a half sacks. He pushes the pocket like whoa for

the Philadelphia Eagles. But here's the thing. The Eagles are kind of hoping that he's not in the Pro role because they're representing the NFC in the Super Bowl. That's what I really think it comes down to. So there you have it, a little bit of look at the Pro Bowl. If you've got people that you think need to be in the Pro Bowl. You can holler at me, respond to the poll on Twitter at Spitting Speeds, hit me up at eight four four eight four three six

eight seven nine. That's what we're gonna do right now. We are going to open up the phone lines right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. So if you have your six start questions, if you have uh, you know, guys on the waiver wire that you still want to get, I'm telling you, Blake Bordles is gonna win people fantasy championships this week. Case Keenum is gonna win people fantasy championships this week. Nick Foles is gonna win people fantasy

championships this week. I never thought I would have said said it, but you know, D. D. Westbrook is gonna win people fantasy championships this week. People that were like on available for pick up. Greg Olsen now that he's back, is going to win people fantasy championships this weekend. I'm gonna help you with your specific, specific context and situation win a fantasy championship this week. The number two call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.

That's what we're gonna do, all right, And also check this out. I'm gonna be giving out a DFS line up on Friday, and uh, there's only one week left. With our collaboration of d k MS as well, okay, the Fantasy Sports Network. In d k MS, we've been helping the fight against blood cancer, registering people to maybe

be a blood donor a bone marrow donor. And there's only one week left in that free row where if you win, you go to the finals next week, week seventeen, and if you win that you get tickets for two to the big game up there in Minnesota, with Justin timber Lake doing the halftime show. When we come back. What we're gonna do is we're gonna open up the phone lines. The cipher is real, So the number to call right now if you want to get down is eight four four A four three six eight seven nine.

We're also gonna talk about how I'm a little ticked off about how you know Christmas and Christmas Eve fall on a Sunday and a Monday, and what that means if you're in your Fantasy Championship and you gotta you know, deck the halls and oh the grandmother's house, we go, what does that mean for you and your football watching, your stat tracker watching. I know it's gonna be a little bit of a problem for me based on my travel this weekend because listen, I gotta go see the fan.

I'm driving around, but I'm also in my fantasy championship. I'll tell you how it breaks down for me, and when I'm whole, I'm ticked off about it. If you want to know the truth. And then we will go to the phone lines and go to the Stats over Beat cipher and see if anybody out there still needs their questions answered to win their leagues and win that cash. It's your boy, Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician right here on the Fantasy Freestyle and the award winning Fantasy

Welcome back to the fantasy freestop Here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dane Martinez pieds the spitting statustician. Getting you ready, We're gonna go to the

phone lines in a hot sec in. The phone lines are blazing hot right now, so hot that we sweat steam. But first I want to tell you something. Listen. So there's no Thursday games anymore, right, No more Thursday games this week, which would be good. You know, I see a game, get to dip my toe into the week. Maybe I got some players going, Maybe I get a

little lead. That's nice. No Thursday games. There's two games on Saturday, one in the four o'clock for thirty kind of slot, one in the sudden like the Thursday night slot, the Saturday eight a thirty kind of slot. Here's the thing, though, I gotta go out. I gotta go out to long Island to see family, and then I gotta go see uh some friends, you know, doing like a friend's Christmas on on Saturday. And I got three of my players going in these games. Okay, I got the Baltimore defense,

I got Justin Tucker as my kicker. I got Stefan Digs who might be going. I'm not gonna be able to see three of my guys going because I'm gonna be driving around from Long Island of Brooklyn back home. And what am I gonna do? Am I gonna be that guy? Am I gonna be that guy that's chechecking my phone every two minutes because I'm in my you know? So that's messed up. Then then Sunday, they got twelve games like normal on Sunday. Nine of them are in

the one o'clock window. Right, and check this out of my championship matchup, I only have two players going in all of the games on Sunday in my twelve in my ten guys. Right in my matchup, I got three going in the games on Saturday. I got only two going on Sunday. Meanwhile, my opponent has nine, okay, so he's gonna get out to a huge lead on me.

When I'm worried on Christmas Eve, like seeing my god kids and whatnot, I'm gonna be worried about is this my opponent underperforming because he's got nine guys going, it's gonna take a huge lead on me. Then on Christmas Day, there's two games, right, but it's back to the late schedule. The four o'clock for thirty game and then a Sunday Sunday night game, a Monday night game. I've got five

players going on Monday on Christmas Day. In that first game Pittsburgh Houston, I've got DeAndre Hopkins and Left Bell and Big Ben. Then Sunday night, I got zach Ertz going May put in beast mode as well. So I need to come back and win my championship. Literally, while I'm eating Christmas dinner in my family's house, I'm gonna like not be paying attention to kids, unwrapping presents, staring at stat Tracker instead. I love it, but do I gotta be that guy as well? It really ticks me off,

and my matchup is gonna go that. I take a lead on Saturday, my opponent punches me back on Sunday Christmas Eve, and then I gotta punch back while chest notes are rusting, will are roasting on an open fire. When I'm driving around unwrapping presents and seeing my family, I gotta be staring at this to see if you know lev Bell and zach Ertz and d Up deliver for me. I just wish, you know, like I had to go around, and I just wish it was a different timing. That's all. That's all. Let's see if the

stats overbeat. Cipher agrees with me, because I got people lit up to talk to me. And these are people who probably are in the championship and may have these too, have these holiday travels as well, so I want to hear from you. We start off in Boston with Dennis. Hey, Dennis, are you in your championship and you have to worry about this too? You're traveling around, it's Christmas, even's Christmas Day, and your players are playing in your championship. How do

you feel about this? Dennis? How can I help you? Man? Yeah, I get it, this damag ship thanks to your help all season speeds. I appreciate it. No, yeah, I'm not liking it. On Christmas, I'm saying we're gonna have to be traveling. You know what I mean, we're gonna be traveling. Maybe you've got zach Ertz or something. Maybe you've got Nelson Aghal or you want to start and you're gonna be you know, you're gonna be driving around. Maybe you've got a zach Ertz. Maybe you got a Michael Crabtree,

you know, and you're gonna be rapping. I understand, But let's help you when your leagues. So regardless of what happened, you like what you see on your stat tracker? How can I help you? Dennis? He speeds Like I said, thank you proping me out with my bad run back to situation off season I have. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about that. So my question is receiver. I mean, four out of the six is it PPR standard? I'm sorry? Yeah, four point PPR Mike Evans, Gerald Hill and Robert Woods.

Uh and how many do you need? You need four of them? Okay? Um, So here's the thing. I don't know if Keenan Allen is gonna play this week. Um, you know with that back injury that's says he's sustained, so that could make it easier for you. Okay, Keenan Allen might be compromised. I think he's a legitimate questionable. Okay, he's they're talking a good game, but he's a legitimate questionable in my book. Um, Robert Woods, Um, you know

I like him in his return. He's definitely the number one option there, but he's part of a fantasy herd. The same cannot be said for Larry Fitzgerald. The same cannot be said. I think Mike Evans had a good game. You may want to ride that train and Tyree killed. You know, he's the He's so Tyree killers the boom or bust one. Okay, Dennis. If you're projected to win, maybe you go conservative if you're projected and go with

a guy like uh, Robert Woods. But if you're projected to be down and you need a big you know, boom or bus play, then it's Tyreek Hill. Um. I'm a little bit down on Cooks as well. So I think Fits is in there. I think Evans is in there for you. I like Keenan Allen if he's healthy, Um, but if he's not, then it's Hill and Woods. Okay, Evan fits Hill and Woods. That's the way I go. Hope it works out for you. Dennis up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Ohio and we talked

to Jimmy. It sounds like Jimmy's in his Fantasy championship. Jimmy, I hope you get to see your players in action throughout the holiday season. I hope that doesn't piss you off like it pisses me off. What's going on, Jimmy? How can I help YEA? Well? Of course, sent most of my opponent They're all that's pretty much one o'clock games on Sunday, right, and that makes sense. That's when

my opponent has nine of his guys going. I got five of my guys on the two sons and the two Monday games on Christmas Day, Yeah, I got I got Big Ben and uh a Ji going right now? So on, I got Ben lev Bell, DeAndre Hopkins, and Zach Ertz. But go ahead. How can I help you? It's not about me, it's about you, Jimmy. How can we help well? I got a wide receiver issue. Um, right now, I have Keenan Allen kind of the question, Mark, Uh, Devin,

Devin Funchis, and Landry. It's a PPR league, um, and I just picked up cop to put in my play like that. Um, I'm kind of worried about Funchs though, because um of last last week and then also the first game against Tampa Bay and you got banged up a little bit. Ye. And to be honest, the other thing that bothers me, Jimmy, is that it looks like Greg Olsen is back in the saddle too. As my opponent, my oppotent unfortunately just picked him up. I tried to

block him and he had a higher priority. No, I would be worried about this. I think I think Olson and McCaffrey are the targets been new and I I'm a little bit down on Funis myself, so I like Cobb in place of him, to be quite honest, Yeah, well I have him in my flex right now. My other options to replace one of them would be, uh, I have I have a d D on my bench and then I have I could pick up Martavis Bryant or keep I like Martevis Briant over funcious. I like

Martevis Brian over Funcious. Um, I would keep Cobb in there and I would take Martevis Bryant with no Antonio Brown and the Houston Texans given up big plays. That's what they do, and Brian is gonna be the big play guy. Yeah. I would do Brian in there for funcious. I hope it works out for you. Jimmy. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle in California, we go to Kyle. Kyle, what's up? Man? How can I help you out? I don't know if you're as tweaked about this schedule, this

holiday schedule as I am. But what's good? How can we help you? Coyle? Yeah? I have two quick questions. I have to play two out of the three running backs. Is Dion Lewis, McKinnon, in Collins and Alex Collins. Um is a PPR standard half point PPR because it is half point PPR. I like McKinnon. Um Louis scares me. I think, all of a sudden, now that Red Burke it is out, I think we're gonna see like James White, Mike Gilliesley getting an opportunity against too crowded in New England.

So I would go McKinnon and Collins for the running backs. What else you got Kyle? And I'm also scared to play bunches today I play D D. Westbrook day. Would I would I think Dede Westbrook is actually gonna be the number one receiver. I think for Jacksonville it goes Westbrook, then Herns, then Cole. So I'm completely comfortable with that. Kyle up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Ohio. Back to Ohio and we talked to Danny. Danny, what's

going on? You're on the stats over beat Cipher talking to Speeds. How can we help you win a championship? A speed? First off date? Thank you and happy holiday so you're well, you're rough travels that you're gonna have to do. Happy Holidays to you as well. It'll be all worth it. And if I look out at the end of Monday night, I'll probably be home by the

time Monday night football is over. And if uh, if I got you know, tenth of a point more than my opponent, more than that, because I don't want to have a stack correction lose me my championship, but it'll all, you know, it all end. Well, what's up with you? Danny? All right? Man? Well, I got two questions for you. Um, I got a quarterback question. First, big Ben or big Ben or Stafford. I go big Ben, I go big Ben. I think listen. Uh, even without Antonio Brown, there's still options.

They're still Juju, They're still Bryant, They're still the tight ends. There's still left Bell and the Houston Texans give it up. I'm riding Big Ben in the championship. What's your other question? All right? Man? And as I told you before earlier in the week, I lost Antonio Brown, so uh like I went to the wavele Wire picked up Bryant, So Bryant, I need two of these. I'm sorry to these ppr uh bigs. Bryant Westbrook or Mike Wallace. You need two

of them? Yes, sir, I go Mike Wallace and Martevis Bryant. I would if I'm you. I'm stacking Ben and Bryant this way. If you hit that long touchdown, you win your championship. And I like Mike Wallace. This week against that Indianapolis called secondary, it looks like Macklin is banged up, which could mean more opportunity for while Is as well up. Next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Josh and Milwaukee. What's going on joshing around the Fantasy Freestyle? Dilly, Dilly,

how can we help you win a championship speeds. That's going on, dude, real quick? I I hear you on the the timing, on the matchups, and then all posted siding with a bunch of family stuff, dude, I got I got three family stuff to do now with my newlywed wife. I hear you. I want to watch the games. My championship is out on the line, but yeah, check it out, Josh. We're up against the break, so give me a question. If I can't answer it before the break, I'll do it right after the break. Sure, I got

two quick ones for you. I got Keenum folds and Bortles and like Monday Night portals. Right now, I'm going Bortles. I would not do the folds just to block it because he has an eagle. I like Bortles, then Keenum, then folds. What's the other one? Real quick? Can you give me three out of a four and a PPR? Yeah? Well, who do we got? A? J? Green, Sean Diggs, Jordan Howard and McCaffrey three out of the four for me? The one without a chair when the music stops is Unfortunately,

my guys, Stephen, can you digs it? You gotta go, Howard, you gotta go seemc because it's full point PPR and I gotta ride with a J Green When we come back, we tie a nice neat little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm gonna still get to you, though, Hector in Chicago for Hang Tight. You'll still get on with spitting speeds on the Fantasy Freestyle Coming right back Fantasy Freestyle. Russell Wilson is the m v P of

the league. But that's only the case if the Seattle Seahawks make the playoffs and if their defense is starting to point fingers at each other air grievances. It's still Festivus season, right, so the airing of grievances is still valid. And if these guys, the Seahawks are airing grievances, I think it's an issue. I think there are cracks. If they don't make the playoffs, I think the end has

come to the Seattle Seahawks run. We get from seven to eight p m. Eastern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Don't push us because we're close to the edge. We're on the edge of fantasy football championships here as we get ready for weeks sixteen of the NFL and the fantasy football season. We had one more caller that I want to want to make sure we try to help out everyone in the stats overbeat Cipher. We go to Shytown, the Wind, the City, and it is Hector. Dilley. Dilley,

how can we help you? Hector? Let's get a championship, dely Dilly spees. Hey, I just want to give you a quick couple of stats from my league. I just got brought to my attention that I am the lowest scoring team in our league, but I'm in the championship. Don't matter, baby, it don't matter. I don't care. I don't care if you got lucky matchups. I don't care if you had good injury luck. I do not care.

If your name is on that trophy, that championship belt, if the commissioner sends you the check, and if you win your league and win that catch, that is what lies forever, right, Hector, how can we help? I got two? I got one defense one, and I wanted to talk to you about another game. We don't have a lot of time. We're right up against the end of the show. What's your defense question? Real quick defense? Chargers second game on the road or Bears at home. I like the

Chargers in defense. What you really depend on our sacks? And uh, and that's Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram against Bryce Petty. Real quick with your other question. I like the Chargers defense, all right, And I know this is you gotta have a lot of conas for this one. But what do you think about Gilly versus the Bills. They've allowed sixteen rushing touchdowns. Man, and that's a revenge game forgetlessly. I hear you. I would not do it.

I would not do it. I think you if you're you're tempting fate if you try to get into Bill Belichick's mind. I think it's possible we want to score three touchdowns, but I would not risk my fantasy championship on that. But good luck to you, man. If you want to have the cohonas and do that, then go right ahead. I would I would do do me a favor. If you do that and you win your championship, call back and let me know about that. I think then

that would be you would get the can Award. All right, Um, thanks for calling, and good luck to you, Dilly dilly hector. All right, man, we go down to the Fantasy Pit of Misery where uh we hear from O guy, it's your boy, my man Chris ventra Hey adventure. What's going on in the YouTube chat? What I want to know our people, um also at like a little bit piste off like I am, that they're gonna have to see their fantasy championship as they're traveling around in the holidays

this weekend. I didn't see too much of that. These people aren't in their championship and don't have family. I guess some people aren't in the championships. I mean, you know, like I'm gonna be driving around the Tri State area when my players are trying to win. What do you think see championship. I'm gonna be in Long Island. I'm gonna be in Queens. I'm gonna be in Brooklyn. I'm gonna be in the Bronx. I got five players going

on Christmas Day. You know, I gotta go. I gotta go to my family, I gotta go to some friends. I gotta go to my unicorns family as well. You know what I mean? Come on, now that all right? I got you. What are they saying though? What are they saying? They say, Well, the other day. They were talking about, oh, fancy baseball, fancy basketball, some football. We got some fancy football questions here right, very quick, let's take one. Here's one. Who you got. You gotta pick

one for a standard league. Jervis Landry, Dog Baldwin or D. D. Westbrook. It's an interesting It's not Baldwin for me as that you heard me say. I think Baldwin has just become part of the herd in Seattle. Um Landry or Westbrook. Give me Landry standard? Yeah, just give me Landry anyway. He's he's getting in the end zone. He's the main weapon there. Um. I know he's much better in PPR than Standard, but give me Landry. With those Jacksonville receivers.

I think the return of Alan Hearns compromises everybody. Everybody's share. I think they split it. Give me, uh, give me Jarvis Landry. Let me ask you something, the real quick venture. Uh. You're listening to Lana Block live also, I mean you know the last hour with me and Tony. Oh yeah, of course. What do you think about this? Charlie villain, A wave, a toilet bulpeper. I don't know what to make of it. I've I met Charlie Villanueva. Yeah, I'm

one degree of separation away from Charlie Villanueva. But how I know Charlie Villeneueva is not a story for on air. No, Well, I could imagine this happening, and I could also imagine that he someone set this up. He is a vindetta of revenge robbery, Yeah, something something like that, because I met the guy and to me, he's like, he's a nice guy, but you know, he could come from shal You know, all right, check us out tomorrow. We're gonna

have this new Young Cars track. We're gonna break down some of the other big time matchups that'll be fantasy freestyle. Come on back, yo, check Charlie Villanueva. You know what we're talking about.
