Dane Martinez spends the final night of Chanukah looking at the most festive Week 16 waiver adds, including the likes of Blake Bortles. There were some brutal Week 15 #GameofInches, but none more than for FNTSY's Maria Marino, who lost thanks to Matt Bryant's blocked field goal. Speaking of the Monday night game, Dane says Mike Evans is turning it around from being a fantasy fugazi and will be back to stud status in 2018\. Week 16 waiver adds for Dane include Randall Cobb, Eli Manning, and Martavis Bryant. #FNTSY #NFL #Week16 #Championship #FantasyPlayoffs #FantasyFootball #Jaguars #BlakeBortles #JimmyG #NickFoles #DJax #MakeAmericaBrateAgain #GameofInches #AaronRodgers #Lions #AmeerAbdullah #TheoRiddick #JamesWhite #MikeEvans #DevontaeFreeman #Chanukah

Big shout out. If you're listening live on I Heart Radio on tune in Radio on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app, or if you are watching live inside Studio thirty four in the Fantasy Sports

Network YouTube livestream. We got a big show for you on a Tuesday, as we can close the book on Week fifteen and your semifinal matchups and start to look ahead to Championship week. If you are still involved, if you're still listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, if you're still tune it into the Fantasy Freestyle, it is most likely because you have a championship trophy on the

line this week. So I'm gonna tell you something. I will do everything in my power to give you the right information for you to seriously this time win your leagues and win that cast. That's what we gotta do. And always. On Tuesday's we talked about waiver wire ads who to spend your fab budget on and if you got any budget left, you gotta blow it all this weekend. We'll talk about that in a little bit. We will also recap Monday Night football which ended week fifteen the

Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Bucks. Let me tell you something then, I hope you listen to me, because remember I said I like the Falcons to win, but not to cover the spread. That's what happened. I said, I like this to be the week Mike Evans finally delivers for you and gets in the end zone. Maybe there was a couple of other shots called on that game.

We'll get into that a little bit later on. We will also talk about some brutal hashtag game of inches from the stats over Beat Cipher, including someone who unfortunately that you all know, lost their semifinal matchup with the hashtag game of inches. Will tell you who will tell you how a little bit later on in the show. I'll give you a hint. This person is no longer so excited, so happy. It's a big problem for this person. We'll talk about that a little bit later on. What

I'll let you know when the phone lines are open and you could get down here on the Fantasy Freestyle talking to your boy Speeds the spitted Statistician. And as you know, if you saw it yesterday's show, I received what I believe is one of the most thoughtful gifts I've gotten

in a long time from Jilly Dilley. So you know I had to wear my whole whole hike ugly Christmas sweater. Shout out to Jilly Dilley, Shout out to the stats over Beat Cipher, Shout out to my guys out there and rode Awear also doing great shirts out there for the Fantasy playoffs, We're gonna have to make that happen as well.

of stuff to do. We gotta get people ready for Week sixteen, their championship watching on the stream, listening live. We're gonna make sure we take care of you. Will do phones, we'll do tweets, we'll do chats, we'll do it all. Come all, right back, it's the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go. Are you new to Daily Fantasy are you a veteran? Either way, you can better your chances of winning money and lots of it by going to Daily Rodo dot com. Multiple people have become millionaires thanks to

the guys at Daily Rodo. Why not take advice from the experts. You can become a millionaire to just go to Daily Rodo dot com to rock Daily Fantasy Sports. The champ is here. The champ is here. Hopefully you will also be able to say that when you walk into the room after you win your league and win that cash right after this weekend, it is a championship weekend here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Everybody really excited.

Everybody really, it's coming down to it. Okay, we have been doing this for months and if you are still alive, then you are a true contender. So your boy speaking spitting statistician will be here to hold you down all week right here on the Fantasy Freestyle seven a p m. Eastern Time on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's get started on a Tuesday. Remember, injury reports will start to come out on tomorrow's episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. Tuesday is always a little bit of a down time in

the football week. It is the day off for players, but we have news and notes. It is not a day off for speech. Check this out. De Sean Jackson and O. J. Howard were both seen in walking boots after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Atlanta Falcons last night. Who is left you know? You know about Mike Evans already? The question is could that be a little bit of a boost to making America break again?

We will find out. Also check this out. After coming back and the much you know talked about return of Aaron Rodgers, he had one game, didn't look like himself. The Packers lost that game. More importantly, the Falcons one last night. That eliminates the Green Bay Packers from playoff contention, and in response, the Green Bay Packers have sent Aaron Rodgers to I are effectively ending his season. Why risk it for a team that is not now contending in

the playoffs. Amirabdulah in Detroit is quote unquote frustrated by what apparently is him getting benched. I mean tay On Green apparently has leap frogged him, and THEO Ritick is there as well. Amirabdula only got eight snaps last week, even when THEO Ridick fumbled earlier on in the game. Okay, so I think Amiabdullah done fu gazy and THEO Ritic because I do not believe in tay On Green. I think THEO Rittic is a very interesting play moving forward.

This week, the Detroit Lions have the Cincinnati Bengals, I believe, and they have waived the white flag on the season. The Patriots are optimistic that Rex Burkhead will be back for the playoffs, but he probably won't be back ahead of that time that with the spray knee that he got in Pittsburgh against the Steelers on Sunday. I believe, Listen, there's gonna be a lot of Dion Lewis, but I think James White finds his way back into that committee

in New England as well. We got a couple more people. It's not just Aaron Rodgers going to I R. Hunter Henry the tight end for the Chargers. They're going He's going to I R. Might that mean Antonio Gates is viable as a streaming tight end against the Jets this week? I don't really think. So we'll talk about it more in the next segment when we do our waiver wire ads Tom Savage also to I R. For the Texans. It does look like t J. Yates will be the

man for the Texans moving forward under center. Also in Pittsburgh, we found out Antonio Brown will miss week sixteen. James Conner has been sent to I R. Here's what I'm saying, and I said it again, Yes, I said it yesterday. Fitzgerald Toussaint, I think becomes the Levy on bell Hancuff. Some of you people out there have playoffs where you have like two weeks, so you gotta worry about Week seventeen. Levyan Bella is healthy right now, but God forbid something changes.

You need the backup, you need the handcuff. I believe that it is fitz Gerald Toussaint, although just to let you know, and to further complicate things, the Pittsburgh Steelers did sign Stephen Ridley today. That's pretty much an insurance policy. I will say this though, in dynasty leagues, in keeper leagues, keep James Conner. Okay, they liked this kid, and uh

remember my narrative. I don't know. Imagine if it all works out well and Big Ben rides off in the sunset, I can see Levy on Bell testing free agency, making James Conner a very interesting asset in dynasty leagues. All right, I want to talk a little bit more about Monday Night football. Last night, as the Atlanta Falcons beat the Tampa Bay Bucks two to twenty one, Tampa Bay had a kick to try to tie it up as regulation ended.

It did not happen. I gotta tell you something. I told you that I would take the Buck as home dogs. I said that six or seven points was a little bit too much. I said I liked the Falcons to win twenty three. That was the final. I gave you a three point game instead. It was one very close by your boy spitting speeds. I hope you listen to me, and said, had the Falcons winning the game but not

covering the spread. I also told you that Mike Evans was gonna actually show up and deliver for Fantasy owners. A lot of people should I bench Mike Evans in my semifinal. Everybody who said that, I was like, no, I don't think you can do that. And Mike Evans finally had himself a representative out in five catches, seventy nine yards and a touchdown. I think he helped you if you actually stuck with him. The thing is, he had also two offensive past interference calls on him that

I thought were a little fool gazzy. If you want to know the truth, I think Mike Evans is uh maybe on his way back, and I think he will be undervalued if you want to know the truth. Next season, my man Corey Parson, the Fantasy executive, always says that he would like to take last year's trash, and one of the guys that will be last year's trash when we talk about next year, it's gonna be Mike Evans. They're gonna have a new head coach, probably a new scheme. There.

I'm back all in on Mike Evans next year. You saw the talent and I, uh, you know, if you started him this week. It probably worked out for you. If you listen to spitting speeds, it probably looked out worked out for you as well. Let me tell you something else. So DeVonta Freeman is a beast. He runs very hard. He made a dude look silly um on his long run. I think Devonte Freeman, you know, now further removed from his injuries, his concussions. You see when

Tevin Coleman is not there. This is a guy that really, in my opinion, is an RB one. Two carries for a hundred and twenty six yards and a touchdown, another sixty eight via the passing game, pretty much a hundred and ninety plus scrimmage yards plus a touchdown. I will take that. I know next week they got a tough match up against the New Orleans Saints defense, but I think the Vante Freeman is locked and loaded as an

RB one moving forward. I also told you about how Desawan Jackson and O. J. Howard were um banged up. If both of those guys are compromised, check the practice reports, which I'll start sharing on tomorrow's episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. But I think make America braid again. Cameron Brake could be a very interesting option at tight end if you need someone, or a flex play if you need someone

in your championship. The last thing I'll say on this game, and I said it before the game, I said, some of these guys might be auditioning for their new coach. I told you how I thought John Gruden wants to get back into coaching. Did you hear that halftime speech. You're gonna tell me he's not trying to position himself for a head coaching job, thanking everybody and all that stuff. I think he is. I said it yesterday and what I heard last night does not change my opinion. All Right,

it's time we gotta get into It's uh bovona. We got a semi final edition of hashtag Game of Inches. I mean that big Ben Jesse James play that could have been you know, frustrating if that ruined your league. What about that car fumble that could have been frustrated if that ruined your What about the Gutskoski missed extra point in that game? If that was your margin of

victory or loss, that could be really bad. And what about on Monday Night Football last night when DeVonta Freeman could have had another touchdown fumbled at the goal line and then t Lolo got it. That helped nobody. It could have hurt Devonte Freeman owners, but he he did enough. I'm sure if you had Freeman, you did. Okay, check this out, Bone, I got some options for you. Here are options for a semi final edition of hashtag Game

of Inches. First of all, Liberty Finder at Liberty Finder lost their matchup on the car fumble that became a touchback. If Car had gotten that touchdown, they would have won. The only thing is I think we've already shouted out Liberty Finder. I think Liberty Finder has already won a Game of Inches, so I'm less likely to have them

win again. But that is tough. Lost on the car fumble that became a touchback because you think you're going in there for a touchdown, and then if all of a sudden, instead of only getting the touchdown, you don't get the plus six, but you get minus two for the fumble. That is pretty bad. Check this out. Michael Perez, who has been on Game of Inches before check this out,

was down by forty. He says after a dud from Rivers, a dud from Henry A dud from Funchius and a dud from a j Green opponent when he was down by forty. But you know we had in the late games Todd Gurley and his forty three points. Michael Perez is now headed to his fantasy championship on the back of the girly man Todd Gurley. Check out Sam's Yang. Check this out opponent. His opponent had Michael Crabtree, and Michael Crabtree fumbled real late, but Michael trav Creed then

recovered that fumble by himself. Our guy, Sam's Yang lost by one point five points. If Crabtree actually did lose that fumble, he would have won by half a point. Hashtag game of inches. Check this out. My info at a L. Martinez lost thought they had it one lost on a defensive stat correction for the Jacksonville Jaguars because of return yards took away three point seven points. His opponent had the Philadelphia Eagles, who got extra points in

stack corrections. And then this guy lost by point to eight three tenths of a point in the semifinals because of a stat correction. We got some other options, Chris, I want to get your advice on but check this out. We also I had, you know, we always do game of inches. I had someone give me you ready for this, a game of miles. Big shout out to Nathan Conway who won his semifinal matchup. Get this, Chris, two hundred

to sixty two absolutely crushed their opponent. We also had Clayton trey Hand who had Big Ben or someone in their league had Big Ben that play not getting the touchdown instead giving the interception. Uh, someone in their league lost by four points. I don't really want to say that because this was in like the consolation bracket, so it wasn't as high stakes. And then we've got one

more that I gotta bounce off you, Chris. Then what we're gonna do when we get back, I'm gonna hear who you think wins hashtag game of Inches, and we'll talk about my waiver wire pickups for weeks sixteen, all that and more. When we come back here, we're gonna holler at the stats over beat Cipher as well. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Award Women Fantasy Sports Radio Network, coming right back. Hunter, Henry Sterling, 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 dell o the app f and t S Wire Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven. The best Fantasy sports on ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Day Martinez

speeds the spitting statistician holding you down. And as you know, we've been doing it all season long. We do it on Tuesdays and Wednesday's hashtag Game of Inches, where people really lose their fantasy matchups or win their fantasy matchups based on random ridiculous stuff. I gave a couple of nominees. Chris Bavona, the manimal is the guy who decides it. But we have one more nominee. You may know my home girl, Miss First Team All Lit the shoulder shimmy

in full effect, Maria Marino Well. I found out this morning from Maria that unfortunately Maria lost in her semifinals matchup. She lost by two point five points, she lost by less than a field goal, and she had Matt Bryant as her kicker. Go last night, Matt Bryant had a field goal get blocked. If that field goal goes through, Maria Marino advances to her fantasy championship, but instead she

is merely the semifinalist. I know, unfortunately that is not so good and she is not so excited about that. But I don't think Maria can actually win hashtag Game of Inches. I think she would have rather have won her match up with Matt Bryant. But out of our other nominees, it sounds like you've got an idea on who the winner is. I mean, listen for Maria, that's really unfortunately. Hey, you know she had some she had she was so good on Sundays. She is so fun

on Sundays. She was always so excited, So really, what can she say? No? I completely agree, I completely agree, But who does we got as? Uh? Who do you think is the Game of inches? Uh? Winner? I so badly wanted to go with the Todd Gurley forty three points because being down by forty points in the playoffs and winning like that, when you get a whole bunch of duds, I'm mean, like that's just that's just insane,

but because they won, I'm sorry, I can't go. Yeah, Game Aventes should be something for a loser, right, someone who loses, to make them feel a little bit better to be crushed by a stack correction, though. I let me tell you something. If that was me and I lost by a compensive stack correction and lost by point to eight, my computer would be out the window on the street, run over by a couple of cars, probably

pete on by a dog walking by. So I'm going with the defensive stack correction to lose my point to eight, I would have been crying. Yeah, I agree with you and everybody a little inside radio, I have seen the manimal Chris Bavona down there in the fantasy pit of misery. Let me tell you something. He would do all of the things he just said to his own computer if he lost by a defensive stack correction and wound up losing by point to eight. Unfortunately, that is what happened

to my info at a l. Martinez. If it's any solace for you, at least you are the week fifteen Game of Inches UH nominee champion winner from the Fantasy Freestyle. All of you who did not lose in the semifinals. But maybe you know, maybe you had Antonio Brown, maybe you had Davante Adams, maybe you had others which cause you to need to go to the waiver wire this week. That's what we're gonna do here. In this segment of the Fantasy Freestyle, we started the quarterback position. Let me

tell you something. Last week, I gave you three quarterbacks. I gave you Blake Bortles, I gave you Nick Foles. I give you Jimmy Garoppolo. All of them popped off for you. Bordles and Jimmy g both over three yards with multiple touchdowns. Nick Foles put up four touchdowns against the Giants. If you listen to me and had any of those guys, I think they all actually outperformed Aaron Rodgers in his loan start over the last couple of weeks, because Rogers had three picks, so you needed to listen

to me. I like two of them again. I like Nick Foles again. He's now only seven percent owned after his four touchdown puts Worman's He's got the Oakland Raiders another bad defense, this time at home. I think Nick Foles is viable if you need a quarterback he's only owned. I like Blake Bortles again. Bortle service. Let me tell you something. He had three hundred twenty three yards and three touchdowns in his last five games. He has now only had one interception to go along with eight touchdowns.

And they faced the San Francisco forty Niners. I like that matchup. I am completely okay with you starting Blake Bortles over name guys if it comes to that in your fantasy championship. Jimmy Garoppolo, however, I'm off Jimmy Garoppolo. He'st owned. He had a big time game three hundred and eighty one yards last week. He is three and old as a startup for the forty Niners, but I'm off him this week. Do not grab Jimmy Garoppolo y

because they're playing the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. That catch scratch fever. I fade quarterbacks against him. What about Eli Manning owned? He put the ball up fifty seven times last week? They get Arizona in Arizona after thirty seven of fifty seven for four thirty four and three touchdowns. Listen, I think they could be down. I think Eli could be a volume thrower again. I think there are worse

options on on target. You heard I think it was it was Joey p or Jake Seeley saying that they would actually take Eli Manning over Big Ben Roethlisberger this week. I'm not going that far, but I think you could do worse than Eli Manning at running back. I gotta tell you, first of all, before we go into the waiver guys at running back, Ezekiel Elliott is owned in of leagues. That means one out of every twenty of

you that are listening right now. If you actually went you can go ahead and pick up Ezekiel Elliott right now in his return from suspension going up against the Seattle Seahawks. And by the way, did just see what Todd Gurley did to that Seahawks defense last week. It's just worth the check. I'm not saying like I'm breaking news here, but it is worth the check. He's owned one out of twenty of You can go pick up Zeke Elliott. Maybe you need him for the Fantasy Championship.

Other running backs I think are viable. I think James White. I like James White. He's fifty one owned. I like James White in for the role that Rex Burkehead had. Okay, now they get ahold, we could practice there up against Buffalo. I think he's viable. I think it's still gonna be Dion Louis getting a heavy share. But I think James White is the proverbial next man up for the Pats, and he's done it before. I think he can do

it again. I like Theo Rittic as well. At fifty I think he is the lead back for these Detroit Lions. I talked about it before Amabdulah got benched as a little frustrated Amerabdulah. I'm sorry to hear you, but I don't believe in ty On Green. Okay, I don't believe in that. I think it's going to be THEO Rittic. I think as long as Reddick can hold onto the ball, he will be the back the entire game. And they've got the Cincinnati Bengals, who I believe have waived the

white flag on their season. I like THEO Riddick and James White as viable ads around the fifty percent level. Zeke obviously is wor worth a check a little bit lower. If you're really scrapping the bottom of the batrel. Here's two guys for you. They play against each other in that Giant Cardinals game. Carwin Williams. Listen, he's gonna get the touches. He's gonna get fifteen to twenty carries. He's gonna wind up with sixties seventy yards, maybe something in

the passing game as well. You gotta hope though, that he can get into the end zone against the Giants. I think that's very viable. And on the other side, what about Wayne Gallman If he's only only in five percent of leagues, but if you're in the PPR league, this is a guy. He's led the Giants in touches the last two weeks in a row. I personally hope you don't need him, but if you do, you could do worse than Wayne Gallman at the wide receiver position.

And this is where it is because a lot of people who are competing in their championships may have lost Antonio Brown, may have lost Davante Adams, may have lost the guy like Marquis Lee even Okay, so they're are some people you need to consider moving forward. And the first I stay right there in Jacksonville. Keelan Cole is only five percent owned. This is a guy who went seven catches for a hundred eighty six yards and a touchdown. If Mark Kisley is still out, I think he is viable.

I think I like Blake Bordle's the only question I have because you know D. D. Westbrook is there. My question is will Alan Hearns come back. Alan Hearns has missed over the last month. He may come back. If Hearns comes back, then it's D. D. Westbrook and Allen Hearns and Keelan Cole is right back to his slot option. But check that out. He might be worth rostering. But the thing is, do you really want to run him out with your championship on the line. I'm not so sure.

Here are two other guys that are more heavily owned around the fifty percent level that I completely would run out. If you lost the guy like Davante Adams, if you lost the guy like Mark Tavis, excuse me, like um Antonio Brown. And my answer is Martavis Bryant. Okay, he is fifty six owned, so you can will get out and get him right now. Okay, half the people can go out and get him right now. They play the Houston Texans. The Houston Texans have been giving up the

big play all season long. That is what Martavis Bryant does. I think Juju Smith Schuster is gonna be the move the chains kind of guy in this game. I think Bryant is gonna be the home run threat, and you can get him in almost half a league's He is available right now if you want to put in a waiver claim plug him in for Antonio Brown. Also in Green Bay. If there's no Davante Adams, I think that

means things look up for Randall Cobb. I know Randall Cobb didn't have the best chemistry when Hunley was in, and obviously they're going back to Hunley there because a Rod is now on I R. But I think, listen, I think Randall Cobb is viable. He's only fifty owned. He had a nice night last time, seven catches, eighty four yards and a touchdown. I understand they faced the Minnesota Vikings, but Randall Cobb does a lot of work in the slot, so I think it's still could be optional.

Um Marky's Goodwin is two thirds owned, but I don't like him up against the cat scratch fever and d D. Westbrook is still under fift owned. Okay, find the jaguar. D. D. Westbrook could be the lead dog. Um. He only went to for twenty one last time out, But I think he can come back and do some work against San Francisco, especially if markis Lee misses that one at tight end. Real quick, listen. Greg Olsen is unowned in a quarter of leagues. I think he's gonna have another great match

up against Tampa Bay Worth checking. You can go out and get Greg Olsen. I told you about him last week. I use him in my DFS lineup. He popped off for nine sixteen and a touchdown. You can still get him. What about Eric Ebron? Eric Ebron got a touchdown last week, had ten for ninety four the week after before that. Maybe he's starting to grow. He's unowned in over fifty of leagues. We talked about Antonio Gates with no Hunter, Henry.

What about Cameron making America break again? If O. J. Howard doesn't go and you know those are some tight ends, you may be able to. Here's what we're gonna do when we come back. We open up the phone line, So call right now if you want to talk to speeds. The number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We will prioritize the hashtags stats over beat Cipher. In our final segment, I want to hear from you. If you won your league's and

won that cash, come celebrate. What's your boy speeds? This pitting statistician right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What we also will have to do is, for the last time, we will light the minora for the last time. It is the eighth crazy night. We'll do that.

So for the last time, it is the eighth crazy night. It is time. It is time to say the prayer and light the menora for the last time this year. So here we go. I hope everybody has I had a great hanaka. Some people you know, advanced to their

championship during Hanukah. I got my first ever Hanakah present from Jilly Dilley in this whole whole Hikes sweater, which I love, by the way. And so for the last time, I hope I've improved. I hope I get to do this, and I hope I nail it this time, all right, borokatadnai Hnu Mela alamak Ashanu bam its voo TV vits Vanu Leja Diknashelle Hanaka bang. It is officially the last

night of Hanukah. I hope it is one of those crazy nights for you and you get everything you wanted from the mention on the bench or underneath the hanaka. I guess it's not underneath the tree, right underneath the manorah. I was overcome with joy when I saw everybody hooking me up presents as well, giving me some props, and everybody just thanking for them whatever help I've been able to give people as they win their leagues and win that cash. But we are not done because we got

to open up the phone lines right now. The number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, and the phone lines are lighting up and right off the bat. That makes me happy because you know what that means. That means the stats over beat. Cipher still has questions, and if you still have questions, that means you are still alive in your Fantasy football championship. To say it with me now, y'all know, win your leagues and win that cash. So let's go to the

phone lines right now. We start on the Fantasy Freestyle on a Tuesday with Mike in San Antonio. Hey, Mike, what's going on? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle talking with the spitting statistician. Let's help you get a championship. W what's going on? Mike? Alright, what's up? Dame? Thanks so much for helping me out. Um you always were there and help me out with this championship right here, absolutely, so let's get it done. Let's get one more win.

How can we help? Alright? So, I have chief positions. First, one's quarterback. Um I have Kingdom bordles and folders on the wire. So I'm not sure if he begins, I can't believe I'm saying this. Um So And Mike, I know if you think I'm crazy, I understand, but I think in your fantasy championship, Mike, you need to start Blake Bortles. It's crazy, it's crazy. I know it's crazy, but think about what he's been doing lately. Hasn't thrown out He's down one pick because last like five games.

Um I. Also, here's the other thing, Mike, and and and I'll preface it with this part of me. I also think Leonard Fournette is not going to play again this week, and that helps me with Blake Bortles. Okay, so check the Leonard Fournette status throughout the week as well. I actually think Fournett's gonna miss another game and that helps Blake Bortles even more. What else you got for me, Mike? Okayum, on the flex, I have Robert Woods, Walker and Lynch.

Wait it again, Woods a Galore, Delaney Walker, the Girl and Beast mode. Huh is this PPR standard PPR one. It's PPR full point, yes, full point all right, Um, it depends on how you want to play it, Mike, and your flex. I'm gonna tell you this. I'm off Delaney Walker. Okay, I'll tell you It's not Delaney Walker for me. I'll tell you this. I think Lynch has the best chance to get in the end zone in this game. Okay, So that's your flex play if you want, like the safe touch, I think Lynch can get in

the end zone. But in the PPR format, Agore has been targeted a lot. Woods did well in his first game back and got in the end zone and the Rams have a nice matchup. I think Lynch is the safest player again in the end zone, but in PPR formats, I go Robert Woods. I think Robert Woods has the apple of Jared Goff's I and Jared Goff has the Tennessee Titans, and they are bad against the past. The Titans are like third in the league against the run

and against the past. Asked, I think this is gonna be a Jared Goff throwing the ball game, and Robert Woods has really become his primary receiver. So I would go Robert Woods, but I understand if you want to go beast mode. I personally though, would go with Robert Woods. Thanks for all the kind words, Mike, I hope you win your league this week. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, no problem, we go to the windy city of Chicago

and we talked to Hector. Hector is a friend of the show, been on before, and the fact that he's still on means good things for the stats. Over beat Cipher, Dilly Dilly, Hecktor, what's going on? We got another championship matchup this week? What's up? Yes, sir, Yes, sir, thanks to lasts. Just like you told me, Um McCoy would dig good good. You told me to start Crams. Yeah, he got two touchdowns for you, right, grad Tree did Yeah, and Bortles. Let me tell you something. Bortles has another

good matchup this week. Actor. I know it's crazy, but you might need to run win a to see championship on the back of Blake Bortles. Actor. What did you got for me? What you got? Alright? So? Um, I got some wide receivers, same one I've been talking about the past couple of weeks. Crabtree, Gordon and the New and Tyreek Hill. How many of you need? And is a PPR standard? This is standards And I don't know if I want to run three set wide receivers or just keep two and try to try to pick up

a running back off waivers. Maybe alright, So, uh, it's not SNU this week. Okay, I do not. I'm a little off SNU this week. I like crab Tree, I like Tyreek Hill, and I like Josh Gordon. I think you can ride all three of those guys out there over like a running back you would have to pick up on the waiver wire. So my answer for you is start Crabtree again, start Gordon again, and go back to Tyreek Hill. This guy, listen, this guy is popping off. He's getting big plays every week. I thought it was

gonna be limited. Yeah, he's very fast. He was a little bit limited against the charges. You know, outside of that big play, he didn't do much outside of the big touchdown. But that's all you need to be quite honest. So that's my answer for you, Crabtree, Gordon and Hill. I hope it works out, Hector, I hope you win your chip. Okay, um up next on the Fantasy Freestyle anytime, Hector Dilley. Dilley to you, we go to Milwaukee and Jordan's Hey, Jordan, you're trying to win a championship this week.

How can we help. Let's help you win your leagues and win that cash. Yes, sir, um, I'm actually in two finals right now. I'm gonna hit him real quick. Um. I got a full point ppr um. It's between four rider severs, I need three. Um. I got Larry Fitzgerald, I got Crabtree, I got the Cheetah himself, Tyree Hill. And I'm wondering if D. D. Westbrook is high enough cheer to subbing for one of them. Yeah, I think

the right answer is Fitzgerald. Uh, Crabtree and Hill, Okay, I understand what you're saying or round d D. You gotta check the Jaguars injury reports. Okay, Jordan's because, um right, four net. If four nets out and Marky's Lee is out, you know, then maybe you got a chance with D. D. Westbrook. But if either one of those guys are in, then it becomes a little bit too crowded. I also like Listen, I like west I like Um, I like Westbrook, you know,

I like Bordles. But you know, at some point this train is gonna buck you, right, you have other options I would try to win. Are you really gonna try and win your championship with D D. Westbrook? Or you're gonna try to win your championship with Larry Fitzgerald? You know what I mean? So I go Fitzgerald, Crabtree, and Hill. What else you got from Jordan? I have all three of those, three of those guys since the draft three Dance with the Girl you brought you you know, yep, yep?

And then, um, this one's a long shot. I'm going up against Zeke, Gurley and Freeman, so I gotta have the higher upside here. Um, I got Camaro and Gordon, but I'm looking to flex either Shady McCoy against you know, the stingy New England defense I shot them down last time. Or um Marvin Jones Junior against that? Yeah, I think Marvin Jones Jr. Is a better chance to pop. Shady McCoy is the safe play. But I actually have a feeling you're gonna hear later on this week, Shady McCoy

is a fool gazzy for me, Bill Belichick. In the Patriots, what they try to do is take away one thing, right, They try to take away when you do best. And with Buffalo, there's only answer is Shady McCoy. I think they're gonna focus on Shady McCoy and try to force Tyrod Taylor to beat him with his arm, and he doesn't have the weapons to do so. So that's what I would say. Listen, Shady is probably the better play, but if you have you need that home run potential,

that would be the Marvin Jones route. All right, I hope it works out for you. Jordan's up next on the Fantasy Freestyle is here in New York. We go to Larry. What's going on? Larry? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle with Speeds Delly Dee Dilly Dilley to you what was going on, Larry? Alright, not much man? Um, Well, I made it to the champions too. Yeah. Yeah, I made it a championship, but I lost Antonio Brown and Adam Yeah that's right. We have. We been going back

and forth on Twitter about this. Yeah, well I talk. Yeah, are you the silent soldier? Okay, that's what's up? So how can we help Larry? What's going on? Man? Good man? Um? Right now, I'm just trying to figure out, you know, my line up because right now I'm starting, Um, Jeffrey and Marteses. Do you like that? What are your other options? That's it? Because you have Adams and and and a B. Right, yeah, so say it again, Jeffrey. I'm I like Briant, Okay, Jeffrey.

I'm not super high on Jeffrey this week, Um, Jeffrey has been getting like four catches for forty five yards. It is just a question of if he gets in the end zone or not. I like that. The Oakland Raiders defense gives it up via the past. But you know, Nick Foles has finding all sorts of people, and Nick Foles is also falling in love with his tight ends for touchdowns. You know what I mean, I think you have to because you lost a B and you lost Adams.

But I'm not super high on Jeffrey this week. Okay, what else you got though? What else you got? All right? Um? Also, um try trying to figure out my flash. Not too many options really to roll with. Oh my god, Mike Davis and Jared McKinnon. And this is standard, by the way. If it's standard, I still like Jack McKinnon. I think Latt is getting worn down a little bit. I still like Jerick McKinnon. I would go Jered McKinnon over Mike Davis. But Larry, do me a favor. Continue to just hit

me up on Twitter. We'll make sure you get uh, we make sure you set up right for this week because I want to help you definitely as part of the Status over Beat site for Dilly Dilly, Larry, I'm glad you can make it on air here on the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Simon in Atlanta.

We're gonna get to you when we come back. I gotta take a quick break and then what we're gonna do is I'm gonna hit Simon in Atlanta and then we're gonna check in on our poll for the waiver wires, and uh, did you hear who's trying to buy the Carolina Panthers. We'll talk about that a little bit as well when we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back, U. I really pretty style. Fitz Gerald Toussaint I think becomes

the Levy on Bell handcuffs. Some of you people out there have playoffs where you have like two weeks, so you gotta worry about week seventeen. Lebian Bell is healthy right now, but God forbid something changes. You need the backup, you need the handcuff. I believe that it is fitz Gerald Toussaint. Although the Pittsburgh Steelers did sign Stephen Ridley.

That's pretty much an insurance policy. On week days from seven to a p m. E. Stern on the Phantasy Sports Radio Network, Hey, I'll be calling shots, shot callers, brawlers, dipping in the bench with the spoilers on the low when the gink and the tourists, and trying to get my hands on some grants like horrors that we do. You get your hands on some grants when you win your leagues and win that cash. Let's go to Simon in Atlanta last call on a Tuesday on the Fantasy

Freeze Thatle, what's going on, Simon? How can we help so speedy? Um, I pad you up on Twitter with my matchup. I was up at point seven and Jamie's put up yea Luckily. Luckily the sucking defense got a sack and phone more covery. So it's all good there. So I'm going to the ship. But I have a question about flex right now. I have good winning at Wide Receiver too and Marshall mention Netflix. But on my waiver good One had a tough matchup and the Raiders are kind of done. So should I pick up Kerwin

Williams or Martavis Bryant or Keelan Cole. I'm okay with beast mode being in your lineup. I understand the Raiders are kind of done, like you mentioned, but I'm okay with beast Mode being in your lineup. I would, however, do something about Marquis and win up against Jacksonville. Okay, So if Martevis Bryant is available for you, that's where I would go. I would do that over Marquees Goodwin. I've been high on Marquees Goodwin, but I don't like

that matchup against Jacksonville. I think they can effectively neutralize Goodwin. I am okay with beast mode. I might be running out beast mode myself and my fantasy championship, all right, So I hope it works out for you though. Um all right, Like I said, we got a pull question that's been up, and we want to know who you would do, you know, spend your way for wire priority or your fat budget last chance at it? Right? Six of you take Martevis Bryant, thirty percent like Healing Cole

and nine percent like Randall Cobb. I kind of see it in that order as well. I would get Martavis Bryant in your lineups if you can. The Houston Texans give up the big play and Martavis Bryant will be that big play guy. But whatever you do, you can go on over, you know, with the DFS lineups going over to Daily Roado dot Com slash d k MS. This is the last week where you can go enter for free into the d k MS tournament. If you win that, you play again next week for free in

the finals. If you win that, you go up to Minnesota for the big game up there in February, like you, Like I've been saying the whole time, I believe not only justin Timberlake, but Janet Jackson as well will be there at halftime. All Right. The last thing I wanted to mention today, and we're not gonna have a ton of time to get into it, but I did want to mention this. Have you guys seen Have you guys

seen who is looking to buy the Carolina Panthers. Okay, Jerry Richardson announced that he's selling the team amiss in essence, amiss sexual um harassment allegations. Right, So it's kind of like, instead of letting everyone see what was really going on and having this get into the kind of the billionaire NFL owners club, he is kind of walking away instead. Right, So he's he's announced he's selling the team. Check this out. Check out who is serious, at least on social media

about buying the team. It's p Diddy also known as did He, also known as Puffy, also known as puff Daddy, also known as the uh you know, the CEO of like Soar Rock and all sorts of other things. His TV network. Hey, there you go, There you go, There you go. Ay, it's all about the Benjamin's yo. But here's the funny part. Though. Here's the funny part. I don't know if did he has enough. Benjamin's last week saw he does top the Forbes list of the wealthiest hip hop artists six years in a row. Did He

is listed at being worth eight hundred and twenty million dollars. However, it's gonna cost a lot more than that to buy the Carolina Panthers, so I don't know if he's gonna be able to do it. Here's the funny part. Check this out. He's out there trying to build an ownership group. Like remember when Stephen Ross bought the Dolphins and he brought in like Gloria, Stephen and j Low and Serena Williams and other celebrities. They bought the Dolphins for one

point one billion. You know who Puffy might be trying to bring in. This is gonna go full circle. He's trying to bring in Colin Kaepernick as part of his investment group. We'll talk about that a little bit more tomorrow, and I'll start to preview all the matchups of Week sixteen. We got the holiday music. It is the last night of Monica. Happy Hanukah to everybody, and to all a good night. I'll see you tomorrow. It's a fantasy freestyle. I'm out Peace,
