You are now tuned in to the speeds and spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next on that safe book on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds Ak to spitting Statistician and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Want to give a big shout out to anybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio, and anybody watching live on the YouTube stream on the Fantasy Sports Network. You can get at me this hour if you want. The number to call is eight four
four eight four three six eight seven nine. My man Chris Bavona, the bounty Hunter, will take good care of you. He's on the ones and two. We take it. It's so hot that we sweat steam. We got a huge show for you. On a Wednesday. We are getting into week one of the football season. Listen. We got so many calls yesterday that I couldn't get through all the games, so we are going to continue to break down the
Week one matchups. What I'm looking for, what you need to look for in terms of trends, who to start, who to sit, who to fade. I got some survivor picks for you. I got some against the spread picks for you. We are gonna give you everything you need for Week one. We will also take your calls. As I said, if you got calls or comments on the YouTube stream, we're gonna try and address those as well.
We gotta pull question up as well on Twitter. Okay, my question is do you agree pretty much with the two main decisions that the NFL has made over the last twenty four thirty six hours to impact Week one, As you know, is Ezekiel Elliott. First of all, the arbitrator Harold Henderson. Because the NFL plays judge, jury and appeal judge and executioner, they have decided to uphold the
six game suspension for Ezekiel Elliott. But because of a little bit of timing and paperwork and filing, somehow they missed the deadline and so Zeke Elliott will still be allowed to play in prime time on Sunday Night Football against the New York Football Giants and keeping the ratings high, keeping their corporate partner NBC happy, M M M, and then Ezekiel Elliott will wind up missing six games starting
in Week two. I think the NFL is crazy like a fox, and all of a sudden, the stars aligned to make sure that their star players will still be there in their prime time window. I'm disgusted by the way the NFL has handled this entire Zeke Elliott's situation. But if you have questions about that how that impacts guys like Darren McFadden, for example, or Zeke Elliott himself, you can holler at me at eight four four eight four three six, eight seven nine, and then also listen.
The NFL came out this morning and said that this Buccaneers Dolphins game. We knew yesterday that it wasn't gonna happen in Miami, but I thought they were gonna wind up moving it to another site. You know, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia where the where the places that were really talked about.
There were other places down south like Atlanta, Carolina that would have been vacant because their teams are on the road, but instead they are moving it to the shared by of week eleven that both teams had as a bye week. I think this has major implications for Week one and for the season along outlook on both of these teams. And it is not a positive, uh, you know, not a positive you know news for them. They're gonna have to play sixteen weeks in a row. I don't think
that helps. Come on back, we dropped. Since that's over, beats, it's a fantasy freeze on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Game one Week one and your calls when we come back, Let's go Quarterback to receiver hook ups, running back depth analysis, rookie values in domensty leagues, deep sleepers, training camp battles.

We're gonna help you try to murk your opponent in Week one of the NFL season. In is Week one of fantasy football as well. This is your boy,
Dame Martinez Speed has been statistician. Welcome in you back dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We got a whole lot of callers and we gonna get to your calls in a second. First, I do want to share some news and notes around in the NFL right here as we get ready for Week one. Odell Beckham Jr. He did not practice today, remember, still nursing that ankle injury that he got in that preseason game against the Browns.
He has yet to be cleared, and he came out today and there are reports that he is more hopeful than confident that he will be able to make it happen been play Week one against the Cowboys in that Sunday night game. I'm thinking I might have Brandon Marshall in my DFS lineups if that's the case. If Oldell Beckham is not able to go, he probably will, though, remember he still got a few more days to test out that ankle. Jeremy Hill did practice also with an
ankle injury. That creates a kind of three Headed Monster in the Cincinnati backfield, Jeremy Hill, Giovanni Bernard, and the rookie Joe Mixon. So, uh, we'll see if any of those guys emerge, or if it's smart to kind of wait and see how the roles clarify. In Cincinnati, da Marius Thomas, he has returned to practice noticing that groin injury.
It looks like he'll be good to go Monday Night football as Denver Bronco's take on the Los Angeles not San Diego Superchargers in Baltimore, it looks like all these guys are ready to go. Okay, Joe Flacco has been cleared. He's ready for Week one coming off that back injury. Danny Woodhead is back at practice coming off the hamstring. Jeremy Macklin practicing in full as well, coming off that foot injury. In Buffalo, it seems like people are gonna be ready to go as well. We know Tyrod Taylor
Team mobile is gonna start. You can add Jordan Matthews to the list of guys on the Bills who will be ready to go Week one against the New York Jets Jets. Jets Jets in Seattle, though, it's not as clear in Seattle. The Seahawks are going to be in Green Bay at Lambo Field, taken on the Packers, and what is the game of the week in the A in the like late game set and listen, Thomas Rawls is now they're saying it's a high ankle sprain. He's gonna be listed as questionable. However, c J prosise their
pass catching back. They say he is a hundred percent. He's ahead of Rawls in that recovery and Eddie Lacey maybe in store for a revenge factor kind of big game as he comes back to battle his former team, the Green Bay Packers. I talked a little bit about how the NFL decided to uh move this Bucks Dolphins game to Week eleven, and there's big impacts. I mean, you drafted Mike Evans maybe in the first round, and now he's not there for you. You know, you drafted J. A. G. I. E.
Early and now he's not there for you. Okay, I think this is not only does this has implications for fantasy. You're obviously gonna have to, you know, like do some of your bench guys. And now the bright side is at least this is their bye week. They're gonna be out there sixteen weeks in a row for you for the rest of the season. But I think this has an impact, especially on the Tampa Bay Bucks. A lot of people like Tampa Bay to do work in that
NFC self division. I don't know if a young team without the opportunity to have a buy you know, is um something that you should be on. Okay, I think the dog days of the season, the war of attrition that it is. You like them having that late week eleven by when they don't have that anymore, they don't have that opportunity to you know, self scout and get better. Listen, the Tampa Bay Bucks were four to one choice to win the NFC South and they were a sexy pick. Okay,
A lot of people were talking about the Bucks. I know my man Corey Parson, the fantasy executives that I'm talking with on Sundays, he was on the Bucks to win that NFC South. He went over to my bookie dot a g G at plus three hundred. He dropped a couple of shekels. Whether it's the Bucks or another team, you should go over to my bookie dot AG right now. They give you a hundred percent match bonus if when you enter, you enter the promo code freestyle tell him
Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician sent you. I think that's a problem. Also, the Miami Dolphins, they have a London game in Week four. They were supposed to they were the home team for a London game, So maybe that's part of the reason why they didn't want to deprive the Dolphins fans out of another kind of home date that is ultimately not played down in South Florida. But I think this is a problem for both the teams.
So if you have you know, if you have a DeVante Park or a Jarvis Landry, a j A gi a Pop Quiz Jock Quiz Rogers and Mike Evans and DeShawn Jackson and Jameis Winston, and you want to know, how do we replace that? Holler boy, Dame Martinez at eight four four, eight four, three six, eight seven nine, and we'll talk you through it. Okay, I'm gonna be talking through these Week one matchups. But it looks like we have a ton of calls. Chris Bovona, we got a ton of calls. Let's get to some of them.
The first one is Manny in Callie. Is that right? If we still got Manny and Kelly? You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with Dame Martinez. What's up, Manny? Hey, I'm calling in because I'm gonna Standard League. I got t Y he's supposed to play, but then on the bench, I got Emmanuel Standards, I got the Pyrcle song and uh Adam filling for. I wanted to see who should I play? Yeah, Adam Feeling is the other guy. Yeah,
I listen. T Y Hilton. I've been telling everybody that t Y Hilton is a full gaze someone you need to fade, something you need to forget about, because you know, without Andrew Luck there the drop down the Scott Tolzine is big. You're talking about some other wide receivers though, that are right in the same area in terms of Week one rankings. Pierre Garson, you talk about Manny Sanders. I like both of those guys over t Y Hilton if need be. And the sounds like the last guy
you mentioned was Adam Feeling. Adam Feeling going Monday Night football against the New Orleans Saints. The Stints have a horrible past defense, and I don't think that's gonna change at all. So yeah, I would start all three of those guys over t Y Hilton Garson, Manny Sanders and Adam Feeland. I'm taking a wait and see approach with the Indianapolis Colts. I don't think they're gonna do much against Los Angeles with Scott Tolzine under center for the
Colts Week one. Heyo, thanks for the call, though it sounds like we got another call Chris John and Colorado has a question about a flex option some running backs to put Jeff and Colorado. My bad, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up with your question? Yeah? Um, I was just watering who should I start as a flex option for either? Um? I have Mike Gillislei on my bench, um and um I also have Joe Mixon and Pure Garcel. Okay, And this is a flexibi. Is this a PPR league? Yeah,
it's a ten man PPR. Okay, So because it's PPR, I'm gonna stray away from Mike Gillieslei. Okay. Mike Gillieslei for the Patriots is gonna be that back that is not necessarily the pass catcher. Okay, the pass catching back is Dion Lewis is James White, And I don't think Gilleslei is gonna give you that kind of production. I like the other option better, and you talked about it, Joe Mixing, and I like Joe Mixon. This is a
kid dripping with upside. I talked about it on the DFS Lineup Block Show with Tony Sencada before we talked about how Joe Mixon, even though it is a crowded backfield, Mixing has shown to be a guy who had the skill, maybe the best in that running back room. Jeremy, don't don't, don't worry. Don't worry, Jeff. Even if you know you get news that Jeremy Hill is going to get the start, I still think Joe Mixing is the guy. I think he's gonna pop off and have a great debut Week
one against the Baltimore Ravens. So thank you for the call in Colorado. I appreciate you joining the Fantasy Freestyle. All right, it sounds like we got another question. We got calls up the ying Yang. If you want to holler at your boy, call him. And now, like I was, miss Cleo at eight four four, eight, four, three, six, eight seven nine. We're taking your calls all this segment. It looks like Justin in New York has a question about his flex spot eight. Justin, you're on the Fantasy
Freestyle with speed. What's up? Hey, what's up? Man? I'm calling because I'm in a little bit of a quarterback conundrum. Okay, I don't know if I should start Alex Smith tomorrow night or Philip Rivers on Monday. Okay, that isn't interesting. That is a little bit of a conundrum. And part of the reason I think you're you might be asking as Philip Rivers. I love Philip Rivers, to be quite honest. Okay, I love Philip Rivers in general ahead of Alex Smith.
The problem is his opponent on Monday night is Denver, and Denver has the absolute best secondary, you know, the best secondary out there, okay, and so that can stifle the passing game. And I understand your concern. However, Alex Smith does not move the needle for me. I do not recommend Alex Smith, especially on the road in New England, in a game where you know the crowd is gonna be jacked up. As they hang the banner. I know you might think, hey, well, if they're behind, maybe they
throw the ball a little bit more. That is not Alex Smith's game. Okay. He is a dink and dunk guy, even when they're down, even when they're supposed to try to stretch the field, Alex Smith is allergic to the deep ball. I don't care if you're going up against that great Denver Broncos defense. I think Philip Rivers. He might not go to the wide receivers, but he can still go to Antonio Gates, Hunter Henry and Melvin Gordon and out of the backfield. I like Philip Rivers in
that situation. Alright, So my pick out of the two, I'm not going with Alex Smith justin. I'm going with Philip Rivers. You can call back next week and thank me, my friend. It sounds like we've got time for one more caller in this In this segment, we got Chris in Arizona. Chris and Arizona. He also has a flex question. You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds. What's your question? Man? Hey, Dan, I got right, Mare.
I currently have Jeremy Macklin in my flex spot, but I have Adam Feeling on the bench, and I'm really concerned because Maclin has no reps really except for this week with Flacco, and I wanted to see what you thought. Who should I start? Yeah, yeah, I'm I like your thinking, man, I like your thinking when faced with Macklin versus Adam Feeling. I'm going with Adam Feeling for two main reasons. Okay.
First of all, Adam Feeling and the and the Vikings on Monday Night are at home and they're taking on the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans Saints pass defense is trash. Okay, it is straight do do just like the emoji. So I like attacking that bad defense. And then you mentioned it yourself, je me. Macklin has not gotten in reps with the new quarterback for him, Joe Flacco that has that chemistry has not built yet, So I like in
that situation. I like Adam Feeling as the pick. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, will take some more of your calls and I'm gonna preview some more Week one matchup. Tell you what I'm thinking. When we come back. It's your boy, Dame Martinez. The Speeds is fitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats overbeats. Come on, 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 the better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app FN T S y or Radio. It's free and it's seven the best Fantasy sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Networks. Your boy Dame Martinez feeds the spitting statistician holding you down. On a Wednesday with my man Chris bovoned about Tokiller,
and we've got a whole lot of callers. We're gonna get to some of them in this segment. I also want to tell you I'm very excited because tomorrow, at this time, right before the Pats and the Chiefs kickoff, we're going to have a special interview. We're gonna have Jason Robbins on with us. He is the CEO of Draft Kings. I know, if you feel like Dandy Fantasy, you know about Draft Kings. We're gonna have Jason Robbins,
he's the CEO of the company. We're gonna ask him about some of the things he's doing this year at Draft Kings, some of the new contests they're having, and some of the you know, spike in business that happens with the NFL season. I'm real excited about that. I'm gonna take a couple of calls in this segment that we're gonna go into previewing some of the games. We'll be back on the phones taking your calls. Towards the end of the show. We got Jacob in Texas who's
been on hold for a little while. Jake, Uh, you gotta trade? Do you want to get the spitting statisticians advice on Jacob? You dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle? What's your trade? Manum, Hey guys, no, it's not actually a trade. Um. You know, I had Todd Gurley this year and I was just wanting me if
he's ready for that breakout year. Um. Another thing is I have do I have to be worried about the Rob Kelly p p ryns Um maybe touches later on and um sort one last one would be yes or no. Do you think Josh Gordon would get reinstated this month? And is he worth picking up? All right, fair enough, thanks for the questions. We've got three of them in there. From Jacob in Texas. Let me go, let me go in reverse order. Okay. First of all, Josh Gordon, No,
I do not think he will be reinstated. I think you're wasting any kind of roster spot if you have him. You know for years people who have been thinking, oh, this is when Josh Gordon is gonna come back. No is my short answer to that. Do not worry ab out Josh Gordon. Secondly, you asked about the running back situation in Washington. If you gotta worry about Rob Kelly, I think you do, but not necessarily because of the reason you mentioned. If you have Rob Kelly like woe
fat Rob. Yes, I do think some a G. P. Ryan, the rookie out of Oklahoma is going to grow in his production and grow in his touches as the season goes along. But another reason to fade Rob Kelly, in my opinion, is the existence of Chris Thompson. Chris Thompson, who they just resigned to a two year six and a half million guaranteed deal. He is the past catching back when they are in the kind of two minute, no huddle shotgun and with the Washington football team, that
is a lot. Okay, Kirk Cousins throws the ball a lot, and they like having Chris Thompson on the field when they're in there kind of to four minute drill. And I think they're gonna be operating that way down in games a lot this year. I do not think the Washington Football team is gonna be in many games. I think they're gonna be behind and throwing the ball. So I'm worried about Chris Thompson and what will be an emerging Soma G. P Ryan at the end of the season.
So yes, I would look to do something with fat Rob Kelly. The third question that you asked was really the first question out of your mouth on the call, and it was about Todd Gurley. I like Todd Gurley as a bounce back candidate this year. Okay, yes, he was stifled, but last year the Rams did not have weapons. I've been saying a lot on Fantasy Freestyle. Opponents were putting all fifty three men in the box to try to stop Todd Gurley, but you can't necessarily do that.
This year. You got Sammy Watkins on one side, you got you know, you got Robert Wood, you got Cooper Cup, you having you know, you have Jared Goff getting better in year two under that new scheme with the head coach Sean McVeigh. So I do think that space opens up for Gurley and he has a much better sophomore campaign than last year in his rookie season. Thanks for the call, Jacob in Texas. We're gonna take one more call because then I gotta get into some of my previews.
We got Taco in Alabama. Taco, you were with us earlier this week and you're calling back. You are once again dropping stats over beats with speeds to spin statistician. How's it going, Taco man? I'm good, just cracked a beer open. How are you? You're doing better than I am? Man, I'm doing all right. I'll be all right when I get home, though. What's what's your question? Man? It seems like you're struggling with THEO Riddick. Oh yeah, I have
actually have some questions. First off, let me let me creface this, but I'm not hurting it running back my starters this week, or David Johnson, Zeke and Cream Hunt. You are not hurting it running back. That is absolutely correct, all right. But I've got three three wide receivers on my bench that I'm not sure about, and THEO Riddick is out there, and so is Chris Johnson, you know, ready to pick up. I have Kevin White, Dante mon Creep,
and Zay Jones. And I'm wondering which one of those three would you drop to pick up either Riddick or Johnson. So here's the thing, you know, I think, to be quite honest, Taco, you said it at the very beginning of your call. You're not hurt at running back, So I don't understand I wouldn't necessarily jump to try to pick up theoretic. Okay, I understand that theoretic is great,
especially in PPR formats. But if you, like you said, you are ready you already you already have, already have David and Kareem Hunt, theoretic is not really cracking that lineup much anyway. So because you are so stout at running back, I would look to maintain the talent you have that wide receiver, and see you know which one of these guys, Pops. You mentioned Zay Jones, you mentioned some other guys who I think are viable receivers, and one of them is gonna really impress this year. I
would keep all of the wide receivers. I would not drop any of them for theoretic because quite frankly, you don't need the help at running back you got Zeke, you got David Johnson. Even when Zeke Elliott is missing time, you're gonna have Kareem Hunt slide in there as your RB two. I don't see Riddick cracking that lineup. And I like some of the wide receivers that you got there. I wouldn't cast the side any of them for theoretic. I would ride with put you got. You also mentioned
Chris Johnson. I want no part of Chris Johnson. Okay, take that out of your mind. But I like the wide receivers you got. I would hold onto them all. I would not drop any of them for theoretic right now, But thanks for the call, Taco. All right, We're gonna take some calls a little bit later on in the next segment. But I gotta tell you I got some Week one previews that I gotta get out, okay, because
I think there's some interesting options. First game I want to talk about today, The Oakland Raiders traveled the Tennessee to take on the Titans. The Titans are minus one and a half favorites over under on this game is fifty one. Let me tell you something. The Tennessee Titans are strong. Last year, their Achilles Heel was their number two cornerback. Okay, other teams number two wide receivers were
feasting against the Tennessee Titans. Okay. The Titans tried to address it by drafting a Dory Jackson, the kid out of USC. But I don't know that that's gonna happen. Okay, especially rookie cornerbacks. They struggled early on as they try to get used to what's going on in the NFL. Okay, their heads are inning, and Oakland happens to have one of the best second wide receivers in the National Football League.
I'm talking about Michael Crabtree. Michael Crabtree right now in on fan duel at least is going at I think that's a nice little play. I think the Raiders are gonna throw the ball. They're gonna get into a match up where they're gonna need to throw the ball. I don't think this is gonna be a lot of beast mode early and often. I think that car and the Raiders are going to throw. And I think that while Logan Ryan is gonna be on a MARII Cooper, the number two wide receiver is gonna eat I like Michael
Crabtree a lot in this matchup. On the Tennessee side, this is one of those teams where I think you really need to wait and see. I think you really need to wait and see a little bit, okay, because there's now a crowded wide receiver group. Is it Eric Decker, is it Richard Matthews? Is it the rookie Corey Davis? Does Delaney Walker still get targets as well? I kind of want to see how the pecking order, you know,
plays out a little bit in Tennessee. So none of these guys are gonna be in my DFS roster unless you take them as a kind of you know, dart throw play at a good price and you pick the right one and that's you know, that's a viable strategy in tournaments. But I would watch out, I would you know, take a chill pill proverbially on the Tennessee wide receivers, but Michael Crabtree is the wide receiver to own week
one for the Oakland Raiders. The other game I want to talk about real quick is the Atlanta Falcons and the Chicago Bears in Chicago. This is a very interesting line. Okay. It started at six and a half, it has gone up to seven. At seven. I like the Chicago Bears. I like the home underdog. I like to fade the public. So I'm going over to my bookie dot ag right now where I can get the Bears plus seven, and I'm gonna take it. I'm worried about the Super Bowl hangover.
I'm worried about the loss of Kyle Shanahan. I'm worried about this Falcons offense on the road on grass in Chicago. They usually don't perform as well away from the turf at home. On the Chicago side of things, keep an eye on Tarik Cohen. Tarik Cohen is a guy my man Emery Hunt shouted out on Lineup Block Live last Sunday. I know Jordan Howard many people think is a bell cow, and I know they got Benny Cunningham right there as the number two back, but Tarik Cohen could be a
deep sleeper. My man Emory Hunt said, this guy was never tackled in college. Okay, could be that kind of scatback that the Bears need. So what I'm also telling you, I know a lot of people think that this Atlanta Falcons team is gonna be a contender. I think I know a lot of people that think the Chicago Bears are not going to be strong. So you put those together and you think, up, that's my knockout pick. I would pump the brakes on that also as the Atlanta
Falcons as a knockout pick. I like the Bears plus seven, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Chicago Bears are that team that comes out and stuns everybody. You know, there's gonna be one game where a lot of people in their Survivor picks and their knockout pools are all on one team and it takes out half the league. I'm worried that this could be the trap game. If you remember last year on Fantasy Freestyle, we did Fettie Wop Wednesdays right where I give you the trap games.
I think this is one of them. I think that the Chicago Bears in the Atlanta Falcons is a trap game. So don't in your Survivor pools bet the Atlanta Falcons. But you can go over to www. Dot Fantasy Factor. Right now, they had given away free entries to a thousand dollar knockout pool. I did it. My knockout pool pick is the Houston Texans, not the Atlanta Falcons. Okay, let me give you one more game real quick what I'm looking for, and then we can get back to
the calls. In the next segment, I want to talk about Philly and Washington. Okay, listen, there is now reports that Josh Norman is going to shadow al Shan Jeffrey all around. Okay, so listen. I was talking about how I like Carson Wentz on DFS Lineup Block, how I love the Philadelphia Eagles, and I do. I like Philly in this game to go on the road and get
a win. But with Josh Norman on alshon Jeffrey, you may look to look elsewhere to get that guy who's gonna pop. I'm gonna tell you the guy I think I'm still stacking Carson Wentz and a nice little value on fan duel. Carson Wentz is only seventy one hundred. I'm not stacking him with the white out. I'm stacking him with zach Ertz. Zach Ertz and only fifty D
on fan duel. I think the Wentz to Earth stack and that combo is gonna be live in the middle of the field where the Washington Football team does not have the coverage linebackers to stay with zach Ertz. That's familiarity, and I think Zach Erford gets into the into the end zone as well. Carson Wentz to zach Ertz is a nice little stack that you can get for cheap in Week one? Boy, do I love these Eagles when Lane Johnson is there protecting Carson Wentz. When we come back,
we go back to your calls. I got some more Week one matchups fantasy freestyle with your boy, Dame Marketinez. Let's go yeah yet.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Come your Boy, Jane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician holding you down on a Wednesday and only like twenty four hours, You're gonna have to make some decisions on these guys. Do you start them? Do you sit them? As the world champion New England Patriots hang their banner at Gillette
as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. I want to let you know we also got a pull question up on Twitter right at f n T s Y Radio.

I'll try to get back to you if you've got those sits start questions. If you got those trade questions, holler at your boy at Spitting Speeds on Twitter.
The pole question we have up is do you agree with the NFL decisions around, you know, letting Zeke play in week one and having the suspension start week two and beyond. Do you agree with the decision to move the Dolphins Bucks game to week eleven? Do you think they're both through good decisions or do neither one of them makes sense? And right now forty one percent of you say neither one of them makes sense, So you are disputing the NFL. I also think they are not
handling these things very well. But I digress. We come on back and we have more of your calls that we're gonna try and get to the segment, and then I'm gonna give you some of more of my previews around week one. Remember we're also gonna have CEO of DraftKings on the Fantasy Freestyle tomorrow. As we get ready for Week one in DFS and Patch chiefs what we
got right now? Remember a lot of people have been asking, first of all, about some of these cults, whether be Jack Doyle, whether it be t Y Hilton, and I am fading them all. Listen, Scott Tolzein is not good. He is like trash. He's blunt, guts trash. Okay, you want no part of any of the Colts playmakers. I'm talking Dante Moncrief, I'm talking t Y Hilton, I'm talking Jack Doyle. It looks like the focus is gonna be
a ton of Frank Gore. Um. I do want to go out to the phone, though, Chris Bavona holding you down at eight four four eight four three six seven nine. It sounds like you've got Cliff and Boston has a question about how to handle this hurricane. Irma game, Cliff, you're dropping status over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. I just hope you're not in Boston on your Apple Watch given signs. Hey, let me tell you something, man, not at all? Alright, alright, man, love the show, always listening.
I got a big question. Man, my team's a little bit in shambles right now because of the hurricane. I've got got Mike Evans it in. I've got Mike Evans, I've got Jack Quiz, I got Dante Freeman. I mean, sorry, Devonte Parker, because the king so right now at my wide out, I've had to Marius Thomas, Kenny Britt and uh, Kevin White right now? What are your thoughts on that right there? Should I make a move? Should I change? I'm kind of iffy right now, and ke Kevin White, listen, listen,
and thanks for the call. I appreciate the love. And thanks to everybody who listens, who watches, who downloads, who tweets. I appreciate it. Trust me, I never thought that everybody would be listening to your boy species has betting statistician and calling in. I thoroughly appreciate it. Let me ask you, though here, to be honest. My response to you, man is I would stand Pat. I would stand Pat. Cliff. Listen, the guys you mentioned are not horrible when you talk
about I think it was Kenny Britt. You mentioned Kevin White and another actual wide receiver that you're definitely gonna start, and your question was really about Kenny Britt and Kevin White. Listen. I think I think Kevin White is gonna be okay. I think remember because Cam Meredith is gone, they cut Victor Cruz, they're gonna be in a game back and forth with Atlanta where they're gonna have to put up some points. I think Kevin White is gonna be absolutely
just fine. And the bright side of this, Cliff is now you've got Mike Evans and DeVante Parker. They're passed thereby. You know they're passed thereby, so you're gonna get them sixteen weeks in a row. Okay. So what I think you do to be quiet, honest, and I think you stand Pat this week I don't think you're gonna get people on the wave a wire that are better than
Kenny Britt, that are better than Kevin White. What you might want to do, though, because now you're gonna have Devanta Parker, you're gonna have Mike Evans who have both are gonna be passed there by. You know what you might want to do is after this week, think about if you could flip Kenny Britt or flip Kevin White and ride with just four whiteouts because two of them are already passed thereby. That could be an interesting way
to handle it. But for this week, I think you're okay with the wide receivers that you're gonna run out there. And thanks so much for the love of out there in Boston. We got a couple more calls. Hey, Bovona, let's put on Jake in Arizona. Jake is out there in Arizona in the desert. He's got a question about his flex play this week. Jake, you're dropping stats over beats with the spitting statistician. What's your question on Fantasy Freestyle?
He um, Actually, it's the flex and RB. Two questions I have I have lady on Bell and I had j G. I is my RB two, okay, and he's going to be out. So, um, who would you start for? Because a lot of rookie you're running backs of m Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Kaream Hunt, and then I also have Ti Montgomery. So who would you put in for your RB two in for your flicks? Because I also have p y Hns, but I don't want to play him, so I took him out and put Doc Baldiman's my
receiver to Okay, thanks for the call. I love your movie putting in Doug Baldwin right there. Listen, First of all, if you've got Levian Belle, you're good to go. You're feeling good. Of the guys you named, I'm riding with Dalvin Cook. I'm riding with Dalvin Cook as my RB two. And the reason why is, like I said before on Monday Night, to play in the Saints. The Saints defense is blunt, guts, trash, it is do do. So I love any opportunity that I can get someone going against
the New Orleans Saints. So Dalvin Cook is definitely in my lineup. As for the other names you said, I think you mentioned McCaffrey, UM, and Kareem Hunt. Okay, out of those guys, I'm gonna go with Kareem Hunt. I know a lot of people love Christian McCaffrey, but I like Kareem Hunt out of the two for this week. And the reason why is I think that this Panther's offense is gonna be very, very interesting in due time.
If you remember, though, my man Cam Newton. Cam Newton has been not healthy for most of the preseason, right Jake, So Cam Newton hasn't had that many that much time to build that chemistry with Christian McCaffrey. I think McCaffrey is gonna be a stud for you later in the season. But they're gonna have to still figure out this new offense that they're trying to do for Carolina about getting the ball out quicker and protecting Cam. I think it might take a little while to get off the ground.
And I also think for some reason, the San Francisco four Day nine has played great Week one of the season with some of their new additions on defense. I like Christian McCaffrey and he's viable to take a screen past seventy five yards and score for you. But given the two, I'm definitely having Dalvin Cooks my RB two and I'm actually going with Kareem Hunt as my flex position there instead of Christian McCaffrey. I want to see how he plays out in that offense before I trust him.
We got one more call. Thank you though for the call Jake in Arizona. I appreciate the love. Um, we got one more call out there. We got g and Callie. He's got a question about his running backs. He's got three and can only start to up. Excuse me, sorry about that. It sounds like g drop him. Sorry, you had to wait a little bit too long to get on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got callers lined up. Gee, if you ever want to hit me up at spitting speeds on Twitter and I'll try and help you out.
It sounds like we got um, do we have any more calls? It sounds like we have Eddie in Arizona. He's got a flex question as well, and Chris is Eddie still on the line? All right, we've got Eddie in Arizona. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle, man, what's your question? All? Hey, what's up man, big fan? I have a flex question? The question is UH for should I start Isaiah crow Al, Jamison Crowder or Eric Decker for my flex uh in Tan team vote for point PPR. Alright, fair enough, thanks
for the call. I appreciate the love. The two running backs you mentioned in my opinion are far better than the two wide receivers that you mentioned. Okay, so I like what you're doing at the running back position. It was Bivona helped me out, he said, Baloo Powell. And who was the other ring back? He said, regardless. I love what you say, all right, but I love Bloo Pow. Okay, I think you definitely like. I like balal Poal a lot in this offense. He's gonna be getting a ton
of the opportunity for the Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets. I don't think Matt Forte is gonna be on the field much. And because you mentioned full point PPR, I love me some balal Pow. Balal power is gonna be a threat in the receiving game. You know, the Jets have nothing at wide receiver. They just signed Jeremy Curly. They also just brought in Jermaine Curse. I think balal pal will also be able to catch a six seven balls and in that PPR format. I like that. I like blow
Pal in your flex spot. I'm sorry I forgot the last other running back you mentioned, but I love me some balal Power. And if you're dealing with balal Pow in your running backspot, I like him better than Time Montgomery. Who is I think someone you named. I love me some balal Power Week one against the Bills. I think he may even lead the Jets in targets and receptions. So I'm going with balal Pal and thanks for the call.
What I wanna do is I want to get into UM one more game, one more game in the early games on Sunday. The one game I want to talk to you about this is Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals game. Okay, I'm big on this Cincinnati side. I do not think that the Baltimore Ravens are a team that is dangerous this year at all, neither on their offense or on their defense. The big question for Cincinnati, as we mentioned a little bit earlier, is what happens in this running
back room. Okay, you have Jeremy's Hill, who's backpracticing, says he's uh. They say he's the starter, but you got Giovanni Bernard as well in the passing game. I think the real answer is Joe Mixon. I think Joe Mixon is the guy that is going to return you value, especially this week. Joe Mixon is listed as on FanDuel, but even cheaper, he's in the five thousands on DraftKings. Joe Mixon is the guy with the potential to break
a forty fifty six yard touchdown. Joe Mixon is the guy that I hope that they use in the goal line. Joe Mixon is the guy that they want to cultivate, that they want to develop, that they want to be the stud for the Cincinnati Bengals. I know it is a crowded backfield, but I like me some Joe mixing, especially in Week one, especially as the guy who could you know, have the potential to have the big play for the Cincinnati Bengals. On the Baltimore side, though, you
need to fade these running backs. Okay, I don't know who the guy is gonna be. I think Terrence West is just a guy. You got Danny woodhead back. He is back practicing. They say he's gonna be healthy. I think that becomes a real big committee. But you don't have the upside like you do with a guy like Mixing in the Baltimore committee. We're talking in Woodhead, we're talking Terrence West. Remember they also, I think, just put
Jeremy Langford on their practice squad. Okay, the potential for a real pop off is Joe Mixon in that game. Stay away from the Ravens, especially Joe Flacco just coming back. We don't know if he's gonna be really in the flow. Joe Mixon is the guy in that game. When we come back, I'm gonna recap a show hard knocks when we got a chance. Uh, they didn't have footage of
Hurricane Irma, but we'll see. It's Day Martinez.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over beats right here at the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. On you boy, Dane Martinez speats, it's betting statistician holding you down. Thanks to everybody who voted on
our Twitter poll. Right now, everybody's still thinking either decision the NFL has made makes sense, thanks to everybody who called. And I'm very excited. Hopefully you're tuning on in tomorrow. Tomorrow we're gonna have CEO of DraftKings. Jason Robbins joined the cipher right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I got time for one more call, and we have Victor in Houston. Thank you for holding so much. Victor, you gotta call. You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's
up man? Hey man? Uh? Yeah, So I had t Y Hilton and I've been listening to you, and he told me to go ahead and bench him. So I'm kind of curious who do I fill with My flex went ahead and moved Golden Tate into my core white uh white out, and so I have like the options is Gillis Lee, Coleman Sprawls. He told me no, Moncrease, Michael Wallace and Tyroll will So I don't know who who was to put him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, and here's the thing, here's the thing, And thanks for
the call, man, I really appreciate it. At some point, even though there's a bad quarterback in Scott Tolzine, at some point you still gotta ride out t Y Hilton. You mentioned Golden Tate, Golden Tate. They're playing the Arizona Cardinals and they got Golden Tate, might have Patrick Peterson on them all day, right, So at some point you gotta go with t Y Hilton. I don't know if you've made that point yet, because you mentioned Tevin Coleman, and I think Tevin Coleman might be your option there.
I think Tevin Coleman is a viable flex in that space. I just gotta tell you, though, the Golden Tate in in that place. You know Patrick Peterson being on him all day, maybe he covers him in like a shadow, and your best option is to kind of grin and bear it with t Y Hilton, but of those options in the flex spot, I like Tevin Coleman. But thank you for the call and thanks for holding so long, Victor. I appreciate it. Hope you got your question in and uh,
Tevin Coleman is the answer. But then again, at some point you may want to just ride with t Y Hilton over Golden Tate. That is a really tough call. These guys are ranked number twenty two and twenty four and my man Jake Seeley's weekly rankings and I trust those Golden Tate with Patrick Peterson on them all day could be a problem. I like Tevin Coleman in the flex spot for you, Thanks for all the calls, Thanks
to everybody voting. Tomorrow, Like I said, we're gonna have Jason Robbins, the CEO of Draft Kings, on with us, and also because it's our last show before football officially gets started, I will give you my official division winners, conference championships, and my pick to win the Super Bowl. You're gonna go on over to my bookie Dot A G and put in those future bets. We're gonna have the Draft Kings CEO, and we will take your callers. One last I wanted to say before we signed off
for the night. I don't know if you've been watching Hard Knocks, but they had the season finale, uh yesterday, and you know they've been trying to make James Winston out to be a leader this entire season, and maybe he will be, but I think it was a little forced.
My m v P of that Hard Knock season, Gerald McCoy, Gerald McCoy buying lunch for everybody with the taco trucks, bringing the little girl on the field to do the dance, getting into it with Ed Hokki Lee asking like, you know, what about the eyes if he should get a flag doing this little stinky leg or the butterfly. I'm gerald McCoy was a natural leader, whereas jamis. It looked a little contrived. They looked a little forced, and always you know the last episode where they do in the cutdown day.
I think it's interesting because this year, remember you go from the ninety all the way down to fifty three. In years past, they used to be that interim step where they go to like seventy five or seventy and I think that's why we've seen such a flurry of trades like the Sheldon richardson trade and a bunch of others. But um, I would say the hardest one for me to see was when they wound up sending Riley Bulla
to the practice squad. This guy nicknamed Joe Dirt. This guy had reveal emotion, understood the playbook, was making all the calls, was hyping up his teammates. It was sad to see Riley Bulla get caught, but it looks like he's gonna stick on the practice squad. I gotta tell you, man, hard knocks it was good, but everybody should fade the Buccaneers. Man. Everybody the public gets on the teams on hard knocks and now they gotta buy. In Week one, they're gonna
be playing sixteen games in a row. I think that could be a problem for the Bucks in the competitive NFC South. Come on back tomorrow, CEO of draftings, my predictions for conference champions and the Super Bowl, and your calls dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy free style new boy Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician Peace
