Speaker 1

I would rather play with ten people and just get penalized all the way until we got to do something else, rather than play with eleven when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team. Come on, dropping stacks over feet is the fantasy free stuff. He's coming in with the heto. It's the fantasy free step, got strong takes and tips. It's the fantasy freestyle. You win championships at the fantasy free stuff. Dropping stacks socle feats, It's the fantasy free style.

He's coming with the heat. It's the fantasy free step. Got strong take and tips at the Fantasy free style. You win championships with that fantasy free style. Yeah, yeah, you know what it is. We are Rocks and Speeds in the building as always, Fantasy Freestyle coming at you on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network week for you know, it's starting to get a little bit fall like, you know, getting real excite it about football. Yo. How you feeling Rocks, yo? Man?

You know I'm feeling pretty good man. Scratching temple because it's not that simple these days anymore. In the NFL. We've seen three weeks of action as Speeds just said, Yo, it's it's pumpkin spice Latta time a loop time. Throw you girls out there going to the bar on Sunday. Okay, okay, like give me like yo. But honestly, it has not been a good week for some of you. If you owned, say Dez Bryant, we are getting yeah for show a fracture in his knee. I was very down on debts

coming into the season. You didn't remember rankings. I had him very low and yo, but what's this thing? He didn't want to go to the facility to get the m R Ride, don't you said about the new you know, like, what is this man? This is the same sort of diva nonsense. I will say last I heard on this. He just saw Dr James Andrews. Those are the words, three words. But he got what he got doctor, incredible news,

great news. You've never seen news like the speeds and apparently you know, hey, if you're gonna get bad news from Dr James Andrews, that's actually getting good news. That's a sort of doctor you'd like to get it for. I guess so, I mean, it's a week with a hairline fracture in your niece? What is the world coming to it. I don't like I used to like mess people up. Apparently this is a violent game. Apparently this

is a violent game. Yo. You gotta think Dak Prescott has been zoned in on Cole Beasley for the first few weeks. Um so that like his Cole Beasley? What a white out to white out three? Cole Beasley is a floor play, you know? I mean, I feel Cole Beasley's best days will look like the Antonio Brian Street, you know, five for fifty. Maybe he'll keep that going for a while. I don't see splash players. I don't see touchdowns. But let's keep going around the league. We

talked about this last week. We talked about how Jordan Howard was probably going to surpass Jeremy Langford. I believe I shouted Jeremy Lankford as a from Gayzey and said good about it took Howard. Hey, I hope you did that before you had to spend some fab on him or use a waiver priority. But if you did that, I wish I would have Blankford. Now though it's now out, so it's a much easier decision for the high Ankles. Gonna be a few weeks for a running back. Man,

I'm talking it's gonna be. It can link. It's gonna be an opportunity for Howard to get the looks he deserves. I mean, I really don't see Chicago's offense be good enough go to sustain a commitment to the run unless he's making place well, they may have an opportunity. Like I also like Howard in the passing game four catches last week and now as the undisputed uh first running back there for that team. If he's available in your league, you need to go get him. Now. That's what we

do on the Fantasy Freestyle right off the top. We let you know here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network for listen. Listen though we're bumping on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network these days. If you've been listening to us on iTunes, you know, if you've been subscribing to us, what you need to do is move on over subscribe to us on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, on their audio boom, on the app, on on Twitter, or on Yeah. Man, we're gonna be sending out links for all that in

your future. Y'all got a little bit of a great pier Blue trying to migrate everyone over to get that new hot stuff. You're one more, one more, yo man. One of my favorite players young Shane Vereen. I don't know if he's that young anymore. He was one of my favorite players since he was young. Shane unclear drafted him way too early back in the day. Shane vere was Finally it's a small back guy getting a chance to be there. You're getting you know, and he's someone

who's always flashed. I remember he scored three touchdowns in a playoff game for the Packs back in the day. He's always kind of an elite and back and in that offense, that back in the offense, you he was gonna get some targets. He was definitely getting targets. And with Jennings, yeah he was getting So here's the thing, who do you think is the one who steps up here? So so again he's just sum it up for everyone out. So three out for the year. Yeah, yeah, triceps, I

are ouch. That's a little good. That's good they do when you did these. So So here's my thing. I think there's two ways you could think about there's three ways you could think about the team about Some people think it's gonna wind up be at Orleans Dark Box, and I think or Lean's Dark Walk. What do you think about or Lean's Dark Walk, because there's other people that might get involved here. What do you think about

dark World? You know? And I feel like the Giants running back situation is not necessarily been one that's pretty terribly conductive from a fantasy perspective. In the jails, they also they'll have a completely brutal short term matchup in terms of who they're going to be facing. I mean, you're looking at a lot of tough run, defensive minutes already this week with Minnesota and really doesn't get that

much easier. So as a short term play again, you know, I would really keep expectations limited in terms of Orleans Dark Walk making an impact. What I do like, though, is this Paul Perkins interesting? You like Paul Perkins. They are saying, he's get that we've just been acted special team. So I'm gonna tell you, let me throw someone else out there, and that's Bobby Rainey. The only reason Bobby Rainey was even still on this roster is because he was the straight back up to Verein in that assid

catch advassity. That's the role he played in Tampa Bay for the last couple of years in a in an admirable fashion to be quite on Charles Sims pops right, And so I'm saying, like when now with vereen out, I think, um, I think that kind of player is going to be rainy because the dark wall is a much more between the tackles kind of back. Let's keep moving. There's still yet one more injury that I think we

need to discuss. And you know this always happened, and you know Alshon Jeffrey on the injury report again and with hamstring in addition to his knee, in addition to his knee. I've been telling you about the soft tissue injuries of Alshon Jeffrey between white Outs, like him between white Outs and like Eric Decker. They're now saying, um, they're concerned about his show. What's se moon Maybe Quincy he Moonwa might get some opportunities with breat To Marshall

kind of banged up as well. I don't know what other white Outs Rocks might you see that you're interested in. I would tell you to look towards San Diego where they play against that Orleans Saints past defense with Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin. Where where else could you go for white outs if you have say Andal Sean, Jeffery

des Brian and Eric Decker. Well, I'm gonna just kind of I'm gonna zig where you're trying to get me his egg, you know where I'm not going to be going, and I may have been hoping I'll be able to go soon. Josh Gordon. Oh that's true, yo, Josh Gordon shout to him if he needs to actually take care of himself and is making an intelligent life decision. I hope that's what it is. That's to have last chance, right show. I'm saying, though, like, where were you with

this like six months ago? Family, Yeah, you have two weeks away. You have been through this, you know, and you know everybody deals with their own demons. Sitting here in jaking his twenty four hours, Middle of Light shouts to Middle with Light. But they are who we thought they were, and we got about talk. The timing just seems really really bad, and you know the early reports of him that there's no imminent suspension. I think this really elevates Terrell Prior into more of a number one role.

And when Corey Pullman comes back from his hand, and he may have even dropped in your league. He is looking to be a lot more attractive than he would have been having it compete with Gordon for targets. Yeah. Absolutely, I actually think the Browns are completely done with Gordon. I think this was the last two. So you know, as you know, you would think that Prior and Calton when he comes back, are going to be um, you know, the primary targets. But this is this really an offense

you want? Will it be point back comes back? I mean you've been hiring know they are gonna be down. They are gonna be probably throwing it. I don't know. Terrell Prior though explosive. We gave you that. I was giving you that all last week on shot Fallers before he popped off, I said he was gonna play on We talked about this. He did really good and there was fourteen targets he got last week against Miami. There's

no reason that won't change. As quote Kessler will like he still be quarterback of Cleveland this week as they go to Washington, and they were. They did, however, open as nine and a half under dogs, and that's a lot of points. Though I don't know, maybe the under dog and howell um listen on Fantasy Freestyle. We respect how y'all come after us and you'll be giving us your questions. You know, we got a mail bag we want to do. We haven't done it in a couple of weeks. You know, you can hit us up on

our mail bag. You can get in touch with us so many different ways. You can holler at us on Twitter, at Fantasy Freestyle, leave off the E. You can holler at us at the Gmail Fantasy Freestyle at Gmail. You can holler at us if you get up down on that sports grew. There's so many ways you can get ross and ice take. We got a couple of questions that we've gotten, you know, and and we said, uh, we said, you can actually be at San Gennaro, right, Yes, I was at San Gennari. Sis did this one? Did

this one come from San Gennaro? I see, I see it written on a napkin staying with some powdered sugar. No, no, no, this is no zeppelie. No zeppelie, no zeppelie. Our first questioning your mail bag Fantasy Freestyle. We got a question from Mike all in l a shout to the White Captain. He's got a trade proposition. He already has a great white out core with Antonio Ground. He's already got Wullie

Sneed and Sterling Shepard. He's wonder he should trade his depth, which is Steve Smith and DeShawn Jackson to acquire Brandon Marshall. Speeds and Rocks are in agreement. We say, yes, go make this deal. Brandon Marshall, the machine is still a wide out one, wide out two. He can win your weeks. Um. Those guys you mentioned before, DeShawn Jackson, Steve Smith, they're flashing. They can't win you weeks. They're not really gonna do

things like that. You don't know when they're gonna pop. We say, Mike from l A, I I think so right. Rocks and Brandon Marshall as your new wide receiver to set to get it every week, no doubt. We got another question. This is from Maddie G. Shout to Mattie G. He wants to know Listen he he actually took the plunge and drafted Russell Wilson um early in his draft because he thought he could just set it or forget it. You know, I thought he was getting those rushing yards.

Now with the ankle injury, with the knee spring, he's not looking that good with that offensive line. That offensive line traveling west to east this week for the one o'clock to start against the New York Jets front which is tied for fourth in the NFL in sacks going after him. Um, he's wondering if he should start looking for opportunities to stream or to back him up, or

if he should ride with Russell Wilson. How many rosaries does he have to do for you to make it think he'll be okay here in New York this week? I don't know, man. I mean, I feel like his confirmation name was inconsistent this season, right right? I think so as well, especially when that when he doesn't have that rushing ability the ankle bang up. The line has proven to be absolutely terrible and they were lucky to

be able to establish the run last week. However, against the Jets, they're not gonna be able to do that. He's not gonna have mobility. I do not like Russell Wilson at all against the Jets this week. Maddie. I don't know the exact specifications of your lead, but if you're even able to pick up a guy like Tyrod Taylor or some one like that, I would go with him this week over Russell Wilson, and the game planet's going to be designed to make sure that they get

the w not maximize his fantasy points. I told you. I've said this before on air on Shop Boilers on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I've said that I actually think the prudent move is to rest Russell Wilson this week. Rests him on your fantasy team. No, rest him if you're the Seattle Seahawks. Like I said, this weird west to East travel. The Seahawks have a bye next week in week five. I think if you get the two weeks there, then you get a better shot at him

and the Seahawks making a run. Here on the mail bag on Fantasy Freestyle, we got one more question that we want to answer. You know, this is from Drew out there in Arizona. He's got a monster deal I have there in Arizona. He's got David Johnson, he's got Jobbers Landry, and he's got Christian Michael lucked into see Mike. He's wondering if he should flip that for check this out. Big trade for Julio Jones and let Tavis Murray and Charles Sims and Tom Brady coming back up after suspension

this week. I'm gonna tell you might take real quick. First, Rocks, I say he should not do it. And here's why. He also says that he's three and oh and that this is a PPR league. Okay, the fact that this is a PPR league. Mace Jarvis Landry, a b C, is tied for first in the NFL with twenty four catches. Ask got thirty targets, tied with Antonio Brown in receptions at the top of the NFL. I think he is

a beast. You keep him. Also, when you talk about Ottavius Murray and Charles Sims, I think Charles Smim's value severely diminishes over time when Doug Martin comes back in a few weeks. And also with Lottavius Murray, the Oakland Raiders, I think wants a running back like Committie the Tavius Murray, so they like DeAndre Washington. They even like Jalen Rochard. Both of those guys got six carries last week. Tavius Mary look good again, got a touchdown but only thirty

seven yards on ten carries. I'm telling you those guys will decrease with value, whereas if you got even Johnson and Sea Mike, I think they will retain their value. You're looking for the future because you're three and oh that's it for Drew from hours older. Those are some questions for the mail bag, yo, but it doesn't matter. We do not stop here on fantasy Freestyle, Rocks and speeds giving it to you. You know what it is,

give it up, Rocks, Yo, shout to our listeners. Keeping the post office in business, sending us these letters, sending us these emails different ways. Yo, Well weed your We'll wed your questions. Will your questions on, Yo, You're gonna get some shots son, Yo, shout to everybody listening. You're about to pop it off with a bunch of these breakdown to the games. This week's gonna be back in a second, right speed, So no doubt we're gonna go

game by game. Given what it is. When we come back right here, face to west north to that news Roc and for you to do KFC NFCS, we can win your league and win that cash. You'll be right back. Cannot play with them. Can I win with them? Cannot coach with them? Can't do it the playoffs. Don't talk about playoffs. You're kidding me. Playoffs so we can win a game. Yeah, we're backing at it again Fantasy Freestyle Rocks and Speeds here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

It's week for We're gonna go around the league and look at a couple of games. Tell you what we're looking at, what we think you should said you should start to help you win your league and win that cash. That's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. You know, first of all, interesting though, I do want to make this point. Get up early on Sunday because we don't want to talk about it because it's an ugly game. It is Coach Jaguars, but it is taking place early

in London. Okay, So make sure if you have any of your guys in that game and you uh, you know, you don't know what you want to play, if you want to play them or not, you gotta have to make that move because these games early in London. Uh this week the Jags. That the fact though team the Jags are always in London, man, and you know I want to shout out my boy and neumatic headcount records.

My boy Mr Brown got that beat for days dropped into You know, I know people in England when something is popping in London, I tell them to like check it out. I have said absolutely nothing to them about this Jaguars, Colts Gamp. Well. The only thing you need to check out in this game is potentially a R fifteen. But one game we do want to get into a little bit is the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans,

Yo Rocks. What you say about this game? A f C South game after the Texans coming off the news of the J. J. Watt injury, He's going on. I R you know, I want to hear your take on this game, But I also want to know do you think the winner of this division is going to be over five? Yeah? I mean, you know, you said to me a couple of weeks back, Houston is a good team. I thought they were when but they just lost the

three time defending defensive player of the year. They do they did, and they do and they did and they do. And I don't think that Houston is a great team. I think Houston, though, is a sort of team that can pretend enough to go nine and seven and get their butts kicked in the first round and say always you know, and a new quarterback, fancy new running back, you know, Will Fuller, who's showing up. But the defense was always going to kind of be the key to

that team. And without J J. Watt, that's a huge disappointment. What I will say is that I think the Lamar Miller breakout game is coming. You've seen him have a ton of touches. You've seen him actually really not do that much with them. And I know it's kind of not cool in the fantasy community to throw shade on Lamar Miller. If it's all free Lamar and he's he's gonna blow up. And you know, I owned shares of Lamar Miller my most important leagues. But he hasn't really

done much yet. There haven't been splash plays. He's second in the NFL with seven four carries, He's fourth in the NFL h yard And that's not what you expected from him to this point. You expected a lot more receptions. You also expected splash plays. I've watched him play, He's looked really really average, gone down on first contact a lot and obviously he hasn't scored a touchdown. I think

this is the week that those things change. If you're Lamar Miller owner, and you've resisted those by low offers you've been getting from your league mates, you're about to get paid off. I think I think he's gonna get about a hundred total yards against the Tennessee defense that's actually been really, really tough against the running back position.

I think he's gonna get two touchdowns. And I think everyone who drafted Lamar Miller with those stupid early high picks like first rounds can take a sigh of relief after this Noons doubt. I agree with you, Rox, I think um, I actually think that Bill O'Brien is going to continue to feed Lamar Miller. That's why they signed him. You know, he never got this kind of usage in Miami. I'm telling you with twenty, with seventy four, Harry's already

in three weeks. I think they are going to continue to use him, especially if rock Oswiler continues to perform like he did last week, going nineteen thirty three, one touchdown in two picks trash. Also, you have to realize, though the Houston Texans coming off that mini by after losing to the Patriots on Thursday Night Football in the previous week. So I liked them at home on the Tennessee side hashtag exotic smash mouth. Will they be able

to get to do it? Though, here's the question. Last week, they weren't able to do it because game flow just didn't allow them to and Mariota turned the ball over three time. Mariota's QWBR last week was three point six. He's averaging to turnovers a game. That's no good. He's not doing any show if Tennessee is not the kind of team that can come from behind. But here's the thing. While the Houston defense is fifth in the NFL, giving up only two hundred and seventy seven yards per game,

they just lost their heart and soul. They also have Brian Cushing, who is out as one of their other stars. I'm intrigued by this game in a division matchup. I think Houston ultimately does win this game and win this division. But six and a half points, I've seen it. I think that's too much. I like Tennessee, um if you give the point, and I do, however, think that DeMarco Murray will continue his strong start um when sixteen carries for a hundred and fourteen yards last week, I think

he tops a hundred yards again in this game. We go to another game, the Detroit Lions and Jim Bob Cooter against the Chicago Bears in Chicago of Brian Hoyer gonna try and get the job done as Jim Bob Cooter, Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions coming in. Matthew Stafford one of the best quarterbacks in Fantasy so far, the second highest quarterback in Fantasy through three weeks, depending on

your settings. That has always check your setting that that's what's gonna happen when you got when you got your wide receiver going out for two hundred yards over the top Marvin Jones, Mega, who cal what you know? And I'm still skeptical long term, but you know, Stafford has really looked pretty good in two of three games spreading the ball around to his wide receivers. I really seeing that.

You know, that's the game of Marvin Jones's life. But he's been getting a twenty yard game on every other catch this season. That is big things. You've heard some some rumblings that Golden Tate's gonna be more involved. I don't believe it. Golden Tate has been involved, which just hasn't done anything with his involvement. I think you will continue to see those Eric Ebron's role continuing to grow. Stafford trusts him in the red zone. I think it's only a matter of time until he pop pops off.

I like him in this game. He's getting more and more healthy. Let's call it five seventy and a touchdown. In terms of the passing game, I know Speed's is really really high on the big back and he's gonna get into that later, but I actually think that Theo Riddick is a decent play in this game just because of the passing game role. I think that Detroit is probably gonna take control of this one. You'll see that big back Washington getting some carries late, but they seem

really like they want to give Theo Riddic carricks. I don't think that's a great idea, but cool am I to argue with Jim Bob Couder exactly Yeo, And remember, you know, first of all, Rocks, I've been saying this for so long, and I want to think about this philosophically one more time. This comes back to Megatron not being there. I told you in previous years Matthew Stafford locked onto Megatron and Pulp force fed him the ball, and that is no longer the case. You have so

many different options now in Detroit. Between Marvin Jones, who leads the NFL Crazy leads the NFL with four hundred and five receiving yards through three weeks, a three more yards than a second in the NFL. Between him, Golden Tate, Eric Ebron, and Kwan Bolden, theo ritic. I think all of those are options, and matt Stafford is doing it. I think his his total remains top three in the NFL,

eighty five yards through three games. But on we're also, like I said, we're gonna talk about the big back like you called them a little bit later on in our Diamonds in the rough and food gazes. We're gonna find out which one I think he is. The same thing could be said in my opinion for the Chicago back Jordan Howard. We talked about him in the injury segment at the top. We're gonna mention him again. I'll

tease that for later. What I will say though, is I think queer in the passing game, garbage time as a whole. I'll put them in a little bit of that game flowing genius category, which will also get into a bit later. Jeffrey's got, you know, the injuries. You know, you always hear the way with him. You know, we talked about that, but still quietly. He's already averaging ninety yards a game. But he's not gonna be on the field. Bro, He's not gonna be on the field. That's the issue.

What I've been saying it for a why I think the contract here, yes, the best of him. Chicago, they're playing these injury games with John Fox. You know that they've been doing that. They've been playing everything up. I think Jeffrey suits up. I think, you know, for a player of his history, you can see why the media, the liberal media, wants to read more into it. But I think he's gonna be fine on this game. I think you're gonna see Quoyer throwing the ball a lot downfield.

Kevin White has a proven he's been able to do anything with it. I think Jeffrey's gonna actually have a decent game in this Hi hi yo, you know, check it out. You know, if this is Fantasy Freestyle Rocks and Speeds on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and you know you could also catch me. Dame Martinez feeds the spitting statistician on shot callers every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from seven a a p m. Here on the Fantasy

Sports Radio Network. And you know, on the shot callers some people on Wednesdays and Fantasy it's known as waiver Wire Wednesday. You're ross on shot callers on Wednesday, we do Fettie wopped Wednesday. And one of the things I point out of the trap games, and there's a trap game I want to talk about a little bit, and that is the Denver Broncos going to the East Coast

to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know it all sets up for the Super Bowl champion three and old Denver Broncos should go into an inconsistent Tampa Bay. But for some reason, I think Jamis will keep on chucking it. Sure that Denver secondary main make some plays, but I think Jamis is still a decent play in volume. He threw the ball over fifty times last week, over four hundred yards last week. I like Cameron break as a fan duel play when those cornerbacks are on the

wide house and probably effective. The Broncos are known to be able to give it up to the tight end, and that might be Cameron Bread with a cheap fan duel price. But the other thing is I think this just sets up to the Denver Broncos to have a trav game. And I don't know if Trevor Simeon, the young kid, can go win on the road in back to back games that would be at Cincinnati and then not conference road game on the East Coast at Tampa. For some reason, I don't like this spot for the

defending champions. What do you think about this game? Rocks? You know, I respect your opinion, but I also think that we've seen enough of this good Jamis bad Jamie breakdown, and you're assuming that you're gonna see good Jamis through four quarters against the Denver defense that has shown an ability to get after even it's gonna be good Jamis. But even on volume last week he won thirty six of fifty eight for four D and six yards. Nobody

knew about it because lightning was straightened. And I think though that Denver is a much different defense than a championship defense. I also saying game. I mean, you know, again, I respect your opinion, but what I think that Denver is gonna shut down the passing game. You saw Mike Evans against l A. He doesn't have nearly as good cornerback play, basically turning seventeen targets into nothing I see in a fishing game from him again, unless volume, Denver

just doesn't let you get beaten. Uh doesn't, doesn't do, not allow, does not allow you to beat them through the air. And honestly, like I feel you on break Bread is I think the only player I'd feel comfortable playing. And what I'll say is like Denver is a team that's shown inability after last week to make it happen in the past game when they shut down the run and Cincinnati did, That's what Tampa basically does. And I really think Trevor will probably have an inconsistent game, may

see a pick. You know, I don't think the yardage total will be great, but I think you'll probably see about two d and twenty five yards. And I think Emmanuel Sanders or Marius Thomas will have a big game. It's really tough to tell who which one of them, you can't. So that's what I would guess Emmanuel Sanders if I had to, But I wouldn't be surprised up to Marius had a touchdown, and uh, you know, I

respect the Trap game thing. I just don't really think the Tampa's there, you know, this game at the same time next year, feel you a hundred percent. I just don't think Tampa Bay is there yet on hither the defense or the offense to consistently be decent, no doubt. You know, one or two more games we gotta get into. The next one is the Los Angeles Round. Um going

into division matchup to the Arizona Partals, Yo, Rocks. You talk about Sarson Tomer all the time after that horrible performance in Buffalo last week, four picks he had, Um, are you are you nervous about Carson and what many people thought were Super Bowl contender Arizona Cardinals. You didn't expect the Arizona Cardinals to be one and two, certainly having lost to uh, you know, to Buffalo coming into

this one. But what I'll say is that after the meltdown towards the end of last season, when his finger was hurt after the horrible playoff game. You know, all the Colons, you know, you you saw shades of that last week in complete meltdown on the road, and I think, you know, part of that was one of those picks. You know, Michael Floyd ran completely the wrong route. But Carson is not driving the ball the way that he

did last year. They're not playing with and again. And I hate this term, but it does mean something any semblance of swagger. He basically looks like someone if you're reading for someone. He looks like he's about to throw a pick. You know, I watched Carson, you know, sometimes in the huddle. I watched him come to line and I'm like, I'm losing two points on this play. And that's not the way that they look last year. Larry Fitzgerald has been a godsend. David Johnson has been a godsend.

I do believe that once John Brown gets a little bit healthier, the offense as a whole will get better and he'll start stretching the field a bit, because Michael Floyd has been garbage. But honestly, he had he had three or fifty yards both times he played the Rams last year they were in St. Louis, but it was a very similar stout defense Bard. I think he's gonna be I think he's gonna be okay in this one. But if it's a complete disaster like last week, you

know it is time to be seriously worked. All right, this is the last chance, says Rocks. One more point I want to give you on that Arizona cardinal statement. Unfortunately, this is something that may not get better. Bruce Arians as a guy who has always traditionally like to go down the field that takes time. The out the line of the card rate point has not been given Carson Palmer that much time. Carson Palmer in his age thirty six seasons has been just standing back there and has

been getting hit up. Rocks. You know about that age thirties, sixth season coming up for you in fact, and you don't have you have to make moves. It's not as easy as it used to be. And I crippling surgery exactly, and so like like Carson Palmer, I have on the a c L and I can tell you you know, it's different. Maybe maybe maybe he's hitting the cliff like

Tony Romo was getting old. You never know. We talked about as a human being like, you know, hey, when you get older, so maybe they can fall off the cliff right away. I'm not sure this could be get off early instead of get off lad and Speeds. But I would also say, is that other than maybe one year in Cincinnati when he had Chad Johnson, Ocho Cinco and Kush men Zada, that's only two wide receivers. By the way, he was never really an elite fantasy quarterback

until last year. He was always a guy who had some nice arm strength, was kind of the middle of the pack guy, kind of a rich man's Jake Cutler, and I always felt that he was over drafted a bit this year based on what he did in the Arians offense with those elite talented wide receivers. And I think it's quite possible that the reality of Carson Palmer this year is q B twelve to QB fifteen, not that QB four to QB seven that people drafted a mass. Well, we will keep an eye on that Rocks and Speeds

on the fantasy freestyle. That's said, though, I do believe the Arizona Cardinals do come out and make a statement this game against division rival Los Angeles Rams. I don't think the Rams are good enough team to win on the road two weeks in a row. Absolutely fool gazzy. Like I said, Case Keenom is not good. You're doing that. Jeff Fisher doesn't know what to do. He's above five hundred. You know when does that happen? Yo? Yo? When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, what we're gonna do is,

we're gonna give you our trademark segments. We're gonna give you those diamonds in the rough and those fool ways. We're gonna also give you those game flow geniuses. Four Week four, This is Rocks and Speeds Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio networking Rocks before we go to break and you spell pushman zada, h oh you We'll be right back third and four and looks into the Nicolas Son, Prince, SISTERO and the secondary. Hey, somebody is running on the field. So I'm broof ball and a

half and a red shirt. How he takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by the fifty, he's at the thirty. He's bear chested and banging his chest. Hell, he runs the opposite away. Give runs to the fifty. Give runs of the forty. The guy is drunk, but there he goes the twenty. They're chasing up. They're not gonna get up. Breathing his arms pear chested. Somebody's topping that. Here comes the blue Yoga, they got him. Here comes Holy They tackling up the party yard line. Yeah Yeah,

Fantasy Freestyle. We're back here on a fantasy sports radio network. Rocks and Speeds. We gave you a look at a bunch of games, told you who we liked, when we didn't like what we expect and yo, this time what we do, We're gonna give it to you hard. For one of our segments, we call the games flow Genius. Right, Rocks said, as a son, Basically, this is where we break down for you why we think certain players will either be affected positively or sometimes negatively based on the

specific game script. That means running, passing defense, offense splits with the defense gives you the offense is trying to do and with no further ado, Ao, Speeds, who's your number one game flow genius this week? Well, listen to my game flow genius is Jimmy Graham. We had a Jimmy Graham sight game last week he uh said, six catches for a hundred yards. I think he even got into the end. Sure did. And listen, we were talking

about it before. With the injuries, Um, I am not I do not think that the Seahawks running game will uh, you know, get up to snuff in this game. And so they're gonna have to go other places. And I don't think Russell Wilson will have time to go down the field of the pub. So I think he's gonna role over the middle of a bunch to JIMSI Gram. I think Jimmy Graham is getting healthy, becoming a bigger

and bigger part of that offense. And uh, they're also playing the Jets, and the Jets a notoriously bad for defense against the tight end. They tried to draft during lee first round agat of Ohio State to come back that exact thing at a coverage linebacker, investing a first round pick on it, acknowledging it that it was a weakness. Usually you gotta figure in that division when you play Gronkowski too time to see you're you're surging for solutions exactly.

So that has been a stride and true way to go against him. So I like the tight end of this situation. He had a reverence sighting Jimmy Graham's my game flow genius. Uh, you're staying with the same position though, Yeah, man, uh, you know. Similarly to Jimmy Graham, Travis Kelsey is also coming off a really really big week. He lit up the Jets, and I really like the game script to work in his favor in this one. He's playing as

a Pittsburgh team that's gonna be at home. You've got to assume with Levian Bell backed gonna write some of their offensive bowls, and that's a team that's gonna be putting some points on the board. You know that said Kansas City is going to meet the throw. Pittsburgh is one of those teams that really really funnels the ball to the passing game I'm saying. I'm talking about in terms of what they forced. They forced the Chiefs, they're

gonna force their opponent to do. Pittsburg is pretty stout against the run, but they face twice as many running and that's by design. That's by design. You know, they're pretty stout up front. So I really see Alex Smith needing to chuck the ball when you know when when they're behind to try and get back in this game. And honestly, you know, Alex Smith, he's not taking a lot of a lot of shots downfield, even though Pittsburgh

made be susceptible to that. But they're also susceptible to is that yack and Kelsey has been a yack monster throughout his career. Know, they're gonna throw him a bubble screen. You'll see him down the sea and you'll see him running crossing routes. I really think that he's going to improve upon the seven targets he's seen in every game so far this season. Probably see a bunch of stuff you catch up time when they're down in the second half, and I think even have some schemes laid out for

him in the first half. I'm looking for about seven or eight catches called a hundred yards and a touchdown for Travis Kelsey and a lot of that because he's a game flow jus. Yo, He's like Menzo over here. That's what Rocks has given you right there at the tight end position. We gave you two different people. But yo, listen, honestly, listeners to the fantasy freestyle. You know that if Rocks and Speeds agree, you need to take it to the bank because we exactly right there winning your league and

winning that cash. Hello, you play to win the game. That's why we played the game, just like Herm Edwards says, you know what it is and we agree with our next game flow. Genius Rocks and I both think that you can do work this week with LGBT Legarrett pass the one the New England Patriots at the Buffalo Bills this week. And we don't really know who's gonna be

playing quarterback for the Patriots. Will it be Jacoby Brissette if it was, look at what their model was in the one game that he started present only through for a hundred and nine yards. That was all with Garrett blond in that game. And if it's Jimmy Garoppolo, they're saying he can still not really make throws. Yeah, exactly, and I think he showed it a throw fan. And I gotta tell you with Tom Brady is still on

the horizon coming back the Patriots this year. And you know, give credit, I guess what credit is due to Bill Belichian. He has really turned them into a run first offense with Gary Blant through three weeks he leads the NFL with seven nine carries, leads the NFL with two hundred

and nine five yards through three weeks. I still think the Patriots are in a position where they're going to have to try to grind out and control the game in a divisional matchup against a team that you know is really on the verge of unraveling and potentially even firing their coach mid season. You heard it here first on Fantasy himself. Rex Ryan will be the first coach to use his job in the NFL, maybe even mid season.

I'm telling you right now, maybe the Patriots putting up a big number and then having to run it out with the Garrett one with a breakaway touchdown at the end of the game. He's my game flow genius. Rocks concurge. What's say you box? Yeah, I mean, I will say I will say that. One of the issues I have because I don't really own any block shares anywhere except in the crib and you know that three couple of Cubs. But we'll say though, is that it's seventy five hundred.

He's pretty expensive on fan duel. The price has risen a lot. It's a little much for me. I see him around a hundred ten yards in a touchdown. If you think he's getting that second touchdown though, or he's really gonna go nuts with your yards, he's worth a second touchdown. Garrett Blunt does not have any Fantasy points yet from receiving this entire season. Did you know that I might have been able to guess that they did not. They can not use him in that way. That's the

James White, you know. I'm just I'm saying it's crazy because that does, to a certain extent, really limit his ceiling. You know, he's kind of a floor play and one that's gonna be touchdowns depended to go nuts. But in terms of game flow, you couldn't ask for it to set up better than Legarrett Blunt. And that's why he's our consensus game flow genius. You know, check it out, Rocks, dollars are actually falling from the sea from the ceiling right now where me and Speeds are recording. I'm saying

you need to get it. You need to get that on get that gift. That would be our gift right there on Fantasy Freestyle. Yo. You mentioned before Rocks, I was in fact at the San Gennaro festival last weekend, and uh, yep, there was some two dazzes. There was some fool gazes. I saw Tony Danz up, Tony Tony Danza at the San Ginello. That's them serving up the sausage of peppers, the saucie. He really was, he truly wasn't. There was like a middle aged women looking on bowie

eyed at him when he was serving the saucige. I'm telling you, mus you know, to food gazing. You're looking from Crusius fake, but yo, that brings us to our fantasy freestyle diamonds in the rough and food gazing. Oh man, forget about it. I'm just gonna forget about Tony Danza. And I'm also gonna hit you right quick with a fool gazzy someone you should forget about. Who's starting this week,

Christine Michael. I'm telling you, going back to that Jet Seattle game, you guys must be bugging out because I told you last week that he was a game flow gene just I said this might actually be his national breakout. Last week. Oh I'm sorry, that was just my shoulder topping. As we forget myself or we're patting myself on the Bank. What I will say is that the Jets are not about to pushing ground front Russell Wilson is not offensive. Jets are only also allowing eighty nine yards of men

to opposing running backs. Christine Michael's average over five yards to carry. He is not going to even come close to approaching that. It's nice to look like you're shot out of a cannon, but that doesn't work when you go right into a brick wall. And that's what you're gonna see from him this week at seventy dollars. He is way, way, way too expensive on Fenn Doell. I don't even really like him as more than a fringe RB to this week in PPR League, because you know

he's not involved in the passing game. So see Mike fool gazing forget a Bob, I'm looking at Tony Dan's a fool gaze forget about a Yo. I have a similar theory for my first fool gazing my personal years and Shady McCoy the Buffalo goals go to Ingland. You know what, though Belichick is really good at that's taking world best, not hand cutting the speed. That's sure. He definitely is good at that. Live as well, but in this situation, there is really no option other than Shady

McCoy yo, especially with Sammy Watkin playing. But I think it's a decoy wall and will be for much of the rest of the season. In fact, they're going to try and eliminate him. I know that he had seventeen for one, ten and two touchdowns last week, but that was like the Bill Super Bowl. That was Rex Ryan getting ball ra Rock after they fired the offensive coordinator, new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn, former Runnings back, the coach obviously wanting to feed the ball. But yo, Bill Belichick

and the Patriots are on that. And the Patriots actually had a sleepy good defense, and I think that has been understated in men's games so far because Tom has been out and when the Patriots running out backup quarterbacks after backup quarterback, I think the new defense will shine again shutting down Lashawn McCoy, put Rashaw McCoy down for less than sixty yards, does not get into the end zone, and no more than two catches. I do not think he will put up ten fantasy points. I think he

is not a good value for you this week. You're obviously starting him in season long but not yet best this week against the Pats from Gaze from Get about It, eight rocks, You got any other speeds calling Shot? I'm telling you that's how we doing. That was like Sean McCoy fooling, just like I do want Shot calls on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every Monday, Wednesday and Friday seven to eight and have allege I really liked Michael Floyd a lot of times for like a hot second

for like three or four weeks. All Michael Floyd has ever been is an enigma, is in a riddle. He now he's out of the protocol. They let him out of the dark room. Man, he got them, He's got That's where he found the enigma, wrapped in a conundrum. Mac And what else was it wrapped in? Ross? Yeah, I mean I think it was. It was wrapped in

some sort of some sort of globpop wrappers. You want to sucker if you're starting Michael Floyd at this point, he's been basically the least efficient wide receiver in the entire NFL. He's getting targets, He's yet to have more than four catches a game this season. He ran the wrong route on Sunday leading to one of Carson Palmer's four that's right for interception. Carson and Fitzy who not not the plays, not the pays, Larry Fitzgerald on the

eliar Fargerald something, Who's gonna be, Who's gonna be? Commanding targets? I think also you've seen John Brown playing more snaps as he recovers from that concussion, and you hear the beat writers saying that Jeron Brown really should be in those three wide sets as as an actual, realistic deep threat, while Michael Floyd gets it figure it out. Honestly, I don't think that there is any way that you can

possibly start him this week. It's impossible to even consider him for sixty UD dollars on fan duel, and I think that's crazy for a guy who, at the end at the end of the year last year down the Stretch was looking like a clear cut wide receiver one as the primary option of the best passing offense in the NFL at Arizona has not shown close to that this year. And the talent is out there, but no, no, no, you cannot do it full gazing, so thick forget about him.

Michael Brown, No thankful gaz how do you know what's to food gazing? Should fake? I know a fl gazing, Yo, forgot about it. I got one more fool gazzy for him. I go to the quarterback position and I'm looking at the guy who is yo right at the top of the quarterback so far in a lot of categories, and that's Matt Ryan on the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan, topper three quarterback in the yards and fantasy points. And I'm

calling him out as a fool gazzy this week. And I think, in fact, not only a fool gayzy this week. But Yo, if you're listening to the fantasy freestyle right now, you need to sell Matt Ryan when you still can. Okay, let me tell you something. His first three games were against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay gave up thirty shot points to Los Angeles Rams. And then he also played with the New Orleans Saints. The New Orleans Saints of that one of the worst as defenses in recent give you

the best night of your life if you're an offensive player. Also, he's also played against the Oakland Raiders. The Oakland Raiders have given up thirty points in multiple game. I do not think that this is representative who he really is. This is the perfect prescription. This is exactly what the Atlanta Falcons do on a regular basis. Starting for the first start off hot and then fall off. There's his next three games are against the Carolina Panthers, then at Denver,

and then at Seattle. I do not think that that is sustainable. If you have Matt Ryan and there's a place where you could flip him, I say do it right now. That's why he's might fo gazy for week four. Rocks to get about him long term and short term. You don't think Matt Ryan's like turn the corner. No. I do not think Matt Ryan's turned Mohammed Sinu and

Jacob Tammy no all he ever needed. No. I think as you see they're going, they're trying to have that monstrous combo of Tevin Coleman and Deavonte Freeman is running back position. You know they got Rudio Jones, but that's about it. Umlil is not getting forced targets like it's not like he used to. I'm telling you, I believe that Matt Ryan is going to go off a percipitives clip in the next month or two, especially as some of his road games start getting colder outside. You no, no, no,

sell self self from days forget about him. I agree with Speeds on that. I do think Matt Ryan will be serviceable this week, but definitely it gets way too tough for him after that year. So that's those two dayzies. But we're gonna give him some diamonds at the same time. You know, check it out. I'm looking interestingly enough for both of my diamonds in this scene Detroit and Chicago game. I want to give him to diamonds real quick. Bright game it is. It's a bright game. It's gonna be

shining so bright. Both at the running back position. First on the Detroit side, I like this guy Dwayne Washington. Okay, he is going to be the early down back. They want to keep theo Riddic in that passing down back mode. In playne Washington only ten carries for thirty eight yards um last two these young stills. He's still young and listen. He is a great size speed combo. I like him a lot, and I believe that Detroit and Jim Bob Cooter, you didn't really think we're gonna go a fantasy freestyle

episode without me talking about Jim Bob Cooder. Jim Bob Cooter in the Detroit lines, I think are gonna be up on the Chicago Bears Tad Soldier field, and I think they're gonna have a unique game flow opportunities to actually use their early down between the tackles back and that will be Dwyne Washington in that game. On the flip side, though we discussed this before Jeremy Lankford being injured, making Jordan Howard my diamond in the rough this week

as well. I believe he is going to be in line for a good workload and I think in that game, especially short last week with his four catches for forty six yards, that he is a weapon out of the backfield. And I think Brian Hoyer at quarterback would have the backup quarterback and the second string they get that connection and actually on the second field, and I think that's what's gonna happen a little bit. So that's another reason

we've talked about it a little bit. But just to read course of Jordan in Chicago is my second diamond in the rough week before. Yo, this is a guy who actually he came up during the mail bag and while I still think that he's he's no Brandon Marshall, I really think DeShawn Jackson has an awesome chance to pop off. Like Joe Hayden still out for Cleveland, Joe Hayden is still a little bit banged up. I'm not

really worried about Joe Hayden, though he is. Honestly, Deshan Jackson has proven that he's more than just an elite and deep threaten season speeds. You talked about that at whom We talked about it. After week one, he's seeing a little bit more targets, you know, And honestly, that is a great thing for me. Seeing twenty three targets in three games, and he's actually still averaging seventeen yards

to catch. The Browns past defense with Joe Haydan, without Joe Hayden to start the season has been totally burnable. They're giving up huge chunk games in an average of two touchdowns a game. I think he's gonna get loose post something like you'll call me crazy five for one twenty down from rock for sixty nine hundred dollars on that fan duel. I'm putting him in lineups where I need a big bump out of my wider. That should

tournament play right there, right, that's exactly. Let's just let's let's zig when they z eggs, you know, speaking of zigging when people's egg zig zag about to get yo. This is someone who's only two percent owned in Yago leagues. This is a pure PPR play speeds and I talked about that in New Orleans San Diego game and how we are trying to start everyone we can, you know, total on the board in Vegas, and we've talked about how Vegas. Vegas knows a thinger That's why they build

all those big buildings out there in the desert. They don't know everything. They know a thing or two. You know, Treveris Cadet on the New Orleans Saints, he's not likely to see more than a carrier two, but he's going to be so heavily involved in that passing game. He had a great game last week, six targets talk for thirty two yards. He also had a huge game probably about thirty yards called back on a wheel route where

Drew Brees was looking for him. And I think you're just gonna be basically seeing more of that against the San Diego team that is tough against the wide receivers, but let's stuff slide in the middle of the field. It's like like, nah, it's not even a ter if I'm not going to defend it. You're gonna see Kobe Fleaner, who I still hey. You're also going to see Traveris Cadet involved early in the game in terms of the Saints establishing the offense in the middle of the field.

And I also think you're gonna see, unfortunately as a Saints stand a lot of him late in the game as they're trailing. He's seen six targets in two or three games. He's already got a touchdown on that resume. Drew Brees throws to the open man, and Cadet is going to be open five thousand on fan duel two percent in Yahoo. When I walk up out of the mind with dirt obomba overalls, just know that I found

you a diamond in the right Oh my goodness. He's wearing that light around his head like a coal miner rocks in those mountains, digging for those diamonds in the rug, giving you tournament plays to help you win your league and win that cash that's what we do on the
