Episode description

Dane Martinez opens the night talking about NFL teams that could bounce back from 0-2 starts. Dane goes through the Week 3 news and notes, looking at the returns of Sam Bradford and Danny Amendola. Dane expresses how offensive lines truly dictate the fantasy value of many players, and why he thinks teams like the Giants and Seahawks will not give great value thanks to poor offensive line play. #FNTSY #NFL #fantasyfootball #Giants #Seahawks #ChrisCarson #Colts #Jets

You are now tuned in to the speeds and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Up next on that safer on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet Martinez, you know what it is. It shoul boy Dane Martinez a k A. Speed t a k a to spitting Statistician and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award

winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I want to give a big shout out to all our listeners live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio, watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network live YouTube stream. We got a good show for you on a Wednesday as we get you ready for Week three of the NFL and the fantasy football season. I got my man Chris Bovona, the Bounty Hunter with me on the ones and two is keep it in so Hot that the Sweats Team. And if you want to join the show tonight, you absolutely can.

The number to call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You could also find us on Twitter. I got a poll question up. If you want to contribute that way, you absolutely can. I ask you tonight which struggling NFL and Fantasy football offense do you have faith might be able to rebound, make it better, fix what ails them, and still contend. These are three

teams that some people thought were playoff contenders. Um, I'm talking about the Cincinnati Bengals, I'm talking about the New York Football Giants, and I'm also talking about the Seattle Seahawks. I have an option out there as well for none of them right away. Clayton trey and has already responded, saying, quite possibly three of the worst offensive lines I have ever seen. I have a theory on why that. Maybe I shared a little bit of it with my boy

Mikey Florio last week. And you know who actually agrees with me, Bill Belichick agrees with me. I'm gonna tell you a little bit more about that a little bit later on. And also what I'm gonna try and do is I'm gonna give you my previews for Week three. We're gonna hope to get through the early slate of games giving you my previews as well. What to look for, who to sit, who to start who to fade so you could win your leagues and win that cash. And as you know, the phone lines will be open. My man,

Chris Bavone is gonna take good care of you. We seem like we got some calls. We will get to your calls this hour. If you have trade questions, if you have add questions, if you have you know, um, you know, if your waiver wire hasn't run yet for some response, for some reason, I've got you. We're gonna hold you down so you can win. I will tell you this though. We're gonna do when we come out of break. We're gonna start right away with you know,

guys who practiced, guys who didn't practice. And I'm seeing a trend. I'm seeing a trend right now where a lot of people are not practicing on Wednesdays. But I'm telling you I don't necessarily think it means what it used to. I think in the NFL, they're starting to kind of manage people's bodies a little bit better, and they're realizing that there is no reason to put these studs that you know are still a little sore right

back out there on practice Wednesday. Gonna see a lot of guys riding the bike that are ultimately playing, a lot of guys sitting out where they're just managing his practice. So when I go through this list of guys that didn't practice today, take it with a grain of sword salt. Don't react rashly, but I will give you that list. We're gonna talk about offensive line play. I'm gonna preview games week three, and we're gonna take your calls at eight four four, eight four three six eight seven nine

where we come back. We let it go. We are dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

Yeah you know what it is a little Beastie Boys bringing it back as we dropped stats over beats right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, is your boy Jane Martinez

speeds and spitting status. They and have some news and notes and injury reports from around the NFL as we get ready for a week three Sam Bradford quote unquote felt better and more important than how he feeled how he felt he was on the field, and he actually practiced today. I think that is a great sign that he will in fact play Week three. I guess I

believe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And not only is that important for Sam Bradford, but if you are an owner of Adam Feeling, if you are an owner of Kyle Rudolph, if you are an owner of mom Man Stephen, can you digs in? You can rest a little bit easy. If he's out there practicing this earlier in the week, unless he has a setback, I think it is good news for Sam Bradford and the Minnesota Vikings. Tyler Eiffort, on the other hand, did not practice today. He's nursing

both back and knee injuries. I think that is even more reason to give a big bump up to a j Green. He might be in my DFS lineup this week. A little plug right there for our Friday show and I'll give you my DFS lineup. Also, news out of New England, we got a lot of stuff going on in New England. Danny A. Mendola is back at practice. Remember I told you his mom makes the best meat balls.

Coming back from the head injury. They didn't really call it the concussion protocol per se, but Avendola back at practice. It looks like he might be good to go for their game against the Houston Texans this week. On the other side, though Rob Gronkowski did not practice because of that groin injury, Rex Burkhead did not practice because of his ribs injury. To me, this means even more potential for James White and as a PPR back, maybe in

DFS as well. Remember how we say it's hard to tell which Patriot he's gonna pop off on any given week, Well, these injuries mightn't help clear up the picture for you a little bit. Ironically, two different running backs today there are reports that they went and asked their coach for

a few more carries. Okay, first of all we got Isaiah Crowell and Cleveland went to Hugh Jackson and I was just talking with Tony Sincott on the Lineup Block Loft Live show, and he said, you know, it makes sense you talk about that when you're about to face the Indianapolis Colts. It's like, uh, you know, teams calling a team meeting when they know they got their ace on the mountain the next day. It's kind of a

self fulfilling prophecy. But also the Giants, or Leans dark Wall has said that he's looking for a little bit more carries. Remember, so far, Paul Perkins has not been the answer. But the biggest scapegoat out of anybody here in New York is definitely left tackle Eric Flowers. However, Ben McAdoo has said that they are definitely sticking with Flowers as their left tackle. However, McAdoo might give up

play calling uh duties. And I think that's very interesting because we also talk about this Ben McAdoo system them, the Ben McAdoo system. Well, if Ben McAdoo isn't calling plays anymore, what does that mean. I'm telling you the Giants are blunt, guts trash. Corey Davis, the young wide receiver rookie wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans. He has been ruled out with that hamstring injury. DeMarco Murray also

not practicing. He also has a hamstring leg injury. So could it be a little bit more de Henry this week for the Tennessee Titans. Could it be a little bit more Richard Matthews Delaney Walker for the Tennessee Titans. Also, like I said, a lot of people missing practice today. And here's the concept. Remember how years ago there used to be the probable, the questionable, the doubtful, and they changed that all around. Now if you want to get your insight, I think the thing to look about at

the practice reports. Okay, you want to see if they're not practicing, if they're limited, or if they're full. I think the full practice on that we're gonna get on Thursday. That's the new like probable tag. But if they're still limited or not practicing tomorrow, then I sound the alarm. And these are people to keep an eye on because they did not practice today. Ravens running back Terence West didn't practice because of a thigh injury that held him

out of some of the game last week. Remember Buck Allen got so many snaps to travel across the pond in that London game. Probably doesn't help him either. Keep an eye on Terence West. Jarvis Landry did not practice because of a knee. They might be just managing these days. He played through that last week and week two. Kelvin benj Men did not practice because of rib and knee injuries. I think they're just managing it him as well. He

said he's just sore. I think he's in line for a big uptick and maybe a little bit of a breakout. Remember the Panthers have lost Greg Olsen to i R. Jordan Read did not practice with that chest issue. This one could be a little bit more serious. Okay they said that, quote unquote. He is just not healthy right now. And it is a shame because on Sunday Night football, the Washington football team they play against the Oakland Raiders, and the Raiders are one of the worst teams in

the league at defending the tight end. So if he was out there, I would love Read this weekend, but that is not the case. Unfortunately, Jimmy Graham did not practice for the Seattle Seahawks today. Looks like he's gonna get the questionable tag because of that ankle injury, and Randall cop in Green Bay also did not practice. All right, here the thing I want to talk to you about. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, and I know

you guys do, and I appreciate it. I see the numbers out there on the YouTube, on I Heart Radio, on tune in Radio, on the Fantasy Sports Deo network, apps, so many ways to keep it locked in the Fantasy Freestyle. But if you listen to the show, you know that I have been talking about the offensive line play and how these are things that don't change. I've been saying at wide receiver, at running back, you talk about next man up. You know Jordan Howard's arm in a sling

Tarret Cohen, next man up, it's all good. Allen Robinson goes down, doesn't matter Alan hearns next man up. You can't do that with the offensive line. The offensive line is such an issue that they're supposed to be playing together. And I've said that this has two main things. One, offensive lineman in college are actually doing a different job than offensive lineman in the pros with all these spread offenses.

One of the things you know, you know about quarterbacks, but offensive lineman they don't understand how to you know, slide one way out a poll, things like that. And here's the other thing, And this is what Bill Belichick also says, which I think is very interesting. Remember one of the things I was saying is because of the new collective bargaining agreement that there is not an of practice time for these guys, you can't really cultivate their skill,

their footwork, you know, these sorts of things. And I think that is a very big issue. Listen to what Bill Belichick said today. He was on the conference call in advance of the game with the Texans, with all the Houston Beat reporters. Okay, this happens every week. Listen to what he said, and I quote, I think in general, fundamentally,

it's difficult to play on the offensive line. You're playing a contact position with pads, but you're practicing it without pads the majority of the time, and that develops a lot of bad habits and a lot of the techniques that a player needs to have a chance to work on and improve on. With pads, that opportunity just isn't there anymore. He says, it's hard to improve at these

positions without being able to practice. And then it favors the defensive line because they have at least some tempo and they get some contact and they're the aggressor in this situation. But that for the offensive line specifically, you know this idea of the combination blocks, the pulling blocks, exactly the stuff that they don't have to do in college. Okay, and that that is a big reason why check out the analogy Bill Belichick mix. He says, It's like the

game of golf. Okay, he says, and I quote, it's like you go out this driving range and hit drives, hit golf balls, but you can't go out onto the putting green. And then to think that you're putting is gonna be at the same level as you're driving when you really can't practice it, it's not realistic, he says. But again, all the teams are operating under the same set of rules, so it is what it is. I have been making this point. I am going to be

beating this drum all season long. The offensive lines in the NFL are piss poor. They are blunt, guts trash, and they are not getting better because you don't have the time to practice. That is part of the reason why I put up this pole question, which are these struggling offenses will rebound? I personally think the answer is none of the above. I think you wouldn't think about this natural league. But I think everybody knows about you know, Oh,

I'm gonna stream a defense against the Jets. Oh I'm gonna stream a defense against Scott Tolzien or Jacobe Bursett and the Indianapolis Colts. Oh, the Buffalo Bills, the San Francisco forty Niners, the Houston Texans. Their offenses are trash. Don't get it twisted. The New York Giants offense is not getting better anytime soon. They go up against the Philadelphia Eagles, who bring a pass rush at home in their home opener. Go right now and get the Philadelphia

Eagles defense. They're gonna sack Eli Manning about six times on Sunday. You talk about the Cincinnati Bengals. Their offensive line is not getting any better. They consciously decided to not bring back Wentworth, to not bring back Zeitler. They're a Pro Bowl left tackle and left guards. They let those guys walk in free agency. You see what's happening to Andy Dalton right now. Yeah, they go to lambeau

Field to take on the Green Bay Packers. You saw what b J. Daniels did against that Seattle Seahawks line in Week one. I expect the same thing. I don't care who the offensive coordinator is, and that brings me to Seattle. Seattle Seahawks. They are going to Tennessee. Yeah they have Russell Wilson. Yeah he has some escape ability, but have you seen that running game recently, Chris Carson?

Maybe that got to save them. But I don't know if that's the case, whether it's Eddie Lacey, Thomas Rawls, or if it is the new stud Waiver wire add Chris Carson, I'm not so sure it's gonna work out. I'm telling you right now, this is a trend that is not going to stop in the football season. These offensive lines are dog meat. So remember that when you make your fantasy football lineups on DFS or an accepting trades, whatever the case. Maybe when we come back, I got this, um,

I got the calls lighting up. Okay, we're gonna take your calls. I got some people who I've heard from before, my boys, Steve and Massive Jesus's we got Paul Et coming back. We're gonna take your calls when we come back, dropping stats over beats right here on the Fantasy Freestyle because as Chris Bamona plays, it is time for us to try to get some money.

Things are only getting better make sure listen live and tell o the apps Y Radio.

It's free and it's twenty four seven the best Fantasy Sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Your boy, Dame Martinez Speci has been statistician. Like I said, We're gonna open up the phone lines right here. The number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I got my

man and Stephen Massachusetts. He's gonna lead us off here on the Fantasy Freestyle and he wants to talk about some g P. Ryan. I hear you in the background, though, Steve, I hear myself in the background. Turn that off on muted real quick when you're on, because you're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. Hey, what's going on? Man? I'm sorry about the missing you missing the call last time.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure what happened. Uh. I was gonna tell you real quick, uh yesterday about my waiver of claims. I picked up Benjamin Watson, Rashad Higgins, and uh I ended up getting the Patriots defense. So hopefully it all works out, this week, I just grabbed Benjamin Watson just in case something happens to Jimmy Graham. But real quick, my question was with SOMEDVP ryin Um, if Rob Kelly doesn't go, should I add this guy?

Because I remember he was a preseason darling. Everybody said that this guy was gonna win the job from Rob Kelly, and but uh, I don't even know what's going on with Rob Kelly. It's seems like he might play the rib the rim injury might not be too serious, but like if he if he goes down, like if it turns out he can't play, Like, should I just add this guy? Sure? Thanks for the call, Steve. Thanks for to call Steve. When it comes to some g P P Ryan. That's interesting. Yeah, he was a darling during

the preseason. I would temper my expectations when it comes to some a G P. Ryan. First of all, fat Rob Kelly. He's dealing with a rib issue. He's still day to day. We haven't had word on him just yet. But I've actually been saying that Chris Thompson is the Washington back to own. Okay, whether you're in PPR formats or not, it is Chris Thompson, who has really accelerated. I understand the love for some G. P. Ryan, but

here's what I'm talking about. On P. Ryan. He is a guy who may ascend a little bit later on in the season, maybe a viable stash. But if you're looking for production right now, the answer in Washington is Chris Thompson, not necessarily some a G. P. Ryan. I gotta say those, Steve. I love your pickup of Ben Watson. Okay, Joe Flacco and the Ravens, they utilize the tight end a lot. Joe Flacco last week only had five attempts

that went to wide receivers. He's getting Ben Watson involved, and I think that's the way they're gonna attack Jacksonville this Sunday in London because remember Jalen Ramsey a J. Boullier, they could lock down those Baltimore wide receivers. So I like the Watson pick up. Next up on the Fantasy Freestyle, it is Paul E. T. You're calling from east Chester, so we heard from you yesterday. How can I help you out today? We're talking running backs here on the

Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on? Man? Thanks for taking my question? Um again, I'm in a twelve man PPR league. Um, I've been listening to the last half hour and I'm on board with the Philly du this week. Absolutely. Um here comes here comes my question. UM, I agree. I think Jordan read this this Rib issue. They say it's been nagging. I'm just in case he doesn't. You know, suit up? Um, I just heard the last call. Were

talking about Watson. But my other choice is are Ebron or Miller, and I'm pretty much gonna go with Stafford this week. So sure, sure, sure, sure. So. I love Ebron, I love Stafford, I love all the guys you're talking about. I'm not sure exactly what the question was in there, but if it was going back to Washington, I'm telling you it is about Chris Thompson. Let's keep it moving though. Here on the Fantasy Freestyle, Chris and Tampa. Chris and

Tampa has an interesting flex call. Uh so let's hear it. Chris, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? What's up? Martinez man? Thanks for having me on the show. UM. So my question is is a w R two and a flex from a twelve team pp half point PPR Big Boy League? Here? So I got, um, I'm starting Adams. So now the next one is gonna be Dez Bryan against Peters, Dalvin Cook against the Tampa Bay maybe no Sam. And then

I got DeVante Parker against the Jets. I need w R to flex, and I'm like, stick up in that situation there. Sure, So it's Dez Bryant. Um, you said Dalvin Cook, I believe, and then you said Parker against the Jets. So you need a wide out to it, and then you need the flex. So I like cooking the flex. I definitely like cooking the flex, okay, because I like that guaranteed touches. You never know how many targets or opportunities these guys are going to get when

it comes to Dez or DeVante Parker. I think this is very close, if you want to know the truth. But I'm gonna go. I'm gonna actually go with Des Brian on Monday Night. I know that Patrick Peterson maybe on him, and I know that Dez has struggled a little bit. I actually think this is kind of when Des can pop off a little bit when it comes to DeVante Parker. Here's my concern with DeVante Parker this week.

I think they get up big against the Jets, and I think they wind up doing a little bit of JA I think that's gonna be the guy on Miami who's gonna get most of this production. I think Devanta Parker, they may try to go down field to him, but watch, You're gonna hate it when you own DeVante Parker and DeVante Parker was wide open and then it's a pass interference call instead of a reception, and they wind up plugging Jay A, G I. E. And from inside the five.

I also think when it comes to Miami that I was surprised by the amount of targets and catches that Jarvis Landry got last week, even though he had that knee injury. I think he had something like thirteen catches and like sixteen targets. I think that is what's gonna continue. I don't think they're gonna need to go down the field with Devanta Parker. So I'm going Cook and I'm going Dez. But thank you so much for the call, Chris in Tampa. Next up. Next up is John in

New York City. John, you're right here near Studio thirty four. Come on, buy the Rock and Riley's next time man, come on, buy I'll buy you a drink. We could do it that way. But John in New York City, you are dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Oh? Yeah, man? What's up? So? I got a quick question standard League? Who to start here? Uh? As wide receiver? So I got two, and I'm looking to plug win in my flex because my running back

situation is pretty rough right now. So obviously I got a j Green as my one and the two in the flex, I'll let you know who I got. So I have Parker who you just talked about, Marvin Jones, Stefon Diggs, garsone and Herners. Oh and Higgins, who I think I like against Indiana this week. Yeah, I also like Higgins against Indianapolis. Okay, so I like Higgins. Um, I like Higgins this week. I told you my feelings on Parker, and then the other two guys that are

left are Jones and Diggs. Okay. I like the fact that Sam Bradford was practicing today. Okay, So because of that. First of all, Marvin Jones is also one of those kind of whack a mole offenses on a week to week basis in Detroit. I love Matthew Stafford, but it's gonna be hard to figure out. Will it be Golden Tate, Will it be Marvin Jones? Will it be Eric Ebron?

Will it be Theoretic? Will it be Kenny Golladay? You know so because of that instability, um and the fact that Sam Bradford practice today, I'm Takinghiggins and I'm taking my man Stephen. Can you digs it? That's where I'm going, my man John come on buy and see me sometime next up on the Fantasy Freestyle. Right now, we got Sided in Toronto. Sided in Toronto has a quarterback question. Hey, Sided, you're dropping stats over beat. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle.

What's up? Yeah? What's up? Man asked the two quick questions. The first one is would you start Breese or Winston this week? And the second one is do you think David Johnson his voice? And add in fash So I got a buddy who was willing to take Chris Carson for David Johnson, and so I can put him on my bench. And then I got a giant one starting so and hear your thoughts under fair enough, fair enough, keep Chris Carson and do not try to take David Johnson.

He's trying to fool you. You want no part of David Johnson. I do not believe David Johnson is going to be doing much of anything this year. He may come back in the month of December when you're in your fantasy playoffs, but I wouldn't risk it. And quite frankly, I believe the Arizona Cardinals are going to be out of contention by that point in time anyway, and so they're gonna tell David Johnson a just rest up for next year. Your other question was about quarterbacks, and I

believe it was Breeze or Winston. I'm going with Drew Brees there. Listen, Drew Brees is someone you run out every week. I don't care that he's outside the dome. I don't care that it is a road Division opponent at Carolina. I'm rolling out Drew Brees. Jamis Winston is facing the Minnesota Vikings, and I think the Minnesota Vikings have a quality secondary. Okay, we're talking about Xavier Bumpy Roads,

we're talking about the age. Just wonder, Terence Newman. I want to see what Jamis Winston and this new offense does away from home. Yeah, they look good against the Bears in their home opener, but I want to see if I think it might be very different at Minnesota. Remember what Minnesota didded to even Drew Brees because of that. I like Drew Brees and I don't even really think it's close. My friend, all right, let's keep him moving. Here. We are on the fantasy Freestyle. I have Renee and

in Connecticut. Renee in Connecticut. You are on the fantasy freesty. How can I help you out this fine Wednesday evening it was going on speed? How are you feeling? Man? Hey to No, I'm sitting pretty I I called last week. I said I was real excited with my team. I still am. I'm still up top. You know, I got the most points something. I got a six squad man, So I'm feeling pretty good right now. Um, But my question is man um, So Landry and uh Corb are both things up. I see him and I know you

talked to Buggy injury report. But I got Cooper Cup on the bench and he's playing him all night against forty niners. So I'm wondering um with the with you know, I'm not sure what the injuries are for those two guys. Should I roll with Coop and take one of an hour? Should I just wait to see what happens with him on Thursday? Sure? Let me tell you this, and thanks for the call. And first of all, Revernew, I love

how Renee has a disclaimer. First of all, like, yo, my team is so good, I'm already to we know. I love my team. I appreciate that, Renee. I hope your team stays going well. And hopefully part of it is because as listening to the Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Yeah, man, I would, I would insert Cooper Cup and I would do it for Randall Cobb. The reason I picked Randall Cob over Landry is because, especially in these PPR formats, Landry, if he plays, he's

gonna get his targets. Okay, with Randall Cobb, even if he does play, there's so many mouths to feed in Green Bay that I'm not sure that it's sustainable. Remember, Jordie Nelson is still fifty fifty. You also got Time Montgomery out of the backfield and so many other options that. Yeah, if you want to be safe in your option to be safe is tomorrow night. Yeah, go with Cooper Cup and do it in place of Randall Cobb. That's what I would say. When we come back here on the

Fantasy Freestyle, I see that there's still a couple more calls. Okay, so when we come back, I'm gonna try and get to you guys. I see Charlie and in Minnesota, I see you would read in Michigan, We're gonna try and get to you. It's spitting speeds, were dropping stats over beat here on the Fantasy Freestyle.

I need to do it too. You need to do it too. It's a no lose situation. You could potentially help save a life and you could potentially go to the Super Bowl up in Minnesota. All Right, we still got some calls that I want to get to. We're gonna try and get to as many as we can in this segment.

Our first one is read read you are in Michigan. How can I help you out? As the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, What's Up? How's It? Absolutely was, Um, you told me to sit mart Is Briant last week, but I'm not too mad about it. Yeah, but here's what I also told you. He's what I also told you. Read. I told you he is a kind of home run play. He didn't get a ton of receptions. It's just he takes those receptions to the house.

So that's gonna be the case with Brian every single week. There's gonna be some weeks where he has like four catches for a hundred and thirty yards and a touchdown. Then there's gonna be some weeks where he has like three targets because still Antonio Brown and Levian Bell are going to be the two primary options for Big Ben. It didn't work out for you. I apologize, but thanks for coming on back. I'm gonna try and help you

out this week. What's Up? So I just made a trade this afternoon, and I want to hear what you think about I kind of it was like a low risk but high reward situation. I traded Jameson Prowder and I got Jordan Howard. So I was wondering if that was a good trade on my partner, if he's gonna be irrelevant later this season. He's not gonna be irrelevant. He's not gonna be irrelevant. Yeah, we we know about

Tarik Cohen, we know about the shoulder. Here's what I would say if if you have other wide receivers, like if Crowder was your wide receiver four or five, if he was on your bench, then I think it's a great trade, okay, because people are really getting too panicky about Jordan Howard. This is a guy who was a second round draft pick in many leagues going into the season. So I think this is the right time of the season.

Read you're buying low people are you know, people are scared about Jordan Howard, and I think you know it. It could be that he, you know, gets usurped by Tarik Cohen, but I think throughout the season he's gonna bounce back and the shoulder will be okay. So I really like that trade. Thanks a lot for giving me the call. Read out there Charlie. You were out there as well. Charlie in Minnesota. You got a question about running backs. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Call?

Um So, I was just wondering. I'm I started going too because my bench keeps going off. Um so. So, I was just wondering about christ McCaffrey because I mean, he hasn't done much. I have a couple other running backs that have done a lot. So I was just wondering if I would I have ye, So, I'm oxtally gonna start him bunch winning, but I should start like Buck Allen, Quiz, Rogers and Cohen, any of them in my running back spot or in my flex over Christian McCaffrey.

H fair enough, and thanks for Nicole. Here's what I would do in that situation. I would get Cohen into your lineup. But as the flex, I think this is going to be the litmus test for the Carolina Panthers. I think if you've ridden out Christian McCaffrey for the first two weeks of the season, you have to do it again in week three. And the reason why it's because they are at home against the New Orleans Saints. Everybody's offense has looked amazing against the New Orleans Saints.

Some of these other guys that you're talking about do not have as tasty of a matchup. And also the way to attack the Saints is via the past. So I think Christian McCaffrey is gonna be matched up against the linebacker at times, gonna be creating mismatches. I think this is the last chance to luin for Christian McCaffrey, but don't fade now. I would say keep McCaffrey in your lineup this week, largely because of the matchup against the blunt, guts, trash past defense that is the New

Orleans Saints. Charlie, thanks for the call. Let's get to some more real quick. We got Steven Canada. Oh can duh yo? I love it all my Canadians representing Steve. You got a question, you're dropping stats over beats on a fantasy freestyle, So do yes? So do? I got a question baut wide receivers here, So I got Evans, I got Hilton, I got Higgins that I picked up, but I got Con as well as a flex um.

Now I don't know if I should bench Hilton and just play Cohen as Um Higgins, Evans, Rochard Higgins, t Y Hilton, and what was the fourth, well, the fourth of the flex, which which I'm thinking about trading switching hiltonh Yeah, I do that. I do that. I run out Evans and Higgins, and then if you're only starting the two wide receivers and your option for the flex is t Y Hilton or Tarik Cohen, I'm going on

with Tarik Cohen. To be quite honest, I believe Tarik Cohen will have more targets, more receptions, and more receiving yards this week than t Y Hilton. The way that the Bears are playing right now, Remember they have the Glennan at their quarterback, who's gonna check it down all day long. They have all their wide receivers have been hurt, whether it was Cam Meredith at the start of the year, Kevin White. I don't know if Marcus Wheaton is coming back.

They're talking about Josh Bellamy getting work for them, so I think the work actually goes to Tarik Cohen and Zach Miller at the tight end position. I still say you need to fade t Y Hilton with this quarterback situation. Yeah, I put Cohen in the flex and I run out Evans and Higgins at your two wide receivers spots. Thanks for the love, even all the way north of the border out there in Canada. I got a couple more questions. We gotta get to Aaron in Oklahoma, Aaron, because you

went to Oklahoma? Is that why you drafted DeMarco Murray back in his sooner days? He was a beast? You got a question about him? Now in Tennessee, Aaron, you're dropping stats over beats on the fantasy freestyle. Hey, how's it going, Dame? No, No, and not not theloa thing, man. Just like I didn't go after just after I just lay. I didn't go after some my j Pete Ryan or mixing or anything like that. But uh no, um on your rosters, on your roster. No, no, I'm kind of in.

Let's try and help you up Murray. Now we're looking at Sunday at Seattle, right, and here's the issue is if if we look at seat because seats had pre defense. Now Montgomery ran for fifty four yards week one, and then last week Harlos Hide slammed a hundred and twenty four yards against Seattle. If DeMarco Murray does play, because he going to be the starter, Like there's still a scary thing, you know, Harry or Henry ends up taking over, you know eventually, but for this week if Murray does play,

if he does, how effective is he gonna be? And then second of all, is Seattle run Defense is as good as you think it is? And is Murray gonna get any kind of game at all? Thanks for the call, man, and appreciate it. Oh sorry, sorry, And then like, the only other thing I'm looking at is like, if if I don't play Murray, the only other people I got are I'm looking at Frank Gore, Rob Kelly and Chris Carson. So you know, it's it's rough. Yeah, no, I hear you,

And thanks for the call. Thanks for the call. So and that's what I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear who your other options Aaron, you know, and so it's not Gore, it's not fat Rob Kelly, but Carson is interesting. Okay. I think here's the thing. What you really need to do is you need to see what the practice reports come out throughout the rest of the week. Okay, I told you guys at the top of the show that I'm not worried about the Wednesday practice report. I'm

worried about the Thursday and or Friday reports. Okay, if he is a full participant in practice later on in the week, then I think it's okay, and I think you can ride out DeMarco Murray. If, however, he doesn't practice, or if he's limited, then I think he might still go out there against the Seattle defense, but I think the Lion's share of the carries will go to second year running back Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry is ascending in

this offense. Part of the reason have Derrick Henry is so that they can continue their exotic smash mouth even if DeMarco Murray gets hurt. And DeMarco Murray, as you know from back in Oklahoma and with Dallas, he has been injury prone and this is now rearing its ugly head again. If DeMarco Murray is nothing other than a full participant in practice, then I think you actually would be better served by putting Chris Carson in your lineup

this week instead of DeMarco Murray. We have time for one more call here on the Fantasy Freestyle, and it is going to Brad in South Dakota, Brad in South Dakota. You have a question, Oh, Bra, I dropped. Okay, fine, then we can go to uh, let's go to Travis in Vegas because what's supposed to happen in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. But it's gonna go onto the Fantasy Freestyle. Travis, you are on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats. How can I help you? Man?

Real quick? We're up against it. Hey man, I appreciate your thanks taking my call. I'm having a bit of a trouble selecting running back. I got two running back spots and two flex spots. I got got guys, but um, just three spots open. So I got J G. I E. I got Lashawn McCoy, I got Chris Thompson, and I got Marshawn Lynch. Is this PPR right now? Landry is taken? Yeah? Yep, yep, okay? Um? So to me, A G. I, E. And Lynch are no brainers. Uh? And to be quite honest, how can

you not run out shady McCoy? You know, I love Chris Thompson. I've been saying it all week long. I love, love, love Chris Thompson. But look at it this way. Also, Travis, what would you be more piste off that on Monday morning, you know, like benching McCoy and seeing that he goes off for a McCoy kind of game, or benching Chris Thompson and see that he kept it going. I think you'd be more piste off if Shady McCoy was on

your bench and he had two touchdowns. And you know it's back in rare form, so I think you gotta play your studs. So I think you gotta go with gi E, Shady McCoy and Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch. Thanks to everybody for the calls right here and Fantasy Freestyle. If you didn't get to me, holler at me on Twitter at spitting Speeds. I'll try to help you out there. You could always call back tomorrow at eight four four

eight four three six eight seven nine. When we come back on this episode or the Fantasy Freestyle, we tie you a nice neat little bow, and I'll tell you about who will not be performing at the Super Bowl this year. Interesting story. Come on right back. We're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle, which a boy speeds and spitting statistician. Come on right back, you heard pretty freestyle. Fundamentally, it's difficult to play on the offensive line.

You're playing a contact position with pads, but you're practicing it without pads the majority of the time. I'm telling you right now, this is a trend that is not going to stop in the football season. These offensive lines are dogged meat. So remember that when you make your fantasy football lineups on DFS or an accepting trades, whatever the case may be, week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Phantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on a

fantasy sports radio network. We're finishing up the show, and as always, let me remind you that if you like some of the picks that were throwing out here, I personally like the under potentially on that Brown's Colts matchup. I don't think of forty one points you're gonna get scored. But if you like it, go on over to my bookie dot Ag. Let me tell you something. Their reputation

is rock solid. You get in game live betting, which I always like to do as well, and they pay you back real quick, or they'll pay you back within two business days. And if you want to start an account right now, go on over to my bookie Dot A G. And as you register, enter the promo code Freestyle. They'll give you a hundred percent match bonus on your initial deposit. Like I said, I gotta pull question up right now, which of these offenses do you think can rebound?

The Bengals, the Giants, the Seahawks or none of them? Right now? Fifty of you have faith still in the Seattle Seahawks. It's gotta be because you still have Russell Wilson, who has that escapability to you know, despite the offensive line woes. But you know, even with Seattle, it used to be like that no one could beat them at home. Now I think it's almost flipped. It's like who can they beat on the road. They did not look good

at lambeau Field. They got their win barely against what people think is a bad Niners team at home, But they go back on the road this week to take on the Tennessee Titans. I like Tennessee. I might have to go on over to my bookie Dot A G and throw a couple of shekels on the Tennessee money line, right now I told you real quick, and now I was gonna let you know who was not put forming

at the Super Bowl halftime show this year. It is not going to be jay Z. Apparently they were in talks, but jay Z says, no, no, no, I don't want to do it. And here's the interesting part why. He says that if he did it, he doesn't want it to be seen that he's like following in the footsteps of his wife Beyonce. So I think that is pretty pretty interesting. He doesn't want to, you know, be uh second fiddle in his own family playing the super Bowl.

So it won't be jay Z. We'll see who it will be and can they top the performances of the last couple of years with Lady Gaga, Katie Perry and the like. The last thing I want to mention to you guys, Thank you to everybody who calls in. Thanks to everybody who follows me and ask me question Twitter at spitting speeds. If you go to my Twitter profile right now at spitting speeds, the top thing up there right now is um, I put up a link for a good friend of mine. Uh has a go fund

me campaign going on right now. He's down in Mexico City. As you know, they just had that devastating earthquake down in Mexico City in the last thirty six hours and they are build things collapsing. Over two people already dead. The search continues, and this is a serious, serious issue. My friend, he's a restaurant owner out there. He's had some damage to his restaurant, but more importantly, some of his staff has have literally lost everything. Okay, they've lost

everything in their homes. Some of their staff has also lost some loved ones. And so there is a go fund me campaign on my Twitter page right now at spitting speeds. Please go on over there check out the go fund me by my friend Dan de Fassi and binch A Gringo Barbecue. Okay, you know what that means

if you're out there. It's great food. But more importantly, uh, some of the staff really needs support as they are trying to rebuild not only their restaurant but their homes and some of them even have they already lost loved ones in this horrible seven point one magnitude earthquake that

took place right in the center of Mexico City. Unfortunately, these days, there is no shortage of people who need our help, whether it be hurricanes and and and Hurricane Maria just slammed Puerto Rico today, as you guys know, dropping stats over beats, you'll say Puerto Rico. And um, some of my family is still out there as well. Whether it's still Hurricane Harvey. You saw what J. J.

Watt was able to do Hurricane Irma. For the folks out there in Florida, we heard about Hurricane Jose, now Hurricane Maria, now this national disaster down in Mexico of the earthquake. There are so many people out there that need our help. And listen, we're fighting blood cancer with d k ms. But if you've got a couple of extra shekels after you win money by betting on my bookie dot a G or you keep on leveraging all this advice that I'm giving to you, please do me

a favor. Go to go fund me and help out those people in the Mexico City earthquake. Um, it really would warm my heart. I completely appreciate it. We will be back tomorrow profiling Thursday Night football and I'll give you mice take on all of the games happening in week three and of course we'll continue to take your calls four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You already know what it is. It's your boys speeds. That's sitting statistician dropping stats over beats on the fantasy
