The San Francisco forty Niners were the only ones who did not at least cover in Week one as a home dog. So I ask you on Twitter this week, which home dog do you think has the best chance? Your options are the Indianapolis Colts catching seven and a half points at home against the Cardinals, or is it the Saints who return

home to the Dome. They're catching six and a half against the Pats. The Broncos are getting two, two and a half, one and a half, depending on your shop.

We're gonna do all of that, but of course we are also going to take your calls. The number to call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. The phone lines are already lighting up. We're about to blow up like a Sam song. Seven. Let me start right now. Some of these injuries that

are popping up. I am a little bit concerned about, not necessarily for right now, but for long term. We're talking about Lashawn McCoy. Bills are already worried about his legs, already talking about Sam Bradford. He has already had knee issues, and they're saying they're a little bit worried about Bradford. He's listened as questionable also in Miami, J A. G. I. E. Oh ready worried about his knee. They didn't even play in week one. What are we doing and if that

is cause for alarm? I'll get into that Thursday Night Football home Dogs to fade DFS lineups and your questions. We'll be dropping stats over beats all our It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy sports radio Network.

It's happy hour somewhere right now. I hope you're having a great time listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. The phone lines are lighting up. I will get to your questions, but I've gotta first start with some news and notes that can impact your decisions for Week two

of the NFL season. First of all, Patriots wide receiver Danny an Mendola. His mom makes the best meat balls a but he's still got knee issues. He's still got that head concussion protocol. He's still not practicing. He's gonna probably be out for Week two in that game against the Saints. I think that is even more reason you could think about some of these past catching backs for the Patriots, the Dion Lewis Is, the James White, and

even Brandon Cooks in a revenge game. I bump all those guys up because I know Danny A. Mendola is likely not going to go Week two in the Dome. Also, Sam Bradford listed as questionable. I talked to you about that at the top of the show. Listed as questionable with a knee issue. They're optimistic long term, but this this is something that I think you need to watch. Bradford looked amazing in Week one with an eighty four percent completion percentage. Watch what happens if guys like t J.

Watt or Bud Dupree get any pressure on him. This Sunday in Pittsburgh. He even had an m r I And with Bradford's knee issues, I would be holding my breath to see if Bradford makes it throughout the season for what looks like a contending team in Minnesota. John Brown is out for the Cardinals here in Week two against the Colts. I think that pushes up J. J. Nelson into a possible flex kind of level, maybe even

a back end wide receiver. Three for the Cardinals is gonna be Fitzgerald and who else with no David Johnson now smoke Joe Brown. John Brown is also out. Big news out of Chicago. The Bears are listing Jordan's Howard as questionable with a shoulder issue. It seems like that might now become a full on time share with everybody's darling Tyreek Cohen. I know some of the callers later on, are gonna ask me about Tyreek Cohen. This is even more reason to love Tyreek Cohen. Jordan Howard is a

little bit banged up. It's early in the season. I think they try to work, you know, manage his snaps. Even more opportunity for eat for Tyreek Hohn and some of these Chicago wide receivers are gonna have to do something. I personally think that ken Dell right is the Bears wide receiver to own and don't sleep on. Marcus Wheaton potentially coming back from injury he had a finger injury, he might be someone who gets a lot of opportunity

for the Chicago Bears as well. The Chargers have ruled out cornerback Jason Varette due to a knee injury as they open at home against the Miami Dolphins. I think this is very important. I have been touting this Chargers defense and the reasons why where the pressure they get from Ingram and Bosa on the edge, and also that they had not one, but two all Pro cornerbacks in

Casey Hayward and Jason Varette. If Varrette is out, I think that's a boost for Mr DeVante Parker on the Dolphins this week because in my opinion, Hayward then might be on Landry. That means Parker could be opened down the field, and you know Jay Cutler is going to try to push the ball down the field. Also, after the dumpster fire that was Thursday Night Football last night, the Bengals have fired offensive coordinate or Ken Zampas. They have promoted the quarterbacks coach Bill Laser to be now

the offensive coordinator. And I think it's great for him. But listen, there's not much they can do. I told you that their problems are rooted in the offensive line. I said it after Week one, I said it all while week I continue to say it. I fade the Cincinnati Bengals that offensive line to trash. They're gonna get Andy Dalton killed. And Andy Dalton is not good with pressure in his face. You saw it in Week one

when he threw four picks. You saw it again last night, and so that makes me go to Thursday Night Football. If you saw that game, then kudos to you. You must have had a betting interest, You must have had a fantasy interest in that game. I told you about this offensive line on Cincinnati. That is not something A new offensive coordinator is gonna fix. They're gonna have to go max protect all the time. They're gonna have to find someone off the street. It looks like this is

going to be a problem. And the fact that they fire their offensive coordinator after just two games, albeit two home games, or they didn't score a touchdown, I think that it is sending a signal. What do I think that means for the Bengals moving forward. I think they're gonna do two things. I think they're gonna force feed a J. Green the ball. So if you have a J. Green and you're worried about this, I think he's the

only one who's gonna be okay. I think you can see him become a target monster as the season evolves. The other thing I think it means, I think they might end this three person committee at running back. You know you got Giovanni Bernard, Jeremy Hill, and the kid, Joe Mixon. I think that once again, Jeremy Hill proves that he is not ready to be the quote unquote starter. He's been the nominal starter for the first two games. I think this is going to be an increase in

work for Joe Mixon. He was the most productive running back last night for the Cincinnati Bengals at like forty yards and with a one catch out of the backfield. I think you're gonna see a lot more of Joe Mixon moving forward. But yes, the Cincinnati Bengals have fired Ken's MPs as offensive coordinator. Another thing that I took from yesterday's game, I told you about it yesterday. Also, Dante Foreman, I think is in a legit committee now

with Lamar Miller. Okay, Lamar Miller had eighteen carries for sixty one yards. Dante Foreman had twelve carries for forty yards, and they used him towards the end when they needed to really pound it in and wear it out at the end of the game. And I gotta tell you something right now, and say, like Yahoo League's Foreman is

only owned in eight per cent of leagues. So if you're at happy hour right now with a big old crew, let's say you got ten friends with you, only one of you is in a league where Dante Foreman is owned. I can think this could be a guy to stash on your bench. I wouldn't be surprised if Foreman overtakes Lamar Miller as the lead back in Houston by the second half of the season. Remember how I also said

they're gonna force feed aj Green the ball. I also think if you're a Houston Texans fan or fantasy owner, you saw that they are going to force feed DeAndre Hopkins the ball. D hop the d Hoppopotamus. He had seven catches with seventy three yards, but he had thirteen targets. He had sixteen targets in Week one. This is now a trend that is going to continue. DeAndre Hopkins, I believe, will be top five in the NFL in terms of

targets this year. Seven catches for seventy three yards. You also saw in their late drives Deshaun Watson was looking at d hop and no one else. Okay, it was quick comeback to DeAndre Hopkins, back shoulder to DeAndre Hopkins, en route to DeAndre Hopkins, little outrout to DeAndre Hopkins when they are down. They are gonna force feed DeAndre Hopkins, and that is what it is. Those are my takeaways from Thursday Night Football and the news and notes. But a Bovona, it's time for us to now go to

the phones. Okay, we got a lot of questions. I know it looks like Bovona. We're gonna start with Alex and West Palm Beach and the and the Fantasy Freestyle. Alex, you got a question of a little trade off for a little two for one and some wide receiver questions as it relates to the Green Bay Packers. Hey, Alex, you are dropping status of beats with the spitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Are you doing? Man? Doing? All right? How can I help you? Man? Uh? So?

I recently during um what was it Tuesday, I got a trade offer for it was originally Kareem Hunt and Julio Jones for lady On Bell and I kind of told him, know that, I said, I think of a counter, and my counter I was thinking about was Todd Gurley and Julio for a Lady On. But should I make that counter or should I just thick with my team? Yeah? All right, So thanks for the call, Alex. Thanks for

the call Alex yesterday on the Fantasy Freestyle. One of the things I told everybody is, especially early in the season, I hate these two for one trades where people are gonna offer you two people for your stud right. I hate those in general, because what I want to do is accumulate as many weak winning people as possible. This, however, is a different situation because in Julio Jones, you're getting another week winning person. So generally speaking, I say cold tight,

but this is something thing I would consider. I gotta tell you something, Alex, I consider this because you're giving up Levy on Bell, but you're getting back another potential RB one and you're getting Julio Jones, who was an elite talent. I would seriously consider this trade. And I understand you kind of gotta do it now because when Levy on Bell pops off in week two, you're not gonna be getting these kind of offers anymore. I think this is a viable trade I think this is a

viable trade offer. Okay, I don't think you can go wrong either way. I understand keeping Levy on Bell, but with Julio Jones coming back, whether it's Kareem Hunt or Todd Gurley, I think this is something you seriously need to consider. Thanks for the call. We got one more question that we can get to in this block. It is Ben in Seattle. He's got a wide receiver question. It sounds like I gotta pick to Ben in Seattle. You're you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're up against the breaks.

So tell me what it is? Man? What's your god? How can I help you? All Right? So I gotta start my second receiver. I have Mike Evans, but my number two is shaky, So I don't know if I need to start or Tavis Bryan Adam Oh. Interesting, and those are the only two. You only be one of those guys, yeah, one of those four guys. All right? Um, I think it's not Martevis Bryant because I think there's too many mouths to feed in Pittsburgh, Okay, between Levan Bell,

Antonio Brown and others. You know, Martavis Bryant is kind of a home run play, right If he pops off, great, But if you need to depend on him, I don't know about this. For for me, it comes down to DeVante Parker or Adam Feeling. You heard me at the top of the show. Maybe say that Jason Vrette, the Pro Bowl cornerback for the Los Angeles Chargers, is out and and Jay Cutler loves to force the ball to DeVante Parker. I think DeVante Parker is going to have

a great opener for the Miami Dolphins. I like DeVante Parker. I could also understand Adam feeling. They kind of go in that same tier, whether it's Thelan or Parker. I'm going thelan or Parker. I think you go go either way. If you put a gun to my head. Though, I'm giving you DeVante Parker because I think he's gonna catch a bomb and blow up against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week two, although it's Week one for the Miami Dolphins. Will we come back. We're gonna be joined by my

man Chris. We're gonna be giving you DFS lineups, and we'll go back to the phones and take your call. Stay on hold, we'll get to you. I'm gonna help you out here dropping stats over beats. It's a fantasy freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back, Hunter, Henry Stirling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump. They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio

Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app F and t s Y Radio. It's free and it's seven the best Fantasy Sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and I'm just getting warm LLL cool J coming back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, Chris Bovona a minimal dropping stats over beats even a hotter than a Samsung seven like blowing up. You know what I'm saying here? We

got mad calls on the line. Okay, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna tell Chris to hold on a little bit. We're gonna give us our DFS lineups a little bit later on in the show because you guys are holding and we want to make sure we can answer your questions. I am a man of the people. I am trying to help you out so you could win your leagues and win that cash if we go into week two. Our next question here we have read in Michigan. Read in Michigan. It sounds like you got

a flex question for me. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Hey, thanks for taking my call anytime. UM, I've got pretty deep wide receivers. I've got Jordy Nelson and DeAndre Hopkins as my wide receiver. Wanted too, but I'm in a super flex league, and I'm need my flex play. I'm gonna start a wide receiver because it's half pointpr I'm wondering if I should start DeVante Parker, Martavis Bryant, Jameson Crowder, or Chard Matthews. Thanks for Nicole.

I'm going Parker there. I'm going to Parker there. Jamison Crowder is a little bit banged up. I'm still worried about him. Richard Matthews. I don't know they're gonna spread the ball all of a sudden. There's a lot of options in Tennessee. Eric Decker, Corey Davis Delaney Walker as well, and Martavis Bryan who you mentioned. I think it is a good play. I think he's a home run kind of play, a boom or a bus play. I'm gonna wait a little bit on him. I love Devonte Parker.

I told the previous caller as well. I think that Jay Cutler is going to force the ball a little bit to DeVante Parker, try and go deep down the field to DeVante Parker. And if you heard at the top of the show, the Chargers are without one of their best cornerbacks in Jason Varette. So because of all those reasons, I'm going with DeVante Parker. I liked DeVante Parker this week has a nice little play um as the Miami Dolphins have their first game of the season.

Next question, we got Malcolm in Phoenix joining the Fantasy Freestyle. Malcolm in Phoenix, you got a question about our darling of the week, Mr Tyreek Cohen. Malcolm, you're dropping status over beats. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle speeds. What's going on at UM? I need to start two of these people, Adams, de Marco, Mary, James White. I need to start two of them. Thanks for the call and thanks for the love. Malcolm. Is this a PPR league? Let me ask you that,

is this a PPRR standard league? Pr alright? If it's PPR, I think your answer is clear. I think it's definitely Tyreek Cohen. Okay. I love Tyree Cohen. This week, especially Jordan Howard is listed as questionable. I think that means more opportunity for Tyree Cohen. You know, the Bears wide receivers have already gone down Cam Meredith and Kevin White as well, So I love Tyree Cohen. The other guys you mentioned were Davante Adams looks like DeMarco Murray and

James White. I'm gonna go DeMarco Murray there, Okay. I think DeMarco Murray is like the solid option he will produce for you. James White. There's so many different Patriots running backs and you never know which one is gonna pop off. You're gonna be so piste off if you put James White in your lineup and then Dion Lewis or Gillies Lee goes off. Okay, and then when Davante Adams listen, there's gonna be a ton of production on

Sunday Night Football. But when you compare him up against DeMarco Murray, DeMarco Murray is gonna be like a guaranteed fifteen twenty touches Davante Adams. You don't know. The ball could go to Jordy Nelson, the ball could go to Randall Cobb. But ball could go to Time Montgomery. The ball could go to Black Unicorn, Marte Martellez Bennett. So given all that, I'm going with DeMarco Murray and Tyreek Cohen as the two options there. But Malcolm, thank you.

I appreciate the love, I appreciate the support. Call back anytime. Thanks, for the love Brian in Tennessee. Brian and Tennessee is next on the Fantasy Freestyle. Sounds like you got a question about your okay, Nope, blind was not able to hold on so more. I'm sorry you guys. The phone lines are heating up right now in the Fantasy Freestyle. If you want to get in line, you can at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine

the next one. That looks like we're going back to Josh and Callie Josh and Cally as a question that I may have already answered because of my love for Tyreek Cohen, Well let's get him on the Fantasy Freestyle anyway, Josh, you dropping stats over beats with speeds? What's going on? All right? Thank you? Man? Um so pretty much I have in my two receivers um slots. I have Randall cop because I believe that it's going to be a shootout. Obviously I feel so I'm taking a risk with that

Cooper Cup. I have him on my second believe that golf likes him a lot. And then UM for my flex spot. This is where I'm conflicted because I have Larry Fitzgerald. Obviously you heard what happened to Brown. But I'm gonna should I start Larry or should I start Cohen? In my um my flex and I even have Golla day, but I'm not gonna take a risk on that. Um what do you think I should look to that? Thanks

for the calling Josh out there. I'm gonna go with I'm telling everybody you I love Tyreek in this week. I love Tyreek Cohen this week. If you can get him in their lineups, get him in your lineups. Okay, listen again, Jordan Howard questionable with his shoulder that he may be in a real lifetime share with Tyree Cohen. Okay. And also you talk about Larry Fitzgerald and yeah, there's no John Brown, But at the same time J J. Nelson and others might be there with with the Cardinals.

My concern, to be quite honest, Yeah, Johnson has gone. I've been telling everybody since the start of the season. I don't think that Carson Palmer is a stud quarterback anymore. I think Carson Palmer is a problem. I think Carson Palmer is about to fall off a cliff. Yes, in PPR settings, you may want to go with Larry Fitzgerald, but I like the bloom or bus play of Tyreek. And also we all expect the Arizona Cardinals to beat Indianapolis and then have to grind in the second half

and maybe run the clock out. So because one of those reasons, I love Tyreek. Cohen, thanks for the call, Josh out there in California. We're going out to Boise. Now we've got Kendall in Boise. This is a six teen team league and PPR and the flex spot, so we we I like this because we may be talking about other people a little bit further down the rankings, and that's where you really win these leagues. Okay, a sixteen team league. First of all, props to you, Kendall

for being in such a competitive league. Kendall, you are on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats. How can I help you out with your flex spot? Hey man? Yeah, I appreciate you taking Mike cole Man. You guys are awesome. You're killing it. Yeah, sixteen team it's it's getting brutal. I'm picking up handcuffs, sayndcuffs at this point. But either way,

flex play. Um, I've got either Ted ginn Jr. Which I have a lot of faith in him, because I think they're going to move the ball a lot in that game or Buck Allen, and there's just not enough. I feel there's a sample side and I feel like it's going to be kind of game script against Cleveland. I don't know, what do you think. I agree with you. I'm going ted get Jr. There, I agree with you completely. I do not believe in To be honest, I don't

believe in any of the Ravens. I don't believe that this offense is dynamic enough to really support a weekend, week out fan to see stud I do, however, like Ted Ginn Jr. I think there's gonna be a lot of production in that game in the Dome. I understand that the Patriots cornerbacks are no joke, but Ted gin Jr. Can run past anybody, and in that fast track in the Dome, I think ted kin Jr, especially with Snead

still suspended, I like Ted gin Jr. In that spot. Kendall, Thank you for the love, Thank you for the call, ted gin Jr. Is my answer. I think Ted ginn even retains some value when Willie Snead comes back. If you want to know the truth, we go now to Eddie. Eddie is in Seattle. Eddie in the Seattle has a flex question. Um, Eddie, you're dropping stats over beats. How can I help you? Man? You're listening with speeds? Hey? Thanks?

My question is uh second part of my questions from yesterday when you told me to roll out ingram over there? H So A j Green lost ground for me last night and I have uh uh Nelson and Fitzgerald and my wide receivers slots. That leaves me with La Garrett Blunt, al Shan, Jeffreys, Perkins or crowded Crowder with his hip. That's kind of a concern to me and Perkins. The Giants is lacking the runs, so I'm stuck with two Eagles, and with Barry being out and Peterson not shadowing as much,

would I'd be better off home with Jeffrey Blunt. Is this a PPR league or standard? Now? It's a standard and it's tight scoring. It's only passing Russian and receiving one. Oh that is tight man, that is tight. Um. I'm off La Garrett Blunt, man, I really am. I agree with you that I don't buy the Giants running games. So I'm shady, I'm fading Perkins. I agree with you about the hip and Jamison Crowder. I think the last man standing there is al Shan Jeffrey. I would go

Alshan Jeffrey. Given that I am off LGBT Lagarrett Blunt. I I think they're gonna try to work it with Darren Sprowles and other you know in other ways. Um, they like when the Smallwood as well. There's been a lot of buzz about Smallwood. Um, I'm off Lea Garrett Blunt. So given the options, UM, I'm going with al Shan Jeffrey there. And remember I did say that with mark Ingram as well. I think mark Ingram is gonna pop

off for you on Sunday. Thanks for calling back, though, Eddie, I really appreciated al Shan Jeffrey is the play in my opinion. There, we got a couple more questions. We're gonna fill this segment with questions and then Chris and my DFS lineup will be coming up after the break. Our next question comes from Pauli T in Eastchester. A. Pauli, you're dropping stats over beats with a spitting statistician. How can I help you? Man? Hey guy? How you doing?

I'm in a twelve man PPR League, and I've heard all the buzz and taken on information regarding Jay Howard. UM this week in the RB position, we play Jay Howard with the shoulder or T West against the Cleveland matchup, and also Davante Adams versus d Jackson. Okay, so let's do one at a time here, Jordan Howard against Terrence West. I'm still going Jordan Howard. I think at some point the skill of the player trump's the opportunity. I I do not think Terrence West is a good football player.

I do not think the Baltimore Ravens offenses dynamic. So with that, I'm still going Jordan Howard. In terms of the wide receivers that you mentioned, I believe it was I believe it was DeShawn Jackson. And who was the other one, Again, we don't have that, Okay, So it was DeShawn Jackson. I forgot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, PAULI I forgot who the other wide receiver was um with, but DeShawn Jackson is gonna pop. I think in that opener for Tampa, I forgot who the other one was.

I feel like it was a Packer though. And with the in Green Bay. There's gonna be a ton of production there if it's one of the Packers wide receivers, whether it's Adams or cob I do like the Packers wide receivers. There. We got time for one more, Carlton and shy Town real quick. We're up at against the break. We're up against the break, real quick, Carlton. It sounds like your your question was Dez Bryant or Sterling Shepherd.

And with that understand you can only go so far, guys. Okay, and I understand that Dez has the Denver Broncos in that secondary, but they're gonna still try to find Dez Bryant some opportunity. I don't think uh Sterling Shepherd goes above Dez Bryant. I picked Dez Bryant only if Odell Beckham is completely ruled out, which that has not happened, then Sterling Shepherd is viable. But Carlton, I'm going with Dez Bryant for your situation. Okay, Well we come back.

We're gonna get my DFS lineup. My boy Christie Analyst is DFS lineup as well. Leland and Craig sorry man hit me up on Twitter at spitting speeds. I'll answer your questions. There we come back. We got DFS lineups right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, better yet, in the pocket of your Cathy's. We'll check it out now you can. It's the Fantasy Sports Deo

Network app. Download it down to your phone. We promised, no weird viruses, no strange tracking things, just twenty four hours a day, seven days a week of pure fantasy knowledge dropping all over your head. It's a Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. Stop being a weirdo and streaming it online. Get it on your phone, take it with you every where you go. I told you a long time. Welcome

back to the Fantasy Freestyle. We're dropping stats over beats with the bounty Hunter Chris Bovona, keeping it hotter than a Samsung seven, blowing up like liquid hot Magma. We're gonna do. I gave you some of your questions in the last segment. For all those who I didn't get too, I apologize. You could always hit me up on Twitter at spitting speeds, but I want to get to a little DFS action because it's not only season long. Who

do I start this guy or this guy? We're gonna build a DFS line up for you, and I am joined right now by my man, the analyst, Chris Ventra. Chris, We're gonna make the people some money, right, how are you feeling? We're gonna try and do this every Friday on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna bring you in to talk DFS lineups, see if we can make the people some money. Alright, Chris, So, uh, welcome. How are you feeling? You're feeling confident we're gonna win some money? Yeah? I'm

definitely feeling good Week two after we spell the week one. Uh. You know, defenses and offenses absolutely absolutely, So let me ask you this. Let's start right off the bat. Uh. There are some games, Chris, this week where the totals are incredibly high. I'm talking about Sunday Night Football, where the Packers and the Falcons are gonna get after it. A lot of people expect that to be a shootout.

A lot of people also expect there to be a shootout in New Orleans as the Saints take on the Patriots. Those are four stud quarterbacks. Let me ask you are any of those guys in your lineup, Yes they are. I got Maddie Ice going this weekend as my top line up, and I'm stacking him Julio Jones. Okay, Okay, So Matt Ryan to Julio Jones is a stack that you're going with and people that are new to DFS. Okay.

When we say back, we mean putting putt in the quarterback and the wide receiver for the same team in your lineup. So, for example, Chris has Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Okay, So he believes that Matt Ryan's gonna throw a touchdown to Julio Jones because then you get double credit. And that's what we mean by the stack. I like that, Chris. Where I'm going, I'm going a little bit different. I'm staying with these high price quarterbacks. I do believe Week two is where you pay up

for quarterbacks. I didn't do that last week. I hit with Carson Wentz as a quarterback down a little bit cheaper option. But this week, these totals are just way too high to pass up. So yes, I have in two different lineups Tom Brady with one, and in that situation, I'm stacking him with Brandon Cooks his number one wide receiver, and in my other lineup, I like you, Chris, with that Sunday night football action, I'm going Aaron Rodgers and of course then I'm stacking it with my man Jordy Nelson.

So we talked about the stacks, Chris, and we talked about, you know, the quarterback position. Tell me some of your running backs that you like this week. Who are your running backs in your and dual line up, Chris, that you're paying for here in week two? Yeah. So because I went a little lower with Maddie Ice, out of those big quarterbacks and those big matchups, I was able

to get DeMarco Murray. I like him against Jacksonville because I think people are gonna sleep and think that Jackson's great defense, even though they stopped that awful Houston Texans offense and offensive line. I think de Malcom Maurray has a good day, uh, especially draft kings because of the PPR, and I think after a week week one, people are gonna sleep on him. He's not gonna be that high owned.

My other running back, Marshawn Lynch against the Jets, I think Oakland's gonna run the ball a lot, they'll be ahead later in the game, and I think Lynch gets at least one touchdown. All right, absolutely, And here's another thing that Chris is telling you about. Okay, when you do DFS, there's the stack, but the DFS another strategy

is you have to understand the game flow. Okay, So Chris is talking about Marshawn Lynch because he thinks, as do most people, that the Oakland Raiders are gonna dominate the Jets and be up by a lot in the second half. And when what do you do when you're up by a lot? You run the ball? Right now though, Right now, though, the Oakland Raiders are fourteen and a

half point favorites against the New York Jets. And if you think that that's too many points, you can go on over to my bookie dot a G and you could enter, you know, put a couple of shekels on the Jets if you think that's way too many points and they won't be able to cover that spread. I love my bookie dot a G. Okay, they pay out that fast. They have live you know, live lines in

game betting. Their reputation is rock solid. And if you go sign up right now and you enter the promo code freestyle tell them speeds the spitting statistician sent you, you will get a hundred percent match bonus on your initial deposit. Okay, so Chris, you went with DeMarco Murray and you went with Marshawn Lynch. Two games that you think those teams are gonna be up and running the ball. Let me tell you some of the running backs that I like in DFS for Week two, and I'm going

with a little Stars and scrubs here. You could pay up, and if you pay up, I recommend Ezekiel Elliott. Zeke is going for seven hundred on fan duel. And let me tell you something. They're up against the Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos have a completely elite secondary. The way to beat the Denver Broncos is not by the pass. I think Dallas knows that. I think they're gonna ride their stud offensive line and Ezekiel Elliott. I think they're gonna try to grind out this game a little bit

of a time of possession. So out of these high price running backs, I like Ezekiel Elliott. There are, however, a few lower end running backs that I think can do some work. The first guy I want to tell you, I think he's a cornerstone for lineup. This week's Time Montgomery. Time Montgomery, the running back of the Green Bay Packers. Like I said, in that game on Sunday Night, there's

going to be a ton of production. And the beauty with a guy like Time Montgomery is that he's not only going to see it in the running game, he's gonna be in the passing game as well. So I like Time Montgomery. There's also gonna be a ton of production in that game in the the Dome where the Saints take on the Patriots. So for that I'm going to Saints running back. Saints running back mark Ingram. I

like mark Ingram at six on fan Duel. Okay, mark Ingram, surprisingly dead does work out of the passing game as well. I like Time Montgomery. I like mark Ingram And to your point, Chris, the other running back I'll give out is Jonathan Stewart on the Carolina Panthers. He's going at only fifty on Fan Duel. I think the Carolina Panthers win their home opener against Buffalo and they will be in a similar situation trying to run the ball out,

run the clock out in the second half. And if you remember earlier in the week, I reported that the Panthers are looking to maybe limit Christian McCaffrey snaps, and I think that means even more Jonathan Stewart. Let's go to wide receivers, Chris and some you know we mentioned some of these already. The stack with Julio Jones, I'm

stacking him with Brandon Cooks and Jordy Nelson. Give me some of your other mid to low level wide receivers that you want to throw out there for a Week two I really like in this lineup, I actually have two mid to low level wide receivers in their Davante Adams on Green Bay. I think after Week one performance where he didn't get targeted as much, now everybody's jumping on the Randall Cob bandwagon. I think Adams comes back into the fold uh and then and has on touchdown

at least. Martavius Bryant is my other one. I think against the Minnesota Vikings defense, you know Xavier Rhodes is gonna be covering Brown most of the game, and you know they're gonna try to key on Levian Bell with the run game. Brian might have a couple of big plays in a touchdown, this one I really think. Okay, So that's an interesting play. That's a boom or bus kind of play. And that's what you gotta do if you're trying to win some of these big time tournaments.

You gotta go where you think the touchdowns are. You're right, Xavier Bumpy Roads will probably be on a b all day, and maybe Martavis Bryant can get past the thirty nine year old Terrence Newman. I got some other ideas for you. Remember how I said how um Dallas is going to try to attack Denver via the run, and that's why I love Ezekiel Elliott. Well, the flip side is also true. Denver is gonna try to attack the Cowboys via the past.

That Dallas Cowboys secondary um is completely new from last year. So I like Marius Thomas at seven thousand. I also like Emmanuel Sanders at six hundred, a little bit lower. Here's two cheaper wide receivers. I like four. Your one is Adam Feeling. Adam Feeling with over ten catch is in week one. I think he's primed to be kind of Sam Bradford's security blanket on FanDuel. He's going at only fifty eight hundred on fan duel. I like Adam Feeling. If you need a cheap wide receiver. The other cheap

wide receiver I'm gonna give you is Kendell Right. Kendell Right is only fifty four hundred on fan duel. Okay, I remember there have been so many injuries to the Chicago Bears. Okay, we're hearing about Jordan Howard. We know Kevin White is already gone. We know Cam Meredith is already gone. Somebody is gonna have to catch the ball. Everyone thinks it's gonna be Tyreek Cohen. Don't sleep on their wide receivers either. You can get a very cheap

option and Kendell Right at fifty four hundred. If you need a cheap option, that's where I like, Hey, Chris, tell me about your tight ends. Who do you like a tight end? Here? In week two? So week two right now, in this lineup, I have Jimmy Graham. I think after a lackluster Week one, once again people are gonna sleep on him. He'll be low owned. I like going on with the low own guys, right, uh, and Jimmy Graham could pop. I mean, he could get you

the touchdown you need. San Francisco's week uh, even though the Seattle Old line is weak. That's why I don't think they'll be able to run the ball as well as we might think against San Francisco, so they might have to throw it. And I think Jimmy Graham's the guy this week. I also like Kobe Fleaner Alie. I think he builds upon that week one month five catches in a touchdown. So those are my two tight ends. And I like, all right, fair enough. I like Kobe

Fleaner out there. You can get Kobe flein a pretty cheap as well. Remember a ton of production happening in the Dome as the Saints take on the Patriots. I'm gonna give you two other tight ends real quick. I like zach Ertz. I think zach Ertz continues to keep it rolling with Carson Wentz. And remember they're up against the Chiefs this week. The Chiefs lost. They're all pro safety Eric Berry in week one, so I think all the more opportunity for that middle of the field. Carson

Wentz to zach Ertz. I like zach Ertz at six on Fan duel the other tight end. I'm gonna give you as Charles Clay, Charles Clay and that Bill's Panthers game. Clay is only fifty two hundred. There are not a ton of options in this Buffalo offense. Okay, Tyrod Taylor does not have a chemistry yet with Jordan Matthews, does not have a chemistry yet with Zay Jones. We're here in reports that Shady Koy is a little banged up

as well. I like Charles Clay to possibly get into the end zone against the Panthers in week to give me a defense real quick, Chris, who do you like in defense? My defense, my sleep of defense. I really like they're also cheap Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Interest in Chicago Bears who are completely depleted and you know, as you've seen in Hard Knocks, I'm not playing off the Hard

Knocks thing. I know a lot of people too, but I just think that this defense is much improved and they have a great Week one matchup obviously and there at home. I just like that. I like that the emotion in that building as they kick off this season. And you're right in Hard Knocks, we saw the defensive line in general McCoy get a ton of pressure. I'm going slightly different on defense. I'm going with the Baltimore Ravens at against the Cleveland Browns there at home. That

defense shut out the Bengals last week. They now return home and they're going up against the Cleveland Browns team who is led by a rookie quarterback. I think he is primed to make uh some mistakes, especially with that pass swush coming in and a little bit better defense than he saw in Week one at home against Pittsburgh. I think Deshaun kaisers put them to make a mistake or two against the raven Fish. So I'm going with

the Baltimore Ravens at fort hundred. But if you have some more money to spend, why not the Oakland Raiders. They're gonna wup against the New York Jets, the j E t S who are tanking and trying to just end the season. I think that's the actual acronym for the Jets at fifty three hundred. I like the Oakland Raiders. Uh, this was fun, Chris. I like what you're doing over here. We're gonna make this a regular weekly thing, but only if you're lineup hits. Okay, so if your lineup doesn't hit,

we're not gonna have you back. Okay, that sounds fine. I think it's gonna hit. And I really love the um any defense that you stream against the Jets that week by week you could go with any defense against the Jets. You could also use them in your fantasy pools if you want. Okay, gone over to Fantasy Factor right now, you can use Chris's lineup, my lineup straight DFS contest. They got great ones and it's single entry, so you don't gotta worry about a hundred people entering

the polls. Okay, Fantasy Factor dot Com. When I come back, we're checking on the pole and I tell you what home dogs have a chance to cover and win in week to Dave Martinez Speeds the spitting statistician. I aint a play. I just crushed a lot right here on a Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back Fantasy Freestyle. Dante Foreman, I think is in a legit committee now with Lamar Miller. Okay, Lamar Miller had eighteen carries for sixty one yards. Dante

Foreman had twelve carries for forty yards. At Foreman is only owned in eight percent of leagues. I wouldn't be surprised if Foreman overtakes Lamar Mar Miller as the lead back in Houston by the second half of the season. Week days from seven to eight p m. E Stern Radio Network, Welcome back. We're dropping stats over beats. This fantasy freestyle which boy Speeds the spitting statistician so many

calls I couldn't get to them all. Remember, if you want to holler at me and still get my advice, you can just hit me up at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. I'll be sure to try and take care of all your questions. Right there. You heard Chris give his DFS lineup. I gave you some DFS action as well. What you could do, though, is go to Daily Promoto dot com or Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k MS. We

are teaming up to fight blood cancer. Okay. If you enter your lineup and win weeks one through sixteen, you then get entered into another DFS contest the week seventeen. If you win that one, you get two free tickets to Super Bowl fifty two in Minnesota. You learn about how you could also help us fight blood cancer. It is a win win situation. The Fantasy Sports Network partnering with d k MS, we got time for one more call,

and it's gonna be our friend of the show. If you listen to the Fantasy freestyle, you've heard him a bunch of is Taco in Alabama? Taco, make me help you one more time. I feel like I'm setting your lineup for you this week. I hope that means you win in week two, because then you'll have no faith whatsoever in me, Taco and Obama? How can I help you on a Friday as we close out the show? Uh, you don't set my line up. I'm the one that pushes the button. Do you just help out fair enough?

How can I help you? I need some advice. I've got a trade offer, h d J and Jamison Crowder for James White, Umder. You have DJ. Yeah, so this guy's offering you James White for DJ and Crowder. Listen, David Johnson is not going to come back to Envy of any value for you this year, Taco. He's not gonna be of any value for you this year. He is like a chip that you could just cash in and if it has value to someone else, mine as well.

If you're already okay at wide receiver, Yeah, I think that's okay to go with James white if it's a PPR league. If it's a PPR league, I think it's okay. If it's not, I don't because listen, DJ is not gonna be any value for you this season. So if it's a PPR league, Taco I'll take the James Whiteside shore sounds good. Thanks so much, man, Come on back next week and let me know how it is. And to everybody, thank you so much for the calls, for the tweets, for the love. I really appreciate it. I

am feeling the love. Like I said that, we gotta pull question up on Twitter and I asked you what home dog has the best chance to win. You got the Colts home laying more than a touchdown, the Saints, the Broncos, and the Jaguars. Last week. I told you I liked all four of the home dogs to beat win against the spread, and three of them did. You thought I was crazy. But the Browns covered against the spread, the Bears covered against the spread, the Lions and Jim

Bob Cooler one outright. The Niners were the only one this week. Out of the four, I only like one of them, though. I don't think the Jaguars cover against the Titans. I think they showed themselves to not be a first class team. I think the Titans win and cover there. I think the Cowboys go into Denver and win and cover because they grind it out in a time of possession kind of game and they use Ezekiel

Elliott as their bell cow to win that game. Of the other two, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the strongest play is the Indianapolis Colts at home. They're getting more than a touchdown, okay, and I think they're gonna go with Brissette. I think he's gonna be better than Tolzine there at home, so they won't get blown out as much. A touchdown is a lot. And here's the thing. I don't believe the Cardinals offense is

gonna be able to put up that many points. My lock of Luik, to be kind honest, is the Cardinals Colts under forty five right now, and so if there's not a lot of points being scored by either team, those seven and a half points kind of mean a lot. I know it. Sounds crazy, but take the Indianapolis Colts if you're catching more than a touchdown against the Cardinals because Carson Palmer is watched and without David Johnson, I don't believe in the potential of that Cardinals offense to

go on the road, even against the horrible defense. When it comes to the Saints and Pats, this is gonna be a shootout. I think the breeze and the then the Saints can maybe get a backdoor cover. So ultimately I'll take two of the home dogs. I'll take the Saints and I'll take the Colts. Good luck to everybody winning some cash this week. Good luck to everybody in

their Fantasy rostlers their DFS lineups. If you need last minute help, I'll be right here back Sunday morning from nine am to kickoff on Lineup Block Live with Emery Hunt, Maria Marino, My Man, Tony Senkata, Jake Seely and Corey Parson and the whole crew. Tune in for eleventh hour help. I'm your boys, Speeds the Spitting Statisticians. See you next week on the Fantasy Freestyle
