We be holding you down all the time to help you win your league and win that CASHO. Speeds and Rocks and Rocks say with us to people, you know what's good y'alls rocks one young fist full of rings. I can't believe that we are already in week seven. It's crazy. I was talking.

I know. I mean, time flies when it's the NFL season, and I feel one thing, one thing is that time can't fly quick enough though to get us past this election. I'm so sick of it dominating headlines on a Monday. Ryan Fitzpatrick's performance should be on the back cover of the New York Posts. Let's start, though, because we had a lot of stuff happening in week six that we

gotta govern. Obviously, the biggest issue, the biggest injury, shall we say, big Ben Roethlisberger had meniscus surgery on Monday. Varying reports now we're seeing, you know, I mean it talks about like what kind of surgery. It was, like a knee bruise or something that they discovered from last year exactly, so they went in and clean some things up. We're hearing everything like some people are saying it could be two to three weeks, some people are saying it

could be four to six weeks. And by some people, I mean like the owner and the head coats. So who knows about that. But Big Ben is known to fight through and play kind of injured. I know he's gonna want to get back as soon as possible. They do have a buy in there have anything games you think they're gonna wind up missing. I mean, he's he's definitely not playing this week obviously, and they do have

the weekend Bibe. We're gonna get into that game, big game for them against the Patriots a little bit later. But you know, I think you've got to look at it as a fantasy owner. On the worst case scenario, I think you prepare for the worst and you expect the best. If you're gonna make a move for another quarterback to to replace him with, I would do that sooner rather than later, because you also, you know, teams

sometimes they're not quite that clear. You saw the whole thing with Mike Tomlin and the Ladarius Green injury situation. You know, so Pittsburgh really has no reason to be totally transparent. Obviously they want him back as soon as possible, but you can't count on, you know, you can't count on reading between the lines on an injury like a Rocks.

Who's some who's some quarterbacks out there that might, you know, you might want to get into if if you have been ben and uh, you know you're looking for a quarterback, you know, well, I think the main thing I can say there is don't pick up Landry Jones. If if you're in the league of any size, you know Andy Landry Jones is only really in play in very deep

quarterback leagues or the super flex um. You know, I would also advise people to stay away from the new Jets quarterback who we're going to get into odd you know what I'm saying, Like a Tyrod Taylor, Tyrod, if a guy like Tyrod Taylor is available, if a guy like you know, maybe Sam Bradford which was dropping by by available, we would you still take a guy like

Jameis Winston if he's available. Yeah, I mean, I think Jamis Winston is a guy who still has a ton of upside even though they want to do they want to do more in the running game. And you know, I mean, I just think that you really have to go, depending on the size of your league, to match ups or decide if it's time to fight the bullet deal from a position to strength and get yourself, you know, a real top tier option. But if you are going to do that, it's important that you do it now.

Eddie Lacey also sent to I are that ankle Apparently that is not terrible job, terrible look for the P nine d X man. That's bad for your and that is definitely bad for the brand. It's more like LB you know, it's really the timing. And I don't know if it was just cruel irony or that was maybe something that was leaked by the organization. But you started hearing those reports, you know, early in the day on Thursday, saying that he had gained a ton of weight and

that the coaching staff was unhappy with him. And then it seemed like an hour or two later, you know, he was having ankle surgery. He was going to be I R on I R. I mean, despite his considerable girth and heft, Eddie Lacey was actually having a really good year. Look at Spry for a big man, averaging over five yards to carry, and you know, for a Packers offense, it's kind of struggled to find an identity. It's gonna be really interesting to see what they've been

moving forward. Moving on. We talked about the Buffalo Bills last week and Empire weeks, the idea of Anthony Lynn that running backs coach now the offensive coordinator. We were both very high on Shady McCoy. He had a great game San franci against San Francisco forty niners with three touchdowns. It looked like he was injured and overcame. But now they're talking about us damn as Ben did too, which

is instant speeds. At some point you texted me and when O'Dell was out of it and he's still missing practice and we were like they all texted me. You were like, Yo, they're all back, which is crazy. Um, but yeah, I mean as far as as far as um Lashawn McCoy is concerned, you know, we talked about our our top running backs moving forward and he was he was definitely Star five someone we both mentioned. He's, you know, currently going into week seven, the number two

overall RB and PPR league. So this is a really really big loss for the Buffalo, for the Buffalo Bills, and you know, I think it's gonna put a lot more pressure on Tyrod because you know, they're not going to be facing the Miami Dolphins every week and they're not going to be able to run the ball against the run defenses that are that are you know, a class up. But I mean think about this now, if you're the Buffalo Bills and you've had Sammy Watt, let's go out. You have the Shawn mcboy go out. I

think Charles Clay was questionable as well. Even now Robert Woods is out, you know I've talked about before putting like fifty three men in the box to stop running back. Like, at this point, what do they have besides Tyrod Taylor? You know they've they signed Justin Hunter off the street for former former second round pick reclamation projects. He's actually gonna see yeah and Tennessee. Just just a guy, just a guy. I want winners. I want people that want

to win. That's a fool gaze. How do you know it's a fool gazing? You looked at it for Coop seconds. It's a fake Hey, I know what the full gazing. I cannot play with him, cannot win with him, cannot coach with him. You can't do it. It's not an exciting offense. They're gonna win, you know, grinding the ball out, grinding the running game out. And if that defense can keep playing the way they've been playing, I think that that's you know, that's something that they might be able

to get away with. One question though, for you speech, what do you think Carlos Williams is is thinking about right now? I saw Colins Williams is trying to work out and you know, cut the bomb bonds out. So we'll keep our eyes on that. That's just another guy. Remember, just like you said, and you know someone else who you correctly, I gotta give it to you. Here are

Fantasy Freestyle and Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What we do is, you know, we hold ourselves accountable with those gentlemen's bets. And you said, Rocks, that Ryan Fitzpatrick had a better chance of being benched than repeating his two thousand and fifteen performance, and lo and behold, after six weeks, he has in fact been bench in favor of Geno Smith. I'm gonna give you time for you to gloat on this one, Rocks. Let him know you called just shot. Yeah. Man.

You know you might remember me talking about the dropped interceptions how I felt I felt Ryan, Bryan Fitzpatrick and anything you know, really underperformed last year and happened to get really lucky with some touchdowns, dropped interceptions, and in the Jets playing a very very weak schedule. I thought that when they had a tougher schedule, you know, some of that luck was going to regress to the mean and he wouldn't become who we thought he was. But

they are who we thought they were. But they are who we thought they were but they are who we thought they were. But they are who we thought they were. Yeh about the hook. If you want to drown him, they drowned her ass too confident in his own decision making, too confident in his arm strength and just prone to staring down wide receivers and you know, having it way too easy for his raps to get picked. And that's

what we saw here. I didn't think it would be this absolute and this complete, But yeah, I know it has been bad, and you knew since the sixth interception game in Kansas City. Here's the thing, though, as a Jets fan, I actually um support Magic Mike Mike mccagnet here and you know head coached her Todd Bowles because I think they actually knew this. This is why they

carried four quarterbacks on the roster um. And I think they're making the right move right now to go to Geno Smith and what is probably a lost season and you're gonna find out what he has then, you know. Fits. That's why they did not sign him to a long term deal. That's why they did not agree to some kind of brock Oswiler contract. I'd rather be with the Jets are right now. Than the Houston Texans are because Filers garbage exactly. So next year they're gonna be able

to move on from Gino and Fits. They have both of their young developmental quarterbacks and Petty and Hackenburg. I'm not saying either one of them are gonna be the answer, but then they'll be in a position where they can spend money for some quarterback. Now, I don't know who's gonna be out there. You know, you were throwing some names around, you were I was getting it was getting

Jimmy Jimmy Garops, there's Jimmy Garoppolo out there. But if you want to do some kind of same old Jets nonsense, they'll probably make a move for an older quarterback that's on the decline, a guy like Tony Romo, guy like Jane Cutler could really handle New York. No, of course he hasn't been able to handle. Of course he couldn't. Money is having both New York quarterbacks with that sad face. Think of the back page of the New York Post in the Daily news Man. Check it out. That's what

we're gonna do. We talk about all this on the Fantasy Freestyle Rocks and Speeds in the place to be. We're gonna do is We're gonna pay a pay some bills. We're gonna pay some bills. We're gonna pay some bills. And when we come back, we're gonna dive into all of these week seven games that we're gonna talk about and tell you who to sit, who start, who fade, who play on that DFS so you can win your league and win that cash speeds. Would you say, we've

got the skills to pay the bills. We have the skills to pay the bills, and that's where they're gonna come back. We're dropping status over beats at the Fantasy Freestyle check it out Rock speed Yo thirty four and looks on to the Nicholas Son, Francis joll and the Shopton. Gary, Hey, somebody's running on the field, So I'm goof ball and a half and a red shirt. And he takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by the fifty. He took a thirty. He's para chested and bagging his

chest and he runs the opposite away. Give ons with the fifty, give ons with the forty. The guy's drunk, but there he goes the twenty chasing up can get him leaving his arms here chested, somebody's top. He comes the blue joke, They got him, Here comes the Holy They tackle without a party line. For it was the most exciting thing that happened to night. I'd tell you what. That was a great call on your part. That was a great call. Welcome back. You're listening to the Fantasy

Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's Dervoid Rocks, one young fist full of rings with my Man Speeds, the spitting Statistician. We put a poll up for our Twitter users, for Twitter followers, We're like, yo, there's a handful of games, which ones would you like us to talk about this week? Because most people have spokes and speak. They did loud and clear. There was actually a tie.

Don't demand to recount, but there was a tie. It was Ravens Jets and Bills Dolphins equal number of votes for those two games. So we're gonna break down both of them, and that Segus really really nicely to start talking about that Jets game. After our discussion about the Jets ghosts of the quarterback past, present and future. They've got Geno starting in this one, and you know, I don't even choose Gino over packs when I'm in Philadelphia, I'm not choosing him to have a good game against

the Ravens. Marshall. I actually think Brandon Marshall is the one Jets skilled player that you can trust this week. The Ravens have been getting tours. They've allowed the most touchdown passes of any team in the NFL. Marshall has proven throughout his career he's able to elevate subpark quarterback play. And you know, he's as good of a bed as any wide receiver in league. For a hundred yards or

a touchdown. Any given week, Gino is gonna have to force feed him targets with Decker out, Uh, you know, And I just really think that if you're Gino, you're trying to show something, you know, you're trying to look downfield, trying to make some play. Though he didn't look like he had it in him in his brief appearance on Monday Night for sure. Ever, how about this song on you Know? And it's true, the Jets offense has been undimake Interestingly enough, the Jets offense has scored two touchdowns

over the last now sixteen quarters. And this is from an offense that last year scored at least two touchdowns in every game of the season. But interestingly enough, I don't know about the Baltimore team they're playing either. Now Flacco has miss practiced again. This could be the worst quarterback games fall season, and we could see Ryan Mallett verse doesn't problem, that's a problem. I don't know. But and listen, Terrence West has been really who the Ravens

have been riding over the last few weeks. But the one thing this Jets defense still does well is stop the run. I do not think Terrence West is in line for another eighties seven yard to touchdown performance. Okay, I think, um, if you want, though, it might be

an interesting opportunity to buy low on Kenneth Dixon. Okay, Kenneth Dixon has been maybe growing in his role, and I think against the Jets, who you know, horble against the past and have shown that they have not been good at covering running backs out of the backfield, I

think that could be a nice play. You know their receivers, you know Flacco was spreading it around a lot, and whoever the quarterback is would be spreading it around a lot, Especially now I do like though, Mike uh, Mike Wallace up because with this offensive coordinator change going to Marty morning Wig. He likes plays that flipped the field, and he likes going deep and Mike Wallace is perfectly bred for that. So keep an eye on Mike Wallace this week. Yeah,

I agree with you. Speed's definitely. I mean, I like, I'm obviously a lot more if big arm Flacco is starting, Wallace is actually seen ten targets or more three games in a row, I'd say all bets are off With Ryan Mallett. However, I'm a little bit more bullish than you are on Terence West, largely because I do think that Marty morning Whig is going to continue to feed him again. This is what got the previous O c

Mark Tressman fired, not giving Terence West the ball. And I think, you know, you could see maybe twenty carries it's called seventy five yards, a couple of catches out of the backfield. I think he's gonna push about ninety total yards in this game. What do you think about that, speeds. I say that Terrence West does not get to ninety five combined yards against the New York Jets. This week combined yards. Ah, man, you're making me go up an

extra five. That's right, all right, all right, all right against my better judgment because I like him at ninety I think like ninety one on the nose. But I'll make that gentleman's better. That Terrence West is going to get nine five or more combined yards against a tough Jets run defense. That's a gentleman's value. ROX was the next game you gotta talk about here? Yeah, I'd like to. I'd like to go to the second game that our Twitter followers overwhelmingly told us that they wanted us to

talk about. Overwhelming said it was time Time. Overwhelmingly it was the second overwhelming choice. The other two games barely got any votes at all. You know, two different people look at polls and see two different things. It's crazy here in America. Um, you know, I guess people wanted to hear about the Adam Gays offense and wanted to hear more about this running back situation in Buffalo sunny Miami.

I mean, we've had some nice weather on the East coast, but it's nicer in Miami unless you're that Adam Gaze offense, which really has failed to take flight in the league in total yards. You know we're gonna get into a little bit later. Why I don't think that j I j I E is going to really be able to do much in this one. Tannehill, nah Man, Tannehill should definitely be on your bench this week, where you should

have dropped him a while ago. Only player on the Miami side of things that really likes Jarvis Landry, who's proven he's a real asset in PPR leagues. You know, he's someone I think that could be reliable as a wide receiver to on the Miami side of Thanks. Hello, you play to win the game, you don't play it just quaitet. You know. We're gonna have a little bit

more on that one later. We had a little bit more on that earlier, at the point I want you to take home on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network to all our Twitter followers, you holler at us and we will howler back before we go on to the next game. Didn't we have a question in our mail bag? We did? We did? We did. We had a question from Joe from Austin. Joe, thanks for getting at the Fantasy Freestyle.

We had a question that deals with another New England wide receiver last week, and questions about Julian Edelman this week.

Joe from Austin notes that, you know, this New England offense is known from spreading it around, and a lot of different guys have gotten targets, you know, over the years, uh in the slot hand outside, guys like Danny Amondbla, you know obviously Julian Edelman, West Well, Dry West Welker and in that mold we have now seven eleven, always opened Chris Hogan and Joe from Austin wants to know about his future of prognosis. His future value doesn't carry

value moving forward. I mean, I really feel like basically ever since Randy Moss, they've struggled to find that dominant receiver on the outside. You know, they had hoped that Brandon Lafel was going to be that guy to do it. He couldn't do it. I don't. I don't really think that Chris Hogan can do it. He's scrappy, he's definitely gritty, and you know, he's the type of guy that works hard and says all the right things and just wants

the team to win. If you catch my drift and you know Belichick and Tom Brady will definitely make sure that he gets the ball. Occasionally he'll score some touchdowns, but I don't really see him being a fantasy option unless your league rewards for grit and scrappy, no doubt. And on the Pittsburgh side of things, it's really hard to talk about this game as well. Um, you are going to mention Antonio Brown a little bit later on, and you know, with Ben out and Landry Jones taking over,

you really have precautions. I'm taking the weight into the approach I do. I would think Lebyan Bell is a locked and loaded to the RB one regardless of the situation. Yeah, man, I agree with you. You know, he's a bit expensive on fan duel this week, but I think just basically the fact that he's so valuable out of the backfield really gives him a very very high floor. You know, historically when Ben has missed time, Levian Bell has been

more productive than Antonio Brown. But I think any catcher besides Brown on the on the Steeler side of things is completely hands off. This is not the week to mess around with Sammy Coakes. But I will say with New England, I think that Tom Brady is gonna put a hurting on this past defense. I think he's gonna throw for more than three hundred yards and a couple of scores. I've probably said it two times already this season, but to me, this feels like the Julian Edelman breakout game.

I think you're gonna see him with at least six or seven catches and a touchdown in this one. Another point I want to make real quick. Even after Gronk exploded for seven catches a hundred sixty yards and a TUDD last week, Martellis Bennett was still the t E fifteen right on the cusp of a starting option. I think that both of them are gonna be able to eat.

And if his floor is five catches for about fifty yards, that's a lot better than you're doing in a lot of other places at a very thin and volatile tight

end position. You know, I like that Rocks and you know, speeds and spitting statistician I've been saying for weeks now, both on the Fantasy Freestyle and on Shop Callers on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, where you can catch me every Monday, Wednesday Friday from seven a pm East certain time I've been saying that I think this offense can support the two tight ends, and it really goes through their tight ends in their backs. All the more reason that I do not like Chris Hogan, that I do

not like Julian Edelman. We've been talking about that on Fantasy Freestyle, and our questions from the mailbag have been that over the last two weeks, we gotta move on to another game. We go to the Sunday morning game in London where the New York Giants this is actually a Los Angeles Rams home game, and uh, you know, Jeff Fisher, uh could not handle that prosperity. He was two games above five hundred at three and one, and

then boom boom, loses the next two. Of course he does to go right back to that more comfortable five hundred. Bob Coola lit him up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of people are gonna lie up up. Listen, he is not going to be able to handle being two games over five hundred. You know what it is um on the giant side of things, Listen. Odell Beckham was fed. He got He catches for two hundred and twenty two yards two touchdowns. I think it is good for Olddell

Beckham to get away. I think he needs to have a snickers bar and stop being as diva as he is. I don't care about this kicking that. You know. He needs to get and get that space and just start to focus on football. Going a little team business trip with his team. I think this is good for him at this time. Last week he I had a great game, you know, big volume, throwing thirty four hundred and three yards, really breaking out of that shell. He was to QB

twenty three. Going in two week six, having a breakout game. I think he can have another good game as he starts to spread it around Victor Cruz, Sterling Shepherd even tight ends Larry Dinnel. You know about o d B. I've liked Bobby Rainey out of the backfield. I think he will maintain his role, especially because Rashard Jennings did not have that good of a game in his return,

going only nine carries for fifteen yards. But against this Rams two ranked defense against the run, the Rams be given up hundred and fifteen yards per game, and you would not think that. With Aaron Donald roaming that defensive line, I think the Giants might have an opportunity to start eating. I think the Rams could fall flat. This could be a trap game on Sunday top of the morning to yeah man uh, you know, And I think that both Elion O'Dell to your point, looking like they're gonna have

a really really solid matchup. The Rams t is also pretty middle of the road. They got lit up by Stafford last week. They might be without Robert Quinn and Trueman Johnson. That's gonna further weaken them. I just kind of, you know, I'm just really curious about like how much Eli Manning understands about like different countries and continents, Like do you think he'll understand he's not in America for that game. It depends if he can find if he can find some good you know, fish and chips, I

think he'll be okay. And you know, will Odell Beckham be you know, interviewed on the BBC like hugging or running into or talking to a soccer neft do you think maybe it's possible to do it, But that would be cheating on the kicking net and that is a big problem. One last point I want to say on the RAMS side of things is look out for Kenny Britt that someone I gave you on shot call, but British gave him on shot calls a couple of weeks ago.

Kenny Britt in the British are coming over there in London. You know you might for seven catches on the thirties six yards and two touchdowns last week, but this has been consistent. He is ninth in the NFL with four hundred and ninety two yards. Another game I know we want to talk about is going to Sunday Night football this week. That would be Monday Night Football. We're talking about Sunday Night. I cannot play with him, cannot win

with him, cannot coach with him, can't do it. Sunday Night Football where the Seattle Seahawks go to Arizona in a division matchup inn NFC West Division matchup. I like what Russell Wilson continues to do. If you want, thirty five thirty seven with two hundred and seventy yards, and this is Christian Michael's job. They even said it's still that Thomas Rawls is still a couple of weeks away. He'll be gone till November. Yeah, man, I mean, what's really interesting to me in this? In this game is

the extent to uh. The Arizona Cardinals have just sung lean on me into David Johnson's ears because that Carson Palmer and the passing game is not strong right now at all. Seattle is not the place to get right. I told you I thought that they were going to completely light up the Jets last week. It did not happen. It matched up perfectly vertical passing game, Jets lack of ability to defend that. Carson Palmer was shut out until the fourth quarter. Wain threw a little chief feet of

Michael Floyd. I do not think he's going to have a good start at all present practices. Even if he's healthy, you're fading him. He's not shown the ability to do anything with pressure this year. The line is not looking great. You know, Seattle is gonna get after him. The only past catcher I'd consider is Fitzy. He's been completely consistent, seeing a scene about seven or eight targets in every

single game. He's already got five touchdowns. He's the only wide receiver I'd consider starting, and I would start him with confidence. All right, you know, check it out. Um. I will say this so that Cardinals defense um might be able to hold down Seattle a little bit. They are six in the NFL, giving up only seventeen point

three points a game. But one thing you should remember is last year when the Cardinals were on their way rolling to the NFC Championship game and blowing people out, the Seattle Seahawks went in there and embarrassed late in the season, late in the actually when things started going downhill for Carson. This is a rivalry. They are not gonna be excited to see each other. Rivalry week for Al Michaels and Chris hollins Worth. Yo, you want to talk about Monday night football as well. We have the

Houston Texans going to the Denver Broncos. And listen, don't be fooled by brock Oswiler's stats last week when he when he had two touchdowns, you know me added his stats at the end with two d passing yards. He looked bad for most of the game. Chris Collinsworth was even making fun of him. Now they go against this Denver defense on the road in prime time. I'm worried about the Houston offense. I know you like Lamar Miller. I'm also worried about DeAndre Hopkins for yet another week

going against those Denver cornerbacks in a spot. It really just doesn't look like rock Hotswiler is at home in this offense. No, And you know, again we we talked. We talked a bit about the Jets quarterback situation and giving Fixie one year versus what the Texans did is opened up in check Clior million noose around their neck for a while. Yeah, and you know, it also just fodes very poorly for the entire offense because Denver is a lot stronger against the past than they are against

the run. I'm fading DeAndre Hopkins. Obviously you don't own brock oswild Er. Nothing is seen there. I do think Lamar Miller remains firmly in the r BE one conversation, primarily due to volume. And as I said, Denver's run defense is living a little bit on their reputation from

last year. They are still very strong, but you can see if the offensive line is opened up holes like they did last week against the Colts, you can see Lamar Miller having another solid game and I think his owners had to be thrilled with the burst he was showing the decisiveness hitting the whole and that second touchdown wasn't thing of absolute beauty, showing off how shifty he

can be in the open fields, no doubt. And the last point I want to make about this game is Zo Rocks and Speeds, we both tip our cap to Gary Kubiak, who will return to the sidelines in this game on Monday night. Fo Yo, check it out when we come back. Well, we're gonna do is. We're gonna give you our flagships segments. Okay for week seven, We're gonna give you those diamonds in the rough and the

Fantasy food gazies forget about it. That's what Rocks and Speeds do here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Here. We'll be right back after this. 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. Hello, you play to win the game, you don't play to just play it. Yeah, we're back.

After breaking down all those weeks seven games, you still got Rocks and Speeds here. We're dropping status over beats. It's the fantasy freestyle. That's what we do on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Your Rocks is that time we're gonna hit him with that flagship stuff that we do. Yeah man, yeah man, And that means our game flow genius and our diamonds in the rough and fool gay forget about it, Rocks, one young fist full of rings. Make sure those are real diamonds and none of those

fake stones. Yo, Let's let's change it up a bit. Let's just let's do diamonds first. And you know we got we gotta diamond Me and Speeds. You know, we do our research a little bit, and then we kind of comment were just like yo, with the fantasy freestyle, we're gonna how are we gonna how we're gonna shake it out this week? And uh, we both have one of the same diamonds. We got overlapping diamonds. Overlapping diamonds that trillion cutsn um and uh. When me and Speeds disagree, man,

sometimes you gotta kind of just make the discussion. Gentleman's about stuff, but you gotta kind of just, you know, decide whose side you're on. But when we agree, that's how you win your league and win that cats what we're going We are going to the end Indian Alley. Yeah, man, we agree on young Mr Jack Doyle. He started off the season really really hot and then saw himself faded.

This play is all about Dwayne Allen. Opportunity missing Week seven, opportunity be knocking dollars on fan duel seems almost too good to be true. He played of the snaps last week after Duyne Allen departed with the injury. You know, he scored a touchdown. He was playing a much tougher defense. The Titans are also pretty solid against the tight end position. They're not quite as good as Houston, though, and I think that he's gonna be their number one option in

the red zone and only behind t Y for targets. Yeah. I like that. I liked that. I was looking that way as well, especially when I saw the Duyne Allen injury, and also, like you know, Philip dors Set was banged up for them a little bit, and even before the injuries, Andrew Loved was looking to Jack Doyle in the red zone. He already had some touchdown So I like that a lot of That's another that's a great diamond in the rough. I'm gonna give you a diamond in the rough. Check

it out, UM, Adam Humphries. Adam Humphries with the Tampa Bay Bucks. This is also an opportunity cost. Okay, Vincent Jackson goes through the I r UH this week and listen, before that, Adam Humphries had been getting targets. He already had thirty one targets. He had one game, a big game in week three where he had twelve targets, went four hundred yards and nine catches. Jamis Winston already trusts him,

and Jamis has been thrown, throw and thrown. There have been weeks with Jamis Winston has spent up over fifty attempts. They are coming off thereby. And the other thing is this week in Tampa, there was also knew that Doug Martin had a setback, right, so that means Jocquiz Rogers is the only other real viable back there. So you know, I could see I could see the forty Niners really keying in on trying to stop Mike Evans and that UM could leave Adam Humphries open. These only eight percent owned.

I think you can go and get him right now. I think that's a nice little DFS play for you this week on the fan Duell I gave that out on shot Callers on Friday, So um, yeah man, Adam Humphrees diamond in the rough and that's Adam Humphries pronounced within Humphries. Oh ladies, Oh how I like to thump yeah man and my second diamond multi finger rings rocks one young fist full of rings. It's a guy's feeds just mentioned and that's jacq quiz Roger quiz pop quiz

hot Chad. Who's the bus starting running back against the league worst forty Niners defense? Jack quiz flat quiz. It's just really fun to say. Jacquis Rogers is a guy who was always kind of viewed as a third down back leading Atlanta. Never saw a ton of burn, and I think that's probably for the best. But he got a rapping thirty five touches in Week five before the by he grounded out. He got a hundred yards and

five catches vers a Carolina defense. That's not what they were a year ago, but they're a hell of a lot better than forty Niners defense that's now missing Navarro Bowman. They are just getting gash. They are the last in the league against the run, and it's by a fairly wide margin. Winston has certainly been throwing the ball more than the Bucks would have liked, and they've been talking about taking the ball out of his hands, and they really you assume it's gonna be something they're gonna try

to continue after the bye week. Except for all that production for my diamond in the rough, Adam Humphries announced with an hump freeze quiz jocquiz pop quiz jacquiz. He's not very talented, you know, and this is definitely some guy that is probably gonna be his last hurrah as soon as Doug Martin comes back. But what I will say is that the opportunity is there. He's only fifty six hundred dollars on fan duel, and you saw what the forty Niners defense has done to running backs this year.

Shady McCoy went nuts last week. They've just been getting gash the prices right. The time is now the diamond is shining. Jock quiz rogers pop quiz. I like that. I like that a lot. Put them in your dff F lineups and smoke them. But when you have diamonds, you also have food days. These those are people that I think you have got to avoid. How do you know to foodcasing? You looked at it for seconds? Should

fake very notification and listen. If you've been listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, if you've been listening to us on the iTunes, Have you've been listening to us on the Stitcher, on the Google Play, on the audio boom, on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, cap in any of those ways that you can hear us for free. Okay, that's the bomb right there. You can get all this advice when you lead and win

that cash for free. It's an opportunity cost. But if you've been listening to Fantasy Freestyle, then you know that I have been on this early. I have been on fading the wide receiver's opposite Exaviere Bumpy Roads, and this week that wide receiver is Jordan Matthews Philadelphia. It was okay, they've also been saying earlier. Force this week came out that George Matthews dealing with me tendonitis. I mean that

sounds painful. I think that's code word for Xavier Rhodes flu. Okay, he's trying to set expectations low before the game is even because he knows he's gonna get a lot don like football imitating life exactly. But here's the other thing I um and I've been saying this on shot callers as well, UM as defenses get more and more tape on rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. This maybe the part of the season where we start to see a lull in

their play. Will rookie quarterback Carson Wentz be able to make the adjustments necessary to continue him himself looking like poise had poised and command of the offense and things like that. The other point that I've been making is the suspension for Lane Johnson Pro Bowl left tackle was

finally upheld, right, so now he's missing games. I think that also changes the Philadelphia offense you saw last week against Washington did not score an offensive touchdown, had only the Malcolm Jenkins interception return for the touchdown and the one those smallwood uh specialty. Nice nice and nice day for their dfs exactly, but their offense is nothing okay, And now they have Minnesota coming in after the bye. That's I think not going to be a hot better fantasy.

I say, I think you fade all these Philadelphia Eagles, but the six, specifically Jordan Matthews going up against bumpy roads. He's my food gazing forget about how do you know? Food gazing looking fake? Very noted for gazing, forget about it. And one of the things I've been saying all season long in DFS, don't chase the points, because when you chase the points, that's when the points start running. And

my first example of that is Jay. You had him in your lineup last week against the Pittsburgh team that was playing the run a lot tougher than the past. Props to you, but no one saw that coming. I think the market on fan duel overcorrected on him. He's sixty four hundred this week. I think that he has never run before for fifty yards even in his career before last week, So expecting any sort of repeat performance against the Buffalo team that's much much, much tougher against

the run, even at home. And what I think is gonna be a trap game. Trap game. I am fading j I g i e hard this week. And I also think you're gonna see a little bit more Arian Foster. That's what I was gonna say he's getting healthy and you're not gonna see I g I e with as hot of a hand as he had last week. I was thinking the same thing, you know. I do know that Adam Gaze said that they want to get one of their running backs going and get away from that

like four person running back committee that they had. But I still do think Arian Foster will get more than the three carries he got last week. And I think that's a safe bet that I will not have, you know, over two hundred rushing yards again. My second fool, Gaze Rocks, I'm gonna stay in that game is uh listen, I'm gonna go Tyrod Taylor here because we discussed it. We discussed all the injuries the Bills have had, you know, with McCoy and with Robert Woods out, adding to Sammy

Watkins like he has no real weapons. I don't think the Buffalo is going to be able to effectively move the ball. They are on the road in a divisional matchup. I expect this to be a lower scoring game, and I do not think, you know, I do not think there's a lot of production coming from this game. He might have one bomb to that Marquis Goodwin, you know, or Southemanity, you know, one touchdown and I'll make get some rushing yards that I do not think he is

going to have a good game. Call it under two hundred yards passing for Tyrod Taylor. You might get saved by some kind of rushing touchdown, but I don't think it's gonna happen Tyrod Taylor this week against Miami. Gaze forget about my last few gay Zy is filed under. Definitely do not forget about him. But I don't see paying nine thousand dollars for Antonio Brown in DFS with

Landry Jones at his quarterback. This is another situation where the market has not yet reacted to the reality of the situation, and that is Antonio Brown has never caught a touchdown from someone not named Ban Roethlisberger. He did actually do all right in the one start Landry Jones had last year. He went six for about twenty five.

But they're playing the New England Patriots, who have made a living for the past decade, taking away the thing that the other team does best, and I think that they are really gonna focus on shutting down Antonio Brown and forcing the Steelers to beat them on the ground with Lashawn McCoy with Levian Bell Hello, with Levian Bell Le Champcoy Gonna be laid been street clothes on the sideline in Buffalo. Hello, And by that I mean in Miami,

much nicer weather, folks. You should visit sometimes. Hello. What I'm saying, though, is that I really think that as a Brown owner myself, obviously you're not benching him in any sort of season long leagues. He's just too good and there's just not that many other wide receivers you've even come close to hoping would have his production. But the floor is not what it once was. If I could sign up right now for six catches and seventy yards,

I would gladly, gladly, gladly take that. There's no way that I'm paying nine thousand dollars from my man in DFS. Chill on that Antonio Brown, Sorry, homie, business not booming in the fake diamond trade. How do you know it's a food gazing who looked at its fake? I forgot about Yeah, take it out here Rocks and Speeds on the Fantasy Freestyle, the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yo. You could always follow us at Fantasy Freestyle, no Heed, because

we don't make no errors on the Fantasy Freestyle. Yo. Check it out. We got another flagships segment. We gotta do. All these people they know about how we give it to them. We give them them game flow geniuses. We're looking at a couple of games that we think my flow for certain players, whether that be you know they're gonna be up, they're gonna be down, they're gonna be flowing over the middle, then do bad against the tight end. Whatever.

We're gonna give you a little nugget why these guys are good for you this week, Yo, Ross Week seven, Who is your game flow genius? Yo, I have a couple of game flow genie I gen geniuses. Geniuses Genie I, I just I just invented it right rhymes um so yo, my my game flow genius. My first one is Philip Rivers. Really really like him as a middle of the pack option and fan duel for seventy eight hundred dollars that

seems really really underpriced to me. Facing a Falcons team that is just getting lit up, I expect the high scoring game. So Dos Vegas at fifty three, it's the highest over under in Week seven and listen, you know the Falcons are gonna be scoring in this game. They've had one of the most explosive offenses all season, and the San Diego defense, especially missing their star cornerback Jason Varette who's out for the season, is just not going

to be able to stop Julio Jones and France. That means the game flow, if you will, is going to dictate that young Philip is gonna be chucking the ball all over the place, and Philip is gonna be able to put up points against that Atlanta defense as well. Okay, I I like that to be a shootout. YO. The Chargers have you know, done a great job of losing games all year, but like Philip Ververs has, Philip Rivers has actually been the quarterback nine so far to start

the season. That it's crazy when you think about how important Tenan Allen is to that offense and how much they leaned on Danny Woodhead. I really think he's going to post top five numbers in this one. Even though Antonio Gates has basically been a shell of his former self, Hunter Henry has been stepping up big time in a part time role. I really like Rivers in this one. I think he's a great, great, great option at seventy eight hundred on fan Dwell in a game with the

highest over under of the week. You know listening, I mean Vegas knows what they're doing. We like always going to those games that have the high overunders. Um and Philip Rivers also favorite quarterback of uniforms everywhere. My game flow genius is in another game I expect to be high scoring Jim Bob couder verus that Washington football team Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, I total on the board and could be a shootout,

an offensive game. And that's the Washington football team against you know who, Jim Bob Cooder and the Detroit Lions. And in that game listen last week, the Lions put up thirty one point. You know, you had Matthew stafford Um keeping control of the ball, four touchdowns, no turnover to no interceptions, but they had no run game. Okay, Zack Center only one four carriages fifty eight yards and justin Foresett only had five carries for five yards. But that was the first time he had ever been their

eyes on the street exactly. I think this guy is going to actually need the early down back. You know, Theo Riddick, Dwayne Washington still battling injuries and in a game that I think is gonna have some production. I like the Jim Bob Cooder offense. I think Justin Forest, who knows how to get to catch the back ball out of the backfield, did so for Baltimore for a while. I think this could be a sneaky play. Um. Yeah,

Justin Foresett games genius. You heard it here first. Since the Speeds the spitting statistician letting you know in a high score of game. Check it out, yo, I really that Speeds And Justin for Set I really like Justin Forcet. He was advertising his services on Twitter after he was after he was cut by the Ravens, and you know, I think he could definitely do some work in that game that I think they are going to need to run the ball. I got a pair of additional added

bonus game flow in the same game. We didn't get a chance to break it down, but we did just talk about how we expected Philip Rivers to be putting up points based on game flow. I really like the dual two headed monster in the backfield. For Atlanta on

this one of them, I like both of them. I think that, you know, San Diego, among their many deficiencies on defense, they've been eaten up by backs who are able to run and catch the ball, which describes both Tevin Coleman and DeVonta Freeman on fan duel, I much preferred Tevin Coleman at sixty two hundred than I do to Freeman, who I think is a little bit over

priced at seventy five hundred. What I will say though, is this is gonna be a high score in game, and I think that there's gonna be many, many fantasy players who have weak winning performances. That's why I'm looking to both Tevin Coleman and DeVonta Freeman based on game flow in that game. Once more, I'll tell you has the highest over under of Week seven at fifty three points. Hey, you know, we talked about that game and we talked

about how that related to Julio Jones as well. Um. You know, obviously you saw last week Julio Jones and that crazy end of the game, big non pass interference call with the Seattle Seahawks, and that is a game that can really potentially change the NFC playoff picture, and it got a lot of people talking this week about pass interference and if that play should be reviewable by

instant replay. I know you're a big Saints fans. Saints head coach Sean Payton came out and said that he would like to see maybe didn't look at that again, and you know they do have the owners meetings coming up. You know, I don't think it's gonna happen, you know, flor anytime soon. But you know my take, honestly, I do not think they should review it. And here's why they They could probably find something on every play. You know they always say you could find holding on every

play as well. But what do they have to do, Like then, where is the line if you touch something, you see it, if you yank it? I don't know what I do think they should do, Rocks, because I actually think they should change it though, from being a spot foul beyond fifteen yards, so just a maximum of a fifteen yard penalty, because this is too much. It's flipping too many things. Teams now sometimes just chuck it and get that as a big, big chunk plan. I

think it's too big of a deal. What's I think that part of that is by design, as the league

has changed the products. The product from being you know, three yards and a cloud of dust into a really exciting vertical passing game, and you know, part of that has to do with cornerbacks and safeties are able to get away with I think maybe you know, I don't know, man, I don't necessarily like the idea of capping it at fifteen yards because there are what would be game changing places and you just sell out and trip a guy or he's got a step on you, uh, you know,

to avoid a touchdown at fifteen yards. To that, I don't really agree with it. I completely do agree with you, though, that the league is not going to make any changes on this anytime soon. But it's one thing the NFL hates. It's the appearance of being bullied into doing something by those pesky owners or players. You've seen how slow they've been to react to basically every major crisis that's come their way in the past ten years, and I don't

think if this rises to that level. Completely agree with you though, that something needs to be done about it. You would need very specific rules, and I think maybe that would just be a situation where you can maybe only challenge that specific calls once again instead of being able to challenge it and need it. We'll see what happens. But one thing I know is that Roxon Speed will be here every week holding it down, making short you have which we need when your leg and win that cast.

That's how we do it all the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We will be back extra when we break down wet uh. You know you can hold this accountable to all the stuff we said in those games where Week seven our game flow geniuses, hard Diamonds and the rough. We'll see what big injuries we have to discuss next week at what games we gotta get into. Yeah, man, And I'll just say this, if you're a Cowboys fan and you're still looking for Halloween idea, you should go as count Dacular.

There it is Rock Speed, Fantasy Freestyle and Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We'll see your next movie. Curse
