NFL Week 10 Diamonds and Fugazis, Tight Ends, Refs and more

You win championships with that Fantasy Free style. One, two, three, four, five, six, seventy eight. You know what it is, Rocks and speeds in the place to be. This is the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Schorts Radio Network giving you everything you need to hold you down. And sometimes people need to be held down, right Rob Yeah, man, I mean sometimes it needs to be held down, and sometimes they need to be brought up uplifted. And I really hope that

that's what we do on this episode. You know, we got a lot for you. We got some red things, We've got some blue things. Put them together make purple. We always got some of that purple stuff with us. Uh, you know, just just happy to be here, surviving and thriving in America. You know, speeds. Um, we're going into week ten, right, we are, we are, we are, and we've been looking at the stats. We've been looking at the percentages, the tents of a point. To win your

games when your leagues and win that cash. That's what we're here to focus on. You know, there's been a lot of things going on. You know. One of the things that you said, who were going to get into two traditional powerhouses, uh, you know that are maybe having they're having a moment to traditional American teams on the West coast. On the West coast, you've got those Oakland Raiders,

you know, going coming back to respectability. Respectability. You know, well, let's see him do it in Oakland consistently, even though they did last week. But yeah, no, definitely that's a team really that you've got to watch. And there a traditional franchise, right, there's someone that we grew up in

the eighties. The Oakland Raiders were largely respectable team. Yeah, and they had their glory years in the seventies and the John Madden when I'm most impressed about with your readers that creators is the way they beat the Broncos in their game last week when they announced themselves on Sunday Night Football. Um, they use six offensive linemen and ran on the Denver Broncos, which was different from what you thought after a car was coming off like a

five hundred yard game. So they can beat people both ways. And you haven't see that the running game speeds we've talked about, I know you were actually really low on through everything they could at the wall to see what's stuck, and it seems like maybe he's gonna be after coming back from injury. What sticks for them it is I I will say this and sas Murray has a good coming back from injury, but they still use Washington and they used the Chard. I would say credit needs when

we go to that offensive line. I saw that David Parr has only been sacked three times all season. He's only had eight q B hits on him all season. The Raiders invested in that offensive line in the off season. I think that's what's paying off at a big level to help the developing quarterback Ton far and you know, just to just to expand upon that with Carr, I remember I watched him closely. His rookie year had him in our home league, and he did not make backbreaking mistakes.

There really wasn't a lot that you couldn't necessarily hang your hat on that. He did well low yards per temp, didn't really test downfield, but he did not make those stupid rookie mistakes. And you've seen him basically hold onto that. And as Speed said, they built up a line around him. They gave him some weapons on the outside in terms of a Marie Cooper Detroian things and now again adding a running game in that. Uh, you know, the defense is still suspect, but they couldn't they could make a

real solid push. Let me tell you something, defense, you call him suspect. Khalil Mack is not suspect. He's one of the best edge rushers and outside linebackers in the game. I am confused as to why they did not give the attack is more help against him in Denver because he ridiculously killed him last year, did the same thing, getting a lot of pressure on Trevor simeon Yo. So while I think the Raiders are going to be able to make the playoffs, I think they even have a

shot at when defending Division. The thing I'll say out of this is that I think the Broncos might be in trouble here because you gotta remember the Chiefs are a very solid team out Bacus as well. So yeah, the Raiders may be on the rise, but Denver, despite their defense, there's been more and more questions around Simeon. Also, we have to know that Davante Booker has not loved that, so I think that opens it up for the Raiders

to have a nice little path. On the NFC side, you know, we also have a team led by young talent and an offensive line that is the best record in the NFC. And we're talking about the Dallas Cowboy Yeah, I mean Speeds. What I will say is that I think that Dak Prescott, and I'm not going out on a limb here to say that Dak Prescott is a clear cut above Trevor Simeon. Trevor Simeon, I still feel not long for starting in Denver. It may not be this year, but it will almost definitely be next year.

You'll see Paxton Lynch takeover. However, I think the Cowboys have found what they need in Dak Prescott, and I think that they finally realize it as well. You're seeing with Romo, they're saying he is now healthy, he's now ready to go. However, the Cowboys have been rolling. They've got Ezekiel Elliott, another rookie who's completely dominating the league.

Ezekiel Elliott is literally taking the ball and running with it for that Cowboys offense, behind that dominant offensive line, leads the league in Russian with eight hundred and ninety one yard. That's a lot of yards. One of the top backs in fantasy obviously, you know, maybe only David Johnson and others like that ahead of him. But also here's the thing that I keep a eye on on

the Cowboys. UM, Dez still has yet to really produce outside the one game when he came back, only one for nineteen and his last ever very quiet last week. I was wrong about that. I thought I was. I thought he was gonna shine. But here's my question though, as if Dallas keeps on winning, UM and Dak keeps on winning but Dez does not produce, do you think Dez stays happy? Do you think des is just like with it and rolling, or does he start talking about

that he meets the damn ball. I think that you'll see Dez Bryant be a good teammate and Des Bryant basically doing the right thing unless you catch the Cowboys in not one game, but in a two game losing streak where he's not getting the ball, and then I could see Des causing some problems for them, potentially in the media by saying, you know, Tony never, Tony never forgot about me, even though Tony Tony Romo also would

oftentimes frustratingly not push the ball to deaz Um. But you know, I think that as long as the Cowboys are winning, you know, Dez isn't does isn't that much of a diva wide receiver. When they're winning, he'll say the right thing. If they start losing, and not just one game, I think two games in a row, you're gonna see a situation. All right, all right? You know the other thing we gotta get into. Since we last and gave you that, he gave you the fantasy freestyle

dropping stats overbeat Fantasy freestyle. Um, we also have yet to give you our take on the interesting refereeing that took place in Seattle last week on Monday Night Football, where you had you know, Sherman obviously go off sides and then make contact going for the ball. He actually touching the ball, and then interestingly enough, the trainer coming on,

so Carpenter has to sit out and play um. And what I said ronson Shock Howler is also on the Fantasy Sports Radio network, was like props for Rex because at first, I actually, you know, we watched football together a lot. I saw the play and was like, Oh, the trainer came out, he's gonna have to miss a play. I knew that. But then Rex to Spike it has to play. I give it to him on that, and we kill Rex all the time for quite frankly, not being like a good coach. That was a good move.

I like that. Well, what I'll say is the refs also that judgment call on like the roughness or whatever. But then the mechanical hour of the time clock and the delay of game like they got holds. You know, I'll say two things about that. Three points the game strategy at the end. It's unfortunate that that happened. But in terms of a prime time game, the NFL really needed a good prime time game, and that that was not one that was necessarily shaping up to be a

great game Seattle at home. But it was always a great game, was a fun game. But obviously the refs screwing. And I'll say at the ref screwed Buffalo at a three points there at the end. And you know, honestly, I think the refs should be castrated for for things like that. Yo, you talk about castration. That is a popular opinion over here. Apparently Buffalo kicking Carpenter his wife, uh actually had a lot of things to say about Twitter.

Even referenced the I guess like the farm castration tool that they use what she described as like when when men don't act the right way, And it was very interesting. Sherman had some beef and especially with you're telling me Richard Sherman had an opinion. Yeah, he had an opinion, especially you know, with the context of other things that have happened this week. You know, I think it's a very interesting time. I would say, Ross, I have two

questions for you. One, is there ever a good situation where the spouse or the children or the parents of a coach or a player or GM should be on Twitter Number one? And two, should these refs get paid and be full time employees? Of the NFL, so that maybe communication is better and these kinds of things don't happen. You can take him in any order you want. I'll feel the second one first. I'll say, you know, I often tell people that the NFL, taken alone, would be

the sixth biggest economy in the world. They could occupy countries too as a military force. Yeah, I mean, the stat is actually not true at all, But the NFL generates a ton of revenue. The idea that what he control is it for the rig syste the five or six dozen people can't be paid full time salaries in the way of the referees can't be held to a little bit of higher standards. I think that's I think

that that's completely ridiculous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they should also at least maybe just the referees the heads of all the cruise, right, because then you know, you could do a lot of things, have a consistent review, have consistent communication, used that throughout the year in clinics and um, you know, practices. I think there would be plenty of reasons to make that. You could even have hound the community, like refereeing street fights, pick basketball games,

all types of stuff. Sorts of stuff to do that they could do in the off season. Right, Yeah, what I'm saying, you know, and not to me, it doesn't make any sense at all. I'm sure that they're at one point back in the day may have been a good reason for that. The NFL is too big, too profitable, and quite frankly, if they want the viewer to be confident that they're watching a game that the outcome has been judged by what happened on the field and not

the whims of some some guys in prison outfits. Uh, you know, I think that they wanted to step it up, clean it up, and get that addressed to your second first question, question the preferred method of communication. If you happen to be a spouse, you know, if you're if your wife is in the w n b A and you're sitting there watching the game and you think that

she gets fouled, um, peep it to yourself. If you're if you're you know, if your husband gets roughed by Richard Sherman, um, and you're on Twitter like posting something that could potentially be viewed as racially insensitive or even just ridiculous. Uh No, what's the upside to that, you know, and everyone has those feelings and if you know you need to have an outlet for them, you'll go to the bar watch with your friend, you know. And also,

isn't this like a you know, you're impacting. This is a business right, and so by doing that and making a quote unquote distraction, you're making your your family member asset less likely to be get signed, you know, later on in a future contract. You know, you don't want to create controversial who's my man? It's not going to

mind the cornerback on Miami. His wife was extremely outspoken talking about how terrible Ryan Tanney Hill was Grimes, Yes, yes it was Brentan Brent Grimes wife was checking out on Twitter, ridiculously outspoken on Twitter. Even I believe, bringing up like the religious beliefs of the ownership and he's no longer there in my exactly. And you know, I would imagine also that if I was the ownership group that he was in discussions with it to be signed to a you know, eight figure deal, I would take

that sort of thing seriously as a serious downside. And this is just nothing you would want. My rule thumb with social media is don't post anything you wouldn't be okay with your grandmother seeing and I'm I'm all good because my grandmother's were both really really cool, all right, right, so yeah, let's keep it moving. Video one other thing we want to do, because this is what we always do on Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,

and check it out. If you like what you hear, you um follow us on Twitter, subscribe on iTunes. You could easily do that and get get us all the time and check us out on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network airing on Saturday. Speeds. It's funny you mentioned Twitter. I posted a poll for our gentleman's bet last week. It's with the Fantasy free that's a Fantasy Freestyle leave off the last few we won't make any errors, and

we had a gentleman's bet last week. It was would Kenneth Dixon put up more or less than ten points per game in PPR. Speeds took the over, and interestingly enough, our robust Twitter audience responded and Max, thanks to everybody for voting, y'all. Seriously, your vote does count. Fifty six percent of people agreed with Speeds. Then he would get the over, but not so much. No, it was not to be k Dix, as I call him when I'm betting against him, tallied a lowly thirteen yards from scrimmage.

Most of all that was on the ground. He did add two catches for no yards and what is increasingly a very very messy and unproductive Baltimore back fields. Yeah, it is interesting, especially with that change in offensive coordinators. You know, we'll see what happens as they move along. Um, Box, I will say you, I think you do have the season lead in our Gentleman's bet. Um, I think you

won one or two early. I got hot there for a little while and then stop, and then you got and then you got this one right here, So check it out. We'll be making our Gentleman's bet for week ten a little bit later on at the show. Um, when we come back. But we're gonna do is We're gonna go game by game and all our spotlight games. Right, We're gonna tell them who, you know, what they need, who to start, who said, who to try and trade for?

Whose a good value? And that's gonna be on that rust belt, that sun belt, those communities that the districts, those parishes. Yeah, yeah, we're looking for talent everywhere. Um so, yeah, man, we'll be right back Fantasy Sports Radio Network. This is the Fantasy Freestyle, Game by game week ten high After this,

get yourself a beverage you deserve. 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 the leven when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team. We cannot play with him, cannot win with him, cannot coach with him. You can't do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win. Yeah, yeah, you know what it is. We're back here on the Fantasy

Sports Radio Network. We're dropping stats over beats, rocks, and speeds. It's the Fantasy Freestyle. That's what we do. We give you everything you need so you can win your leagues and win that cash. Well we're gonna do right now is we're gonna talk about a few games that we need to get into here for weeks, and you're gonna hear about a lot of other games as we go through our flagship segments later on. Our game flow geniuses are diamonds and our Fantasy Gays. These fun out about them.

But we're gonna talk about a couple of games here. One game I want to get into Rocks. The Houston Texans go to Jacksonville and an a f C South matchup, and you wouldn't think this would be one of our spotlight games, but I want to bring this up because I think, um the Texans they have some heat. I think they have an ascending UH Indianapolis team. I think they have an ascending, to be honest, Tennessee Titans team to worry about. The Texans need to win this divisional

matchup on the road against Jacksonville. I think it's gonna be interesting. I know you have a little bit of thoughts that we're gonna hear about Lamar Miller later on. What I want to talk about in this game is that, um, I fade DeAndre Hopkins here if you possibly can. And the reason is he in his chemistry with brock Oswidler still has not yet developed. But you know, I know they're going against a team that looks like they gave up, but I still I need to see it before I

believe it. With the re emergence of Yes Speeds and you know, I feel like I've kind of gone back and forth on this Texans team and how good they really are this season. I remember, um, I remember, you know the Texans are sitting now at five and three. I remember, I think it was Week three. They played the Patriots in Jacoby Brissett's never Start and you you said to me, and I don't mean to call you on as, but you said, you know, the Texans are

gonna win this game because they're a good team. And Jacobe Barns, I was thirst string and he came out of nowhere shock the world and that one. So I kind of wrote the Texans off there, but they're they're clong their way back to respectability now coming off that by week I mean, I think that really Jacksonville has been so terrible in the first half that we're really seeing a repeat of what happened last year in terms of the garbage time Blake Bortles, bortal service, you know,

uh Canadian Blake Um. You know, he's just basically been garbage, but still putting those points up in the second half. One thing I would watch POLSI Alan Hearns been having a dealing with the concussion. If he doesn't play in the game, that's looking likely to feature a lot more garbage time. Markis Lee may become interesting as a flag. Keep your eye out on that. I like Markisley. He can continue. He continues to get between six and nine

targets a game. I would also say it was nice to see the true return of Chris Ivory in that last game. Eighteen carries a hundred and seven yards and was running hard like usual. Little thing. You might not know Blake Bortles. You were talking about bottle service before he had fifty four rushing yards in his last game. He There's been four games this season where Blake Bortles was the Jaguars leading rusher. Still, not only do you get garbage time production, but you get that running production

from them as well. Another game, we're gonna go to the Green Bay Packers, you know, talking about should they relax or should they be panicked? They go to Tennessee where, like I said, the Tennessee Titans are also contenders in the a f C South and they are home underdogs giving up get him two and a half points to the Green a Packers. What do you think about this one?

Is adon Rodgers doing too much Rocks No, I mean I think that you know, they were dealt to bed hand in terms of what happened with their running back situation. I think they made the best of it with time Montgomery, um, and I think that you're seeing maybe James Starts coming back this week, making it a little bit more interesting, maybe giving them a little bit of that more traditional running back at the backfield. However, Um, you know, I

say make the best of it. You know, honestly, Aaron Rodgers looked to Montgomery out of the backfield, and I think he also, you know, has continued to become a little bit more comfortable with his wide receivers, primarily Davante Adams, who's really just been a beast in terms of PPR, but also Jordy Nelson getting loose a little bit downfield, getting some of those longer games, those splash plays and we were not seeing earlier in the season, and that

everyone thought were so integral to the Packers offense functioning the way that we've known and loved them to function for years on end. So honestly, I think in this one that you're gonna see, you're gonna see Rogers do really well. I think also you will see, um, the running game, continue to struggle. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Check it out. Man, you should also be listening to this speci of spitting statistician hunt shot calls on the Fantasy

Sports Radio networking for the last couple of weeks. I've been telling you it would be an interesting look. Maybe you want to stash a chain Starks for this purpose where he's gonna now get the load. I think would be an actual running game, and I think the Packers might round into form. I was wanting to point out that Aaron Rodgers got forty six rushing yards last week, and I think that's indicative of him thinking about trying

to do too much. On the Tennessee side of things. Um, you know, it doesn't look like Derrick Henry is gonna play, and that means a ton of exotic smash mouth and DeMarco Murray. They're going up the Packers run defense, which is number one in the NFL. But we did see Ze Gelliott kind of shread that a few weeks ago. How do you think that's gonna go exotic smash mouth against the number one run defense? Oh, you know, impenetrable forest, first movable object or whoever the hell the old saying goes.

You know, what I will say is that Marco Murray has proved a lot of people, including myself wrong. He is not done, But I do not think the recipe for success for the Titans team is running him into the ground. And it seemed like they knew that when they started talking about Henry getting more work. So, I mean, you look at Murray. He's got a hundred seventy four carries through nine games. You know, Tennessee is still a

game below five hundred. But you mentioned them as being serious competitors in that a you know, the Texans and the culture right there exactly. I think I think that they're going to be careful about running him into the ground. I think you may see a little bit more creativity. You may see Mariota doing a little bit of running in that game. I think you're gonna see a lot of Delaney Walker as well. I still think I've been

on this all year, he has been fully healthy. By still think he is the Titans best wide receiver, pass catcher, tight end um. You know, I also think that it's gonna be more interesting to see are the Titans gonna be able to get that pressure on Aaron Rodgers. I believe he had six see running yards the week before. And you know, he's elusive enough in the pocket that it's not necessarily a bad thing that he gets pressure for your fantasy time because he's willing to take goes,

just take off downfield. And I think this will actually probably be a little bit of a closer game than a lot of people think. All right, all right, you know the next game we want to highlight here we tend on the fantasy freestyle dropping stats over beats. I think this is gonna be a good one. Rocks. The Atlanta Falcons go to Philadelphia. Um that Eagles defense has been pretty good, giving up only eighteen point one points a game, but can they handled the number one offense

in the NFL. Maddie Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons scoring thirty three point nine points a game. That leaves the NFL. Mattie Ryan also leaves the NFL with twenty six hundred and three six passing yards. And you know, this is probably my worst haul of the Season's thesis fitting statistician was very adamant that you should have sold matt Ryan a few weeks ago. I was wrong. Mattie Ryan looking like an NFL MVP candidate this game. But I will

say look out for my man Mohammed. So he had a nice game last game, going nine catches, eighty four yards and a touchdown. And I think he's got a growing role as he gets more and more familiar. You can do a lot of things with Mohammed. Remember their uping games so far this season where Judio Jones has a little banged up, continues to play through it, but then becomes something of a decoy. I wouldn't be surprised if some things like that happened in the City of

Brotherly Love with Philadelphia. So I like Mohammed's to new someone to watch in this game. What you're looking at in this game rocks, you know, honestly, I think, uh, we maybe we're a little too early on Philly being real, and I think maybe a lot of that had to do with Carson Wentz. And I think that you're really going to see a test also for a Philadelphia defense that is supposed to be one of the true elite defenses in the NFL. YO, you get back to Matt Ryan.

Matt Ryan actually as three thousand one of your thirty three completions in his career. That's the most in any NFL players first nine seasons. We simply don't think of Matt Ryan that way. He started fast in his career. You know, great connection with Roddy White. There was a time where they overlap and there was a bit of a downtime. Matt Ryan is completely back. If not the m v P, I think we could probably at least give Matt Ryan the Comeback Player of the Year award.

I mean, I'm not really sold on Mohammed Sanu. I never have, and I think he's more as a gadget guy. I think Tyler Gabriel is a guy who got a little bit of burn last week. You saw it with a rushing touchdown, but he's been more involved. I wouldn't be shocked to start seeing him making a few more plays downfield as Matt Ryan becomes more and more comfortable in that offense, right right. You know you mentioned that on the Philadelphia Eagles, they may be doing a little

bit fake. I've been saying for a couple of weeks that as they gathered tape on that rookie quarterback, we'll see if he would may be able to make the adjustments right back. Later on on the Fantasy Freestyle, You're gonna hear somebody else on the Philadelphia Eagles offense who I might have as one of my diamonds in the rough.

Later on, we'll talk about that. Um. Like I said later on in the show, the Last Game, we want to get into his Monday Night Football rocks with the Cincinnati Bengals go to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Football Giants. I have a feeling this is gonna be a good one for some reason. I think the points could be scored in this one, and I think the production can happen. One person that I'm telling you will produce, because he always produces, is a D J. Green.

You remember here in Fantasy Freestyle we tip our cap to him, uh new baby daddy father. Remember yeah, if you want to crowd him, the crown yours. What are you seeing in this Monday night football game, Rocks? You know, I think that, as you just said, A J. Green, the New Father is gonna eat. I think you're gonna see Odell Beckham certainly eating as well for the New York Giants. One of the interesting things, and it's been interesting old season is the breakdown between a resurgent Victor

Cruz and my boy Cheferd Sterling Shepherd. You know he's he's been the Giants wide receiver to wide receiver three getting some snaps in this slot, getting some snaps, and Sterling Shepherd getting snaps in the slot. Shepherd getting snaps in the slot, Sterling Shepherd getting snaps in the slot, Shirley Shepherd getting snaps in the slot. It's Sterling Shepherd getting snaps in the slot and my boy Paul from a story it was asking me about possibly acquiring Sterling Shepherd,

who we now know gets snaps from the statistician. And I'm just good old rocks one. I won't winners. And I said, you know, pull the brakes on that. He's been seeing a ton of targets about eight per week, but he's not really turning them into too many yards.

Do you get a touchdown last week? Uh? You know, I like him long term, but I don't see Sterling Shepherd is being a difference maker this week against the Cincinnati and also try and avoid Victor Cruz at my could to show you on the Giant, the one person I do want to find out remember where was a constant theme. I've been talking about this at the time of the year, where those rookie running backs started, like

Paul Berkins pp in this one. Okay, with Sean Jennings only one in eleven twenty six in his last game, and Paul Berkins also got eleven carrier. I think he's having a rowing roll. The only last player I'll point out on the Cincinnati side of things. Look for a continued growth in the offense out of Tyler eifert Um coming up a nine catch, one d two yard game, got in the end zone. He got hands on a ton of times last year. Four team touchdown last year.

He's getting more and more healthy, and they need him because they've had trouble in the red zone. He's gonna be make them much more dynamic and honestly, also going to free up a j green for a little bit more single coverage on those jumps as no doubt, no doubt, when we come back, we will dive into a few specific players in our flagship segments. We do game flow geniuses that diamonds in the rough and the full gazes.

So forget about it, yo, this is fantasy freestyle Rocks and Speeds here on a week to Fantasy Sports Radio Network, will be right back. Yeah, yeah, Hello. You play to win the game. You don't play the chips, play it. You know. We are in the home stretch with you here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's your boy, Rocks, one young fist full of rings

with my man Speeds, the spitting statistician. We're here to break down, breakdown, we call our flagships, all right, that's those diamonds in the rocks. Yea. We also, unfortunately have to give you some fool days. And of course we got our game flow geniuses, letting you know who's poised to have a bigger week than usual because the way that game script is gonna work for them. Yeah, let's start off with these games flow geniuses. All right, I'm

gonna give him one in them in the head. Yo. I dug real deeper than this cat was only seven percent owned. I'm talking about Treek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver. I liked this for a number of reasons. I want to see what you think about it, Rocks. First of all, um, Jeremy Macklin, no good, No good is growing. There's right, Listen, Tyreek Hill is a guy that they try to get involved in the offense regardless. This is a guy who ran the ball twice uh

last week. They do a little end the rounds for him stuff like that. He also, if you remember two weeks ago, made a huge diving one handed grab for a touchdown. And I also like that the Kansas City Chiefs will be welcoming back starter Alex Smith this week. UM to be able to go against a Carolina defense that we talked about that young secondary. They may have figured some things out after the by the defense is looking much better, but but I think they're still young

in the secondary and can still be beating. I think they will be big plays from Tyree Hill for Kansas City Chiefs game that's going to travel east and do work. Uh Tyreek Hill game flow genius. I like it. And you know he'll uh hell Hell's already got four touchdown grabs on the season. Um. And I think also, like with macklen out, you know you're gonna hear and make it into it a little bit. I honestly think that

Kelsey will be the main beneficiary. However, Tyreek Hill has looked pretty damn good when he's had the ball in his hands and they've tried, as you said, to scheme him the ball whenever there is whenever there's a number one that's out. It's definitely good to look to a guy who's proven he can do a lot with his touch as who might get a lot more. I really like that. In terms of the game genius, I did not dig very deep at all for for my first

game ll genius and that's Lamar Miller. He's on fan duel that's still still upper echelon, but maybe a little bit lower than he was early in this season. Coming off their bye week, the running back coach says he's

going to be back to a workforce role. You gotta like that because, particularly in this game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, you're not gonna see Lamar Miller losing garbage time production to Alfred Blue, which unfortunately has been like groundhog days of Lamar Miller owners this year, watching Brock Hosswider get the team in you know, two and three score holes as Lamar Miller is off the field. You know, he

has basically been averaging twenty two touches a game. Despite that bad game script Jacksonville has been outscored by their opponents hundred to fifty four in the first half this season. That's obviously the largest differential in the NFL, and I think that that bode is really really well for the Houston Texans offense that wants to get him touches coming out of the Buy the game script should help him in this one. I think he's gonna go for at least a hundred yards and a touchdown with a couple

of catches thrown in for good measure. I'd also say for those of you in leagues where the trading deadline is rapidly approaching, Miller has been, by no means a bus but he has not lived up to those lofty expectations that were placed on his shoulders when a lot of fantasy owners made him a first round pick. The schedule is substantially softer in the second half of the season than it was in the first. He's still on

pace for about fourteen hundred yards from scrimmage. If you can buy low, I would buy low before this game with Jacksonville, Lamar Miller game flow genius. Rest of season genius, putting down the Gaunt's saying he's gonna snap back after the bye that they had. They're gonna be looking good, hopefully. I I hope the same as a DeAndre Hopkins owner that the said pass picking it up. My next game flow genius is gonna be Michael Thomas, New Orleans wide receiver.

You can get him at sixty four hundred on the fan duel and listen. I know that Denver who's coming in, has the number one past defense in the NFL, giving up only one hundred and eighty three yards a game. I'm aware of that. Okay, however, and my boy Rocks has been all over it, not only for days, but least put years. Drew Brees in the dome, I will set my clock to it, and I hope you set your clock to it going back for daylight savings time last week. Yo, I don't care who it is that's

coming in. Drew Brees will put up his three hundred yards, he will put up two to three to four touchdowns. And so the thing is, I still think that Michael Thomas is the ascending talent among this core. I also think he is the red zone target among this core. I think you're gonna see you know your guys like

Harris on Brandon Cooks. I think they're gonna try to focus on Cooks and then I think that sneeze will guys whatever, But Thomas is gonna be the one who eats Thomas five for seventy three and his last game with two touchdowns. I reinforced here the red zone looks are good. You thought it was gonna be Kobe Fleaner who would get these red zone looks, but instead it has been Michael Thomas. He's my game flow genius. The Saints will throw in the dome. That is the game

flow that I am pretty he's certain of. I like that call, Spears, and you know, I really thought that Michael Thomas was being overdrafted a bit based on Willie's snead, And honestly, you've just watched Thomas's role grow growth. Snead has not looked completely the same instance coming back from that toe injury, and you're completely right. The Saints are going to be throwing in that fast track of the dome, and I also don't think that they're going to be

able to stop Denver. I love that call. My second game flow genius is Jonathan Stewart. He's at home versus the Chiefs as a three point favorite. I personally expect that game against a good Chiefs team to be an extremely close game. I don't think you're gonna see either team with much of a two score lead in the second half. I think that you're gonna basically see Carolina with a slight lead in that second half when you

get late in that second half. And Stewart has had over sixty of his team's carries since he's come back from his injury. The Chiefs are not allowing touchdowns to the running back position, but they are allowing the third highest yards per carry to the position, and of all Russian attempts them have gone from more than five yards. That's the highest in the league. Stewart is a solid RB two this week. He's six hundred on fan duel. I think he's gonna push twenty touches. He's the sixteenth

most expensive. He's in that kind of muddled middle, but I expect him to finish well above that in the tween to teen range, because I think gameflow is going to be on his side in this one. Al Right, right, yo, Let's give him the other things they need to win their leaves and win that cash. As we move along week ten, here the NFL season fantasy freestyle, Rocks and Speeds dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy freestyle we're gonna give you. Now are diamonds in the rough. And

you know these are valuable. Son. When Rocks and Speeds give you these diamonds, what you need to do is insert them in your DFS lineup. These will be values for you. So that's how hoping you win your leagues and win that cash. Okay, my first diamond. We go to the tight end position and I'm giving out zach Ertz this week. Okay, zach Ertz is only for sure

on fans bottoms. It's crazy. It's crazy. Only one hundred like above the minimum for a guy who had eight catches for nineties seven yards last week, finally being noticed as the security blanket four rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. This week, the head coach also said twice that they need to get him the ball more and that they need to look for him in the red zone more. I think that matters. You also are going against that Atlanta Falcons defense that is thirty feet in the NFL against the

tight end. I think it all lines up and you get him right above the minimum, unless you're gonna go for guys like Gronk or Olson or the ascending Jimmy Graham again. You know, like we're talking about. If there's there's so many guys that are in like the six thousand, five thousand range, we're talking zach Ertz here going up in production for undred. That's a diamond in the rough. I'm digging for you. I'm finding you something that is valuable. Please remember to use it and cherish it in wheat

and zach Ertz shine bright like a diamond. I do love that Earth's call Um. I'm gonna go with a different tight end though, I will say Speeds he kind of sold me on trying to see where I could save. I could save some money on tight end and maybe go in other places. But I will say is don't throw in the towel on Travis Kelsey. He got tossed last week in the middle of a productive game, five for fifty eight, and I like him to do damage against the Panthers team that also cannot cover the tight

end position. Basically, Kelsey has been a beast throughout his career with the ball in his hands. The problem is the Chiefs and Alex Smith have been reluctant to fords feed him. We talked about earlier. Jeremy Macklin is out this week. They're playing at Carolina defense has allowed the fourth most yards and third most receiving scores to tight end. I think he's gonna lead his team in targets. You know where to word to Tyreek Hill Hill get some

splash plays. But he's looked explosive with the ball in his hands. And like I said, I think they're gonna be scheming it to him a bit more than normal. And hey, this is not for the faint of heart. Kelsey has let you down in a couple of spots earlier in the season against the Raiders and against the Saints, both of whom have bad past defenses. However, Carolina bleeding points to the tight end position. I'm trusting him in this one. I think he's an extremely strong DFS play.

But I'm trying to try how about it, But you know we're suggesting these tight ends. You know, I'm sensing maybe we can have a little gentleman's bet of Kelsey versus this week. But because Kelsey cost. I think I need to get some points here, right, How can we how can we make the has happened gentleman's best? All right, let me do some quick math seventeen so I'll give you. I'll give you hurts plus. I'll give him the seven weak crazy give earths plus twenty five of his output first,

Kelsey plent. That sounds like a gentleman's bed for weeks ten, Ladies and gentlemen. I don't know how I'm gonna calculate this. I think this bet is rigged the left time. But it's the week ten and gentleman's bet Rocks and speeds Fantasy Freestyle. You know you sold arts though I was like, I was like, yo, Ben, let me see if I can sell you on my next diamond in the rough

for week ten, and that is C. J. Procise. I don't know if you have been seeing the trend in Seattle, but Christine Michael has not been doing it for Seahawks. We'll get to our fugaz he's a little bit later. But yes see, Mike has been a problem. Five carries only one yard. He's saved you by getting into the end zone. I think he's trending bad. They're also one or two weeks away from Thomas Rawls return, and you know, Speeds has been in statistician has been talking about this

for a while. They have been consistently talking Rawles up, and they even have said that c J pro Sise will get a lot of work this week because they don't want to go to C Mike and because Thomas Rawls is not ready. C J Prosise in the game also against the New England Patriots, which will probably be a little bit high scoring, so I expect the third down passing catch back to be on the field a lot. I think c J pro sizes, trust me, a great value, Rocks.

C J pro Sise forty seven hundred another bottom value. I'm telling you right now, you could put in c J Prosise and zach Ertz and you know Michael Thomas and Tree killed these people I'm giving you, and you can get whoever else speed. What do you what are you spending this extra money on the gold Fire? I'll tell you what, Tom tell I'll tell you what. Honestly, I'll tell you again, Rocks, I'm glad you asked that, Okay, because I'm spending up at running back this week. I'm

spending up at running back for two people. David Johnson this week, because he's playing that Sanford historically bad San Francisco forty Niners run defense that is giving up a hundred and nineties somemine yards a game, Southern getting act by not one but to New Orleans States, And you know, they give David Johnson the ball all the time. You know, Rots as someone who had shares of Carson Palmer in recent weeks, Bruce arians has gotten away from just letting

Palmer do whatever one you should. And they give the ball to David Johnson and they're coming and they're coming up a bye and now against historically and run defense. Okay, so I don't care that he's highest on the board at ninety four hundred. I am paying up for David Johnson this week. I am also paying up for Melvin Gordon this week. Melvin Gordon apparently is now a touchdown

scoring machine. And last week he got thirty touches over thirty touches over two hundred and sixty combined yards, and he's playing at home against the Dolphins defense that has to travel across the country and is thirtieth in the NFL against the run, I think, and and Melvin Gordon is doing everything from the San Diego charges and Rocks, I have one more note on Melvin Gordon. I don't know if you know this, and this is what we do here, guys, not on the Fantasy Sports radio network,

but on the Fantasy freestop. Rocks does not know what I'm about to say because we've freestyle. And Melvin Gordon's father is coming home from prison next month, okay at his mother. True, we don't know and his mother and I was cited that, Um, this is why Melvin Gordon is playing inspired football because he just found out his dad is coming home and that he's going to be inspired for the rest of the season. So I'm so glad you asked. I'm paying up for David Johnson and

Melvin Gordon. But my diamond if you need a value in weeks and c J grow site diamond. Yeah, man, My my second diamond this week is is Manny Sanders. He's only six on the fan du well, and he's getting a Saints defense that is basically the nicest thing you could say about them is at times they've bent badly and then broken, you know, uh, and I really think that the time is right. He's been outside of

the top twenty for four weeks in a row. Now that's why you're seeing him as that discounted price, because Trevor Simmons plays fallen off a clip that said, despite all of that, he's been seeing consistent targets, and he has seen ten plus in the last two weeks. The Saints are completely burnable. The Saints also, as Speeds talked about, are gonna be putting some numbers on the board even

against even toub defense. I think this is the one situation I think offense defense the reason the Dome I've never seen it really get shut down, you know. And I would say also that even though Delvin rows back for that secondary, they've still got a ton of problems that can't really get at the quarterback. I like him, particularly pick Us and you know, again we're talking some bottom barrel guys here. He's six hundred dollars cheaper than

to Marius Thomas. They've basically been equivalent players this season. You've seen maybe more looks between the twenties to Emmanuel Sanders and maybe a little bit more willingness to go to DT in the red zone. But I think both of them can eat. I'm gonna go with the value play here comparatively, and I think that Manny Sanders is

clearly that dude. He's a very reasonable r B. Excuse me, he's a very reasonable wide receiver to who can return easy wide receiver one numbers and what might be more of a shootout in the dome than a lot of people are expecting. Oh yeah, it's never a bad thing in my opinion, to take a wide receiver against the New Orleans Saints. Yo. But now we've been giving out the game flow geniuses, we've been giving out these diamonds

in the rough. We gotta let them know who to avoid rocks in week ten because we don't want these guys to you know, you don't want to be spending up too much on certain guys that are gonna underp one of these people we think are gonna underperform. If you don't know how we do about it, Lefty from Mulberry Street to tell you, but we look at the fantasy fool gazes as how do you know what's to food gazing? We looked at it for seconds, y, I know the FLA forget about it day, Rocks, it was

your first week and full gaze Yo. Shout out to my people's from Tulane. Shout out to the Green Wave proud alumni, Rock Swan young fist full of rings. Ben had them rings since I was down in the dirty. Um I got the all two Lane running Back edition from my food. Yeah you call him pride and then calling him full gazing. Well. Shout to tu Lane for even having two running backs currently starting in the NFL right now, and the first one is the current starter.

And you might think that you snagged Rob Kelly off Waivers a while back. Now you've got Jay Gruden calling him the lead back. The timing is perfect. There's so many teams on by. He is a clear cut plug and play for you. Couldn't be so simple. Whoa pumped those brakes? Son? Get that loop out as a jeweler and look a little bit closer. Listen, he ran hard last week. Props to him. Eighty seven and a tud. Minnesota is still very, very very tough against the run.

Even though you've seen some cracks in that edifice of the defense the last couple of weeks, they've actually only allowed more than seventy yards once this season. And your boy, your boy, Rob Kelly, He's only handled more than five carries once in his career. That was last week. He only has one catch on the season. There's no upside whatsoever for him in the receiving game. And guess what, Matt Jones is expected to be back playing behind him,

and you've got Chris Thompson lurking and still involved. I think Rob Kelly, even at the bottom barrel price of on fan duel, is nothing more than a food gaze. I much prefer Chris Thompson and PPR leagues. I could understand why he might be a value moving forward in a better matchup, but not this week. Let's see how it shakes out. Food gaze. Forget about They don't forget about him. The first person I'm telling you, guys you

need to forget about in week ten is Julian Edelman. Listen, I've been telling you I've been down in fading Julian Edelman for a while the same theory, and I don't know that he's ever really popped off. He's been middling in the same kind of levels of production, especially in standard leagues, all season long. And I've been talking about this for a while. It's almost like I called my shot on shot callers and the Fantasy Freestyle. Listen, here's

the theory. The New England Patriots and their thirty nine year old quarterback Tom Brady. He's even older than us Ron's um. He is getting his production from the middle of the field. It is that Gronk, It is that you know black Unicorn. Remember they're trying to replicate what they had with Gronk and Aaron the murderer Fernandez, and

also they have you know, James White. But interestingly enough this week expect Dion Lewis to potentially get that practice okay, and so that all being in a late push even more even more inside the middle of the field targets less on the outside. I don't think Edelman does it. Oh and by the way, they're playing Seattle, so the legion of boom will be on him, maybe Sherman. It's gonna be not the easiest secondary to throw on. So they're gonna do more Patriot style attacking. I say, go

far far away from Edelman. No reason to pay for him at six thousand. I would rather give you either of the receivers I told you even Tyreek Hill over Edelman this week. I think I might make a gentleman bet about that. But regardless of that, Julian Edelman against the Seattle legion of boom for games, you forget about them, you know, let's what's good with that? Gentleman's Batman. I think I kind of agree with everything you've said to

a certain extent. However, I think Edelman is see basically exclusive snaps out of the spot and you've seen Seattle. I know Cam Chancellor is coming back this week, but you've seen Seattle show some vulnerability in the middle of the field. So I agree You've You've been spot on with Edelman all season, and I've been burned trying to be an edlemen boost yourself into a double general double

Gentleman's that? Yeah, I mean it's it's crazy, but you're gonna give me that twenty five percentage point Hills that I was hoping it was a differ, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hell hell you're only young, beautiful and on the Fantasy Sports radio network a few times in your life. It's double double gentleman. What doing dangerous things? It's already a new day in America. What's the codes? It's a new day on the fantasy Freestyle. You know, I got another

fool gaze for dropping dropping. What I'm telling you was my next fool gaze. And this is a more expensive dude than the seven thousands. Todd Gurley. Todd Gurley is a fool gazzy me. If you know anything about speed and spitting statistician, you know that he he's a Jets fan and that also he understands that the Jets defense has been good against the run all the season long, with the little exception of last week against Give and

now the Jets have also had some interesting things. I don't know if you saw Sheldon Richards don't want to go to practice, Mohammed, welcome to you. Don't want to go to practice. They don't even want to go. Don't know what I mean. Thank celebration. They had a cake for him at the meeting. It was his birthday. It was mobiles his birthday. They don't even know that he's gluten free and it was gluten in that case. Sorry,

I'm sorry. It's a big, big, big problem. But I think they might be aggressive and be really excited to stop Todd Gurley. And outside of this, I think the Jets will try to force his case keenom from Jared Goff, whoever it's gonna be to beat him through the air, and I don't know what regardless of that happens. I don't think Gurley gets anything higher than sixty yards against the New York Jets. That's why he is my fool gaze.

Another one, I give you my cap speeds credit when it's two speeds was early on that get rid of your girly share as well. He made the box have a chance to bounce back. You really got to wonder what's going on behind the scenes in l A. And I'm not talking about I'm not talking about I'm not talking about the casting couch. I'm talking about you don't trade up. You do not trade up to get a guy like that. I got a website for you if you like the casting, you know, and then and then

just completely sit him. It's really interesting. And you know, you heard Chris Carter go off on the Rams, but also Jared Goff this week is just so he was basically Chris Carter was like, he's terrible, and yeah, he doesn't. I don't think he understands that how to make play calls. That's what it wasn't. That's what it wasn't hard knocks in the spring training. I don't think he's gathering and

gratsping the offense. You gotta study up man, you know, and I know all the stereotypes about the blonde quarterbacks. But you know your kid, you know you'd hope that that, you know, give him some matter all or something, right, you know, Kenny for Carol and vaccinated rocks. You got one the last few days for the people. Yeah, man, just coming full circle, that all two lane running back edition. You could probably guess it if you know you're from UM.

But it's Matt Forte. Matt Forte out of that Green wave. He's been a top ten pp R back the last three weeks. That street stops against the Rams. Like the Jets, the Rams are pretty pretty solid against the run. They've actually only allowed to top ten backs on the season and the fifth fewest yards to the position. He's the tenth highest money running back on fan duel at He will not finish this week as anywhere near the tenth highest running back. He's really performed very, very poorly this

year when he's faced those tough run defenses. The Seattle defense that we talked about a little bit earlier forty three combined yards and the Arizona defense only twenty two combined yards. I would I would put the rams and maybe not quite that class, but still extremely solid. The receiving floor, which has helped him throughout his career, was so present in Chicago that made him so easy to count on in pe pure leagues, has not really been

there so much is really limiting his floor. Blah. Powell much more involved as a past game back, and he's even seen carries six in the last two weeks. I think you're gonna see Matt Forte totally reliant on a touchdown to return value this week. I would be grudging we started if I had to as an r B two in a PPR league, No way. I'm touching him for the fan duel, full gaze and forget about it. You know. I like that call as well, Rocks, because

I expect a little bit more of that. That's what you have here, Rocks and Speeds on the Fantasy Freestyle, the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Don't forget and subscribe to us on iTunes, check us out on Twitter. Fantasy Freestyle. That's how we do it for week ten. We'll be back next week week eleven. But one more thing, Rocks. You know, one of the teams that's gonna buy this week, I believe is the Detroit Lion. So you know who's gonna buy. That means Jim Bob couder I had to

get that in. Check us out next week on the Fantasy Freestyle with the lines will be playing someone will so be On the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Rocks and Speeds, we got you. Playoffs. Don't talk about playoffs. You're kidding me. Playoffs. I just hope we can win a game.
