It's so hot that we sweat steam got

a big show for you on Monday. This is like overreaction Monday obviously, right, So we're gonna get into that a little bit later on. I'm gonna tell you what storylines that you saw yesterday were real and what storylines don't have any legs and you would be just completely overreacting if you jump that way. There's also listen.

We will also take your calls at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, and I would also let you know we gotta poll question up as we usually do on Twitter, so you can find us at F and T s Y Radio on Twitter at Spitting Speeds on Twitter as well. I asked you who is your diamond in the rough for week one on Sunday? I had was it Austin Hooper who, by the way, it was a guy I was telling

you about in my tight End Diamonds episode. He picked up with some stiff forms throwing guys away and out one but two big plays for him. Was it Tyreek Cohen? I don't know if you knew about Tyreek Cohen. But if you listen to not only Fantasy Freestyle, but the lineup Block on Sunday, my man Emery Hunt told you about Tyreek Cohen. He's been telling you for weeks, and now he looks like he knew what he was talking about.

With that diamond in the rough? Was it a guy like Jesse James the tight end caught not one but two touchdowns in Pittsburgh. Maybe a guy like Kenny Golladay in Detroit. Another guy who we told you about on this network. Let us know at spitting speeds at F and T s Y Radio on Twitter. On the flip side, we gotta pull for you as well. Who was your fantasy fo gaze from week one? The guy that you now need to forget about? It was it Eddie Lacy who, in a return to Green Bay put up something like

five carries for three yards. Looked like a fool and looks like a lot of people. Seattle fans and fantasy fans are wondering when Thomas Rawls will be back? Was it Levian Bell? Did he really need preseason? It turns out he only got about thirty years thirty yards of offense wasn't a guy like Brandon Marshall, you know who. Especially after Odell Beckham went down, everyone thought was gonna have a lot of production. It turned out to be

Sterling Shepherd. Only one catch for Brandon Marshall. Let us know you could vote at F and T s Y Radio at Spitting Speeds as well. When we come back, I gave you the news and notes, the injuries and the implications. I also tell you what was real in week one, what you can hang your hat on as a trend that can continue.

Welcome back to the fantasy freestyle dropping status over beach with your boy Dame Martinez speech, the spitting statistician Olden your downs on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Listen, we got a lot of stuff to get into. We got a couple of callers on the line. I'm gonna be getting too in a hot second, including an old

friend of the show. But first of all, I gotta give you these major news and notes and mostly injuries because who would have thunk it? But football is a dangerous game and people have been hurt already, including the consensus number one overall draft pick in fantasy football, David Johnson, the running back from the Arizona Cardinals. Looks like reports are saying that he probably has a dislocated risk conflicting reports.

It looks like he's going for a second opinion on this m RI I, but it sounds like I R and surgery are definitely options in Arizona. They'll be replaced by guys like Kerwin Williams. They may sign Chris Johnson, keep an eye out for that, and Andre Ellington. This Arizona running back room, in my opinion, is now a straight on committee and I am fading all parts of the Arizona Cardinals offense. Also Alan Robinson, a R fifteen. He goes down in Week one with a torn a

c l for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here's the thing this Jaguars offense, it looks like they're gonna try to be a run first team. Anyway. You saw Leonard four net with twenty six carries. You know they want to limit at the exposure to Blake Bortles. So I wonder, on one hand, I'll tell you, oh, maybe Mark He's Lee is a guy you can go out there and throw

some fab budget to. Hey, maybe Alan Hearns, who was only nine percent owned in Yahoo leagues right now, you could probably go ahead and get him on the waiver wire on Wednesday after, you know, kind of throwing any of your fat budget out there, because I think people will go for Lee over Hearns. Maybe you can get Alan Hearns. But I'm telling you, I don't know if any of these Jaguars are the guys to invest in, because I think they are gonna straight up try and

be ground and pound exotic smash mouth due South. But yes, sorry to see Alan Robinson. And also it's his contract year, so now he's gonna be entering free agency next year coming off a torn a c L with praying for you, Allen Robinson, Danny Woodhead. In Baltimore, he has a hamstring injury and they fear that he will miss significant time in baltiware turns out that Buck Allen almost outsnapped Terence West. I've been telling you for weeks. I think Terence West

is just the guy there. They almost They even had Langford there on the practice score. I'm fading all parts of this Baltimore run game until they figure it out. And also in Chicago, Kevin White, he's got a collar bone injury. It looks like he will be on i R as well. This kid now has to be known as an injury prone person. This is now three years in a row that he will not see the field for any substantial point on time. And remember Kem Meredith also already gone for the year for Chicago in that

wide receiver group he had the knee injury. So that in my opinion, leaves ken Dell Right as the last man standing. Okay, so if you need a guy who might be on the waiver, while Kendell Right could be an option and also in Chicago, whof Tyree Cohen. I told you my man Emery Hunt is holding you down here on the line up Block live on Sunday. He was telling you about Tyree cohone and now everybody knows.

All right, it looks like we got some calls. Chris, I want to go to the phones and you can get at me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I got a first call. It is my man Taco in Obama. Taco for into this show. First of all, I gotta ask you, Taco, did you hear us? Me and Jason Robbins, the Draft Kings CEO. We gave you a little bit of a shout out. I asked him to question you wanted how you doing, Taco and Bama? I'm good man, y'all get me several shoutouts.

That was pretty freaking awesome. I gotta say absolutely, you are officially a friend of the show. How are you doing? I hear though you're not doing so well because you had one Mr David Johnson on your roster. Well, I've got I've got a couple. I've got I've got dj I've also got Zeke, you know, up in the air, yeah, and I'm wondering if, uh if I should put Kareem Hunt up on the chopping block and try to get

something for him. Interesting, who are your other options? Like, I would want to know first if there's any diamonds in the rough right there on the waiver wire. Okay, what about like, for example, this kid Terree Cohen's on Chicago? Is he available by any chance? Because I think he is a real thing. The other way I would play at Taco. This a PPR league or not? Is this a PPR league? Yeah? So if you've got a PPR league, there's some other guys out there that might be good

enough PPR backs for you. Okay, because listen, I Kareem Hunts price will never be higher. So I understand the idea of flipping Kareem Hunt. But if Zeke Elliott plays for you, right, if if this suspension and is hanging over his head, you really just need a protection for Zeke because otherwise you can run out Zeke Elliott and Kareem Hunt every single week and be happy about it. What I think you need to do is look for that bye week filling and that other person who's gonna

be in there for you. If Zeke does in fact miss time, and I think you can get that in some PPR stud backs that might be out there. Okay, Taco, So the guys like the Chris Thompson's, the Shane Vereenes, you know, the balal Pals, and don't forget about Tyreek Cohen right here as well. I think though, no, in your unique situation, do not flip Kareem Hunt. Because you still with Kareem Hunt and Zeke may still have two

topped end backs for this season. So I think if you have that in this war of attrition, that will be fantasy football. I think you are happy with that. And I think that you you know, you move d d J to your i R spot and you try and fill that with some of these, uh, you know, some of these PPR backs or ascending backs. I'm gonna take a look at Tyreek Cohen if you can. But if you you know who, if we know who your options are after the waiver, whire holler at me on

Twitter and I'll try and help you out. Thanks for the call, Taco and Bama. Like I said, man, just ride with the guys that you have. If you still have Kareem Hunt and Ezekiel Elliott. Thanks for the call. You're always welcome on the Fantasy Freestyle. Sounds like we got another caller all the way out in Hawaii. Hey, we're here alive from New York City Studio thirty four. But we've got someone six time zones away Ippi in Hawaii. You're dealing with a big time wide receiver injury. You're

on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Man? Uh? Yeah? I had um, I had Robinson obviously, Um, so I got there's a couple of guys on the wire. But if you think there did someone else out there, I got Golla, Daily and Cup still on the on my team on a twelve team on the standard. Okay, so you still have Kenny Gollady, Mark Easley and Cooper Cup on your team. Of those I'm also known. Okay, So so I got you.

I got you. So here's how I would rank those three, okay, um, and hoping you get one of them to help you out With Alan Robinson, I could also ask you also it'd be Ken dell Wright could be a name that might be on your waiver wire as well. Remember the Bears have just lost another wide receiver. I think Kendell Right is gonna be the number one wide receiver in Chicago moving forward. So if Kendell Right is there, he's

another option. But of the three you gave me, Kenny Golladay, Mark Easley and Cooper Cup, here's how I would rank them. First for me, is gonna be Cooper Cup. I think Cooper Cup in this Rams offense, he is going to be one of the leaders of that Rams offense along with Sammy Watkins. I think he's gonna be the number two pass catcher for that Rams offense went and then I have Golladay as number two in that ranking. I think Kenny Golladay is going to be a piece of

that Detroit Lions offense. But I gotta tell you the truth. I think there's so many mouths to feed in Detroit, and Jim Bob Cooter and Matthew Stafford are gonna go wherever the ball dictates. So you know, one week it could be Golladay, the next week it could be Marvin Jones, the next week could be Eric Ebron Right. So I think that he is, you know, a hit or miss kind of guy, whereas I think Cooper Cup is consistently going to be that wide receiver to for a growing

offense in Los Angeles. And then the last one on that list is gonna be Marquis Lee for me. Okay, um, I know Allen Robinson went down and I know you have him, so you would think that maybe Lee is the direct kind of answer to that. I'm not so sure. And here's why I think this, uh Jacksonville offense is going to try and be a run first offense and

it's gonna be Mark's Lee. There's gonna be some Alan Hearns in there as well, So I think this is gonna be really a lot of Leonard four Nett in Jacksonville as they try to win the ball with running and their defense. But of the three you said, I go Cup, then Goladay, then Lee. And I'm telling you if you also give a shout out to see if Kendell right for the Chicago Bears is available, and thank

you for the call. What I want to tell you, though, guys, is, uh, if you're playing fantasy this year, there's a way you could do it for a good cause. And the way you can do it for the good cause is by teaming up. The Fantasy Sports Network is teaming up with

d k MS to help fight blood cancer. So what you need to do is go on over to Daily Rhodo dot com slash g k MS or two Rhodo Experts dot com slash g k MS, and what we're doing is we're putting in um you can register for a DFS contest every week of the NFL season, Okay, and then with that, uh, if you win one of those weeks, you're entered into week seventeen another DFS confidence. If you win that, you can get tickets to Super Bowl fifty two that is going on in Minnesota at

the end of at the beginning of February. We're doing this to a partnership with d k m S because we want to educate the fantasy football community about blood cancer, which is a horrible disease. But with your support we can try to keep on fighting it. Remember, so go to Daily Rhodo dot com or Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k m S and like I said, we are fighting blood cancer entering a DFS tournaments week by week and the winners get a chance to go on

for tickets to Super Bowl fifty two. When we come back right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What I want to do is give you my biggest takeaways from week one. What I thought were things that are gonna be real stories for the entire season, and what are things that are just trends that you could forget about that are just gonna be overreactions.

I go through those things four week one, which you need to know looking yourhead to week two when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle too, Boyd Dane Martinez speeds of spitting statistician. We also will be taking your calls at eight four four eight four, three six eight seven nine off so on the YouTube streame on Fantasy Sports Network on the YouTube stream Live.

Welcome back to the Fantasy style, dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dane Martinez holding you down this hour and you can holler at me if you wanted eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You could also drop a comment in the YouTube live extreme. We get it,

We'll read it on the show. And I gotta pull on Twitter as well. At F and T s Y Radio at Spitting Speeds, I asked you which fantasy football player was your fool gazey and undermined you the most? In Week one, I put up options of Levy on Bell, who only got about thirty yards or so combined on the ground and through the air. What did Eddie Lacy, who defecated the mattress in his return to lambeau Field?

Was it? Brandon Marshall on Sunday Night only caught one ball and that was like on the very very last drive of the game when there was less than a minute to go, or is it somewhere else. Let us know, we have hundreds of votes out there right now, right now, fifty three percent of you say lavy On Bell was the biggest fool gaze who undermined can do. But I got some other options. Interestingly enough, Sean Tramp says a gy e. Remember that game between the Dolphins and the

Bucks was in fact canceled. We also have you know pd D on Twitter. P says, I wish it was just one for him. It was Iffort, it was Marshall, it was Rob Kelly, and it was Russell Wilson. Hashtag FML hopefully does better in week two. Paul out there says Russell Wilson, and Brian goes all the way back to Thursday night if you remember that Brady Grant combo that he was counting on. Also other people out there

saying Allen Robinson really hurt them. Allen Robinson will finish the season with one catch for seventeen yards because he went down with an a c L injury in week one. Al Right, here's what I want to do this segment. What I wanna do h We'll take your calls as well at eight four four or four three, seven nine, will line them up with Chris Boon wanted the bounty

killer holding you down. But what I wanna do is, I want to talk about what I think of the biggest takeaway is not necessarily a narrow ice, but here's the biggest thing that I saw in Week one. There are some bad offenses in the National Football League this year. Okay, not only are there some bad offenses, and a lot

of people think, oh, yeah, that's quarterback play. That's the guys like Tom Savage, That's the guys like Scott Tolzine, and don't get me wrong, that was true, but there are other teams led by good quarterbacks that were not effective yesterday. I'm talking about the Seattle Seahawks. I'm talking about the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm talking about the New York Giants. And you know what, the theme there was? The theme there was the offensive line play. I have said this before.

I said it last year on the Fantasy Freestyle, and unfortunately, I think this is something that is going to be an issue for the entire season. There is bad offensive line play. Across the NFL, and I'm here to tell you two reasons why. The first in college offensive linemen

are just asked to do much different things. And those spread offenses where the cards are held up, I play calls and a lot of people talk abou out how hard it is for a quarterback to come from one of those spread offenses into the NFL, and you know, like really, uh, make that step and understand it's a different game they're playing. It's a different game for the offensive lineman as well. They don't understand about slanting your blocks all one way. They don't understand about being a

pulling guard. They don't understand about passing your block off to the chipping running back and things like that. They're starting from square one in many cases, and I think it's an issue. And here's the part that compounds it. They don't have practice time like they did in the NFL with the new collective bargaining agreement. Okay, I'm talking about they're not practicing in pads. There's not much opportunity to develop these raw offensive lineman. And boy did that

play out yesterday. The Jacksonville Jaguars had ten sacks. Calais Campbell had four by the time halftime was there in Week one. Okay, I'm talking about, you know, Andy Dalton and that offensive line which I was telling you about all preseason. I told you I didn't like that they let their two offensive lineman studs go in the off season and Andy Dalton got sacked four times. Andy Dalton through four picks. I told you about that offensive line

in New York with the Giants. I told you they tried to get Eli Manning some new tools, but their tackles were still blunt, guts, trash, and that played out as Eli Manning got sacked a bunch of times. It was consistently under pressure. Russell Wilson looked like he was running for his life in that game against green Bay, and green Bay was not like a big time past defense. Okay, that's not like a number one path, but they were on Russell Wilson as soon as he hit the top

of his drop. These offensive lines are not gonna get better throughout the season. You don't just sign three new offensive lineman. You don't have someone at the bottom of your depth chart that you were like gonna discover at offensive line. And there were more Brian Hoyer and San Francisco got sacked a bunch of times. You know about Scott Tolzene, a bunch of times got sacked. But let me tell you something. They were winning teams that didn't

really do much offensively. Joe flat Go in the Baltimore Ravens, Okay Flacco completed nine balls all game. Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars Blake Bortles completed eleven balls all game. This is gonna continue. There were some bad offenses out there. Let me tell you something. The Jets got two hundred fourteen total yards. The Texans had two hundred and three total yards. The Bengals had two hundred twenty one total yards. The Colts had two d total yards. This is going

to continue. This has fantasy impact. I'm talking about the Colts guys like t Y Hilton, Dante Moncrief, Jack Doyle. This is gonna continue. In Cincinnati for guys like Jeremy Hill and Joe Mixon. This is gonna continue in New York for Eli Manning for Sterling Shepherd. I think this is a big issue. Watch the offensive line and if they have it on those teams that you're looking at stack in dfs that you're riding with. If there is a piss poor offensive line, that is something that is

not going to change this season. That is something that is not an overreaction as everybody overreacts to Week one. Offensive line play is piss poor in this league right now, So you better have players on a team that can actually protect their quarterback and open up some running lanes. Keep an eye out on that. The other thing that I think is real is last year the number one and two overall picks were quarterbacks Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, and I think both of them are primed to take

a step forward this year. Yes, I know the Rams played against like what is basically, you know, a preseason defense in the Indianapolis Colts. I understand that. I understand that the Colts defense is one of the worst in the NFL. So let's not go crazy, but I'm gonna tell you all preseason long, Jared Goff looked better. Jared Goff now has legitimate weapons on the outside, Sammy Watkins,

the emergence of Cooper Cup Robert Woods as well. They were using uh Todd Gurley out of the backfield as well. Let me tell you something Woods with three catches, Watkins with five catches, Cup with four. These guys all got like five or six targets. They're gonna spread the ball around. This McVeigh offense out there in Los Angeles, I think is going to look very similar to what Washington has been trying to do. And and Jared Goff is going to be a volume thrower and be productive, and I

think they're going to take a step forward. Remember I talked about that Cincinnati offensive line that was bad, Well it was the Rams that signed left tackle Wentworth in the off season to protect their offensive line. And they're gonna have a decent offensive line and be able to protect their ascending quarterback Jared Goff. In Philadelphia's the same thing I told you about their offensive line, how they'll have all Pro Lane Johnson there at right tackle to

protect him, to protect Carson Wentz. The weapons they put around Carson Wentz, he's got weapons to choose from, whether it be zach Ertz and the middle, whether it be you know, al Shon Jeffrey, whether it be over the top to Torry Smith, whether it be Darren Sprowles, who's another PPR back that guys like my man Taco and Alabama can look at if you want to bet. You know, uh, support your your team with the with the loss of

a guy like David Johnson. Okay, I think both of these teams, the Eagles and the Rams are on the way up. I told you about the Eagles. I told you they were looking good. They go to one and go on the road against the division rival, so I thought that was pretty good. I told you about the Eagles. I told you that you should bet on the Eagles. I took the over on the Eagles season win total. You know where you could do all of these things.

You could do all of these things if you go to my bookie dot A G. Right now, Okay, I love my bookie dot a G. I had a three team par laying there on teams that I liked. I told you about the home Dogs that I liked. I par laid the Cleveland Browns. I par laid them with the Chicago Bears, and I knew that on Thursday, I liked the Chiefs to keep it close against New England. So with those three teams, I hit my parlay over at my bookie dot A G. And you could do

the same thing. And if you register with my dot a g right now. You could enter the promo code Freestyle and they will give you a one percent match bonus. Tell him your boys speeds. The spitting statisticians sent you this way. You could have new ways to keep on winning some cash this NFL season. Here's another thing. I've been talking about Chicago a little bit because of the injury, you know, the injury they had to Kevin White and how Ken dell Wright might be the last man standing.

I don't know if you heard this or not, but my man, Emory Hunt gave you Tyreek when he was talking about him all preseason long. And Tyree Cohen went off five carries for sixty six yards, also had eight catches for forty seven yards and a touchdown. There was no Benny Cunningham in there. He got just as much. He only um, you only had something like five snaps less than Jordan Howard. And then now Jordan Howard and Tyree Cohe, I think are going to be in a

real committee. I think Tyree Cohne gets a lot of dump off looks from Mike Glennon because these wide receivers on the outside are all injured. I think this is a boost up also to the tight ends. In Chicago. You've got Zach Miller, but you also have remember the rookie. You got the rookie Titan Adam Sheeen as well. I think they're gonna try and get everybody involved in Chicago. But Kendell Wright and Tyreek Cohen are gonna be names that you might be able to go and pick up

right now in Chicago. Tyreek Cohen, go right now. I'm telling you spend some fat budget on him. Your waiver claim on Tyreek Cohen. That is something that I think is going to be sustainable. It is not uh kind of an overreaction. The last thing I want to tell you is I called this game in Detroit another home dog, the Detroit Lions, and I told you about Matthew Stafford as one of these quarterbacks you can have if you

wait on quarterback. And if you did that, it worked out for you, okay, because Matthew Stafford with four touchdowns, almost three hundred yards passing, and they will continue to throw the ball in Detroit next week Mundane Night against the New York Football Giants. All right, when we come back right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I'm gonna give you an update on this Viking Saints gaming. There are points on the board, and the Vikings are driving.

I'm gonna tell you about other things that I think are real and a couple of things that I think are in fact over reactions. Will also check in on the polls at Fantasy Sports Radio Network at Spitting Speeds. We'll see who you had as your gazey for the week. All that and more when we come back, dropping stats over beats right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

On your boy, Dane Martinez speeds of spitting statistician holding you down on a Monday. We got my man Chris Bovona given it so hot that we sweat steam on the ones and twoes as well. I told you I had some pol questions up on Twitter, and one of them is which one was your diamond

in the rough? I asked up your fool gaze. He's already, but I want to know who was your diamond in the rough that helped you out. I put out some options and I want to hear from you as well. I got Austin Hooper, Tyree Cone, Kenny Golladay or was it someone else? And right now thirty seven percent of you are saying it was someone else. I had Austin Hooper in my lineup, embloyded. I love that seventy plus

yard touchdown. I did not have Tyree calling. But I know my man Emery hunted, and he looks like he's gonna be a real life thing, especially with the injury to Kevin White, Mr Glasses. I like to call him Kenny Golladay. I'm less sure of, okay. I had one of the callers earlier on asking about Kenny Golladay to pick up as a replacement for Alan Robinson, and I told him that Cooper Cup I think is gonna be more stable because in that Detroit offense gonna change, you know,

um game to game. They may be going with somebody else, but you guys have so many other options of people that helped you out. Jay Rod on Twitter has Charles clay Ron Whitman was apparently playing in an I d P league or somewhere where he had the Jacksonville Jaguars defense because he just said newest Jaguar their free agent acquisition, Calais Campbell was big. Matthew on Twitter at the Matt Donna Hugh says rams D. I had the Rams defense in my DFS lineup, and boy did that hold me down.

I did a little bit of work in DFS, went a little bit of cash. That's why you gotta listen to your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. I had a couple of lineups out there. I gave them to you on Lineup lock Live on the Friday Show, which you can hear me and my man the Tony Sencada from six to seven pm. Eastern time on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I gave out my two lineups, both of them cash, both of them cash and tournament as well.

We've got some people saying Cooper Cup, Nelson Agilor returned a great DFS value for at David Fox on Twitter, and Clayton Trey Hand was now a friend of the show. Always responding to the poll, said Stafford, and went in a two quarterback league. That looks good. And I remember those are two quarterbacks who could have gotten if you waited on quarterback, like I told you on the Fantasy Freestyle. All right, I want to keep it moving, but it

looks like we do have a call. I want to get to the callers right here at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. It sounds like Chris, we've got Josh in New Jersey hearing all my tyreek Cohen Love and has a question about the Bears backfield. Josh in New Jersey, you're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? Yeah? So, um, I have so I started Jordan Howard this week, and then I

also had Mike Gillislee on my bench. And then I realized that looks like he was really making impact in Um Howard's carries. So I was really confused on what to do, Like maybe I should start Gillis Flean next week or alright, thanks for the calling, my man, but no, I would not start Gillislee over Jordan Howard. If you could get a guy like Trea Cohen on your waive of wire, that's great, okay, But here's the issue with Gilliesley.

And I know he popped off crazy on if he was on your bench last week with the three touchdowns, but if you look at his stat line, you also oh that he only ran for like forty or fifty yard's okay, it says that he seems to be that between the tackles pounded back for the Patriots, like like Garrett Blunt was last year. But here's my concern with gilles LEI my concern with Gillsle is that the Patriots on a week to week basis, you never know which

running back it's gonna be. It could be Dion Lewis, it could be James White, it could be Rex Burkett. You never know, and they make a habit of it about changing it week to week just because Mike gillislely had a big game last week. Let's not go to crazy. Jordan Howard is the guy you need to still start. If you have Jordan Howard in your lineup, you probably spent you like your second round pick for Jordan Howard. Do not, you know, kind of abandon him or bastardize him.

I do think, however, unfortunately he's gonna be in something of a share with Tyreek Cohen. But here's the thing, there's only like five situations in all of the NFL where there's not some kind of shares hold tight with Jordan Howard, and uh, Mike Gillislee should not necessarily be on his place. Do not overreact to week one, but

thank you for the call um. Like I was saying though before the caller here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, there's a couple of other things that I think are sustainable. I talked about the Detroit Lions and the Matthew Stafford side, how I love getting the aggregate that was Matthew Stafford.

I'm gonna tell you somebody that I'm fading, that I've been fading, that I was called right in that same game as Carson Palmer Carson P. Palmo in two sixty nine one touchdown and three interceptions, and as going into the season, I said that I think Carson Palmo is that aging quarterback that was about to fall off a cliff and that he was lucky that he had David Johnson. Now, without David Johnson, they're going to, in essence, ask Carson Palmer to beat teams, and I don't think he has

equipped anymore to do. So you need to get away from all of your Arizona Cardinals. The other thing I wanted to mention that I think are things that are gonna continue and that are not something to overreact to is the evolution of the offense in Carolina. If you remember and if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, I have been talking about this for a long time. Okay, I think that this offense has changed because they want to protect Cam Newton. Cam Newton only ran the ball

like six times for like three yards. Okay, Cam Newton is trying to get the ball out quick, and that is going to happen to one. Christian McCaffrey. Hello, everybody right there on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're here live at Studio thirty four. Rocking and Riley's readier in midtown Manhattan. Some people getting ready for Monday night football. We got games going on right now. Okay. McCaffrey he had thirteen carries, right which you know he's sharing with Jonathan Stewart. Okay,

j stew is still involved there as well. But McCaffrey had seven targets. Okay, So they're trying to get the ball to McCaffrey twenty times. A lot of underneath stuff, a lot of dump offs, a lot of quick slants. That is what they are going to do. I've been telling you about this, and I think it is gonna be very interesting the mismatches they can create. But what I also want to say is that this is not

good for the tight end. Greg Olsen. Okay, greg Olsen did not do much on Sunday, and I've been telling you that this offense is going to evolve away from greg Olsen. Greg Olsen was the guy that Cam Newton loved to throw it up to in those deeper drops, and that is not necessarily going to be the case. Greg Olsen only two catches for eighteen yards and only four targets. Okay, that is something that is concerning I'm telling you this Panthers offense is continuing to evolve, and

it is evolving away from Greg Olsen. Okay, the one other thing I want to tell you. You know, you look at stats, but I look at two very interesting stats that maybe everybody else is not looking at. I look at running attempts for running backs, and I look at targets for wide receivers. And after Week one, the leader in carries in the NFL is Leonard four Net. He ran the ball twenty six times in Week one despite that ankle injury. They are going to ride him

now even more. No, Allen Robinson, I told you Blake Borders only completed eleven passes, and yet they won that Jacksonville defense looks like it is going to be stout up front with Calais Campbell getting the rush ten sacks. You know, they have Jalen Ramsey and A. J. Bouyer in the back to help with defense as well. I think this Tief team with you know, I mean Tom Coughlin at the Helm, Doug Moron, they said they want to run the ball, and I think they're gonna be

able to. Leonard four Nette leads the NFL and carries. I think he's going to be another load, just like Zeke Elliott was last year. You know who the league leader in targets was, the league leader in targets right now with sixteen targets yesterday was DeAndre Hopkins, the d hop the d Hoppopotamus. And I've been telling you that

I thought Tom Savage was good for DeAndre Hopkins. Well, Deshaun Watson threw it his way as well, and I think that if they keep on feeding DeAndre Hopkins, he will return back end wide receiver one high end wide receiver two numbers. I like DeAndre Hopkins, and the shift to Deshaun Watson did not change my thoughts on the potential and the production for DeAndre Hopkins. I must admit, though, if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know this already.

You know that my knockout Pool pick for Week one was the Houston Texans. I didn't think that Blake Bortles and the Jaguars could go into that building with the emotion after the hurricane relief, you know those efforts by J. J. Watt raising over thirty million dollars. I thought that crowd was going to have the biggest home field advantage of any arena in the NFL, and that did not happen. But I gotta tell you it was really the Jacksonville

defense and that running game. That's the way they're gonna win. But unfortunately I got knocked out real early in my Survivor pick. But you can still go to www. Dot Fantasy factor dot com. I told you last week how they were doing um tournaments that was free to enter, free to register, and they were giving out a thousand dollars. Well you can still register. You can still if you want pick either the Chargers or the Broncos right now,

because there's still a game left, you can register. You'll still you'd have to pick one of those two teams, but you can still get in there if you want. Okay, Fantasy factor dot com. It is free, and they're going to be giving away a thousand dollars. And to be quite honest, you already beat me because I had the Houston Texans. What I want to tell you. Also, there are some things that are definite over reactions. Okay, there are definitely some overreactions here on Overreaction Monday, the first

ones Levy on Bell. Okay, you know of the people on the pole say that Levian Bell was a fool gaze for them. Calm down. The guy didn't have any of preseason. The guy went in there with about four practices and you know he'll be just fine. I know he only had thirty two yards on the ground. I know we only had something like three catches for fifteen yards. Then a lot of that was towards the end of the game. You had like one fifteen yard run at the very end of the game when they were trying

to as salt it away. Cleveland Browns feisty, tough out like I said, but do not start to fade Levy on Bell like the call I was asking, you know, do I flip now? Uh, someone like Jordan Howard, Do I flip now, someone like Ezekiel Elliott. Do not do this. That would be a complete overreaction. Levian Bell is still primed and ready to be one of those true workhorse backs. There's only about four or five of them in the entire NFL, and David Johnson, who's one of them, went

down with a dislocated wrist in Week one. We're getting reports that it does look like they are going to put David Johnson on I R and he may in fact require surgery, so he's gonna be out for a long time. I think the back in Arizona is gonna wind up being a true committee with Kermit Kurlwin Williams. I think they're gonna sign Chris Johnson because he's familiar there, and I think they're gonna have some work for Andre Ellington as well. I would go other places, guys like

my Man and Emery Huntsman, Tyreek Cohen. When we come back though, on Fantasy Freestyle, I'm gonna tell you what I think about this late night Monday and football game and one other way. It won't be an overreaction, but something that with all this bad quarterback player name we have to bring up his day. Martinez speeds the spitting satisfician,

dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. Fantasy Freestyle as the wife, he's got a collar own injury that it now has to be known as an injury prone person. This is now three years in a row that you will not see the field for any substantial point in time I remember, can't remember. It also already gone from the year for Chicago with that wide receiver group he had the knee injury, so that in my opinion, he's

Kendell Right as the last man standing. Okay, so if you need a guy who might be on the waiver while on Kendell Right could be an option, a weak case. From seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Radio Network, Murder was the case that they gave me. As we come back right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over beat Stain Martinez speeds and spitting statisticians. Only got a couple of minutes left, but we do have one more caller, and you know I'm a man

of the people. I want to help you out. So we got Step in Massachusetts. Sounds like you've got some questions about the running backs in Baltimore. Steve, you dropping stats over beats. It's a Fantasy Free style with your boy speeds. What's up? Yes, quick, I'll try to make this quick because I know you're almost soft the air, So uh quick, quick question. And I also have a question too with David Johnson. Let's get to it the Arizona defense as well, because I'm I'm i own in

their defense. So I was just a little bit worried about that. Because the way that cautioned Palmer looked you didn't look all that great. And then my question about the running backs is I have Ternce West and somewhere I lost h Danny Woodhead because of that handstring injury. So, uh, this bunk like everybody's making noise about Buck Allen should be worried at a Terence West owner that uh that this guy might end up becoming like more of a factor in the passing in the running game or Terence

West's job secure. All right, thanks for the call, Steve. I'll try to answer both of them. First, on your Arizona defense part, Yes, I would be worried about the Arizona defense, Okay, I do think you talked about it. The offense has played something into this. I can see Carson Palmer, you know, with some turnovers giving the short field to the Arizona defense. I also time to tell you, I think that the Los Angeles Rams offense is better in that division now, and you're gonna face them two times.

It's an improving team over there. I would be worried about the offense in Arizona and it's implications on the defense. I think you can find better options on the waiver wire. For your other question about Terence West, if you are a Terence West owner and you were talking about how, yeah Woodhead is gone, and now what about Buck Allen. Yeah, I do think, especially in PPR leagues, that Buck Allen in a half point PPR and a full point PPR,

buck is going to be the passing game back for Baltimore. Okay, Terrence West, I've said it before, he is just a guy. They have been trying to run out a ton of people to take that job. They even signed, you know, like they even signed like Jeremy Langford to the practice squad. Okay, so yeah, I do think that, um, buck Allen is viable as a committee with Terrence West. I know Terrence

West had like eight yards and a touchdown. I don't think, um, that Terrence West is going to return real value for the Baltimore Ravens or for you as a fantasy owner this year. Unfortunately, He's just the guy. So I'm gonna have on your roster. But yeah, Buck Allen is gonna be in PPR league. It's an interesting threat to him in Baltimore. Thank you for all the calls, Thank you

for everybody answering the polls on Twitter. We're gonna be looking ahead to Week two starting tomorrow on the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm gonna break down every game, tell you what you need in new matchups on Week two. Remember also the Miami Dolphins and the Tampa Bay Bucks get into actually as well. But it looks like Zeke Elliott will continue to play for the Dallas Cowboys. Right now in Minnesota,

the New Orleans Saints are driving. That game is three three, middle of the second quarter and the Saints are driving on the Minnesota Vikings. Look going to put it in the end zone to take a lead there. And then, like I said in the nightcap, we got the Chargers and the Broncos. I am worried about the Broncos. I

think it's more bad offensive line play. I told you offensive line play is the problem, and I think we're gonna see that again in the nightcap when second year study Joey Bosa gets pressure on Trevor Simeon, who is not one of these elite quarterbacks anyway, and I think that Bosa will get some pressure. I think Philip Rivers will find the open man. And I like the Los Angeles Chargers plus three or three and a half points to go into Denver in a tight a f C

West Divisional game. I like to charge just plus the points tonight. Like I said, when we come back tomorrow, we're gonna start looking ahead to Week two and I'm gonna tell you who you need on the waiver wire, and we'll also be taking your calls.
