Speaker 1

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tunes into the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one of

the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is. This is boy Dane Martinez, a k A. Speeds, a k A to Spitting Statistician, and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As always, want to give a big shout out to all our sports byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces Radio Network around the world. Shout out to the service men and women out there getting a little taste the home from Spittings and Speeds helping you

win your league and win that cat. I got my boy Donnie Burns on the ones and tools keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. And we got a lot of talk about as we go into a Monday, because you know, we had a whole weekend of stuff to catch you up on here. So first of all, as always, I'm gonna be giving you my starting lineup and what pictures you need the in DFS tonight to win a little bit of money. We are also going to be reacting to Game two of the NBA Finals.

As you know, Donnie Burns is on the record with his pick and your boy Speeds is on the record with his pick. We'll see which of those look better at this point in time, intent it is not Donnie Burns. We're also gonna talk a little bit about Jeremy Macklin in a surprise move a lot of people, a lot of people didn't realize that this was gonna happen, but the Kansas City Chiefs decided to release Jeremy Macklin. We're

gonna talk about some places he may end up. And we're also gonna talk about Colin Kaepernick again because now the Seahawks have decided to pass on Kaepernick they signed someone else. What does that mean globally, because you know we've been talking about that as well, and also a wrong we put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio. I have news and updates on some of these other sports love triangles that we've been talking about, and I got

a new one, including your girl Rihanna. Let's see how that goes into it and as always, we gotta pull question up right there on Twitter, so you could find that at f N T S Y Radio. You could also follow find it at Spitting Speeds. Here is your poll question for tonight. Quite frankly, who's the worst quarterback situation in the NFL? Okay? Is it? Is it the Cleveland Browns? Is it the Houston Texans? Is the San

Francisco Forty Niners? Or is it the team that is right here in New York, the New York j E. T. S. Jess and the season. I'm getting some other ideas already on Twitter. You can do that on the poll. You could also holler me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We'll be right back. Get into Major League Baseball tonight. You know what it is.

This is your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician holding you down, one of the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network live event direct from Studio thirty four Rock and Riley's Let's go, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. This boy day Martinez holding you down on a Monday evening right here on a Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got my boy Donnie Burns on the ones and twos so hot that we sweat steam.

We're gonna get at him. A little bit later on on his NBA Finals prediction, he said he's raring to go to talk about that. But to get started. As you know, we start with a starting line up here, so news and notes from around Major League Baseball to start it off. Jason Worth of the Watchington Nationals is going to the d L with a foot injury. He has not played since Saturday, where he fouled a ball

off of his foot. Remember they just got Bryce Harper back after the suspension, and now Jason Wirth is set to miss at least ten days with that foot injury. Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw has been placed on paternity leave. He's gonna be leaving the team for a couple of days to see the birth of his child. Listen, he's been good in fifty one games. He's in two ninety two with ten homers forty Ribby's, So if you have him as your third baseman, you need to make other

arrangements for the next few days. But it is not injury related. Scott Schebler is also still out. He's day to day with a shoulder injury after he made a diving catch on Saturday. Hasn't played since then. Also, Justin Verlander left yesterday's game the third inning. He had us a little bit of a tweet groin. They get an m R. I it has come back clean. They say he should be okay to make his next start. I

believe it is against the Boston Red Sox. But here's what we gotta do, because here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we hold your boys spees and spitting statistician accountable to what he said. So I made you, you know, some called shots over the weekend, which starters you needed to win your leagues and win that cash. I gotta admit, though I did not have the greatest of weekends on Friday. The guy I gave you was Michael Fomer. I told you I liked him and that they were at home

at minus one eight, big favorite. They did in fact get the win. But the thing is, the Tigers won fifteen to five that game, and uh Fulmer did in fact give up to five runs. He struck out five, went seven innings, So that streak of quality starts, unfortunately was snapped. On Saturday. Also, unfortunately, Hey, I apologize, Okay, sometimes I hit it, sometimes I don't. Hopefully you were

not just playing DFS on Saturday. Hopefully you were out enjoying the beautiful weather as it turned to be summer. But the guys I gave you were Lance mccullors and Irwin Santana. I liked them. Neither one of them got out of the fifth inning. Santana gave up seven runs as the Angels somehow beat the twin seven to two. Mccullors went four and a third. He did strike out eight, and the Astros did win, but he gave up three runs. Did not get the quality start. On Sunday, we did

a little bit better. I gave you Jesse Barrios. Jesse Barrios got you a quality start six innings, two runs and four strikeouts. And I told you that game between Severino and Stroman on Sunday up in Toronto was gonna be very interesting, and it was. Both of them had nice outing. Severino, when seven only gave up two, struck out seven. You could have won some cash games with him. However, you may ask yourself self, okay, fine, I still trust

in Speeds. Who should I start tonight, and here's the thing. Tonight is not the best slate. There are seven games out there and there are no real true stud pictures going. I'll tell you the best picture is probably Carlos Martinez. The only thing is he's listed at ten thousand dollars on fan Duel. I think that is way too costly, especially for a starter that is going to be making his start in Cincinnati at the Great American Small Park. I mean that ball is starting to fly, especially as

the weather gets warmer. I like Carlos Martinez at all, but he's just not elite enough for me to pay ten thousand dollars on FanDuel. I think there are ways to beat him. Unfortunately, on this slate there are not great choices. However, here's where I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna go with Mike Fires. I'm gonna go with Mike Fires on the Houston Nashvials. He is at Kansas City tonight in a game that's kicking off in about an hour, and he's listened are only sevent FanDuel. Okay, this is

someone you could use. Fire showed some good strikeout upside. In his last start, he struck out eight and only six innings against Minnesota and his last start. And also, this guy is now pitching to stay in the rotation in Houston, and I want to stay in the rotation in Houston. Also, they got like the best team in the American League. They are scoring runs by the truckload. Why wouldn't you want to try to stay in that

rotation with that run support as well? And he's pitching well while he is competing for his spot in the rotation. I think he has that spot. Remember, because Tarlie Morton was injured a few weeks back. And here's the thing I've been telling you guys, I am fading the Kansas

City Royals at every opportunity that I get. And now, when you have the forty one win Houston Astros going up against the worst team in the American League, I think that Mike Fires can pitch, you know, decently, and still be primed for a win because of the support that he will get. He's also facing Ian Kennedy. Ian Kennedy on the Royals isn't right now, oh for five and five on the season with a five plus e r A. So that's where I think you need to

go tonight begrudgingly. So I tell you, Mike Fires is a cheaper option if you want to try and beat the chalk, which is Carlos Martinez. But I got something else for you. I saw something this weekend. You know. We got Donnie over here. He's a young guy. Okay, he's doing his thing. He knows how to whip and nay all that stuff. We got my man j P

the night out. He's teaching me about all these memes, right because I don't know about all this, right, but I heard news of some elite prospects that are on the way, and I gotta tell you it made me feel old. You know who UH scouts are raving about right now? Is one of the best prospects in Vase baseball. It is an eighteen year old for the single a Blue Jays named Oh and you may know this name

named Vladimir Guerrero Jr. That's right. If you know anything about baseball, you know about his Hall of Fame caliber. Daddy Vladimir Guerrero. This kid is only eighteen years old, but checked this out. He is hitting three seven right now. But the more impressive part to me is that he only has twenty five walks and twenty three strikeouts so far.

You remember his daddy, the free swinging Vladimir Guerrel. Like this is a guy who literally literally hit doubles to the gap on pitchouts or on intentional walks, who on balls that bounced in the dirt like he was playing cricket. Vladimir Guerrero had a strike zone from the nose to the toes. But his little kid, his boy, his baby boy, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Has learned that plate discipline, has learned

about that swing rate. Now, remember this is what we have been talking about for so many other players this year that have changed this exact habit. Exhibit A is my man, Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge made a know strategic change to his approach this year to swing less, made better contact, and he's you know, the fruits of his labor we have all seen. He's now an m v

P candidate so far this year. Right, But if vlad Guerrero Jr. At only eighteen years of old age already has that kind of plate discipline, I think that is absolutely ridiculous. And this kid may be on the fast track not only to being called up by the Toronto team, but to actually making a mark at higher levels of baseball. He's not the only one though. Okay, he's not the only name that you may remember. Check this out. Another guy on this single a Toronto's affiliate, Bo Bichette. Maybe

you remember Dante Bischette. But listen, his kid is doing even better. He's only nineteen years old. He's hitting three seventy eight, drawing rave reviews from scouts as well. So it keeps on turning. But if you remember those names and say year that their kids are already doing big things and on the come up, I don't know how it makes you feel, but it makes me feel, you know,

like past that millennial age. Shall we say? But it doesn't matter here, because we're gonna still give you what you need to win your leagues and win that cash.

Only one game is kicked off and the Cardinals and Reds are still definitely scoreless in the first inning. However, when we come back, we're gonna shift gears a little bit, Okay, because listen, the NBA Finals are continuing right now. The series is shifting from Golden State from the Bay Area

at Oracle over to Cleveland. Now. Last year, the Golden State Warriors were up in dominant fashion two oh and you know how that turned out for them. This year, the Golden State Warriors are up to oh in dominant fashion. We will see how it turns out. We'll also see if my man Donnie Burns wants to change any of his prognostication, because as you remember, we have them both up there. We'll check in on our picks. We'll react

to game too, all that and more. We'll we'll also check in on that pole question took a little Colin Kaepernick as well. I'm the man Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network and of course Sports Byline affiliates around the country and the American Forces Radio Network. This is your boy,

Dame Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle. Come all right back h welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyleish your boy Dame Martinez holding you down on a Monday right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the ones into so hot that we sweat steam. If you want to get at me this hour, you can. The number is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You could also catch us on Twitter at f n T S Y Radio.

You could always follow me ask me some questions at spitting speeds. We're gonna get into that poll question that we got up in a minute, but first I got some news and notes around the NFL. As we get into the cipher, I told you about it at the top of the hour. The Chiefs over the weekend released wide receiver Jeremy Macklin. This is a guy who two years ago had eighty seven catches, eight touchdowns over a

thousand yards. This is going to be a big boon for Tyree Hill, for Trapics Kelsey, for Albert Wilson, and any other wide receiver on the Chief's roster. It looks like this might be a cap saving move. Uh. He was set to make ten million dollars against the cap in the Chiefs now have that money. We're gonna talk about where he might wind up a little bit later on in the show. Tom Savage is getting the majority of first team reps for the Texans at O t As.

Remember the rookie Deshaun Watson many people project to start to inherit that job at some point this season. Also Cam Newton, He's expected to throw in a side field next week when Mini camp starts for the Carolina Panthers. Remember I mentioned that when he had that rotator cuff injury. Uh, he was not gonna throw for twelve weeks. Well, he is slightly ahead of schedule. Regardless, he should be good for the real training camp which will start in a

month or two. Um. Keeping a moving though here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna get into the sefe We're gonna get into the NBA Finals. And I bring in my man in the basketball correspondent and love doctor for the Fantasy Freestyles, my man Donnie Burns. And just to set it up first of all, in case you don't subscribe to the Fantasy Freestyle, and thanks to everybody who does, whether it be on iTunes, on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, app,

I Heart Radio, Audio Boom, all those places. If you're subscribed, you know that before Game one, Donnie Burns made a prediction for the series. He likes the Calves in six okay. I, on the other hand, was on the Warriors in six okay, so you can see how it's going so far. But last night was in fact game to the Warriors continue to roll one thirty two, one thirteen. And the thing is Lebron is getting a little chippy. I don't know

if you saw it. But in the post game, he did not go up to the podium, you know, and he was like going back at some of the reporters being like, hey, you're a smart guy. You know what would happen and ask him, you know, they asked them if the Warriors were different team. He's just like the different team very standoffic should I've noticed that pattern with Lebron when he doesn't get his way, sometimes he gets

a little salty. But I will say this, it was great to see Steve Kerr back on the sidelines for the Golden State Warriors. In Game two, he's saying that he thinks he should be good to go. Throughout the rest of the series. It continues with the pace of play okay, and the back and forth up and down action. It continues really to look like an all star game, and it should because each team is sporting all stars everywhere you look. But the cream of the crop right

now has to be this duo for Golden State. Steph Curry with his first ever playoff triple double thirty two points, ten boards, eleven assists. This guy went seven of seventeen from the field and hit all fourteen free throws that he attempted not to be outdone. Kevin Durant, the Durantula stays hot, the Slim Reaper thirty three points, thirteen boards. He went thirteen of twenty two from the floor. Even Clay, who everybody has been maligning, who I think, has been

playing great ball regard nuts of a shooting percentage. He's playing d He even got back on at eight out of twelve yesterday. Here's the thing. Lebron is gonna put up these heroic, herculean video game numbers. I mean, my Men is averaging eleven, but it's just not enough. Kyrie Irving is not playing well. He only went eight for twenty three. Looked like he was playing a little hero ball, if you want to know the truth. And in game

one they lost the turnover battle nine. The Calves won the turnover battle in game two, but it's still not gonna matter if you get out rebounded by twelve boards in the game, which they did last night in game two. So all this makes it look like the Golden State Warriors are ready to steam roll. But this is what happened last year also, and that might be the only solace from my man Donnie Burns, who predicted Calves in six. You were telling me before though, Donnie, you still feel

comfortable with your predictions. Yeah, I'm still comfortable with my prediction. And here's the thing. The bad thing about the Cavs right now is Kyrie is kind of hero ball right now. As you just mentioned, Um, you know, he's kind of trying to expose. If you watched the game the other night, whenever step would switch on him, that was when he

was trying to expose. He has person and if step if Steph is good at one thing on the defensive end, that is steals and he is good at forcing turnovers and Kyrie, I guess in a sense and knows that. But that hero ball. I think he was eighty three in that game. He really looks bad. Um. Like I mentioned before the finals even started, they really need Tristan Thompson to get these you know, second third chance, you know, rebounds, and that's not happening when he's getting four rebounds. So

you know, Tristan Thompson needs to step up. Kyrie needs to take a step back, and they need to you know, Channing fight came in. I don't know if you right at the very end for a little bit in the beginning. He did well, so you know, you know, Tyron Lou needs to kind of notice these things, and he's got a coach better. But how they're gonna put in how they're gonna put in Channing Fry when they're getting outrebounded by twelve is Tristan Thompson comes in. He needs to.

I know, he's got to. You know. Kevin Durant, we're talking about this downstairs. Yeah, he's playing great defense. Blocks he kind of his timing on a lot of these shots. Now if you watch, it's excellent. He I mean he's block He blocked Lebron, So, I mean he's playing great defense. Uh, you know, the Warriors don't ask too much of him. You know, Lebron is doing a lot more for the Calves. You know, people are saying, oh, Kevin Durant is the best player in the world. I heard that this morning.

I'm gonna shut off my TV. I'm like, come on. The recency bias is out of control. That's why you don't need to listen to these other shows and these other alternative facts in that fake news. Get what you need right here. On the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But I gotta ask you, don you can't feel all that comfortable about our little uh was it a wager? What what what we do? I'd say it's a wage. I'm you know, I'm never

gonna change something like that. Like we mentioned that, you know that happened last year. You know anything that anything could happen. Duraymond could still get Draymond can still I said, ye, Jaja could get injured. You know, all sorts of things could happen. Someone could, you know, coincidentally being Kevin Durant space when he takes one of those jumpers, we shall see. I gotta tell you, remember we gave you those m v P odds going into the finals not looking good.

Kevin Durant at plus two twenty looks like the move right now. I gotta tell you, But I digress. Let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle in the cipher, we had a poll question up and I asked you which is the worst quarterback situation in the league? Is that the Jets, the Browns, the Texans or the forty Niners. I also said, maybe the controversy out there in Chicago with the Bears Remember we had this Mike Glennon and

Mitchell Trabinsky action going back and forth. Right now. Also, I would say big shout out to Raoul Estrata out there at Butcher fifty eight. He wants to suggest the Rams as an option as well. Remember, Jared Goff is locked in, has that star starting quarterback. He doesn't know where the sun rises and sets, so I think that is possible. But right now, thirty percent of you say the New York Jets have the worst situation. But the other part I asked in the poll question and should

these teams try to sign Colin Kaepernick? And here's why, because I've been talking about this. I said he was a good fit in Seattle. He actually did go work out and visit Seattle, and and Pete Carroll their coaches, saying that um cap is still a starter in this league. But then they turned around and signed Austin Davis. Today they say it's because they see him as a backup, and they still see Cap as kind of a starter, and he's still a starter, you know, looking for starters money,

shall we say? Remember his base salary was fourteen and a half million dollars last year before he opted out with the San Francisco forty niners. But here's the question. We had a poll and a lot of people thought it was like, oh, his skills are regressing, Oh he won't take the money. But a lot of people also thought he was being black balled out of the league, that there was collusion, that there was a PR nightmare going on around Colin Kaepernick. And that made me, you know,

dig a little bit into it. And I gotta tell you. I don't know if you've seen this, Donnie Burns, but Colin Kaepernick, when he was doing his pledge and kneeling and all that stuff, he said he was gonna not only you know, take this activism, he was gonna put his money where his mouth is. And he said he was gonna donate over a million dollars over ten months, a hundred thousand dollars a month to you know, like charities and good causes and nonprofits to help, you know,

continue to raise awareness. And here's the thing, Donnie, he's out of work right now and he is still doing it.

They had a PR release about the hundred thousand dollars that he donated to four charities and nonprofit organizations just last week, the American Friends Service Committee, Assada's Daughters, which is helping them build a library from the Resource Kids, an organization called Grassroots Leadership, and also an operation called Helping Oppressed Mothers Endoor where they are literally binding beds

for homeless single mothers and their children. Colin Kaepernick is doing this, and yet we still think somehow to sign him would be a pr night miror for whatever owner won't do that. Why don't they just put that press release out there? That's what I don't understand. Austin Davis can get signed, Geno Smith can get signed. Now, I understand if it's a money thing, but come on, it can't be this pr thing. And Pete Carroll says that listen, he's still good enough not only to play in this league,

but to start in this league. The other person that I wanted to talk about that's in this kind of orbit as well as my man brock Oswilder, the seventy two million dollar noots around the old franchise of the Houston Texans. He's not with Cleveland, and they asked him if he should be the starter in Cleveland as opposed to Cody Kessler or the rookie Deshaun Kaiser, and he said,

get this. Get this, Donnie, He says in response, I think the proof is in the film over the last two years, and that his game film stands for himself for why he should be a starting quarterback in the NFL. That along with his fifteen touchdowns and sixteen interceptions in his time as a starter, I think not, Donnie Burns.

Come on now, if brock Osweiler can pop off about being a starter and Colin Kaepernick has to sit the sidelines, yet he continues to make good on his promise to donate over a million dollars to charities in need, I mean, come on now, right, Donnie. Out of all the answers, he could have given that the wrong one, and there aren't many, absolutely the wrong one, and you guys are

not doing wrong answering the pole questions as well. Thirty nine percent of you say the Jets, thirty one percent say the Cleveland Browns, including brock Oswidler, sixteen percent say the Niners who just let Colin Kaepernick go. Fourteen percent say that situation in Houston with Tom Savage and the rookie Deshaun Watson. We have nominees for the Bears and

the Rams as well. When we come back, we canna switch gears, put the fun and functional sports radio, and I'm gonna tell you why Rihanna is not excited about the outcomes of Games one and two of the NBA Finals, and why Kevin Durrant probably doesn't care. It'shol boy. Dame Martinez spees the spitting statistician fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Hit him up, Hit him up, Man Tupac,

bringing us back in to the fantasy Freestyle. I'm my boy, Donnie Burns with me on the ones into so hot that we sweat steam. We are blowing up like a Samsung seven, bringing you that heat like an inconvenient truth, as Al Gore would say. Here on a Monday, we are reporting live from the you know, Studio thirty four here Rock and Riley's right here in midtown Manhattan. Big shout out to everyone listening on the Sports Byline affiliates around the country and of course the servicemen and women

out there around the world. On the American Forces Radio Network, we're talking a little bit about Colin Kaepernick before you know how, I honestly don't understand, you know, it's just becoming like more and more obvious that there is actually some kind of collusion out there when we talk about Austin Davis and now backup roles are going on less Colin Kaepernick is unwilling to move off of some kind of contract demand about the kind of money that he

would command to an essence try to compete for a backup role. I'm not sure, but um. What we also talked about was how Jeremy Macklin was released by the Chiefs over the weekend, and so what I want to do because I want to look at at a couple of possible landing spots for Jeremy Macklin. I was gonna talk about this this week anyway, because we're gonna start getting into some previews and some football stuff because as you know, fantasy football is always king here on the

Fantasy Sports Radio Network. So one of the things I did was I looked anyway. I was gonna try and give you the teams that in the off season lost the greatest percentage of their targets of their you know, passing production, because those would be places that you may want to see. Oh, this number two wide receiver is gonna kind of step up and be the wide out one for that team, or oh, I had a deep stat sleeper in my dynasty league on that team and

now he may ascend. For example, your boys Spees, the spitting statistician is Rock and Tyreek Hill in a lot of dynasty leagues, and now without Jeremy Macklin, his value will increase. So what I wanted to do was tell you about some of these situations and then connected to Jeremy Macklin because some of these teams that I'm gonna be bringing up that lost a great percentage of their passing production and of their targets, these are all viable

places for Jeremy Macklin potentially to land. So I want to go with the top five. And Donnie Burns, I know you're based excuse me, I know you're a football guy too, so you may want to chime in on some of this. But the team that lost their greatest percentage of targets from last year to this year in the off season is actually the Los Angeles Rams, and most of that was taken up by Kenny britt Right and he moved over to Cleveland in the off season.

They what signed Robert Woods they drafted the rookie, our cop out of Eastern Washington they're gonna bring in. They brought in Lance Dunbar, but that offense really with Robert Woods and Tavon Austin. They have a lot to replace and what was a relatively consistent and reliable, actual professional receiver in Kenny Britt. They lost fifty six percent of

their targets. So think about it, even a guy like that tight end, you know, um Higbie, even guys like oh well, maybe will Todd Gurley get more you know, opportunity out of the past game this year, there's a lot of production out there, not like the Rams produced a lot, but a lot of it is taken away with Kenny Britt moving on in the off season. Similarly, the Cleveland Browns they lost fifty of their targets last year, mostly in terms of Terrell Prior and their tight end

Gary Barnage. Remember they have Corey Coleman coming back in his second year if he stays healthy. Kenny Britt popped up there too. They drafted David Jinjoku as a sleeper tight end. So maybe because Barnage is gone, maybe that means in joke, Wo could be a sleeper as a writing a rising rookie tight end. Neither one of these places are places that I think Jeremy Macklin, however, will

wind up the third team in need of wide receiver. However, the San Francisco forty nine ers lost forty of their targets. Remember they lost that was mostly in Torry Smith, that was and also in Quincy Patton. Okay, now, Pierre Garson, who they signed in the off season. Listen, I think this is a boon to Pierre Garson. Remember Pierre Garson also has experienced playing with Kyle Shanahan in that system

when Shanahan was in Washington. I think Pierre Garson is a really good fit and he is a sleeper to get a lot more production than people may realize. Okay, and behind that way you got Jeremy Curley Marcus Goodwin. Maybe a guy like Goodwin can become a take the top off kind of guy and be good as a best ball play. Okay, but remember they are they have lost targets in San Francisco, which is prime for free

agent pick up. Pierre are sown in my opinion. Now we have the last two teams at the top five in terms of targets lost in the off season, and both of these, in my opinion, are in where I think Jeremy Macklin will ultimately wind up. Before I get into that, Donnie Burns, do you have any ideas, thoughts predictions. I think there are two places where Jeremy Macklin may in fact end up, and both of them lost receivers from their squad last year. Do you think you got

any idea? Did? Donny? Well actually just wanted to touch on the Rams real quick, so I know he won't end up there. But you know, golf can't be checking down the whole time, and they did lose Kenny Britt, so they will have to be throwing it out wide, which could open up because if you watch Todd Girl, he's he's a good pass catching back. He just doesn't really have the opportunity. So I did like that to be a spot. But I'm curious as to the two

teams you do think he does end up? Sure the first The first one I'll give you is what about the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Bills lost four of their targets, which is mostly Robert Woods who moved to the Rams and Goodwin who we already mentioned who moved to San Francisco. And here's the thing, Sammy Watkins, I cannot trust him to be healthy for any period of time. Remember, they have a new offensive scheme in Buffalo with McVeigh the new head coach. Up there. They drafted Za Jones as

a sleeper kind of rookie wide receiver. I don't know if this team can sustain to productive wide receivers, but I don't think Sammy Watkins last the year. If he does, he's a breakout candidate to really get to that next year wide outs. But here's the other thing with Buffalo. Jeremy Macklin's former Philadelphia Eagles teammate, Shady McCoy is apparently already lobbying for for uh, you know, Macklin to make the move up to Buffalo. He's a little comfortable up there.

And I don't know, don do you think Sammy Watkins can be counted on? Who else is there? What do you think? What do you think a little Jeremy Maclin action up in Buffalo? Is that possible? Yeah? We're actually down here at Mike Florio and I mean, I I think it'd be a good fit. But like I said, I like him on the Rams better. Um, that's just my opinion, all right. So I ask you, boy, Mikey Florio the fantasy phenom over there, about my other idea.

My other idea is the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens, they lost thirty four percent of their targets from last year, mostly uh Steve Smith Senior, you know, Ice up Son, and also Kamar Aikin. Though Kamar Aiken, who quietly was somewhat productive for them, he's also gone from that Ravens squad. Listen. I like how they signed Danny Woodhead. You know, Danny Woodhead is going to get some of those receptions, but

really they have Mike Wallace and that's about it. Remember I've been given these greatest shape of his life stories and O t a s and people are now impressed with Brochard Perriman. I wouldn't hold my breath on Brochard Perriman. And I think maybe Macklen. You know, this is a team that is is is always kind of a playoff contender, So maybe if he wants to go somewhere where he can you know, make a name, put Macklin on the other side of Mike Wallace and all of a sudden,

then Joe Flacca has some actual weapons. The wide receiver position for the Baltimore Ravens has been traditionally a black hole where people go to die. I think Jeremy Macklin could be helpful in Baltimore to spice it up. Uh, Donnie Burns and my boy Mikey Floory over there, what are you guys thinking about that? So Mike and Frank are Bolton at grants they do like Maclin in Baltimore. Um, you know, we're kind of talking about the reasons why.

And you know, the Ravens usually lack a good possession receiver and that's kind of what we're all in agreeance with. So absolutely absolutely where Wallace could still be that, you know, can still be that stretched the field kind of guy with his that's the only thing he is good at that. She got to continue to remember. Don't forget about that other guy that we always talk about, Donnie Burns. That's that stretched the field guy that I think will actually

be a wide receiver to this season. We're talking about Ted on the New Orleans sent saying, so we're gonna have to check in on that. But you know, I'll probably be up on you based on my goal than stay Warriors when but I digress. You know what we do here though, we keep the fun in functional sports radio. And now that we're talking about the NBA Finals, there's

another topic. I don't know if you saw this, guys, but if you were watching, there was a star out there that was, you know, heckling, literally heckling in Game one, and that is Rihanna. You may have saw that. You certainly saw what happened when she walked past Jeff Van Gundi and Mark Jackson. They seem to be very pleased with what they saw in terms of Rihanna. But if you go out there, there is footage, you know, Rihanna

dabbing on the crowd. You can literally hear audio of Rihanna screaming brick when Kevin when Kevin Durant is uh, you know, when he's on the uh you know, the free throw line and things like that. I think it's absolutely crazy. Lebron, you know, apparently has a big fan in Rihanna. I've even seen you know, memes, memes with like she's the fourth fourth All Star to go four All Stars against four All Stars, kind of like pictures with Lebron, Kevin Love, Kyrie and Rihanna. I don't know.

I mean, this seems to be like a little thing. I don't know. You know, she doesn't know that Lebron is like a family man now right, I mean, how do how do you see this? Do you think? Uh? Because they even asked Kevin Durant about Rihanna heckling him in the postgame conference, and he was like, what, I don't want to get into that. I don't want to get into that. I think it's kind of crazy. I think it's kind of crazy. But and I don't think

you know about this, Donnie Burns. Kevin Durant doesn't need Rihanna. Do you know who? Another kind of uh, shall I say famous, but in quotation marks like de list celebrity that has experienced with Kevin Darnette, Kevin not excuse me, Kevin Durant. And I wish that my man Susmania, Greg Sussman was here because I know he's all about this. There's a woman by the name of Rachel. She is currently the bachelorette right now in our you know, in

our reality Greatest of All Time. We had the bachelorette. The current Bachelorette, her name is Rachel, Her and Kevin Durant used to date. Really, I actually didn't know that. However, I didn't know that Rihanna thing with Leron is kind of like a little running thing, like she has a huge, huge crush I would stay on him. Yeah, that's like a thing that was like before this even happened. And I did watch the video. I think it was her

friend that yelled brick there. Clearly she is a big Lebron fan, Like, I'm pretty sure she has a huge crush on him. Do you think that Lebron can maybe get Joel embiid a look, because you know he might. He he's actually trying to do that Lebron as a family now. So exactly exactly, I don't know. I found it interesting, but Kevin Durant it doesn't matter. But here's the thing I thought was interesting. Apparently the current Bachelorette and Kevin Durant dated. Uh. They were both at the

University of Texas together. Okay, they both went to school together. And the article that I read said that it was quote unquote pretty serious between them. But here's my question, how could it be serious. Kevin Durant was only there for like eight months before he left after his freshman year to go to the NBA Draft. How serious of a relationship could it have been with the new bachelorette this girl, Rachel. I think it's interesting. But regardless, Kade,

don't worry about what Rihanna has to say. You'll be just fine. I'm sure you're not hurting for for any ladies out there. I also have an update on another love triangle that we have been talking about. Donnie Burns. Adriana Lima is in the news again. I don't know if you saw this, but there was. She put a selfie on her Instagram with her rock and a diamond ring and she said, and I quote, what's up with the ring? It's symbolic I'm committed to myself and my

own happiness. She is fitting in now into this trend of what's called salagamy marrying yourself. Are you familiar with this? Donnie Burns marrying yourself? People? This is like a thing that is happening right now. It started apparently in England. This woman started a trend when she like married herself for her fortieth birthday. There was a sex in the City episode about it, where like, you know, uh, better than marrying Matt Harvey at this I know, And so

that's what I'm saying. Maybe I think that's why Matt Harvey got rocked on Friday night. He went five innings, gave up six runs on Friday night. Maybe it's because he heard that Audriana Lima was getting engaged to herself. I don't know, Tom, would you ever do that. I don't think I would do that, And I don't even know you can marry yourself. I don't think it's like legally respected, you know what I mean. I don't think she's gorgeous though she doesn't really need to be doing

That's what I'm saying. But you know, as you know, any news that has to do with Audriana Lima has an impact on Matt Harvey, and this is no different. When we come back, though, we're gonna tie a nice neat little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna get you ready for my guys on the Fantasy First Look coming your way. We'll checking on the scores around Major League Baseball, checking on the polls, all

that and more. It should boy Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician, holding you down on the fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyleishop boy Dane Martinez, holding you down on the fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As always, big shout out to our sports Byline affiliates around the country and the American Forces Radio Network around the world. Let's check in real quick on

that pole question right now. Even more of you forty one percent say the New York Jets, I don't know about that. Listen, they at least have Josh McCown, who is an actual serviceable NFL quarterback. I feel the same way about the San Francisco forty Niners. Here, Brian Hoyer has shown that he can be successful in the NFL. I'm not saying he's great or world beater by any stretch of the imagination, but at least he's not you know,

he's not Tom Savage and he's not Cody Kessler. I think those would be worse, if you want to know the truth. Big shout out once again to uh, who was it? It was at Butcher fifty eight Raoul Lestrada, who suggested the Rams. I also think that the Bears are an option as well. I'll tell you who does know. That's those guys on Fantasy First Look, and that's what's coming up next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's my man, Frankie Standfull, Mike Florio and the Fantasy Hey

sous Joe Galina. They're gonna be coming in now from eight to ten, and they're gonna give you what you need to break down everything you need to win your league and win that cash. Let's go around Major League Baseball real quick. There were three games going on right now. Giants and Brewers just started. They are scoreless. From Milwaukee also scoreless though in the bottom of the third inning, it is Cardinals and Reds. Remember I told you Carlos

Martinez was probably the best pitcher on the slate. I didn't like him though, at ten thousand on fan Duel. The last game that I'll give you right now, still in the first inning, the Phillies and Tommy. The Phillies put up three runs on the Braves three nothing in the first Tommy Joseph with a home run to get it started for the Philadelphia Phillies right now. I got my guys from Fantasy First Look coming in Fantasy. Hey sous, Joe Galina joining us right now. Let me ask you something.

Who's got the worst quarterback situation in the NFL? Right now? Our poll question? We have the Niners, the Jets, the Texans, and the Browns. I had a fan right and say the Rams. I also think the Bears are an option. I don't know. Forty pent of you they'll say the New York j e t S just end the season. I think Josh McCown is serviceable though. Yeah, Brown, That's where I voted as well. Listen, that's the kind of

insight you're gonna get from the Fantasy Hey, SEUs. Starting right up next on Fantasy First Look, I'm your boy. Dane Martinez will be back tomorrow. You know, we got our Big three power rankings. And also Gary Sheffield has a platform if he was commissioner. I agree with some of it, not other parts. Tune in tomorrow and find out this your boy.
