It should boy Jane Martinez a k A speeds a k doesn't, Statistician a k A. The Stable de Genius and vocal Minority, And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network episode I think three hundred and eighties six. It is the three hundred and eighty sixth convening of the Stats Overbeat Cipher. And you know what the Stats over Beat Cipher does. We are here to help you
win you more leagues and win that cash. We put the fun and functional sports content at the same time, we got a good show for you. Okay, football is on and popping. I've been saying that for the last couple of weeks, but it is getting ready to go. Okay, I have a lot of draft questions coming up. I got a lot of drafts. We've gotta do a lot of leagues I'm in and we're gonna update all that stuff.
Most notably, we are going to update the progress on the formation of the first ever, maybe first annual Stats over Beats League. We're gonna get that pop and I got updates for you on that. We got a good show though. After that, well we're gonna do I'm gonna update you on all the camp news and notes. Yo, there's a legitimate wide receiver three that broke a bone today, all right, so I'm gonna tell you who that is. Um.
In the next segment, we're gonna have some fun. I'm gonna go off a little bit on the NFL because they're inconsistency. I'll tell you why, uh later on what we are going to do. Remember, I also we were going into the a f C South on Monday show. I gave you diamonds and fool gazes. We talked a little bit about Indie. We talked a little bit about Jacksonville. I believe we'll cover the other two teams there, Houston and Tennessee. We'll look at their schedule for some nuggets
to mind, win totals, division prices, all that jazz. And then of course at the end of the show, we'll bring in my man Danny Auto and uh, you know, the whole stats overbeat Cipher. We'll put the fun and functional sports content. If you want to join the show and talk to me about keeper decisions about drafts that are upcoming about stuff like that, feel free to holler at me. Also, Okay, we'll open the phone lines in the third segment. Okay, in the third segment, will open
the phone lines. The number to call if you do not already know the number, the call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We'll have the phone lines open in the third segment. If anybody wants to holler at the spitting statistician. Okay, we're gonna get all into that. And as always, we gotta pull question up. And I think it's a very interesting one. And when I see the results right now on Twitter,
it is very interesting. People are split on this. The question is if you were the Chargers, if you ran the Chargers front office, would you extend Melvin Gordon or would you go into the season with Austin next Heckler and Jackson as you're running back tandem, you know, And it's interesting right now on Twitter. Okay, you can check
out the poll at spit and speeds. If you don't follow me already, I don't know what to tell you, all right, but you can check out that poll at f f T s Y Radio, at Fantasy Sports Net right now, Yes, like you would extend Melvin Gordon and no, it is very close right now, My man's strong style. Dilly dilly stats over beat Cipher and in the stats over beats league. You know what it is, says pay
the man, Pay the man. I understand that. Jerty right after that, who's my boy and is always in the chat room real deal stats over beat Cipher says you can get his stats elsewhere. Both of those are valid opinions, right. W sixty says Melvin Gordon is way overrated, give me stats about only one thousand yard season, that sort of thing. Michael Vincent, however, says it's now where never. I think all four of these comments are right on spot. Maybe
you can get his production elsewhere, right? Could the next man up do just the same thing we've We've seen Ekeler, You've seen Jackson do it. Right. We know running back contracts. Remember I told you about the Lamar Miller, the Shady McCoy, the DeVante Freeman, the Giovanni Bernard contracts. Right, it's never really that great of a long term investment. Look at Todd Gurley even, right, But can you get his stats elsewhere? Can you get a hundred percent of his production elsewhere
or can you get or seventy or nine? I think the answer is something less than a but I'll give you that it's something over seventy percent. Okay, Yeah, Eckler and Jackson showed they could do some of the job right. But the catch for me is what Michael Vincent says. It's now or never, not for Melvin Gordon, but for
the Chargers. It's now, we're never for the Chargers. So if Eckler and Jackson get you eight of Melvin Gordon, do you want to risk that in the year where you are contending when Philip Rivers has two years left or three years left or one year left. I don't know, and that's why this pole is nine right now, and I think it is a valid question. Come on back on the other side, we'll talk about this updates. You know, draft strategy, a f C South, the stats over Beats League,
and the fun and functional sports content. Dilly Dilly to the stats over Beta cipher. If you want to get down, hollat you boy. I'm taking calls today and moving forward. Come on back. Hey, thanks for downloading the podcast, and remember, if you want to listen live download the I Heart Radio app, download the tune and app, and just search for Fantasy Sports Radio Network and you could listen to

Enjoy the show and face for listening. Here we go, Yo, here we go, yo. Here. So what's the scenario? Yeah, you know what it is, Fantasy Freestyle right here on Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Dame Martinez, the spitting statistician with the status overbeat cipher. Yo. This
is a dividing issue. Okay, the poll is like fifty fifty my man, Francisco G. And the chat room is saying, give him just a two year deal, right, give him a little bit more money on top, keep everybody happy, and then he's there. Because here's the thing, the key for this, the key factor for me for this, and Francisco G will probably agree. As a Chargers fan, your window is open right now. And guess what when the phillilip rivers walks away to you know, be a parent
to like seventeen kids, your window is closed. It's done. Okay, and what is that two years? So in those two years you need a hundred percent of your running back room. And I think Melvin Gordon does have a little bit of leverage. I think he's slightly above the line of where you can go. We'll talk about another back that's in a similar situation. And then it's ironic is not making any contract demands whatsoever. We'll talk about that a little bit later on. We got to pull a question up.
Feel free to holler at me there. You can holler at me in the chat room. You can holler at me on the phone. I give the phone line. Will open up the phone lines on the third segment a little bit later on at eight forty seven forty will open up the phone lines. All right, news and notes, since we last talked, since the cipher last convened here on Monday. Um, so you know about Melvin Gordon, you know about Ezekiel Elliott. Right, I got another first round
round Fantasy draft pick to add to the mix. That may hold out. Where that is gonna hold out? Yeah, Michael Thomas, wide receiver of the New Orleans Saints. Looks like he may hold out. Check this out. He's only making one point one million. This is a guy with a hundred some odd catches. This is a guy. Didn't Drew Brees have like a completion rate with him? This guy is worth it, right. He's the number one wide receiver on a high octane offense with a Hall of
Fame quarterback that needs him as his wide receiver. One does he have leverage? Now? It's very interesting. He wants an extension. He wants to get like twenty million a year. Okay, O'Dell is at eighteen. He wants something between eighteen and twenty. I think he's worth it, especially for the passing attack that is the New Orleans Saints. We'll see what happens. This is not only running backs doing this. And listen,
the wide receiver career is longer. Maybe a four year contract is a more sound investment for the wide receiver than it is for the running back. That's absolutely viable. Right. Michael Thomas is also no across league, is a very high character guy. Right, So you don't have the availability concerns you may have had with Zeke Elliott you may have had with Levy on Bell. These buyers have both been suspended in their careers. Right, You don't have that
concern with Michael Thomas. What I think Michael Thomas needs to do though, he needs to let other people set the market for him. He doesn't need to talk much. Listen, O'Dell got eighteen million. Julio Jones is talking contract right now. Amariki Cooper is talking contract right now. Tyreek Hill is talking contract right now. Let those guys set the market and then you just slot in where you're supposed to. I think that is very interesting. You know, the running
backs are not the only ones trying to hold out. Also, listen the big news last week, let's Tyreek Hill and that he was not being suspended by the NFL. He's gonna play all sixteen games, you know, I mean at least at this point barring injury. Right, Um, I think with the NFL, I don't know the merits of the tyree Khill case, right. We know Voiceman els and hear
say and all that stuff. I don't know if I'm not here to judge that case specifically, I am, however, here to judge and throw shade on and defecate all over the NFL policy. And here's why, Okay, Tyreek Hill domestic violence case not arrested, right, no suspension? All right, A lot of you guys may not know the name Gerond Reid. Jarn Reid. He's a defensive lineman for the Seattle Seahawks. Guess what. This guy had a domestic violence
case in two thousand seventeen. Guess what. The police in that case could not find enough evidence to charge them to arrest them. They said there was not enough evidence to know that a crime could be committed. Yes, what though? The NFL did their own investigation, and I guess they turned up something. I don't know. The NFL investigating is better than the cops. I don't know. And Gerard read he applied, appealed, excuse us me, denied. He's getting a six,
six game suspension, So telling me. I've been telling you guys ever since Jamis Winston messed with an uber driver. Josh Brown assault beats his wife right on NFL like sanctioned property at the Pro Bowl. Meanwhile, Sean Roel Henderson gets sixteen games from smoking weed. A guy gets a game for wearing the wrong cleats, right, tyreek Hill domestic violence case not arrested, not enough evidence, no suspension. Jarn Reid domestic violence case, not arrested, a charge, six games suspension?
How does that work? People? How is that consistent? What are what is the NFL doing? That's why it's a problem, Okay, because I can say now what the NFL is favoriting the Chiefs. You know, the NFL cares more about star players, are more about buzz, more about skill position players, more about Kansas City. All the subjective things come into play. That is the reason you have a damn policy. So you could just whatever it is, refer to the policy.
Whatever that policy is. Geron Reid and Tyreek Hill seem like similar cases. How does one get nothing and one gate six games? That's a slippery slope. That's the problem with the NFL. And even in an article here, the NFL has an ugly recent history. All right, but but what Tyreek Hill will bring eyes to the set, He'll bring ratings. He's on fantasy football teams as a second round draft pick, so we gotta let him out there. That's a real problem for me when it comes to
the way the NFL adjudicates this. Look at the case of Tyreek Hill, look at the case of drawn On Reid, and tell me what's different about them. So that Read gets six games and Tyreek gets nothing. All right, but I digress. Um. The other thing I want to let you guys know about. Remember I just told you at the top of the hour that, uh yeah, a wide receiver three or flex guy broke his broken thumb today in practice. You need to change some draft boards today.
I told you as camp's open, I'm gonna start giving you injury reports. And New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepherd broke his thumb in practice today. Okay, they're listening him now as week to week. And uh, I don't know if this is gonna go into the regular season, right, I mean, we're still six weeks away from the regular season. But if it does, you need to know. I think this boost Evan Ingram even up a little bit higher in that second tight end. Here something to note about that.
All right, here's what I want to do. We only got a couple of minutes. We gotta break. I want to talk so much stuff about the a f C South. I want to give updates on the stats overbeats league. Um, and we are going to do that. Remember, first of all, thank you. We're gonna do this, guys. I want to let people know first we're gonna do it, all right, I said, if I got you know, I wanted to fill a fourteen team league, me Danny Otto down there
in the pitter misery, those are two. I needed twelve other people that would agree to the format, draft date, buy in, you know, the we're gonna use Yahoo, you know that sort of stuff. And once again the status of a beat cipher came and represented. In the last three days since I've been on with you guys, I have gotten a number of interested parties. We have more than enough to fill the league. We have a waiting
list as well. Okay, and so we'll talk a little bit about the details what the next steps are for those people who are the first twelve that I'm gonna invite to join the first annual and first ever stats over Beats league. We'll talk about that a little bit later on in the show. And then well, you know, I'll lay out the kind of procedure that I'm gonna go through here to make sure we get people. Um it's names, you know, people if you're real doest stats
over beats. Uh, these are people you know all right, that we're gonna do a league together, and then there's definitely some of my Patreons, you know, because listen, if you're a Patreon right and you're subscribing to me, you get special access. So if you're Patreon and you want to be down right, I can't. So if you're a Patreon, I'm letting you in. If your real deal stats with beats and we all know you, we're letting you in.
And I'm sorry. You know, there's there were a number of other people who applied or or hit me up, and I appreciate it, you know, I can only it's overwhelming, guys. I can only fit twelve of you, And I apologize. Maybe next year we'll do something like co managers or divisions or something like that. I I didn't even think we'd be able to fill a league. But the stats
over beat Cipher comes strong, like they always do. I will talk about that and um, speaking of Patreon, one of my man uh sees on Patreon asked me about like draft strategy, like I'm giving you diamonds and fool gazes people do rankings. Talk to me about an overall strategy? How do I navigate? And I thought, you know what, that's a great idea. I'm gonna tell you about this how I play it. You know, in what I call five phases of the draft is one to three all
the way down to live right. I'll talk through my mindset there and then we'll preview these other two teams in the n f C South, talk about stats over beats league. We'll put the fund and functional sports content hollow at me, answer the poll. All that jazz, dilly dilly. We'll be back on the other side of the break. Fantasy Freestyle up.

I got a lot of stuff going on right now, people, I gotta tell you the truth, all right, we're doing this, I'm running back and forth in commercial breaks. I also have a nice little wager on a money line parlay today. Already got through half of it, the Graham and the Mets one part one. All right, I'm looking at the
Washington Nationals. That's the final leg of my parlay. They are up seven six going into the top of the ninth, so I got one eye on that as well. We got the pull question up right now, which is still very very tight about Melvin Gordon. We are still holding pat where like say yes forty percent say no about if the charges should in essence fold and acquiesced to Melvin Gordon's ultimatums and demands and hold out. So we'll keep track on that throughout the show. All right, Uh,
Like I said, sees one of my patreons. And by the way, as we start to get into football season, I get bombarded with questions. Guys. If you want my response, the best is to subscribe on Patreon.

Use the hashtag stats overbeats. That's how I know your real deal cipher, and I will prioritize you as much as I possibly can. Okay, but sees who's one of my patreons out there. He asked me about like draft strategy. So I wanted to kind of detail that for you. Okay. I wanted to detail that out for you the way I approach it, all right, And the first thing I gotta touch you, all right, The first thing I gotta tell you, um, none of this is set in stone.
None of this is set in stone. Okay. You always have to be able to adjust. But this year, and it depends, you might be sitting in the one spot, you could be sitting in the seven spot. You could be sitting in eleven. You know. So it's different, right, but generally speaking, rough contours, this is the way I'm approaching it. And Danny, it's so funny. I'm telling people
I'm about to approach draft. Yet like twelve people that are listening to me right now are gonna be in a league against me, and I'm telling you how to approach the damn draft. I feel a little bit conflicted, you know. Running the stats overbeats league. Given the stats over beats, cipher strategy on how to win their leagues and win that cash, and then they're gonna what win my cash? Sh alright, so let's figure this out, all right. Phase one of the draft for me is really round one,
two and three. This year. My priority in round one and two is to get one of the top running backs. Okay, maybe what ten of them? Maybe we all know the names, okay, se kwan Zeke c mc kamara, Lev Bell, David Johnson, Joe Mix and James Connor, Melvin Gordon. You know, if you prefer Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook, whatever it is, those guys. I need to make sure I end round one and
two with at least one of those guys. If not to That's why, honestly, if I'm in the sixth spot and five running backs have gone off the board and divide, you know, like d Hop, but James Connor is still staring at me, I'm getting the running back because on the comeback, I'm gonna be staring at like Marlon Mack as my RB one and that's not what I want to do. But what I've seen so far is that if you get all those running backs they go that first round, Let's say it's twelve picks, you're just gonna
get nine running backs. You're gonna get like two or three wide outs. So you'll still get the wide out in round two if that's what you want. Like if you're in the middle of the draft, let's say you get a Levy on bella David Johnson, like a pick six. On the comeback, those you got real wide receiver one is still available for you. Okay, you got old Dell Beckham still there. You got Julio Jones still there, you
got Antonio Brown still there. Okay, that's the way I would like to go, all right, unless you're at like late in the first round, where on the comeback you can still get a Dalvin Cook. You can still get Joe Mixon if that's how it falls too. But generally speaking, in the two middle of the second round, I'm excited if Odell is still there, I'm excited if Julio is there, all right, But if you're in the back half, I mean the front of the first round, back of the
second round, it's a little different. There. You may be able to double up on wide out, get like a t Y Hilton and a Keenan Allen and I like that. I like that a lot. But for me, I also happen to like some of those ten to fifteen running backs. Right, So that's where my question is at two three? How can I get get one of those you know, RB ten to fifteen guys. I happen to like a few specific guys I've told you about, Hi, Davante Freeman, carry on Johnson, Uh for net I'm a little higher on
than others. Right, Can I get one of those guys? Or am I getting the Antonio Browns? Right? That's my two three kind of pick. And then when I get around four, if I have two running backs, one wide out, I got the wide out. If I have two wide house one running back, I get the running back. The fourth round running back maybe someone like Chris Carson, right, And if I get Chris Qushing, I'm trying to get a shot penny. But anyway, the next phase of the
draft rounds five, six, and seven. Remember at this point I likely have two wideouts, two running backs. I am not drafting a quarterback. I'm showing you how all the stuff I've been talking at about plays out. I've got two and two after four rounds in the rounds five, six, and my goal is to go from two and two to three three and a tight end. That's what I
want after seven rounds. So every pick, pick five, pick six, and pick seven, I'm generally going for who I think is the best value available at RB or wide out, but I'm keeping an eye on the tight end, right, And that's what I've talked about. I'm not gonna wind up with Earth's or Kittle or Kelsey, but look at this, the tight end here that I like, and I've been telling you guys about this. Check this out. O. J.
Howard right now, a DPT. That's round five, Hunter Henry Adp right now, that's round six, right, I think that's round six. Five times twelve is sixty, so we're in round six. Jared Cook, who's a tight end, I'm cool within that area. His ADP though, is eight six, right, so that's like round seven, I believe, yes, right, because seven rounds, seven times twelve is eighty four, so that's
round eight, right. So in those rounds, I'm trying to get my third running back, my third wide out, but I'm keeping an eye on tight end because I don't want to leave round seven. I don't want this tier to vanish on me. If the tier vanishes on you, remember the guy I think I like there is not in jok Wu is not Ebron, But I like Vance McDonald as a guy who could pop that. You can
get after it if the tier vanishes on you. So, now, after seven rounds and you're playing your board the guys you like in those those tiers, right, And I can't tell you exactly like I tell you guys I like better guys I think are undervalue overvalued. You gotta do it yourself. I'm giving you a framework here. After seven rounds, I want three running backs, three wideouts, and my tight end.
The next phase is rounds eight, nine, and ten. In those rounds, I'm trying to get the fourth running back, the fourth wide out, and I start looking at quarterback. This is where I start looking at quarterback. So I'm doing the same exact thing. Get my running back value, my wide receiver value, and I'm keeping like before, I'm just keeping my eye on tight end. Now is when I'm keeping my eye on quarterback. Okay, after seven rounds are done, seven times twelve is eighty four. We're talking
about eighty five. The end of the tenth round is pick one twenty. This is a d P eighty five to one twenty. Drew Brees is a DP is ninety. Jamis Winston's ADP is ninety six. Jared Goff, who by the way, is now we're at QB twelve is a hundred Kyler Murray QB A one oh six, Big Ben QB fourteen at one eleven. What I'm telling you, I'm trying to show you that in this phase of the draft, you're playing in that same area that I've been telling
you about to wait in quarterback. You can get it done in round nine, you know, Jared Goff, Jameis Winston. All right, that's the way I'm looking at it, all right. So so after the tenth round, I got four running backs, I got four wideouts. I have my QB finally, and I have my tight end. Cool most round most drafts are sixteen players. Most standard kind of home leads, you've got sixteen players. Ryan fifteen and sixteen is my defense, my kicker or whatever. If you want to take a
flyer not draft a kicker, that's fine by me. So what you're left with his eleven ten I'm doing the same thing. I may it. Then it depends on league settings. I may get a second tight end. I may get a second quarterback if I need to. And then I'm going with upside. I'm going with flyers, I'm going with rookies. I'm going with handcuffs. That's what I'm doing in eleven through fourteen. I hope that makes sense to people. You say, I love how Todd Gurley is out of everyone's top ten.
That's James Young. Listen, the thing is at that level, James. From my RB one, I need a locked in, loaded workhorse, and I don't know if Todd Gurley is that these days with his arthritic knee. I like him in that second tier, I really do. But I need someone with a more stable floor from my RB one Purpose Lee and like for the same thing. Like Nick Chubb is not in that tier for me because come week nine with Kareem Hunt there is volume goes down for me.
It definitely depends on the formats and all that stuff. Strong style saying Howard, Henry Ingram Cook, McDonald and Joku. I think McDonald and Joke are a little bit below that. But I like these tight ends and that's where I'm playing in round six. Let's say, all right, so here's what we gotta do. Let's see how this applies. We talked,
We talked Colts, Jaguars. Right on the other side of the break, we're gonna dig in a little bit to the Texans and the Titans, and we are going to outline the updates for the first ever and first annual god willing right, dilly uh Stats Overbeats League. Well, when we come back, we'll start talking about that. Then we'll do Texans, will do Titans. The phone lines will be open as well. If you want to hollow at the spitting statistician, number to call is eight four four eight
four three six eight seven nine. And let me tell you something. If you're real deal Stats over Beats and you know about the Fantasy Sports Network, when we come down to talking about the Houston Texans, you should be able to tell me who my diamond is, who my
food gaze he is. You know it, damn well, if you've been listening to me over the last couple of weeks because someone on the Houston Texans sucks and someone I've been hyping for years, come on back on the other side, of break, we talk Texans, Titans, and the stats overbeat league.

James Young, who seems to be maybe a new member to the Cipher, is saying, someone explained to me, why re get six games and
Tyree Hill get zero? I feel you, man? I agree? Like, what is how does the NFL determine this? Throw a dart? That's the problem. That's why you need an objective policy. So you could just refer to that, because I'm gonna tell you I think the NFL is biased towards the Kansas City Chiefs. How's Tyreek get zero and re get six? It's ridiculous. Frank w asked me in the chat room, if you were in a ten team league, does that
change your draft out of g Yes it does. Okay, if I'm in a ten team league, honestly, I may not draft a quarterback at all, at all. I'm dead serious. If you were in a ten team league, take the top nine. So, Frank, this is an exercise I want you to do. You're in a ten team league, take the top nine quarterbacks on whatever website you're on, right, take the top nine off the board. That's what it would be if every single team in your league drafts
a quarterback first. Now, look at who's still staring there at you. Are you comfortable with those guys? I think you should be? And I think it's fine. That's why if you're in a league like that, I wouldn't even longer until quarterback all right, and big things. We got Larry m in the building, Francisco g strong style, and I see my man Mendel Bruce asking if he missed the info about the league. You No, you did not, Mendo. So let's get into that right now. Okay, I've got
we're teen team league, Danny, Are you with me? Brother, man, let's get into the faint of minority misery because Danny's got to talk through this with us. Danny is in the league as well, Danny Otto. Of course, y'all know him down in the pit of misery. Dilly dilly to him, Danny. So we got fourteen teams in this league. Bro, this is gonna be interesting. Guy. I I've told you in the past, you helped me win championships. Right, My normal
league is eighteen. Yeah, that's stepping up to the big boys. I know. I've never had a league that's been that. You should stretch yourself. Everybody should. That's awesome. So here's the thing, guys, y'all know this. I love the Cipher. Y'all came through as always, and I've got a waiting list. Okay. It's very hard for me to decide who to let in, who to not, who I prioritize. So I had to make some decisions. And if ultimately you don't get in,
it's not that I don't love you. I appreciate the effort. I appreciate the love. You are still stats over beat Cipher. It's hurting me that I have to say no to people. It honestly is. And if you know me, if you've been listening to me, you know I care about this, and I I didn't think we're gonna fill the league. Guys, we fill fourteen teams in like three days, and we got a waiting less. So I appreciate the cipher. Here's the way I'm gonna do it. People. The people who
have reached out to me, I already believe Danny. They sent me their email, and because I talked about it on Monday, they have implicitly agreed to the format half point p PDR, to the entry fee of fifty dollars. I had a lot of people talking about, oh, let's make it a little higher, Oh let's make it a little lower. I can't please everybody. We're gonna say I think fifty is decent. It's enough skin in the game,
but it's not gonna break anybody's back. Hopefully, if you've emailed me, you have implicitly accepted, agreed, and acknowledged that we're playing for fifty dollars ahead half one p PPR. I believe Danny. We're gonna try and do the draft on the evening of Sunday, August seven or eight pm Eastern which is like four or five pm Pacific, because I know we got people like Mendel, Bruce, Jilly Dilley and stuff like that that are on the West coast. Okay, so if you have sent me the email already, you
are implicitly agreeing to all those formats and stuff. Okay. If it's fifty dollars a pop, and it's fourteen teams, that's seven hundred dollars will go like four fifty fifty for the champion, another one fifty for the runner up, another one whatever it is for the regular season champ. That's it. I ain't arguing about any of this. This is what it is. If you're agreeing, you're agreeing. That's it.
All right. Now, here's what I'm gonna do. I am going to send twelve people that have contacted me this weekend or tomorrow. I am going to email you. I am going to email you with my Venmo and my PayPal. Okay, if you send me your fifty dollars. I know, guys, come on, I ain't taking people's money. I ain't you know other people. I know you guys are making the jokes right now. Okay, that's not the six statistician all right. If you send me to your fifty dollars, I will
email the twelve. First twelve, I'll say, here's my venomo, here's my PayPal. If you send me the fifty dollars by next Thursday, you're in. If not, I go to the waiting list. What do you think, Danny, Is that fair? I guess I mean it sounds fair to me. You know, I need people to lock in that there. Listen, I'm gonna be like YO, Sunday, August right, seven pm Eastern, half point PPR, fifty dollar buying. Here's my venmo. If you send me my money, it means you would agree
to the terms and you're in. I'm gonna send it to twelve people. If they all hit me up and confirmed by next Thursday, we're good. If one or two of you don't, I go to the waiting list. That's the way I think I'm gonna go. Okay. And the thing is, honestly, people I don't. I don't want to announce them all right now because some people may not send me the colude. Some people may understand that there's a conflict calendar wise, So I don't want to get
into that. When I have my twelve confirmed members along with me and Danny Otto, we will announce them. They are names that you know, and there are also people that have been my Patreon subscribers for um you know for a minute. UM. What I will say right now, Danny, and I think you like this is that UM in these twelve that I intend to send the info to, we're international, bro, We're international, Danny. We've got not only
the United States represented, but we have two other countries represented. Okay, we have you can guess sure, did I tell you? Then? Don't do that one. Let's put it this way. We have two other countries. Okay, we have another continents, we have another continent represented, bro. So it's big things. The stats over Beats League is international. Remember we had we had servicemen you know, doing this. So that's the way it's gonna go down. I can't negotiate with this. I
can't mess with this. This is the way it is. You're either in or you're out, all right, and and then it's gonna be a lot of fun. We'll do it. Draft date, half point pp are all that good stuff, all right, So let's talk about this, Danny. I got the Houston Texans y'all know it. I see it in the chat room. My diamond and or off for the Houston Texans. This way, y'all know who it is. It's Deontay Foreman. It's Deontay forming. He's another year removed from
that Achilles. I think this could be the year he's worth the flyer, guys. I believe it's valid. It's possible he could be the leading rust from the Houston Texans. Okay, I'm all over Deontay Foreman. You guys know about this. I've always thought he's the better back in Houston. Because why say it with me? Everybody? I see y'all in the chat room. You know what to say, right, um My fol gazy is Lamar Miller? Why say it in the chat room there in his strong style fool gaze,
Lamar Miller sucks shout out to the fantasy executive. You know what I'm talking about? Um So, yeah, Lamar Miller is my my, my fool gazing. Here's the other thing I would say. You know how I keep on telling you that I think people are gonna cut the bills, are gonna cut Lashawn McCoy, how THEO Riddick might get cut? You know all that stuff. J G. I e still out there on the street. If I'm the Houston Texans, I'm playing in that pond. Bro if if if if, if the Bills cut, Lashawn McCoy, come on in, you
know what I mean. And that's still out there as well. That's why I'm a little bit, you know, down, not only on Lamar Miller, but forming as well. That's gonna be my diamond, my foul gaze. You guys know about this, just so you know. I'm a little down on Will Fuller as well. Okay, the injury history is there. Will Fuller best ball one, okay, but I don't think he's necessarily a guy I want to depend on in a week to week basis because he has such peaks and valleys.
And by the way, guys, why didn't you tell me? I told you I was done. The Nationals up seven six. Of of course, the Rockies score two in the bottom of the ninth. They're now up eight seven. I might lose my parlay. I had sures are on the damn mound at home too, but I digress. In any event, That's what I'm looking at this for Tennessee. I'll go with my full gaze right away. People think it's Corey Davis.
I don't you know, he's full gazzy to me, this is this team has Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill as their quarterbacks. I do not have faith in that. Okay, and think about his target share Corey Davis verse this year now coming up, they signed Adam Humphreys in the off season. Remember that they drafted A. J. Brown in the in the in the draft. Remember that, Oh yeah, tried and true tight end Delaney Walker is now back.
My ful gaze is uh Corey Davis. Everyone loves him, The fantasy community so high on him, and I understand that. But there are now other options for the quarterback, whoever that might be, whether it's Mariota or Tannehill. You know, the bus label is coming on Mariota pretty soon, all right, So I think there's more They're not a heard, but there's more options there. So I'm fading Corey Davis. He's not a guy I like. I tell you what I do like, relatively speaking. And it brings us back to
the top of the show. The holdouts, Melvin Gordon, that sort of thing, Michael Tomas, Zeke Elliott, my dimond is Derrick Henry. Let me tell you why. Derrick Henry also in the last year of his rookie contract. You don't hear him negotiating, holding out ultimatums. You know what though, you know what the Tennessee Titans are gonna do. There's no extension there. You know what they're gonna do. They're gonna wear his ass out. They're gonna cheer him up,
spit him out. With Derrick Henry, it was always a volume issue, remember splitting with Dion Lewis that sort of thing. This is the last year of his rookie deal. They are going to use him. The volume will finally be there. I think Derrick Henry is a legit RB two. He should be drafted as such. I have him as like RB fourteen. I think though they are going to feed him this year, you're gonna see him doing the zeke a lot. Okay, So I like that schedule. Ugets listen.
Jacksonville gets to host the Texans that's in London and Week nine to a f C South playing in London already. But Houston also is at New Orleans in Week one on Monday Night football. That seems like a sacrificial lamb position to me, you know what I'm saying. And then I think it's interesting. The NFL doesn't see Tennessee as a sexy team. They have only one standalone game, and it's in the contract. Everybody needs to have a primetime
game at some point in the season. Tennessee is only one of a few teams that only have one, and it's a Thursday night Football Week three at Jacksonville. They just slid them in because they had to do. Arizona only has one spotlight game. Buffalo only has one spotlight game. Miami only has one spotlight game. That'll tell you what the NFL thinks about you know, the buzz the Q
rating of the Tennessee Titans. And I will say this, those Indianapolis Colts, who you know, I am high on the Colts and the Chargers are my a f C Championship game preview and they play each other Week one. The Colts have all their prime time games on the road. I will say this. I told you I think the Colts at minus one forty or a good bet if you'll like Houston go ahead plus three fifty. I actually think them the Indianapolis Colts are an interesting a f
C champion. Bet I saw them. I have them at eight to one. I believe. Listen, they're behind the Patriots, that behind the Chiefs. They're behind the Cleveland Browns. For goodness sake. I like right there at about eight or nine to one. I like the Colts and the Chargers. But in any event, we only got a couple of minutes left. I see in the chat room. Uh strong style is talking about do a live show. Listen, guys, Listen, guys. Um, I'm on in the mornings. I'm on Tuesday and Thursday,
Monday and Thursday nights. I may be even doing stuff, you know, over the weekend. I don't know if I can do extra live shows. We're gonna do it on a Sunday night. We're gonna do the draft. There is Yeah, Diamond is Henry brother Man. Diamond is Henry. I think he's right. Mad Hats has had under first five in that game today. The only play, Um, thanks for showing the good things. But my Colorado, the Colorado Rockies have beaten the Nationals. There goes my money line parlay. But
it is okay because tonight I got some other players. Okay, I like I like Cleveland at minus won thirty on the road. Barry Wilson ge Alito are facing each other Minnesota Chicago. That over under is eight and a half. Those are two good pictures. Maybe they can keep it under. But really, now that I lost my par lay, I'm gonna be looking at Cleveland with plute go against the Kansas City Royals. They throw in Mike Montgomery on the hill. He's got a twenty two e r A. The Cleveland
Indians are playing well. They're closing the gap on Minnesota. I like Cleveland at minus one thirty today on the road. I gotta make that money back because Serzer and the Nationals didn't help me out. I'm still on here in game, live game, Morancy cam Stewart, you'll see me talking Monday. I'll email the twelve the stats over beats League with my info. Hit me up, pay the entry fee. You're in. I got you for sure. We'll talk about it more on Monday.

the Tampa Bay Rays. You know he's innovative. I don't want to say, but he is a dude who's willing to do whatever he has to do with this team, whether it bring in a reliever to start the game. You know, he's been that guy that, hey, these are the guys I have. In order to maximize our potential to win games, I may have to do some stuff that's a little unorthodox. Here. Uh, he did it again
last inning. He brings in a relief picture. He's facing a lineup of the Red Sox that's lefty, righty, lefty, so he brings in a lefty, pitches to the first batter, gets him out. He then goes to the mound and puts at first pace and brings in a right handed pitcher, gets him out. Then he brings the first bit. Now the first baseman, what was back to the pitchers, Mount and Alex Cora and the umpire who was Angel Hernandez, who we know is not exactly the shall we say,
the highest rated umpire in UH in professional baseball. There twenty six minute delay because they couldn't figure out what what where's he going? What's is this legal? Is it not legal? Like? And by the way, this is the third time he's done it this year long. Yeah, I mean it's not like this was new, but I was just blown away twenty six minutes. We can get a fare of foul or an out call right in replay
and what five? Like, how is it that it took twenty six minutes to figure out what was I was blown away in an eight ftting of a one run game, two teams tied battling for a playoff spot, and it took you twenty six minutes to figure out the rule book.
I was blown away by Nane. Yeah. That's interesting because also because I know this has been done before, the question of if this is legal or not has already been settled, Like I've seen it before, and you said it yourself You've done it two other times this year I saw and you know the Tampa Bay raise. They get a lot of this uh experimental entrepreneurial spirit from their former manager Joe Madden. Joe, you know what I mean. Like Madden, it was big on the shift. Had to
be quite honest. When you started bringing this up, I was gonna say, I've seen Joe Madden do this with the Cubs. Okay, but he put the he put the picture of like out in left field. I think if it was a right handed hitter or right field, if it was a left handed hitter, it sounds like Cash is doing and put him in him in first base. But this is a good answer. Remember also show the Independent League doing the robottoms and the stealing first base. They may also start to pilot the idea of relievers
coming in have to have a three batter minimum. That's another one of these pace of play rules that they're looking at to speed it up. And this could be the end around around that. So I like what Tampa does. They are a Petrie Dish of innovation. Yeah, no, they really do. I I gotta give him credit because it's a yeah, and they were big on this to begin with. I love guys and Cash is one of these guys. Don't forget he was a never had big league experience.
This was a minor league manager they ended up bringing up after manage
