The stable Genius and vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Episode number. Oh, I think it is the three hundred and ninety two. Could it be the three hundred and nineties second convening of the Stats Overbeat cipher.

You know how we do it. And we got everybody coming up into the chat room as usual. We got a big show for you as always. Al Right, here's what we're gonna get into. Okay, First of all, I gotta tell you right now, right now, before the line changes anymore, there were games, preseason games about to kick off, okay, and I'm trying to tell you because this Jacksonville Philadelphia game, all right, it started at thirty nine points as a total. I was telling y'all to take the under. It has

moved to thirty five and a half. I just checked it is thirty four and a half. I'm telling y'all, right now, I like the under on this one, and let me explain why if you can still get it in. All right. First of all, the Jacksonville defense is gonna play the entire first half, they say, all right. And also, Philly, you know it ain't Carson Wentz. You know it ain't Nate Sudfeld. Okay, So who do we think is gonna be playing quarterback for a long time? Right, It's gonna

be Cody Kessler and then Thorsen. And on the Jacksonville side, you saw what Mini Shaw and Lee did last week, right when the Ravens shut them out. I'm just saying I know it is coming on soon, but personally, I want to let y'all know I'm leaning under. Hopefully they don't score forty points in like the first quarter when I'm still on air with you guys. Okay, so I

gotta get that out right now. Alright, we're gonna have a good old show as always, And I gotta pull question up that I want to let you guys know about. The question is who should the Cowboys prioritize in their contract talks? Right. We have been talking about this over the last week or two, the idea of the elite running back verse a what i'll call a mid level quarterback, right, um, and what is actually more on the open market. And

so we got that poll question up. We'll talk a little bit about Dallas because there's conflicting reports on if Doc actually wanted forty million or not. We'll talk about that right. Then I will update the news, the notes,

all that stuff. I'll tell you what I'm looking for in these week two preseason games, so you can have your eyes towards the right things to make sure that you can learn in the preseason that you mind for some nuggets in the preseason and are ready to you know, use that knowledge to help you say with me, strong style, win your leagues, and win that cash. So we're gonna get into that for sure. Then on the early week

edition of Freestyle, we talked about the running back tears. Right, I told you who I liked, my diamonds and fool gazes and kind of in yearly rounds. Right as an RB one, as an RB two, today we are going to talk about when the draft is one, and that is getting those tier three and Tier four running backs. I will talk about in those tears who I like, who's a diamond and the rough and who was a fool gazy for you guys to forget about at that level of your draft. Okay, So we'll get you guys

ready to go on the running back situation. And then, as always, people, we will put the fun in functional or it's content here with the stats over beat cipher. I got a lot of stuff to talk to you all about. I don't know if y'all saw that a rod got robbed, all right, so we'll talk about that. I want to consider continue the um I guess, the conspiracy theories what I call the app traps. So we'll talk about that, and then of course, as things go along today, I think the Jets game is gonna kick

off in about twenty minutes. We will you know, we'll check in on that as well. Okay, So that's how we're gonna go. I got the chat room open. As always, we randomize the draft order. We're good to go. On that, I'll preview another draft that I'm gonna be in, another expert draft that I'm gonna be in on Sunday. Some of you may know about this. It's called the G S T League, the Greenwede Street Tavern. A lot of us are in it. I'll be in it with guys

like Adam Roynas. I'll be getting in it with guys like the Closer, Chris Ventra, the BFFs, and some other experts from you know, this entire community and some fans as well. I believe we're doing that on Sunday morning. It's the only problem though, it's like Sunday morning, I like eleven am. I'm gonna have to be drafted. So that means I gotta leave my house a like ten am Sunday, So I gotta manage myself on Saturday night. I guess that's what it means, so that I could

be ready to go. Um, I got all the people here. We got Mendel Bruce in the squad in the middle of the draft. Oh oh, you're in d w G drafting with giants, Mendough. That's what's up. That is them Andy Singleton creation sort of like scott Fish, but like a mini scott Fish drafting with giants. I'm up in there as well, brother man um so By got out to everybody of course, Snore, kel Obs, Jilly Dilley, Rondalrmy Strong Style and the crew. Oh, Christine Wilson as well, Yo,

sports guru. Represent that's the home girl right there as well. So we're gonna put in the phone number eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Later on in the show, we will open up the phone lines as well. Okay, hit me in the YouTube chat, hit me on the phone lines, hit me on Twitter at Spitting Speeds where you can answer the poll. When we come back, I'm gonna talk to you and Ristine Wilson.

I know you like this which Dallas Cowboys should be prioritized, right And also I'm gonna tell you why uh that Dallas uh at Dallas Rams game that's happening on in Hawaii. I'm gonna tell you why that's a game I'm gonna be betting on as well to try to make a couple of extra shekels here in the preseason. I will give you my week two leans, I'll tell you what to look for. We'll update things like everything from Trent

Williams to Jadeveon Clowney to Kenyan Drake. We will talk about all of it and what it means for Fantasy Draft this week. You know that's what we do. We'll we'll check in on the cipher as well. Billy Dilley to everybody, if you want to highlight the pitting statistician Daniel put it in the chat room. We got a big time Fantasy Freestyle episode three hundred ninety to you

Enjoy the show, and thanks for listening. It would be

it would be so nice. Goliday here it is. Y'all know what it is. Y'all know what it is. Gregory Castillo in the chat row masking of Case He's gonna be a committee. That's because Ben is saying Hid might be on the roster bubble in Case. I like Carlos Hide, I'm gonna tell you something that I do not believe. Damien Williams is a three down back. I do not believe Damien Williams is a workhorse who should be drafted as a first round RB one. If I've said it once,

I've said it a million times. And now you see the Case coaching staff starting to warm to the idea of a committee instead of assuming that, you know, uh, all of a sudden, Damian Williams is some kind of bell cow or some kind of workhorse. By the way, Cody Kessler with a nice little scramble, they're already getting into the other side of the territory, Jacksonville territory. So maybe Cody Kesler is about to put it in my eye.

We shall see. I got a question here also from someone in the chat rooms three sixty nine, who I may know, is asking me what round am I taking Levyan Bell. Levian Bell is still the first round pick. People. Levian Bell is a mid first round pick in my opinion. Okay, you got the top four. And I even understand if you don't want to consider Zaze there anymore. Right, so we we go, say Kwan, we go Zeke, we go cemc McCaffrey, we go Kamara. After that, I really believe

the next four, and you could debate the order. I believe the next four include David Johnson, James Conner, Vivian Bell, and Joe Mixon. Remember, I'm taking Zeke Elliott and I'm taking Melvin Gordon out of this for now. So I I think, you know, I think these guys are first round picks free. Uh So there you have it. Um, there you go. All right, let's get on into it. Updates since we last spoke here, since the last convening

of the status over beat cipher. Let me tell you something, people, Kenyan Drake is in a walking boot, all right, and I think this is interesting. Ah, there's the Jacksonville Jaguars forcing me a little turnover potentially. Yeah, keeping it on that under level. I like that. Listen, Kenyan Drake is in a walking boot. But here's the thing. Early on, Jilly Dilley checked the notes. I said, I kind of keeping my eye ies on Kalin Blage as another running

back in Miami. They like his worth ethnic and they're trying to build character. Guys out there, keep an eye on Kalin Blage. He is something more than a kind of like handcuff in Miami. Okay. I think there's a chance that that's gonna be a straight up real deal like split and time share. Okay. And it doesn't help that Kenyan Drake is banged up. Um Many Sanders in Denver Um. They're letting everyone know finally that not only did he have his achilles um issue, he also had

ankle surgery in the off season. And okay, and listen, I've been talking about day Shawn Hamilton's for the better part of two months now, Okay, But the news out there is that hey, man Sanders might be ready for the Week one, Manny Sanders might not be on the puplist. All that I'm telling you, Many Sanders is still a thirty one year old wide receiver coming back off and achilles.

I don't care if he's not pop list, Okay. And what I do know is that new quarterback Joe Flacco is forming chemistry with Sutton and with day Shawn, not as much with Manny Sanders. Who can't get in as much work. I maintain even if Mandy Sanders is more healthy or faster along or further along, I maintain I would fade Manny Sanders and the Cortland Sutton and or day Shawn Hamilton's instead. Um. Another piece of news here, there's this idea of the Texans and if they're gonna

move to Daveon Clowney or not. And listen, it looks like they might. Okay, I've heard buzz on Miami, I've heard buzz on Baltimore. We shall see. But remember, I think they are going to move Clowney, all right. I think he has a better chance of getting traded than Zeke Elliott, than Melvin Gordon, maybe a similar level as Trent Williams. A lot of buzz that they make get traded for each other. That's some kind of like Madden Fantasy Football kind of thing. I don't know that that

will actually help, but watch that. I don't think that the Texans want to invest as much money in the defensive line position. And they already got a guy named J. J. Watt there, so we knew this already. But I think, um in essence that uh Clowney is going to be moved, and that is going to change the dynamic of the defenses out there. So keep an eye out on that. I'll also tell you listen, Trent Williams, he ain't coming back, okay, And if Washington is gonna not, you know, move him,

then they're just gonna have to eat it. It's that medical mistrust issue, remember about the tum where he had or whatever. But the thing for me is that this will hurt the development of Dwayne Haskins if they put him in there and instead of an all pro left tackle to protect his blind side, it's something else. Right. They signed Donald Penn, they have oh my god, Eric Flowers, who's nothing more than a traffic own if you ask me. Alright,

So keep an eye out on that. But right now, I'm gonna tell you I think the Washington quarterback that's starting Week one, it looks like case Keenum has a little bit of a leg up on McCoy and on Haskins as well. See that Pedro, sparkt Pedro, That's what I'm talking about. Spark it. And then Ben is over here in the chat room saying, uh, load up on Ekeler in your draft. When we get into my running back tears. You may hear the name Austin Ekeler. Anybody that saw me in the pit pit a misery staff

league saw that I got Austin Ekeler. I have Austin Ekeler in the Flex League of experts as well. And here's the basic thing. Last year, if you drafted James Conner, you probably drafted him in like the eighth, ninth, tenth round or later. And guess what you got an RB one out of the deal. Like that one you your league. That is the kind of upside a guy like Austin Ekeler has right now he could you're gonna draft. Mean what I've drafted in around like six or seven as

my third running back. He has the potential to win people leaves. We'll get into that a little bit later on. Absolutely I like that Ben is saying that. But here's the thing. The biggest injury now and I've gotta read, I gotta read, decide and some things, because as you guys know, I love the Indianapolis Colts this year. I love him from this year. But u is Andrew luck thing is really bothering me. Um In the last like week, we've heard you know, everything from it's a calf to

a little bone thing to an ankle thing. And and the fact that they don't know what the hell this is after like three months. This thing happened in April. Okay, that's the thing that that bothers me, that they haven't ruled out surgery yet yet. That bothers me. Okay. And and and here's the thing. Uh, you know, we love Mende Bruce. Mendol Bruce is part of the cipher. Obviously, Dilly dilly to Mendo. I know he's watching right now. Mendo hit me up with a tweet, Danny, can we

put that tweet up? Brother? Let's put that tweet up, all right? If we can do that. Um, And this is is what Mendez says, all right, Mendel Bruce says, let's get that, Danny. It's hard because you know, I'm I'm actually staring at a different TV to read that, which is hysterical. Mende says. They didn't say bone, Bruce, they said bone thing, myostitis ossifacas, whatever that is. Mende correct me on my pronunciation. Makes all three of these

things potentially true. It's a bone that forms at the site and then causes pain, but then we'll go away on its own. Okay, that's what they are saying. And Mendo, you know the degree that Mendel has. I don't know, but I'll trust you could be the official doctor I guess of the stats overbeat Cipher. So Mendel, Bruce says, it could be that. Mendo. I love you, bro, but check this out. I needed you at a different time in my life because here's what I want to show you, Mendel.

I have this exact thing, Mendo, what you're talking about. I have had two A c L surgeries myself, Mendo and everybody else, and I had some myosisitiss, I'll see the CON's whatever you just said that Andrew Luck might have. Danny put it up. Put up that picture, brother, Yep, that is my knee, Mendough, Bruce and everybody else. That is my knee by A c L surgeries. I have a screw in it. And then you see that little piece that's floating around over there, Mendo and everybody else,

that's my myosis. Whatever it is. You can take that off the screen, Danny, And because I don't need everybody seeing my my damn m R I and X ray and stuff. You know, But I can tell you, Mendough when you say they usually go away on their own. Mine didn't. Mine just calcified and is there and locked in. Uh so maybe that happens with Andrew luck also, I don't know, but the fact that this hasn't been like diagnosed and identified yet means they haven't even really started

a course of treatment with it. Okay. I think Jacoby Brissette is serviceable for a few games, but this is the one that gives me absolute concern because I think the Colts have more to lose than a lot other teams out there, all right, So keep an eye out on those things. Just to get you updated. I already told you that, Um I'm liking this h under in this Jacksonville Philly game. Another game that I want to see, it's the one that's gonna start in about ten minutes,

and this Jets and Falcons game. Let me tell you something this Two things to look for, okay. One is I want to see what the back end of the Jets secondary looks like, alright, because this is a team that has Tremaine Johnson, but he's banged up and doesn't

have much at the other cornerback spot. All right. I know we're not gonna see Julio Jones and Matt Ryan for long and stuff like that, but regardless, the Atlanta Falcons have the ability to test the secondary of the Jets, and I want to see what happens there before I roll with the Jets moving on and whether as a defensive streaming or whether they are a plus matchup for

other people. I got a couple of other games. I want to tell you the other thing I'm looking for in Atlanta why I'm betting the Rams Cowboys game, Cincinnati, Washington, Oakland, Arizona. We got a couple of leans on those games, and then we will dive into the running back tears. And if you want to holler at the spitting statistician, you absolutely can. The number of call is at eight four

four eight four three six eight seven nine. If you want to holler us spitting statistician, come on by dilly dilly, Yeah, Earnest, that was Miamie. I swear to guy from the NFL to the NBA.

Bet dot com slash grid and to the promo code grid and get your two risk free bets up to one thousand dollars. Today we got the stats over beat Cipher. In here, Jeremy McMahon is already saying that beer is already almost empty. Bro,

it's August. I'm thirsty. I was sweating what you want from me? Snorek A Loop says Luck is most likely gonna miss week one, and this is the thing. I agree with you at this point. But I'm worried because I don't trust the damn Colts. Okay, we we saw this two years ago. They were like, yeah, he's all right, he's throwing many footballs. Now, it'll be fine. And then it turned into the whole season. All right, So this gives me great concern. And yes, I would bump Andrew

Luck down. I would bump most of them down. I do think t Y Hilton is less affected because I think he could perform with any quarterback these days, and he's had um Jacoby Brissette now for a while. Okay, listen, um this Dallas Rams game. I know we got Christine Wilson. I know she's a Dallas fan for sure. And here's the way I think this is gonna go down. People. First of all, you know we ain't seen Girley in golf.

McVeigh already has said this is a guy who last year they didn't even play like their starters in that third reseason game when you're supposed to do the dress rehearsal. Okay, so the Rams are not, um, you know, bringing their big boys. I even heard today that Girlie made not even make the flight to Hawaii. Okay, remember how I

talk about travel stuff west to east, east to west. Well, if you play a late game going east western, now, for both of these teams who are training in California, it's going further west to get to Hawaii, right, So I don't like that for both teams. But here's what I think is the key. I don't think the Rams will have their studs. I don't think the Cowboys will have their studs right this game. Also, by the way, the total for this game opened at forty three and

a half. I checked it this morning, it was forty one and a half. It's all the way down to forty. I like the under on this one. But let me tell you why I believe that. You know, let's say Austin Ekeler and Jackson have incredible games for the Chargers. That means Melvin Gordon loses leverage. Right, Let's say Cowboys running back I don't care who they are have a great game. I mean Zeke might lose a little bit of leverage because it's like Cowboys could be up. We

got the next man up. We are right. Even though whether or not I agree with that, I actually believe, I actually believe, to be quite honest, that the Cowboys may scheme it up so that they are running the ball more. They may scheme it up to try to make it look like one of their running backs are performing really well, to try to gain leverage. I know that's some conspiracy theory nonsense, but I don't think it's off base. You run the ball a lot in preseason anyway.

I think they're going to try and specifically scheme to make one of these running backs look really good. And you know what, happens when you run the ball a lot, the clock runs a lot. You know what happens when the Rams don't have their studs. They don't score as much. I like the under on this game, and Vegas must like it as well. It's gone from forty three and a half to forty. I got it at forty three and a half. I encourage you to continue to consider it even at forty and a half or at forty

all right, And I really believe watch it. I really believe the Cowboys may run more purposefully to make it look like their run game is good, to make it look like they are not over a barrel when it comes to the Zeke elliott Um contract negotiations. And also, I once you guys consider this when when we're saying, like did Dak want forty millions and stuff like that, don't forget there's no state tax in the state of Texas, Okay. And I think that's important because, like, listen, in New York,

there's like eight percent tax. You know what eight percent is on thirty million dollars of that is three million, alright, so eight percent two and a half million or something like that. That's real that you would be losing in taxes, but not because of doublets. It's almost like an added bonus that you get, all right, So he needs to consider that. And the other thing is like the value of him, Dak Prescott is being that, not just being

a quarterback, being the Cowboys quarterback. Think about all those the yogurt commercials and the state farm commercials. If you're just a decent mid level court back, which what I believe Dac is, and you're on like the Tennessee Titans, you ain't getting spokesman opportunities, but because you've got that star on your helmet, you are. So I think Dac needs to consider his overall um, you know, revenue potential and not only think about it in terms of just

getting forty from the Dallas Cowboys. But I digress. Another thing I'm looking at for this um Falcon's Jets game, which is about to kick off. I'm looking at running backs who are not named DeVonta Freeman for the Falcons, Okay, because I think that's actually an open job there. I don't know that Edo Smith is guaranteed the handcuffed DeVonta Freeman. There's other guys, Kenyan barn or the kid Hill that have been decent, So I want to see if any

of those guys uh shine a lot. Um. Another game that I think is really interesting is Cincinnati and Washington, and I like both rookie quarterbacks. That's right, I said both rookie quarterbacks. Ryan Finley. I've told you this before. He had a good first game. I want to see

if he continues his progression. They're thinking he might be able to be the QB two on this team over Driscal and if that happens, it even further is my narrative that he may be able to get starts in for the red rifle later on in the season, because I do believe it will go left for the Cincinnati Bengals. Okay, keep an eye out on that and what that means for any of your fantasy guys, if you think there maybe a quarterback change throughout um the season for your team.

All right, um, let's get into these running backs. Okay, we talked about tiers one and two on the Monday show. If you wanna um catch up on that, you can always get the podcast on audio Boom. Wherever you get your podcast. You can always get the YouTube stream on YouTube for the previous episodes. I put it on my Twitter at Spitting Speeds, and I put it up on my Patreon for my Patreon subscribers early so they can

get access to it. Um, you know. And remember with Patreon, I guarantee responses to your fantasy questions within twenty four hours. I can't do that for everybody on Twitter, but if you use the hashtag stats over beats, I will try, all right. In the third tier, there are three guys that I really like that I kind of am hoping become my flex running back, my RB three. Here are the three guys I like. Somebody said one already. It's Austin Ekeler. I'm telling you I think he is this

year's James Conner. I like Austin Ekeler. Justin Bruney is saying real hype around Finley. I agree, Justin. I'm telling you the Bengals when they're like three and nine, they're gonna have to try to figure out what they have in Finley. I'm telling you. And that new coach Zach Taylor, you know he wants to work with his guy. Keep an eye on that, Justin. I appreciate that you like that. Yeah, Peace to the Red rifle. We'll see what happens there.

But in any event, um, that's a rowse some RB breakdowns. Yeah for show Lance Davis. Okay, I love Heckler, Okay, absolutely love that. Clark think he is this year's James Conner. I think Eckler has the ability to win people their league this year. And to be quite honest, another reason I like him is because when he was even in there with Melvin Gordon last year, he was one of the rare handcuffs that kind of had like standalone value.

There were weeks even when Melvin Gordon was there that you could start Melvin Gordon and Austin Heckler would still be a viable flex. I am getting shares of Austin Ekeler left, right and center, Okay, and I'm not talking about a dice game. I think Austin Ekeler um is definitely viable in the flex. I've gotten him even in the sixth round. Okay, I don't think that's too early to get him, because there he's in essence maybe like

your third running back potentially, and I love him. Another guy I'm growing on more and more in this level. I like Tevin Coleman. Guys at this level. The Jerick McKinnon injury things still being up in the air helps because instead of a committee of three backs of Coleman, Brita and McKinnon, this McKinnon thing looks like he's fallen by the wayside a little bit. I'm a little worried about him. I don't think he's gotta work his way back. Remember he had a c l last year, all right.

I think also the Niners went out and spent money on Tevin Coleman, follow the money to implement the system that he knows well from being with Shanahan in Atlanta. I think Brita is the two. I think Tevin Coleman could be a top twenty five running back this year. Remember he was like this con best running back off the on the free agent market. I like Tevin Coleman. I think he is going way too late. I can see him creeping into back in Darby To territory, if

you want to know, the gods on his truth. And here's the other guy that I like at this level, the rookie. But it's not the rookie you think y'all are thinking. I might say a rookie for the Chicago Bears. No, I'm saying a rookie for the team that I'm watching the ball right now, and that is the Philadelphia Eagles, and it is Miles Sanders, and that's who just had

the ball. I do believe. Um. I think this. Listen, you got Jordan Howard dare, but Jordan Howard is the plotting in between the tackles back This Peterson offense similar to the Navy offense in Chicago. They're gonna want to throw the baball. I think Miles Sanders may not be great in the first month, but don't get scarred, Okay. I like Miles Sanders, and I think he's got some good elusiveness. He broke a tackle once every six and

a half tackles in college. That's good. He even had more yards last year at Penn Stan Tae Kwon Barkley ever did, Okay, so I would fade Haward. I think Sanders is the fit for this, especially in PPR formats at this level. We've talked about it. I don't like Kenyan Drake. I've been higher on Um. I've been hiring on Kaitlin Blage than most. I don't don't like Kenyan Drake, and the other one is David Montgomery. A lot of people love Montgomery. He's gonna be a hot rookie. A

lot of people like him. I don't like the team. I don't like the running back room. Remember they signed Mike Davis as well, this Tarik Cohen there as well. I think that, honestly, Montgomery is gonna play something of like that Jordan Howard role in that offense last year. And give me the PPR side of a backfield on almost any way, shape or form. The only exception maybe I'd rather Derrick Henry over Dion Lewis, you know what I mean. But I like the PPR side of a

time share. That's why I like Sanders, and that's why I don't like David Montgomery as much. There's some guys in that level I would target Eckler and Coleman and maybe Standers, and then here's some here's some later even on then that some flyers guys that I like. Listen, Guys, I know he didn't have a great rookie season, was a lot of buzz and it was a different rookie on that team. But give me shares of Royce Freeman

this year. Okay, I don't believe in Philip Lindsay to repeat his you know uh storybook rookie year he had the injury. He also has theo Rittic. I know Riddick is out six to eight weeks, but Riddick will compromise that PPR value. Royce Freeman's role stays continuous. Okay, So I really like that. I've talked about Balage. I like Carlos Hide. We've talked about that. Don't sleep on t J Yelden as the PPR side of that time share in Buffalo. Remember, I think Shady McCoy is gonna be gone.

Frank Gore is as an old guy. They drafted the kids singletary to watch Yelden and PPR formats as well. We put the fun and functional sports content when we come back on the other side of the break.

here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Networks. Your boy, Dame Martinez, the spitting Statisticians, Stable Genius and vocal Minority convening the stats over beat Cipher, Dilly Dilly, too bad, There ain't nothing left in my cup. We got some questions in the chat room that I do want to address. From what we're talking about. Justin Bruney says he likes the idea of grabbing Eckler and Jackson back to back. UM,

you know that's interesting. I don't know if I would do that, um, because I think Jackson might be a little too deep. I talked about grabbing things like Moncrief and James Washington, grabbing Marquez Valdis Scanting and Geronimo Allison. I don't know if I do the same thing at the running back level. But that is an interesting idea. Some conversation about Carson and Penny in Seattle. I think this is gonna be like a two third d share to Carson. Um they're talking about they want to get

Carson some more targets. I think that Penny is going to come in and be kind of a viable change of pace. But I think Carson is a back end r B two, a very high flex play, something like running back somewhere between twenty and twenty five in my opinion. We got an update Dr Andrews telling us that Keenan Allen maybe has a mild ankle injury. He's got bad luck that guy, right, but he's got freak accidents like spleens, you know, things of that nature for Keenan Allen. But

we hope he's all right and there's nothing major. And then Robert Bishop has a question for me about the tight end position. Who am I high on? And listen, this week we did running back tears. Next week is wide receivers. The following week we will do tight ends. But listen the top three obviously or Kelsey, Hurts and Kittle. I am personally not winding up with many shares of them because I don't want to pay the premium ice for them. I'm not drafting my tight end in the

first four rounds at least this year. I'm not okay, so I'm not winding up with them that next tier. And that's why I do these things in tears. I find myself winding up with a lot of those guys, okay, and for me, that tier is like, you know, Evan Ingram, Hunter, Henry Um, you know, Jared Cook is in that tier. O J. Howard is in that tier. Those are the four that I think are solidly in that tier for me.

Right after that, you know, it gets a little bit less like the Vance McDonald's, that David and Jocus of the world that you know. After that, I'm winding up with that middle tier. I'm getting that middle tier. I'm getting a Hunter, Henry I'm getting and Evan Ingram, I'm getting a Jared Cook. I'm getting those guys in rounds five, six, and seven. And I really like winding up with Jared Cook in round seven. Okay, If not, then I target um Vance McDonald and I can get that a little

bit later on. Someone in the chat room Dexter Rojas big shout out to Dexter, Rojas says, um, Mark Andrews as well, that's a guy I would target, Dexter, speaking of which, big shout out to him, He asked me about Ronald Jones road Joe. Um, he's not someone I'm drafting early. He's not someone I'm I'm even drafting as a flex play. He's someone I'm looking at at my like RB four level, Okay, And I could see that

happening in like the eighth round as well. I do think that by the end of the season he'll be the starting running back. Peyton Barber is just the guy. Um, but I'm getting plenty of other guys before Ronald Jones. I don't think he really breaks out per se. And remember Bruce Arians there are a past happy offense over there. But I do like him. I do like Ronald Jones a little bit more than most. I think they have restored his confidence and uh, you know, I think he'll

have a better second year. He didn't really do much last year at all. Um, all right, Uh, do me a favorite, Danny? I want to once again so love to the status over beat cipher. Nobody loves their fans and their listeners more than the spitting statistician, and I was I was humble to see Dan if you want to put up the tweet, I got a new follower and that was cool, or like I followed someone you want to put up that that screenshot. There you go, Danny.

This is a big shout out to the Fantasy football kai and said that they appreciate me following them clearly a fan of the Cipher, saying, you and the Cipher have been the key to winning that league in cash you can take it down. So I just want to give a shout out there to the Fantasy football kai um and everybody out there that's part of the status over beat Cipher. It's getting exciting people, you know what I mean. We got more people in the chat room

than usual. Back to like season football people are drafting. We can check the previous episodes I've done divisional previews, positional previews. As we get Lamar Jackson coming on in here with a little bit of Baltimore action here, let's see. I'm gonna tell you right now, Lamar Jackson, he's not holding it and running it in the free season. If you're playing defense against the Ravens in the preseason, like,

go for the running back. Lamar ain't keeping it. Same thing with Kyler Murray that's about to start right Uh, Lamary ain't running preseason Okay, so go for the running back like right now, I'm watching it. Lamar Jackson has about to do a readoption up and he gave the ball away. You don't have to worry about the quarterback in the preseason. But I digress, all right, So Dexter Rojas, that's my answer. And then next week we'll talk wide receivers.

Following week we will talk tight ends. So that you guys are already. UM Justin Bruney says he tweeted some mid round running backs my way this morning. You did. Uh, we'll see, we'll see. Uh. Maybe I have to check it. You know, I do a lot of things. I got another job, bro, I gotta check him. That's why do it on Patreon. I'll guarantee the response hashtags that's overbeat. I guarantee the response all that stuff. And Dexter, you're right.

I've been talking about Robby Anderson. I mentioned Robby Anderson on Monday's edition. Okay, that he's gonna be doing more than just being the one trick pony of a deep threat this year. I like Robbie Anderson as a wide receiver. Three. I believe he's somewhere between twenty five and thirty in my opinion. UM, as a wide receiver three this year in fantasy. I like him at that level. I like, for example, above a guy like say Allen Robinson for

big example. All Right, as you know, though we put the fun and functional sports content, we're gonna open up the phone on lines. Also, if you want to hollow at this bitting statistician and be on air instead of just having me read off it, you know, on a tweet or a chat, holler at me. The number to call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. But Danny, I gotta bring you in for this. Danny. Did you see that Alex Rodriguez of the New York

Yankees was calling a game for ESPN? I think it was in San Francisco. And Danny, do you ever leave any valuables was in your car? Danny? Uh? Not often? Not often, right, because you don't want someone breaking into your car. Like if I got my book bag and I leave it, I don't I put it in the trunk. You know, I'm not leaving like a laptop on a seat or anything like that, right, Danny, Okay, Danny. Alex Rodriguez had his car broken into in the parking lot

for his rental car. They stole a laptop, they stole a digital camera, and they stole some jewelry. Danny. The retail value of what was stolen from the car, Danny was five hundred thousand dollars. Now I ask you, Danny, if you had something worth half a mill, would you leave it on the damn car seat? No? At this point, Like like I was telling you when you were talking to me about this story, this is his own fault. Like, you got something that value, will just bring it in

with you. I'm sure there was plenty of space to leave it inside. You would think so. Right. Oh and by the way, my man Time Montgomery just got in for the j E. T. S Jets. Jets, Jets. I think Time Montgomery is sneaky, by the way, people, because he's gonna be used as a running back, as a receiver if you want to fade Levy on Bell's health. He is the number two for the New York Jets, and Adam Gates is gonna figure out ways to use him.

He just hit a little counterplay to score for the Jets as they go up, uh six, nothing, at least they'll see if they put on the extra point there afterwards. Um, But in any event, Yeah, Danny, I mean, so would you say he's like asking for it. I don't know if he's asking for it, but it's more than that, he's just he did it to himself. Like Bethel Bruce is saying that this is a serious epidemic in San Francisco, that breakings are happening, and that may be true, an epidemic,

though it's just like it happens everywhere. Listen, that may be true, but you brought it upon yourself on some level when you're putting half a million dollars, Like what do you forget blows birthday or something and leave it? Like why don't you just take Why do you have this in a rental car? You better than that, you know what I'm saying, So like maybe common sense. You just saying common and like my mom taught me while in the Bronx, you know, because growing up someone might

break into the car. So you know, we knew, like I got the detachable fake plates so they don't think I got my radio and stuff like that growing up back you know, but what do we do about this? I mean I don't even leave like like I have the adapter for like Bluetooth, so I can can stream my stuff off of my phone. I don't even leave that in Like, That's what I'm saying. So it's like first world problems. But it came back to bite him.

Remember we had that story about Levan Bell had the women that he was with, you know, took him in his apartment also, so you never know, we got Taiwan Johnson in the chat. I'm saying, would I still take Alan? Like now, listen, this injury is really new. I do not have all the details. I don't know how bad it is. But until I hear something that this is like a long injury. Listen, sometimes people have ankle injuries even if it's like two to three weeks. He's still

playing week one. Then we're three weeks still away from week one, so I am not concerned yet. I would draft Keenan Allen. I think Keenan Allen is a second round pick right now. I believe he is a second round kind of wide receiver. Call him to me wide receiver. He is between wide receiver like ten and fourteen for me. I think he's an amazing wide receiver too, and he's a solid back end wide receive either one and yes. Until I hear otherwise, I still would take Keenan allen Um,

who's got better Lettuce, Robby Henderson, Will Fuller. You know, I'm gonna lean to the jet one on that. Also, I'm looking at this Bengals game right now, Cincinnati and Washington. I told you I was watching these quarterbacks, the rookie quarterbacks. Someone asked me about Tyler Boyd um and someone in the chat room was on something like, oh, without a J. Green,

Tyler Boyd is gonna just get all the targets. And that may be true, but I need to make the point that that is could be also an overly simplistic view of it. Okay, because yes, Tyler Boyd without a J. Green will probably get more targets in the same way that people think Juju will get more targets because Antonio Brown isn't there, right, in the same way that if you're like, oh, if Adam Feeling gets hurt, Stefan Diggs gets more targets, right. I understand that, But guess what,

that's only half of the story. That's the part that makes it look good. You're right, justin Bruney, you know what else, then Tyler Boyd gets as the man, Tyler Boyd gets the attention of the defense as the number one wide receiver, so that means possibly people rolling coverage over to you. That means possibly better guys shadowing you potentially. So I would just say that, don't automatically think, oh,

they're gonna get more targets and that's it. Yes, that may be true, but they also get a different level of defensive attention, and that also needs to be considered. All right, So don't only think that, yeah, Lands Davison, Joe Mixon looking good right now. Joe Mixon for me is a back end RB one. Um. I like Joe Mixon in the first round. To be quite honest. If I'm in the back of the first round and Joe Mixing is there and there at me, yes, I would take him. I already told you guys, he for me

is in that second group of four. For me, that is David Johnson, Levy On Bell, James Conner, and Joe Mixon. Alright, So absolutely, um so, No I, UM, I would not necessarily automatically think Tyler Boyd will continue his ascend because of Noay j Green, all right, And I do think that that point does need to be made all right, Um, Danny, we only got like what two more minutes left, so I wanted to talk to you again about this, um this face app thing where we're getting pictures taken and

it makes it look old, makes us look old. Everybody in the chat with on Monday was like, Yo, I'm with Speeds. They're getting our facial recognition data. I think this is a problem. Danny, talk me off the ledge. I mean, I'm not gonna talk you with I'm not on the opposite side of this one. Alright, fair enough, Hey, do we have enough time for the call, Danny, Let's do it. Jacob and Vegas lets so let's put him in first call here to day. Let's get it in, Jacob.

We are up against it. I only got like a minute, but you know, Dilley, Dilley, Jacob, what's going on? Brother? Man? All right, man, I'm in at half point. Pr Yeah, it's a it's a keeper league. So I was wondering if you think it's better to keep Woods in the fifth round or Tyre you kill in the first round. Oh um, I like Tyreek Hill better than Robert will Woods. But the positional value is crazy because so the way you gotta think about it, and ultimately if we could

get caught off, my answer is Robert Woods in the fifth. Okay, Jacob, because you're gonna then get your first round pick, right, so you gotta look at it as like comprehensively. Do I get my first round pick and Robert Woods in the fifth or Tyree Hill and my fifth round pick. I would lean Robert Woods in the fifth. Thank you Jacob for making the call here. By the way, when I come back on Monday, that phone lines they better be on and popping. I got the Greenwich Street Tavern

League draft. On Sunday, I'll show you how those teams broke out, will do a little dissection of my strategy. The phone lines will be open, and we will look at tears at the wide receiver position. By the way, it's only six nothing Eagles so far and a full quarter has been played. They are pacing to the under people, and it's only more and more scrubs from here. I

hope you'll listen to the spitting statistician. I stick around for in Game Live with Gabe Moranty and the crew, and you'll see me on Monday as we reconvene the stats overbeats for I bet a holler.

We've taken a look here at some of these games tonight Thursday night, exciting stuff, and I think, Dann, what we'll do is and we've told people listen, you are going to get We told you earlier in the week one of the one of the games that we saw the craziest action come in early was on that Dallas Rams game over the weekend on Saturday night in Hawaii. And you know, we told you you're looking at a five and a half six point swing there between the Rams being favorite to minus three to all of a

sudden Dallas being favorite and by minus three. And we told you our thought process there was people realize Dallas is going to have to figure out who to how that running back is going to be a Z Gains showing up. So there's probably going to be an opportunity there where we know the Rams ain't playing an amorite brisking injury with anybody. So while other teams we'll see you'll start to see some of the starters, you ain't seeing any starters once again with the Rams. So uh,

it makes sense. And and don't forget most of the people, the majority of the people bending our sharps are professional betters, big money guys. So that means when the line swings, you know, five six points, it's not because the public is backing anybody. And I think that tonight we've got two of those situations where we've seen the line move

significantly on two games. And the first game that that we saw it happened on was the Eagles in Jacksonville tonight, all right, and the Jags I believe are currently minus three, I think two and a half three. The over under is where the most line movement has come. This game opened up at minus thirty nine. I'm sorry to total opened up at thirty nine, thirty nine and a half. It's down thirty four what he got thirty five and yeah,

thirty four and a half in some books. So we are starting to see a lot of the totals we told you last week we watched totals range anywhere from thirty one to thirty eight and the overs went nine seven and one last week. This week we're seeing anything from this game thirty four and a half thirty five to as high as forty six and a half. And the lowest game this one right here, the Jags versus Philadelphia. Now, what we do know is that uh, Nick Foles, he

ain't playing, like like he ain't going anywhere. And don't forget Jacksonville got shut out by Baltimore last week. Um so yeah, that that didn't work out all that well. But there is not gonna be any Nick Foles. He's not gonna be playing, So we are gonna have to deal with a lot of the back up situations. No Carson Wentz, no Nick Vaul, We're not gonna see any

of that. Good stuff. No revenge here, but what we are going to get is probably a whole lot more defense between these two teams and not a lot of offense. So I understand the move. You've got a team that got listen decimated. Their backup quarterback there in Philadelphia went down. They're trying to figure out who that next guy up is going to be Jacksonville. Not exactly a wealth of

offense there, so I understand. Be sure to follow all our social media at Evan t s Y sports Net and at Evan t s Y Radio and now I'm tweeting about you, Brad. Fantasy Sports Radio Network News.
