Speaker 1

You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned 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. It should point Dame Martinez a k A. Speeds a k A to Spitting Statistician a k A to stable Genius and vocal minority. And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network,

episode number four hundred and eighteen. It is the four hundred and eighteen convening of the Stats over Beat Cipher where we help you win your league and in that cash, we got a good show for you on a Monday, like we always do. Here's what we're gonna do, all right, I'm gonna get you ready to look back at week eleven, mind for all the nuggets, what it means, what I got right, what I got wrong? If you still need to hit the waiver wire right, and then of course

we will preview Monday Night football. I got a couple of leans. We have some very interesting results in the Stats over Beats league. Uh that I guess I will share UM and uh we have some intriguing Game of Inches nominees already, all right, so we got a lot of stuff to get into UM and we will do so.

Of course, I also got a pull question up and my bol question because you know, last week and this week we started to see that graphic for the playoff picture, you know what I mean, like who's the division leaders? Who the current wild cards? And then you always see that like in the hunt, right, and they list like you know, three or four teams there that are right behind the second wild card. So I want know which are those teams that are quote unquote in the hunt?

Do you have the most faith in? Is it the five and five Steelers, right? Is it the five and five Titans in the NFC? Could it be the six and four Rams even though they are now two games back of you know, Seattle and Minnesota who already have eight wins, or the five and five Eagles, who are even behind the Rams in the NFC, but they have

a path still as the NFC East Division champion. Potentially I know right now there is a tie for the second wild card spot in the a f C between the Raiders, and like, you know, whoever you consider not the division lead in the a f C South, whether that be the Houston Texans or the Indianapolis Colts, both of them I believe sitting at six wins. So I kind of want to know, what do you think? Do you think any of them will kind of get it right and get going, um, you know, to kind of

really make a run here in the playoffs. All Right, we got a lot of news and notes to get to. We usually start with the injury updates, right, so I want to give you the injury updates. Here are the names you are going to needs be paying attention to throughout this week as we get on in two week twelve. First of all, Marlon Mack. It looks like he fractured his hand. People, all right, they're saying it's not season ending, But when they ride off, the bats say it's not

season ending. Guess what. He ain't coming back next week either. Okay, and I do believe correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe they even play Thursday night football next week. Okay, they play very very soon. They do. In fact, they're at Houston in a mirror three days. So we ain't gonna be seeing Marlon Mack. I'll tell you how to adjust for that when we talk about the waiver wires.

Manny Sanders reaggravated his ribs. And here's the thing, just like remember Adam feeling when he was going to give it a go and then realize after like a quarter that he couldn't do it. And since then they've taken a step back and they've held him out of the last one or two games. I do think he'll be back after the bye this week from Minnesota, but that could be the path of Manny Sanders as well. You know, you try to give it a go, then you realize

you're not ready or you're not up. They may take a little bit extra time for him to make sure he's ready. To remember that is a huge piece now of the new San Francisco offense. Audentate got banged up with a head and neck injury. Keep an eye out on him. Although do you really want any Cincinnati Bengal at this point, Probably not because they are blunt guts trash. Philip Doors set with a head injury as well there in New England. Listen to kill Harry Back, right, So

just keep an eye on Philip doors Set. I don't know how viable he is anyway, given the options that are now, they're you know, Harry Back, they got some new and maybe some others will talk about as well. And then the big one to me is Mitchell Robiskie. All right, he's got a hip issue, or so they say. What I asked Joe Vernery this morning on making rain wash is the hip connected to the ego? Because I think he's got a bruised one of those, all right, And I don't know if this hip point is sure.

Maybe he's dealing with something, but you know, this could also be giving him a little bit of cover, a little bit of an excuse. Remember how I say, some lines for people, the injuries are cover for other things. There's a lot of things swirling around Mitchell Trobiskie. All right. Next week, Week twelve will be the last week of byes in the NFL season, Okay, the last time you gotta get through it. And there's some good teams here

in Minnesota, Arizona, Kansas City and the Chargers. Remember Casey and the Charges are playing technically an international game, uh tonight in about an hour down in Mexico City, so they get to buy afterwards. Minnesota and Arizona those are also you know, there's some fantasy goodness in there. So if you have Digs or Dalvin Cook right, or Christian Kirk or Kenyan Drake or some others obviously in Kansas City and the Charges as well, there's some fantasy goodness,

so keep an eye out on that. Um, we're gonna try to find out if Jordan Howard makes it back this week, George Kittle makes it back this week, Matt Brita would make it back this week. But there's one more announcement. Excuse me, but there's one more injury that I think is really important. It didn't happen on an NFL field. It happened on Saturday on a college football field. TA goes down season ending injury for what many people

believed was to presume number one overall pick. So if you were tanking for Toua, uh now you gotta blow for Joe Burrow or you gotta, you know, do something for Justin Herbert because I don't know if you still want to or they are saying, this is the injury Bo Jackson had, all right, and that is very very serious. So you know it really sucks for a guy like toa but you know, I digress. And then there is one more announcement that took place today. A guy at

least plugged that he's going to make an announcement. Danny, play the audio, Okay, Danny's working to play the audio. Play the audio whenever you can, Danny. It is about a player or former player that is going to make a big announcement tomorrow. Now what might that announce Smint b When you hear the player, he might get you going. Danny have as stalled for enough time play the audio?

Apparently we haven't. Apparently we haven't. All right, Well, when we come back from the other side of the break, we will play the audio. But Rob Gronkowski says he has a major announcement that he is going to do on I believe, Danny says on his Instagram live tomorrow at nine am. What could his big announcement be. I'm intrigued. I gotta tell you the truth. I think he's just launching a CBD line. But that's just me in the

chat room. Let me know what you think, and maybe we'll have the audio we come back on the other side of the break, episode four hundred and eighteen of the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back, Dilly Dilly to the crew. NFL season is NOLFNA So you can be on the eighth person to win one million dollars in a Fanuel Draft Kings tournament my sagor lineup using the Daily Order dot Com DFS line of optimizer.

Welcome back Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network episode four hundred and eighteen. Yes, I know what next Monday's episode is. Don't worry about it.

Try and make something happen. UM. A lot of people in the chat room talking about first week replacement running backs at how sometimes they defecate the mattress right Brian Hill be an example. But listen when we do the waiver wires all the time. I tell you, when there's like an obvious one I give you cost and on it. When there was Wayne Galman and everybody was running to the waiver wire, I was like, yeah, I'm not so sure.

When it was Ty Johnson and everybody was running to the waiver wire, I was like, yeah, I kind of think J. D. McKissick is that dude? Right? Um? Now with Brian Hill like and this is a question of options, okay, And sometimes it is the right move to add them to your roster, but then not start them. Okay, that's also an option. So I agree with the people in the chat room. I don't always all of a sudden, that's that recency bias. You think up next man up,

he must be the guy. You need to think a little bit more critically then that in Dexter was asking me. Dexter was asking me about Darius Guys and Josh Jacobs rest of the season. I actually think that's a fine tandem for you moving forward. And uh, I told you last week Dexter that I was on Darius Guys that I thought they would give him a look, and we will talk about that a little bit later on Danny played the audio What's up grad Nation, I have a big announcement to make. I can't wait to drop it

on all y'all this coming Tuesday. It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be wild, it's gonna be a good time. Come check out my Instagram page this Tuesday, nine am. All right, So what do y'all think that is? Danny? Get on the mic for a second, brother, Man, what do I think it is? It could be. I think it's one of three things. Okay, Option one, he's coming back to the Patriots. I don't think that's what's happening. And my reason for this is very simple. Um, if you are, I don't care if you know Kraft and

Brady or lobbying for it, I don't care. If he was coming back to the NFL, he would need to put on thirty pounds like now, and we haven't seen that. So I don't think he's coming back. A lot of people in the chat room was saying he's training to become a w w E wrestler. That's possible. That's possible. But if that was the case, would Gronk release the information or would the w w E release that information and kind of a press release or a press conference

or whatever. I'm not sure. I think he's starting a CBD line. I think he's starting a CBD line or a party cruise or something that is very gronk brand, Okay, and I think it's his own new business interest. I don't think he's coming back into England. But in the chat room, let me know what you think. I've seen everything from the Patriots to w W E tow the CBD line and others. But anyway, let's um, let's talk

about my biggest takeaways from week eleven. As we move on, we'll talk to takeaways, we'll talk about I got right, we'll talk about I got wrong. Then later on in the show we'll spin it forward to week twelve for what you need to know about the waiver wire. First of all, the officiating in San Francisco, Arizona was ridiculous to me. First of all, how do they not replay that last player of the game that like, some people are definitely gonna have game of inches right because you

get the extra San Francisco touchdown. I was facing the forty niners defense in a couple of leagues. I owned the forty nine defense and a couple of leagues. So but what I don't get is like aren't all scoring plays reviewed, Like, don't they have to review you that? And if you did, you would clearly see that a guy like kicked the ball or like pass the ball twenty yards downfield when they were going in the scrum.

It's very crazy to me. And I don't know why there was no extra point after that with no time left. You know, I understand if it's over time, but that was interesting. I think it was a very interesting given the fact that the point spread was like nine and a half ten, ten and a half eleven, and then that made it be exactly ten whof I know some people were kicking themselves. If you lost the ticket or parlay or something like that, that could be a hashtag

game of inches. Send it to your boy. Also, here's what I don't understand though, the other part, and maybe you didn't see this in a week where there were some dramatic pass interferences that were replayed, reviewed and then not given the one on DeAndre Hopkins, to be quite honest, is when the sticks in my mind, the fact that they reviewed and then overturned a call on the field to grant past interference against Richard Sherman. I think it was on Christian Kirk down the sidelines in the end

zone in the first quarter is weird to me. I was starting to accept that while you have this replay, they ain't gonna change anything, right, That's what I thought it was gonna how it goes down. But if you're gonna pick and choose and actually are gonna overturm some this is a big time problem because coaches just don't know what they're working with, and I think that is in fact an issue. We also haven't spoken since the Thursday fight. I do want to give it a little

second on that as a takeaway. Listen, Myles Garrett was completely out of control, but I'm on the camp that Mason Rudolph needs to get some games also, all right, the man did try to pull off Myles Garrett's helmet, which was also not a football play. He then, after it was broken up, went into Mile Garrett's face. When the offensive linemen were trying to like be peacemakers and protect him, he instigated some things. Now, no, it's not

what Myles Garrett did. Myles Garrett was completely over the line, and you know he's being held accountable. But I think Mason Rudolph needs to get it a little bit too. And the other thing I'll say, many people have seen my interview with Lorenz O'Neil where that dude was like on something bro. He was geeked up and was he had excitement passion. People usually say I bring the energy. No, no, no,

Lorenz O'Neil brings the energy. And after that interview, I was saying to my man Joe Vernaria and make it rain. I was like, you know, that's the DNA you need to have to be a football player. That's the kind of like maniac you need to be to have a fifteen year career in the NFL. So don't get it twisted. Okay, we want these Warriors to be like on the edge and geeked up when they're playing. So when something happens like that over the line, don't feign outrage. Don't tell

me about assault and all that stuff. Was it over the line? Yes? Is he being suspended now for the rest of the year and what will ultimately be millions of dollars from his pocket? Yes? And then no, it's not gonna go into next year because the NFL doesn't want this hanging over their head going into like in August. They don't want this as still part of the narrative. He's gonna do his time, he's gonna get his games, he's gonna shut the hell up, and then the league

will move on. Okay, I have seen crazy stuff like this before, stomps on people's faces and melee's and brawls. Okay, let's not go too far. Yes, this was outlandish. Hey, he gets his you know, he gets his penalty, and we move on. That's my thought about it. Also, I gotta tell you the Cap workout. Listen, this is all the charade, This is all drama. The question is does you know this is all c y a in my opinion from the settlement that NFL had to do exactly

what they needed to do bare minimum. Cap still wants to, you know, do his thing for his pr whether it's about the release or the cameras or Nike or whatever it is. Here's what I'm gonna tell you. If any team wanted to sign him, they could have before this week, they could have invited him in all right, I told you what would happen, and I still believe this is now. This is the idea about like your third string quarterback

up against this guy. If you thought that someone was gonna sign him in the next two weeks, you were out of your ever living mind. What this could do is clear the way maybe for a team to put him on a roster in the off season see if he can compete. But it's not gonna be a team like people saying the Jets. It's not gonna be a team like the Jets that have a quarterback. This is gonna be someone that tries to take a chance with him as a bridge quarterback. Maybe draft someone as well.

But at this point it's much ado about nothing. The last thing I will say here before we move on to what we got right what we got wrong? Have you noticed the m v P odds have moved Lamar Jackson now down from plus two sixty to plus one fifty, now the co favorite with Russell Wilson, and after that performance yesterday, Deshaun Watson goes from six to one to ten to one. All right, it's pretty much down to Russ and Lamar. But I did think is interesting. There's

a new choice though for fourth. The fourth choice overall for m v P is now sixteen to one. It's someone we haven't discussed in this vein so far Dak Prescott, and boy, I'll tell you I got this wrong on Dak Prescott. Remember, I've been saying that Doc is one of these guys that doesn't raise all boats, that he needs everything around him. But he is performing at an m v P level. FanDuel has him as the fourth

choice for the NFL MVP Award right now. Maybe he is a little bit more than I gave him credit for, and maybe he does deserve that money. We'll talk about it a little bit more on the other side of the break. If you have questions for me in the chat room, hit me up. We'll open up the phone lines a little bit later on what we do when we come back on the other side of the break, Episode four and eighteen, we talk what did speeds get right?

And there was some things I hope you were listening to, like dfs lineup prop bets because Dane he made some cash this weekend, alright, so hopefully you did too by tailing me. And we will acknowledge what I got wrong. I'm wrong on Dac, maybe I'm wrong on Jamis, Maybe I'm wrong on another team in that division, the NFC South. We'll talk about it and then we'll spend it forward and look to the waiver wire. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on Sports Grid, episode four hundred and eighteen.

Your boy, the spitting Statistician and the stats overbeat Cipher, come on back, Dailly, Dailly, I gotta do some work on his beer. NFL season is now Lupota, so you can be going the eighth person awain one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft Kings tournament my setting their lineup using the Daily Order dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're playing Dailey Fantasy Sports and not using Daily

Order dot Com, you're doing it wrong. Sign him now for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results into Promo Code action first ten percent discount. And that's promo Code Action, first ten percent discount, Daily Order dot Com where millionaires are made. Pitch your freak on, get your freak on. Yeah, a little missy. I thought Mr Elliott was one of the people in the mass Singer, but I was wrong. Let's keep it moving here, episode

four hundred and eighteen of the Fantasy Freestyle. We got a couple of comments in the chat room before we get to that, and we will update it all. I gotta let you know, check it out. If you want to risk free wagers up to a thousand dollars, go to points bet dot com slash grid and open up a points bet sports waging your account and to the promo code grid and you will get to risk free

bets up to a thousand dollars. In addition to traditional betting, points bet also offers its own betting concept where customers are rewarded by how much they win their bet by. So, for example, if you're playing tonight's game and you're betting the Chiefs laying the points, and then the Chiefs win by seventeen let's say over the charges and Philip rivers, you will get seventeen times your steak. That is absolutely bananas.

That is points bet dot com slash grid and to the promo code grid and get your too risk free bets up to a thousand dollars. Today in the chat room, Freddie Martinez talking about Wentz. A lot of people talking about Carson Wentz. Listen, I am okay with riding Carson Wentz. Still he had a bad game a it was against the new England defense. That will happen, right and be I told you listen, no Al Sean Jeffrey right. But and you wouldn't think about this, no Jordan Howard either.

And I remember being on this air last week telling you guys, part of the reason I liked the Eagles was because they discovered their run game. I literally called it the left hand against Bill Belichick. When Bill Belichick makes you play left handed, they would have had a

running game. They didn't have that running game. Miles Sanders, Boston Scott couldn't do squaw dooge right, And so that then forces Carson Wentz into a place where I tell you we don't like them being that volume thrower when everybody knows it all right, So they didn't have in my opinion, Jordan Howard alson Jeffrey, I'd be okay sticking with cars and Wentz. Mr Burns, I understand, which is saying okay. And I think you know, whether it was on prime time or Sunday afternoon, I know it is

a bad look because it was on National TV. Everybody saw it. But I still think the six games is in fact enough because they're gonna also want to move on and not have this bad look, this cloud over their head. Come August of when everybody's excited moving forward. All right, um, what speed's got right? I told you guys what I got right. I told you Indie, Annapolis and Jacksonville will be one on the ground, I said, I know it's Jacobe Brisette and Nick Foles coming back.

I'm more excited to see these running backs and which running back can perform better. That'll be the winning team. And oh what do you know, Marlon Mack and Jonathan Williams. So we'll talk about in a minute. Combined for two five yards on the flip side, four net goes eight for twenty three. Okay, this is the same point. Just like I mentioned with Philadelphia, teams have to show and prove that they are multiple, that they can do it different ways. The Colts have the ability to win via

the past and via the run. I like that they showed their offensive line. They showed that with a guy like Jonathan Williams and that offensive line, they are plugged in play. It could be Mac, it could be Williams. It don't matter, all right. And by the way, remember what I also said that the Colts have been within seven points every game they've played, and I said that

is probably eventually gonna change. Uh yeah, yeah. They ran the ball well, precent didn't have to do jack and they win by twenty What else did Speeds get, right, pork fried Geiss, I told you this was gonna start to be pork fried Geiss time to shine. And he only got fourteen Fantasy points. Okay, twenty four yards on the ground, but another forty five through the air, So that's sixty nine scrimmage yards plus the touchdown, right, so that's twelve point nine. And then if you get the

one reception, that's thirteen point nine. You can't be mad with that getting fourteen points out of a guy that hasn't played. But what I told you and what I was technically right about, and if you listen on Sunday, one of the things I gave out was the Adrian Peterson prop bet under forty five and a half yards, and I said that A, the Jets second ranked deep run defense was strong, and B guys was gonna get a part of that. Now, ap got about twenty five yards,

I do believe. But if you add a PS twenty five and guys is twenty four, you would have been over. I told you, guys, is gonna eat into this and you gotta see what you have in Darius Guys. I think his thing, his expectations continue to grow. So Dexter, when you're talking about you got Brandon Jacobs and Darius Guys rest of the season, I think you are okay, all right, Listen the same as I talked about other ascending young running backs right as the season goes along,

Ronald Jones, Devin Singletary being others. Okay, I'm on, guys, I have been all year. As you guys know. I also in my DFS line up last week in the prop bets I gave out last week, I gave you Josh Jacobs. I said against that Cincinnati run defense, Jacobs was gonna be able to do whatever he needed to do. The over his combined yards prop was a hundred and eight. He went over that by getting a combined hundred twenty

four yards on twenty three carries. Josh Jacobs is now fourth in the NFL with nine twenty three yards on the ground, and he's really third per game because Dalvin cuck who's ahead of him, hasn't had his by yet. Okay, So that's been over eleven games. And let me tell you something, Oakland is legit in the playoff race right now. That's why I did not use them in the poll,

because they are technically right now in the playoffs right now. However, just you guys know of you say the six and four Rams are the team you still have the most faith in. I kind of disagree. I would personally, I'd vote the five and five Eagles. I think they have a path with the NFC East. And I just said Howard out, Jeffrey out. I'm still okay with these Eagles. But anyway, we talked about Josh Jacobs, we talked about

Darius Guys. I was right on that. Oh and by the way, if you telled me last week on Thursday Night Football, you got paid. The biggest things I put out there was the Nick Chubb prop bet over seventy nine and a half yards that hit, and the first half under by the way, that also hit. I went three and oh this week on Patreon, I gave out a four teen teaser this on Sunday morning. So we hit all that all right, But I got some things wrong as well, and I'm man enough to admit it.

I thought Bruce arians was gonna fix James Winston. I really did. I thought Jamis was gonna be more conservative with the ball. I thought he would realize that he needed to take care of it a little bit better. But he has not. Okay, four interceptions yesterday for Jamis one maybe two of them you would say are not like its fault. But I don't know if you saw at the end of the game. At the end of the game, you had Mike Evans like yelling at Jamis Winston,

it's starting to go bad there, all right? And I got that wrong. I thought Jamis would evolve and develop a little bit over time. Because here's the thing, this is the last chance for Jamis. He's on the last year of his rookie deal. He's in the same year as Marcus Mariota, and we know there are going to be a number of quarterbacks out there this offseason kind of on a merry go round, and Jamis's main goal

was to probably be not one of them. But at this point, do you really resigned Jamis to be the guy for you if you're Tampa like I don't, And he had a chance. He had the team behind him, he had Bruce Arians behind him. He has an offensive guy. But he's still still on pace for twenty nine interceptions this year, which would be the most in the NFL since like Brett Farve in two thousand and five. Eli Manning and his bad year in two thousand thirteen only

had twenty seven interceptions. Jamis is now on pace for twenty nine, all right, So I don't care if he's gonna He's also on pace for four thousand, nine hundred and twenty five yards. He's on pace for twenty nine interceptions. So I got that wrong. I thought Bruce arians was gonna get in his ear, you know, spit that good bro talk and be able to quote unquote fix him. And that is not the case, all right. I also, like I said, I may be wrong. Dak Prescott maybe

better than I've given him credit for. I thought he was one of these Tier two quarterbacks who needed everything around him to be perfect. To me, now we may start to have to realize that it is actually Dak raising all boats, okay, da goesty six four hundred and forty four yards, three touchdowns and no picks. They are truly reconstituting the triplets down there. What if I told you that Dak Prescott right now is QB two in Fantasy.

He is behind only Lamar Jackson in terms of Fantasy points this year, more than Russell Wilson, more than DeShawn Watson, more than Kyler Murray. And by the way, this is yet another example of why you can wait to draft quarterbacks. We say it every year. Of these guys Lamar, Dak, Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, Kyler Murray, only Russell and Deshaun Watson were really like top ten quarterbacks going into draft season. Lamar people knew about, but he was not in the

top ten on most draft boards. Dak Prescott was not Kyla Murray. People liked Tim. But you could have drafted. You could have gotten him late, you know. So again, you spent the draft capital if you got Russell, Wilson or Deshaun Watson that school. But if you got like Aaron Rodgers, if you got Matt Ryan, any of these other guys, Patrick Mahomes even, you could have waited for Dak or Lamar or Kyler. Like I say, wait on quarterback, I got Dak wrong. I may have also gotten the

Falcons defense wrong. Alright, I've been saying that I hopped off them. But since the bye, this Falcons defense is has been legit. They made some coaching changes, and I think that actually matters. They have Raheem Morris now who used to be remembered the head coach of Tampa Bay. He's now calling plays there. Listen. In the two weeks since thereby, the Falcons have kept the Saints to nine points in New Orleans, and then yesterday they keep the

Carolina Panthers to three points in Charlotte. And that's no joke. Okay, they got five sacks, they got off the field on third down. Caroline was only two of fourteen in third down conversions. They may now the Atlanta Falcons may now be an option for you streaming defenses. And listen, they got Tampa Bay and Jamis and his four in exceptions next week. I think the Atlanta defense is a very viable stream and I'll tell you they're probably available in

your league. All right, Um, So here's what we're gonna do. We're to come back, We're gonna take the break. What we're gonna do is we are going to look at

the waiver wire. Then we're gonna look at some early game of Inches, and then we're gonna talk about, you know, the stats over Beats League and Monday Night Football, because as you guys in the chat room, we're talking about I was like in almost last place and I played a team that was dominant and in first place, and there is a reason why the projections don't mean a damn thing. We'll come back and talk about it on the other side of the break, Episode four hundred and eighteen,

we talk Waiver Wire, we talk Game of Inches. I give you some leans from Monday Night Football, and yeah, Jilly Dilley, I'm sorry I had to put it on your girl. I'm sorry if I needed to get one win against you. Hey, come on back. NFL season is an alp hada, so you can be on the eighth person to win one million dollars in a Fanuel Draft Kings tournament.

I'm trying to answer people in the

chat room right away. We got some other questions in the chat. You know, don Vito, I like what you're doing, Bro, and you know about the altitude there. I'm on the prop bet you think I'm on. It's a game moreen c special because of where this game is being played. We'll talk about that in a hot second. But I do want to turn the page and look at the waiver wire, okay, because you listen some people. If you got banged doubt and you got week twelve, it's you know,

it's getting serious. If you need to win, I gotta tell you where to go. Okay, So let's look at the running back position. The biggest ad is Jonathan Williams, right because of that Colts game. And I told you Marlon Mack is gonna be out. I told you that offensive line I like and to plug and play. The only thing that gives me concern is you gotta watch Jordan Wilkins because he may be back for Thursday. Okay.

So if you're thinking this is gonna be like all Jonathan Williams all to himself, pump the brakes on that, okay, and you hear the statuh, the stats over beat cipher the chat room. They're like, Brian Hill defecates the mattress. I Johnson defecates the mattress. Wayne Gallman doesn't work. So let's not be so quick, alright. But Jonathan Williams if you need him, if you're a Mac owner, right, like, sure, it's viable Thursday night football. It is this quick turnaround.

But I like that offensive line, and we've seen that the Colts can run the ball, so maybe that's plug and play if you need it. I'm cool with that. Listen, you know the guy like though, that could be next man up. Go look in Detroit for both Scarborough. This dude was a beast in Alabama. He's only one percent owned. He outsnapped Y Johnson and j D mckissic. Right. Here's the thing though, with Jeff driscoll as the quarterback, do

we really know about this? I think Both Scarborough has a chance to be a viable, real part of this offense. But if you're if you're desperate that could be a guy. The Monday night football trick is viable right now for Shady McCoy, who was owned in of leagues. I'm telling you they sent Shady H. McCoy to the doghouse when he fumbled a couple of weeks ago in the third quarter. I don't know how long that's gonna last if you just hopped off of him because of that, and you

see the Damien Williams. Yeah, Damien Wills, but check this out. Damien Willens is banged up also. And what happens when Damian Williams fumbles in like two hours, They'll go right back to Shady. I even heard reports that they were like resting, calling him an inactive or a healthy scratch purposely, and that was like part of a plan to keep him fresh. Who knows, But what I will say is,

don't automatically hop of Shady. You can get him if you want, And wouldn't you like to have the running back of the Kansas City Chiefs if he is in fact the guy come week fourteen fifteen and your fantasy playoffs worth the stash. In my opinion, we just talked Darius Geis. Geys is own and forty seven percent of leagues.

He is going to get more and more opportunity. And if you watch that game against the Jets, and I watched some of it because I am a Jets fan, he looks like he has he's dynamic, he's got some juice, he's got some spunk. All right, they are going to use him. He's only forty seven percent owned. And obviously, listen, Jalen Samuels is out there in a third of leagues

as well. You need to grab him regardless of the Connor thing, because this is gonna be like the fifth week so far this season where James Conner's status is up in the air. Reaggravating the injury is always a potential. If you can roster Samuels, I do it, all right. Let's look to the wide receivers. A few to look at. The first for me is Deebo Samuel. Deebo Samuel is owned and percent of leagues, which means he's not owned

in almost half of them as well. If any Sanders miss his time, this is going to be Deebo Samuel as the top receiving threat. Obviously Kittle is involved as well, He's had eight catches. Deebo Samuel each of his last two games. That's something that can continue, especially if no Manny Sanders. He's worth the add If he's available, he's unknowned and forty percent of leagues so is DeVante Parker.

That's a guy I definitively like. I like him for real, especially with Preston Williams out, especially with Ryan Fitzpatrick as the quarterback. Especially what you think will the game flow b for the Miami Dolphins? All right? And Parker ten targets in each of his last two games, that's opportunity,

that's volume. I'll sign up for that. Go get yourself Devanta Parker if he's available, and like you know, you got a Brandon Cooks or Robert Woods that you don't know about their health or someone else you don't know about their health. All right, I think Devanta Parker is

a great ad um. There's a guy out there that missed the last five games of his team and his team had to buy and I think he will return to his role as pretty much the number one receiver for this team and he's only owned intent of leagues. I'm talking about Sterling Shepherd of the New York Football Giants. Okay, he's missed five. He's gonna be back at the time. For Darius Layton, I think is over Sterling Shepherd coming back. He's only owned in forty percent of leagues. He's worth

the look to see if he's available and can help you. Also, listen, he's owned in seventy percent of leagues. But give me Jamison Crowder if available. Listen, all right. He's had a touchdown and over eighteen Fantasy points in each of his last three games. There is a noticeable difference with him with Sam Donald back. He is the Sam Donald security blanket in the slot. Remember the fourteen catches in week one while he's done work the last three games as well.

So if crowd is available, I like him at the tight end position. Ryan Griffin with the Jets is only owned in three percent of leagues. He's had ten plus points in three of his last four games. If you're desperate, and remember a lot of these big time teams are on buy next week, Kansas City, Oh, Kelsey, the Chargers, No, Henry all Right and others, So you know, keep an eye out on that. Maybe you lost, say In Hooper or some uh you know, and and Austin Hooper may

not be back. Right. Um, you know, if you want to take the flyer on Gronk anticipating whatever he might say tomorrow, I don't find any harm with that. You know, if he if he does, if he announces the CBD line, you pivot to someone else. These guys are all like replacement level, right, Gronk is not. So if you have a chance, hey, it might be worth it. The other guy, I'll tell you, is no offense in Denver, only owned in of leagues. He's got twenty three targets in his

last three games. So that is uh, that's good volume right there. All right, So we'll talk about that. Um, that's an option for you if, for example, you know you have Kelsey, let's say on a bye, you have Hunter Henry on a bye next week. I think no offense is a viable option. Will do more most of the game of inches. Um, we'll do most of the game of inches on Thursday. But I do gotta show you one because listen, last week I showed you the

Chris Venture game of inches. Right where was the Jason Myers And it was the overtime field goal that was just long enough to have him lose by point one. Yeah. Well, I'm in multiple leagues with our guy the closer, Chris Ventra, and in our staff league, the Pit of Misery League. Danny showed what happened to Venture this week in this league. Put it up Venture now, Nope, not that one, the other one. There you go. Oh man, this is the same guy Scott who I showed you last week got

banged out on the Jason Myers overtime field goal. Now this week he loses by point three points. Same guy who has zero out of o j Howard okay, who god? Yeah? Who had Ronald Jones get a touchdown from Peyton Barber instead? Alright, he got lucky. He was facing Connor who got banged out in like the second corner of that game. But that is off hashtag game of interest back to back

for Venture all right. Um, so we don't have a ton of time, and Danny I do want to talk about Monday night football, but people are talking about the stats over Beats League and uh, Danny I croshed Jilly Dilley. I crossed Jilly Dilley this week. And don't get me wrong, Jilly Dilley entered the week at nine and one and in first place. I entered the week at three and seven, okay, and I started Robert Woods, who was ruled inactive about half an hour before the game, and I had enough move,

I had no move to make. But I am up thirty on Jilly Dilley, and I still have Hunter Henry and Nicole Hardman tonight and I'm up thirty Honor. So the lesson here, Danny, is that the projections don't mean squaw douche because the productions didn't know that at an nowhere Calvin Ridley would remember Calvin Ridley things on my roster, right. We didn't know that oh Darius guys would come out

of nowhere and score touchdown. I'm sure Julie Dilley didn't know that Jack Doyle would get squaw douche or Cooper Cup for the second straight week would underperform. So this is not about me tooting my own horn because I'm in twelfth place, all right, and Jilly Dilley, I am going to have to pay palor Venmo Jilly Dilley some money because he is going to wind up in the top two in a playoff team, all right. But even a broken clock is right twice a day alright, so

that is what we see. Hey Danny, you however, uh it looks like you didn't win what could be You're like kind of playoff eliminator on young Conse took you out. Yeah, he slammed me super early, Yeah, super super early in the matchup. I just, I mean, I started everyone I possibly could. Yeah. Here you point like. It wasn't even like I just made bad decisions. It was I just YEA just didn't damn And these things happen. You gotta

ride the wave. I was talking, Uh, I was talking to out boy Yang down there in the pit of misery earlier. He's in our pit league, you know, and he's you know, he's toiling right there in the middle of the league, you know, fighting for a playoff spot, fighting for a playoff spot with me by the way. And he was like, yo, I'll put up a bad week. I had such a bad week. What am I gonna do? And I'm like, yo, sometimes you gotta just ride it. You know. He had a really bad week. But listen,

he has DeShawn Watson as a quarterback. He didn't know DeShawn Watson was gonna get sacked seven times and lose a fumble. You know, he didn't know he got t J. Hawkinson get one catch. He doesn't Tyler boyd one catch. These things sometimes you gotta just ride the wave, you know what I mean. I will say this though, Danny, where's Young CAUs at? When was the last time we

got a Young cas remix? Danny? Yeah, that's weird, Young Cars if you're listening to me, Bro, Unless I get a Young Cause Trop game my Estro's remix sometime soon, we donna have to I don't know, I may have to lock your off or something like that. Bro. You're supposed to be, uh, you know, contributing. And what I will say is, you know, I beat Julie Dilley. There was another matchup, right, Mendo against John g a Danny.

Mendo needs fourteen points still. I mean John g is down by fourteen to Mendo, but he's got Tyreek Hill and Austin Ekeler. I think he'll make it up. Yeah. I don't want to say it's it's over, but you never know. Yeah, I mean we could have first quarter injuries. You never know. But yes, I do think it looks like Mendo and his Foo Gazes will stay in the bottom half of the league. I may move up a little bit with my out of nowhere win against the

Queen Julie Dilley. All Right, Monday night football is about to kick off, and oh, I don't know thirty minutes. Here's how I see this game. All right, this is last chance saloon for the Chargers. I'll tell you that right now. Do I believe Listen, I believe in both of these offenses. I believe in both of these offensive weapons. The thing I do not trust most in this game is the Kansas City defense. But will Philip Rivers be able to like capitalize on it? I'm not sure I

can see the Chargers. Listen, the Charges won an arrowhead like on a Thursday night football. I believe it was last year. These teams are familiar with each other, so I don't know if I'm gonna take a side. Here's where I'm going instead. Okay, I've been in Mexico City. Big shout out to my man El pinch Gringo, my man Dan de FOSSi who's catering all the suites who had events at his spot. I've been to Mexico City.

The altitude is real. People, I have like tried to chase a taxi, you know, for like down a block in Mexico City, and I get, I get, you know, winded. It's real. I think these guys are gonna be sucking wind in the second half. Okay, I also think these fuel conditions are not the best. I'm taking the under on the game. I got it at fifty four and a half. It's now down to fifty two and a half, so some people are agreeing with me. They're supposed to

be weather, rain, thunderstorms. It's gonna be sloppy. That field in a Shakira concert messed it up last year. Mother nature might mess it up this year. I'm on the under. I've also said with the Chargers right that I don't like when Philip Rivers is a volume thrower. I think it's not good for the Chargers. Guess what I think, Patty Mahomes in the Chiefs offense are gonna force Philip Rivers to be a volume thrower today. So give me Philip Rivers over thirty five and a half attempts I

will take. Also, I don't mess with this much, but out altitude that ball flies, I'm gonna channel my inner game Morency and I'm gonna bet the long field goal prop today over forty six and a half yards. In the chat room, don Vito said, Harrison Buttner hit one from seventy one in pregame warmups. That ball will fly in the thin air. Give me over forty six and

a half for the field goal. I'll take yes. Philip Rivers throws an interception at minus one, and I like Austin Ekeler combined rushing and receiving yards over fifty seven and a half. Hope you, you know, get a little bit of extra cash by following me On Thursday, we'll talk about week twelve. Week only two games left in the fantasy regular season is coming down to it. I'm on back to win your leagues and when that cash

I'm out. NFL season is now upon us, so you can be going the eighth person a wain one million dollars in a fandueler Draft Kings tournament.

He's what you missed on Fitnasy Freestyle. I've got a good show for you on a Monday, like we always do his We're gonna do all right. I'm gonna get you ready to look back at week eleven mind for all the nuggets, what it means, what I

got right, what I got wrong? If you still need to hit the waiver wire right, and then of course we will preview Monday night football. I got a couple of leans. We have some very interesting results in the stats over Beats League that I guess I will share. UM and uh, we have some intriguing Game of Inches nominees already, all right, so we got a lot of stuff to get get into UM and we will do so.

Of course, I also got a pull question up and my bolt question because you know, last week and this week we started to see that graphic for the playoff picture, you know what I mean, like who's the division leaders, who the current wild cards? And then you always see that like in the hunt, right, and they list like you know, three or four teams there that are right behind the second wild card because I want to know which are those teams that are quote unquote in the

hunt do you have the most faith in? Is it the five and five Steelers, right? Is it the five and five Titans in the NFC? Could it be the six and four Rams even though they are now two games back of you know, Seattle and Minnesota who already have eight wins, or the five and five Eagles, who are even behind the Rams in the NFC, but they

have a path still as the NFC East Division champion. Potentially, I know right now there is a tie for the second wild card spot in the a f C between the Raiders and like, you know, whoever you consider not the division lead in the a f C South, whether that be the Houston Texans or the Indianapolis Cult, both of them I believe sitting at six wins. So I kind of want to know, what do you think do you think any of them will kind of get it right and get going, um, you know, to kind of

really make a run here in the playoffs. All Right, we got a lot of news and notes to get to. We usually start with the injury updates, right, so I want to give you the injury updates. Here are the names you are going to need to be paying attention to throughout this week as we get on in two week twelve. First of all, Marlon Mack. It looks like he fractured his hand to people. All Right, they're saying it's not season ending. But when they ride off the

bat say it's not season ending, guess what. He ain't coming back next week either. Okay, and I do believe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe they even play Thursday night football next week. Okay, they play very very soon. They do. In fact, they're at Houston in a mirror three days. So we ain't gonna be seeing Marlon Mack. I'll tell you how to adjust for that. When we talk about the waiver wires. Manny Sanders reaggravated

his ribs. And here's the thing, just like remember Adam feelmand when he was going to give it a go and then realize after like a quarter that he couldn't do it. And since then they've taken a step back and they've held him out of the last one or two games. I do think he'll be back after the bye. Be sure to follow all our
