It's your point. Dane Martinez, a k A. Speeds, a k IT spitting Statistician a k A. 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. We've got a good episode for you. My man Danny Otto is down there in the fantasy Pit of misery. I believe we are coming up on episode three hundred and forty four. I want to say, but regardless, it's gonna be good as we get you ready for a week eleven of the NFL and the fantasy football season. So we're gonna do it like we usually do on
a Tuesday. I'm gonna give you the injuries that you need to know about. I'm gonna tell you we're gonna hold ourselves and the status over beat Cipher accountable. We'll talk about what we got right in week ten. Uh, you know, things like, for example, going full chub and things we got wrong in week eleven. My man Mike Blewett knows I thought it might have been a little bit of a trap game for the Saints. I guess
I was wrong on that one. We'll look at all of those things and then we'll go into the waiver wires. We'll go position by position some guys that you can have if you want to help yourself a week eleven and beyond, a lot of people are gonna be in some tight situations. Six teams are on buys, the San Francisco forty Niners, the Cleveland Browns, and the entire a FC East or on a buy so to be honest, like with the Jets, Bills, the Dolphins, the forty Niners,
those four teams. I figured it out this morning, those four teams being on by might be a grand total of like three fantasy starters, like literally on those teams, who might you have on your roster? George Kittle okay, Matt Brita okay, Shady McCoy okay, is there another Jet, Bill, Dolphin or forty Niner that you truly want to have? You wanna tell me, Kenyan Drake, We'll see you want to tell me one of their defenses. But we'll see
what the impact is on the waiver wire. And then a little bit later on the show, we will put the fun in functional sports content as usual as we answer the questions to the stats overbeat Cipher. We talked about Game of Inches and we do a lot of fun. You know what it is already big shout out to everybody. My homegirl, Jilly Dilley already telling me it's episode three forty five. We got strong style in there, We got Jr. Jim Ross getting in there. He's letting everybody know smash
that like button. We only got eleven that's not enough, guys. We gotta get up to it. But let's get into the poll question and then the show. Alright, my pole question, because you probably have heard by now Mr Bell did not walk into that building and it's after four pm on November. So what does that mean. It means that you can drop him in Redraft leagus Um Levin and Bell will not play in two thousand and eighteen. He
is sacrificing the fourteen uh plus million. He is, in essence making a bet on himself that he has saved a year of wear and tear on his body and that somebody is gonna still back up the brain struck for him, And honestly, as time went on, more and more I didn't think it was that bad of a move. You know, if you look at thirty two teams in the NFL, what percentage of them do you think has
an injury to their starting running back? Right and leve Bell, in essence wanted nothing to happen in two thou eighteen which could impact his health or his market value. When we hit March of two thousand and nineteen and sitting out so fresh and so clean recording in the studio, playing some pickup basketball was apparently his way to go about it, but it inspired this question for me, Which of these NFL policies is the least clear to you? Is it? What's a damn catch? For years we've been
wondering about that. Is it this year the new hot trot item? What's a tackle? Like? How do you tackle? How much body weight is too much? Or is it the personal conduct policy? You know here on Fantasy Freestyle, spitting statistician has been talking about everything from guys getting suspended multiple games to marijuana, but guys only getting one game for multiple times abusing his wife that seems inconsistent
to me? Is that the least clear policy? Or is it this stuff these contract rules, the franchise tag, the transition tag, the service time that we saw with Levian Bell, that we saw with Kirk Cousins and others over the last couple of years. Let me know what you think. We'll check in on that pole throughout the show. All right, so you know about leve Bell. We gotta talk about some of these injuries since last time we spoke on Thursday, and the big one. Cooper Cup is also done for
the season. He has, in fact torn his a c L. He'll be done for the season for that. You know, real strong offense over there in Los Angeles. To be quite on, it's both offenses in Los Angeles are pretty strong. We'll talk about the next man up in the waiver. Wise, a lot of people are thinking it's Josh Reynolds. I'll let you know if that's where I would go. Also, since we last spoke, the Bengals have five aired their
defensive coordinator, Terrell Austin. Listen, that's kind of a tough assignment. Right. Let's say you are your job was hanging by a thread. Let's say you knew you needed to put up fourth a good performance to save your job. Would you want Drew Brees the New Orleans Saints coming to town to be the team that you had to make a statement against to save your job. It's tough. That is not what uh kind of worked out for Terrell Austin. Hugh Jackson, however,
has been rehired by the Cincinnati Bengals. He was always an offensive guy that calling him kind of quote unquote special assistant to Marvin Lewis. So we'll see how that works out. Other coaching news, a lot of people thought that after that ridiculous dumpster fire that happened that MetLife on Sunday, that Todd Bowles was gonna be on the hot seat. The organization or reports have come out that they will not be making a move in season. I'll tell you this, though, you know Todd Bowles dead man
walking in New York. Cleveland will already be having a new head coach. I think you can go to Tampa with Dirk Cutter, Miami, would Adam Gaze all of these teams. What you need to do, honestly is you have no more options. There's no more so much thing anymore. Is that a defensive mind as a head coach in the NFL. Look at say the Bears with Naggie McVeigh. With the Rams, you need the new hot to trot offensive mind, someone who knows about r P O s and jet sweeps
and and pop passes and that sort of thing. That is the way of the NFL in two thousand eighteen. You either acclimate or you get the hell out of the way. Hopefully the Browns do that to support Baker Mayfield. Hopefully the Jets do that to support Sam Donald, and hopefully the Cardinals do the same. Whether it's Byron left Witch or someone else to support. Josh Rosen out there all right? Um so Cooper Cup, you know he's gone. Martavis Bryant and Jordie Nelson keep an eye out on them.
Could it be someone like Brandon LaFell that fills those shoes. We'll talk about that later. Jachim Grant, he was a flyer on some people's roster. Looks like he may have popped in Achilles. Julian Edelman with a foot injury. They're saying it's not that serious. Remember, the Patriots have a bye this week week go leven. Hopefully that's enough time for Gronk to rest up, for Sony the Stereotype to get up to and for Edelman as well. Marvin Jones
has a knee issue. That's something to keep an eye on, especially as the Detroit Lions have cast um golden tate aside. It looks to me, and I got into this in the morning when my guy Scott Angle, it looks to me that the Lions are um looking to Theo Rittick to fill that void in the short passing game. I wouldn't be surprised, I know, my man Mike Blewet is within range of my voice. We do this a lot
during the week. We look at snap counts. I'd be very interested to see moving forward if the Detroit Lions have plays where theo Ritick and carry On Johnson are both on the field at the same time. I think Riddick is going to be used a lot Allah Golden Tate, so keep an eye out on that. But yes, Marvin Jones has an injury James Conner in the concussion protocol, but remember they had the mini by after their game on Thursdays. Lines are pointing in the right direction for
James Conner. They say he's probably gonna be able to give it a go and get cleared in practice as normal. Will also be keeping our eye on two big time names that have been out that maybe coming back. We gotta check on A. J. Green and the Cincinnati Bengals. And don't forget about the pass rusher on my Los Angeles Chargers, Joey Boza may be coming back. All right, here's what we got right. Here's what we got wrong. By we, I mean speeds and of course, by definition,
the stats overbeat cipher. Listen, I told you about that exact thing that the Lions were gonna use carry On Johnson and Golden Tate, and that Riddick was growing in his potential. He was a waiver wire guy for me going into week ten, and I would say he returned value for you in PPR settings. He had six catches for sixty yards. You gotta like that. At the same time, that does not compromise carry On Johnson. In my mind, carry on On is a weekly RB two, especially this week.
You got six running backs out. You got Breta out, you got Chubb out, you got Crowell out, you got James White and Sony Michelle out. You got you know, Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore out. You got Shady McCoy out. People might have been using Duke Johnson as well. So I think carry On Johnson is easily Why excuse me, a running back to he had fifty one yards on the ground under the thirty eight via the air we're talking about here, eighty nine yards and two touchdowns. That's
an RB two. I'm not worried about Riddick screaming on, you know, horning on in to his opportunity. We had that one right. Another thing I got right. I would telling you guys for a while after this move that Nick Chubb is an RB one, and once again he returned that kind of value for you. You can start Nick Chubb as an RB one moving forward. I guess with the exception of this week because the Browns ain't playing, but you can be confident with that. Okay, full on Chubb.
The man had twenty three touches the man and had two hundred and nine scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, including obviously the ninety two yard big run. We like Nick Chubb will go full Chubb for the rest of the season. I told you about that. Another thing I have been telling you guys about is and I've been arguing with the King Scott Angle about this. He thinks that there's no value to Aaron Jones. I've been saying for a while now. Aaron Jones is a thing. It is real.
You need to start him. What do you do for those of you who did in fact start him? Last week, he returned, Let me do some quick math. A hundred and seventy two yards from scrimmage on eighteen touches, fifteen on the ground, three catches, two touchdowns. This is a team. Let me tell you something. Okay, you talk about the Rams and how explosive they are, well they have good balance. The Chiefs with how explosive they are, well they have good balance. The Saints with how explosive they are, the
Chargers with how explosive they are, they have balance. That is something that say, the Packers don't necessarily have they needed. Aaron Jones is the route to balance for the Packers. He is a real thing. Go get yourself some Aaron Jones. That is real. In my opinion, they need to help out number twelve out there in Green Bay. I told you guys, a lot of people last week we're asking me, oh my god, we gotta go get Dez Bryant. There's someone in my league who spent something like half their
fat budget on Dez Bryant. I was telling you, wait and see on Dez Bryant. The man is not in quote unquote football shape. The man doesn't know the playbook or anything like that. And if you waited and to see on Dez Bryant, then you didn't go ahead and
spend that sab budget. And you may still have a number a number of bucks left because Dez Bryant, we hardly knew you, all right, He went and tore his achilles right away in the first practice he had with the New Orleans Saints, so that you know, I told you guys to wait on him. And even even then, even if you saw a golden Tate on Sunday night, right, they were using him. But not in the shotgun, not in the four minute offense, not when Carson Wentz had
hot routes and kill kill kill going on. Why because he didn't know all of those hot routes. He didn't know all of those answers just yet, so he had to sit and watch when other people knew all the vernacular, all the verbiage, all the language of what they were doing. All right. The other thing I would tell you is, listen.
I talked about how the boxing axiom is, you know, style makes fight, and I said it was very interested to see what wound up happening in the style makes fight of the Washington football team against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We knew Tampa was gonna throw the ball, and they did. Fitz Magic still put up four hundred yards, but still turned the ball over three times as is is want. And then Washington on the other side did the same thing. Alex Smith only a hundred and seventy eight yards and
on the air. But Washington Football team, don't look now, they are six and three and they now have a two game lead on everybody in the n f C East. The last thing I'll tell you is I got that call last Thursday night. Correct, we had the Steelers and we had the over. We liked that Ben Roethlisberger. Don't look now, but he's q BE four in UH in fantasy points in yards and Ben has done it in nine games, whereas Goff and Patty Mahomes has done it in ten. So you gotta keep an eye out for that.
Now here are the things that I was close on in week ten. I told you, I said to everybody who will listen when I did a waivers show in the morning with my guy Mike Blewett, who's likely going to join the show in the next segment. I was talking about some of these PPR backs that were on waivers last week. Duke Johnson, for example, Well he got you a touchdown right, four catches thirty one yards, a touchdown fifteen yards in the ground. So that worked for you if you put him in right. I gave you
THEO Riddick. Six catches for sixty yards. That works. You know. Elijah McGuire was another guy gave you he only had three one in the passing game, but another third party in the run game. So if out of a streaming kind of guy, you got fifty one scrimming yards and you've got three catches eight eight and a half points, you could have done worse. So I was close on that. I'll tell you that, here's what I got wrong. And most shows will not do this. Most shows will not
hold themselves accountable and acknowledge where they were wrong. I was on air last year, Talk not last week, talking to Mike Blewett saying that I thought it was gonna be a trap game for the Saints, saying that I thought that, you know, we're Philly coming to town, just coming off the Rams win. I was like, you know what, this could be a trap game for the Saints. All they did was put the defensive coordinator out of work instead. So I got that one wrong. I acknowledge that. Okay.
What I also like about the Saints is that, honestly, they are known quantities. You know, I talked about the fantasy heard all the time the Saints are not that. You know what you get out of Michael Thomas, you know what you get out of Alvin Kamara. You know that mark Ingram is a step down from that. And then, to be quite honest, you know that there ain't jack else to go around. The Saints put up fifty plus points. I started tray Kwon Smith in the league, unfortunately against
the King's Scott Angle, and he put up a zero. Okay, how does this guy who's supposed to be the number two wide receiver on the Saints when the team scores fifty some odd points get a zero. Maybe I'm just a little piste off because I lost to the King's Scott Angle by twenty some odd points, and I had a zero on tray Kwon Smith. And yeah, I had Allan Robinson on my bench who got thirty plus and would have won me that game. But I digress. I also was telling you and I got this wrong. Okay,
I admit this. I got this wrong. And when we come back, we'll talk about we'll move it forward, we'll talk about the waivers. I may talk about the waivers with a special guest. But the other thing I got wrong. I was saying, Oh, I think the Jets offense will be better with McCown in there. I think they'll throw the ball down field a little bit more and they'll be good to go. Unfortunately, I was wrong on that one as well, But that's okay. We keep right back
at it. Week eleven is on and popping. You got six teams on a by the Browns, the Niners, the entire a f C East. When we come back, I'll tell you about some running backs, some wide receivers that I think you can put in your lineup for Week eleven and beyond and help you win your leagues and win that cash. Will do waivers, and we'll answer questions from the stats over beat cipher from the YouTube chat.

And and by the way, this fine gentleman over here to my left or right, however you're seeing it is my man and co host eight a m. Monday through Friday's sort of FENSIS on f S team A man, Mike Blue, And how you doing today, Mike, I'm sean, Yeah, get into this. I'm dealing with it now, the know with what like, aren't you just kind of like if it
ain't broke, don't fix it. Look, the team's doing fine without him, And it seemed apparent to me, certainly in the last few weeks as they got in this role that they're like, you know what, it's fine if you don't come back. Uh, nobody's going to sit here and tell you that James Conner is the same player that Levy on Bell is. But but maybe they're a better team without him. Yeah, they're certainly going to make that argument. Sure,
they're gonna be able to make that argument. It's definitely an argument long term, because there wasn't gonna be Bell there anyway. It wasn't coming back, right, and we know they wanted to groom Connor anyway. Fantasy owners are happy. I think he's running back three pertainly makes it easier
for the Steelers to cut ties. When you think about, like what if Bell came back for the last six in the playoffs and he was great and fans were like, what do you worry Connor like tours a c L in a playoffs loss or something like that, then then then there would have been some sort of attraction to having him back. Now I think it's over now, I think it's clean. I've said many times I really don't don't blame him for holding out. But as one of my friends texted me just a little while ago, is
it the strangest contract dispute in decades? The fact that he's held out and he won't be playing. I actually don't find to be I find it to be understandable. And also if you're just being a business person about it, you can understand why they didn't offer him the long term contract. But the elements of it along the way we're extremely strange. I mean, the social media parts of
it along the way in essence. But that's the only information we're left to go on other than this last week when we somehow come to find out that everybody, including myself, you were reporting things wrong because he was a free agent this whole time. Now, I you wonder if it's the Steelers floating it out there that the agent didn't know this, or somebody floating out there the
agent didn't know this until just recently. If you, if I had to take a guess, I'd say it seems like maybe another agent helped out a decent Bakari was like, hey, he's a free agent, he doesn't need to come back, and yeah, so let me ask you this. Okay, First of all, my poll question for today was which is the least clear rules in the NFL? Is it what's
a catch? Is it, what's a tackle? Is it the personal conduct policy or is it this stuff the contract the tag rules, because as you said, people were getting it wrong in the reporting of it. We then I asked you about the transition tag, which at one point I thought, oh, maybe the Steelers could really screw it to him and have something like, you know, six million be his salary that they tag him at next year.
But in essence, correct me if I'm wrong, the Steelers could still tag him this year, but it would have reverted to the quarterback money. So that's ridiculous. Right, We're talking like million, and you know, Levion wants to get like a franchise the quarterback, and so if they tagged him even in fact would be so there's it becomes
false prohibitive for the Steelers who tag him again. And so that is Washington could have tapped on the Cousins again, but four point seven million dollars something like that from the Cousins, So uh yeah, they won't do it. It's he's going to be free to go as of whenever the year starts, which is first whatever it is. So um so yeah, so here we are, Well, let's spend
it forward a little bit. Yeah, but as far as the weirdest rules the personal conduct policy, I don't I don't think it's the policy so much that remains confusing, but the punishments that are told out. So I think that's the confusion of the catch. Um, I guess we can say I feel much better. While I still don't know the rule, I feel much better about the way they're calling him now that I did a year ago. What about this tap Being a Steelers fan, obviously I
feel better now. We'll see what happens in week fifteen if they throw it to Jesse James. Well, the roughing the pastors stuff is cooled off a little bit, but that's still confusing to me because I've been a fan of football for whole life, and I don't understand why some of these are penalties. In fact, the Lions player that got kicked out last Yeah night, I know what you're talking about. For the he flicked the guy in
the face. He kind of gave him a little jab, but it was like it was nothing, something that would happen during the course of play. I think it's in the inconsistency with which they apply it, right, like with
the tackle thing and the sack thing. It seems like they were just getting Clay Matthews every week at the beginning of the year, right with the personal conduct policy, you cannot tell me that the case of Josh Brown verse the case of Jamis Winston or Zekiel Elliott is in any way like, how does Zeke Elliott get six? Anderson didn't said, Yeah, So that's what I'm saying. It's the inconsistency there, strong language, absolutely rewarded letter probably you
know that's what I'm saying. I'm saying his language stuff. Yeah, I mean, that's what I'm saying. But it's very inconsistent. So I do think it's very interesting. Thanks to everybody who was voting out there on that. Mike, Let's do what we usually do on a Tuesday show. Let's just talk about a little bit of some waivers, okay, and here's my questions for you, all right, because first of all, you know, you got the Browns, the Niners, and the
entire a f C east On by okay thankfully. I don't know if you've heard this, but the the Jetsambrita Okay, good Win, and I don't know what to do. I'll give you kiddle Embrita Jets, nobody that can really play Dolphins. Dolphins, any weekly starters in that team maybe Drake, Uh, Drake's the only one. Bills, maybe McCoy. That's it. So in these four teams, you have three maybe four weekly bringing them back. I'm just saying he brought them back. I
thought they were. They signed Terrell prior for that week. Who knows what they in my dynasty league, Like five years ago, I drafted Matt Barkley. I was like, he's gonna be a good staff and the long line of USC quarterbacks that have shown no chance. All right, So let's talk about these waivers, right, So with these six teams on buys, some teams coming back, let's uh, let's talk some running back and having a team with Cooper Cup and a J. Green. Yeah, well, you need some
wide receiver helps some of these wide receivers. Of these guys, who would you like to replace them? Josh Reynolds. Okay, so you know what, Let's use Josh Reynolds as the bar because he's the most added player. Right And by the way, the total from Monday Night Football is up to sixty four from Mexico to l A. They some of them may need to take this off the board because listen, I would have you know, I think it was Rams minus two and a half. But now they're
at home. Now, they're in their actual building again, so they need to take that off or I'm gonna take the Rams real quick before I moved to three and a half, you know what I mean. But in any event, yeah, I gotta I gotta show to do mine. I gotta show to get a break on a right. Come on, So Josh Reynolds, is that bar right? And I listen, Josh Reynolds, sure, because you want a piece of that offense, right, But you know Woods, uh, you know, Cooks, Girly, Gerald
Everett for God's six, And I don't know. That's that's that's a good point. It's the one thing that we really have to do. Check now, Josh Reynolds had a good week a couple of weeks ago. But the one thing that has been consistent with the Rams offense not just that they put up a lot of yards and a lot of points, but that it's been a very concentrated offense. It's really only been four players involved in it. Girly and the three wide receivers. Uh. Now we see
Tyler Higbie scores of touchdown the other day. Is Gerald every getting snaps? I want to take a look at what the snapsots have been the last three weeks. Think gets absorbed by woods and cooks or do you think there's enough for someone like like? I think there would be somebody else out there. Kiki Kuti is still out there.
And you know, George Kurtz wrote an article on Rhado Experts about the Bye uh by low Sell high kind of trade article and he mentions Kiki Kuti in there because I think he'll be forgotten about with the addition of to Marius Thomas and the Bye. I think might two weeks before that he was injured, then there's the Bye. There's a number of people have been in that situation. All right. Let me throw out some other names. Jordy Nelson and Martevis Bryant banged up for that dumpster fire
that is the Oakland Raiders. Do you want any piece of Brandon LaFell uh not a not over the names that I just mentioned. Even if Nelson and Brian somebody's got a cash ball. Yeah, I mean, they're not scoring true at all? What you think Josh Reynolds was gonna get into fighting in the locker room. Guys are asking out. Let me ask you this. Let's go to the front of the media, and I mean, it's it's bad out there. But you know we have under tickets on the Raiders.
Yes we do. I mean actually so they are one in nine. Did we just cash? Yeah? Did they have their buy it? I'm just trying to do this math. Now, let's look, have we already cashed? Just getting close? We might have Well, we'll check that in the break. Let me let me bounce some names off you guys. You're looking at that. In Chicago, Anthony Miller has gotten six plus targets four games in a row. Taylor Gabriel has sort of a guy that you were high on, has
sort of faded into the back. It's been a surprise for me, but been Anthony Miller. Would you take Anthony Miller? Who was now owned? So had somebody text me today a similar question, would you take? Who? Do I need a wide receiver coming up for Dudobi's And they sent the screenshot. They sent me a screenshot of who was available, and their top two guys were Sutton and Anthony Miller. And I said I would put in for Anthony Miller right now. But I really want to take a look
at the schedules moving forward on those two players. So I'll take a look at Denver schedule while you bring up Chicago schedules. So Denver schedule here, as they sit at three and six coming off their bye week, They're gonna be at the Chargers, then they play the Steelers, and they're at the Bengals, at the Niners, then play the Browns at the Raiders and the Chargers. So two Chargers matchups, likely with Joey bosat back and mix h. Then you got the Steelers defense playing a lot better.
The Bengals uh first team in NFL history to give up over five under yards of offense three weeks in a row. They fired their decoordinators result of it. You got the Niners, who just gave up twenty seven points to the New York Giants at home. They did that, and then the Browns who not really stopping anybody. I mean, they did a good job against the Falcon's the other day, but that's not Murders roll. I think you could get
some points going there with Courtland Sutton. Chicago is similar for the rest of say the fantasy regular season, which is three games left Minnesota, So you don't love that, right, The Xavier Rhodes and the crew at Detroit at the Giants you think Big Place Sleigh and jenk Uh. Yeah, and these guys are not These guys are not guarding Miller there on, like Allen Robinson's right, So I mean I think it's kind of a toss up. Yeah, it could be you know at Charger, Steelers at Bengals at
forty Niners, Browns at Raiders, kind of like that. That's a that's a nice that's a nice soft landing by them. But it was the playoffs at Biers, Browns at Raiders. That's the Raiders twice in there, No, no, no, no, at Niners, Browns at Raiders, that's the three. I'll take that. That's a better playoff schedule than the Bears, who are the Rams, the Packers and and at San Francisco. Um, so it was close. Let me ask you this though. Here's another guy, um you mentioned Kiki Qt. He was
on my list as well. Check this out though, and you made the point with the boys and stuff. Check your league, okay, because there have been a number of guys who have been dropped that should not be dropped because of the byes. It forces weird decisions at times. I think we talked a week or two ago Larry Fitzgerald was owned in like scent of leagues. Let me
give you two names, okay, in Yahoo formats. These guys are owned in the seventies, so they're worth a check at least the aforementioned Alan Robinson, who hasn't had a few good games he was owned. Go grab Allen Robinson. Here's another name. I mean, how do you feel about Corey Davis also owned? And only seventy pc of leagues give these guys checks? Right, That's what I would say, real quick, Blue, It's I'm not excited about this guy
at all. But I'm just saying my crab Tree is available in a league I'm in, will Need is available. I don't let it either of these There's a chance that Lamar Jackson is throwing them the ball in a week and a half. I agree, but just get just hear me out. Like, if you have a couple of the teams that we just mentioned, I mean the Pats are on by you might have Julian Edelman or Josh Gordon and you need somebody, really sneed. His last game out, he caught seven passes for fifty eight yards. I'm not
excited about it. I'm just saying Anthony Miller is there too, Zay Jones, which they're on a by anyway, but I'm just looking to some other names. David Moore, so it starts to get weak. But you know, we have to keep in mind that some of these guys are there. Keeling Coles, the guy has been dropped everywhere I want, I don't want me neither, But Dnte Moncrieff is the one guy that I do mentioned Donte Moncrieff this morning.
I have Dnte Moncrieff in scott Fish Bowl. Didn't play him the other day, but he's that it's the Colts. Let's ask some questions. We got the status over each side from the YouTube chat. My men Demetrius b Jack Doyle, and Trey Burton the rest of the way. I'd rather have Doyle, but he's got Eric Ebron there to mess with. Also, probably a week three touches. It's probably a week tweks scenario, but I'd rather Jack Doyle. I think Luck has more
eyes for Doyle than Rabinsky has for Burton. I think that's right, and I am more confident that what we've seen out of Luck in the last month is more stable than what we've seen at Trabisky. Trabisky is killing it right, He's QUB seven. But Andrew Luck the three four touchdowns a game. I'll take that to the bank. Yeah, absolutely, so I agree. I agree with him on that. May I see this. Prisma asked me, handcuffed Jalen Jalen Samuel's or Stephen Ridley. I think it's Samuel's who is now
the handcuffed to James Conner Steelers fan. I think it's Samuel's. I'll go with Samuel's as well. Yeah, he's a younger kid, but I mean yeah, I mean, if you're gonna do the handcuff thing, I think you can go with Samuel. Yeah. And by the way, check in Yahoo settings. At least I don't know if you know this. Jalen Samuel's has tight end eligibility. You can see that he's he's sort of it's interesting, so hey, maybe that's way to go.
But I agree, Priism, we agree on um Jaylen Samuel's lands D asked me, would you pick up John Ross, Mohammed Snow or Josh Dotson. That's rough. Hopefully you have better options. It's not for me, So it was like fifth in that pecking order right Ross is intriguing if A. J. Green continues to miss time. He did touchdown yesterday, but Josh Dotson is like the number one receiver in Washington right now. Crowder is never getting back, Chris Thompson's never
getting back more. Harris is a nice little slot guy. But of these three, I think you got the best chance with Josh Dotson. The difficult part of it is that A trust Dotson a little bit more as a player, but that Bengals offense scores a lot more on average in Washington does They're winning sixteen to three games. They're missing three offensive linemen. They're gonna play it so you're
gonna play well. We don't know when though, these toe injuries for the bigger wide receivers, those things linger, it could be a long time. I just think they're gonna play it so close to the vest in Washington, they're gonna try and just ball control it and play good defensive. The defense is pretty good. Their their defensive backfield was miserable for a month. They did give up four hundred yards the other day, but at the same time rapid fire. Here at last two jazzy Ff. Should I pick up
Lamar Jackson? No, No, you don't think his rushing potential alone can be himself in the QB two conversation if he's starting resime. If you're in a two QB league, you always have to take a shot. So if it's a one leg, I'm not expecting to blow the roof off the place. Now. The Jack Doyle question, Doyler the Reverend Superstar, Jimmy Graham Doyle, Yeah, I agree, I agree. I think Jack Doyle guy, even with Ericy Brown going crazy,
Alie Cox is catching touchdowns basketball absolutely. So here's what we're gonna do, because we gotta take a quick break. I'm gonna give out the phone number. Okay, guys, the number to call. You don't know the number. It is three four seven seven six seven six six one four. Again the number call three four seven seven six seven six six one four. When we come back, we're gonna give you some running backs on waivers. Will answer your
phone calls. And if Mike Blewett decides to stick around, we're gonna have to be a guest judge for hashtag Game of Inches. We got some Game of Inches nominees from week ten. I'll give you the premise and we'll let you decide which one is a final ist. Hey, Danny, does that sound good? Are you comfortable? Are you okay with Mike Blueott helping decide Game of Inches winners for week ten? What is this? Normally Danny segment? Normally Danny
four the better. It's all about getting as much information as possible. No collusion, I promise. Here's what we're gonna do, running back waivers Game of Inches nominees, and your phone calls when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle three four seven seven six seven six six one four that's the number to call. And by the way, I'm in the chat room and I got fifty likes right now. By the time I come back, I want to see that up to six p seventy. Can you do that
for me? Lanz Davis, can you do that for me? Strong style? Let's go Fantasy Freestyle Dilly Dilly from the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rohodo dot Com is the place to win millions in daily Fantasy.

Back it's fantasy freestyle right here. Stats over beat cipher. We got the YouTube chat going. We got to spit in statistician my man, Mike blew it. It feels like it feels like it's the morning. It does. I missed you this morning, so I wanted to make sure I came back. You
are missed two in my friend. Trust me that real real quick checking the pole question right now, thirty nine of people are saying, what's the proper tackle? Is the least confusing? Thirty one percent say what's a catch? And then the us. The question I asked was which is the least clear to you? Yeah, so people say what's the tackle is still least clear to them? The one that's the most recent one in the contract rules, the
most recently the recency bias of it all. All right, let's get into these waivers, because listen, I've been telling people we help them win their leagues and win their cash. You could be five and five right now about to make a push, so you need some help here. All right, let me ask you this. I just went five and five in one league, and I'm it's no league that I'm in with you. No, no, that's my that's my worst team. But we're actually ironically tied for first place.
Somehow divisions get set up and now there's like four or five and five teams. All right, so let me say this. I did these waivers in the morning with the King Scott Angle. So I'll give you one guess as to who thinks he who he thinks you need to add at the running back position, Absolutely correct. With shod Penny coming off his hundred eight yards at a touchdown, quick turnaround, maybe Carson it looks like he may be back. But listen, rookie running back second half of the season
start to ascend. I've been talking about Sony, Michelle carry on Johnson, so I'm not mad at him, but of course it was the Seahawks. Question No. Three point? I won my matchups? Uh last week? Last week I was so, you know, one of my good friends. I'm in a long time four teen team dynasty league. Going into that week last week, I was eight and one in first place. I was playing the seven and two second place teams. Going into Sunday night, he still had alson Jeffrey Golden, Tate,
se Kwan Barkley and the forty Niners defense. How many points was he? Now? I was up by like three going into Sunday night and he had those four guys. I had zach Ertz. Yeah, alright, so let's use a shot Penny as the bar. Alright, Um, Doug Martin is owned atent of Leagues. He's a lead running back for the Oakland Raiders. Would you rather have Doug Martin or Rashod Penny? Penny? But he's still with the King Scott Angle. Alright, the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna give more work to Josh Adams,
the kid out of Notre Dame. What do you think? I think? I'm with Josh Adams on this. But you know what, so this is a hard one only because Scott has detailed rightfully. So, though how much the Seahawks are running the ball six of the time, their run past balance is more skewed running than any team in the National Football League. Russell Wilson completed something like fourteen
passes in a recent win. So, I mean, the point about um date, Mike Davis, Chris Carson and Penny is it do you think do you really think they're going to split the ball evenly? And I think we're not going to find out for sure in four and forty eight hours and they play Sunday night, I mean Thursday night with Green Bay, like we're not gonna know. I think you're right, and I think that Penny is likely to ascend over this next month, but I want to
see it Thursday night first. I've seen it with Josh Adams. I've seen him be the lead. I've seen Doug Peterson talk about him. Right. You know what's crazy. I'm looking at a waiver wire in one of my leagues, and it is a league with keeper potential and whoever drafted Penny, so that's viable longer term. I like that one, all right. So I'm gonna ask you about another rookie similar situation as Kiki Qt, a rookie who missed some games his team had a buy. I'm talking about Royce Freeman. Royce
Freeman owned in fifty of leagues. Would you have average shot Penny of Royce Freeman just because of the amount of touches we have seen, even when Freeman has been playing well. I heard Scott's point about Philip Lindsay, and I think he's right in the sense that Lindsay's seeing a variety of touches that's better than Freeman. But I'm just comparing Penny to Freeman on what could be the touches. Carson does complicate it like also, why would they bring
Carson back on a short week? So you have to think of that for this week. Um, it is going to be interesting to see and your I think your point is fair that we don't know exactly what the three backs will look like. But wouldn't you if you're the Seahawks and your Pete Carroll just want to see what you have in Penny here for the last seven weeks. Yes, but as a fantasy owner, I would prioritize Doug Martin or Roy's Freeman and guys where there's like only two
mouths to feed as opposed to the three unknowns. But could I make the argument that even with the two touches that the two guys in the backfield in Denver and the three in Seattle, say all of them are playing, they're still gonna see the same amount of touches. You could make that argument. Um, I don't know I'd buy it, you know, necessarily, Um and Martin, maybe I'd rather have a shard because the Raiders is gonna be down and stuff like that. But Royce Freeman has always intrigued me. Um,
and so I I digress. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna get the phone line right now backs you're talking about, and they're probably gonna see a similar amount of touches. Uh. Seattle has been running the ball more effectively.
So that's why I'm leaning towards Penny. I hear you. Um, you know, I just don't believe when you're hedging right and you're saying, well, what if something happens to Lindsay, then Freeman sees the ball twenty times in this scenario, two guys need to happen if wire in week eleven, right, I'm looking for I think a stable five points. You know, I don't think I need a shot because I'm likely This is just because you know I have Brita on a bye or I have James White on a by.
Most likely there were no huge running back injuries last week, you know what I mean. So if I'm in this situation, it's likely a one week kind of thing in my opinion. So in that scenario, give me the five six points instead. If I could swing with Penny and wind up to one. I do think, though, that you have to still be looking ahead, right We're not. We haven't seen any running back injuries. But when Scott said on a show last week and you heard me, I vehemently objected to what
he said. I understand that he's frustrated with Derrick Henry, but under no circumstances should he have been released by anyone. Dean Lewis is a guy that played thirty eight of a possible nineties six games for the first sixty years
of his career. He's obviously while he has been healthy now for sixteen last year plus ten this year, great run so far, twenty six weeks in a row that he hasn't gotten heard, plus playoff games I would note that he has a major injury injury history, and if he went down and the Titans offense is playing better, finally, I've been waiting for it. Derrick Henry would be would explode on the fantasy scene if anything happened to Deanna Lewis. We haven't spoken this week. Um oh, bad week for me.
Went into uh, you know it on the track. I didn't text you, but I was all over the Packers on Sunday morning. I saw it's completely spaced and the Pats. I was close. I thought I had that over is. You know how in me and Scott's a f C South regular season winch Well, I have the Titans and the Colts and he's on the Jags and the Texans who didn't play. So you know it wasn't night. Now the magic number went down, let's put it that way. I think the magic number was cut in half. But
I digress. We got some callers on the line, but I want to get nine wins. Yeah, and I got ten in the pocket, so we're good to go. Um, first caller out there, Hey, Danny, let's go to Jacob in Vegas first. Jacob is first on the stats over beat Cipher in the Fantasy Freestyle. He knows that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. He knows about the spearmint excuse me, the winter fresh packaderms out there? Shall we say, Jacob? What's going on? My man? You want
the fantasy Freestyle? You know what's going on? Speed you? I'm doing all right? How are you feeling doing good? All right? Um so? Um I I just made a nice trade. I got Robert Woods. Um I gave a Carson Wentz. Okay, who's your on the quarterback? Um? I have Cam Newton and you're fine? Love it, love it? And this is the thing, and do me a favorite, Jacob.
This is a great point once, especially after next week, once we are through the buys, you are casting aside all of your bench players to organize yourself for the playoffs. So you could you could do whatever with that wide receiver five, that running back six, that backup tight end other quarterbacks. So I love what you just did there, Jacob, flipping Wentz and getting a piece Robert Woods, who was only going to grow an opportunity without Cooper cup I
love that, Jacob. What else you got and I'll bring up Yeah, I'll bring up one point to Jacob to ask you other question. I'll give you an anecdote after that. So um r os, I'm having trouble with my slicks between Holiday and t Y Hilton or Dion. I like Dion Lewis. I would Dion Lewis, then Golladay then Hilton for me, Dion Lewis, to Mike's point, has been playing well. He's the lead back in Tennessee. He does work in
the passing game as well. I like Dion Lewis. Second for me, there would be Golladay Jacob because without Golden Kate and now Marvin Jones is also banged up. He's got a knee, so I like Golladay's opportunity as well. I think you're fine with Dion Lewis or Golladay Jacob than anytime brother Man called back, anytime make a point about what you were saying regarding roster when you please,
please do so. A couple of years ago, in one of my leagues, I was in first place and easily had the best team this one particularly year in this league, but I wanted to salted away. This is probably three no, I don't think I did. And this is when Brandon cooks In and Zach Ertz were rookies. So I traded and Zachs as a rookie wasn't that ductive. It was just the thought process that he was going to take
over for Brent Selick. So I traded to Marius Thomas, who was in the throes of a really big season, and I gave away Cooks and Art's. Now both Cooks and Art's had real value as keepers because that was a keeper league. So my point in telling you that is, and by the way, I didn't win the league. Everybody thought like, well, this is kind of ridiculous. He's gonna win now, and I didn't. I got upset in the semis stuff happening. But my point in telling that story is,
don't try to win the trade. Trying to make a fair trade. And you know what happened to the guy that got Cooks and Earth's. He kept them both at big discounts because I had drafted him next to you on the league. There you go, so you just got to be fair about it. Bad breaks happened to me that year, but I was trying to be fair. And I'm not saying you do it for the goodness in your heart. I'm saying that's the way you make legitimate trades. I don't know how he got gave away wins for woods,
but maybe that guy was desperate. Maybe maybe that guy had Tom Brady and and uh you know Nick Mullins Quarterbackeld. That's true. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we're going to Connor. And by the way, Mike, I gotta tell you Connor calls every week. Connor is most points in his league, but it's three and six and has reeled off his name the names of his roster. Connor is deep. Connor. Let's go. We gotta hear from you down in Tampa. How are you doing? Did you get a win? Are
you four and six? Are you back in contention? Connor? What's up? Yeah? I'm four and six. We can make my last rumba, like, tell me well, if you're you're starting line up again from my man, Mike blew it because I I believe this is a team that could be leading in points. This is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got Patty my Home, Sam Barkley, Joe Mixing, Mike Thomas, Corey. It is done. Kenny j All right, sounds like you should be better than three and six. You're four and six.
How can we help you get to keep that? Wind Street going to your playoff contender? What's going on? Connor? So my question is, I'm so apparently may a dude Jared Cook? Should I pick him up in John fasmdoald Jared Cook over Vance McDonald. Listen, here's the thing. I want no part of the Oakland Raiders. I want no part of the Oakland Raiders. Um they are you know, they're not trying. They're worried about their tea times on like January three in the Caribbean somewhere. So no, I
keep vans. He got a touchdown last week. He's still farming the world. Give me Vance McDonald in that, just because I want no part of any Raider right now? Alright, Connor? What else? You got anything else for me? All right? Give me one more brother? One? Yeah, I gotta keep it moving. Did Chris Thompson like, like, can I just drop him before? Um? Like either like Josh Adams or Eliza McGwire or Shot Penny or Anthony Milburgh ump talking
about Josh Adams. Right, it's possible. Listen, you know I understand you being kind of like done with Tom Msen. It's been what a month and a half at this point. Same with like Jamison Crowder there in Washington. I'll tell you though, I was done with Marlon Mack and I'll tell you about that. He's four and six. He can't wait around for Chris Thompson anymore. He needs to win now. So yes, Connor, I am okay with that. Josh Adams can help you, maybe even a lie. Well the Jets
were on by, but Josh Adams could help you. Yes, I would make that move. It is time to cut Chris Thompson because you need to win the next three weeks. Right, Connor called me back on Thursday. I gotta get in another call O'Connor, But thanks for being part of the stats over beat Cipher for the next call. I'm selling Scott Angle in our gs T league. I'm nine and one, he's eight and two. He got me at the right time.
You got some Marvin Jones, A J. Green Cup, I got, I got Frank Gore, Laja McGuire, Corridor All Patterson and George Kittle all on tie. It's all timing our last call on the day. Liz and Callie what's going on, Liz. You're part of the Fantasy Freestyle stats over beat Cipher. We hope you are safe away from those wilds. Yeah, what's going on, Liz? Oh? Yes, yes, I'm okay. I'm okay, but it's pretty close. But I'm okay right now, al right,
glad to hear it. I have three questions are pretty straightforward. One start Big Ben over the Jags. Yeah, I'm okay with it. The Jags are not what they have been and the Steelers are rolling. Yes, I'm okay with you. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Yes, what's question number two? Liz? The second one is dropped MVS forts and seven and this is standard and standard that was scantling a sudden. They're kind of a coin flip to me, um with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I'd rather Aaron Rodgers throwing my guy
the ball than case Keena Randall Cobb throwing up zero. Yeah. So I'll have a slight lean to MVS. But I think it's real close, Liz. But I'm okay with you keeping MVS in that scenario because Alison's on ir Cob, it's catching up with him. So I'm okay with MVS. What's the last one, Liz, Okay, in the last one is defense the best defense to stream? I'm thinking Cardinals or Ravens the best defense to stream this week? You're thinking the Cardinals or the Ravens. Let me bring up
their matchups real quick, Cardinals or the Ravens. Ravens have another a f C North team, right, don't they have? The Ravens have Cincinnati. The Ravens have since Um And the other one you was saying with the Cardinals, right, Arizona has Oakland. Oh, Arizona, Arizona at home against Oakland. That's my answer, all right, absolutely, thanks for giving the call the show. Hey, Danny, we only got a couple of minutes left. Can I get you in here, my man?
So here's what we do, blew it. Every week, these guys send me screenshots of Game of Inches like they're bad beats, horrible losses. Okay, and we've been bouncing them off, Danny. And what I got is my guy, Kenneth Cashman in Rotorwear. They're gonna give a free shirt to the wordst the beat of the season. Right. So here are my nominees for this week, Danny and Mike Blewett we only got a couple of minutes. Um Clayton Trey Hand, good friend of the show, lost by half a point point five.
You know what beat them? I was facing Tom Brady, the catch that Tom Brady had Philly Philly beat beat Clayton Trey Hand. This week they lost by half a point. Could have been a lot, could have been a lot worse for him, all right, David David at Cooper Cup get hurt and got negative seven from the Jets defense. That's tough and only lost by a point. Would have set it, could have put a zero in their defense and would have won. But got negative seven from the
Jets defense. That's a bad one. Right. Oh man, he's given me the music. We got Robert Murphy who lost by point zero eight, grabbed me another main run by point three because they had zach Ertz in that last drive. We'll talk more about it on Thursday. From my man Mike blewotot who. I'll talk to you later on in the week. Stats over beat Cipher, Hippie up at Spitting Speeds on Patreon, all that good stuff, Danny. We'll talk
more about this on Thursday. We'll talk about that week eleven stuff as well defenses stream, I'll see you, then i'm out. Pet
