SpittinSPEEDZ Week 14 Takeaways & Waiver Claims

vocal minority. And welcome to another edition other Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode number four hundred and twenty three. It is the four hundred and twenty three leaning of the stats over Beat Cipher where we help you win your leagues and win that cash, and we try to put a little fun and functional sports content. At the same time. We got a big show for you. Week fourteen of the NFL season is

almost in the books. We got Monday Night Football. We'll talk about that and what looks like it's gonna be taking place from a rainy Philadelphia. And you know what, Danny, it's weird because I thought it was always sunny in Philadelphia. So we gotta figure that one out. But we will do what we usually do here on a Monday, and it's incredibly important because it is playoff time in fantasy football,

all right, and so everything becomes magnified. All the injuries that happened, the game of inches that happened, right, the next man up that happened, this is all magnified now that you are in a must win scenario. Moving forward. Okay, I personally started this season and like I think seven or eight leagues, I was in five playoffs. I still, you know, I'm live in some of them. I had

byes in some of them. I don't like how it went to be quite honest, I have one team that I was all good because I had a by, right, Yeah, that team had Mike Evans on it. That team had DeVante Parker on it. You know what I mean. That team I'm struggling with guys like James Conner on it. So the by did not necessarily help. But we'll get into that. I'm speaking about some of these names. Let's start there. These are the names you need to know next week and watch them because there was a boatload.

It seemed like a mash unit last week, Like there are some weeks when I'm preparing here and we're talking about like the waiver wire, and I'm like, there's not that many places you need to pivot because there weren't too many injuries. I can't say that yesterday, and it seemed like they all happened in the one o'cock games and like bang bang bang, All right, So DeVante Parker he got concussed and left in the second quarter. Remember I've been riding that streak with him, and so have

you if you've been following this been statistician. He got concussed. Darius Guice, you know we loved areus guys? Oh and by the way, I gave out the prop bet on Darius Geice yesterday it was over forty and a half. It went up to forty one and a half. Dude had five carries for forty two yards before he had the knee injury. That's why you got a shop around.

There were some books where you had to get that at forty three, forty four yards and even wind up with forty two before getting banged out with a knee injury, which looks like it's gonna be an issue. Looks like he's gonna miss time. Mike Evans with the hamstring. Bruce Arians came out and said today looks like he's probably gonna be done for the year with only three weeks left. That sucks. Mark Andrews with the knee. They saying he may have avoided serious issues because it may be just

a contusion. Mark Andrew's the great tight end now second year tight end of the Baltimore Ravens. The tight end issues were not done. Jared Cook after catching two first quarter touchdowns, he gets concussed. Vance McDonald, vance and make them dance. He gets concussed. So listen, Andrew's Cook McDonald.

Those are all viable tight ends. So we will tell you later on in the show where to pivot to in the UH in the waiver wires, I got one or two that you could definitely use if you still need that are like less than owned if you still need a tight end. Okay, Audentate alright with an ankle, he's gone both Scarborough got banged up with ribs. Check out for him. Rashad Penny, that's gonna be a problem. He's gone now for Seattle. That means all the Carson,

all the time. Jamis Winston has a fracture in his hand that he's gonna get a second opinion on. Okay, this could be big time issues for the Tampa Bay Bucks. And you wanted shares of Tampa Bay in fantasy right there? The number three scoring offense, Jamie is through for like four fifty something yesterday. Um, Dwayne Haskins with an ankle. Now, if you needed Dwayne Haskins to get you through your

fantasy semifinals, we should have a different conversation. But what about DJ Chark in a walking boot that probably helped hurt a playoff team? What about Calvin Ridley because of his abdomen he's going to I r now out. But about Noah offense with a foot? There's another tight end? All right? These are people that may have been in the starting lineup of teams that finished, you know, in

fourth place or better. We're talking about guys like Parker, like Chark, like Bridley, like Evans and three legit tight ends. This was a mass unit of a day, and of course it happens in a lot of settings. When you can't even make any changes anymore, there's very little for you to be able to do about it. That's why we told you in weeks you know, ten, eleven, and twelve to prepare for this by cutting your wide receiver five and bolstering up the depth in places like this.

And we will tell you as we go on in the show how to respond if you got hurt. But there's also listen listen Odell Beckham. Now you know we're hearing this in Cleveland about did the training staff handle it right? Baker throwing them out over the bus, under of the bus, the medical staff. You know, Odell may not even be in Cleveland next year. But Baker, why do you have to talk about this? You're supposed to be, you know, part of what takes the Browns away from

being a laughing stock. You're talking in g Q, you're talking about other quarterbacks. You're talking about Duke Johnson's contract, you're talking about now, the medical staff, you're talking about your former coach, you Jackson. How about you just shut the hell up, you know, and like just just worry about your division wins you've had over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati recently,

you know what I mean. But that's going on. Oh and late breaking news literally in the last few hours, there was a story out there that apparently there was a videographer filming the Cincinnati Bengals sidelines yesterday, team employee of the New England Patriots, and then they had security ask them and they said, no, no, no, we're just filming for a documentary. Yeah, who did the Patriots playing next week? The Cincinnati Bengals. So I ask you. The

footage they got though, was not like roll. It was of the coaches relaying signals into this play. And you need to do this against the Cincinnati Bengals. That's what it meant when you were onto Cincinnati. They just keep on cheating, y'all. They just keep on cheating, and no wonder because look, they don't have the talent to get it done anymore. I'll talk a little bit more about that on the other side of the break. I do want to let you guys know we gotta pull question

up on Twitter as well. You can always follow me at spitting speeds. I want to know which division now in the NFL are you most interested to see the way it'll play out NFC West with the Seahawks and the Niners, What about the Packers and the Vikings in the North, the a f C South Man Texans, and Titans is gonna be interesting? Or what about the Booby Prize. Someone's got to win the NFC East, Right, which division are you most intriguing? Hit me up on Twitter. We'll

talk about our takeaways. What I got right, what I got wrong. On the other side of the break is fantasy Freestyle up. So four twenty three dosa come all right? Back in sports.

All right, it's a little early jay Z. You know what I'm saying, Danny Otto, we gotta put you onto some early jay Z. But we're back Episode four twenty three of The Fantasy Freestyle, where you win your leagues and win their catch and stats over beat the site. From the chat room, Lance Davis asking a lot of questions. No, I am not worried about Lamar Jackson. Yes, I know if Pork Fried Rice Geys has done and um no Baker has yet to comment on Lizzo's outfit. Um, but

the Rikishi trending is absolutely ridiculous. A propos but absolutely ridiculous. I'm not going to talk about that right now. Ben, I know that you may miss on Thursday. So listen, I've been talking about A J. Brown. I've been talking about A J. Brown and Ryan Tannehill as that combo for the better part of a month. Now you know what I'm saying. We're gonna talk about it again. And so of those guys, Yeah, like Deebo Samuel, Yeah, like Cooper Cup If Dealing is back, I would play him.

But otherwise, yeah, Lockett hasn't done as much. He's a little bit banged up that whatever it is. So yeah, I can see A J. Brown and a j. Brown's got a great matchup next week. All right, there, Ben, So in any event, let's get back to what we usually do in this segment, which is uh biggest takeaways, what we can spend forward next week, what we got right, what we got wrong. So here's what I want to say. First, last Monday, at this point in time, remember how it

was like, I'm not saying the Patriots are dead. And then I said, but they could be handled. And I said, if you take away Edelman, that Brady didn't have the faith in his receivers. All that stuff I said last week, Okay, because I don't want people being like, oh, speeds jumping on the bad wagon, speeds piling on. All week, I was talking about how the cracks are showing all season. I've been talking about how it's not vintage all season. I've been talking about three specific men, and they're the

teams that they lead. Now, who are the three Patriots losses? The exact three men and the teams that they lead that I said, Okay, now here's what I want to do, adding onto for what I saw yesterday. You already know my position on the Patriots. Okay, I think we're at the fall of Rome. I think it's Edelman and then what right, and that Brady doesn't trust it. They needed that with the evolution of the run game. That's why you had guys like Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon. They needed Gronk,

all that good stuff. Now what you can take them away, you can take away Edelman. What then, here's what I saw yesterday that only furthered my point. I don't care about these instant replays. I don't care about if he stepped out of bounds or not. I don't care if it was passing inference or not. You know what I know. I know that the Patriots know it themselves. You look at Brady's frustration on the sideline, And what I saw yesterday was the Patriots knowing that in order to score

points they needed to resort to trickeration. Okay, flee flickers, half back passes. That's how they were getting their chunk plays yesterday when they just had first and ten on their own thirty and they didn't run a trick play, they couldn't move the ball. All right, This is now the blueprint, all right? And I do believe Listen Brady goes nineteen thirty six hundred and sixty nine yards he

throws another interception. Right now, the New England Patriots this year have two wins against teams that are five hundred or better. Okay, they gotta win against Philly. I excuse me. The opener against Pittsburgh where they blew out the Steelers, right, I'll give you that. And that's the opener where they were hanging a banner and all that good stuff. And then one the game they won sixteen to ten against

the Buffalo Bills. Remember that game, blocked punt for a touchdown. Right, So you show me the proofpoint of when the Patriots can beat a good team, because I haven't seen it this year, This new England Patriots, this new England Patriots team is resorting the trick plays, all right, and they're getting worse over the season as more and more teams figure out what they can do to stifle them, all right,

And that is my problem. I do not see this team being able to now and back to back weeks beat say, the Chiefs and the Ravens, the Texans and the Ravens. I don't see them if they fall to the third seed, which is now possible for them to beat a team like the Titans and then go to Kansas City and then go to Baltimore. It ain't happen in people. And what I saw yesterday was even the pit of their stomach. They know it. That's why they're resorting the trick plays, and that's why you see the

frustration of Brady on the sidelines. But I'll also tell you when we talk about trick plays, here's the takeaway from me from that first Well, that Saints um, that Saints Niners game on believable. Alright, great game reminds me of all the big boys we saw last year, the Chiefs Rams game, the Patriots Chiefs game, right, all those great games all right, even this year's see Hawks Niners. Right.

Here's what I'll say. I noticed something though, and it's something we've talked about, and I want you I has to pay attention to this moving forward. Okay, why do you think the Saints tried so much stuff? Fake punts, Taysom Hill. The Niners did too. They broke out and like half back Miname Sanders passing the rhame most start double end arounds. It's because they know they may see this team again, and they're putting stuff on tape that they want to put on tape just so they can

break the tendency later on. You know, a team plays like Vanilla in the preseason because they don't want to show you something now in these kind of matchups where they think they may see you again. It's not that they don't want to show you something. They want to show you a specific something because they want it on tape, and then they want to be able to do the play action off that the break that tendency. I make

this analogy all the time. Manny Ramirez used to purposely look stupid on a slider and his first at bat, Why because he then knew what meant on base in the sixth inning. Later on, in a clutch spot, he'd get the same slider and he'd deposit over the damn wall. That's watch. That's what guys like Cale Shanahan, Sean Payton,

Bill Belichick, that's what they do. And I wonder if we saw you know, Manny Sanders passing or he most started, if we saw fake punts, if we saw you know, Taysom Hill being utilized in a lot of different ways just so they can go off that um in a month's time. And I think that's very interesting. Watch that. Also when you see some of these other games that may involve teams like Houston and Tennessee are gonna play each other's in the next uh suit three weeks, watch

what happens. Watch it. There's some like stuff they put out there just to go away from it in weeks seventeen. I do believe that will be the case. And I said it before my big takeaway, I damn hate bye weeks or the first week of fantasy playoffs because so many people get banged up. I had on one of my teams. I had Evans, Geys Parker, and Andrews on a bye week and they all get banged out. On one of my teams. My two quarterbacks in a two

quarterback league are Patrick Mahomes and Jamis Winston. They both got hurt. And I told you to cuff these guys. Okay, So when we turn the page, we'll talk about, you know, how we can kind of respond that will also say this. You know, it's a big takeaway from me. I'm I'm you know, Jake Seali used to say band kickers. I'm now on that train because if you were facing say Jason Sanders, right and he it's seven field goals and scored twenty four points, and that's why you lost. Send

me the game of inches. I want to see it, and I wanna you know, tell you you got a bad beat what I got right. Let me tell you something. I've told you that Girley equals the balance for these Rams. And look at what the Rams are doing now that they have rediscovered Todd Gurley. I told you this and I think it will continue. They're trying to move away from being a finesse team. They're double teaming the guard, the double teaming the ends on the other side with

the guards. They're even running different personnel groups. Cooper Cup was not on the field and first down last night, all right, it was Josh Reynolds Higbee and the other tight end number eighty two. Then they brought in Cooks and Cup on passing downs, all right. They are trying to change their identity. Girley goes twenty three, carries seventy nine yards and a touchdown. When Girle carries the ball fourteen times or more. This year, the Rams are now

seven and one. Their only loss was at one point lost the Seattle when he carries the ball less than fourteen times there one in four they only beat the Cincinnati Bengals, and that was the day that Cooper Cup went off a two twenty yards for goodness sakes, Okay, this is another example about balance, and this is what I say. You want another one, I'll give you another one. I got it right again. The damn Tennessee Titans. I told you to take them all day against the Oakland

Raiders because they are a team that is ascending. Ryan Tannehell wins again. He is six and one now under center as the starter for these Titans. Okay, he went twenty one of seven for three hundred and ninety one yards. He's gonna win you DFS leagues. I gave him out as a DFS guy. He's gonna win people two quarterback season long leagues. They are averaging thirty one point four points a game with him, and in none of those games did he have to go over thirty nine attempts.

The same thing remains true when you have Derrick Henry being literally the best running back in football over the last month. He goes a hundred and three and two touchdowns. That's after a hundred forty nine in a tud after a hundred fifty nine and two after a hundred and two. I'm telling you people, that balance that Tennessee has is something that these teams need, the teams that don't have it. I talked about it all the time, the Falcons, the Chargers, right,

Tennessee has it. The Rams are finding it. We'll see what happens with the Titans, because they got used New Orleans and Houston. We'll see if they'll be able to maintain that balance in the last month of the season when we come back on the other side of the break. More of what Speed's got right, what Speed's got wrong. There's a few players that put it in my eye. I will humbly admit it your questions as well. Will open up the phone lines, and we'll look to the

waiver wire because some people got banged up yesterday. It's fantasy Freestyle, Come on back sports grid, get on the grid job.

All Right, we got people going crazy in the chat room as well. Dex No,

I am not worried about Cooper Cup. I'm saying this as it relates to Todd Gurley and how the Rams are. I believe um shedding some of their finesse approach and trying to be a little bit more. I think, if anything, it hurts Cooks. I know I mentioned that Cup is not on the field in that package, that personnel group they were running, but no Cup is still, in my opinion, the apple of goss. I I know Woods has had it. But remember this is why anybody that's in the cipher listen.

If you're a real deal cipher. You know years ago I talked about the fantasy heard. This is the fantasy heard, people, and that's why I say the fantasy heard is good for the real team. Right, you start to leverage Girly, you got a little bit of Higbee. You got Cup? You got what four weeks ago people were like, oh my god, I want to drop Robert Woods right now. He's just the point of the herd. That's the whole point. Okay. But I do still think Woods and Cup will be fine.

I think if anybody, it's Brandon Cooks that we have to worry about. Also, vo V is asking me which receiver I like best with um Eli. First of all, I would fade Slaton, okay, because Tatan Shep should be there. Um Either one of them fine to me. I I would lean slightly towards Golden tape. But let's keep it moving here. We'll get your questions guys a little bit later on in the show. Will open up the phone

lines a little bit later on in the show. I also want to tell you one of the things I got right as I'm telling you guys, and this is a remember I don't give you a fish, I teach you how to fish. One of the things I say all the time is that the young rookie running backs will start to ascend in the back half of the season and in the last month of the season. What do you know, Devin Singletary seventeen carries eighty nine yards and six catches. Meanwhile Gore gets four touches. What do

you know? David Montgomery twenty six carries eight excuse me, twenty carries eighty six yards. They decided they can cut Mike Davis. The only other back there is Trek Cohen seven yards. What do you know? Nick Chubb continues to be a stud? What do you know? Darius Guys was getting more and more and more until the damn shame and park Fried Guys gave out right. What do you know? Even guys like bo Scarborough being utilized as a rookie.

What do you know? Uh, Bet Snell? Yeah right, Even guys like Madison gets forty six yards and he will continue to have a real role. What does that mean for Miles Sanders tonight? With no Jordan Howard, are you gonna trust Jaya Ji or others? No? In the rain, I'm giving it to Miles Sanders tonight. I think that impacts my handicap in tonight? All right? But uh movie Golden Tate, if any of them all right? What did

I get wrong? Though? Listen, I acknowledge this. I'm one of the few people out here who talk about what I got wrong in the same way as what I got right, because this is not about me being perfect nine percent of the time, or haven't telling you have some crazy rate. We say all the time, you want to get it right fifty six percent of the time. The people that are really here in the status over beat Cipher Danny Lee telling me I'm helping them out. I don't gotta tell you and front like I get

everything right. Here's what I got wrong. Drew Lock put it in my eye yesterday. All right, I was on the Houston Texans defense thing and they figured out Tom Brady, and then the next week they could do the same thing to Drew Lock. Remember this is the secondary that shut Tom Brady down, Right, they couldn't do it to Drew Lock. Drew Lock through for three nine yards and three touchdowns. He's now two and oh under center for the Denver Broncos. Okay, Yes, the defensive touchdown helped their

game flow. Yes, going up twenty one nothing in the first half helped, right, But you I what I am doing, okay, is I used to think that facing Denver would be a good stream for the playoff weeks. You know what I mean that was one of the teams I was looking at if I was gonna get ahead of it, try and find the defense to pick up early to stream. I now can't say that about matchups against Denver anymore, you know what I mean? Like Locke looks like he belongs.

I was talking in the same vein that you needed to fade Courtland Sutton a little bit. I can't say that anymore, you know what I mean. Although he did go under again, all right, but that's a way to look at it. You know who else put it in my eye a little bit. The Mitchell Trobinsky. You know, I've been weeks here telling you I've been liking him to Blake Bordles, saying that the team you know, messed up by drafting him, and that he's a boss, that

it's going to cost the franchise. And listen, he goes twenty three thirty one to three touchdowns. He also got a touchdown with his legs. He ran for sixty three yards right, and there was some straightes zone reads. And this is the point I want to make. Mitchell Robinsky has that in him. But you know what I like, And here's the thing. Remember teaching you how to Fish. I think this league is evolving. We're gonna see more

and more of these dual threat quarterbacks. Okay, it's not only that Robinsky is better when he utilizes his legs. It's guys like Josh Allen. It's guys like Gardner Minshew, even it's guys like Kyler Murray and of course DeShawn Watson and the big boys like Lamar and stuff. But what it's becoming is it is now more and more viable for this kind of dual threat to work and to play in the National Football League. Right, And so

does that mean for me in fantasy next year? I'm waiting even more and I'm just drafting quarterbacks that can run. I'm drafting Josh Allen when I can. I'm drafting Kyler Murray when I can. I'm drafting these mobile quarterbacks. These are cheap points. These are just straight up cheap points. And I'm gonna take him. And here's the other implication. What does he do for the draft stock of say Jalen Hurts, of say justin Fields, you know, even guy like Perkins in Virginia. Will a team take a chance

like if you are right now? You know, I don't know something not like the Detroit Lions. And you think Stafford's career is coming to an end in the next couple of years, wouldn't you take a chance on one of these? Why not? Look look look at the life it injects into these teams. Why not give it a shot? Okay? And I was wrong about guys like Mitchell Robiski and maybe to a lesser extent, Garden Min Shoo, Josh Allen others. I'm with it now. It is the way you quarterbacks

who can do more things, all right? And what did I get right? Listen, I got I got the idea that the Panthers may rally with no coach players only, meaning I got that wrong, all right. And now we're seeing they're gonna accept big offers for Cam Newton in the off season. He's going somewhere else, alright. But what I will say about the Panthers watch this because you know, like these guys are getting shut down and you know

moving I are real quickly. Listen, watch Christian McCaffrey. Of course you're gonna play him in your season semifinals in season long, right, but his usage, he was the number one player in all the fantasy His usage I think is starting to go down. He caught eleven balls, I know that, but he only got eleven carries. And I think now you see Curtis Samuel getting rushes. You know, you see uh, you know, them throwing the ball a little bit more. I think they're gonna need to preserve CMC.

I don't know that you're gonna see McCaffrey running for a hundred yards, all right, He hasn't gotten over seventy yards in the last four they've they've lost all those games, all right, but keep an eye on the usage of Christian McCaffrey now that there's nothing for the Panthers to play for either, all right, on the waiver wire. Okay, first of all, remember I said I'm not gonna stream against Denver anymore. I gotta give you a defense that now I do belie Eve is worth it. In the

next couple of weeks. You know what defense I am now willing to start. And this is gonna sound silly, I'm willing to start the Kansas City Chiefs defense. Guys, they're getting up now with Patty Mahomes, they're putting pressure on Okay, with Frank Clark and others. I think they are rounding into form. It took time with Spagnolo's defense. I think they're getting better and better. And I would be okay with the Kansas City Chiefs as a streaming

defense if you need it literally in the playoffs. I'm gonna do that in the league that I have. All right, Um, at the let me give you the tight end position. All right, let me give you the tight end position. Because listen, Mark Andrews hurt. Right, they said they avoided disaster, but he's got a quick turnaround. They play Thursday night football, so you may have lost Andrew's first semifinals. Vance McDonald's Jared Cook all for semifinals. Right, So here's I'll give

you a couple one. Tyler Higbee. I said it last week. He is still only twenty percent owned people. All right, that's after a seven catch for a hundred sixteen yard effort. I told you the way they're using them now. Still no Gerald Everett. Okay, that's viable. Okay. I believe that they are using him in a way in what I said was that early down personnel group. All Right, I

like Higbee. I'll give you a couple more. Look at O. J. Howard look at O. J. Howard and why you know, my how it comes full circle right everybody, we would we're talking about how much of a bust and a full gaze O. J. Howard was. But if Mike Evans is done, they need other targets. I want shares of the bucks passing game, right, And why wouldn't O. J.

Howard be one of the beneficiaries. Listen? O J. Howard nine catches a hundred thirty four yards over his last two and I think he's gonna get more targets now that Mike Evans won't be there for the next few weeks for your fantasy playoffs. That's a guy who's only owned in of leagues. Um, David the and Joku is on you is owned in thirty two seven percent of leagues. They activated him from I R. If you're scraping the bottle of battle, if you need him, go ahead. If

no Mark Andrews, you can go to Hayden Hurst. He might be the next man up in that offense. If there's no Andrews, that's viable. Um, those are the guys I would go to, all right, I would go Higbee, then Howard, than Baltimore tight end if there is no uh Mark Andrews. All right, let's talk about the wide receiver position. Okay, because we had wide receivers get banged out. Okay, you could have lost DeVante Parker, Calvin Ridley, Mike Evans. Right, so my number one wide receiver, ad listen. I told

you this guy last week. You should have listened to me then, right like A J. Brown people, in the last three he has three d and thirty plus yards with three touchdowns. He is Ryan Tannehill's target. I've told you what this offense is doing. A J. Brown is unowned in seventy five percent of leagues. Go out and get them. Oh, and check the schedule. I think they've got a nice matchup next year, next week. Check it out. Okay. Um Richard Perriman is zero percent owned right now, same

logic as O. J. Howard. He's zero percent owned, but three catches for seventy yards and a touchdown last week after Evans went out, same thing. I'm okay. If you're in a big time pinch, I'll take a share of this Tampa Bay Bucks pass offense. And that looks like Perriman could be someone getting targets. Now that Mike Evans along with O. J. Howard, Zach Pascal, people thirty cent old. I told you about him. The last couple of weeks, he's gotten into the end zone. The last couple of weeks.

Still no Ebron. Still I don't know that t Y Hilton is gonna play either. Deebo Samuel and one of these giants. Guys you can play the Monday night football trick with. But Deebo Samuel is on the two thirds of leagues. But if he's not owned, go check him out. When we come back. We'll talk game of inches, We'll talk what I've got a sweat in all of our leagues. We'll talk about the stats over beats league, and I'll

give you some running backs as well. Let's say you got banged out with a guy like Darius Guys, I can help you out. Danny, do me a favor. Let's also let's open a phone lines.

hundred and twenty three. As we slide on in to Monday Night football, the Eagles and the Giants are about to kick off on about a half an hour. Um, here's what I want to do. I got a very special guest on the line that I'm gonna get to in a hot second. I do want to first give you some running backs, okay, um, real quick. Like, First of all, you never know about Josh Jacobs, right, so you know it's viable if there's no Jacobs, Dion Dre

Washington needs to be owned. But here's the thing I told you about all these guys, right, I told you two weeks ago going into your playoffs, you needed to handcuff your studs. So if you were riding with Josh Jacobs and you don't have DeAndre Washington, I don't know what to tell you. Okay, but he's six percent owned, go out and get him. Right now, we don't know about Josh Jacobs. H most Start is still only owned

in fifty leagues. It's absolutely ridiculous to me. He's had over twenty Fantasy points in his last two games that people say in Coleman fading. I don't know what kind of share breed is gonna get. What I do know is that most Start needs to be on your roster, especially if you have shares of the forty niners committee. Adrian Peterson needs to be at it again. Listen, now that guys is gone, right, it goes right back to

the way it was. This will be Adrian Peterson on early downs and Chris Thompson, who, by the way, I think caught seven or eight balls and it's definitely again viable in PPR leagues. He's another guy Peterson or Thompson. If you can get those guys, you know. I want to know about Levan Bell. I want to know if I think this illness is going to turn into him getting shut down real quick. And if it does, you know where to pivot to right Boom boom, and of course Tie as well. Those are the guys. And if

you're really desperate, you can go Patrick Laird. I guess he's only owned alright. He had fifteen carries forty eight yards. If you are scrunging the bottom of the barrel like it was with Klin Balage, go ahead and do it all right. First of all, Danny, can you please put up for a hot second? What says the image that says Flex matchup? Thank you? So this is the matchup that I need to sweat out people? All right? I have um a match of this Jake Celey, the Flex

League of Experts. You know, it's all, it's all, you know, people into business. I was the third seed, okay, and I'm facing Jen Ryan, the sixth seed. But Jen Ryan had the highest point total in the entire damn league. Okay, she's up on me by about twenty seven points. But if you note, I still have Carson Wentz and say Kwan Barkley to go in about a half an hour, and we now it is my pleasure to bring in Jen Ryan to the Fantasy Freestyle. Jen, thanks for kate

in a couple of minutes with us. How are you feeling tonight to be fan? I think I'm the one who's letting this out, not you, Like I don't know, Jen, I don't know. It's four point touchdowns, it's four point passing touchdowns, not six. It's half point PPR, not a full So yeah, it may happen, but it's pouring rain out there. You're telling me Wentz can't throw an interception or you can't get concussed in the first quarter, so I don't want you giving me all that reverse mojo. Jen.

All right, that's what I'm talking about first of all. But here's the question. I have the real question for you, because I know you're a Cowboys fan, right, So okay, So, as a huge Cowboys fan, you need the Eagles to lose tonight. Right. We talked about this, like who wants to actually win the NFC East and you know, have San Francisco come into their you know, hometown or Seattle

and beat them in wild card weekend. But I digress, Jan, So, as a big Cowboys fan, what if I told you tonight that say Kwon Barkley would dominate the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants would win, but in so doing so, he would give me enough points to beat you in your playoff matchup. Would you sign up for that? It is not a fair question, Dane at all. This is not a fair question. I mean, I feel like, of course I would sign up for that, but like I have to be honest with you. Out of all my all

my leagues, I am dying. I want the belt to I want that belt to listen, everybody. Yeah, and I'm gonna wear it. Absolutely, you'll see it right here on set. Absolutely, It's it's it's listen. We got we got some legit big timers in here right between Joe Pisappila, we got Ronus the King's gott Angle, Maddie Modica, Tim Hein yourself,

I'm okay myself. You know this is really I remember us in the draft room and you you went an interesting strategy because also remember Jen, this draft happened early in the off season, right Zeke was in Cabo, and I remember you came out and you wound up with Zeke Elliott and Melvin Gordon. Correct, Yeah, Melvin Gordon I got in the fourth round. And if you remember, it's also a two quarterback league, the last person to take a quarterback, and I took them back to back, and

you know, fortunately it's worked out so far. But here we are, and you're ready to play four or I. And the funny part is you took Melvin Gordon in the fourth round, and I think about two rounds later, I took Austin Ekeler. Okay, And I remember if you remember we were at we were at serious X seven. They had us and they were like interviewing us in between rounds, right, and they were like, well, well, why would you take Austin Neckler? You really? What are you

doing about Austin Necklin? I was like, listen, James Conner won me leagues last year. Austin Neckler might do it this year. And what do you know, Jen, You know, Gordon has a nice game yesterday, gets into the end zone. But Eckler over a hundred yards rushing and receiving. He's the guy. Listen. I thought you had a big lead on me. It was this Chargers game that brought me

within shouting distance. Jen. Yeah, And and look the whole el Gordon is in I mean, here, here's the thing I think, Like, you know, I took a shot on Gordon. It was the fourth round. I was super like, pretty confident obviously he was gonna come back eventually. But even had had they both supported the camp on time. I mean standalone value absolutely a lot of running backs who could be on the same team, same time. Both of those guys prenued in that offense. So you know, steal

in the sixth round. If you're asking me, well, I appreciated Jel. Pretty fortunate to get Melviot in. Yeah, we were playing the game like how far was he gonna fall? You know what I mean? But you're right, I agree with you. Was the guy I was targeting anyway, because I knew that once Gordon came back, I would continue to play him anyway. All right, So, so by someone who knows the NFC East, what are you think? How

do you think this plays out? I gotta tell you the truth, Jen, The reason I think I might be okay is because now with Eli back, you know, I think Daniel Jones would throw the ball down field. With Eli, I think we're gonna get Sa Kwan getting a ton of ball. Stay in the checkdown game. What do you think, how do you what do you think is gonna happen tonight? I think especially early, you know, because he's gonna want to knock off a little bit of russ I would imagine,

But then again, I mean he's such a veteran. Is there really that much rough and knock off? I mean, I think you're gonna I think you're gonna start obviously feeding steak one early. My concern with Ta Kwan, and I'm not just saying this because he's on your team. Like I obviously watch every football game. He's just not from No, he doesn't. He can't. He can't write the way he normally does. It's gonna take those straight runs. But for you know how it is with him, it

only take one. For I'm just looking for a seven yard screen for a touchdown, Jen, I'll tell you the truth. I'm just looking for a seven yard screen for a touchdown. And that's why my prop one of my prop bets for the game is se Kwon Barkley over thirty three and a half rushing yards. But he here's what we'll do, Jen, do me a favor, no matter what happens tonight. Okay,

how about we do this. How about you come back on the show in a week or two and we talk about you know, the NFC East and what's profiling that happened down there. Okay, I would love that any time. And tell everybody, Jenn, tell everybody, how can we find your work? You throw it out Twitter handles. How can we find your work? You know it at football die hards? How can we find you? Because listen, you know you're doing something right. You were the highest points total in

the league. So people need to follow because you know what you're talking about. Jen, How can we follow you? I hope? So I just like to think I study a lot. You can totally find me on Twitter at f F D generate. Of course that's felt with the J B E J E N E R A T E and uh every Wednesday, the fine folks are at football got hard. Let me crash their serious satellite show.

So I'm on the seven at seven every Wednesday, and then uh the off seasons right around the Honor, so I'll be doing a lot of work over there for them with bestball. All right, sounds good, gentle, Thanks for sending a couple of minutes for us. Here's what I'll say to you, good luck to you, just better luck to me tonight. That's all. Thanks for spending a couple of minutes. We'll talk to you soon, Jenn. All right, I'll take it. Dan, Thanks, good luck tonight. It sounds good.

All right, listen, we're gonna take one more call, this time from the status of beat Cipher. We got Liz from Cali. One call and then we'll talk a little bit about Monday night football. Let's get it. Liz, how can we help you win your leagues and win that cash? What's going on? Hey? Dan, how's everybody doing? We're doing all right, We're doing all right. How's you? How are you doing, Liz? I'm doing great. I scored over two points this week. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. That's

what I'm talking about. Good, So we're in the clear. That sounds like a huge number. What's your question? Go ahead. I have a concern. Just came out that d Shark isn't a walking book. Yeah. I'm an ankle injury. Not concerned about that at all. Yes, yes, I am walking. Boots are never good. Okay, I don't know, but you have to keep definite attention to him. I gave out some wide receivers that you may be able to pivot

to if if you don't have guys on your bench. Um, Liz, and Chark is banged out, And yes he isn't a walking boot. Yes, I am concerned. You gotta see if guys like a J. Brown, maybe a Deebo Samuel or check for if nothing else happens, go Brochard Perriman. He's the guys taken over for Mike Evans and Tampa. But the best option for me would be to see if a J. Brown is available. But yeah, Liz, you gotta follow that. That doesn't bode well for his availability next

week at all, Liz, I'm sorry to tell you. And the other question I had really quick, what the hell is going on with a running with the Chief? Yeah, good question if you want to know what I think, like, they just threw Spencer wear into it for goodness sakes, right, and that really complicated it. I thought for a second we'd have Shady on early downs Darwin Thompson in the past game and we'd be good to go. Then they go out and run out you know, you know, Spencer

were of all people. I hate to tell you, it's something that. If anything, I think the most safe play is Shady McCoy. But you know, next week, I got no idea. I wouldn't really start any of them. I'd like to see how it shakes out a little bit more. If I had to pick one, it would be Shady. But good luck, Liz, and give you a call back any time. All right, only a couple of minutes left, guys. So first of all, I want to give a big shout out. I gotta give a big shout out to

Young Cause. Okay, Young Causes down by forty five in our matchup, but he has Golden Tate, Alshon, Jeffrey and Dallas Goddard. Okay, And I say shout him out because he's also getting better. Um, he hasn't been doing the remixes recently because of um, he had a back issue. He was, you know, laid up for a little while. So I want to tell him, uh, you know, rest up.

I hope you're feeling better. Forty five points for Cause against Cryptotoker, and then the other one did leave from the undisclosed location needs only four points from the Philadelphia defense to move on. You talked. We talked about my sweat with Jen Ryan, I need twenty seven points out of Wentz and Kwon, and it looks like in the pit League, I'm gonna advance as well. Listen for this game. I like Philly. I don't think they defecate the mattress twice in a row with it all right in front

of him. I'll take Philly minus the eight and a half. I'll take over forty four and a half. I'm not worried about the rain. I think Philly will be able to score in this game. The New York Giants are thirty feet in the NFL against the pass. Okay, Carson Wentz has been a volume thrower a lot of times, and it's hurt them. I don't think it hurts them tonight because I think Miles Sanders can run. Remember I told you about the rookie running backs ascending over time.

Look at what single Terry did, look at what Montgomery did this week. I think Sanders against a bad run defense, can do the same thing. The Giants give up twenty eight point three points a game that is thirty in the NFL, behind only Arizona and Tampa Bay. I think Philly scores. I think they score enough to get a two score lead. I think they win this game. I think it goes over the number. And if you want to just get some free money, I'll take the prop bet. Yes,

Eli Manning will throw an interception today. I know I'll lay the juice. I don't care. I like the se Kwon prop bet. I like the se Kwon part prop bet of receptions and receiving yards. Why because one thing, I know, Danny Dimes would throw the ball downfield. Eli Manning I think will do so less, especially with the weather as well. I think we're gonna see screens and

check downs the se Kwan. Maybe part of that is wishful thinking because I need points from him tonight against Jen, but I think over thirty three and a half receiving yards is free money for se Kwon Barkley. I'll be here for the next hour with Scott Wessel, with Gabe Morancy, Scott's and uh. I don't want to call it an ugly Christmas sweater because it's the season, But he may think that that's like his a game. Tune in in a couple of minutes to find out. We'll be talking

about it. At least I know who he's rooting for. I'll tell you that episode four three in the books. On Thursday, we'll have the phone lines open, sits starts so you can get ready for your semifinals and win your leagues and win neck cash. We add of here ya hit me on Twitter, answer the poll. We'll do what we gotta do. I'm out piece. NFL season is now upon us, so you can be going the eighth person to win one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft

Kings tournament. My sitting there lineup using the Daily Order dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're playing daily Fantasy sports and not using Daily Order dot Com, you're doing it wrong.

He will do what we usually do here on a Monday, and it's incredibly important because it is playoff time in fantasy football, all right, and so everything becomes magnified, all the injuries that happened, the game of inches that happened. Right the next man up that happened. This is all magnified now that you are in a must win scenario moving forward. Okay, I personally started this season and like I think seven

or eight leagues, I was in five playoffs. I still, you know, I'm live in some of them. I had byes in some of them. I don't like how it went to be quite honest, I have one team that I was all good because I had a bye, right, Yeah, that team had Mike Evans on it. That team had Davante Parker on it. You know what I mean. That team I'm struggling with guys like James Conner on it, so the by did not necessarily help. But we'll get into that. I'm speaking about some of these names. Let's

are there. These are the names you need to know next week and watch them because there was a boatload. It seemed like a mash unit last week. Like there are some weeks when I'm preparing here and we're talking about like the waiver wire, and I'm like, there's not that many places you need to pivot because there weren't too many injuries. I can't say that yesterday, and it seemed like they all happened in the one o'cock games and like bang bang bang. Alright, So Davante Parker he

got concussed and left in the second quarter. Remember I've been riding that streak with him, and so have you if you've been following this Spen statistician. He got concussed. Darius guys. You know we love Darius guys. Oh and by the way, I gave out the prop bet on Darius Guice yesterday it was over forty and a half. It went up to forty one and a half. Dude had five carries for forty two yards before he had the knee injury. That's why you got a shop around.

There were some books where you had to get that at forty three forty four yards and even wind up with forty two before getting banged out with a knee injury, which looks like it's gonna be an issue. It looks like he's gonna miss Mike Evans with the hamstring. Bruce Arians came out and said today looks like he's probably gonna be done for the year with only three weeks left. That sucks. Mark Andrews with the knee. They're saying he may have avoided serious issues because it may be just

a contusion. Mark Andrew's the Great tight End now second year tight end of the Baltimore Ravens. The tight end issues were not done. Jared Cook after catching two first quarter touchdowns, he gets concussed. Vance McDonald, Vance and make them dance. He gets concussed. So listen, Andrew's Cook McDonald. Those are all viable tight ends, so we will tell you later on in the show Where to Pivot too.

In the in the waiver wires, I got one or two that you could definitely use if you still need that are like less than owned if you still need a tight end. Okay, audentate alright with an ankle, he's gone. Be sure to follow all our social media at Evans
