You are now tuned into the speeds and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Off next on that site book on the microphone. You know that the best yet Martinez, you know what it is. It should boy Dane Martinez, Hey, k a speed dek to spitting statistician and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the

award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I had to do it a little bit different because I know my man lands Davis, my man strong style. They added, you know, the stable genius and vocal minority. I hones see if I could throw them off. But that is not the case. Big shout out to everybody here in the stats over beat cipher. We're checking in on the chat room already. Dilly dilly to Mario, what up brother man d Gold? Hey, how you doing out there? All right? Check us ot.

We're gonna have a good show for you. Okay, we are getting ready for a week four I will give you my Thursday Night football prediction a little bit later on in the show. We got the Rams and the Vikings getting it on the Rams or touchdown favorite right now, despite the fact that there will be no keep to lead, despite the fact that it looks like, you know, Marcus Peters may or may not go game time kind of decision. We'll see about that. Dalvin Cook looks like he's gonna

give it a go on the Minnesota side. I will end this show with my prediction. If you remember last week, I predicted on Thursday Night Football that the victory Fridges would be open against my j E T S S Jets Jets, and that's in fact what happened. So you may want to listen to the spitting statistician on this one. Here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna give out a DFS lineup right, I'm gonna tell you what I like. They're in DFS boidered. I have the game stacks right

last time. Unfortunately I did not say Calvin Ridley. I was like, yo, I like the Falcons, Yo, I like all the Saints. I had Julio Jones and Michael Thomas. Maybe it did a derivative of my lineup and you wound up with that Ryan Calvin Ridley Stack. I know some of you guys on Twitter absolutely did and told me that we helped you win that cash. Okay, follow me on Twitter if you ever want to ask me some questions. We got the Patreon status over beat Cipher

as well. So we're gonna do the DFS lineup right. Some spotlight games we'll talk about Thursday Night Football. I will also give you some defenses to stream. Listen. You may have Carolina on by. You may not want to go with some bad matchups for some defenses. I will give you four defenses that I kind of like that you can probably get um that I would I would feel comfortable streaming. Okay, and then later on in the show,

we're gonna open up the phone lines as well. We're gonna take some questions from the stats over beat cipher in the chat room. We're gonna open up the phone lines later on in this show as well. But news and notes first, since we last spoke here on the Fantasy Freestyle on Tuesday, a lot of stuff is going on. By the way, the friendship bread is in the freezer, all right, Jilly Dilley, I got you. The friendship bread is in the freezer. We're gonna, you know, warm some

up on Sunday morning. We're gonna take a morsel of it and hopefully we keep the good luck going. Okay, But since I spoke to you on Tuesday, Rex Birkhead was sent to I R all right, and y'all know in the chat room, right, y'all know about the stereotype, the Mitsubishi, the Panasonic, the Sony Michelle. I was telling y'all last week that I was on Sony Michelle. I was telling you on Tuesday that I like the stereotype Sony Michelle, and now it Rex Burkhead on I R

WHOA like Rick Flair? I like Sony Michelle. Okay, I think it is Sony Michelle time. All right, This was a committee with three people, right with Burkehead. Now it is a time share, and I think, to be honest, like a standard kind of a traditional time share. You know you were going to see Sony Michelle as the early down, as the goal line guy, and you will see James White in PPR. I think both of them

this week. I think both of them are startable as back end r B two or flex playze and going forward, I think both of them are viable, especially in PPR formats. Okay, give me shares of the stereotype. If you were part of the stats over beat cipher, you know this is not news to you because your boys speeds, the spitting statistician, stable genius and vocal minority has been telling you that for we all right, um, al Shan Jeffrey cleared for contact since we last spoke. Okay, but here's the thing.

He's still misspractice today. But that's saying that was because of an illness. All right, al Shan is someone if you drafted him and he's back and out there, I'm okay with playing him right away because there's no real other options. You see, Nelson Aghilor is getting like eight catches for thirty three yards. He's not going downfield. Zach Ertz, however, is one of only five players in the NFL this season to have double digit targets in each of their

first three games. You know, zach Ertz is getting heavily targeted, but al Shan should get some opportunity if and when he comes back. It's trending like he may have a chance to debut. And I'm okay if you need to put him in a flex spot this week against the Tennessee Titans. Okay, Um, if you don't have to, I like that, wait and see if he does. Ahead, go ahead and get dressed and get cleared. But um, I think when he is back healthy, you can run in

alshon Jeffrey right back in your lineups. We have a timetable now for Evan Ingram. They're saying two to four weeks for that m c L Listen. If you're part of the status over beat Cipher, you know I think he's a fool, crazy anyway, someone you need to forget about. Remember how I was talking about Evan Ingram and it was about his target share, right, I said last year he popped off because he was like the last man standing,

said Odell was gonna get his and he is. I also said Sat Kwan was gonna get his and s Kuan had like fourteen catches a couple of weeks ago. Okay, those are the targets that would have been going to Evan Ingram if he was healthy. I'm off Evan Ingram right now. I told you on Tuesday's show when we did the waivers on tight ends, that there were plenty of tight ends that I liked. Okay, I think some of them will be fine for you in Evan Ingram's place,

Vance McDonald, Tyler Eiffort among them. BOYD, do I love those bangles in that matchup this week against Atlanta. I like a little bit of a uh Andy Dalton Tyler Eiffort stack. We'll talk about that a little bit later on as I reveal my d f S lineup. Also, it's trending into direction that the fits magic will continue for at least one week. All right, Um, I think fits Magic is gonna get start week four. Yes, they have officially reinstated Jamis Winston. Yes, it's true. Dirt Cutter

hasn't really talked about it. Are divulged it, at least to the media, right, Um, But Fitz he is getting all the first team reps. Fitz Magic is gonna start this week. However, I think this is a very good week to hop off Fitzpatrick against Chicago's gonna get pressure, gonna get turnovers, then they have a bye next week. I could see a universe where this is Fitzpatrick's last

start four the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay, so if you have Jamis Oldham, he may be back in the stattle after the week five by but this week I think it'll be fits Magic. Chase Brown in the chat room is asking me about Lindsay or Dalvin Cook PPR. Help please, I'm gonna tell you right now if you drafted Dalvin Cook, he's one of your studs, and I usually default to start your studs. However, in this situation, I am worried about Dalvin Cook to night. And here's why. One, he's

just maybe a game time decision. He's gonna give it a go. He's certainly not a hundred percent. And we talked about Thursday Night football and what this means for player safety. Right, we saw a mixing get banged up, right, we saw Trod get banged up. People get banged up on Thursday Night football. I would be worried about Dalvin Cook's usage tonight. Even if he's there, He's not add percent. You think he's getting a full workload. I think Latin

Murray is still gonna get some opportunity. I'm worried about Dalvin Cook for that reason. I'm also worried about Dalvin Cook because of Dominican Sue and Aaron Donald. Not the best run matchup with that front, that front defensive line of the Los Angeles Rams. Okay, so a lot of reasons to fade Dalvin Cook tonight, Chase, you're asking about Philip Lindsay or Dalvin Cook. A lot of reasons to like Philip Lindsay. I like everybody playing against the Kansas

City Chiefs. There in shootouts all the time, a lot of production to be had, Chase, I can understand going Philip Lindsay over Dalvin Cook. I know it's a tough thing. I know a lot of people be like, what do you mean you gotta start Dalvin Cook. I'm okay if you go Lindsay, my friend, I am okay if you go Lindsay. Um. Another question out there, Jared is saying I got both Cooper Cup and Robert Woods playing tonight. Should ILL be starting both? Or should I bench one

over the other? I hear you, Jared, and this is the problem. I talk about the fantasy herd all the f and time, and this is why you don't know which one is gonna pop off. Here's what I'll tell you, Jared. I'm I'd go Cup Cup over Woods. Why Because Cup is the guy who gets red zone targets. Cup is the guy in the slot. And the Vikings have some good cornerbacks themselves, Xavier, Bumpy Roads and their crew. Uh, so I would prioritize Cup. I guess over Woods, but

I understand that kind of weak to weak things. Strong style agrees with me going Lindsay. Uh. Pete, however, does not agree with me saying Lindsay is done. So that's the question right there, Jim Ross, I did not see your question, my friend, just yet. I'm sure I will a little bit later on. Let's keep it moving with my news and notes. Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldwin getting into limited practices. He might be trending in the right direction, okay,

Russell Wilson says he looks great. Uh. Doug Baldwin says he's chomping at the bit. He might get back into play, and boyd you the Seahawks offense need him. I'll tell you what though, this means Brandon Marshall is no longer a thing. Okay, if Doug Baldwin comes back, Brandon Marshall is not a thing. Get him out of any lineups who still have him in if Doug Baldwin comes back.

The last thing I'll say, Joey Bosa is gonna be out until after the Chargers by They are now saying they're saying that Joey Boza may not come back until halfway through the season week nine. They could have put him on I R designated to return. This is a big blow, all right, This is a huge blow in my opinion, to the Chargers hopes. I gotta tell you the truth. This is a problem for me. I think this is a big issue. Um. I don't like the Chargers as much anymore. UM. I think he has that

level of impact on that pass rush. It was to me, it was about Boza and Ingram creating more pressure than most teams could. They were like I picked them to go real far in the playoffs. Right. This gives me cost for pause. I guess Patty Mahomes in the a f C West also gives me cause for pause with my Chargers call. But this really does frustrate me. I think this is a legitimate issue for the Los Angeles Chargers. That notwithstanding, Let's go to the defenses that I want

to stream this week, and the Chargers are one of them. Okay, listen, the Chargers get lucky. Okay, they are at home. They fade the San Francisco forty Niners. Palms Jimmy g spot right, So I like that matchup. You got c J. Beat Hard going in there, and I think that the Chargers get back on the good foot. They need this game. Remember they are one and two. It's no slouts to have your two losses beat to the Chiefs and the Rams.

So it's okay. I still think that the Charges will be a playoff contender, um and but I like their defense this week against the non Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco forty Niners. Remember when c J. B Hard was the starting quarterback of the forty Niners last year, Remember how like the Niners will like one in ten When Jimmy Garoppolo took over that was c J. Bethard mostly. Okay, there was a little hier in there and evolved as well, but um that was c J. Bethard. That's what they

are reverting back to. Okay, and we know their struggles, Um, you know in terms of they've already lost McKinnon, they got a banged up Goodwin, that sort of thing. So I'm all over this Chargers defense as a streaming defense. And maybe you could have gotten them because remember last week they played the Rams, so people were off them. Some people may have dropped them. So you can go out and get the Chargers defense. That's one. I'll give

you another defense. I like Seattle, those Seattle Seahawks, same kind of reason. They're playing in Arizona. We saw what went down with Arizona when Sam Bradford was under center. He was playing games with like ninety passing yards before the game. All right, So I like Seattle this week against the rosen one and Arizona. I think it's gonna take some time, uh for Josh rosen to kind of get up to speed and really hit the ground running.

So this week I like Seattle as a defense that you can stream because a lot of people have been off Seattle right as a defense. So if they're available for you, I say, just like red Man, pick them up, pick them up. So the charges are one, Seattle is one, here's another one for you. Um and this sounds crazy.

I gotta tell you right now, this sounds crazy. It even sounds crazy for me to say it out loud, because this is a defense that I have been targeting to attack in DFS as recently as like a couple of weeks ago, all right, And I acknowledge that, but again it comes down to this bad offensive line that I'm attacking. You know, one of the offensive lines that I've been all over all season long that I think has been pissed poor, a dumpster fire, blunt, guts trash

is the Houston Texans. So I can see streaming the Indianapolis Colts this week, and I know you're being like Speeds, that's crazy. What are you talking about? The colts past defense is horrible. Yeah, But here's the thing, and I've made this point before. When it comes to defenses and fantasy, it's not about keeping the point total down, right, because that's very hard to do, and the difference between giving up fourteen points and twenty one points is like two

points in most leagues. Right, It's about sacks and turnovers. And I've told you that Deshaun Watson is now looking at the rush, not keeping his eyes down field. The Texans are giving up sacks left and right. The Indianapolis Colts are also tied for third in the NFL with tens sacks already in their first three games. So I think you could put down the Indianapolis Colts for four

sacks this week against Russell, not Russell Wilson, against DeShawn Watson. Okay, So I know it sounds crazy, but I'm looking for some sacks out of the Indianapolis Colts this week, and I think they become because of that, a viable streaming defense this week. Okay. So I like the Chargers, I like the Seahawks, and I like the Indianapolis Colts. As streaming defenses, those are the ones I'll give out. I know a lot of people are asking me about that.

Let's take a couple of questions from the stats over beat cipher. Here in the chat room, Javon Jackson says, I have Camara from my RB one good. I need to decide between Ekeler Lindsay, Aaron Jones or yelled in from my RB to listen. If there's no Leonard for Nett, then I like t J. Yeldon. But I think for Nette is trending in a direction where he will play. So for that, give me Philip Lindsay. I like the pass catching back against these Kansas City Chiefs. They're gonna

be in a shootout. Okay, the Broncos are gonna have to keep up with the Chiefs. What does that mean. It means the PPR back. That's Philip Lindsay on the field for a lot of the game. All Right, So I like Philip Lindsay as your RB two their javon uh says contraras Cousins or Andy Dalton. Listen. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm on Andy Dalton this week.

I really like Andy Dalton this week. And let me explain why, because when we come back after the break, I'm gonna be giving out my DFS lineup right, and uh, Andy Dalton's in it. Okay. So the Atlanta defense, their secondary, they lost Keyan O'Neil to a season ending injury. They lost Ricardo Allen to a season ending injury. They lost their cover linebacker Dion Jones to a season ending injury or he's on almost I are maybe to be returned. Right.

I like Andy Dalton. I like Andy Dalton attacking that that secondary that has been gotten hurt. Okay, and I and as you know, that offensive line has gotten a lot better. Everybody knows about the Rams defense, right, So, Alien Cousins, Okay, we got a couple more questions. I'm gonna to right after the break, But when come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna answer some questions. I'm gonna give out my DFS lineup, and then we're gonna open up the phones. Okay,

I'll give you the number to call. When we come back, we'll open up the phone lines and we'll answer your questions by phone.

But but all right, that's my DMX impersonation and welcome back to the Fantasy

Freestyle right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Strong Style, Give me Big Ben at Home, Give me Big Ben at Home. I love that. I think that's gonna be a higher scoring game than most people think. That total is up in the fifties as well. Sunday Night Football the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. This Steelers past defense. You saw what Ryan Fitzpatrick did against him last week.

That's why I even like Joe Flacco as a waiver ad if you need it right or as a back end, or as a QB two if you need it, as a streaming play, if you need it, I'm all over that game, Strong Style. I'm telling you right now, I had a guy. I had a guy on Facebook messenger hit me up and he sent me he sent me his like screenshot from like pan Door or whatever, and he was like, your speeds. You got this song in my head all the all week long. I can't get the song out of my head. You guys know what

song it was singing with me? It would be a It would be so nice. Golladay. There it is, all right, check it out. The number to call, guys, we canna start loading up the phone lines. And number to call is three four seven seven six seven six six one four. I'm gonna start taking your questions, but first I gotta give out my d f S lineup four week four. I already let the cat out of the bag, right that. I like Andy Dalton. Andy Dalton is going to be my QB this week. I told you I am attacking

this Atlanta secondary. Remember I also look at the totals. Okay, now let's start with the theory. First. I look at the high total games, right, and so you got Monday Night Football at fifty five, not on the slate. You got Sunday Night Football at fifty one, not on the slate. So the only other totals in the fifty is are the Cincinnati Bengals and the Atlanta Falcons at fifty two and a half, and then the Saints and Giants and

a surprising one in my opinion at fifty and a half. Okay, so just check to see how many uh Bengals, Falcons, Saints or Giants I have in this lineup? All right? Andy Dalton is my quarterback at seventy four hundred. I think that's a value. I think he's gonna be able to attack it. You know. I like the offensive line. They're saying a j Green maybe back, all right, so I think that's okay. It looks like mixing will not be back. It looks like mixing will be back four

week five. Um, so check that out all right. By the way, Jim Ross, that means mixing will be back by the time I see you and g s T. That's all I gotta say about that. Andy Dalton though the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninth, ninth most expensive quarterback. But I like the matchup against Atlanta and I think they he can be had. Atlanta is the twenty seventh ranked defense on the twenty six

against the past and just sustained another injury. He is my DFS quarterback this week, I'm stacking him with who with the tight end Tyler Eifford. Okay, this is just crazy to me. If you look, if you're on fan duel and you look at the tight ends in that game. What if I told you that Tyler Eifford is not even the most expensive Bengals tight end this week. C j Oo Sama is going at fort hundred on fan duel and Eifford is forty six hundred. Forty six hundred

is dirt cheap on fan duel. Eiffort has been healthy. His biggest issue is health. He has been healthy. Okay, I like Tyler Eifford against this defense that lost their coverage linebacker and both of their safety's. All right. I know the target share has been going down, but I expect this to be a Tyler Eiffort week. So give me Andy Dalton, give me Tyler Eifford. My running backs, Remember I said that other game that was a high

total about fifty one was the Saints and the Giants. Yeah, my two starting running backs this week, Alvin Kamara and say Kwan Barkley. These are guys that are actching twelve balls a game. I'll take that Alvin Kamara is like the number one running back in fantasy so far this season. I'll spend up for him. I will get him. I will spend up for him. I think he's gonna catch

another nine balls and get into the end zone this week. Remember, high total means production for those guys, say verse, if you're taking guys and like you know, oh, I don't know the Seattle Arizona game where the total is thirty nine. Okay, look at the game totals. I'm trying to not only give you a fish, I'm trying to teach you how to fish so you can win that cash. All right, So I'm going mixing excuse me. I'm going Kamara and Barkley at running back. I'm going Bengal Stack at quarterback,

tight end now at the wide receiver position. I spread it around a little bit, all right, I spread it around a little bit. I am looking for people to me that are on the ascension, okay, because I don't think it's caught up yet. First one for me is Jarvis Landry. Did you see the difference in Jarvis Landry when he had Baker playing quarterback last week? Then from when he had to rodd I expect that to continue. Jarvis Landry had only seven thousand. I think is a

good play. I think uh. I think Landry will be heavily, heavily targeted this week. Okay, Um, he had fifteen targets last week, A lot of that in the second half. Remember seven fo one oh six. I think he continues the upward trend. I think he becomes the Jarvis Landry we saw on Hard Knocks, the Jarvis Landry that people drafted early on. I think there's a return for that on Juice. I like him. This week it's seven thousand. Um, I'm back on Kenny Stills this week. I'm back on

Kenny Stills this week. Look at the game logs. Right, he had a great week one, bad week two, then had two touchdowns last week. Okay, here's the thing. I think Miami gets their first loss of the season. They go up to New England, right, I think New England is gonna boat race them. I think it's gonna be angry Belichick, angry Brady. What does that mean? It means that Miami is going to be in the position of chasing in the second half. Means they're gonna be in

their garbage time throwing the ball. I think Stills, who I've said a number of times is the number one wide receiver onto Miami Dolphins. I think he's going to be able to eat It's not even a touchdown depending call. The Pad's defense is also right now ranks. You saw it what the Detroit Lions were able to do against them last week. I do think they get back on the good foot. But I think Kenny Stills gets more

targets than the five he's gotten in other games. I don't know if he gets in the end zone per se, but I like the explosive potential there to get in the end zone. And I think Miami is gonna be throwing the ball a lot, trying to keep up with New England. And then who else do I got? We sung it before, We'll sing it again. He's only fifty eight hundred. How is our guy Golladay only fifty eight hundred? I look at this matchup in the game of Dallas Detroit.

You know he's the third most expensive Detroit Lions wide receiver. He is seven hundred dollars less than Marvin Jones. He's a thousand dollars less than Golden Tate for me would be so nice Golladay. So I'm going with Golladay, and then I'm going back to the well with Tevin Coleman as my flex. Okay, I'm going in that game Cincinnati Atlanta. I'm going in the other direction. Give me Sev for

Tevin Coleman in my flex. And remember how I said that this is the week that the fits magic runs out, right, that he's gonna be under pressure, that the Bears will pick him off. Right, He's gonna start throwing the ball to the other team, the Fitz magic will wear off. I'm doubling down on that. The Chicago Bears are my DFS defense this week. And here's the thing, the Bears

getting pressure. They are one of the highest scoring defenses, yet they're the fifth most expensive this week because people think that the fits magic is amazing. Not this week. I'm calling the magic to end this week and kind of after the buy it could be jamis right. So

give me the Chicago Bears as my DFS defense. So to recap, I'm going Andy Dalton, und Kamara and Barkley at eight thousand, respectively, Juice Landry seven thousand, holiday hundred, Kenny Stills at sixty four hundred, Tyler Eifford at the dirt cheap price of forty six hundred against that Atlanta Secondary and Keevin Coleman in my flex seventy two hundred, the Bears defense against Fitz Magic. That's wearing off at forty three hundred. So there you go. We go to

the phone lines right now. We got Sam in our nation's capital. Sam out in Washington, your first up here on the Fantasy Freestyle with the stats over beat Cipher and the spitting statistician. How can I help you? Sam? Just dropping the process of updating you. That's all right, that's all right. Let's go to Terry and CALLI though. We go to the West coast Terry and Cally. What's going on? They got a Thursday night football about to pop off in l A. How can we help you? Terry?

Terry going once? Terry going twice? Sold on, Terry, Let's try a third times a charm. We go down to Dallas. In tajas Nick in Dallas, you're on the line with the spitting statistician. I hope you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's good you on the line? What's up? Hm? I don't hear anybody. What do we got here, Danny, I can't hear anybody on the phone. Okay, fair enough, no problem. In the meantime, I'm gonna take a couple more questions from the chat room, okay, and then maybe we'll try

and go back to the uh. We'll try and go back to the callers, okay. So remember the number to call in at three four seven seven six seven four. We'll give that a shot a little bit later on. There are more questions though in the YouTube chat, so let me answer some of you guys right now. Jeremy Spence Woods or Tate in full PPR, they're both part of Fantasy Herds. I think Tate is the more. I think Tate is the shorer thing. Okay, so give me

Tate for the receptions. Okay, I think Tate is the shorer one, Jeremy, but it's kind of six and one half a dozen to the other. But give me golden Tate in that one. Mario Doroza Cook or Royce Freeman, give me Cook. Okay. I just told you I like Lindsay in that match up because they're gonna have to keep up with Kansas City, and it looks like Royce. Freeman is that early down back on a guy, and it looks like Freeman is the PPR kind of guy,

So give me cook. Despite the usage concerns that I do in fact have tonight, I still think Freeman is not gonna be on the field much Monday Night Football because I think Philip Lindsay will be Jose Lopez full point PPR, Lynch, Landry or Aaron Jones for the flex. I think I answered this already, Jose. I think I'm gonna answer this on Twitter or on Patreon. I think beast mode is the safe one, and late and Landry

it's kind of the pop off home run swing right. Um. But in full point PPR, Landry maybe even be higher. In full point PPR, I'll go Landry than Lynch, than Aaron Jones. It's not Aaron Jones and full point PPR give me the target monster that is Jarvis Landry. He's in my DFS line of for God's sakes, right, so I like him. Give me Juice Landry there. Um. And then someone's asking me, oh, it was you, Danny, asking me about some defenses, and I mentioned that I like

the Chicago Bears. At is my streaming defense. You're not streaming them, you probably they're owned. They're my DFS defense. But at the options you gave me, Mr Danny Otto give me the Chicago Bears all day long. We'll check in on the phone lines a little bit later on. Here's what I want to do in this segment. What we're gonna do is mine as well. Let me give

you my Thursday night preview. Okay, I'm gonna give you my Thursday night preview of this game where I'm gonna go over unders and with the point spread, that sort of thing. And then Danny, after that, we'll check in back with you and see if we got those phone lines on and popping. All right, So tonight, Rams Vikings, the thing for me is that, um. And by the way, we are having news, Dalvin Cook is officially active for

this one. Marcus Peters is also officially active for the game that's getting started in an hour here Thursday Night Football, Vikings, Rams, Dalvin Cook active, Marcus Peters active. Remember My concern though with Dalvin Cook is people get banged up on Thursday night, UM, and the use it may not be there because he's like just coming back now. I still think Latin Murray is going to have a share of this. But to the previous question, I'm still taking Cook over Royce Freeman

in that Monday night game. Um so Peters is active, Cook is active. Here's the way it's gonna play out, though, Um here's the Here's how I think it's gonna play out. I think this is gonna be close. Remember I told you last week that I thought the Rams stepped up in class to face the Chargers, and they did, and they still won that game by about eleven points. I think it was an eleven point game. They step up in class again this week, all right, and on the

short week, we think weird things happen. I think the Rams win the game, but I don't think they covered the spread. That's what it comes down to for me. I think they win this game, but I don't think they cover the spread. Depending on where you are, depending on where you're getting your lines, depending where you get your bets from, that sort of thing. Um, you could

see it at seven or seven and a half. At seven and a half, I love Minnesota plus seven and a half, you're telling me you're gonna give the Vikings and Kirk Cousins, who many people believe are playoff contender or a Super Bowl contender. You're gonna give them seven and a half points against anybody. I'll take it at seven. It could be a touchdown game. I could see a twenty kind of game. I think it's going to be close. Give me the points in this one, all right, Danny,

We're gonna give it a shot again. Right, it looks like we got a couple of callers. Let's give it another shot. Let's try Nick in Dallas. Nick and Dallas, are you there? Going once? Going twice? Sold? Danny, it sounds like we've got a bigger issue here with the phone. So we'll try and work that out maybe over the break, and if not, it means that we're gonna try and get plugged in another time. But we'll go back to the chat room. Okay, that's what we gotta do here

for now. I know my guys there down there in the fantasy pit of misery, we got the Uh, we got uh Cowboy Brian, we got Danny Otto, my man, we got Yang. Down there in the fantasy pit of misery. They're doing what we can to make it all pop off and sound good over here on the fantasy freestyle. Um, so we'll check that out in the meantime. Uh. Yeah, So I'm thinking. I'm thinking that this is a closer game than seven. Give me the Vikings plus seven points. Okay,

So that's where I like in the game. The total is interesting to me. Also, the total is forty nine and a half. I like the under in this game. You got two good defenses. I don't care if a key to leave is out. The Vikings and the Rams are two of the best five of the five best defenses in the NFL. I know the Rams offense has looked out of this world this year so far. I don't care. Okay, I think this game goes a little

bit under. This morning, I was talking to the King Scott Angle and uh he was saying, also he thinks this could be one of the first kind of duds on Thursday Night Football for the year. Then on the eight o'clock hour I talk to Mike Blewett on Nity Sports Today and he said, I think this could be one of the first duds of the year. He in fact went so far to say that he's going to take in his like official picks that we do like

a contest. We picked three games each week. He made the Minnesota Vikings Los Angeles Rams under forty nine and a half as one of his three best bets of the week, and I agree with him. All right, I think it is going to be uh under and give me Minnesota plus seven. That's the way I'm going with this. So far, I have been right on all of these Thursday night football games. I told you about the Browns open up the Victory Fridges. Uh last Thursday. I was

off on the season opener. I had Atlanta in the season opener and I but I also did tell you in the week to one how I liked Cincinnati. Everyone was on Baltimore week two because of what they did against Buffalo week one, and I was like, no, no, no, I'm more on Cincinnati in that one. Okay, So I have been. And also the home team has on every Thursday Night football Philly in week one since the in week two, the Cleveland Browns even in Week three, and

that means the Los Angeles Rams tonight. I think the Rams win the game, but I do think it is closer than some people may think. All Right, so here we go. I'm going back to the status over beat cipher. Um Hey, my pres saying, uh, agatting. You know, Billy Dilley's over here. That's what it is for clan. You know, we gotta love for everybody.

close one. Give me Tevin Coleman. Josh, I already told you. I like Tevin Coleman. That game I think is gonna be high scoring. I like the total in that game, high scoring in that one, and I have concerns with Dalvin Cook's usage. That's what it comes down to, Okay, my concerns on his usage, all right, Jim Ross, all right, yeah, the baseballers are pretty good.

You could listen to everybody you want, and to be quite honest, you know, Brett Smaller says, you listen to both. Nobody

So I'm trying to hit over. I'm trying to help people out. When I get messages saying that I helped you win Week three, or that I it was your first year playing Fantasy and you want a championship, it matters to me. Guys, all right. So I appreciate that we're gonna give it one more call

on the phone lines. We're gonna try it again. I appreciate my man Danny Otto down there as well, trying to make it happen. My man, this is my Spearmen Rhino friend, Jacob in vague Is. Let's give it a shot. Jacob, can I hear you? You're on the Free Style. Yeah, Dey Dealey, what up? Jacob? What's going on? I got you? What's up? Alright? Man? So I got um saying started questions. I can't listen to you on the weekend. You know what I'm saying. Um, all right, So I'm between Stills

and Hogan between yeah two right now. I'm not trying to make yeah so to meet. Gameflow is big one in this Okay, you gotta think about it, and I talked about game flow a lot. Generally speaking, what that means is that a team is up big in the second half, they're gonna be trying to run the ball. Right. The team that's down big in the second half, they're gonna have their bath pass catching back, their three wide set,

there no huddle, their wide receivers. I think the Patriots are gonna boat race the Dolphins this week, right, So I think in the second half that's a lot of the Patriots running the ball and a lot of the Dolphins throwing the ball. That's why I like my man the stereotype Sony Michelle this week, Jacob. So because of that, I might lean Stills and Hogan has defecated the mattress for people left and right. I want to see Hogan do something before I put them back in. Alright, Jacob,

what else you got? Brother man? And I love Andy Dalton this week. If you listen to the beginning of the show. I love Andy Dalton. This week the Atlanta Falcons okay, have been eviscerated in their past defense, both of their starting safeties, their coverage linebacker. I like the line the matchup for Andy Dalton this week, Carson went He didn't look like he was okay, right, but there on the road at Tennessee. I believe this week they got Tennessee. Is that on the road? Where is that?

Let's see, let me check that real quick for you. It is in Tennessee. Give me, yeah, give me Andy Dalton inside against the banged up secondary. Um over Carson Wentz in his second game back. All right there, Jacob, alright, man, fair enough, thank you sir. All right, check this out, um Danny. We're gonna look to get a couple more callers there. We got Bob and Vermont. What's going on? Bob? Are you doing? This is my first time calling Billy Billy, Bob,

welcome to the show. How can we help? From New York? Originally? All right, that's what's up? I'm from the Bronx, baby, what's up? Where are you at? I was born in the Bronx to alright, BX, represent m. How are you doing that? Open. Isn't that like Red Sox country up there? Yeah? But I mean Yankee fan? All right, I hope you are you behind enemy lines? How can I help you, Bob? For week four? Let's when you let's I went to Fan Neuel tonight and did you only picked five? Fight

this one? So you're going up to two if you win? Okay, So I got tired early as my m v P because you're like captain or whatever it is, right, yeah, yeah, fifteen times points. And then the fourth flex place is golf, you know, from the ram and Murray from the Minnesota and cut from the right from the ramps. I like that a lot. And let me tell him, Yeah, I do like it, Bob. And let me tell you why.

I've been telling people that I'm concerned with the Dalvin Cook usage, right, so that means Latin Murray may get more volume than people would have thought. And let Tavis Murray is the goal line back there anyway, when they're in tight, when they're in close, they're gonna give it to Lottavias Murray. Alright, So I like the Lottavius Murray play. Sure, make Girley my captain, right, he's an m VP candidate. I like that Jared Goff turn my head and golf. He has been amazing this year so far. So I

like that. And then the other thing you said was of the wide receivers. And this allows me to answer another question that I saw in the chat room earlier, who was asking, like, which is the best RAMS receiver tonight? I would go with Cooper Cup. Here's why the Minnesota Vikings have two strong cornerbacks, right, Cooper Cup is the guy in the slot that's not seeing their two major quarter cornerbacks. So I like Cup of the three wide receivers.

The problem is, and I've said this before, Bob and everybody in the cipher, there are a fantasy heard it could be someone else this week. I do like Cup, though he also gets the red zone targets, so I like that a lot. Okay, Bob, thanks for calling, Thanks for joining the show. I hope you win a little bit of extra cash if you do. Though, Hey, can I get like two if you win two thousand dollars? All right, Bob, I'm looking for like a free drink

or something like that. All right, let's take another call. We'll take one more call. Nick in Dallas. We tried to get to you before. I hope you're here now, Nick, what's up? Can I hear you you on the freestyle? Yeah? Yeah, dilly dilly, Nick, what's up? Alright? What's up? Man? And I just got a two quick questions. Um, we're not gotta running back problem. I got Dalvin Cook. Obviously I don't want to play him today, but I have no running back on my arm. So listen, you could go

with cook Man. Listen, let's not go dramatic. Okay, let's not go overboard here. I'm talking relatively speaking. I'm concerned about his usage, but like, if your other option is blunt, gut trash, then you gotta go cook. Remember someone else had a question of Cook or Royce Freeman, and I'm saying here calls for pauls on Cook. But it's all relative, right,

So who are your other options? Nick? Um? The main people I kind of picked out would be Theo Riddick, nine Hines, uh and probably Latin Murray, maybe Chris Ivory if doesn't play you know. Yeah. So here's the thing, though, you have to make this decision before you know about Lesenan McCoy. You gotta make this decision on Cook, like in the next half hour, and you don't know if McCoy is gonna play, right, So I would stay away from Ivory if you're right, if McCoy wasn't there, Uh,

than Ivory is the play. But you have to make this decision with with incomplete information, you know what I mean? Nick? So uh for that reason, Uh, I think you can go with Dalvin Cook. I am concerned about him and his usage and his not being at a hundred percent health right on Thursday night football. I am concerned. But given the other options that you're talking about, I don't like Theo Riddick. I believe, to be honest, that carry on Johnson is gonna start to eat into his passing work. Um,

I forget the other guy. You said, Oh, Latin Murray. You know that's intriguing. That's intriguing to me, right, But what are you gonna do? Cook or Murray? Right, You're like choosing which Viking you like better. Um, that's intriguing. I could say that if you are, if you're that worried about the injury, or about the Rams defense, or about anything like that, then I guess lat Murray. But that's kind of go with your gut on that one.

All right, that that's what I would say. But if you put a gun to my head, go ahead and start Dalvin Cook all right, Nick, I don't appreciate your anytime, brother man, alright, any time, but the man all right? Fair again? Oh, Perry, I am Bob from Vermont, Perry ing asking me if I trust Cris Carson, Goff or Watson. I love golf. Oh with the bonus for forty yards, I still love golf. He throwed a bowl deep. Brandon

Cooks is a deep threat. These guys can break it. Um. You know, Todd Gurley taking a screen fifty yards could do it. Okay, Um, So there you go, Robert Woods over Brandon Cooks as be nuts for the rest of the season. Hot take. I don't think that's hot. That hot. Um. I think that's very possible. I think that's very possible. All right, quite frankly, all right, Dilly Dilley to everybody, here's what I want to do. Danny, we've got limited time left in the show. I gotta tell you you

know how we did the Game of Inches on Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, and we had that tie hundred thirty two point one to a hundred thirty two point one. So that's a quality nomination, It really is. That's a quality nomination. I got two more though, I got two people Red Foreman, Big shout out, Dilly Dilley and Boole A twelve nineteen Dilly, Dilly, check this out. Danny and I've been waiting for this.

I've been waiting for this. Both of them lost by like roughly two tenths of a point point too, right they Um, they both had big Ben had a good game. But then at the very end of Danny, what happens at the very end of games when the team is up and there need to just run out the last minute and a half, what do offenses do? They just kneel? They just kneel. What are those technically? What do you think that technically is scored as negative? That scored as

a negative one yard rush by the quarterback. So, um, and if you were watching this game, big Ben like normal quarterbacks to take snap and kneel right down. Big Ben for some reason took the snap and like back pedaled for two or three steps and then kneel down. Okay, so big Ben had to kneel down two or three times.

That's minus point to minus point three right there. These guys lost both boot at twelve nineteen and Red Foreman lost by point to this week with Big Ben, and it was the kneel downs at the very end of Monday Night football. So imagine this, Danny. You were like winning your matchup by point one and then Big Ben starts to kneel down and you see it happen, and you're like, oh snap, he just lost the yard, and then you're tied, and then he does it again. You're like,

oh snap, he lost the yard. And then you're down by point one and he does it again and you're like, oh snap, I just lost by two tenths of a m F point hashtag literally game of inches, Danny, What do you feel about that? One's damn damn is right? All right? So so talk to me, though, Danny losing because of the Big Ben kneel downs? Or what about my man Big voes you with the last play of the game that DeAndre Hopkins when Deshaun Watson crossed the

line of scrimmage stuff? What's worse? I think that one's still worse. The Houston Texans one is worse than your quarterback kneel downs. Is that worse than having a tie A hundred thirty two point one to two point one. See, that was just intriguing. I want to see how how does see what happens it matters for the playoffs in

the running just because of that. Yeah, alright, so Irwin, g make sure you keep us posted on your team throughout the season because if you're like in sixth place going in to the last week of the season, I want to have you call in the show. I want to really discuss this with you. Also, I got a good announcement to make you guys know how we got the trap game. My estros, you've seen how the spitting

statistician will drop a verse on you. Yo, I'm back in the lab when my man Kenneth Cashman representing Rhodo where okay, we're gonna do a little collabor We're gonna drop a track in the next couple of weeks and I'm going to have my man Kenneth Cashman joined the show Fantasy Freestyle. He is the road Away Commissioner, the founder and executive director CEO of Rhodo, where he's gonna

get down with the stats over beat Cipher. We're gonna debut a new track that we are doing as a collabo together, and we're gonna have him judge some of these Game of Inches nominees so far, and he's gonna tell you all the special prizes and gifts and love that he's gonna give to the stats over beat cipher. Danny.

I'm excited about that. A little bit later on. We'll do that probably close to Halloween, maybe halfway through the season, because we gotta get in the lab and record, and then, uh, I want to have him on and judge some of these guys so far. So so far, I think our top four, Danny are big vos. The Hopkins catch on the last play with the penalty that should been called

that never was called. Um, I think we got Irwin g the one thirty two point one, the one thirty two point one tie, and then these two guys blue A twelve nineteen and Red Foreman who lost by two tents of a point because of the big ben kneel downs. What do you say, Yeah, alright, cool, cool, cool, That's what it is. You know, it's strong style. I dropped knowledge and I dropped bars. Chronicle, Baby represent chronicle, go

search for me on iTunes. We three albums deep. The last one on iTunes that you can find is called Drinking on a Tuesday. Um, how do I feel about Doug Baldwin moving forward, Carlos? I want to see him, But if he's back, I like him. If I like if if if if, UM, if I see him, I like him, I'd start him right away. Okay. I think he's gonna be a critical part of that offense, and he's gonna be like the security blanket for Russell Wilson. He knows he can go to Doug Baldwin. He trusts

Doug Baldwin. So I like that, all right. Hey, Jim Ross, you're talking to uh. I know you're not talking to me. I know you ain't talking to me, brother man. It's all love. I hope Pretty in Pink was good to Jim Ross, all right. And I hope you know also JR. That Uh, I talked to our guys over at GST. They have to change some things. You are now listed where you should be. Big shout out to my man Jim Ross. Okay, I want to give him a shout out.

We're in a big time league together. The Greenwich Street tavern. You may have heard of it before. And my man, Jim Ross is killing it right now. He is three and oh right now. I'm middling right there in the sixth position overall. Jim Ross is undefeated at three and oh with the second highest point total in the league. Definitely doing his thing. But you know why because he listens to the Fantasy Sports radio network. He's down with the stats over beat Cipher. He's with the best friends forever,

He's with the goon squad. He represents this network. He takes all that information and then he applies it to go three and oh. Big shout out to you, Jim Ross. I hope you and your wife enjoyed pretty in pink on Tuesday. Alright, brother man, um, so there you go. All right, um, And here's the thing again. The last thing for my people on Twitter, my people on Patreon. When you're asking me questions, I answer the question. But

it's your team. A lot of times I say this back and forth with people because then they're like, oh, but what about this? Did you consider this? Yes? I considered everything, and I gave you my opinion. If you want to go the other way, it's your team. It's all good, all right. And this is what I tell people a lot, and I'm not trying to be snarky, right, I say, the beauty of fantasy is that ultimately it's

up to you. It's your team, to be honest. I get confused sometimes because to me, the joy of fantasy, the fun of fantasy, right is agonizing over these decisions and making the call and then being right. You know. But when people like ask me the questions, it's almost as though they're outsourcing the accountability to me. Right. There's because I then I just went with what you said, and if it's bad, you'd be like, why did I

listen to you? To me, that's the joy. The draft is the fun part, picking your players, deciding who to pick up, deciding who to start. That's the fun part. That's why we do this crazy game. I love it, you love it. Make those choices. Go with your gut. I understand getting the insight and analysis from experts like myself, right, but ultimately it is your team, live and die with your decisions. The worst thing to do is to be like, ah, I wish I would have done that, and then go

away from what your gut tells you and be wrong. Okay, so listen I'll give you my thoughts, I'll give you my opinions, I give you my analysis, but ultimately it is your team, all right, and I'm here to support you. The stats over beat Cipher is here to support you. You're right, strong style, it's fun and it's frustrating, but that's why we here, and that's why we love it. Dilly dilly to everybody. I think Minnesota wins, I'm excuse me.

The Rams win tonight, but do not cover. I'll see you next time week five, but catch me Monday through Friday, seven and nine. Am giving you what you need to win your leaves and win that cash. Peace, Am I does your fantasy team suck? Maybe you need us? The Fantasy Sports Radio Network, the only three four seven fantasy sports radio network. Yeah,
