And welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Episode three hundred and thirty four, we're making it pop with the stats overbeat Cipher. We
got a good show for you. As we slide on in two week five of the NFL season, It's gonna get kicked off in about an hour hour and a half as the New England Patriots host the Indianapolis Colts. Point spread is about ten over under is about fifty. I'll let you know what I think on tonight's game. A little bit later on in the show two weeks ago, I told you that the Victory Fridges would get opened. Last week, I told you that I liked Minnesota plus the seven and a half, and they lost my seven.
So I'm I'm doing all right over here. Yeah, I know we talked about that over on the last time, but I digress. Listen a lot of ways to find me here. You could be watching on YouTube, okay, You'll be watching on Twitter, on Twitch, on Facebook live, al right, it don't matter. Follow me on Twitter at Spitting Speed's good looks at the stats, overbeat Cipher on that Patreon. Okay, listen to my man Lanz Davis and strong Style. Though I'm gonna need you how to smash that like button.
I want to see a climb throughout the show. If you follow me on Twitter at Spitting Speeds, you will see that we got a poll question up and I think this is very interesting. This one has been hovering around fifty fifty the entire time. One of the matchups that I want to preview tonight for the week five kind of Spotlight Games is the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Kansas City Chiefs, or as I like to call it,
the unstoppable force Kansas City against the immovable object. Right. So, then when I saw the point total over on my bookie dot ag for this game, I saw there was forty nine, and I was like, you know, that's kind of high. That makes me think that Vegas thinks that the Chiefs offense might run the day. And so I'm asking you what do y'all think. We got a lot of votes, are already it is hovering. What do you
think about that point total of forty nine? Would you go over and you really think the offenses will happen in Arrowhead on Sunday? Or do you go under and think that that Jacksonville defense Saxonville, the cat scratch fever can even stop my homes? You know? All right? So that's what we're gonna get into talk about that. We'll talk about the other Spotlight games. I will give you defenses to stream, which is what I always do here
on a Thursday. I'll give you some dfs, you know, news and notes and looks, and we will answer your questions both from the YouTube chat room and when we open the phones, y'all can holler at me and be part of the show. Part of the fantasy freestyle by Holler and at the spitting statistician. All right, let's get into it. Here's what I have seen since we last
spoke on Tuesday. First of all, on Tuesday, I was like, Yo, I'm gonna tell you right now though, I'm gonna get an alert on my phone that says DeAndre Hopkins's status has been changed from questions from healthy to questionable. Yeah, and it happened. Do not worry about it. Okay, even at this point in the week, it's a Thursday, I'm gonna reel off some names. But what you want is
them trending in the right direction. There's gonna be a lot of people every single week that get a d NP on Wednesday, but then get limited on Thursday or limited on Friday. Upgrade. It's a full over the weekend. That's what you want to see, Okay. These Wednesday and Thursday practice reports are really just the baseline that they're working from. You want to see them trending in the
right direction. So for example, Giovanni Bernard with a knee, Marcy's Goodwin with a hammy um Callaway with a knee, Jarvis Landry with a knee um in Washington, Adrian Peterson with an ankle and Philly Corey Clement Alson Jeffrey Darren Sprawls all not practicing or limited in practice. In Green Bay. A Rod was d NP yesterday, back to participating today, Randall Cobb with that hammy. Geronimo Allison is still in the concussion protocol. Sterling Shepard, He's got a back. It's
like my neck, my back. You know what is that? Kalise? Is that what that was? Kalise hit me up on the status of beats chat room. All right, let me know if it was that Kalise's song my neck, my back, my am my grand You know what I'm saying. These people are messed up all over the place. Larry fits he's got a back and a hammy. Here's the thing. One person that's trending in the wrong direction is Alex Collins of the Baltimore Ravens. He was limited on Wednesday,
d NP on Thursday. That's trending in the wrong direction. There are reports that they're just holding them out because they want to manage his reps. They say that they want him like good to go and on for when the Ravens take on the Cleveland Browns this week. I actually believe I've told you this before. I actually believe that this is gonna be Buck Allen's time in Baltimore. Okay, um Alice Collins has fumbled the ball way too much. Think about last Sunday night. Okay, the Ravens were dump
trucking the Steelers. They were up fourteen nothing and about to go in again. Alex Collins fumbled on like the two yard line. Then Pittsburgh comes back, you know, and start scoring, and all of a sudden, it's fourteen fourteen when it should have been twenty one nothing, all right, and uh Hobbos said it over the week, can't have it with these fumbles. Buck Allen has looked good, so yeah, he's d NP today. But I'm worried about Buck Allen anyway. You know what I mean. I think Buck Allen is
gonna be this guy anyway. So I'm telling you right now now, Collins is one of those guys. And I hate to tell you this guy's but sometimes you just got a grin and Barrett, right, Collins is gonna be a guy who No, I do not recommend that you cut him I don't. Okay, Um, there may be some situations where you gotta pick up someone you know, a
tight end. There's something because just so eviscerated at tight end and you and he's literally the low man, and you're totem Paul, and you're kind of a force to or like I am. In some leagues. By the way, Brian C. If you're in the chat room, hollow at me. I see you this week in our Grenni Street Tavern league. Okay. And so for example, in that league, I have the Bears defense. I have decided I am going to hold their defense through the by right, so I gotta carry
a second defense this week. I'll tell you which one I am. It's one of these defenses. I'm telling you to stream. It's the Tennessee Titans against the Miami Dolphins. I'll tell you why a little bit in the next segment. Right. So, I understand that there's certain things, but no, I would not drop Alex Collins. No, I would not trade Alex Collins because right now you're not getting full value back
for Alex Collins. Okay, So what you gotta wind up doing, unfortunately, is just leave him on your bench and hope you know, I hope there's sunnier pastures ahead. That's what you gotta do. Okay, a lot of these guys you can't really drop. You can't get any kind of value for them. If you're okay getting sixty cents on the dollar as you do, you right, But sometimes you gotta just grin and bear it and hold these guys and hope that, you know,
something else happens that improves their potential. You know, that's what you gotta do. And that's what you gotta do. A lot of these guys. I've been saying, that's what you gotta do with guys like um. I said that with Chris Hogan, although now I think you can cut him. You know, there's a lot of people that have um Nelson Aghalore. There's a lot of people that have been kind of descending in this way, and you gotta just hold him, all right, um so, I said, Alic Collins
is trending in the wrong way. Note this though Robbie Anderson, New York Jets wide receiver, he got in some issues with the law over the off season. Remember he was going to do interesting things to the officer's wife. If you remember the NFL has come out though, and said that they will not be suspending Robby Anderson for those season arrests. Okay, here's the thing, though, Robby Anderson is cuttible. I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.
Quincy e noon Wa is the number one wide receiver for the New York Jets, gets the most targets, gets the most production. Sam Donald has eyes for him. I expect that to be the case. They played Denver this week. Okay, good secondary, good cornerbacks. Right, so I think Robbie gets uh, you know, covered well again, and they're gonna use those quick bubble screens, those little inside slants and stuff to a noon while. That's how they're gonna make Hey in
New York this Sunday. But also listen the game that starts in an hour. Lots of injuries. Okay, uh t Y Hilton, no go, Jack Doyle, no go, Marlon Mack no go. For those reasons like think about who we're talking about now with Indie, right, I believe not heim Hines is a very interesting PPR play with no mac Jordan Wilkins has shown he can't do it. Robert Turban, however, is coming back for the Indianapolis Colts after four game suspension tonight, right, um, and he might have an opportunity
to be that early down back. I think he might do better than Jordan Wilkins did. But not hem Hinds is the past catching back, and I believe the Cults are going to be down big in the second half of this game, so I think the PPR back, not hem Hinds, It's gonna be on the field and get a lot of snaps. So I like Nahim Hinds. And then you got Ryan Grant and Chester Rogers. I don't love these guys, but I tell you all the time, fantasy football is about skill and opportunity. The skill of
these guys, I'm like, but the opportunity is what I love. Tonight. They are going to be down Andrew Luck's gonna put it up in my opinion about forty five fifty times. Who else is going to catch the ball? Not hem Hinds, Eric Ebron, and it's Grant and it's Rogers. So those guys are very very interesting, all right, my um. One thing on the other side, as you know, the big injury is Rob Gronkowski, and I'm conflicted. Last week on
this show in this very kind of time frame. I was telling you people all about, oh, what about Dalvin Cook? What about Dalvin Cook? He's gonna play? What about Dalvin Cook? He's gonna be active. Oh my god, I gotta play Dalvin Cook. What do we do with Dalvin Cook? It's against the Rams, blah blah blah. And I was like, slow down, I think that even if Dalvin Cook plays, I'm concerned because the Thursday Night Quick Turnaround, I was worried about his usage, and as you saw, he started
the game didn't really finish it. I am concerned about Rob gron Kelsey's usage tonight. Okay, I don't know. They gotta returning Julian Edelman. They're gonna want to get him involved. Josh Gordon, they want to get him involved. Right. You know about James White in the passing game. You know about my guy the stereotype, Sony Michelle. Hey, guys in the chat room over there, give me a little Mitsubishi, give me the little Patissan and give me some more
those stereotypes. All right there? What's going on, Jr? What's going on? Lance Davis? Give me some more stereotypes out there. That's what I'm talking about all right, d Gold fifteen hit me up, um, and I think they're gonna get up big, and then I think they're gonna be like, hey, Gronk, thanks, you could rest the rest of this one, you know what I mean? And that would be my concern about Rob Gronkowski. Listen, there's no real good tight ends left
much anymore. But Jared Cook, I'm starting over Gronk this week. Vance McDonald, I'm starting over Gronk this week. But if you go too far down, like I would still start Gronk over like a David and Joku, I would still start Gronk over a you know, one of these other backup tight ends like the reet Ellison's that are coming on in and stuff like that. But I'm concerned about Gronk, I must admit it. But I understand if you gotta run him out there. Yeah, Lens Davis, you know what
it is, stable genius. Ha. All right, so let's get it on here. Let me tell you a little bit about some DFS thoughts. All right, Um, Last week, Ryan Mallison shout out to the Patreon subscriber status would beat Cipher. Ryan Mallison was like, yo, I like the DFS lineup. He tinkered winning a little bit. He got something like a hundred seventy five something like that. One A little bit of guiche. That's what I'm trying to do for you, Okay.
I always talk about the game aims, stacks for DFS, what game is going to have the most production, because that's what I want. And what do I do. I go on over to my bookie dot A G and I checked the totals and we've got a total of fifty eight right now in this Atlanta Falcons Pittsburgh Steelers game. Fifty eight. Okay, as you know, I have been on you know, uh targeting attacking the Atlanta Falcons defense. I've
been saying that for the last few weeks. Remember I had the Andy Dalton Tyler Eifford stack in my lineup last week against the Atlanta Falcons, right, So that Falcons defense, no safeties, no Dion Jones. Right. And now you got Pittsburgh involved in there. Great and you saw the Pittsburgh defense and how people are putting up work against them. Atlanta has the horses to do that. This total at fifty eight makes sense to me. And I got a lot of Steelers and Falcons in my DFS lineup. I
got Matt Ryan as my DFS quarterback this week. He's quarterback like number two in all Fantasy okay um, And so you know, I think he's getting underrespected. Matt Ryan. He's the one two most expensive quarterback today. But in a plus matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are literally thirty in the NFL defensively twenty nine in the NFL against the past, I like that. And then when I was talking about on the flip side, the Atlanta defense
in the NFL against the past, I like that. So I got Maddie Ryan in my DFS lineup at eight three hundred. I'm stacking him with the beast that cannot be stopped. I'm talking about Julio Jones, all right. I know he's limited in practice, but he's always limited in practice. That little questionable tag near his name doesn't bother me worth a damn all right, So I'm stacking him with Julio Jones. He's the one that I think I'm gonna differentiate myself with. I'm running to Vonta Freeman back in
my lineup. Yeah, I said it. I'm running to Vonta Freeman back in my line and I think he's back after being out on the shelf of like the last month. And now, remember Tevin Coleman is also on the injury report, so I'm intrigued by Freeman. I think there'll be a lot of points scored in this game. Freeman also is a prime target for Mattie ice Um in the past game as well. So I got matt Ryan, I got Dvante Freeman, and Julio Jones in my lineup from this game. And then on the other side, I told you I
like this tight end. I don't know how he's only forty SI dollars. Give me Vance McDonald. I've been on Vance McDonald for the last three weeks. Hopefully people are listening to me by now. I think he can have some good players. Remember Dion Jones is that coverage linebacker and he's not there for the Falcons, so I think McDonald could eat a little bit. Let me tell you some other guys that I like. My other running back this week. It's gonna be Aaron Jones in Green Bay.
I like Aaron Jones. Okay, first of all, they're facing the Detroit Lions, who are last in the League against the run. I think Aaron Jones continues his ascemption over Jamal Williams because I think he's just the best all around back that the Packers have. I think they're going to score some points, and I think six hundred is an interesting value. Okay, so I like that. Now I'm gonna give you my other two wide receivers. I already told you about Julio Jones. Let me give you my
other two wide receivers. Okay, First of all, I go to that Los Angeles Rams Seattle Seahawks game and check this out. You know the fantasy herd I talk about all the time. Well, Brandon Cooks is going at seventy eight hundred, Robert Woods is going at seventy undred, and Cooper Cup is going at sixty seven hundred. Give me Cooper Cup. I think he's the best Rams wide receiver anyway. I've been telling you that. I think he's the leader of the herd. He's the one that gets red zone targets,
and he's the cheapest one. I think there's value there. I think he's the best of the three. Fan Blue has him listed as the third of the three. Give me Cooper Cup. In the same vein. You know what it is, guys in that Green Bay Detroit game, Golden Tate at seventy four hundred, Marvin Jones at seventy undred, and then my guy is only seventy three hundred singing with me. It would be it would be some nice Gola day Kenny Golladay finds his way in my lineup.
I'm also listen, I'm putting Christi McAffrey because I had enough money. I'm paying the eight one hundred to get Christian McCaffrey in my flex spot. I think Christian McCaffrey is going to do work against the New York Giants this week. I think it is possible for Christian McCaffrey to wind up catching. Oh I don't know. Give me eight catches for Christian McCaffrey and fifty on the ground rushing. I think he's a stud play. I'm paying the eight
one hundred dollars. I will tell you my defense right now, but they are going to be one of my streaming defenses as well. So I am going against the Miami Dolphins. I don't like what I saw on their offense. Brock Oswiler got in there in the second road game in a row in Cincinnati. I like that defensive front Gino Atkins and the crew only thirty nine hundred. They are my DFS defense, the Cincinnati Bengals. Those are my df spots.
When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, I give you defenses to stream, I preview some spotlight games, and we open the phone line.

stable genius and vocal minority. Big shout out as always to my crew, main dude to the stats over beat cipher strong style is right. Smash that, like button. I'm up to eight. I want to get up to at least forty by the end of the show. Lance Davis, you got a question about DJ Moore. Are we gonna see his ascension now after the bye? I think that's possible. I think that is possible, but it's not something I
would bank on. Okay, Lance, this is something I do think could happen, but I would want to see it before I invest in it. That's not something I'm gonna get ahead of the curve in and take it as a spec flyer in fantasy. Okay, I want to see that a little bit more. And Jeremy out there, Yo, dilly dilly to you too, my friend. Okay, I see what you're doing over there, blazing them down by all right, that's what I'm saying. All right, the light buttons are
starting to hit, But yo, smash that. You know what it is here my lineup versus everybody rotor ware represent All right, here's what we're gonna do here is what we are going to do. I'm gonna give you these defenses that I like to stream this week. I told you Cincinnati is one of them. I like Cincinnati. It's a fade against the Miami Dolphins. Okay, remember Miami we were talking about when when they were in Florida in September and teams were coming down, they couldn't beat the heat. Right.
What my ami do away from home the last week in New England pretty much a bagel right at the very end, gore with a garbage touchdown. Right. They are now for the second week in a row, back to back road games in Cincinnati, and Cincinnati is a much better team at home. I like the Cincinnati defense. I like the Cincinnati defensive line specifically. I think Geno Atkins can have a little bit of a field day. People been saying, oh, I can't start Kenyan Drake right right,
you know this is why. So they are definitely one of the defenses that you can stream this week. Let me tell you my number one defense to stream this week. The number one defense for me to stream this week is the Tennessee Titans. I love me the Tennessee Titans this week is a streaming defense if you can get them. I'm checking them right now, and they are so maybe a lot of people try to get them on waivers. But Tennessee is, let's see, out of the game. Out
of the teams who have played four games. I'm talking about in terms of points alloud, right, you know? So we take Washington out, we take Carolina out because they've only played three games. Remember they had there by last week. Given that Tennessee is one two, three four, fifth in the league in terms of points allowed, the Bears on one of the teams that are ahead of them, So they're the fourth best team playing this week in terms of points allowed. And they go to Buffalo and Josh
Allen is gonna make some mistakes. Josh Allen's gonna get sacked a couple of times. Right, So I love the Tennessee defense as a stream I told you about the Cincinnati defense. One other defense that I do like as a streamer, I would stream the Carolina Panthers coming off there by at home welcoming the New York Football Giants. Okay, and the Giants their offensive line is still a problem. I think this front seven of Carolina can get some pressure. Um,
I like the Carolina defense as well. The Carolina defense in three games has only given up sixty points so far. That's twenty points a game. I think they give up less than that against the Giants. And here's the last one I'll of you and this one, Um, you may be like, I don't know how I feel about them, but again it's a play on the opponent. I'm fading c J. Be Hard, c J. Bethord. And the San
Francisco forty nine is the Arizona Cardinals defense. UM against San Francisco is some as a team that you could grab if you know, if if you need it, all right, I think they can keep the score down against San Francisco this week. Alright, So there's some streaming defenses for you in order. For me, it would be Tennessee, Cincinnati, Carolina,
and Arizona those excuse me, yes, in Arizona. Those are a couple of defenses you could target if you you know, have the Bears on a by or you know you have a Jacksonville and you're worried about a match up against Kansas City, for example. But that brings me again to the pole question. I kid you not right now.
The poll is literally fifty fifty. Where do you lean the over or the under on this game total of forty nine points, it is fifty fifty right now, make your voice heard, follow me at spitting speeds and you can vote on the pole as well. All right, is we're gonna do next? As we keep it moving, let me answer some questions from the chat room. Alright, a lot of you guys are making it pop. You know I love my stats over beat Cipher. We want to
help you win your leagues and win that cash. Michael Jackson asks Edelman, Joanes, Marvin Jones or Marie Cooper picked two in a PPR format. Give me Julian Edelman tonight. Remember, I think Gronk is banged up. I think he's gonna fade into Bolivian tonight. When they're up, I think they're gonna feed Julian Edelman. I think they're gonna try and get him going. I would not be surprised if, like on the Pat's first drive, Tom Brady targets Edelman like
three times. I would not be surprised if the first play of the game is Brady to Julian Edelman. So Edelman is one of them, Michael Jackson, and as far as Marvin Jones or Marie Cooper, Um, I'll take Amari Cooper. I think they're gonna they got a force feed Amari Cooper against the Chargers. I think that's gonna be a kind of back and forth kind of game. I like the Charges to win the game. But um, I would take Cooper over Marvin Jones because remember I think Kenny
Golladay has hopped over him. So there you go, Michael Jackson. Hope that helps. Um. Alfonso l Luck or Manning, give me Andrew Luck tonight. Okay, the Colts have no running game to speak of. I'll say it again, the Colts have had no running game to speak of. Jordan Wilkins has defecated the mattress with his opportunities, Marlon Mack his blunt, guts trash with those injuries. We'll see what Robin Turban does.
But here's the thing, Alfonso, I like Luck because I think he's gonna throw the ball forty five or fifty times tonight, and they're gonna be down against New England. So I think there is definitely potential for some garbage time tonight. I like Andrew Luck over Eli this week, Uh, sector Lindsay or Josh Gordon in the flex if it's PPR, give me Lindsay to be honest, regardless, give me Lindsay.
I think Lindsay is gonna have a decent game. Lindsay and Royce Freeman I think can actually do a little bit of work against the Jets this week on Sunday, Mario O d start luck Flacco or Mariota. All right. You know I had luck up over Manning. I definitely have luck over Mariota. So it's between Luck or Flacco for me that Cleveland Brown's defense is a little bit better than people think. Give me luck. All right. J C is asking Jared Goff or Tom Brady tonight. That
is interesting. Listen, I'm going Jared Goff. We're going Jared Goff. Dude has been amazing in the last couple of weeks, and and and you know, and I do believe tonight, as I've said, I think the stereotype gets in the end zone here my man Sony Michelle, I think, um, I think the Pats parked the bus a little bit in the second half, so I would go Goff. Alright, j c Uh, that's what I'm saying right there, Thank you to the status over beat cipher. We're close. Now
we're at thirty three likes. Let's go, let's go, let's get a little bit more. All right, here's what I want to do. I'm going to give out the phone number right now. I'm gonna give you guys the phone number. The number to call is three four seven seven six seven six six one four. My man, cowboy Brian In turns down there. Put that in the chat room right there, so people have it. Three four seven seven six seven
six six one four. What I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna preview some of my spotlight games that I think are really really interesting, and then we're gonna go to the phone lines and take a couple of calls. You know what it is, Yasa, Yes, Snorkel, what's up. Let's get it to forty five? Man, we only had thirty three right now. And that's funny. Thirty three and forty five that used to be the speeds of the records back in the day. Am I dating myself thirty three
speed to forty five speed? So let's get it up right now. We up to thirty nine. That's what I'm talking about all right, spotlight games for me. I'm telling you about this Atlanta Pittsburgh game. The fifty eight total. There's gonna be points in this game. Give me Pittsburgh though, Remember I said it when I had Cincinnati over Atlanta last week. I think this is gonna be a last team with the ball kind of thing, and I trust Big Ben to turn it into touchdowns. Matt ran still struggles,
you know, with those red zones sometimes. I like Pittsburgh in that game over Atlanta. The non conference road game is never easy, especially for a team like Atlanto's used to be in the confines of the dome coming outside to take on Pittsburgh and Big Ben at Hines Field, I think that's a problem giving me Pittsburgh in that game. Kansas City in Jacksonville, Kansas City Chiefs scored twenty seven
points last week Monday Night Football against Denver. Given it was at Denver, but that was their first taste of like a stout defense, and Patty Mahomes had a good game. He went over three d yards I think was like three hundred four yards through before a touchdown, ran four touchdown. They put up twenty seven points. But this Jacksonville defense, I think is a different animal, but it's an arrowhead. The question as Clayton tray Hand, in my opinion, accurately
identifies Clayton tray Hand. Friend of the show says, it's not so much what Mahomes in the Chief's offense can do, but what the Chiefs defense can't do. The question is that Bordles is capable of big passing games, and Clayton is right. But I also think that Jacksonville may try to grind in out time of possession, run the ball a little bit more. T J. Yeldon has shown himself able to do that to keep Patty Mahomes and that offense off the field a little bit. I think this
game is the under. I think fifty excuse me, forty nine is just too many. I think it's the under. I think the Jags defense does what it can do. I can see it as like a twenty kind of game. I can see it as like a twenty seventeen kind of game. Al Right. I think it's under ultimately though, because I think the Chief's scheme will rule the day. I think that you know, this kind of Andy Reid scheme and the big twelve kind of offense with the
jet sweeps and all this stuff going on. The creativity is different than what the Jacksonville Jaguars have seen for most of this season. They just straight up line up and and and play you straight up right like the Seahawks used to, and that works against most offenses. I think the Chiefs are gonna be slightly different. I like
Kansas City in this game to keep it going. Another game that I really think is interesting here is an NFC matchup in the late window, the afternoon window here in the East Coast game and maybe America's game of the week, um, the Minnesota Vikings come to Philly to take on the Eagles. Vikings Eagles. These are two teams going into the season that a lot of people thought we're gonna be playing deep into January, right. I lean Philly in this one. There are a three point favorite.
Let me tell you why I lean Philly on this one. What is the biggest issue from Minnesota. I've talked about this their offensive line. You see how they can't get the run game going. What does Philly have as a strength on defense? Their defensive line and rotation. I think they are going to get after Kirk Cousins. Don't get me wrong, Cousin is gonna make some plays to Stephen jan You digs it and Adam got right. But um, I think they're gonna get some pressure. So I like
the Philadelphia Eagles in this one. I also think that Monday Night is very very interesting. Uh you know, me and my man Yang down there in the fantasy pit of misery down there. I like New Orleans. I think they boat race them, to be quite honest, I think mark Ingram adds something to this offense, the balance that they were needing before. And I just don't Washington with Alex Smith just does not impress me right now as a as a team that can keep up with the Saints.
So so I like New Orleans in that one. I gave you some picks, um my Survivor picks. If you need the Patriots this week, go grab him now, and I recommend that. Um. I'm also on New Orleans as a Survivor pick. Sorry, Yang, I'm also on Carolina. I think they win big against the Giants. I don't think the Giants can come in there and get a w after with arrested Cam Newton and Christian McCaffrey coming off there by, and I think since Sinnati would be a decent play as well. I do not believe in the
Miami Dolphins outside of Florida. All right, UM, let's go to the phones. Let's go to the phones. We have some callers. Thank you to the stats over beat cipher. You all want to get down with the get down. We got Jacob from Vegas. Jacob, Yo, what is going on? My man calling the show all the time. I appreciate it. Let's get you a w and week five, Jacob, what's going on? You know what's going on? Speed? How you feel?
I'm too good man? T wise though? So? Um but I didn't make that trade from last week for holiday, so I got Goliday now. Um but now I'm I'm struggling from our receiver to UM. I picked the d D. Let's broke off waivers. Um, I have Stills Crowder on our bench. Um, I would play Crowder over over a d D. Okay, I understand what you say. I like I understand what d D Westbrook And like everyone's scoring against the Chiefs. I told you, I think they're gonna try and grind it out a little bit more and run.
I think Jamison. Listen, the Washington football team had their by last week. I think they get some things figured out, and Paul Richardson and Josh Dotson on the outside haven't happened. I think the way they're going to try and improve is, you know, using Jamison Crowder the checkdown options with Alex Smith. I think they're gonna try that more shortened inter media game. If it's PPR, Jacob, I like Crowder. I think Crowder, I know he hasn't had a lot of targets. I
know he hasn't had a lot of catches. I think he goes back into a kind of PPR kind of guy, you know, like the Julian Edelman kind, like the Golden Tate kind. I think he's in that slot and getting more targets. I think we see more of Jamison Crowder this week. So, Jacob, if it's PPR, that's where I would go for your wide receiver this week. Man, no problem, Jacob, U called me back next week. Let's see how we do it. I'm glad that you wound up getting god
a day. All right, let's go number two. We got j and CALLI, what's going on? CALLI, what's going on? JA out there in CALLI. What is it like? Drive time? You driving home from work? What is it rush hour? You listen to the spitting statistician on the freestyle? How can I help you? A week five and beyond? JA was good? Okay, they don't call you the statistician for for for none. You got it. I'm driving back home from Mark. That's what's up? How can I? Yo? Is
it traffic on the four oh five or whatever? Is there? Like always traffic on the four oh five? One oh one one one there? It is that? Hey, that's just up, YO. Let's talk some football. J How can I help you? I got a ppru PPR flex question for you? All right? So I got a currently I got Tyler Boys starting, but I'm debating. I got Shandy McCoy, which he's been blunt, gus trash here it is. I got. I got Buck Allen Joe mix on mix off. I know, I don't know if he's coming back. I don't know what's up
with that. Yeah. I like Buck Allen and Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon is coming back, all right, JA, I think Joe Mixon is coming back, and I like Joe Mixon. Listen, you drafted Joe Mixon to be kind of like one of your running back studs. You probably drafted Joe Mixon and what like the third or fourth round this year exactly to be you're running back to. He's now back, Bro, He's chomping at the bit. I told you already that
I think Cincinnati is gonna do work against Miami. So I think they're gonna have to grind it out in the fourth quarter, and they're gonna run the ball a lot game flow. So I like mixing, Bro, I like mixing a lot. Also, Hey, I wanted to say, hey, big, thank you. You want me my league last last year, so and I'm a slow start this year, one in three, but uh hey, I know you got me right. Thank you, Bro. I appreciate that. J I'm glad. That's what we do. We say it all the time here the stats over

People win their leagues when they're part of the status over Beat Cipher. We got time for one more call before the break, Drew in Indianapolis, How do you feel about your Colts tonight? Hey? If you if you're a Colts fan in Indianapolis, Hey, Drew up, is Robert Turban gonna have a chance maybe too,
so he could do something in the run game? Here? What's going on? Drew in Indianapolis? First of all the Eagles fan? Okay, fine, fair enough, but but hey, I respect Payton everything he did here, so I do stay interested in the cold. I like Hines, man, I like Hines and Wilkins, those dues a little hungret Yeah, I listen. I think Wilkins eventually, you know, but he just hasn't done too much with his opportunity. I love Hines and PPR.
But forget about that. You're an Eagles fan, But how can I help you for a Week five or up against the break? So let me know real quick? All right? So look, I'm just I want to run my running backs across. So I've got DeVante Freeman, Melvin Gordon and uh Coleman. Those are my main three. They all gotta buy on Week eight?

getting ready for Thursday night football. So someone on the chatting room asked me, Um, have I given out my Thursday night football pick just yet? So let me do that right now? All right, let me do that right now. We're gonna get a little trap game, my estros. We got young cause in the effect, we gotta trap game my extro's remix from week four to play. Um, I'm excited about it, all right. So we're gonna get into that and then uh, we're gonna answer some more questions.
But first I want to say thank you again to the stats over beat Cipher. Nobody bigs up their host like the stats over beat Cipher. We already up to sixty two likes. I appreciate everybody. I appreciate everybody that hooks me up over on Patreon as well. I want to give a big shout out to my newest subscriber,
Marvelous Roll Salis. Alright, that's what's up. Thanks for the love, thanks for the support, and I gotta tell you all right, Like, for example, last night, I'm at the bar watching the Yankees game, right, All rise, baby, all rise, And I can't be answering Twitter questions right because I'm I'm at the bar, I'm watching the game, but I am answering Patreon questions. You know what I mean. I'm going out
and about all weekend. I might not get you on Twitter, but I got you on Patreon, all right, So big shout out to everybody who's there, Marvelous Rosales included. All right, here's what I want to do. What I want to do is give you my Thursday night pick. Let's do that, and then we will do a little trap game, maestros. And then I see the people that are on hold on the phone lines, Terry Connor, uh Wesley, We're gonna
get to all of you guys in a hot second. Okay, So first of all, Thursday Night Football, Um, I already told you I think the Patriots are a good survivor pick play. I like the Patriots outright. I'm seeing it right now is ten and a half. And that half point scares the Jesus out of me. Okay, So what I would do for tonight, I think the Patriots win this game. The pick that I'm giving out is not and against the spread pick. I'm giving you the total. The total right now is fifty and a half. I
take the under tonight, okay. And this is not what Blue It said or Angle said like last week on Thursday Night Football. With that Rams vikings, right, I believe this game is gonna go under. I don't see how the Colts really keep up this this week tonight at gainst the Pats. I think the Pats get out ahead. There maybe some garbage time for Indianapolis, so for fantasy, that production is there. But I see this is like
a thirty to thirteen kind of game, you know. I see this as a thirty one fourteen kind of game, and that's forty five. I think it stays under, mostly because I don't think the Colts get over seventeen points tonight, Max. And even if it's thirty one seventeen, I do a little quick math, I still hit with my under. I don't think the Colts get over twenty or seventeen. And I think that when the Pats get to thirty, I think they break it down and start handing the ball
to my guy, the stereotype Sony Michelle. So if everybody who's asking on the Stats over beat Cipher, my play for tonight is the under on the game. I gave that out to my Patreon subscribers along with the picks for this week. By the way, my Patreon picks for the survivor for the Stats over Beat Cipher. So far this week, I'm twelve and six win a little bit of extra cache. All right, here's we're gonna do. You guys know about the Trap game, my stro's young cause
and the effect I play. Their remixes, y'all would give in them a little bit of shade, a little bit of hate, you know, going in the preseason and stuff. But y'all been saying their last couple have been pretty good. Um, let's get it popping my guys in the fantasy pit of misery. Let's play um, let's play a little bit of uh, you know, Rook Flair Drip the remix by the trap game, my astros. Let's make that pop off now.
I look at the high total games right week because people think that the Fit's magic is amazing, not this week. 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 n Mayby back running too that and don't like an ap Yeah, and a TV record like yeah, Fox maybe just as bad as Jets. Yeah yeah, Cleveland just gn't seem that has a test here? Yeah,
red zone trip go who want to ditch? Catch all the TVs go for a two on a pitch multimillion dollar with a sit? How can tell you we'll follow up the Galton and Ditch lines having trouble j be cool, Titan's gotta drive it. I ain't talking about commute Corey in the house. He catching balls upon his road. Browns the almost wim, but then they find a way to loose. It's a huge act of I don't know how we got to stay. I bet he'll find a way to win just doing forty eight. An't worry about me because
you aren't accumulate. As soon as he came in the game on a qu no debate sucks. Earl Thomas never put a sign on it, holding out thinking that the owner his oppontment. That ain't gonna now. He don't want to put no miles on it. He ain't running around, so we cannot hunt a foul on him running to that and doing like an ape. Yeah, that's spher trap
came by extro's that's that Rick Flair drip. I see you over there, strong style, jet flying the masusine ride and kiss stealing, wheeling and dealing to be the man. You gotta beat the man, Brian c. You're gonna have a chance to beat the man this week. Ain't gonna happen, No, brother man, My lineup, verseus, everybody, Um, yeah, I see you strong style. That's what it is. You know how
he gets down. Let's get back to the phones. I got people on hold trying to talk to the spitting status this and we only got like forty five minutes until we five kicks off. I'm telling you it's the under tonight. That's my play. But let's go back to the phones. Terry and Callie, friend of the show, stats over beat, cipher, Dilly dilly Terry, how you doing? Let's get you a dub dilly dilly Dan. How's it going man? Making it happen? How you feeling? Are you an aidesman?
If you're an AIDS fan, I'm sorry for what we did to you last night. You are an AIDS fan, I'm from Oakland. You've got Chris Davis hitting two forty seven every single year, so it's all good. How could I help you? Terry? I saw that. I saw that. Hey, um, I got a two questions. One question is RB Should I start UM in a PPR half point per rush Brita, Aaron Jones or Chris Carson. I like Aaron Jones. The other caller, you know, the other caller was asking about,
like is his running back situation? Okay? And yeah, I like I like Aaron Jones. I think he's rise to be the running back. Okay. The only problem with that is the Green Bay is really going to be driven by the past game as long as Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback, right. Uh, Randall Cobb banged up to run him out, who some people have been talking about in the chat in the chat room, he's still in the protocol.
I think it's gonna be rough for him. Right, So if they lose two of their primary three wide receivers, I think they balance it out by running the ball a little bit more so, I like Aaron Jones. Give me your other question, brother, alright, my other question is Calvin Ridley or Julian Edelman. Mhm ppr ppr. I believe that's tough man. That's a coin flip. I think you could go either way. I truly do believe they're going to feed Julian Edelman and a lot early tonight. I
think they're gonna feed him early. But Calvin Ridley in that Atlanta remember I told you about the game stack before earlier in the show, because I think there's gonna be points scored in that game back and forth, and Ridley has been scoring touchdown is left and right right, So I think it's a coin flip. I think Edelman is safer because he'll get his points from receptions and catches. Ridley is the more boom play because of the touchdown potential.
If that makes sense. Does that make sense? Yep? So to me, it's really kind of a coin flip. Think about your matchup, who you're playing. Do you want to be more stable, floor you want to swing for it, all of those kind of things. If you want the stable play, I think Edelman catches the balls, And if you want the home run play, I think Ridley has a great shot of getting in the end zone. But it is a coin flip for me. I'm sorry I
can't do better than that for you. But you know, call on back anytime and you can let me know how I messed it up for you. But hopefully you let me know how I help you win your league and win that cash. Thanks a lot for the call. Let's go with that out of California. Let's go to Tampa and talk to Connor. What's going on? Connor? You down with the status over beat side of the spitting statistician on fantasy freestyle. Let's get it? What I mean?
How you doing doing well? Okay? So I got a few questions on one of them is if for this aunt slate tonight King? Yeah, out of the out of the coach receiver like which, like a lot of people have been asking about this, like, is it gonna be Ryan Grant? Is it gonna be Chester Rogers? Because they're both sitting pretty right at a low price point because there's no t U I and all that. So I get where you're going, Connor. Right, Grant or Rogers in
essence is what you're deciding between. I was just talking to my what was that, Yeah, it's not Pascal all right? For me, it's Rogers or Grant. I was just talking about this with my boy Rhodo Frank Frank Stanford, one of my fantasy best friends forever. Would you catch him on the network along Grex Sussman. Big ups to them, um, And we both leaned towards Ryan Grant. Um. So that's what I'll tell you as well, Connor. But you know I leaned slightly towards Ryan Grant. But you know it's
it's it's sort of a toss up. But if you asked me to, you know, you put a gun to my head. I'll give you Ryan Grant as the option who I do think becomes the Colts leading receiver tonight. What else you got? Okay, Okay, My next one is for on my season, my season long league is a self team PDR. I'm making you a quick run out of my team. I'm real quick. Um so one second
VOD sorry so right now? So in my season longer have Patty my homes say Formed Barkley, Joe Mix and if he plays Mike Thomas, Emmanuel standards, Corey Davis, Broncos defense, will love Doug Ball, carry on, John a p Tanny Gal too tallawein Christian Kirk sounds great. What's your question? Oh yeah, So, um, if I'm Joe Mixon plays, what are you still playing? Even if you might be on a snaps. I'm playing Joe Mixon. I'm playing Joe Mason because GEO popped up on the injury report. Also, I'm
playing Joe Mix on mix Off this week. I'm running him right away out there because I also I don't believe in Miami. I think they're gonna be winning. I
think the game flow will be in his favor. So yes, I yes, Connor, The answer to your question is yes, I Holiday or Ap or Chris Thompson are recorded over Corey Davis, Corey Davis Buffalo against Buffalo to David White's there were your options over Corey Davis um my options, Doug Ball win against l A, Chris tom sending as the Saints, AP karr On Johnson, Kenny Golladay, Christian Kirk and Antonio callboy. So it's basically Kenny Golladay or ap
R christ Thompson. Yeah, um Golladay. Yeah, it's I'm gonna be a big shot down Green Bay. I think, yeah, I hear, but isn't that game in Detroit? That games in Detroit. I think that game is in Detroit, my friend, and let me double check that. Yeah, it's in Detroit. It's pick them Green Bay Packers secondary Ken be Had, I'll do Golliday. That's the guy like. But you know, I love saying Holiday, but that is in fact my answer. Last caller for the show, we got Wesley, we go
back to Callie. I'm going going back back to calliele Yo, hey real quick. This is my line up. Um is. Quarterback is Aaron Rodgers, receiver Jones Aushan Jeffrey, running backs huh t j Yelden right, and position is Kelsey flexed. Position is Goba Day. Now that's my my lineup that I got started on the bench. I got frieda portals Jordan Reid N. Brown, the Dion Lewis, would you make any changes to any position? And why? So here's my thing, Okay, Um, I would, I might, I might Wesley, And here's the
one that I would do. When you said you're starting lineup right, and it goes back to our poll question. It goes back to our poll question. You have two Kansas City Chiefs in your lineup right now, Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelsey right as you know, they are playing
the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, you know. And that is our poll question in fact, and right now, this pole question is fifty fifty on Stats over beat Cipher is fifty fifty split on it flight the Kansas City Chiefs will be able to keep it rolling against this defense, you know what I mean? And that's a valid question. Okay, the universe is split, and by universe I mean the Stats over beat Cipher. Right, So because that is a
viable outcome that the Chiefs get shut down. Still with me, because that's a viable outcome, because that could be the case. I don't know that I would have both Hunt and Kelsey in my lineups right. I don't know that i'd be that pot committed with my Chiefs this week against Jacksonville. Okay, so that being sane, yeah, so, or the other one is reading for Kelsey, right, so I would record. So that's what I did, Dad three. Uh Kelsey went for
almost thirty points. Yeah. Yeah. I mean there's there's risk involved in these things, right, So here's what I'm saying. I like your lineup. Okay, if my one concern is that you're two maybe to all in with the Chiefs against Jacksonville, right, And if you decide and you're like as speed, you know you're right, Maybe I don't want to have all these guys against the Jaguars. If you feel that way, conn Wesley. If you feel that way, Wesley, then what I would do is either make the switch
for Thompson in for Hunt or read in for Kelsey. Okay, That's how I would do. I do think it's gonna be pretty high scoring Monday night. Also with the Saints and the and the and the Washington football team, they're gonna have to score to keep up. The over under in that game is fifty three, okay, so you know you gotta think that there's production on that side. Also, So if you fear the Jaguars defense. I would go
Thompson for Hunt or Read for Kelsey. It sounds like you in that situation would rather do the Thompson for Hunt and I'm okay with that alright. Um, Weslie, thanks for the call, brother man. We gotta keep it moving right here. Um, thanks to everybody. Stats over beat Cipher, Yo, Intern Brian. Do we get intern Brian? Can we get intern Brian on the mic real quick? If we can down there in the fantasy pit of misery, let me
know what's going on. If we can get intern Brian, Yeah, buddy, talk to me about Rick Flair drip uh quevo bom uh in the music video they actually had Rick Flair whoa around? So talk to me about our trap game Master's remix the Red Zone Trip. You like it wasn't bad? Wasn't bad? You get Rick Flair in that music video might make it a little better? Asked, what's up? Yo? Listen? If anybody got connection to Rick Flair and you want to get him to come on down the studio thirty
four uh and sit on down to spitting statistician. We could go over Rick Flair's career back when he was fighting like Harley Race and n w A. All right, I know about it back in the days. All right, that's what I'm talking about. Four horsemen baby, whoa. Um, how do you feel about the Cowboys this week? Intern Bryant playing Houston Texans. I think they get w in the Battle of Texas. Easy. Oh, I like that. I do think they're gonna feed that beast that is Zeke
Elliott real quick, Thank you, Brian. By the way, Wesley a uh, Brita, John Brown, Golladay, Jordan, Jordan Read or Dion Lewis. That's like pick my flex. That's a lot of guys, you know. I'm like one out of five. I got a chance of getting it right. Um, it's PPR. I like Deon Lewis. Give me Deon Lewis. That's my answer there, Jolie tie Hines or mixing and PPR. That's interesting. I do like mix on mix off. But remember I love not hem Hins tonight as a PPR play. I
think not hem Hines can catch six balls tonight. Okay, However, I think the under is the play tonight, New England could be a survivor pick. I'm not touching the point spread ten and a half is a little too much. From my blood. I can see a backdoor cover in this game very easily. A twenty seven seventeen final, a game that's something like twenty four you know, that's twenty four seven, and then all of a sudden, the Colts get the last fourth quarter touchdown and mateen something like that.
So I'm staying away from that. Am I crazy to start both Sony and James White tonight? You're not crazy? My man. Scott Angle had Sony Michelle ranked fourteen and James White ranked nineteen, so he had them both as r B two, So you're not crazy, but you'd be pot committed, and I think you know that. But it's a good way to be cock committed with the Pats, right, So I'm okay with that. This caller just wasn't with the Chiefs because they're playing the Jags. That about does
it for me. It's the fantasy freestyle. Hit me up on Twitter at Spitting Speeds, subscribe on Patreon if you want that guaranteed answers.
