Lance Davis, get it right, my friend, number three thirty three, and we are live. Jim Ross, I see what your record is, trust me, don't sweat it. I'll talk to you in a hot second. We got a good show for you, Fantasy Freestyle as we put close the book on week four, look ahead to week five. We've got a great show. Okay.

You can get down with stats overbeat Cipher because we are all here to help you win your leagues and win that cash. Here's what we're gonna do as usual. We're gonna talk about the biggest news and notes and injuries, next man up scenarios. Since we spoke last on Thursday, right,

We're gonna do all that then. Because unlike other people in the business, I hold myself accountable, we'll talk about what I got right in week four, and there was some stuff like al right, guys, okay, and how you could kind of spin that forward. What I got wrong in week four. Someone named Mitchell may have put it in my eye. But we'll talk about that and what

I was close on right. Then we will spin it forward and we will talk about waivers four week five, I will go position by position, starting with reverse cow Girl, and I'll tell you who I like on the waiver wire, who you should prioritize, who I think is long term good, who I think maybe a little short stint stint, and who I think is fool crazy that you need to

forget about. Right then, in our third segment, we will put the fun and functional sports content with y'all, the stats over beat Cipher my crew on Fantasy Freestyle, whether it is in the chat room right here on YouTube, or whether it is through the phone lines. We will open up the phone lines a little bit later on in the show. As you know, all right, we're gonna get you have your chance to speak to Speeds, the

SI spitting statusician thoughts on Hinz and Kiki Uh. We're gonna talk about those guys a little bit later on in my waiver preview. We'll talk about Mark Ingram, all those guys. All right, but let's get it on right now. News end notes. Since we last spoke, listen, the tight end position is brutal. Okay, everybody from Hunter Henry to Delaney Walker have already been out. Greg Olsen, Evan Ingram Okay, but let's add to the mash unit that is the

tight end position. O. J. Howard with a knee. They're saying it's an m c L two to four weeks. He's done, will dis Lee Torres patella, he's gonna be done. Gronk with an ankle injury. And here's the thing. They got a quick turnaround, all right there on Thursday Night Football in a mere forty eight hours. Okay, so we gotta keep an eye out from him, and obviously we gotta start looking at potentially other options. Same with Jack Doyle,

who still is not practicing just yet. He's on Thursday Night Football, so we gotta kick a look at that. And then obviously Tyler Eifford, if you saw it in real time, the gruesome ankle injury, and it's just such a shame. I put it on social media myself. We've

been talking about Tyler Eifford for a while. He's a guy who you know, worked back to get back after a back injury, right and was finally looking healthy, so much so that last week on this show, I was telling people that he needs to be a waiver wire ad and I maintained that that worked. On Thursday's show I told you about an Andy Dalton and a Tyler Eifford Stack. I still maintained that was a good call. Al right, So, but it is sad to see he

broke his ankle in a gruesome fashion. He's gonna be on I R. You gotta worry about is he done playing football altogether? So the tight end is this mass unit. When we do our waiver wire ads, we're gonna certainly focus on some guys in the tight end position. I gotta tell you, though, if you listen to me last week about tight end, you may have a tight end one on your hands. If you listen to your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician, that guy over there now in Pittsburgh,

who is the tight end one? You know, stiff arming guys and you know taking it to the house that also was getting targets a lot on Sunday night. Yeah, his nicknames are VM. Yeah. I told you that last week. Hopefully you listen to your boy Speeds the spitting Statistician. But listen, the injuries were not only two tight ends. I mean, Geronimo Allison got concussed. I even said it on Sunday morning from my Patreon subscribes and there's some new ones out there. Shout out to you guys specifically.

Later on, um, I was like, yo, what Randall cob out? I like Geronimo Allison More. It proved to be all right. He went like six for eighty before I got concussed. Okay. I also told you that with the news of Josh Gordon last minute, I did not like Hogan. Yes, I'm gonna tell people right now, Yes, it is officially. Now it's all right to cut Hogan if you want. I'm telling you right now, it's okay because now Gordon's there.

I know Gronka is a little iffy, but now you've got the stereotype Sony Michelle in there, James White in there. It is proven Edelman coming back. It is proven that Hogan is not taking that brass ring like a lot of people, including yourself myself, thought he would. Yes, Hogan is a cut candidate. At this point, t Y Hilton missed Uh, came out, went back in, went back out.

We gotta watch his hammy throughout the week. Will Fuller Uh had a hammy and he had a hamstring injury or issue at least all a preseason It cost him some weeks of the training camp in preseason, A lot of people are asking about qute t Yeah, is my answer to that question. I'll tell you a little bit more about my thoughts on Kiki as we get into

our waiver wire pick up. And then Leonard Fournette. Listen, I was on I was on the line on Friday on Rhodo Experts in the morning with my man, the King, Scott Angle, and we were interviewing dr Ay from Midside Injuries and he said it. He was like Leonard Fournette, if he comes back and plays this week, he is being brought back too soon. He will re injure his hamstring. He said it on Friday morning, and lo and behold,

that's exactly what happened. I'm telling you what I told you guys last Tuesday, and this time I said, t J Yelden has standalone value regardless of Leonard Fournette. Did you listen to me? I hope so, because if so, you're holding t J Yelden now and the path is clearer for him. And even if they play this will he won't he with Leonard Fournette, maintain t J Yelden. Okay to me, Yelden is now similar to almost to

like Austin Ekeler with the Chargers. Okay, yeah, if Gordon is out, e would be great, but he has a little bit of value regardless, and I think that's the value now if t J. Yelden as well. Also, some of these hold out and trade deadline kind of guys are coming to a head. Unfortunately, what happened with Earl Thomas. You know, we get word that all the Seahawks want two first rounders or two second rounds for all Thomas. Blah blah blah. Yeah, then he breaks his leg. You

ain't flipping him from Jack at this point. And then you saw Earl Thomas flip off the Seahawks sideline. I think that was all the frustration getting pent up. Earl Thomas has played his last down with the Seattle Seahawks. And then we're here in Pittsburgh. Go second round pick and a good player for Levian Bell. We'll see James Connor though continues now to underperform after his week big Week one and two, and then and Leve Bell is like, who whoa, whoa, You're gonna trade me? Hold on, I'll

come back. I'll come back in week seven. I'll report a report in week seven. So let me tell you right now, the way it goes, this is the worst case scenario for everybody, because if option a Levet Bell just didn't play this year, you'd at least have Connor as a locked and loaded RB one the entire time. If they did trade leve Bell, then you'd have Bell and Connor in two separate places being an RB one potentially. Now you go right back to the time share. Here's

what I'm thinking. I think there was so much you know, controversy, beef in the locker room. Yeah, let's say love Bell comes back after the bye week game. He's gonna play. Guess what? So is James Conner. Right, And part of the reason you like leve Bell. Part of the reason I love love Bell, part of the reason leve Bell is the top three pick is because of the workload. Because he was a workhorse back, the kinds you only see in Arizona with David Johnson, you only see in

Dallas with Ezekiel Elliott. Right, That's what made him a top pick. You don't like other great running backs that also have someone else that they like, like a DeVante Freeman or Tevin Coleman. Right, you like the workhorses. If Dalvin Cook has Latin Murray with him taking up time, all of a sudden, Dalvin Cook is in an RB you want anymore? Well, what do you think is the case? If leve Bell also has James Conner in that backfield as a time share, then he may not be an

RB one anymore. And that's what I think is going to happen, because leve Bell is gone anyway, right, so they still have to work out James Conner. They still got to develop James Conner. But what you can have now is more instead of like leve Bell being this prototypical workhorse, he's gonna be a guy who gets the majority of the carries. Do James Connor will have some usage after week eight as well? And so that is

gonna be the issue. But it does look like he's gonna come on back, uh seven during thereby, But I would wonder if there's drama in the locker room, do the offensive lineman want to block for him, like, oh, you're gonna come back and help your team. Week six for the Steelers is at Cincinnati at the division leading rival Cincinnati Bengals on the road. You don't think it'd be helpful with Geno Atkins on their front line to have you back for then. So that's a weird, fishy situation.

We'll see with that. As I said here as well, if it's magic is up, okay. So they've already made the decision that they are going to start Jamis week six after their by And here's what I'm gonna tell you. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I think Jameis Winston is a very good stash for your fantasy football roster throughout the buy whatever. Here's why. Similar to have the Kansas City Chiefs defense gives up points left and right, so does the Tampa Bay defense. We saw

this with Ben Roethlisberger. We saw this with Mitchell Trabinsky on Sunday. Right, they are going to be in shootouts. So what does that mean for the Tampa Bay offense? Who can't run the ball worth a damn? That means whoever is the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Bux is gonna put it up forty five fifty times a game. The wide receivers of the box have never been an option question. Mike Evans. We like Sean Jackson got something left in the tank, Chris Godwin I've been talking about

on the ascent. Those are there both tight ends. Although we know O. J. Howard has banged up. That means whoever that thrower is that QB with that opportunity slinging at fifty times they got weapons around them. I think they means that they are a viable fantasy football quarterback. So I think that about Jamis Winston. Okay, But here's the other thing I wanted to mention getting a little too far with this uh player safety and blowing the

plays dead. Did you see on Sunday in that Raiders Brown's game, Marsn Lynch beast moding getting like kind of wrapped up and gang tackled. He's fighting through it and breaks free, but no, no, no, they blew the whistle dead ball. Then on the other side, Derek Carr gets like popped and fumbles, but they're like no, no, no, he was in the grasp dead ball and the play foo gazy. I think this is going a little bit too far. Let me tell you something. I had a

good week Week five. I told you guys that's going into the week. The first thing I'll say, Mom man the stereotype, Sony Michelle a Jim ross A lands Davis hit me with that, Mitsubishi hit me with that, Panasonic Sony the stereotype Michelle twenty five carries, a hundred and twelve yards and a touchdown. What I said was that this guy is gonna be used as a prototypical early down back and that the game flow would be different, and that they would feed him. Well, they were up

thirty eight nothing. They fed him. His twenty five carries tied Ezekiel Elliott from most in the NFL on Sunday. All right, when the Pats are up, game flows that work, Sony Michelle is going to be the early down back. Hopefully you listen to your boy Speeds the spitting statistician, because we were ahead of that. I also gave out on this show on Thursday and Andy Dalton, Tyler Eifert Cincinnati Bengals stack. That worked out, all right? You know

Dalton three hundred thirty seven yards passing three touchdowns. I forget in the end zone ad as well. Right, I told you that Cincinnati game I thought was gonna be a last team with the ball, and that I liked Cincinnati, plus the points. You're welcome. I gave you Cincinnati plus the points. I gave you the Pats minus six and a half. I said they were gonna boot race the Dolphins thirty to nothing. Sounds like a boat race to me. I gave you the under on Monday Night football chit Chen. Alright.

I went three and oh in the picks that I gave out to the stats overbeat cipher on Patreon. I went three and oh in the picks that I gave out on Rhoto Experts in the morning. So you ride with me. You went a little bit of extra piche. I told you that if it's magic, was gonna run out as well. And then I told you I thought, Jane, this would be under center after the by oh well, after a nine for eighteen and a hundred twenty six yards and no touchdowns and yet another interception in Week four.

A week four, in the first half, they made dad exact switch. I told you to hop off the fits Magic and hop on jamis as the same situation being down needing to throw. Why Because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive secondary is blunt, guts, trash, and it's gonna get attacked all season long and hard graves on. I are their safety is banged up as well. I told you about all that. I told you about my man. Carry on Johnson. Also, I have been on his ascension for

a while. He got into the end zone with another fifty five yards. If you lost, then alone and you're sinking like a stone. Carry on on, carry on, Johnson. I told you about that. Here's where I was close. I told you that the Indianapolis Colts was a good streaming defense, and they gave up points right there. I think it was like one overtime game against the Texans. But here's what I also said. I said, the points allowed isn't what you look for in a streaming defense.

I said the sacks are what you look for. And I liked that the Cults were getting pressure. They were tied for third. I believe in the league in sacks going into week four. And I told you that Deshaun Watson is running for his life because of that piss poor offensive line. Well, the Colts sat DeShawn Watson seven times on Sunday, so we had that right. Okay. Um, the fact they gave up points is one thing, but as a defensive streamer, they were okay, they really really were.

But I'll tell you this, here's what I got wrong. Mitchell Trobinsky put it in my eye. Okay, I'm gonna tell you right now. Mitchell Trobisky put it in my eye with that performance. But that was a question more to me of the Bucks pass defense than of Mitchell Trobisky. I still don't think that he's the guy moving forward. I think you gotta see a little bit more. He did, however, have a great outing six touchdowns, three four yards via the air, another fifty three on the ground. Und he

put it in my eye. You know who else put it in my eye? Blake Bortles. I've been talking about this. I've been saying I'm still not riding with the Jags passing game. I still don't care what numbers Blake Bortles puts up because my approach and the Jags approaches to win with running the ball and playing defense. I still believe that to be true. But Blake Bortles put up three yards, two touchdowns and a pick another twenty eight

yards on the ground rushing. I'm telling you right now, if people continue to ask me, I will continue to say I do not believe in Blake Bortles, but acknowledge he put it in my eye. Let me ask you this. I'm going to the status over beat Cipher right here in the chat room. Fits magic was Houdini. I told you it disappeared. I shake them. Hey, it is off Trabisky way ay at. I still don't think. I don't

think Bordles. I don't believe in Trabinsky. Yeah, they put it in my eye for one week, but they were the truth. But it's fine. I'm putting Michelle in over Lamar Miller this week, slo stoked. I completely agree with that. How you gonna arrive with Lamar Miller win his offensive line and block? Okay, that run deep that that run game is a problem. That's why Deshaun Watson is running

around playing schoolyard football. We like the stereotype. When we come back here on the other side of the break, here on the fantasy freestyle, I give you a position by position starting with reverse cow Girl your waiver wires that I like. Moving ahead two week five, and then we open up the phone lines to answer your questions.

Right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network is the stat's overbeat cipher, which

a boy speeds the spitting statistician. Hey uh, Danny, we got a problem right now. Jorge h is in the chat room and he said Sunday morning, he watched ESPN Fantasy Show and one of the girls started to sing, Goladay, are you out of your f and mind? Are you kidding me. Like, all I gotta say, Jorge, is you know where that joint started? Okay, I'm telling you right now. None of my nicknames do I get from anywhere else. Okay, that happened organically, and I know, Jorge, you're not like

saying that to be. But Yo, this ESPN person was not original because seeing it with me now, stat's over beat cipher. It would be it would be some nice goladay. That's what it is, and that's what it really needs to be. Uh mahomes or consider a streaming option against the Jaguars. And let me get into this because Big Timer also had an interesting point about Bordles. I see you out there, Big Timer, saying that Bordles has QB

one upside and loves the matchup against Kansas City. And for the last couple of weeks, I've been saying, everyone scores against Kansas City, right, And so I'd be with you, Big Timer, But I submit as exhibit a last night, when you actually have a great defense, it's not like case Kingdom scored threw up lit it up last night verse Kansas City, when the team had a good defense

to potentially control the shootout. Right in most cases Casey is in a shootout, right, they get up twenty one, nothing like they did with Big Ben, forcing the team out of their game plan and then making the quarterback have to sling it sixty times. With Denver and case As you saw, that wasn't the issue. Denver's defense was able to be representative enough, control the defense enough so that it was a legitimate game, so that quarterback on the other side in this case, Keenum didn't have to

sling it like that and just go crazy. And I expect similar things against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I understand what you are saying, Big Timer, but I think this, you know verse k C. The matchup is usually good against Casey because they get in a shootout and then force you out of your game. I don't know that they're gonna force the Jacksonville Jaguars out of their game. That is the only difference in my opinion. But I understand your you know you're thinking on this g rowse one.

I am keeping the Bears defense. Okay, the Bears defense are one of the defenses where yes, I would bring on a second defense for this week and this week only the Bears by week and then you're good to go starting the Bears regardless of matchup moving forward. Okay, so yes, this is the one kind of play where I would take a second defense. Um in my personal opinion. All right, let me get into this. Here's what we're gonna do. Alright, I'm gonna open up the phone lines

in a hot second. Then let me first let me give you my waiver wire guys, so you guys have that context. So then when I answer the questions, whether it's in the chat room or in uh the phone lines, you have that yo. Listen. By the way, Lance Davis, I love Courtland Sutton, man I do. But I think Taiwan Taylor is like ahead on the Titans depth chart more than Sutton is on the Broncos depth chart. I see Sutton maybe being even with d T. But that bread is buttered with Manny Sanders. In my opinion, I

really like Manny Sanders moving forward. I like Sutton ascending. You need to get him in dynasty leagues, but rest of the season and dyning and redraft, I'm not so sure. But let's get into it right now. In terms of different positions and where I go at the quarterback position, No, I do not go with Mitchell Robinski. I still you heard my feelings on Blake Bordles. You heard my feelings on Jamis M. F Winston. Okay, I'm not saying I think he's a leader of men. You know my position

on that already. He is not. But I do think the fantasy situation will be good for him. If you haven't done it already, I've been telling you about these guys for the better part of two weeks. Now if you can, what you need to do is add either Andy Dalton or you need to add Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco continues, Okay, look at Joe Flacco putting it up over forty times the last three games in a row. Last week against Pittsburgh on Sunday Night, three sixty three

and two touchdowns. Here's the other thing of why I like Joe Flacco and Yo Yang in the control room. You need to listen this one because you may be dropping Josh Allen for him. Um. The Baltimore Ravens with Alex Collins, who a lot of people have been asking me about. Right, they don't trust Alex Collins anymore, that his usage is not what it used to be. Right, they are putting this more on the arm of Joe Flacco. They are passing the ball more. That's why you see

Buck Allen in there more. Okay, I think they're losing faith in Alex Collins and they're morphing into I can't if I'm saying this more of a passing train driven by Joe Flacco. I like Joe Flacco, and I like Andy Dalton, okay, right now, and the Dalton owned, so you can go out and grab him Joe Flacco owned. Okay. I take Joe Flacco ahead of Mitchell Trabiskie every day and twice on Sunday, So they're my quarterbacks for you. Jamis and Flacco at the running back position. I told

you about t J Yeldon. Go get him right now if you can, regardless of for net yes to the person who had answered. I do like Nahim Hines. However, that's a PPR league format play, not in standard leagues. In PPR formats, I do like Nahem Hines. Here's the other thing I'll tell you about the Indianapolis backfield what some people may not be realizing. Okay, here's what you

gotta remember. Also, Robert Turban comes off suspension for this team, okay, uh this week, and he's gonna get added into the mix, further cloudy ing and muddying the situation in this committee. Which is why Jordan wilcomes Marlon mack fo gay Zy Uh. Robert Turban also fu Gazzy. Naheim Hines, however, carves out his role in PPR formats as the past catching back. That's why I think he is a little bit different. Don't get it twisted. Check for Robert Turban as well,

because they're gonna give you a chance. The culture gonna give him a chance to take over this job. If what he does with it, I'm not sure, the same way they gave Jordan Wilkins a chance. He defecated the mattress. With that opportunity, Turban will get that chance. But I do like nheim Hines in um PPR leagues, if you can still get Nick Chubb, go right ahead and do it. They're saying right now, Hugh Jackson that they gotta get

him more snaps, they gotta get him more opportunity. I am not on Mike Davis, Okay, running back out of Seattle. I know he had a good game, but listen, it's him, It's Carson who will come back. It's Penny who I think is gonna ascend, and why buying shares of a Seattle running that committee. The way their run game has been. Russell Wilson is like their leading rusher. Okay, so I want no part of that, So yes, yelled in, Yes, Hines, watch out for Turban, Yes, uh Chub as well other

guys that might be out there. If Aaron Jones is still out there for you, he's available in about thirty percent of leagues. I like him. I told you about Buck Allen. He's a guy I would like. He's available intent of leagues. I like him. All the other guys, though, we've either already discussed or I've told you why I am not on them at the wide receiver position. And here's the name everybody's asking about, Key qt t Yeah, I like him, Yeah I do. Houston Texans like him too.

They liked him in training camp, they liked him in the off season. That's why they drafted him. That's why they cut Braxton Miller, who was their project. Kiki QT is the number three receiver four Houston Texans. In his debut, Kiki got fifteen targets eleven catches for one oh, one oh nine. Right, here's the thing. This guy is gonna be that slot guy that day Julian Edelman kind of guy, that target monster, that chain mover kind of guy. Right,

So I like that. I also like the fact that this team, the Houston Texans, have no running game to speak of. Lamar Miller's socks right, Um so, I like the Deshaun Watson's running around trying to make schoolyard plays for this. Will Fuller also has a hamstring injury, okay, which is his like second tweak of a hamstring this year. There is a good chance that will Fuller will miss some time and in that situation, listen to Texans have nobody behind DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. If you're in

a dynasty league, hopefully you already have Kiki. I put a waiver claiming myself, I like Kiki q T on the q T. I don't like these Jaguars wide receivers Westbrook mon Creef. I'm not on them. Um Taylor Gabriel, I'm iffy on Okay, Yeah, he had a great game, but a Anthony Miller is out b I think this is about the Tampa Bay Bucks past defense. Not what we saw out of Mitchell Drobiski. Mitchell Robinsky is not throwing six touchdowns or three d some odd yards every

single game. I just don't think it's happening. And if it does, Gabriel is like what fourth on the totem pole, behind Allen Robinson, behind Terrik Cohen, behind Trey Burton, you know, potentially behind and Anthony Miller when he comes back as well. They have Jordan Howard, who I believe you need to hold onto. I know a lot of people are worried about this. If someone drops Jordan Howard in your league because the Bears are on by, scoop him up. Let

me say it again. If someone drops Jordan's Howard because they are on by with the Bears and he's underperformed in the last couple of weeks, pick him up. It's like the Red Man song when you see a bag of weed on the floor. What you're gonna do? Pick it up? Pick it up? Pick up Jordan Howard? Okay, um, Tyler Boyd. If you haven't heard me by now, I've been telling you. His ownership percentage continues to climb if you are in a quarter of the league's where he

is still available. Yes, I like him. I've already told do that I do like him. Edelman coming back this week, as you know, he's available though Incent of Leagues. Another guy I'll give you is uh and I've been back and forth on this guy. But John Brown clearly has some kind of chemistry with Joe Flacco. He's got touchdowns in three of the first four weeks. I'm warming to John Brown. I do not believe in Jordy Nelson. I

do believe in Calvin Ridley. Now let's quickly talk tight end at this situation because listen, I know you may be in the market for a tight end, right. So here's what I'll say. First of all, if you listen to me last week, Vance McDonald, I told you about Vance McDonald. People are like, oh, but what about Jesse James. No, Vance McDonald is the dude there. Okay, he had five targets. He is the heavily targeted guy. He's the guy that can make plays, all right. Vance McDonald is the tight

end to own in Pittsburgh. He's only forty five percent owned. Go out and get him right now. If you lost Jack Doyle, if you lost Tyler Eiffort, if you lost you know any of these guys going BacT weeks, O J. Howard, Evan Ingram. You know Vance McDonald is your answer? Okay, Um, then you know how I talk about its skill and its opportunity. Well, there is now a new opportunity in Cincinnati because Tyler Eifford goes down the way he usually does.

The kai I think is going to take the brass ring on that opportunity is Tyler, not Tyler Boyd, although it helps Tyler Boyd also, but Tyler Croft. Okay, this is a guy who has in spots for Tyler Eiford before, been a good DFS play. Andy Dalton is familiar with him and comfortable with him. I think Tyler Croft is someone interesting. If you're like scooping the bottom of the barrel, I'd take a look at Tyler Croft. Um, those are

my main two guys. Okay, you have the same kind of names, the Austin Safari and Jenkins of the world. If they're out there, the Ricky Seals Jones if they're out there. Okay, these are guys that are owned to only a quarter of leagues, and I think they have potential to be this kind of streaming guy, just like anybody else. Here's the other thing I'd say, someone dropped O. J. Howard. He's supposed to miss two weeks, right, one of those weeks is a bye. Bucks have a bye this week.

It's not a horrible idea to stash him the same way I was telling you, you could go ahead and stash the Carolina Defense on thereby the same way I'm telling you you could go ahead and stash Jordan Howard or Jamis Winston on his by you when you think about it, losing O J. Howard for two to four weeks, one of those weeks is the bye anyway, So that is something interesting. But for me Vance McDonald, Tyler Croft R s j A, s j al. Right, here's we're

gonna do. I am going to answer the chat room questions that I have, and we're gonna open up the phone lines. The number tw call it's three four seven seven six seven six six one four. We'll put that in the chat room right now. What I'm gonna do is answer some more questions and then I'll take your calls to close out this segment, open up the next segment when we come back, and put the fun and functional sports content. What we're gonna do is we're gonna

look at some hashtag Game of Inches nominees. We'll answer your questions. And I got a new hot fire from the Trap Game my astros that we'll see if we can get to today. Dilly dilly to every body. I'm gonna try and answer some questions. Here's what I have loaded up for me from Debo, Brandon Cooks or Tyler Boyd from my white Out two. I love Tyler Boyd, but he's not a white Out two. Okay. The answer is Brandon Cooks. Tyler Boyd to me is more of

a wide Out three or flex play. So if you're deciding between Cooks or Boyd, the answer is Brandon Cooks. All right, Debo, listen those rams that offense. They're gonna put up points against anybody, all right. I'm taking a piece of the herd because Jared Goff is spreading it around to everybody. Nicholas Bond, my friend trade Galvin Cooks straight up for hide in PPR. No, I wouldn't do that, Okay, I'd hold on to cook. I know he hasn't performed, I know he's banged up, but they're talking about in

Cleveland getting Nick Chubb more work. It's not like Carlos Hyde has a clean injury bill of health either. So I would hold on to Dalvin Cook because the the production when he's healthy would be there. I know you're just gonna have to Grin and Barrett for another week or two as he gets back up to speed. Christopher C. Stafford or Dalton rest of season. I think that's interesting. I think that's really interesting. I think that's close. Um,

I'll still tell Stafford. And the reason why is because the Cincinnati Bengals at least still want to run the ball with Joe Mixon when he's there and healthy. The Detroit Lions, even though they have carry on on on their aster Um, that's the only thing preventing me from saying to somebody else who asked that I love carry On Johnson, right. I think his skill set is there. I think he's gonna grow over time. But Detroit is still a past first team on the Jim Bob Cooder.

The Bengals are more of a balanced offense. So because of that reason, I still think you get more opportunity with Stafford. So he's my answer. Christopher C. Gregorycy keeper trade ingram Uh, keep him. You kept him for this long, might as well keep him again. He comes on back, then he has to buy. Then he does have a tough schedule. But if you drafted him to keep him all this time, now is not the time to bail. So I say keep him Gregory, Carlos Soto go to

bad trade Hopkins Aaron Jones for Girle mhm. I think that is the rare trade that is actually good for both sides. If you're the trade that if you're the side that's getting Todd Gurley, sure, if you're the side that's giving Todd Gurley, you're getting a wide out one stud in DeAndre Hopkins and Aaron Jones. You're getting two starters, and that's kind of what you gotta do. That's the rare two for one trade, Carlos, that I actually think it's viable for both ways. That I believe in. We

got time. We can go to the phones here at three four seven seven six seven six six one four. We got m J from Chicago. MJ, my friend, you are on the Fantasy Freestyle with the spitting statistician. How can I help you for a week five and beyond. Can't hear him? M J, are you there? Hey, there you go, n J. What's up? Dilly dilly to you, dilly dilly, But I gotta I got one of my teams.

I'm actually doing pretty well in this league, and I wonder if you can help me out with the roster and let me let me know what you think of the team. Uh So, I got Russell Wilson as my QB. I got Odell Beckham as my wide receiver. One, I got Hopkins as my wide receiver to I got Melvin Gordon as my RB one. I got um Ingram as my RB two got I got Devonte Freeman on my bench as well with Kenyan Drake, um de Sean Jackson.

And I was thinking of moving Freeman for Howard. To me, that's like six or one half a dozen to the other brother man, you know what I mean. I think it's fine if you want to do that. I don't think Freeman or Howard are a clear advantage over anybody else. Okay, Um, I think that your wide receivers are stacked with Odell and Hopkins. I think you're running backs. If you want, you can try to package that to get the RB two.

I understand if you're worried about DeVonta Freeman, but he's coming back this week, okay, So I would stand Pat, m J. I think you're absolutely okay. Alright, brother, man, I think you're good. I think you have a good team. I think you stand Pat, brother. Thank you so much, man, I appreciate you. No problem, MJ. We got time for one more. Andrew from Alabama. Let's get him down with you. You were on the status over beat Cipher Fantasy Freestyle

with your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician Andrew. But we're coming up against the breaks, So do me a favorite, give me that. Give me the question quick. What's I got a problem? Well a problem? Tell me your problem in the next thirty seconds, though, I got Sony Michelle and then uh in my line up, I got carry On Johnson on the bench. Um, which one would you play for Week five? Sony Michelle? Not even close, Sony Michelle? Is this lead running back? I told you guys last week.

I'm telling you right now, Andrew, and thanks for the call. Okay, Sony Michelle until further notice is a startable RB two week two week harry On Onson is more of a flex play. That's your aunt to Andrew. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, more of your questions get answered. Okay, we got game of Inches and new trap game mystrols as well. Come on back. It's a fantasy freestyle with your boy Speed, that spitting statistician. Let's go from the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rodo dot Com is the

Welcome back, it's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the

Fantasy Sports Network. Status of Beats cipher in full effect in the chat room. I want to give a big shout out to two of my newest patreons. All right, in the last couple of days, big shout out to Jay Young, big shout out to Matthew Whittaker. They're trying to get down with the status of beats Cipher, the community that we're building here you talk. You know how

much I appreciated friendship bread for everybody. You know what I'm saying to the chat room here, um, to everybody who hits me up on Twitter at spitting speeds, to everybody who subscribed to me on Patreon, thank you, okay, And to my two newest subscribers, Jay Young and Matthew Whittaker, big shout out to you. Make it pop. And here's

the interesting one. Jay Young just sent me a question, Matt Ryan or Patty mahomes this week, you know, And at first glance, you're like, what are you talking about, Patty? That's my homes yo. But here's the thing. Patty mahomess hat at Jack's has that Jacksonville matchup, which I've already said is a problem, right, Um, Matt Ryan as the Pittsburgh Steelers who everyone's lighting up. Right, So this is a prototypical question of is it about you know, what

they've done and who they are or their matchup? And I'm gonna tell you what I told Jay Young, I'm okay, we're going Maddie Ryan in this case. The Jacksonville Jaguars defense is so stout and the Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been giving it up to everybody. I'm okay with pitting Matt Ryan ahead of Patty Mahomes this week. I know it is crazy, but lands Davis strong style, thank you for welcoming others to the patron, to the cipher, Dilly Dilley,

to all of y'all. Absolutely okay, So that's what it is. Um. Here's the thing. Also, Jim Ross out there, I agree with you. You know, sometimes people want to be like yo, I've got you know, Zeke Elliott and Alvin Kamara and my quarterback is Patty Mahomes and I got d Hop and I got Odell and I'm just the bomb, you know. But we gotta listen to that. I'm trying to help people.

Everyone loves to, you know, gloat a little bit, um because you know the jim Bo slices like to gloat a little bit when they're four and all right right, jim right, all right then, uh, just so you know, by the way, anybody that's in that league, the Green Street Tavern League. The spitting statisticians are on the ascent al right, I got I got a slow start, coming back two wins in a row, and I am the

highest scoring team of my record. Okay, so go on in there and check Jim Ross and you will see the spitting statisticians just like Wu Tang ain't not in the f with all Right, but here we go. That's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're gonna do. We are going to start with my man, Danny Otto. Danny Otto, come on in because we gotta talk about some game of inches stuff. Right. Check this out? Um in week three was rough right? That one to one thirty two tie, right,

the big Ben kneel downs costing people victories. I've got three submissions so far. Okay, Uh, one guy and this one doesn't really count because he like sent it to me, but he like saw it somewhere else on Twitter. He wasn't representing it as his own, but he saw a guy who lost one seventeen point four to one seventeen point five. And the guy that lost by a tenth of the point. Had Sammy Watkins ready to go from Monday Night Football in his lineup? Who got a bagel

who got nothing. That's tough. That's tough, but still not a game of inches because it's not as Crew Show would have play that we've seen before. Right, yeah, all right, Simon Hawk on Twitter lost by point four. All right, needed Manny Sanders. I don't know if you saw at the end of the Monday Night Football, uh, Danny, but there was like a hook and ladder play, a trick to play at the very end, the very last play

the game. And if Mandy Sanders got that, he would have gotten the points needed for Simon Hawk to move forward and win. But he lost by point four hashtag game of inches. I'm like, that's all right. What do you think, Danny? I mean, I still think we we uh we blew it a little early with with the couple of high hitters. Are it's not at the level of these other guys. We've we've set the bar high

in weeks two and three with a better analogy. Was what I said, all right, well, hey, whatever you guys are doing in the fantasy pit of misery, dilly dilly to you guys. And then also rich p Mr thirty seven just showed me that he won by point fifteen by hundreds of a point but one, and I was like, I could win, brother man, not a game of inches, though I don't win anything for winning. That's what I'm saying. Um. But here's the thing. I expect this to be a

big time week. Why there were three games in the NFL that went to overtime. You saw the way the Colts played that overtime, going for it on fourth down in their own end. If that cost you, hit me up. Hashtag game of inches. Julio Jones in a monster like Hail Mary play trying to tie or take the or win the game for Atlanta. In that back and forth game, he caught a fifty yard bomb, but it meant nothing unless you were facing Julio Jones or Matt Ryan hashtag

game of inches. Hit me up. In that Brown's Raiders game, there was if you had hide, they took a call back for the first down, if you lost that yard, game of inches. You know, if they stopped beast mode with the quick whistle, hashtag game of inches hit me up.

So far, none of the nominees. I appreciate Washi'd Sempie, I appreciate Simon Hawk, I appreciate Rich P. M R. Mr thirty seven, But so far I have not heard any submissions that rise to the level of our finalists from the last two week Danny So hit us up at spitting Speeds, Hit up Danny at any auto, Hit me up on Patreon, Send me a screenshot, Danny. If you get bombarded with some hashtag game of inches, I apologize, all right. I like attention sometimes too. That's what's up.

That's what's up. Follow my man at Danny Otto. Okay, thank you to everybody who is in the chat room right now. Though a strong style A lands Davis only got thirty three likes so far. We're supposed to smash that like button. I'm gonna give y'all time to smash that like button. The hundreds of people watching right now, smash that like button. And while that happens, I'm gonna go back to the phones. All right, Right now, we got Terry in California, Terry and Cally, you returning caller,

Dilly Dilley, friend of the Cipher. How can we help you? Terry for we five and beyond. Hey, Dilly, Dilly Dane, how's going going? Well? What's up? Hey? First off? I want to shout you out for telling me to start Jared Goff last week. Dig body that anytime? You know how? So here's my question, um, Kenyan Drake and Dmarrius Thomas droppable. I want to try to pick up T J. Yeadlin, Aaron Jones or the Titans B this week? Um So

for who are you trying to pick up? Uh? T J. Yin, Aaron Jones or the Titans B. Yeah, you could drop Jake, you could drop Drake. Okay, would you dropping Drake at this point? I'm less okay when you dropping DT Damarius Thomas? But for yell did and the guys you're talking about? Who are your other wide receivers? I got Ridley Hopkins and Dealing and Edelman? Oh okay, and you happened? Do you have to start? I'm trying to see. I'm trying to see Terry, if you have a deep enofench that yeah,

so you're okay, Yeah you could cut those guys. Okay, That's what I was trying to see. If you have if you're deep enough where he's like low and on the totem poll enough for you, I think it's okay. I'm much more okay with you're dropping Drake than DT. But yeah, if you need to you can. Okay, Terry, and thank you, thank you by the way for the props. You know, people always want to get at me if I got something wrong, but you know people are also getting hooked up as well. By the way, big shout

out to one of my guys on Patreon, Ryan Mallison. Right, he told me that he used the lineup that I was giving out on this Thursday edition. Right, he did a little tinkering, he messed around, got a one seventy eight on dfs this week and hit a little bit of extra cash. You're welcome, Ryan. It's all love. That's what we do for the cipher. Like I said, shout out to Matt Whittakers. Shout out to Jay Young who's getting down me. Also, I didn't mention it last week.

Shout out to my man Robert Murphy. All right out there. He's part of the cipher. He sent me a picture he was at the Lions Patriots game, sent me a picture of that last touchdown. He had good seats too. I love it when the Cipher is out there. If you've got stuff, if you're going to the game, hit us up, send it to us. Send it to the stats over beat cipher Alright, but back to the phone lines. We you go, Darren in Wisconsin? What is going on?

How are those brewers doing? I I they're the one seed. Huh. If if those brewers, ye, man, if those brewers are up after six innings, it's a rap on, Darren. Everybody going crazy over here. They should. Christian Yellis for m v P. That's what I'm talking about. Christine Yellis for n L m v P. What's going on, Darren? How can I help you? Man? I'm calling in because I'm thinking about making a move. I got I got Delvin Cook and letter for Nettum. Luckily my team has been undefeated.

I just got my first loss. Okay, so I'm thinking about dropping uh Alex Collins to pick up? Yelled in and I got marked Ingram because I like to have a little spot to scream. Like what I mean. I like that feel that rotate, that evolving door at the bottom of your roster. I like that Who are all your running backs? Who are all of your running backs? Dar I got I got Delvin Cook, Cook for Ingram, mark Ingram and Alex Collins. And you're looking to maybe

pick up, yelled at and drop Collins. Man, he's fumbling at the goal line. I don't think they're gonna give him the ball down there. I agree with you, I don't. I think Collins is in the doghouse. That's part of why I've been telling people about Buck Allen. That's part of why I like Joe Flacco, because I think they're gonna throw more because they can't believe in Collins. You don't have a second tight end that you could drop instead, bro a second both of the both of my tight

ends just got hurt. Bros. Uh what's his name from the Giants? Evan and got hurt? Ye Evan and Graham's the other one, and then uh oh j Howard got hurt. So I'm picking somebody up the wire right now, trying to get do it. Do it man, pull the trigger on it. Darren. It's crazy, but you gotta drop Collins. I know you drafted him to be your r B two, but listen, you got cooked banged up anyway. You have to do something in case this for net thing is

wrong is a problem. Right, worst case scenario, you need to be able to ride out Ingram and Yeldon. Right, So yeah, go ahead and do it. Brother man. It's tough, but Darren, yeah, I'll vouch for that. I'm okay with that. Man. All right, and tell everybody up there, Uh, tell everybody up there, go go brew all right, Christian yell as represent represent Next call, last call for the day. We got big Tiler up in Jersey. It was going on, Big Tyler wearing Jersey. Are you like what exit on

the Garden State Parkway? Brother man? Oh? You up north? You up north? But like the Willow Brook mall right. Yeah, I'm from Hoboken. Yeah, I know it. That's about oh a little Hoboken. What's that street where all the bars are on Washington? Yeah, buddy, I'll see you out there on a Saturday afternoon. Get my stroll on, you know, like the week before St. Patty's Day. It's a it's a zoo out there, right, it's pop popping off. All right, Enough about that, Big Tyler. How can I help you

moving forward in week five and beyond? Brother? Hey, so check it out. I just want to get your opinion on this. Um so, due to t Y being out this week, I mean it has a been official, but he's not gonna Yeah. Yeah, with the buys um. I need to pick up a receiver of the wire. So I want to hear your opinion. What do you think Ryan Grant with t Y being now just from sheer volume alone, it's half point ppr or um? What do you think about Christian Kirk owing at the San Fran

this week? Your choices are Grant or Kirk? I mean there's some other guys on the wire, you know what, it's a high stake. I like your idea of Ryan Grant because here's the thing. If t Y is playing, you're playing t Y, right, So if he's playing, so then if not, that creates the opportunity for big time for Grant. And I'm okay with that. And here's the

other reason I'm okay with that. You know, much like I said last week, I think the Pats are gonna boot raise the Colts on Thursday night football at home in New England, right, Andrew. Look they can't run the ball anyway, right, Jack Doyle is already banged up anyway, right, so what is it gonna be? Chester Rogers, Eric Ebro, I'm okay with that. Yeah, I'm okay with that. With the caveat that t WI is not there. But if t Y is there, Tyler, you I because you run

an not t Y like that. That's why I would go with it. Because Christian Kark, I don't think it's really a like. It doesn't give you that value. This way, you could play it either way. On Thursday night at what about a deep fireman have a good feeling if Cobb and Allison are out this week, a look could be he can make some noise and for Rogers could be. I don't think he's gonna be the number two options though.

And here's the thing that's like a one week thing, max right, Grant I think has more staying power than that Tyler Um. So I hear what you're doing, but I personally think Cobb will be back. I actually think there's a good chance Geronimo gets clear too. So I understand you're thinking on it and you gotta pull the trigger for Thursday night football in advance, right, But uh, I like the Grant way better, brother, Thanks man, I

appreciate your help. Good night any time, brother man, any time for anybody out there in the stats over beat site for um Danny Otto, let's bring you back in real quick. Chubb coming in for hide I agree with you, Terry, are that the ascension, the changing of the scales is happening right now. Um whoever's asking about Allison? I love Geronimo Allison. I actually think, yeah, I know he's got dinged up. He's in the cold, dark, quiet room for a little while. But I think the way this is going,

we've seen it. I've been saying it for a while. Cobb is on the on the decline. Allison is going to be that wide receiver too when you need him in the Fantasy playoffs. Okay, so jump out the plane and go Geronimo. That's what I'm saying. Hey, Jim Ross, well we can. We're facing each other, brother man. I hope you ain't got anybody on buys Jim Ross, Hey, Danny, let me bring you in real quick though, because I know it's a big week and popping off right it is,

because it's Comic Con time. It is. Talk to me, what is popping off doing for Comic Con? Brother man. We're gonna try to do anything and everything we possibly can. We're going to Comic Con as a show, so me co host Pete and Ashley and the extended co host team. There's gonna be like five or six of us there. What's up real quick, Danny, though, I'm sorry, Danny is lous. Yes, you could drop Peyton Barber. Sorry, keep going? Um, yeah, I mean we're we're going to grab as many interviews

as we can. We're gonna do as much as we possibly can in person and filming it. We're gonna have a camera crew following us around. And yeah, nice a Germ's main. Uh, Sanders over Boyd slightly, though, I'd find a way to get them both in digs and Woods already in. I'd find a way to get Sanders in and maybe flex Boyd. All right, that's the way I would go. How about Aaron Jones for Boyd? Interesting? I like Aaron Jones. I think he's gonna be the running

back of note for the Green Bay Packers. And then you've got a very special event coming up on Sunday, right, Danny want to tell the people about that? I do. Uh, So Sunday we're gonna have a Comic Con wrap up special, but also it's going to be a preview of the new season of Walking Dead, Yeah, buddy, and we will be joined in studio with the actor that plays the character Jesus on The Walking Dead. Nice, and then there's gonna be I believe, a viewing party, our restaurants, versa versa,

if they allow it. I don't know, but with Cracking, Cracking Rum is gonna be sponsoring the event and making drinks and stuff like that. So that is what's up. Y'all need to check out my boys, Danny Auto. Y'all need to check out Popping Off. They do good stuff over there, pop culture, comic con. If you're into that in any way, shape or form. All right, they took a little fantasy as well, but usually just Danny referring you to whatever I've said previously pretty much. But it's

all good. I like that a Jim Ross shots on you in March. Let's do it, brother man. That's what I'm talking about. Find that week. Let me tell you stats over each site for the week that Jim Ross and I are playing each other. I gotta look at it all, I'm saying, Jim, is I really hope it's not the week that Alvin Kamara is on by? Because I got Alvin Kamara. Watch would be the week the

Saints are on by? And then you're gonna take me when I'm you know, not at a hundred percent, and you know I'll mention that right here on the Fantasy Freestyle with your boy speeds and spitting statisticians, stable genius and vocal minority. Thanks to everybody who was smashing that like button all right, follow me on Twitter at spitting speeds if you want to call in and hit me up,
