You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned in to the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Up next on that site book on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
It's your boy, Dane Martinez a k A Speeds a k A to Spitting Statistician ay k A the stable Genius and vocal Minority, and were welcome to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network episode three hundred and forty. My thanks and appreciation to the stats over Beat Cipher for dealing with your boys spitting speeds for three hundred and forty episodes, and we got another good one for you.
We are going into Week eight of the fantasy football season. Here's we're gonna do. I got people clamoring for what defenses they need to stream this week. I'm gonna tell you, Okay, I've been telling you defenses for the last couple of weeks, and I've been doing pretty good. I'm sorry about those who went with Detroit last week, but I've been telling you about Indianapolis the last couple of weeks. I'm gonna tell you right now, I like a stream again against
the Oakland Raiders. The Oakland Raiders are a dumpster fire. They are blunt, guts trashed. They continue to defecate the mattress and send everybody away. Because you know, Gruden is on a ten year plan in Vegas. He don't give a damn about the Oakland Raiders veterans, he don't give a damn about the Oakland fan base. Alright, So we're gonna get into that a little bit later on. I'm gonna give you the defenses to stream. I'm gonna give you some DFS thoughts, all right, I'm gonna tell you
which games to stack. I'm gonna talk to you about my picks for some of the Spotlight games of the week. We will preview Thursday Night football at the end of the show, and we're gonna answer your questions for the stats overbeat Cipher. Alright, we'll give out that number to call. I see you guys already on the chat room strong style. I like that A hundred is a good goal. We're out of eleven already. Hey, we got we got two
people already that are disliking let's sitting statistician. But that's okay. Let's hop on into it. If you ain't like it. Hey, that's the beauty of the interwebs these days. There's a lot of other places you can go. Let's get into it. Though. Jack Doyle is back at practice, okay, And I think this is interesting because we've been rotting with Eric Ebron for a long time. Right listen, t Y Hilton returned
uh last week. Jack Doyle may come back. Okay. That impacts some thinking with some of these other guys on the cult, so be careful about that. On the Indianapolis side, I think that is interesting. Marlon Mack was also downgraded from yesterday to d n P today. That is trending in the wrong direction. Okay, so keep an eye out on that. I listen, Marlon Mack is about to seize the brass ring here. I think ultimately he's gonna be out there. I think they are managing his reps, but
definitely keep an eye out on that. I gotta tell you something though, if you're a stature of Beat Cipher fan, if you've been with me for a while here on the Fantasy Freestyle and other shows, you know you know you know how I do the nicknames and some of the sing songy nicknames, or I would stephon, can you
exit the stereotype, Adam, I gotta ceiling. But one of the first ones I ever did on this network was my Jets running back my man Boom Boom bilal pal Pal and here from the Fantasy Freestyle, the status of Beat Cipher. I want to tip our cap and acknowledge blah pal he's going to I R He's gonna have a neck surgery. It looks like okay, and I'm gonna tell you right now, I am you know his career is in jeopardy, all right. I'm a Jets fan. I'm a Blaw Powell fan, and so you know, first things first,
I hope you get better. I hope you all eight alright, but listen, he's gonna be a running back on the wrong side of thirty coming off a neck injury. I think that could be an issue the fantasy impact though in the short term. Listen, I boost Isaiah crow Well. I think now crow Well. Listen, they were in a time share, right and now crow Well is like the only dog left there. Okay, there's two other names I think you need to know though in New York. One
is Trenton Cannon. He's the kind of shaking, baked ricky Bobby back that they've been utilizing a little bit in the passing game and on third downs. However, I wouldn't go for him. The name you need to know or remember is Elijah McGuire. Okay, I'm telling you guys right now. Elijah McGuire is a guy that the Jets organization was high on going into the season. Then he got injured. Elijah McGuire is a guy that my guy, Emery Hunt, the tsar of the playbook, you may remember at My
Boy Emery. He was really high on Elijah McGuire as well. They have plans for Elijah McGuire, and Elijah McGuire is um available to come off the pup list, not this week, but next week. So don't go ahead crazy with Trenton Cannon. I think Elijah McGuire is gonna be the B side to Isaiah crow Well's a side in this time share by the time the Fantasy playoffs moved along. And let me tell you something, guys, I've been talking. I gave
you early warning about Leonard Fournette. I gave you early warning about Ja g i e. I gave you early warning about you know, Dalve excuse me, Dante Freeman, um and others. And I've been telling you, guys every week for the last couple of week. I am concerned about Dalvin Cook. I'm concerned about Dalvin Cook. I've been telling y'all for the better part of the last month that Lat Murray you need to get that Lat Murray is
a good DFS play. And now the Minnesota Vikings come out and say they believe Dalvin Cook is going to be out until week eleven. Okay, so that's another what month from now? All right, So if you haven't listened, to me before. Please listen to me now. Lat Murray is going to be the horse in Minnesota for the foreseeable future. Okay, a lot of trades going on, lots of trades going on already this week. The Giants have traded away Eli Apple, have traded away Damon Snacks Harrison.
The Raiders are doing a fire sale as well, right, moving Lynch to I R. You know about their trade of Khalil Mack. They traded a Marii Cooper earlier this week. So that brings me to my poll question. My poll question is it looks to me like the Raiders, and to a lesser extent, maybe the Giants are tanking quite frankly, right, they've waived the white flag on the season. They're moving
in ahead, and they're trying to collect assets. That's what it looks like to me, right, So I know we've seen other teams and other sports do this, right, the Cubs, the Astros, the Royals in Major League Baseball over the period of years. Obviously the pre eminent example of this is in basketball with the Philadelphia seventies sixers, and they are now starting to reap the benefits, right, and beat and Simmons and maybe even faults. Right, My question is
does that work in the NFL? Would that work in the NFL? Can you also in essence quote unquote trust the process in the NFL? That is my poll question right now, and my options are yes, trust the process. Option B is only if you got a ten year contract like John Gruden does in fact have or is it Nope, No you can't. All right, That's what I
want to know. Do you think you can quote unquote tank seasons in the NFL the same I kind of don't think it works the same way because in basketball, if you get that stud star, that generational talent, that Lebron James, that Ben Simmons guy that's one of five on the floor, one stud basketball player can do a whole lot for their team. Lebron James was in the Eastern Conference finals like eight years in a row. Right.
In football, I don't think that's the case. You know, you could put David Johnson, who everybody thinks it's a great back on one team, but if you ain't got an on line, if you ain't got the right scheme, it doesn't work. So I actually don't think tanking works in the NFL because you got you know, eleven guys on the field. You got fifty three men on a roster. It's much different than the NBA. So I don't really
think it works. However, I think Gruden is doing it and I'm okay with that approach because he knows he's not accountable to Oakland or they're his current veterans right now.
What he's trying to do is position himself with a stockpile of either draft picks, assets or young ascending players that these draft picks will turn into right when they move to Vegas, right so that there's buzz about the new ocation, right so people come out and watch, so that people are excited about the arrow pointing up on the Raiders when they are that when they're actually in Las Vegas. That's what I think is the uh wait to do it? Okay, that's that's that's how he's doing
it right now. I don't know if it's gonna work or not, but that's the way I think they are going. All right, um, check this out, guys. I got good fella on the chat room. He's saying Woods, Michael Thomas or Juju to pick two. That is tough. If big al if you respond, it's a good fella that is tough, all right, I would listen, it's hard to say that, Um, of those, I love Juju and his matchup. You gotta love him. You gotta love Woods, especially because there's no cup.
You gotta love Michael Thomas. Good fellow. What I would say is, honestly, uh, you gotta flex one of them. You gotta start two of them and flex the other. I would find it hard to believe that. Let's say, right now, good fella, I say the answer is Michael Thomas and Woods. I would find it hard to believe that you have a better option than Juju, that you would be able to flex. Good fellow. I'm gonna tell you something. Those are like hashtag first world problems, brother man.
So I like what you're doing right there. Uh snorkel ops as well, asking a question. I need some help and need why receive two for my stand league Golladay or t Y Hilton. I mean, you know I love Golladay. You know I love Golladay. Um, t Y listen. Last week in his kind of week back, he did have two touchdowns, right, so that's great, but he didn't like he only had like four catches or so um. I love Golladay, but I think I think unfortunately, I think you gotta go t Y. I think you gotta go
t Y strong style. You're right, you think Watson might go to I R. McCoy might go to I R. I've been saying it. I've been saying it for a while, and they just play on Thursday Night football in a couple of minutes right in about an hour where I also believe DeShawn Watson will not finish the season. Listen, the organization wouldn't put him on a plane last week because they knew that he a health risk. They knew
that his lungs were being compromised. Yet they think it's okay to have him behind that dumpster fire, blunt, guts trash offensive line with a pass rush coming like tonight what Cameron Wake is coming breathing down his ass behind that offensive line. I don't think he's gonna make it either. Brother, I don't think he's gonna make it either personally. But hey, I digress. All right, here's what I want to get into. Okay, I want to start with some DFS thoughts. I'm wanna
start with some DFS thoughts. I want to tell you something, um where I'm going with some of my plays, give you some you know, general thoughts, and then maybe specific guys. Get you ready. Because remember here on Fantasy Freestyle, I do not merely give you a fish. I teach you how to fish so you can win your leagues and
win that cash. Remember, the first thing we do is we look at the high totals, right, and so a lot of these games aren't on the slate, The London games not on the slate right Sunday night, it's a big total with the Saints and the Vikings not on the slate. Okay, So I'm looking at the games that are Listen, Green Bay and l A A lot of points put ptential there, Oakland and Indianapolis in the fifties, lot of potential there, Tampa Bay and since fifty four
and a half, a lot of potential there. And the last one is the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs. Lot of potential in those matchups. So I'm gonna be trying to play in those matchups. That's where you're gonna see the Lions share of my guys this week. Okay. In fact, I am attacking the Oakland Raiders defense, because I think that that team is unraveling. Okay, quite frankly, Um, there's a lot of beef in that locker room. They don't trust Gruden. Everyone's like, oh am, I next, Remember
they're also depleted. I'm attacking, uh, the Oakland Raiders. So I'm stacking up some Indianapolis Colts. Give me Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck versus twenty six ranked defense in the NFL, and listen Andrew Luck. Remember he's one of those guys I say puts the ball up a ton of times.
Listen also in the last four weeks. Okay, last week against Buffalo four touchdowns, week before that against the Jets four touchdowns, The week before that on Thursday night against the Patriots three touchdowns, The week before that against Houston four touchdowns. Remember this is a team that also does not have much of a run game to speak of, even less if they don't have Marlon Mack. So they are going to be throwing the ball even in the red zone. I like Andrew Luck at eight three hundred.
I'm attacking the Oakland Raiders. Who do I stack him with? Here's where I'm going. I'm going differently than most. Okay, we just talked about t Y Hilton. Yes, t Y Hilton is the best pass catching option. But I'm going a little bit lower because I don't want to pay all that money. You can get t Y Hilton at hundred. You can get Chester Rogers at fifties six hundred, and he is the number two wide receiver. I think it'll
be open there as well. So I'm gonna take Andrew Luck Chester Rogers, but I'm not done in this game. I'm also I know Jack Doyle may be back, but I'm still going with Eric Ebron. This would be his first game back. I think Eric Ebron continues to have Andrew Lux. I I think he will continue to get targets. Eric Ebron has been a stud. Are you kidding me? You know, listen, he's got four touchdowns in his last four games, and he's been getting double digit targets in
three of his last five games. Okay, and he's got like seven targets and the other ones. I think he is still going to be productive, and I think he's gonna be lower owned this week because people are like, oh, Jack Doyle might come back, right, So I like Andrew Luck. I like Chester Rogers. I like Eric Ebron on the other side of that game with the trade of Mariy Cooper. If you look at these wide receivers, Martavis Bryant and Jordie Nelson are both down at fifty three hundred dollars.
I think Jordy Nelson is gonna get a lot of uh targets and this one. I think this is gonna be a back and forth game. I think it's gonna be a higher scoring game. Remember I started by telling you this game has a total in the fifties. So I like Jordy Nelson. All right, So I've got Chester Rogers and Jordy Nelson as two of my whiteouts. I've given you Andrew Luck as a quarterback, Eric Ebron as a tight end. Right. So now I'm going to that
Tampa Cincinnati game. Right. We know about the Tampa secondary. We know about that they give it up. They have no one who can deal with a J. Green. So a J. Green is in my lineup atred member. I spent less money for Chester Rodgers at fifty six, Jordy Nelson at fifty three. Okay, so that's where I'm going there. Uh for running backs, I haven't touched those, yet they're gonna be a factor of this next man up. First of all, because of the Ballal Powell news. I have
Isaiah crow Well. I know that he's facing the Bears. I understand that they're a good defense. Okay, I understand that, But he now has much more opportunity and the lion's share of the snaps and the touches, and his price is, you know, lower than that. I think he's a value, and I think Crowell does a little in the passing game at as well. I like Isaiah Crowell at six thousand dollars on fan duel my other two running backs
that I'm gonna put in because I'm flexing Crowell. Right, I told you about how the Giants just traded away Damian snacks Harrison. That is going to leave a big hole in that run defense of the New York Giants. Who's playing the Giants this week? The Washington football team. Who's the lead back in Washington, who honestly has been putting it in my eye all year long, and I've never believed in him. It's Adrian Peterson, all right. And Adrian Peterson at ninety nine yards last week, the week
before that, ninety seven yards. Okay, but he hasn't gotten in the end zone. I think he can against this Giants defense. And then the last game that was a high total Denver in Kansas City that I wanted to get into. Give me Kareem Hunt. The Denver Broncos are thirty feet in the NFL against the run game when they played Denver last time around on October one. In that game, Kareem Hunt had a hundred twenty one yards his season high. He had a touchdown, He had another
fifty four yards in the past game. It was a twin five point effort, one of his best in the season. Give me Kareem Hunt as well. There are some DFS thoughts. When I come back, we'll answer some chat room questions and what we'll also do is, you know, we'll get into those uh we'll get into those defenses to stream
because I know people want that. All right, Fantasy Freestyle with your boy speed and spitting statisticians, stable genius and vocal minority tam Ross where you at, you can help me set my lineup for what fantasy Freestyle com All right back from the NFL to the NBA Daily Rohodo dot Com is the place to win millions in Daily Fantasy.

Brocome back right here Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's boy Dane Martinez. Um, guys, I know you're trying to smash these likes, but what's up? What's up Lance? What's up Strong Style? What's up? Random astion
out there? Random ation? Five thirty three? No on your Trent Cannon? Okay, I mentioned it at the top of the show. Elijah McGuire coming off the pup list, and I think he's the guy that Jets are gonna want in that PPR kind of roll. Alright, So no, I would not worry about Cannon right now. I do think Isaiah Corwell gets boosted up though, and uh. Also random astion. No, I would not move Kelsey even for a B. Kelsey is the number one tight end along with arch Right
and Gronk. A B is a little bit down, and I think wide receiver, even elite wide receiver, is deeper. I would not right now move Zach Ertz or Travis Kelsey for almost anything, you know, I mean, because that tight end it's so valuable there. You'll have a week to week advantage every single week. So I would not do that, Okay, I would not. I would keep Kelsey and be very very happy about it. All Right, here's
what we're gonna do. Um we got hoop Kids thirty two asking me and standard which running back do I start? Carry on? Johnson, mark Ingram or Marlin mack Uh. Well, Mac has banged up a little bit. I do think ultimately he's going to start, but they have acknowledged he's not a percent, so we'll see about that. And Wop Kid.
I don't know how new you are to the stats overbeat Cipher, but one of these guys I've been on for a long time as an ascending running back, and it is when you lost that alone and you're sinking like a stone. Carry on on. I love carry on Johnson, and I continue to think he will be a good viable start for you. Bone bone crush, John Brown or Fuller tonight. I'm all Fuller tonight, Guys. I've made this point a number of times, and let me try to
teach people how to fish here. Okay, ultimately, Brown crush. My answer is John Brown. Let me explain to you why I'm down on will Fuller. Will Fuller is the take the top off, the defense guy, the deep threat, right the Deshaun Jackson with hands. Maybe you know that kind of guy, all right. My problems with Deshaun Watson right now are one that the offensive line or blunt guts trash right, but too, Deshaun Watson is now starting to hear the footsteps. You need protection to take a
five and seven step drop for those deep passes. And Deshaun Watson is now at the point where he is starting to feel the rush, see the rush, and taking his eyes from downfield to evade the rush. And I think that compromises the kind of routes that will Fuller runs, if that makes sense. Okay, So that's what I think is the real issue there. So for that reason, I'll take Johnny Brown. Don p is asking me Jordan Howard
a Geronimo Allison. Listen for that kind of thing. When we're talking about a running backwards wide out, I really need to know the format PPR standard. In UM. In standard, I would lean to the running back Jordan Howard, But in PPR I would lean to Geronimo Allison. Okay, and I know Jordan Howard hasn't gotten the usage as much lately. I think they're gonna win against the Jets. I think they're gonna need Jordan Howard to run the clock out in the second half. I'll also say this my Survivor
pick this week. Okay, there's a number of large spreads, but the one I am on, and this is coming from a Jets fan, is the Chicago Bears. Okay, the Chicago Bears are at home. Their defense is starting to get um talked about in a less positive light. I think they make a statement here. I think they turned Sam Donald in the Jets over a number of times. Sam Donald has been showing his propensity to throw picks and fumble. I think the Bears are make a statement
their defense specifically. And also, you know Trabinsky continues to ascend. So there we go. For the next question, Larry M is asking me Drew Brees or Mitchell tre Whiskey. Slowdown, It's still Drew Brees though, Okay. I like Mitchell Drewisky in all, and I think he's a great bye week fill in right. If you a lot of people have Philip Rivers on a bye. I acknowledge that some people might have Matt Ryan on a bye. I had one
of my guys. I think he's Harry Henderson. I think he's in the chat room right now talking about how he has Rivers on a bye And it's like Ryan with case Keenum. You know, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, right. I don't. I think there's better options. But you got case Keenum for this week when you knew Rivers had to buy right, So I would go though Drew Brees in that situation, Larry M. Santiago is that Santiago B is asking me Rogers or Luck this weekend?
Rogers against those Rams. Andrew Luck. He's my DFS quarterback. I'm attacking the Oakland Raiders. He's had four touchdowns pretty much every week. I like Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck also gives you rushing potential that Rogers doesn't. And Rodgers remembers against the Los Angeles Rams this week, I would go Andrew luck Hurrah, Gerardo are asking me Godwin a Mendola or Funchius again in EPR you like Amendola because of
the targets and that sort of thing. I think my answers Amendola regardless, because Miami this week they really got nobody else. Remember Albert Wilson we think is on. I r uh, Kenny Stills we think is out. So Amandola would be it for me? Last one right now, snorkel ops wide receive a two. Golladay or t Y Hilton. I think we answered that question before already. I'm begrudgingly I go with t Y Hilton, even though you know I love Goda day because it would be so nice.
All right, let's get into a few defenses to stream. Okay, And first of all, what I want to refer you to, okay, is um my guy, the King Scott Angle, who you here with me? And mornings on Rhodo Experts in the morning from seven to eight a m uh every day Monday through Friday. Um he put together his weekly ranks and all that you can get that is part of the exclusive edge package, right, And he does ranks and you know, we talked about those on Thursday, and I look at some of those as well, and then I
put my own two cents and spin on it. Right. So here's what I'm thinking about in terms of defenses, who, because of their matchup, are a little bit higher this week than most. The first I've told you already the Indianapolis Colts. I'm attacking the Oakland Raiders. Um, I think they're gonna get some sacks. Remember the Cults are actually like third or fourth in the NFL and sacks. They have like twenty sacks already on the year. I think they're gonna get some sacks. And I think they're gonna,
you know, uh, turn Derek car over a couple of times. Right, So that's definitely one. Another one I kind of like this week. And I know this sounds crazy, is uh the Seattle Seahawks. Don't look now, but Seattle is in a good place. Okay. Seattle actually again has like a top five defense. They're coming off of buy and stuff like that. So I think Seattle could be an interesting defense to stream as well this week, even though I
do think Detroit could win that game. Um, another defense that I like is tonight tonight, I like, to be honest, maybe both defenses. I think this is gonna be a low scoring game tonight. Honestly, you know how I will never pick an under in the NFL again, because there's two thousand and eighteen and there's penalties, and there's you know, pass interference and like everything is slated for offense. But this is a low total tonight at forty four, and
I think it's warranted. I think this could be one of those stinkers, you know, brock Oswidler. Uh, It's not a revenge game from brock Oswiler. It's a revenge game for J. J. Watt, Clowney, Merciless, all of them against brock Oswidler, paying them damage for you know, being the broken part of that team that would have been a playoff contender. It is, however, in my opinion, maybe a
revenge game for Lamar Miller. Remember he's a former Dolphin, right so um in this game, though, I love the Houston Texans defense all right, I think they're gonna turn brock Oswilder rover. I think they're gonna get some sacks. I think that tonight's game is gonna be a lower scoring game. I would pick the under if someone put a gun to my head, but I'm not giving that out officially. But I do like the Houston Texans as a streaming defense. Let me give you one or two more.
And here's the other one. Look at this game, the San Francisco Arizona game. The San Francisco Arizona game. The total in that one is forty two and a half. That is pretty much the lowest total on the board. Right. Um, I've told you about the Arizona defense. I know they got lit up last Thursday night, but they do have they did have ten days, and I'll attack cejb hard. I'll also on the San Francisco side, attack this Arizona
offense with a new offensive coordinator. Right, Mike McCoy was fired, is Byron left, which really gonna change everything around in ten days for the Arizona Cardinals. I don't think so necessarily, you know what I mean? So, um, that game could be interesting. And then the other low total game that I think you should look at. Um, I'll give you two more is this Washington new York Giants game. Listen,
did you see Monday night football? Did you see how Eli Manning literally has no time to throw and the pocket is collapsing on him. Remember again, and streaming defenses, you are not necessarily looking for points allowed. You're looking for sacks and turnovers. And I think the Washington football team can get to Eli Manning, and Eli Manning goes right into the fetal position right away, just like his
brother used to do. Okay, so um, I like the Washington football team uh as a streaming defense this week? All right, So that's one more. The last one I'll give you is in that Sunday morning game over there in London, Jacksonville and Philly. You know about the Jacksonville defense, and that's already owned, definitely right. But Philadelphia also if you don't have If the Philadelphia defense is unowned, I would take them against Blake Bortles. Blake Bortles is reverting back.
Blake Bortles is on a short leash. We have seen Blake Bortles turn into a pumpkin and back into Bordles service, So you may want to attack that. Those are some of the uh you know that's those are some of the defenses that I would go with, yo, uh snorkel ops. I agree if your league record is seven and oh because the Speeds give it alike, you know what I'm saying. What about the Jags D in London? Yes, obviously, John Adams, definitely. But here's the thing. The Jags D is owned, right.
I'm talking about defenses that you can kind of stream in your season longs, all right, that maybe viable. Let's say, uh, you know, you have one of these defenses on buy, or you have a defense that you like that has a really bad matchup something like that, and you're looking for a streaming defense. This is a viable strategy for people. So that's what I'm talking about, John Adams, I'm talking
about streaming defenses. Obviously, yes, the Jags are strong defense, but I think they're already owned, so they don't necessarily um you know, so they don't necessarily fit this the logic eight oh four exactly. I am fading the teams on fire sale, fading Oakland. That's why I like Indianapolis has a streaming defense. That's why I have Andrew Luck and others in i DFS lineup. And the Giants are playing the Washington football team. Right, That's why I gave
out the Washington defense as a defense to stream. That's why Adrian Peterson is in my DFS lineup, especially with Snacks Harrison. No longer they're plugging up the middle. Okay, so absolutely, Um, that's that's what's up. It's all good, John Adams, it's all good. I am mad at you strong style. Though. We need to slap that. We need to smash that, like button, we only up to forty seven. Let's get up to more than that. Slap nuts. I like Amandola tonight. Yes, I do like Amandola tonight. There's
not many options left. I do like Amandola on the Tuesday Show. Remember I gave out four waiver wire wide receivers and he was one of them. Okay, I like Amndola. I think the wide receivers I gave out where Amndola Christian kirk Um. We gave out Geronimo Allison who was coming back from injury and who was the last one, Oh, Trey Kwon Smith was the last one. We are about to hit fifty lands Davis, what it is? All right? You know what time it is. It's time. And by
the way, people in the status over beat cipher. Oh, snorkel Ops. Yeah, the patch. I'll attack Buffalo, no problem, Derek Anderson, We don't know about Shady McCoy. Yes, absolutely, snorkel Ops. That's another absolutely good one. I like that. The number to call, guys is three F seven seven six seven six six one four. Again, the number to call is three F seven seven six seven. Uh, there's Jim Ross. Three four seven seven six seven six six one four. Jim Ross, give us a call, brother man.
Here's what I wanna do. I want to load up the phone lines, take some calls. Jim Ross. I'm a man of my word. Brother, call in Jim if we get you on the line. In the third segment, here's what we're gonna do. All right, we are going to uh show you my lineup. All right, We're gonna show it. Remember how I showed everybody but my four four tenths of a point victory against the Fantasy Executive last week.
I'm gonna show you the lineup, and I'm gonna if Jim Ross, if you call in, brother, uh, We're gonna talk about how you can help set my line up against you. Here's the one thing I want to show people, though I got it up. We'll zoom in on a little bit later on. But j R, my men, you are seven and oh, all props do to you. Okay, seven and oh, I'm four and three. I'm in the mix, right, I'm in like fifth place right now, I'm in the mix. Big shout out to my guys, you know, if I
got to represent the experts, right, big shout out. Though. Mike Blewett, my co host on f s T, is in like first place or something. Uh. Scott Angle, my co host on Rhodo Experts in the Morning, is in like second place and points. So we are three of the top five people in this league. All right, So I don't want to hear anything about that. We don't know what we're talking about, j R. Jim Ross, you are definitely also a big boy team right at seven
and oh? But why is it Jim Ross? That right now, if we look at it, I'm at favorite my friend call in and help me out with that. All right, let's help me out with that. Um the number call again, three four seven seven six seven six six one four. Let's get the phone lines open. We'll address some calls if we can. In this segment. But Jr, I'm out here for your brother man and the stats over beat. Cipher knows that I am a man of my word.
So if you want to come and get me, if you want some help over here sitting spitting the setting the lineup, I'll allow you to do that, my friend. All right, So get at me. All right. Let's talk about some of these big time games that I think some spotlight games. Um, I think it's very interesting. Um, the London game. I think the London game is very very interesting. You know, a battle of two of the final four teams last year that are now under five hundred.
When they made this game, they thought they were sending a big export out there to London, that it was gonna be a great game. And it's not so far, all right. So these teams are both kind of trending in the wrong direction. But I'm gonna tell you right now, and I'm telling you some of my picks that I give out to the Cipher on Patreon. Um, I'm I'm all over Philadelphia in this game. Three and a half
is not enough to me. Remember the Jacksonville Jaguars right now, Yeah, their defense is solid, right, but you know their offense is a dumpster fire right now. I think Philly treats this as a business trip. I think Philly is a much more professional team. Jacksonville is unraveling. There's fights in the locker room, you know, offense versus defense. That's a bad signal to me. Give me the Philadelphia Eagles in this one. Um. I think zach Ertz is going to
eat in this one. I think another very interesting game here is the Seattle Seahawks and the Detroit Lions. This total is at forty nine. I told you the Seattle defense is an interesting stream, right but I'm still all over carry on Johnson. He has been a guy. I've said it for the last couple of weeks. I think he is continuing to ascend. And I think that after they had their by. What happens when teams have their
by is they self scout right. They try to scout themselves right, and I think they realized that what they need to do to be a more balanced offense and ultimately a better offense as involved. Carry on Johnson more. THEO Riddick is gonna be out again potentially, and carry on Johnson is showing that he can do work in the passing game as well. I love carry On Johnson in this game. I think the Seattle defense is a
decent stream because I think they could get pressure. They may turn over Stafford, but I do think the Detroit Lions ultimately get a W in this one. Let's talk about the big boy games towards the later later on in the slate, the Green Bay Packers in Los Angeles Rams, let me tell you something, Cooper Cup, It's probably not gonna play right. When was the last time you saw Aaron Rodgers as a nine or ten point underdog. I've never seen it before, Okay, And I think the back
door is gonna be open in this one. There's a lot of point total here is fifty seven. That's a hugely high total, right, so I think that I think that Aaron Rodgers is gonna keep up, and I think the backdoor is gonna be open. I really like the Green Bay Packers plus nine points and in that Saints Vikings game, boy, that's a pick him right now. And I'm gonna tell you something that's a tough one for me. I would stay away from this game, but I think
you get everybody there in your fantasy lineups. Maybe Latin, Marie Stefon Diggs, Adam Thilon. This maybe the game that even Kyle Rudolph comes back into play, so we'll keep an eye out on that. Here's what we're gonna do when we come back. The phone lines will be open for the majority of the segment and Jim Ross, brother man, if you call on in, we'll start with you. All right, phone lines are open three four seven seven six seven
six six one four. We'll take your calls from the stats overbeat cipher when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle. You know what it is? Yah Tu, Save Billy Dilley, Jeff the Skeleton. We all in the building. Jim Ross, are you out here as well? We'll find out when we come back. Did you know that You can listen to this show live on the award winning Fancy Sports Radio Network.

We be big pamping on B l A these We be big pimping up in and Ross is just that jigger man in mp U M P bun b baby, that's what it is. I here's we're gonna do. I don't know how this is gonna go,
but you know how we do it. We put the fun and functional sports radio here with the stats over beat cipher. Big shout out to the stats over big cipher, big shout out to the sixties six people who have already hit that like button. Here's what we gotta do. We're gonna answer some phone calls, right, We're gonna help people win their leagues, win that cash. That is, in essence, going to clear out the phone lines for Jim Ross to give us a call and then we could get
into it with our matchup. Alright, so the first caller was Connor and Tampa as usual, Right, Connor, what's going on? Brother man? You on the line as usual? Delly dilly to you know, every single week? What's up on the real how's this team? Two and five? I got tam the homes safe on Barkley, Joe Nix and Mike Thomas, Manny Sanders Man Donald Car. Yeah, you're running into a bus. So every week, Here's what I'm gonna say, Connor. Here's
what I'm gona say. Two things. One, listen, maybe you've had the second highest point total in Louis every week, you know, and just facing a bus. Saw what I do say about this? And I would suggest to your commissioner, or if you're ever a commissioner of the league, there is something, Connor. You could have a setting where, uh, you're actually playing doubleheaders, so you're playing two teams every week, right, So instead of going oh on one or one and oh for a week, you go into one and one
or two and oh. And that helps out a little bit with what you're describing, Connor, right, because maybe you instead of getting unlucky, it mitigates a little bit of that, Connor. That's the only thing I can tell you as a suggestion moving forward. But don't panic, man, don't like listen your team that you reeled off stud names, all right, so just do what you can, Connor. I gotta keep him moving because I want to open this up for JR. But I know I'll talk to you next week, Billy, Billy,
and good luck to you. All right. So now Renee and Callie were taking your call, but this frees up the phone line. Jim Ross give us a hollow right now. His area code is two oh seven. We're gonna take these last two calls. Then we're gonna get to Jim Ross. Let's clear that phone line out, Danny down there in the fantasy pit of misery, so we can get a all on the line. In the meantime, Renee and Callie, you were next up with the status over beach cite
for the spitting statistician here on the fantasy freestyle. Yeah, okay, look, dud U s been Wilson's I called. I used was in Connecticut on Mcallie, so I'm calling from over here. But um yeah, I had had a question about trade. Man, I'm three or four You know, I just want two in a row. So I'm I'm I'm turning upward and um, so I'm being offered mahomes O, b J and White. Um, and I'm good. And they're they're asking for um for um early look and Michelle, wait, say this again. You're
you're getting offered mahomes O, b J and James White? Correct? And who do they want in return? They wanted Girly, they want Michelle, they want Look m And I'm just I'm lacking in life receiver. That's what I'm considering. Because yeah, I hear you. I hear you on that listen. I find it very hard to trade away Todd Gurley at this point in time. You know what I mean. And honestly, when you know, I'm I'm big on the stereotype Sony Michelle,
I think he's gonna be back in a couple of weeks. Also, I understand what you're trying to do in this trade is get O'Dell to help your wide receiver position. But I wouldn't do it in a way that uh means you got to give up these two studs. Bro Renee. I'd pass on that. I try and have a simpler deal to get a wide receiver that you need. Okay, all right, thanks a loud renee. I see uh, I see you out there, gym Ross. I got one more call and then we're gonna get into it. All right,
brother man, Dan and Jersey. What's up? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle? How can we help you in week eate and beyond? I'll keep quick at that. Yeah, I just some flex thoughts. I'm starting. I'm starting, wait to say that again. Who are those options? I didn't get that boys Mac and mac mac mode start and who Tyler Boyd? Is this PPR or is it standard? All right? So here's the thing, Um, I have an incomplete answer for you, Dan.
I like Marlon Mack, but you gotta keep an eye on the injury reports, okay, because he didn't practice today, all right. So if you get uh inspiring reports on max health, then my answer is Marlon Mack. If not, then my answer is Tyler Boyd. Does that make sense? Dan? All right? Thanks a lot? All right, j R? Where you at? Brother man? Welcome? You are obviously down with
the stats over beat cipher dilly dilly uh. We've we've chilled a couple of times at this draft of the Grenite Street Tavern at the auction for the Baseball League. You know we've had a beer too. Welcome to the fantasy Freestyle on the phone, JR. How are you feeling, brother? I'm feeling pretty good. All right, you should be feeling good, JR. I gotta tell you, Jim. First of all, props to you. Okay, I'll give you this. You are seven and oh, my friend,
are absolutely doing it? You are seven? And oh, however, can we zoom in on this? Can we zoom on on? This? Guy's alright? And everybody's gonna see this. J right, Let's let's room in on this guys. Let's zoom in right now. JR. How is it though that you're seven and oh I'm four and three? Yet if you look right now, I'm a fifty favorite. How are you feeling? You're confident, You're feeling good. I don't think you're refreshed because I made a couple of changes. Let's see who we got. Let's
see who we got, alright, I see what you're doing. Alright? Cool, alright, So here, I am a man of my word, JR. I am going to allow you to pick a couple of things Okay, A lot of my A lot of my spots are you know set. My quarterback going against she was going to be Big Ben this week. My running backs going against you this week, which, by the way, I think is where I have my advantage against you is Alvin Kamara and Joe Mixon. I ain't messing with those, Okay,
he years where we have a question. You know, I didn't do great at my wide receiver position. Like I drafted Doug Baldwin to be like my first second wide out. I've had a couple of other wide outs that have underperformed for me, Allan Robinson being one of them. Here are some of the wide receivers I have though, Robert Woods, who I like, Chris Godwin who I like, Golladay, who you know how I feel about, Then this Baldwin. I also own tray Kwon Smith who's ascending. And then I
have on Chicago Taylor Gabriel and Alan Robinson. All Right, j R. Here's the deal. I'm definitely starting Woods, Okay, Um, I probably want to start Golladay, I probably want to start Godwin, But I'm open um. Which are the Bears wide receivers? Would you want me to start? Against you, Allen Robinson or Tyler Gabriel. Uh, personally, you want me to start Gabriel. Yeah, that's true. I'm not gonna I'm
not gonna take a zero, okay, So Gabriel Okay. But then because I'm gonna probably flex one of these guys, okay, because my flex guy has been like Dion Lewis, who's on a bye blah blah blah. So I'm looking at Doug Baldwin, Tyler Gabriel, and Trey Kwan Smith. Okay, and you could throw Godwin in there as well. All right, Godwin, tray Kwan Smith, Taylor Gabriel, and uh, who's my other one? Baldwin? Good? Which two of those? Do? I start ahead? I stick with Godwin personally you want me? So you want me
to sell Godwin against you? I would keep god in the spot you have him in. Okay. So then in the flex we're looking at Baldwin, Gabriel or tray Kwan Smith. What do you want me to do? Brother? I kind of think it's gonna be a Gabriel week. Are you? Are you? Are you reverse psychology? And me? Are you being authentic? Here? JR? No? I'm serious. I thought that last week I actually message you that or not. Sorry Tuesday, Remember Tuesday, I was I'd probably put in Gabriel, right, Um,
it's a coin flip between him and Smith. To be honest with you, in mine, not Baldwin. Not Baldwin. I don't like Baldwin personally. I hear you one more time, Okay, I have to see it one more time. So it sounds like to you j R. For me and my flex spot, it is between Taylor Gabriel and tray Kwan Smith, right, Yes, sir, I am completely okay with either one. I mean, I think Tayler Gabriel, you know, he's kind of definding ways to find him the ball, especially if there's no Allen Robinson,
Trabinsky sort of ascending. I like the role Gabriel's playing in that offense. That's why I picked him up. And tray Kuan you know, listen, this guy's number two wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints and Drew Brees right, and that game's in the fifties for a total. So I'm okay with this. Who do you want me to flex against? You? Brother Taylor Gabriel a tray Kuan Smith. In my opinion. Sure, I think that that's a actually
gonna have Mitchell Trabinsky running a little bit. And I think that Gabriel personally may get some junk yards and touchdowns. I like Gabriel, That's just my opinion. I have on the bench in my home league and Godwin in or my other league. Yes, I would go Gabriel alright. So here's what we're doing, guys. Right now, I'm making a switch. I am putting in Gabriel in my flex spot right now for Doug Baldwin. I am saving the change and I'm setting the lineup. You know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna even give you one more call to make, brother man. I am listen. I acknowledge. I'm almost pumping tight end right right now. I have c j Usuma in there, all right. And I could, however, also go Jesse James. I could also go Ricky Seals Jones. You want me to put in I have Uzma right now. You want me to put R. S j or Jesse James in against you? Can we trade McDonald's and somebody for one of those running backs? What do you mean? I can't? We can't make trades in this league. I know.
I'm okay. You know the sarcasm was lost on me. In my bed um, I would keep in who you have, You're gonna keep it all right, So there you have it. I made the change. I let's now let's look at your team. Let's look at your team. Jim Mo Slice, alright, so we got we got we got TB twelve. All right, we got TB twelve going on starting against me. Cool Christian McCaffrey in there. And by the way, guys, this is a PPR league. Uh, Latin Murray, that's who you
know I've been saying. I like, so I'll give you that. Your wide receivers are studs, bro. Your wide receiver. Like I said, I think I have the running back edge on you. I like Kamara and mixing over CMC and Latin Murray, but you crushed me when it comes to wide out's okay. I'm over here trying to find ascending guys like Golladay and Godwin. You're going at me with Michael Thomas, Manny Sanders and Jarvis Landry. That's where you have your edge. Brother, I'll give it to you. Trey
Burton as a tight end. Love it. Although I need the Gabriel right right, So that's the thing I need. I need all these things to go to Gabriel and maybe a r we'll see and then you're gonna go Jaylen Rashard. That's another great pickup, brother, man. I really like what you're doing. Um, you know, I like Vance McDonald, but you gotta stay with Trey Burton. I respect you here that you got the Dolphins tonight though, Huh. Just
made that change just for the heck of it. You're going to Dolphins tonight as opposed to the Philadelphia Eagles against Blake Bortles in London. Huh? What is it that you want to watch the game? You got a late Saturday night going on. You're not gonna see it on Sunday morning? What's up? Uh? No, no, no, the Eagles couldn't even turn over Eli Manning with the Eagles. To be honest with you, I think it had changed it make it exciting tonight for a couple of hours while
I watched the game. All right, fair enough, so listen, Uh listen, bro, you are seven and oh deservedly so. You have a solid squad. You just mentioned you made a switch. I made a switch and it has switched it in your favor. Right, So you are projected to get a hundred fifty six point three. Currently I am projected to get a hundred fifty one point three, So JR. You are projected to beat me by five points. Good
luck to you, j R. Dilley, Dilley, my friend. I'm gonna tell you this because I do see you sometimes you come on into the city and I appreciate that. Brother. Um, you want a bet, will bet a beer on this one, Bro, next time I see a shot in a beer, shot in a beer, all right, little jam and a chase or something like that.

You're excited about that? To nothing? Leads your bosox? Have? Yeah, you know, what do you think happens when it Walker Bueller Game three? Out there in l A. You don't think l a change of scenery? It gets a little bit different. Listen. Also, you've been throwing out those lefties, right,

Hey go ahead, listen, they're gonna sack the Shawn Watson. A few times. I've been saying that offensive line is a problem, uh the Miami defense. Listen, JR. Knows what he's talking about. All right, So I, um, I appreciate that. I appreciate j R. And listen, I appreciate the stats
overbeat Cipher as you know. Um, Danny, what do you think? What do you think, JR? Do you think I'm gonna take JR? Out? Or you think he's got me. I mean, the only thing that scares me is when you were describing the wide receivers he has, and he's got stud he's got stud wide outs, He's got stud wide outs. But I got the running back edge. Alvin Kamara and Joe Mixon give me a running back edge. I will completely acknowledge Michael Palmas, Manny Sanders, uh, Landry, those are studs.
Landry is like his wide out three right now, so he's definitely got a good set of wideouts. Um, but we'll go after it. You know. A big shout out to my new patreons Chris Durretto, Nathan Wright, and also my eight uh my weekate cipher picks are up already on Patreon UM seventeen and thirteen so far. That's fifty seven percent. That's on par with all these cats out there in Vegas. I also want to check in on
the poll question that we have right now. Fifty eight percent of you say yes, trust the process and in the NFL you can in fact tank I don't think it's gonna work out as well. But hey, percent of you say only with a ten year contract like Gruden has, and you say Nope, No, you cannot. I tend to agree with those guys. Hey, Danny, what you got going on? On? Popping off? Brother popping off? We are joined in studios like Jimmy, one of our good friends who owns a
comic bookshop in New York. Nice. I think I met him in the studio. I think you did. Yeah, he's a really nice guy. It's gonna be awesome.
