the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is. It's your point, Dane Martinez, a K A Speed t K to Spitting Statistician, and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out to anybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio, and to everybody watching live with our newest viewers on the Fantasy Sports Network. YouTube streamed. So many ways to get in touch with me.

If you want this hour, you can holler at us at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You can comment on the YouTube stream, leave a couple of questions if you want. We'll get to them during the show. And we have Twitter polls up like every day. Okay at Spitting Speeds at F and T s Y Radio. Today we are talking. We've talked about the wide receivers earlier this week, we are moving on to another position. No, it is not reverse cow girl. The position we're talking

about today is tight end. We're gonna talk about our tight end diamonds in the rough. I got a couple of options on the poll. Do you like Eric Ebron, Do you like Hunter Henry? Do you like Austin Hooper? Do you like someone else? Let us know. We're getting a great response on Twitter right here, right now, already a lot of people talking about diamonds in the rough for tight ends. I'm gonna give you a couple of guys that I think you can target and why you

can wait. I got some people that are not even being drafted at all in twelve team leagues that I think could return some value before we get into my tight ends. When we come back on our first segment, what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about what is next for a couple of players in the NFL where I guess a player who's not actually in the

NFL right now, what is next for Zeke Elliott? And why if you are the Cowboys, or if you are a fantasy football owner of Zeke Elliott, why you probably actually want him to drop this appeal and serve the suspension. We'll get into that in a little while. And also listen, Mike Colin Kaepernick find his way onto an NFL roster. There is one m v P who thinks that he should, and I'm gonna talk about a couple of places where

he might still end up this NFL season. Also, I mentioned to you before, J J. Watt is doing big things. We tipped our cap to him yesterday's show. The fundraising continues later on in this episode of Fantasy Freestyle, We're gonna get another update from J. J. Watt about the fun raising he is doing to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Okay, we got other news and notes to get into. Like I said, we're also going to talk about some other championships that have been crowned over the

last week. And listen, I know fantasy football drafts are coming up and coming fast and furious. I know I've been in a couple already. There's a couple going on right here, right now at Studio thirty four and Rock and Riley's in midtown Manhattan. All Right, So I got a couple of ideas also, if you want to kind of like spice up your fantasy league. If you think it's getting a little stale, try these ideas on for size. I'll tell you about those a little bit later on.

Chris Bovona with me on the ones and two. It's keeping. It's so hot that we sweat steam.

bringing you back. We dropped stats over beats right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, the boy Dane Martinez speed and spittings statisticitions like I mentioned, the phone lines are open at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, and Chris, let's get right to some of the callers. We've got it. Sounds like we've got Blake in Dallas. He's got a question about t Y Hilton. Blake, how you do when you're on the Fantasy Freestyle? Which boy

speeds spitting statistician was up? Hey, um drafted in the second round. I'm just wondering should I trade him? Like? What what did his value do with Andrew Luck and his his injury. Yeah, I don't know if you heard yesterday's show. Uh, t Y Hilton actually was one of my wide receiver gay zees. Someone to forget about. And there's a lot of reasons why you talked about the implications and the ripple effects of the Andrew luck injury, right,

and I think that is absolutely huge. Okay, I think that is a big fear for any t Y Hilton owner. But here's the thing, honestly, Blake, there's two other reasons that I expect regression from t Y Hilton, and thanks for the call. The first is that last season, e Y Hilton led the NFL in receiving yards with four hundred and forty eight yards. It is natural to expect a little bit of regression from that, right. And here's the other thing. Dante Moncrief was only in nine games

for the Colts last year. Okay, he at this point is expected to be okay and healthy, and being on the opposite side of t Y Hilton, that is going to take some targets away just by definition. Okay, you're gonna have some of the opportunities going to the other side of the field. I think that is a under under calculated reason why I am also a little bit

fading t Y Hilton. Listen at some point though, if he's still sitting there and like the third round of your draft or wherever you were in the second I understand taking him. But he is someone who I would be frustrated with I think all season long. If you can move him, if you can find someone who still is high on the Colts and Andrew Luck, go right ahead.

But what you may need to do is package him with someone else to go up and get like a truly elite wide receiver a Jordy Nelson or you know, a Odell Beckham and see if anyone bites on an offer like that. But yes, personally, I am down on t Y Hilton, not only because of Andrew Luck, but because of the natural regression in his receiving yards and the fact that Dante Moncrief will be back. He was only there for half the season last year. But thank

you for the call. Right here, as we keep it moving on the fantasy freestyle, we got a couple of news and notes I want to pass along. Okay. First off, the Cowboys Texans game that is this week, their fourth preseason game, has been canceled. Okay, that game was originally gonna be in Houston. At first, they decided to move it to Dallas in Jerry's World to play the game. Instead, they are now canceling it so that the Texans can be with their families due to Hurricane Harvey and I

completely support that decision. People are not you know, your real starters are not playing in that fourth game. Anyway. It could meet in some different things though, for roster cutdowns of those teams. Another thing that I think is important even for fantasy right now, and I don't talk defense and fantasy all that much, but the Browns today released former Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Hayden, but he wasn't

out of a job for long. The Pittsburgh Steelers later on that today signed Joe Hayden to a three year deal. I think this is a very interesting move for the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Pittsburgh Steelers can boost up that defense, they have one of the most dynamic offenses in all of football. I think that this Julian Edelman injury over there in New England could knock the Pats down. Jazz the touch. Is that enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers to contend in the a f C. I kind of think

it is. When we talk a little bit later on next week, when I give you my division winners and my Super Bowl and conference champion predictions and m v ps, you may hear the name of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also important to know a couple of wide receivers are back in Tennessee. Okay, um Eric Decker and Corey Davis. They were both backpracticing today. I think it's very important for both of them because remember they are both new to this team. They need to build a rapport and a

chemistry with Marcus Mariota. So I do think that's important to keep an eye on who's healthy in Tennessee. The last thing I'm gonna mention here Ezekiel Elliott's suspension. The hearing is going to continue on, It is going to drag on. It says they're going to definitely go this week, and both sides, it looks like they're digging in. It looks like this could be something that takes a long time, something that goes to the courts and that sort of thing.

And to be honest, you know, let's get the whole subject matter aside from a pure fantasy football standpoint. Okay, we're not talking about, um, the right and wrong of the domestic violence case and all that. I this is not the time or place for that. Okay, I'm talking purely fantasy football. If I'm a Cowboys fan, or if I'm gonna Zeke Elliott owner. I want him to drop the appeal and just serve the damn six games. And

here's why the problem is. If he doesn't and he's appealing and and and all, this is continuing on and lingering like a cloud, you never know when the decision is going to come. I would rather have the known quantity of knowing that Zeke Elliott is gonna miss weeks one through six, then the potential that a decision comes down, Oh, I don't know in week twelve or thirteen, and he misses three or four games, that would be a problem. You don't want that cloud hanging over you as a

fantasy football owner going into the fantasy football playoffs. I want to know when he's missing. And that's about it. For example, Levian Bell last year, we knew he was gonna miss X amount of games, right, and I was okay with that. I was like, I he'll still be there for me weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. What did he do in Week fourteen when you were in the first round of your fantasy playoffs? He put up like fifty points against the Buffalo Bills in Week fourteen last year.

That's what's gonna happen. The same thing can almost be said for Andrew Luck. I know the call caller before we're talking about t Y Hilton, But by the fantasy playoffs, you gotta figure that Andrew Luck will be on the colt at an in rhythm. So that's why it is a decent kind of like home run play to think about drafting Andrew Luck a little bit later on, right, But with Zeke you can't have the cloud hanging over.

I'm telling you right now, if you are a fantasy football owner of Ezekiel Elliott, him appealing this and prolonging the process is your enemy. If that is what happens, I might cut bait and run away from Ezekiel Elliott because what happens if you're all ready to have him and then boom it gets it comes down week eleven, Week twelve, week thirteen, that's the kind of risk I

don't like. I'm okay with taking on the risk of Ezekiel Elliott if I know I'm gonna have him as a belt out back after seven, that's okay with me. This other way, when it's a cloud hanging over and we don't know when it's gonna happen. That is something I do not like. So if you're a Zeke Elliot owner, you need to hope that he just you know, takes

his medicine and serves the suspension. Unfortunately, it looks like this is going to drag out for a while and the cloud will hover over Zeke Elliott for a while. I also told you I wanted to talk real quickly about Colin Kaepernick. Well, again, we're not gonna go into the um the protests and the stands on whether you agree or disagree. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know my position on that. But check out what Aaron Rodgers has to say. Aaron Rodgers says that he

belongs on an NFL roster. Aaron Rodgers says that the protests are the reason he's not and that it would be quote unquote ignorant to think otherwise. He says that he personally Aaron Rodgers that is is not gonna you know, he's gonna stand for the anthem, but he thinks that these demonstrations are quote is full and respectful. Check out what he says. I'm gonna stand because that's the way I feel about the flag. But I'm also one percent supportive of my teammates or any fellow players who are

choosing not to. They have a battle for racially quiet equality. That's what they're trying to get a conversation around. Okay, I don't understand what it's like to be in that situation. He says, what it's like to be pulled over or profiled, or any number of the things that are happening. Listen, Michael Bennett came out and said that it's gonna be different when white players start to demonstrate as well. We've

seen Chris Long and others with hands. We've seen the tight end on the brown set of All day Um also in a prayer circle. This is now a different level. This is the face of the league pretty much. Aaron Rodgers, one of the Golden Boys, coming out and saying this, keep an eye on this. However, when it comes down to brass tacks and football, there's some spots that I think Colin Kapnant could still wind up. We don't know about Joe Flacco in his back, and Ryan Mallett is

not the answer. We don't know about Blake Bortle service in Jacksonville, and the owner con has come out and said he would accept an open Colin Kaepernick. We shall see. And then also, what if Scott Tolzine can't do the job in week one? What if this Andrew luck News keeps on getting pushed back? We shall see. I'm gonna tell you something. Um, I'm in a long term dynasty league, and Colin Kaepernick would cost like a sixteenth or seventeenth round draft pick for the owner who has him. He

kept him even though he's not on a roster. Okay, this is like a two quarterback super flex kind of league. Watch it. I still think Cap could wind up on a roster. One thing I else I want to tell you about real quick. What you need to do is you need to go to Fantasy factor dot com. Okay, Www Dot Fantasy factor dot com. I told you about knockout pools. Have you fade the public? They are doing a free knockout pool. Someone is gonna win a thousand

dollars and it is a zero entry fee. All you gotta do is go to www Dot Fantasy factor dot com and you can get in free to a knockout pool. You can win a thousand dollar. You don't have to spend anything that's the kind of return on investment that I personally like. You could just tell them speeds. The spitting statisticians sent, all right, when we come back here, if there's any calls, any tweets, we're gonna take those.

We're gonna go into the tight end position. I'm gonna give you some diamonds in the rough, some guys that are outside the top ten tight ends who I think you're gonna return value and help you out. Fantasy Freestyle coming on, Rabett Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump, They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and dell o the app f A T

S y or Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven, the best Fantasy sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Oh you know what it is, Day last soul coming back as we dropped stats over beast on the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Thanks everybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune in Radio, and watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network YouTube stream. We got a couple of people that have used the call in number eight four four

eight four three six eight seven nine. Hey, Chris, it sounds like we got some callers on the line. It sounds like our first person is Josh in New Jersey. Correct, Let's put Josh on the Fantasy Freestyle. Okay. So I actually called a couple of days ago about trading UM, maybe trading Jordan Howard for some better receivers. Just to remind you, my receipers are UM Tyree Killed, Jameson Crowder, and Brenda Marshall, and then my other running back is

on agreement. So do you think it maybe be fair if I were to treat Jordan Howard and maybe Brandon Marshall for someone like Um, Martavis Bryan and Kareem Hunt or Stepan Davison cream Hunt. Interesting? Interesting, the Kareem Hunt play is is pretty a big part of that deal, right. There are a lot of people that even think Kareem Hunt can be better than Jordan Howard. So I don't know if you know what kind of balance is there, you know, but yes, is the answer to your question.

I think that's possible. I think getting Kareem Hunt could be an option, especially because I expect a little bit of regression for Jordan Howard as well. Right, is it fair to really expect that Jordan Howard is going to be second in the league in rushing again? Is he gonna really run for hundred yards again? I'm not sure that that's gonna happen. So I would be okay with something like that. Um, what were the wide receivers exactly? I don't know about Martavis Bryant though. Okay, listen, I

love Martavis Bryant. Martavis Bryant is a dangerous weapon, but I feel like he might be a better real life NFL player. I say this sometimes they're better real life NFL player than fantasy player. Okay, when um, the Steelers have only had Martavis Bryant and Antonio Brown and Levi on Bell on the field eleven times together ever, Okay, with Ben Roethlisberger as quarterback. So when you think about it, yes, that's slated to happen. And while that is so dynamic,

Martavis Bryant is in truth the third option there. He's not the second option. He's the third option. You gotta consider Levan Bell out of the backfield. So I'm a little bit you know, I think a lot of people are thinking about the potential of Martavis Bryant. I think he does more for the real life Pittsburgh offense than he does necessarily for fantasy owners. But thanks for the calling, Chris. It sounds like we got a couple of other calls that are lining up. Um, who's up next, Chris? Who

do we have up next? Okay? Jack? And Queen's what do we got? Jack? You're on the fantasy freestyle? Uh, what's up? Um? So on position six in a templayer standards format league, I was wondering, So if I get a Shady in the first round, let's say, sure, where do I go from there? All right? If this is a ten team league, okay? And if you get let's say you get Shady okay, and he's gonna be your locked and loaded kind of RB one. After that, I'm

looking wide receiver. Okay. So at that point in the draft, we're talking about at a ten team league, your pick six, we're talking about like fifteen overall, right, So I think at that point your reach, you gotta be real happy if you could get a guy like Jordy Nelson, right. I think that would be the dream scenario for you. Outside of that, the other wide receivers that are there, I think you could be happy with a guy like Michael Thomas on the way back, maybe even a Dez

Bryant on the way back. Okay, those are the kind of wide receivers you're gonna be staring at. I think the dream scenario is Jordy Nelson or Michael Thomas. Those would be the guys I would target in your situation. All right, there, Chris, it sounds like we got other callers in here. We got um Justin in Brooklyn. Can we get to Justin in Brooklyn? It sounds like he's on the turn of his drafts. What's going on, man,

what's your question? You're on Fantasy Freestyle. I'm going number twelve and standard League, and I don't know how I should go about a double receiver, double running back, or one or the other. Yeah, sure, Okay, here's what I say. Okay.

The way I've been, the way I've been playing and telling people on Fantasy Freestyle, right, is those true elite stud workhorse backs, you know, the uh, the Levy on Bells, the David Johnson's of the world, the shady McCoy is like the last caller, maybe a guy like a Freeman,

maybe a guy like a Gordon. Right, those guys are gonna be gone by the time you're picking, right, So given that, if I were you, men, I would go wide out, wide out and be happy with the guys that are left for me when I'm picking back in the at the tail end of the third round. I think wide receiver is an important position you can get at that point in the draft, at like twelve and

thirteen back to back. I think you can get two studs at wide receiver and have a weekly advantage no matter who you're playing um at your wide receiver position. You heard the previous caller maybe and he was in a ten team league with like you know what was the you know figure, like the fourteenth pick overall? Right, you are in a similar situation picking twelve and thirteen. Overall, I think your dream scenario has to be a guy

like a J Green or Jordy Nelson. False to you, but I would have no problem going wide out, wide out at the turn and getting two of these guys, whether it's a J. Green, Jordy Nelson, Michael Thomas, those kind of guys that I talked to you about. If not, you know, I think Michael Thomas will be there at pick thirteen. He's going right now, It's seventeen overall, you know, so I think that's viable. I would be real happy

with two of those those guys. Again, if I get two of A J. Green, Jordy Nelson, or even Michael Thomas, I'd be real happy with that. And thanks for the call on the Fantasy Freestyle. Hey, Chris, we got one more guy. We got Brandon and Queens. I think right he's got a question about some teams running back room. Brandon, if you're still there, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle alive, what's up? Yeah? Hey, what's up? Man? Yeah? So basically, I'm in a ten ten man standard league. I drafted

a little early, okay, the gamble. I mean, I doubled up on receiver Green and Nelson. There we go. Just like we said on the other call, you got lucky. Yeah, that's why it was funny that you said that. But um, I ended up doubling up on on running back later on, and I picked up Blunt and Peterson. But I was wondering your thoughts on on those teams back fields, the Eagles and the UH Saints. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. And

and here's the thing, man, thanks for the call. Okay, both of those teams are teams like the extreme of this situation is the New England. Page's right, where you never know week to week who it is that's gonna pop off, right. You don't know it's gonna be Gilliesley, Is it gonna be you know, James White, Dion Lucas. You never know, unfortunately for you men. I think the Eagles and the Saints are both back fields that are

kind of similar. Okay, in Philadelphia, you know, Lagarrett Blunt is gonna play between the tackles the goal line, kind of back. Lagarrett Blunt had eighteen touchdowns last year. I don't necessarily think he's in position to be able to repeat that again moving to a new team. It's just different. I don't think he's gonna do that. And to be honest, we've heard you said you drafted early. You probably know. In the last week or two, we've heard a lot of reports that um La Garrett Blunt is not in

good favor with the team. He maybe looks a little heavy There's been a lot of buzz about Wendel Smallwood. What I would do is, I would see if you can get a Wendel small Wood off the waiver wire, um, if Darren spoiled, and cover it up a little bit so that if the Eagles fade and go somewhere else in that you are thill covered or Lagarrett Blunt has

name value right in your league. Someone might look and be like, oh my god, La, Garrett Blunt had eighteen touchdowns last year, right, um, and you may be able to flip him. Similarly, in New Orleans. You know, Adrian, it's gonna be very hard to get a read on this New Orleans backfield. You have mark Ingram, who Sean Payton apparently hates for fantasy purposes. But you also have, in my opinion, a guy to really watch in New Orleans is Alvin Kamara. Kamara the rookie out of Tennessee.

He has flashed, he has shown some burst. I would not be surprised if by the second half of the season, Alvin Kamara's opportunity is going up and Adrian Peterson's is going down. As the sacrificial lamb to some of that listen, we don't know. Adrian Peterson in his career has never been a back that's operated out of the shotgun much. Drew Brees and the Saints operate out of the shotgun pretty much all the time. I think there's a lot

of uncertainty there. Both of your backs, La Garrett Blunt and Adrian Peterson have name value, so you may be able to flip them. I would keep an eye on this, but I heard it in the Tony of Voice with the question, man, I'm you know, those running back rooms could be full on committees, so you may need to look elsewhere. All right, my man the bounty hunter, Chris Bovona, Do we got more? We got more? We got more calls? Oh no, they all dropped. They didn't want to wait

for speed and spitting statistician. That is all right, but it doesn't matter. We're gonna keep it moving. What I told you we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about some tight end diamonds in the rough. So we're gonna get into that right now. And remember, if you're in a ten team league, if you're in a twelve team league, similar in a quarterback right, I told you look at quarterback twelve and thirteen, whether it's Stafford or Ben. Look at these guys that I'm about to give you that

are right down there. So even after everybody has picked the tight end, these are guys that are still available. The first guy I'm gonna give you is Eric Ebron on the Detroit Lions. Okay, one of the things I believe about tight ends philosophically is that tight end is the hardest position for young players. For rookies to learn. They have to learn the entire blocking scheme, and they have to learn all the route combinations, and that is

tough moving to an NFL offense. Eric Ebron, however, is entering year four and he has had an increase in targets and receptions and yards every single year. He's in that Detroit offense where my man Jim Bob Cooder will continue to throw the ball with a new hundred and thirty five million dollar man, Matthew Stafford. And here's the

other thing that team lost and Kuan Bolden. And Kuan Bolden is known throughout the league as like that third down receiver, that red zone receiver, that tough guy that'll get you when you really need. I expect tight end Eric Ebron to take some of that opportunity, and that's part of the reason I think Eric Ebron, he's going as tight end thirteen right now, a hundred and twenty third overall. That's like the eleventh round, the twelveth round in ten or twelve teen leagues. I think there's good

value there. I think Eric Ebron going as tight end thirteen, he'll be in the top ten of tight ends before the season is done. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, I got like a few other tight ends to go after that. I think our diamonds in the rough. We have also a poll question up. You guys have a lot of ideas as well. We'll check the poll. I got a couple more tight end diamonds in the rough, and we'll talk about a lot of other stuff right

here on the Fantasy Freestyle. J J. Watt continuing to raise money, will tip our cap to him. Yet again. It speeds the spitting statistician right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I Heart Radio, Tune In Radio, and on the live YouTube stream on the Fantasy Sports Network. Come on right back. We got tight end diamonds in the rough. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, Well,

It's a Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. Stop being a weirdo and streaming it online. Get it on your phone, take it with you every

where you go. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. We're dropping stats over beats right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm your host, Dane Martinez, speeds and spitting statistician and Chris. It looks like the phone lines have lipped back up, and if you want to holler, you still can. We're gonna take a couple more callers if we need to. At eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. It sounds like we got Juice

in Michigan on the line. I'll Chris if he's on, let's put him on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over beats. What's up, juice? Hey, it was good with it, man. I appreciate that, Man, I appreciate that. What's your question? It sounds like you lucked out. You pick the number one overall. Huh, yes, there, I'm going with David Johnson. You know it was a tough decision, but I went with David Johnson number one. Now on the uh, come around, I'm going Brandon Cooks and I'm going, um, either Todd

Gurley or Brandon Cooks, Todd Gurley or Mark Cooper. All right, so let me tell you what's going on here. Okay, First of all, listen with the number one overall pick, you go David Johnson. I also understand the Levy on Bell argument if you want to go there. Okay, I think either one of them are viable as the first

overall pick. Here's what I'm gonna tell you, though, Man, on the on the turn, though, when you come back and you pick in the last pick of the second round, the first pick of the third round, what I would actually do is I would not worry about girly there. I would go wide out, wide out. You are able to get your RB two later on in the draft.

In this situation, you have a true stud in David Johnson. Okay, if you only get one ride receiver in rounds two and three, by the next time it comes around and it's uh, you know, round four and five, you're gonna be not excited about the wide receivers that are there, and one of them is gonna have to be your wide receiver too. If I were you, okay, at the turn, we're talking picks twenty four and twenty five. If you're in a twelve team league, I think you go wide out,

wide out in that situation. You mentioned a Marii Cooper, you mentioned Brandon Cooks. Both of those guys are viable. Let me tell you who else is available potentially there right now going twenty sixth overall. Is Doug Baldwin. I think Doug Baldwin would be a great option and he could be a wide receiver one for you. Then another guy that I kind of like, who I think will be there for you if you want to take him in the third round and would be a great stud

as a wide receiver too. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, he was one of my wide receiver diamonds in the rough. I'm talking about d Andre Hopkins. I think he's gonna have a big boost this year. I think he's gonna be back to the forum. He was without brock Os Wilder as his quarterback. So whether it's you know, whether it's Cooks, whether it's bald When, whether it's Cooper, whether it's Hopkins, whoever is there, those are

guys to pick from. But in my opinion, if you've got David Johnson or Levyan Bell locked and loaded as your RB one, you're good there. I would go wide out, wide out. Thanks for the call, All right, what I wanna do? We got another call, Chris. We got Larry in New York. He's got a question about RBS. We could put him on as well. What's your question? Running back to focus in New York over here? What's your question? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on? What's going on? Larry?

How you doing? Man? Hey, you're doing good? Bro Um? Just quick two questions for you, Um, I guess one question is, uh, how do you feel about your quiz Rogers? I know he's started in the first three games with Doug Martin bright and also yeah and also um, how do you toil about Marshawn Lynch this year. Okay, um, First of all, and thanks for the call. Thanks for the call, Larry. The two things you mentioned, Marshawn Lynch

and my man pop quiz Jockquiz Rogers. Okay, first of all, with any of these questions, right, it's relative to expectations. There's a certain point in the draft where anybody is a value pretty much, right, So Marshawn Lynch, Listen, I do think Marshawn Lynch can be a high end RB two. I do not think Marshawn Lynch is an RB one this year. Okay, Listen, I don't know how many carries Marshawn Lynch is actually gonna get. The Raiders are a team they like to go by committee. Remember last year,

and they had Octavius Murray. They also had Washington, they also had Richard. Now, Marshawn Lynch is gonna be the goal line back, He's gonna be the down in dirty back. But how much are the Raiders really in that offense? They're in there kind of quick passing game a lot. I think Marshall Lynch will obviously be a strong player, he'll be an RB two, But um, I don't know where that is relative to your expect as. I do want to talk for a second about mom Man pop

Quiz Jocquiz Rogers. I think Jocquiz Rodgers may not relinquish the starting job in Tampa Bay. Okay, you you mentioned it. Doug Martin is gonna be out for three weeks. There have been conflicting reports on Doug Martin. Some people have said that he looks great in camp, the muscle hamster is back. Other people have said, listen, Jacquiz Rodgers might keep that job even after week you know, even after

week three when he comes back. Jacquiz Rodgers is going right now, one hundred and thirty second overall, he's going as RB forty one. You have the potential to get an RB a starting running back. Listen, there were times last year Jocquiz had like a three game run in there. They gave him the ball like thirty five times one game. They have no fear of giving Jocquiz Rodgers the ball. Jacquis Rogers as a guy who has done well with the opportunities. I love Jocquiz Rodgers, and there's a chance

there that he does not relinquish the starting job. I think that's a good idea. I would love to get me a little bit of shares of Jocquiz Rogers. All right, let's keep it moving. I gave you some tight ends. I gave you Eric Ebron as a tight end diamond in the rough. I got more that I want to give you. I got a couple more. The next one going is tight end. The leven right now is Hunter Henry for the Los Angeles Chargers, not the San Diego Superchargers,

the Los Angeles Chargers. I think Hunter Henry it's going to be the tight end for the charges. Listen. I know about Antonio Gates, okay, but Antonio Gates right now is more like a ceremonial figurehead. Okay, he is going to get a touchdown in week one and past Tony Gonzalez. I think, ultimately though, it's gonna be Hunter Henry, and Hunter Henry is gonna be the tight end on the field when the charges are moving twenty to twenty. I

think Philip Rivers built some chemistry with Hunter Henry. I think, Listen also Keenan Allen injury risk. Mike Williams already got the back. You know, there's no Danny Woodhead anymore. He got a lot of targets for the Charges over the last couple of years. Hunter Henry is a strong bet, in my opinion, to improve on his thirty six catches, four d seventy eight yards and eight touchdowns. I think he's gonna be a red zone option even with Antonio Gates.

I like Hunter Henry, Hey, Chris Hunter Henry is one of my tight end diamonds and the rough forever ever, for ever ever. That's the diamonds and the rough. Chris Bafona taking good care in two given it so hot, that swept right. The next tight end I want to give you is in the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm talking about zach Ertz. I think zach Ertz is primed for a huge jump this year. Zach Ertz is a guy that uh in years pass has gotten the lion's share of

his production. And like the last month of the season, right, zach Ertz is healthy. And here's the thing, okay, Al Shawan, Jeffrey injury risk, Tory Smith, you know, taking the top off the defense, but work in the middle of the field, which is still the best friend of a young quarterback. Carson went his building chemistry with him. I think he is going to be one of the leading pass catchers for the Philadelphia Eagles. I like the chemistry he has and al Shan is on the outside. Okay, the loss

of Jordan Matthews. Jordan Matthews was that slot guy, that over the middle guy. I think zach Ert is going to be the main beneficiary of that trade. I like zach ertz as a diamond in the rough. And if you've been listening to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know what else I like. I told you I like the Philadelphia Eagles. I like the Eagles big time in that NFC East. I told you I think their defense is strong, and

they got Ronald Darby to add. I think their offensive line is strong with Lane Johnson staying at right tackle not being suspended. They built weapons around Darren Sprowls. They got that running back room that have a lot of options. I went over to my bookie dot Ag and I put a bet on the over eight wind total on the Philadelphia Eagles. And I'm telling you, I think you need to as well. Go right on over to my bookie dot a g. Okay, they are the best in

the business. Let me tell you something, they pay you out very quick. Their reputation is rock solid, and they got great contest and great referral bonuses. For example, if you go in there right now and you enter the promo code Freestyle, They're gonna give you a match bonus right now. You can say it's on me all right, my bookie dot a G. I love it. I use it myself. I put some money on Floyd over at my bookie dot a G. I got a couple more tight ends. I want to get to you guys. Okay,

the next tight end going as tight End seventeen. Tight End seventeen Austin Hooper on the Atlanta Falcons. This is a kid that flashed a few times early in the season, was working out in the off season with Matt Bryan. They're building that chemistry. Do you really expect another career year for Taylor Gabriel or a breakout from Mohamed Sanu. I don't. And here's the other thing, Julio Jones, he's

an injury risk. What happens if there's no Julio? I think Austin Hooper could be a great late game late in your draft play. Um. I like him better than guys like Jack Doyle. I like him better than guys like Charles Clay. I like him better than c. J. Feder. It's okay. We got a couple of options right there at tight end. Those are some Listen, We've got so many options at tight end. I'm gonna have to wait and give you a couple of other deep sleepers, okay,

And I'm gonna do that tomorrow. I got two more tight ends tomorrow that I'm gonna give you. One of them won't even see the field until week three, but I believe he could be the leading pass catcher for his team. The other guy just had a trade happened that made him now the number one tight end on the depth chart on his team. And I gave you

this as a deep deep sleeper. This is a guy going number three hundred and sixty overall, not even being drafted in some leagues, and I think he's gonna wind up being a top twelve, top fifteen kind of tight end. We gotta pull question up right now, and it's who do you think will be the tight end diamond in the rough? I had Hunter Henry Eric Ebron in Austin Hooper, Like I said, as options right now, thirty six percent of you say Austin's hoopertent say Hunter Henry, twenty three

percent say Eric Ebron. And we have some other ideas as well. Derek Brown says zach Ertz. I agree with him. Hey, j Hannah says zach Ertz, I agree with you. Michael Baxter says ERTs, I agree with you. If you listen to Speed the spetting statistician, I just told you that. Another the Fantasy Judge says Hunter Henry will finish as a top four tight end. I told you about that. He also mentions Julius Thomas, Julius Thomas going back to Adam Gaze where he did his best work back in Denver.

That is it's interesting. I'm here in other names. I'll tell you who they are when we I'm back on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and we we also gonna check in with J. J. Watt, who has now raised an insane amount of money for victims of Hurricane Harvey. We'll talk about that when we come back.
