Speaker 1

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 speed and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.

This your boy, Dame Martinez a k a. Speeds Ak 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. As always, anybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio, watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network YouTube live stream, we got a big show for you on a wednes Day. I got my man Chris Bovona, the Manimal downstairs and the Fantasy Dungeons. He's all the ones in tools keeping it

so hot that we sweat steam. And as always, we're gonna show you why the Fantasy Freestyle cipher is so strong. Later on, we opened up the phone lines at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. But we got a special thing that we are going to share by someone who was down with the Fantasy Freestyle cipher. I'm very much looking forward to that. And I gotta

tell you something. Guys. Remember how yesterday I told you about how like the temperature for World Series Game one was gonna be like a hundred and one degrees and how that didn't make me think fall classic. Well, I'm officially here to tell you that global warming or whatever the hell it is, I think it impacted Game one. That Justin Turner home run when it was tied one

one against Kaiko. That does not go over the wall if it's sixty seventy degrees, if they're in a cold weather city, that ball traveled over the wall because it was so hot. I told you about the weather out there in Chevez Ravine. We got a great pole question up. Also, I want to ask you guys on the poll at spit and Speed, you could always follow me hit me up whenever you want to. When you hit me up asking questions, if you use the hashtag stats overbeats, I'm

definitely gonna respond to you. Here's the poll question. Today we talked about the Martavis Bryant situation in the NBA. A guy like Eric Bledsoe is doing the same thing, leveraging social media to try and force their way out of a situation where they are unhappy. Do you think this is fair or foul? Do you think players should be able to kind of do this? My options are yes, no,

or Millennials? Am I right? Because honestly, this seems like a straight up millennial move to just not deal with what the cards are that you were dealt and try to actually work through something. But what do I know. Maybe I'm just sounding like get off my lawn to all the guys that are gals that are out there. Also, as you know, like I said, We're gonna do a

little special version honoring the Fantasy Freestyle cipher. We're also gonna talk about the winner of our hashtag Game of Inches, um thing that we do every week to see who had the worst beat out there. And also later on in the show, I'm gonna give you my practice reports, tell you what everyone's doing in practice around the NFL, and we're gonna start to spotlight the games of Week eight.

I'm gonna give you a preview of some of the key games that I think are taking place here in Week eight of the football season, we go back to London with the game. Also Brown's versus Vikings another incredible game they've given the folks out there in the United Kingdom to watch as they start to try to build a buzz for football. I don't know if Brown's Vikings is gonna get it done, but I'll still preview that game for you in this hour as we dropped Stats

over Beats. Is the Fantasy Freestyle. Like I said, we're gonna do practice reports, I'm gonna talk about some of these games, and we got a great thing people dropping stats over beats from the Fantasy Freestyle cipher. If you want to know what I'm talking about, come on back. We got a good show for you here. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go. Hey, I'm Melissa and I'm Joe and where the interns. The Fitnity Sports Radio Network and d k MS wants to

send you to Minnesota this February. All you have to do is play our Big Game Tribute Challenge sponsored by dk MS starting next week. Answer four questions right, and you're heading to the Big Game. Tune in to find out when the contest will be running. So what are you waiting for? Play the Big Game Tribute Challenge sponsored by d KMS Only Me on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got my man. Chris pavoted

the Manimal on the Ones and Tuesday yesterday. Apparently it was TUPAC Tuesday. It sounds like he's going with a Ladies Night theme here on Wednesday. We love all the ladies because you know, fancy football is not only for guys out there, so I appreciate anybody of the fairer gender that is listening or watching. Let me give you my news and notes from around the NFL today. First

of all, we have a trade. Remember I told you trades are few and far between, and I talked about how maybe one of these wide receivers might get traded to the Bears. Yesterday they checked the tape. I told you, maybe like a guy like Carell prior maybe a guy like Kenny Britt who knows what's going on with Martevis Brian. Although we have an update on that in a minute. But in fact, the Los Angeles Chargers have traded a

wide receiver to the Chicago Bears for a seventh round pick. Okay, and if you watch It's always sunny in Philadelphia, you know who I'm talking about. It is Don trelle the Inman who the fighter of the night Man. Don trelle Inman has been traded by the Chargers to the Bears for a seventh round pick. I guess this is a guy who's gonna get some opportunity. But remember, if you remember I said this last yesterday, I am looking at some of these teams with bad offenses, and the Bears

are one of them. They won a game with Mitch Trabinski throwing like seven passes all game when you were a quarterback. Is a rookie that's throwing less than ten passes? Why would you invest in a wide receiver in men was not able to really get on the field behind guys like Terrell Williams, Keenan Alan, Travis Benjamin and others with the charges. So I don't know. I like his size, I like his frame, but I don't think he's really going to affect change for the Chicago Bears. Also, I

told you about Martavis Bryant. A lot of updates out of Pittsburgh today. Listen, he was crying like a little baby all right, I'm talking about how he wants out going on Instagram and all this stuff. So checking this out today, all of these things happened today. One big Ben said, quote unquote, they have to get the ball to Martevis, okay. So Ben was started trying to like maybe boost up his confidence, trying to smooth it all over and be like, yo, we gotta work him in. Okay,

we gotta work him in. Then we get word that Martavis Bryant actually ran with the scout team in practice today. They're saying that that was something of like a punishment for him calling and sick. Remember he did that earlier in the week when Mike Tomlin was asked why, he just said social media. Okay. There obviously at their wits end, it sounds like Bryant wants to work a trade. I

don't think it's going to happen. And uh. Then they're also getting word right now that Martevis Briant is going to be a healthy scratch and gonna be inactive this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night as they play against the Detroit Lions. Interesting to note also in that wide receiver room, my guy Juju Smith Schuster. He's working that good juju. He is back practicing in full Remember he was in the concussion protocol and that brings

me again to that poll. Do you think that's what I want to know today this hour on the Fantasy Freestyle. Do you think like it's cool these days for players to be working social media to try and leverage their way in trade. I say it's ridiculous. No, Hello, hello to everybody here in studio thirty four people over here liking the decorations as we keep it moving alright. Minnesota Vikings wide receiver and my man Stephen, can you digs it? He made the flight to London. He's traveling with the

team to go to this London game. I think this is a very good sign. He also got in a limited practice, which is something that has not happened in the last couple of weeks. These are all positive signs for Stefon Digs playing in Week eight against the Cleveland Browns. I don't know if I would ride out with him.

Could he still be a decoy? I'm not sure, But if he plays, I guess you gotta put him in your lineup because you don't want uh him to absolutely go off with him on your bench, Allah Amari Cooper last week. Also, the Panthers have signed Roberto Aguayo to their practice squad. Remember I mentioned how a couple of kickers were trying out for the Panthers as Graham gonno insurance. I'm actually glad for the kid, you know. I hope

he gets a second chance in the NFL. Remember, expectations were so high after Tampa Bay traded up to get him in the draft and also in that London game. Also, the Cleveland Browns are going back to Deshaun Kaiser for Week eight. I am completely against this. I don't understand what Hugh Jackson is thinking. This is a guy they said that he learned a lot by his benching, He missed a game that he apparently learned a lot, then went back in as the starter last week and was

pulled for being ineffective last week. Now they're gonna go back to the kid. And why go back to the kid when you're facing the Minnesota Vikings, one of the better defenses in football. Then they have a bye after the London game. Why not just rest him aft until after the bye and then come out and be like we're gonna go back to the kid. We think he's learned a lot, then why go back to him right when they're playing the Minnesota Vikings. I think that is

a horrible move by head coach Hugh Jackson. But then again, the Browns continue to be a dumpster fire. We do have some practice reports here. Michael Thomas did not practice today. He's nursing a knee injury. This is something new and something to watch, especially because Willie Sneed is back practicing

for the Saints. I am very intrigued on what will happen in the Saints wide receiver group this week when you have Michael Thomas not practicing, Willie Sneed back practicing, and of course you know my man Ted Finn Jr. Who is also out there and available in about half of leagues. If Michael Thomas doesn't go, you need to snap him up right now. Also, remember week kicks off tomorrow with Thursday Night Football. Davante Parker is going to

be a game time decision. He did get into a limited work in practice, but he is going to be a true questionable game time decision. That game only twenty four hours away. We'll see what happens with him. On the Ravens side to check us out. Jeremy Macklin will be questioned, Ben Watson will be questionable, Mike Wallace will be questionable. All of this is just more reason to fade the Ravens offense. Also, we've got practice Paxson Lynch returning to practice for the Denver Broncos. Okay, might he

be an option if Trevor Simeon continues to falter? Excuse me, guys, all right, we're here on the fantasy freestyle what I wanted to do. Let's talk about the fantasy freestyle cipher that I love so much. Check this out. We got the effect on Twitter at Young Cause. All right, they are dropping stats over beats. Check out this rap they did about a Marie Cooper who put it in my eyes. The fantasy freestyle cipher is strong, Chris, can we play that? Because I need to cough and get a little bit

of my water. Let's play with these guys that the effect at Young Underscore Cause sent this to me. Check out their verse about a Marie Cooper hold the phone. We got young cousin mc lazy on another blazing hot track.

Y'all know me ain't no crab. Tree, but I've been low key throw on the route I'm cover, can't get open O free one catch my point three, But now I broke free putting up for d damn points ok se mad at me because I can finally afford to ride my fantasy and weakly kind of critical like a lake to a cobra shack like seek with the ball, are at dock, crustomer rounds, like the bridge when the car gets another back in dree you all think comes like the whole season for no reason there it cause

pretty much trough briefs. Who do you think taught us the crab tree? Who do you think grew through the A f C easily Broncos can get the d Melvin for the l a C. Gonna wish a scene never entered. The league gave you a taine full of dope play to scroll through when you've beat in you wood and when your team last week wasn't games are good? Who the doctor they told you to go see? Y'all better

put me on your team. All the drafts I said that I turned flop given cough drops because I'm already the reason your team doesn't need to spreakbub breeze, So trade me, drop me, y'all know it would be foolish. Y'all gonna keep trying to hate on me and turn me back to the old meet. Nowadays, everybody want to talk like you know, just he's a play, but nothing works out when they make the pigs just a bunch of swinging misses. All these howners act like they forgot

am more. Nowadays, everybody want to talk like they know just he to play, but nothing works out when they make the pigs just a bunch of swing and missus, and all these owners act like they forgot a more. So what LEAs say when it took your way? One of my different gets to like six week straight. But the guy that you're against plays him anyway, one of them, But no, you'd be skicked out and stop finding. Might

start to rise upon in shopping now. Might trade them hot and the price is right, But Buker told me any trade is good if you're getting back the best guy. I don't care if crab Che's healthy or not. It doesn't matter. Best small starting to rod Mar's back, and he goes done with the drops, and that does and he's finally getting hot. Started out with two broken legs trying to walk it off. Screw you do for all the drops, but now he's making up for throwing up

forties and popping up. And when Coup got through him and carstood next to a burnt down house with a volley of haass this handful of catships, the Chiefs just went out. So from here on out, he's a white out to starting today with some new and I'm still low going enough to beat you to death, Derek car Hard is my cube? Where's Brady Corner? Then I'm I'm with no babies and the division with competition. This sucks somewhere is and lug because he's still gravy Raiders gone crazy.

Sorry Chiefs, but you look lazy. Amari Cooper has just amazed me. I guess now he teach us, maybe you're Nowadays, everybody want to talk like they know just who to play, but nothing works out when they make their picks. Just a bunch of swinging mids. All these owners act like they forgot Amra. Nowadays, everybody want to talk like they know just who's to play, but nothing works out when they make their picks. Just a bunch of swinging meds and all these owners act like they forgot a Mara.

That's what it is. Big shout out to the effect at Young Underscore, cause on Twitter they had another track a couple of weeks ago where they were sampling my take on the New York Giants wide Receiver Room. I really like that. I gotta tell you, Bovona, I think this has to be our hashtag stat's overbeats and our hashtag Game of Inches winner for the week when we

can come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle. But Bone, I want to get your take, and I want to see who you think is the winner of our hashtag Game of Inches contest that we do every week. And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I got my previews for some Spotlight games in week eight as well, and I'm gonna finish this water so I'm not coughing. Alright, We're dropping

We're in the Halloween spirit. Will your lineups be tricks or treats going into week eight? That's what I'm here to help you out with. We're opening up the phone lines at eight four four eight four three six eight

seven nine. You got a chance to get a little bit of help from speeds and spitting statistician if you want. But first, Bivona, I gotta bring you in because our guys had the effect young cars and the crew. I thought that was really good. What do you think, Chris? I thought, listen, we've played like Levy on Bell here before, we've played Lonzo ball rapping before. I think this was really good. It was relevant football references, It fit the same cadence as Forgot about Dre. I really liked it.

You know, I know I have gotten. I don't gotten a lot of credit for all the music that I play on this show. The rest of our guys here. I gotta tell you something. This was This is probably one of the coolest things I had ever heard. Yeah, it was really good. It was really good. So I gotta tell you. Yesterday we talked about Carl Anderson at Candy Shop four oh seven, who he had his hashtag game of inches. He lost with that uh like shovel pass that they ruled a pass for Tom Brady and

he lost by just half a point. I gotta tell you, Bivona, I think we gotta put the effect at Young cause In as our winner this week. I know most of the time we talked about bad beats, but this, uh, I like this verse. I like this song they did Forgot amr A. I think we gotta make that our winner of the Fantasy Freestyle Cite for four weeks seven. I absolutely agree with it. I mean, there's no other way the fact that you could come up with a freestyle about about a bad beat, like I don't know

if it was a freestyle. Maybe you know, out a little bit of time into it. I don't think this was a freestyle. I still want to give him credit. It was, it was. It was a dope little song. Yeah, I think that. I think we have no choice. Alright, fair enough, we're gonna make this week's winner at Young

Underscore cause for their forgot about a Maori song. Remember last week we had a one eleven one eleven tie and the guy had Austin Safari and Jenkins whose fumble made a touchdown turn into a touch back and then lost his tiebreaker in his league with Jamis Winston and who got hurt. Remember, if you want to hit me up on Twitter, used the hashtag stats over beats, and then on Tuesday's when we do this to contest, it's hashtag game of inches. But out there the effect out there.

I know you hit me up on Twitter a lot. Let me get those verses. If you do them every week, we'll definitely have him on the show as we hashtag drop stats over beats. All right, the phone lines are in fact lighting up, so we got a lot of callers to get to right now at eight four four eight four three six eight seven, let's start today with Jermaine Germaine is in Phoenix. How you doing, Germaine? You're dropping stats over beats with the fantasy freestyle. What's going

on today? What's up? Oh? Man? I got a quick question. Man, I'm in the Standard League Devil Flex as you know, I'm just don't know to start if I started blow Pal or go with Garson this week. Man, you said it's Standard League, right, Yeah, that that's what makes it interesting because I actually think Pierre Garson. Listen, I like Pierre Garson this week. I I think that's a good matchup. Okay, I like Pierre Garson this week because the Philadelphia Eagles

are like lasted or almost lasting a league. They're like in the league against the past. I think the Eagles are gonna be up in that game as well against San Francisco, and so I think they're gonna have to throw a lot in the second half. You may get a ton of garbage time production from Pierre Garson. So give me Pierre Grossan even over my guy Boom boom bilal pal Pal because now with the return of met Forte,

that backfield has got a little bit crowded. Give me Pierre Garson and I'll take it all day this week, Jermaine, thanks for the call up. Next on the Fantasy Freestyle, We've got Tyler. Tyler is in Michigan. You are dropping stats over beats a Tyler. How can I help you out going into Week eight? Hey, I do it pretty good. Thanks for a question for you. Uh Standard team. I got Kenny Skills, uh Ted and Kenny Gay. I gotta

start to which one's not Kenny Galladay? Not Kenny Galladay. Okay, I understand Golden Tate might miss this game, but the Pittsburgh Steelers past defense is something like third in the league. I really liked them, um, I think this game they look elsewhere. I do not believe in Kenny Galladay. Now, don't get me wrong. He could be you know, he's a boom or bus kind of guy, and this could be a week where he once again gets in the end zone. But I am not rusting it. I sit

Kenny Golladay of those three. I think instead Detroit is gonna do more working in like Eric Ebron, theoretic, Marvin Jones and those dudes. I do not trust Kenny Golladay. I like Kenny Stills this week, though, especially because I don't think DeVante Parker is gonna play tomorrow. Thanks for the call, Tyler, You're welcome back any time. Up next, on the Fantasy Freestyle. Friend of the show, we've heard him before, it is Cliff up in Boston. Hey Cliff,

how can we help you? You're dropping status over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on? Man? Alright? So I kind of got bit a little bit with the injury bug. So I just made a trade. Want to hear your thoughts on? And then I got a quick flex question. So with Aaron Rodgers going down, I'm gonna be honest with me, and I do not trust Brett Hunley maall, So I have to make a move. I went ahead and traded Doug Martin and Jordy Nelson for

t Y Hilton and Duke Johnson. What are your thoughts on that you traded Doug Martin and t Y Hilton for who? No, I traded Doug Martin and Jordy Nelson Johnson for t Y and Duke And you said it's it's PPR standard. This is gonna be alright, Tim pr I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. It sounds like you're just hopping off the Green Bay Packers bandwagon, right, because you don't believe in Jordy Nelson. I would ask you though, like, do you really believe in the Indianapolis

Colts defense and TM offense and t Y Hilton? You know, it's kind of similar, um and in a but in a PPR format, I like Duke Johnson. That's what That's why I'm okay with this deal because in the PPR format, I like Duke Johnson a lot, maybe even over Doug Martin. But I think the white outs are kind of a wash. Okay, Because yeah, I think you're right. Jordy Nelson suffers with Brett Hunley, but t Y isn't doing. I mean, he's had a couple of big weeks and I like Joe

Jacoby Brissette a little bit better. So yeah, I'll take I like that side. I'll take the t Y and Duke Johnson's side, So I like that trade real quick. What was your other question? So that being said, now that I've got uh, Duke and t Y coming in, yeah, I've got a right at my flex um, What are your thoughts on alshon Jeffrey Kenny Stills or Duke Johnson. Sure. Here's the thing. If DeVante Parker doesn't play tomorrow, then I love Kenny Stills. Okay, If DeVante Parker doesn't play tomorrow,

then I love Kenny Stills. However, outside of that, I'd actually go Duke Johnson, especially because you're in this PPR format. I think Duke Johnson, as they are playing catch up out there in London in the second half, there's gonna be a lot of checkdowns from Kaiser. Remember, Duke Johnson was was viable when Kaiser was under center. Okay, so I like Duke Johnson a lot in that matchup. I think they're gonna be down, trying to come back and

throwing the ball a lot. But if DeVante Parker doesn't go tomorrow night, then Kenny Stills is a big part of that offense, and I like Kenny Stills. Thanks for the call, Cliff in Boston. Hopefully you keep on keeping on getting w out there. Let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle, We've got Simon down in Atlanta, down in the dirty, dirty A Simon, how can I help you out? We're looking ahead to week eight. You're dropping stats over beats was a good Simon. What's up, speeds?

I got two questions today. First of all, for UM, I need three out of these four guys, Brandon Cooks, Will Fuller, Book Allen and Emmanuel Sanders and standard is Manny Sanders back healthy? Ah, that's what I'm worried about. Yeah, look all on a book, Allen on a short week too, So yeah, that's a tough one here. That's a tough one, to be honest. I'm not high on a lot of these options, to be quite honest, because Will Fuller, he's at Seattle with that legion of boom as well, right,

they got that secondary on. I remember Will full of what he does is go over the top for big plays, and they got Earl Thomas back there Rollman in center field. So I don't like that match per se. I don't really like Will Fuller's match up. And Manny Sanders is just coming back. I'm I gotta tell you, man, I don't like many of these. I think Cooks you gotta have in. I think Buck Allen you gotta have in. And if Manny Sanders is healthy, I take him over

will Fuller. I don't think this is a week Fuller gets into the end Zone. I gotta tell you the truth, Simon. If Manny Sanders is back, I'd take him over Will Fuller. I respect the legion of Boom, especially Earl Thomas, to take away the big throw. And that's what Will Fuller does. He's that over the top, you know, big play guy. I think they could limit that, so I sit will Fuller. But thanks for the call. All right there, Simon. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go down to Texas.

We got will will dropped, all right, no problem, Bavona. Instead, we go to someone who has been on this show before, has sent in beats. We played, Hey Renee, it's Renee in Connecticut. Hey Renee, we've played some of your beats. I don't know if you heard, but keep on sending him in. We got you going on. What's your question for the Fantasy Freestyle? Hey man? I felt like a like a movie star because I told my friends and family everyone tuned in, so you had you had more listening.

You have more viewers than he probably normally did. It was just kind of cool, man. I appreciate I appreciate you guys doing it. I mean I was, I couldn't. It was so real just hearing it play. You know what I'm saying. So I appreciate that what we do Fantasy Freestyle cipher is strong. Okay. We got guys doing verses, we got guys doing beats. That's how we do. It's a great community here on the Fantasy Freestyle. How could I help you out a week eight renee? Um? Yeah,

man so um. I got Dean Lewis, and I've got um uh Dion Lewis and um and Paul Richardson. I'm wondering, are you Are you big on Paul Richardson right now? Or is he just like a boom more bust he got lucky, he got lucky on that like flee flicker you know bomb uh? No, I go Dion Lewis. I am not high on Paul, just saying he is not a stable week to week guy. He's one of those swinging for the fences guys. If you're in a position where you need to swing for the fences, then Richardson

is okay. But otherwise I go Dion Lewis. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand for better yet, in the pocket of your khatis We'll check it out. Now you can.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Chris Bafona given it to the ladies tonight be a little Lauren Hill. Now we got a little little Kim Him coming back as we dropped stats over beats as the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm gonna get to these

calls real quick. But first one of the guys asked me about Pierre Garson, and I told you I like Pierre Garzon this week because I think they're gonna be down against the Philadelphia Eagles. The other part of this is that listen, the Philadelphia Eagles are thirty against the past and number one in the league against the run. I think this means you fire up here, Garzon. But I am fading Carlos Hide this week. I think Carlos

Hide is a fantasy fool gazey. I think this also sets up well for a guy like Legarrett Blunt and guys like Whendel Smallwood. Okay, I think they're gonna be running the ball a lot in the second half of this game. Is they try to grind down against the San Francisco forty nine. Is this is a thirteen point line right now? The Eagles are thirteen point favorites. You know, on Fridays, I give you my home dogs and my double digit favorites, So tune in to get you know

my predictions for those games on Friday. Okay, but um, I think this looks like a mismatch. We'll see if the San Francisco forty niners can keep it close. But I'm telling you I like Pierre Garzon this week. As they go up against the number thirty ranked past defense in a game where I expect them to be down, You're gonna get a lot of garbage tiing points for Pierre Garzon in my opinion. All right, let's go now we're gonna go right back to the phones. We're starting

and opening up the phones. The number the call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We could get off back with Steve in Massachusetts. Stephen Massachusetts is a friend of the show. How can we help you out? Going forward towards week eight, You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. Hey, how are you doing? Oh? I ended up winning last week? Man, I'm so things are looking up. What you got a couple of questions? First, I was just wondering, uh with Marvin Jones because of

Golden Tate uh injury. I was just wondering, would you play him this week? Or would you play Josh Dowson because it seems like he might be the number one guy out there. I'm like, I'm not too sure. Yeah, I hear you, man, Um, I think Josh Dotson is emerging. If you listen to me on Monday, I said, go and pick him up. He was only fift and you could have done that Monday night football trick with him.

But here's the thing. If Golden Tate doesn't play, then yeah, I like Marvin Jones, okay, but if Golden Tate is in that lineup, and surprise, Golden Tate was actually practicing today, so he may try to grind it out and play on Sunday night. And if that is the case, then yeah, go ahead with Josh Dotson, Okay, But if Tate is out of the lineup, then I think Marvin Jones has to be the play. All right. Thanks for the call, Steve.

I'm glad that we're uh, you know, we're getting you a couple of wins, hopefully listening to Fantasy Freestyle and starting to turn your season around and help you out up next on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats overbeats. It is Dan and callie Dan, what's going on? How could I help you going into week eight? Hey? How's it going? Dane? Thank you for taking my phone anytime? Brother man? What's up? So?

I got a trade question? Basically I have the Jackmanville defense. Yeah, and I got someone offering me a couple of running well just one running back off their bench and kind of hurting at that at that point, folks that I got at my RB position is Freeman, pal Forte and Mac. And who are you getting offered for your Jacksonville defense? The ones that looked pretty good is Duke Johnson and Aaron Jones. Yeah, I think you gotta do that. Okay, I think you gotta do that for Aaron Jones. I

would do that for Aaron Jones. Okay, listen, I know, I know that Jacksonville defense has been study and and they're getting like ten sacks, which is awesome. You're probably winning weeks because of your Jacksonville defense. The question is

does that continue all season long? You know? I mean, I think the gap here's the way you gotta look at it, uh Dan, The gap between a back like Aaron Jones who's producing week in and week out to your like Jets backs that you have is bigger than the gap between you know, the Jacksonville defense and another defense that you can find on a week to week basis. Okay, So while you've you looked it into a great defense, I think part of the reason you have that is

maybe you could parlay it into a better chip. And a better chip for you is another running back that you can feel comfortable about starting week in and week out along with Davonte Freeman. So yeah, I pull the trigger and I do it for Aaron Jones ahead of uh. I think it was Duke Johnson was the other guy you mentioned. I would do it for Aaron Jones. Dan. Thanks for the call though. Let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Up next is John in North Carolina. Hey,

John and Carolina dropping stats over beats. How can we help you on the Fantasy Freestyle? Hey, what's up? Man? I got a two cool questions for you. That's all right? So first of all, I got Delanney Walker on by and I could have the opportunity to pick up either Austin Sefarian Jenkins or Hunter Henry for this week. I like the ros the far I Austin Rossta far Ey Jenkins. He's been getting consistent targets. Like his name is King

Hall Selassie. I okay, I'm going with Austin Austin Safarian Jenkins. Hunter Henry has been boom or bust if you check out his game logs. Hunter Henry has had two games I think already this year where he had zero catches. Okay, Austin Safarian Jenkins. The Rastafari is getting consistent targets. So that's where I go real quick, what's your second question? So the second question looking ahead of the curve, here just What are your general thoughts on Corey Davis. Yeah,

I love him. If you can get him, get him now, after he's out there and playing the fortuity, the window will close. I think Corey Davis is an incredible statsh. I know the Titans are nicknamed Exotic smash Mouth, but once he's back in there, there are people even on this network that have compared his skill set to one Terrell Owens. Okay, now I don't think he's Terrell Owens, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you take Corey Davis and stash him right now. And I

would recommend you do it. John Hopefully, Uh, Corey Davis and the Rastafari help you out and get a w called me back next week and let me know how it went all right? Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we got a lot of calls to get through. I'm gonna try and get to them all in this segment. We got Devon in Richmond. Hey, Devin, what's going on. I'm gonna help you out for week eight? Hey, it was going on a lot of show. Appreciate it, thank you, Hey, no problem? Hey, Um, I think Philly stands a shout

out to Winnsylvania. Um got a big question. Um so two quarterback League, first time doing it, got Philip Rivers, got Derek car Um. I'm in like second the last place. So I also got uh uh Hudley, and I got just picked up standing even though I didn't need him, because you know that's the way they work. I'm trying to due keeps trying to get their car and Philip Rivers and Wins. I'm like, I can't do it. Now, you can't do that? Yeah, yeah, I mean like no way. Like I mean, even if I get I'm trying to

push the car and either all right, that's Rivers end car. Right. If you want to give up Rivers and one of those other scrubs that you just picked up, I'm okay with that. But you can't give up both of your your top guys. Yeah, he wants a tight end. So I got at Dixon on the low, like I could give him dicks in his trash. At dicks in his trash, you need no part of that Dixon. And also, I don't know if you heard me yesterday, Greg Olsen is

returning to practice next week. So if that ever happens, and that's happening, he's eligible to come up to publist. I believe it's week twelve right by the Fantasy play else at Dixon is not an asset you want so see if you can dangle one of those quarterbacks in Dixon. Go ahead, I I I endorse that. Appreciate anytime, anytime. Who do we got up next? Bovona? I believe we got Don in New Jersey. I don't know is it

Don Burns because he's a Don in New Jersey? We got a different Don in New Jersey's got a trade question? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you out? Let's hear this trade? Do me a favorite? Done, tell me the people in the trade. Don't tell me which side is yours and which side is the other person in the league, And then I'll tell you which one I like? Bet which side I like better? All right, Don, what do we got? Okay? Sounds good? Man, it's actually done.

But I forgive you man, don't more. You guys do a great job on the show. Thank you. What is the name? I'm sorry, man? What's your name? Oh? John? Sorry? I got my man in the dungeon ge chatting me and says don but John, I apologize. How can we help you out? What's going on? Give me this trade? Okay? So the trade is gonna be for um, Alex Smith for David Johnson. Now, I gotta give you a little back before you give me a think the person trading Alex Smith has Tom Brady and h Jameis Winston on

the run, right right, right? No, I respect that. And so if you have three quarterbacks, you see Alex Smith as something that, uh, you know, can kind of be a piece. I gotta tell you this. I do not. I'm gonna just tell you right now. I do not think David Johnson is playing again this year. Okay. I do not think he is playing again this year. And here's I I think that even more with the injury to Carson Palmer, right because listen what the Cardinal. I

think the Cardinals fall out of contention. Okay, And so then why do you bring David Johnson back like in week fifteen for a team, you know, for a team that's like four and ten. So I don't think he's gonna return that value for you. It sounds to me like you would be the guy getting David Johnson. Um, I don't know if I'm right or not. But I wouldn't do it. I would try And if you're the guy dealing from a position to strength with these three

good quarterbacks, I'd look elsewhere. Is I right? John? Are you the one may getting DJ back? That's that well, that's correct. Yeah, And I'm trying to sell it to the guy who he has DJ and he he also had Aaron Rodgers, so he's looking for Yeah. No, I hear you, man, But I'm telling you, unless this is some kind of dynasty keeper league, I wouldn't do it. I do not believe David Johnson sees the field again

in any meaningful way. He might come back in week seventeen, but that doesn't help you a week sixteen, but unless you're in your championship, that doesn't help you. Would you really ride him out after that long layoff in your fantasy championship? I wouldn't, all right, So, uh, I would not make that move. I would leverage your position to strength at the quarterback position somewhere else. Okay, we got time for one more call, and it's our friend out

there in CALLI. It is meat Ball, and CALLI, hey, meat Ball. We're up against the commercial break though, real quick. So let me know what's the question, real quick man, You're on the Fantasy Freestyle again. All right, there's two of them, will make them real fast? First, one wide receiver, three rest of seasons snow or prior. Okay, just give me the other question. I'll answer them both after the break,

all right. And so the other question is I want to hear your thoughts on I've got a sixteam league. It's D D Westbrook. Okay, fair enough, Okay, So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a quick break. We gotta pay the bills. You know what it is here, We got bills to pay on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. When we come back, I'm gonna answer meat Ball's questions about it's a new day and d D. Westbrook. And then when I come back, we're also gonna go to

my Mandy analyst, Chris Venture. See what the people are saying on YouTube. I gottau may put the fun and Functional Sports Radio as well as Dave Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back as the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle. Stefan, can you digs it? He made the flight to London. He's traveling with the team to go to this London game. I think this is a very good sign. He also got in a limited practice, which is something that has not happened in the last

couple of weeks. These are all positive signs for Stefon Diggs playing in Week eight against the Cleveland Browns. I don't know if I would ride out with him. Could he still be a decoy? I'm not sure. Week Days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Sports Radio Network, Little Missy Elliot around that out Ladies Night here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. That's My and the Manimal Chris Bobona the

ones and twos given. It asked me a couple of questions before we went to break, So I gotta tell him. He's asking the rest of season? Do I like Terrell Prior Or Mohammed HiT's a new day and I'm going with Okay. Arrell Prior, I think just got hopped by Josh Dotson. I think Terrell Prior is in the doghouse. He's on that Kenny Britt doghouse right now. I would have no faith in Terrell Prior rest of the season.

I think Mohammed Sannu will return at least solid value as the number two wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons. Remember he had ten targets in his return to the Falcons against the New England Patriots, So I like new greater than sign Terrell prior rest of season. Meatball also asked about d D Westbrook. D D Westbrook, who is coming back in a couple of weeks for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here's the thing, though, Meatball, I don't believe in the

Jacksonville Jaguars passing game. Remember Blake Bortles has now won two games, you know, throwing like eight completions. So if that's all the production in the passing game you're gonna get, why invest in one of those wide receivers. There's also leon out there, markis Lee Alan hearns just too many options and that runs through Leonard for net So no, Meatball.

I think d D. The skill is there, and it might be interesting in a dynasty league, but I wouldn't start him for a team that passes for like a hundred fifty yards a game, so I'd stay away from that, Meatball. The last call we had was Jack in New Jersey. You couldn't get to you today, Jack, and I apologize, but it sounds like your question was about Buck Allen, and I'm gonna tell you, yeah, I think Buck Allen is viable this week Thursday Night Football tomorrow against the Dolphins.

And most of the reason why is because Jeremy Macklin may not go, Mike Wallace may not go. Benjamin Watson also questionable. Who else is there for this Ravens offense? And you know Joe Flacco doesn't have the confidence to throw the ball around. I think it's a lot of checkdowns and dump down to Buck Allen if he's good to go. So yeah, Jack out there in New Jersey, if you're still listening, I would in fact ride with Buck Allen if he's like your best option, uh this

week in Week eight. Also, I gotta get done here. If you don't already know that means you're not listening to the Fantasy Freestyle regularly. But if you do, you know that the Fest Sports Network we're partnering with d k m S and the Fight against blood cancer. Go on daily Rhodo dot com or Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k MS and you can learn a lot more about how you can help the fight against blood cancer.

You could register to be a blood donor, you could register to be a bone marrow donor, and you can even enter four free. We're running DFS contests out there. You can enter four free. If you win, you go to the finals in week seventeen, and if you win that you get tickets for two to the super Bowl. But even if you lose at the DFS contest, you win in what life by helping the against blood cancer. All right, we go to my man, the analyst, Chris Venture.

He monitors the YouTube stream of the show. And first of all, Chris, I gotta let you know, I gotta ask, is anybody commenting on the decorations in Studio thirty four? And then also I want to hear what's your best question from YouTube out there? Uh? Still, I haven't seen it, how commenting? I think the decorations are fire. But all right, we'll see if it happens Halloween. What's the biggest question? What's that question you got out there? All right? So

pick two running backs and a flex here. It's a standard league, all right. It's between Christian McCaffrey Joe Mix Mix on mix off Alvin Kamara, Alvin Simon and Theodore Kamara though, and Chris Thompson and DeShawn Jackson. I'm sorry, he's the only one I received, Deshan Jackson. But you get two running backs and a flex alright, so it's not gonna be It's not gonna be DeShawn Jackson. These is PPR. These are PPR, This PPR standard and standard. Okay.

I still I still am going with Chris Thompson because he's getting early down work. I'm still going with Alvin Simon and Theodore Kamara because I love all the chipmunks um and he's been just a stud lately. And I'm going with Christian McCaffrey. I'm leaving mixing out of it. I gotta see it from Joe Mixon. You know, I was fooled earlier on in the season weeks three and four, and I thought mixing was really gonna blow up. And I don't't know, maybe this is the week against the

Indianapolis Colts. But with these other options c mc kamara and Thompson, I would take them out and I'd make mix and show it to me first. All right, Thanks for the question, Chris, Thanks for everybody that called at eight four four four eight seven nine, I was gonna put the fun and Functional Sports Radio. I'm gonna talk about it tomorrow, but if you want to advance notice, go on and search who won the Venice Marathon this year and how all right, that's a quick plug for

tomorrow's episode. Come on back and see meus Dane Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio network Peace
