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 safe book on the microphone. You know that one of the best yet, Martinez, do you know what it is? It's your point, Dane Martinez a k A. Speed, a k A to Spitting Statistician a k a. The stable, genius and vocal minority of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

And you are listening and watching live to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle like my man Lands Davis and Strong Style are probably already telling you in the chat room, we are live. This is episode Danny's Got It. It's like episode three twenty six something like that. Jilly Dilley, if you know the number, hit us up three hundred and twenties six. We got a great show for you in an hour. The NFL season kicks off. Okay, so I'm gonna tell you my thoughts on the Philadelphia Eagles

and the Atlanta Falcons. The line has moved four points. Okay. The Philadelphia Eagles were three and a half point favorites. They are now a point home dog in the season opener as they raised their banner. I'll tell you what I think about that a little bit later on in the show. We're gonna give you my DFS lineups a little cash GPP lineups four Week one, because I'm trying to help you win your league's and win that cash. We're also gonna take your questions from the status over

beat Cipher Jap Dilly Dilly to everybody. Alright, but we gotta start with you know, my newsual news and notes. But let's just start with love Bell, al right, because I've been getting questions left and m f right about leve Bell today and yesterday and all this stuff. Alright, so let me just give you my thoughts real quick so that we can refer to them, and if you have questions, these are my thoughts on leve Bell. Here's

my disclaimer last year. And if you're probat of the status over beat Cipher Dilly Dilly, you know about this last year as it related to one. Ezekiel elliott I was of the opinion all season long that you wanted Zeke elliott I was telling people to trade for Ezekiel elliott I was telling people it'll be you want Zeke elliott I was wrong when it came to Zeke elliott last year, okay, and I acknowledged that. I admit that this year with lev Bell, everybody was like, Oh, he's

coming in on Labor Day, No he didn't. And I was like, oh, he's gonna report on Wednesday, No he didn't. And I think the biggest thing that's kind of like exacerbating all of this is now you got offensive lineman starting to talk smack. And it's interesting to me because you know, when it comes to the business side of football, right, a lot of players don't get another player's business. They're like, Yo, he's got to feed his family. YO, he's gotta make

his business decision. YO, He's gotta do what's right. For him, and people kind of give everybody a leash on that they're like, Yo, they gotta do what they gotta do. But now we're here and talking about like, Yo, we got a collective goal here, y'all, and at least now that's to beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Right, And then today you hear a lot of stuff from the offensive lineman about, oh, James Conner is a first round kind talent. We're ready to block for James Conner. This

is James Conner's time. I'm getting questions left and right about James Connor. James Conner. Listen first of all DFS this week. Yeah, play James Conner. Okay, I'm gonna give you my DFS lineups, uh with fan duel pricing a little bit later on in the show. Yeah, I'm playing James Conner because I do not think lev Bell is not playing week one. Okay, I don't care if he walks into the building and there's now reports that he's going to report on Saturday. We'll get into that in

a hot second. Al Right, So in DFS, you don't play left Bell, you ride with James Conner, who I believe it's like five thousand or fifty something like that. Unfanduel, we'll get to that. So, okay, that's the DFS scenario. If you are drafting like tonight, I guess, or you're forsaking the season opener and you're still drafting this weekend. Okay, I'm not gonna take left Bell in the top three anymore. I'm not gonna take him in the top four anymore. But for me, I am still drafting Levy On Bell

in the first round. I'm just then also reaching to cuff him with James Conner. Okay. So it's very clear DFS full gazy forgot about him for week one. If you are drafting in season long, I still draft lev Bell in the middle of the first round. I take Girly, I'll take Zeke, I'll take David Johnson. Okay. But when you start talking about the Melvin Gordon's and the se Kwan Barkley's and all that stuff, I might still take Leve Bell ahead of him. Okay. So that's, you know,

two contexts for you right off the bat. The most interesting context to me is if you have already drafted, and if you own Levy On Bell already, call me on my bell phone. Okay. Um. In that scenario, the question is do you try to flip him? Okay? You may be trying to be aggressive and initiate trades. You may be getting trade offers. I have been inundated on Twitter at spit and speed. You want to follow your boy, hit me up on Patreon as well. If you want

that inside Stat's Overbeats access. We know about that. If you want your questions guarantee to be answered within twenty four hours. UM, I don't know where the line is. Okay, I think listen. If someone wants to give you Leonard four Nett for leve Bell, sure I'll take him. Someone wants to give you Melvin Gordon for leve Bell, Sure I'll do that. Someone wants to give me Davante Freeman Dalvin Cook. I I'm with it, but how far down do you go? Okay? And I'm gonna tell you the truth.

I will not trade leve Bell right now unless I am getting and true tested real RB one because otherwise, guys, I gotta tell you this. It's the same exact situation that we talked about with rookie running backs, say like a mark or mark ingram a Sony Michelle A. Rashad Penny. You don't worry about your best team for week one. I don't care right now. You want the best team on Thanksgiving and beyond, when you're going to your fantasy

playoffs or you're making your push. And I believe lev Bell will be playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers at that point. The thing with Zeke last year is the cloud was hanging over him. You didn't know when the hammer was gonna drop, okay, and the risk was that the hammer would drop in your fantasy playoffs. And that's exactly what happened, okay, And that's why I was wrong. This situation is different, all right. People are like, oh my god, he might

hold out until October. He might hold up. He might. I personally don't think he's going to. But even in that scenario, he walks in, you know, Halloween, he walks in week eight, week nine. Because here's the catch, okay, for him to get the year of service time, he needs to play. I believe it's like six games he needs to play right so that he can get that service time so that he can be a free agent.

I'm telling you right now, Levyan Bell will not be a Pittsburgh Steeler after you know St. Patty's Day two thousand nineteen, when free agency starts. All right, So I hear a lot of people that are saying, oh, what left Bell in his twenty seven year old self, who has had knee surgery before. What he should do if he's making this business decision is too sit out. He's

already established his value. Sit out. Keep yourself healthy from March six, seventh, eighth whenever free agency starts next year in the in the NFL, right and have less tread on the tire. Don't risk the concussion that comes in week twelve, don't risk the torn meniscus or anything like that because you ain't playing for the steel Is next year? Thir do you want? Other teams want you healthy? And that is one point of view that is growing in

validity over time. I acknowledge that, like people are like, oh, Strap, maybe he's gonna sit it out. I don't think that's gonna happen. What I think is gonna happen. And there's new reports on this. There's reports now they're saying that he's going to come into the building on Saturday, and Saturday would be he has to report by I believe it's four o'clock, four pm on Saturday, to come on into the building so that he can be active for

week one, so he can collect his game check. Here's the thing, guys, if he holds out for eight weeks, he's losing something like three quarters of a million dollars to almost a million dollars every single week. You tell me he's gonna wait eight weeks and he's gonna lose out on six point eight million dollars. I don't know if that's the case. Some people have said, but Speeds, maybe he doesn't care because he's looking for seventeen million

down the road. I don't think that's what's happening. I think he's trying to you know, last year he proved that point coming on in. I think this year he's just trying to push it a little further. I think on some level that's backfired in his face when the offensive line started expressing their frustration. And here's the other reason. Here's the other reason everyone's talking about. Oh, James Connor.

James Connor, James Karner would be a first round talent if he didn't struggle with that lymphoma coming out of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh University, University of Pittsburgh. I like James Conner. I like James Connor has a great handcuff to beleve Belt anyway, because I thought that he was moving on and dynasty leads you need James Conner. But Pittsburgh Steelers have one

of the top three offensive lines in the NFL. In my opinion, it would really really hurt lev Bell's leverage if James Conner goes out on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns and runs for a hundred and thirty six yards and two touchdowns. Remember how D'Angelo Williams the first two weeks of the season, the year that leve Bell was suspended because of the marijuana the weed um. Remember how D'Angelo Williams was like one of the top backs in all of Fantasy h Now what happens if James Conner

comes in and kills it Week one? What happens to love Bell's leverage? If all of a sudden it's like, oh, we can put anybody behind this Pittsburgh offensive line. When you have Big Ben, when you have Antonio Brown and Juju, we can put anybody back there. Then lev Bell doesn't have the leverage hammer anymore. And I think this is

a very viable situation that plays out. So I don't think he risks that because if James Conner goes out and runs for one thirty and two tugs and the Pittsburgh Deelers are like, don't worry about it, don't worry abou on it, We don't care. You can play yourselfish game, so all good, We've got our running back. And that would eviscerate his leverage. So I don't think personally that is going to happen. And I'm telling you right now for week one, get James Conner in your lineups for

week one. You need to find another option. If three weeks ago you drafted lev Bell number one, two or three, hey, and that's what happens. I'm telling you right now. I believe love Bell comes in on Saturday, right on the deadline, so we can get his game check and still save the wear and tear of one game. And I think he'll be locked and loaded and ready for week two. That's what I believe right now. But I gotta tell you, when we didn't know about Zeke Elliot last year, I

was wrong. This year, I'm going back to the well saying everyone calmed the f down, all right, leve Bell will in fact come back. I don't think he wants to really stretch this out because he's the other thing. You're auditioning thirty one of the teams, right, you think thirty one of the teams want this guy who's gonna be like a diva and make the stand. You know that's gonna be some kind of problem. I don't know

that that's the way he wants to present himself. I think the kind of threshold of where he can go to kind of talk about this business decision is Saturday. That's what I think is going to happen. I think he's gonna come in on Saturday. I think you need James Conner for week one against Cleveland, But after that, I think lev Bell is going to be just fine. I think lev Bell is going to still be one of the top running backs in the league. That's why I'm telling you I still spend the first round pick

on Levy on Bell. DFS get Connor this week, get Connor, but week two at home in their home opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, I think leve Bell is starting. That's just the way I feel about it. So with that said, we gotta pull a question up right now on Twitter. I'm asking you guys, you know in this situation, because I laid out dfs, I laid out the draft. I think the interesting one is like, via trade, what do you do via trade? Will you take ninety cents

on the dollar? Eighty cents on the dollar? How low would you go? So what I did here? Because the cloud is uncertain around love Bell, the cloud is certain around a guy like mark Ingram. You know mark Ingram is missing the first four games. You know mark Ingram has a bye right after that. I believe in week six, you know it's a definitive chunk of time that he's missing. Would your trade Leve Bell for mark Ingram? And here's

what I think is interesting right now? Nine three percent of you say no, I'd keep Levy on Clayton Trey Hand says Bell will win you your league when he comes back. Can't say the same thing about Ingram. I agree. I'm telling you you're worrying about your team in November and December. You can make piece it together this week. Get yourself. James Conner, whoever your third running back, was who you had in the flex. The Dion Lewis is of the world. You know, whoever that is, put them

in you may take a little hit this week. I'm doing that in a couple of days. I was lucky enough to have James Conner in most of the places where I have left Bell. Alright, So that's what I'm doing alright. Um, So hopefully that answers a lot of questions, because I've been inundated with a lot of questions about lev Bell. Here's what I'm gonna say. Other things that are going on. J g I e full practice alright with that foot issue. I think he's going to go

in about an hour. I think he's gonna get eighteen twenty touches. Alright, start them with confidence. If that's where you are. DeVante Parker gonna be out for the first two weeks, alright. I love Kenny Stills this week, alright, I'm starting Kenny Stills over other wide receiver threes and ranks. I think Kenny Stills is the number one target. I think Miami is blunt, guts trash. I think game flow says that they're going to be losing and throwing the ball.

Give me Kenny Stills. The Jags list Keelan Cole and Dante Moncrief as co starters their number one'es sure. I like them both in d fest this week because their prices were so low before the Marquees Lee injury. But season long, I'm not invested in the Blake Borders Jacksonville Jaguars passing attack. Okay, DFS sure, season long, not so

hot on it. Ronald Jones is now the third string running back apparently in Tampa, behind not only Peyton Barbera, who's going to be a horse apparently this week, but also behind mom Man pop quiz Jock quiz Rogers hold Ronald Jones as well. Try not to cut him, Okay, same thing later in the season, he's going to ascend. You're gonna be piste off about that, all right? Um Sony Michelle limited in practice. I think he's gonna wean himself in. I love James White this week. I think

he's the back to own for this week. It's gonna be Rex Burkhead in the running game, but James White might catch six seven balls. Okay, So I like that one. And uh, you also got Doug Baldwin rashot penny. They're both practicing in full and a tough matchup against the Denver Broncos on the road. You put them both in, all right, he's gonna do. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, we already got some questions from the

stats over beat Cipher. We're gonna get to that. I'm gonna give you my DFS Week one Cash Game GPP kind of lineups, and we'll look a little bit about these Falcons and these Eagles which are about to kick off in about an Our football season is here.

Right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we got some people new to the show. That's what's up. Uh Dilley Dilley out there, Okay, Dilly dilly to Mark Perez,

my boy saraj out there hopping on the Patreon. Thank you out there, my man uh Lanz Davis telling everybody to smash that like button. You know, I only got twelve likes right now. What you don't like what I'm doing for you? Guys? Come on alright, and I got some questions going on that are coming out right now. So let me get to some of these questions. All right, let me get to some of these questions. UM, I own left Bell in the Standard League? Should I trade

him now for a wide receiver tour RB two? Nah? Nah, I'm holding him. I'm sorry, guys, I'm holding him. I know, everyone's like the sky like Chicken little the sky has fallen. This guy is fallen. I'm not. I'm not on that, all right. I'm like, make it through week one and then you're gonna be fine. Big timer over there saying agreeing with me. Report just came out that there are rumors he'll sign on Saturday so he can get his paycheck exactly. All right. That's how it's gonna go down

in my opinion. All Right, I'm checking out some of these other questions for you. We got Ryan Osborne dilly dilly to him, and he thoughts, I'm starting Wilkins this week. My other rbs are Miller and for Nette with Cooks in the flex. I like Wilkins, all right. I think he's gonna start for the Colts. But here's the thing. Marlon Mack practice today. Marlon Mack did, in fact practice today. There's Christine Michael still there as well. I do think

Jordan Wilkins is nice. I do think Jordan Wilkins. I told you on Tuesday I had him as one of my waiver wire ads. I like Wilkins and I like him long term. Okay, But if you have Lamar Miller and Leonard Fournette. I'm starting both of those guys over Jordan Wilkins, all right, I like Wilkins, but not over these other two guys. Then we have a question. I have Peyton Barber. This is Don Preston out there. I have Peyton Barber, Tread Cohen, and Kenny Stills. Who do

I drop for Edelman? Interesting question? I gotta know what the kind of format is here? All right, it's not Kenny Stills. I'm telling you that. I'm telling you him. High on Kenny Stills. I think he's the number one wide receiver. I think you need him on your at least on your team. Uh. For me, honestly, Don, it's about the format of the league, because if it's a standard league, then you don't really need to read Cohen in standard formats. I do not like Tread Cohen. Okay,

Tore Cohen is a PPR machine. Okay, So if it's a standard league, I'm dropping Tored Cohen in that scenario. If it's a PPR league, uh, Peyton Barber maybe my answer. Although if it's a PPR league, and it depends on who the rest of your wide receivers are, of course you want Edelman. Peyton Barber would be my answer in the PPR format, all right, earned his devil? What up cipher? You know, to the stats over beat cipher. That's how we do it. All Right, we're gonna take some more

questions a little bit later on. I want to first tell you how I feel about this, uh, this game that's happening right now. I like Atlanta to night. I don't know what to tell you, guys. I like Atlanta to night. Here's the deal. You know, First of all, Philly started the morning line like at the beginning of the week was Philly minus three and a half. Okay, then it went down to two and a half. Then I wake up today and it was like Atlanta minus one and a half. The line moved five points this week.

All right, I understand. I say. I always like the home team and the home opener. I like that they're raising the banner there. There's gonna be energy in the crowd, all that good stuff. It's the The point has been made, and it is true that these defending champions who opened the season at home on a Thursday, they do very very well. Their record is you know, I forget exactly, but it's very well, it's good. Here's the thing. At your back up quarterback and Nick Foles, who has not

looked good this preseason. You're without your number one wide receiver, Alshon Jeffrey. We also just got word that Mac Hollands is going to i R. Right, so we're talking Agalore, we're talking Wallace, and we're talking earths. Those are the receivers, right, and the gy e practicing in Fols. He's okay, but he's still kind of weaning back in right. I think

you can start them, but you're without your quarterback. You know, you're you're running backs not add percent, you're wide out ones not there, right, So I think this is not This is not the full bore of Philadelphia Eagles that we're gonna see later on in the season. And to be quite honest, a lot of positive reports about Maddie Ice, you know, Maddie Ice bouncing back, having prying for a bounce back second year of the Steve Sarkaesian system. I've

mentioned this a bunch of times. The other thing for me, the Philadelphia secondary's got a lot of youngsters in there, the kids Sydney Jones out of Washington. You know, they're still developing. I think Julio is gonna eat someone's lunch tonight. I think this is a big time Julio game in my opinion. Um, I think they're gonna take some shots with the kid, Calvin Ridley. I think Snoo is reliable over the middle. As you know, it's a new day, right so, and I think this Atlanta defense is a

little bit better then people give credit, all right. So I like Atlanta tonight. I bet Atlanta early in the week when I was getting three and a half points. Now I gotta give up a point. I like it less so, but uh, I like Atlanta to get the road win tonight and upset the season opener for the defending champions. We shall see. But I'll tell you what a lot of people agree with me, because it went from you know, Atlanta went from plus three and a half to minus one. I usually fade the public, but

I think that I agree with the narrative. I mean, it's got a backup quarterback, all right. So that's where it goes down. Let's get into now DFS before I answer some other questions. My man Danny Otto is down there in the fantasy pit of miser Dilly dilly to him. We'll be checking in with him in our new intern Brian a little bit later on in the show. But here's what I want to do. I'm gonna give you my DFS lineups, all right, because there's so many ways

to win your leagues and win that cash. So that's what I gotta do. First of all in DFS, I want to give you uh more of a cash game lineup. Okay, is cash game lineup that I'm going with? Um, this is fan duel prices. Okay, we're riding with fan duel this season. Um, So when I give you my DFS line ups, it's gonna be fan duel. Here's where I'm gonna start. I'm gonna start with the stack. I have been telling you guys. I've been telling the Cipher for weeks.

This Kansas City Chiefs past defense is something you want to attack. I've been saying it as it related to Patty Mahomes, that they're gonna have some kind of like air raid Canada Football Arena League football games with the Kansas City Chiefs. Their secondary is blunt guts trash Kanda City Chiefs. I don't care about Eric Barry at safety. Their corners. They had to like sign some people Orlando Scan drack Off who got cut. Okay, their secondary is going to be a problem. That being said, my DFS

quarterback in cash games this week is Philip Rivers. Give me Philip Rivers at seventy. Okay, Philip Rivers is going off right now as the all let's see four, five, six, seven, eight, eighth most expensive quarterback and he's facing a team that was thirty against the past last year. Um, they are at home. I love Philip Rivers this week. I think Philip Rivers. I've been saying it all off season. Philip Rivers is underrespected. In season long, You're getting Philip Rivers

and the eleventh round. Philip Rivers is like the tenth eleventh quarterback off the board, yet he finishes top five every year. He slings it all over the field. Yeah, he's gonna throw some picks, but the yards are gonna be there, the tuds are gonna be there. I love Philip Rivers this week. And I said, I'm going with a stack. So who am I stacking him with. I'm stacking him with his number one option, number one wide receiver, Keenan Allen. Right, So I got Keenan Allen at eight thousand.

I got Philip Rivers at seventy hundred. Let me give you my other wide receivers in a cash game lineup, I'm going with I'm gonna bless him. I'm gonna bless him with Jarvis Landry. These these prices were set, okay a long time ago. These prices were set when Josh Gordon was the most expensive wide receiver for the Browns. He ain't even gonna start this week. It's gonna be callaway and uh, Jarvis Landry. You saw, you know, I guess you saw on Hard Knocks. I bless him as contagious.

You know, you saw how much of a leader he is on this team. You also saw that Tyrod Taylor is focused on Jarvis Landry. Jarvis Landry is gonna get ten targets on Sunday. Alright, So I love Jarvis Landry and you can get him at sixties six hundred. Okay, to me, that is a value. You can get him at sixties six hundred. He is going for You know, he is at the same price as Cameron Meredith, who was banged up and we don't even know what his role is gonna be give me Jarvis Landry and my

third wide receiver. Here's where I go, bargain basement. All right, here's where I go. Bargain basement. And I go Jacksonville. Okay, I go Jacksonville, and I see that Keeling Cole. Is that only forty hundred? That is pretty much as low as you can get. Okay, and he's starting. If I can get a starting wide receiver Forred, I'm gonna do it. So I have him in my lineup. Keenan Allen, Jarvis Landry, Keeling Cole. Alright, those my whiteouts. Philip Rivers is my

quarterback because I do that, all right. And in my flex at five thousand the bottom, James Conner. All right, I think he's gonna be chalk. That's why I'm talking about a cash game lineup right now? All right, James Conner. So then my other running backs. I had money, alright, I have money from my running backs and my tight end, so I bang on him. Okay, I'm going with Ezekiel Elliott this week. I think Ezekiel Elliott I told you

was gonna lead the league in rushing. I don't know how this Dallas wide receiving Corps plays out Gallup, Beasley, Williams others. But I do know Ezekiel Elliott can be trusted to run the rock. Okay, I'm going with Ezekiel Elliott at eighty three hundred, and then in the same game, I'm going with Christian McCaffrey. No one, in my opinion

had a better preseason than Christian McCaffrey. I don't know if it's true that he's gonna get the ball twenty seven times a game or whatever the case may be, but I do think he'll be a focal point of the offense. And I got money to spend, and then I had money to spend that tight end as well, so I go all the way to the top of the board. I had enough money. Give me Rob Gronkowski. I like Gronk. Listen, Grank, you can take any week, right.

If you take Gronk any week, I'm not gonna be like, oh, that's a bad pick, but this week I'll take him. Why No, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkehead has that knee issue, Sony Michelle has the knee issue, right, So I think Brady is gonna be going straight up Hogan, Gronk and James White. I think Grant gets into the end zone this week against the Houston Texans um and then defensively, give me the Denver Broncos. All right, give me the Denver Broncos there at home. That pass rush against the

offensive line on Seattle, I think that's good. I like their secondary. You know, Baldwin is banged up. I think Seattle may struggle to do work offensively. So I like the Denver Broncos. All right. So that's a lineup for you. I think that you're gonna cash in cash games if you want to double up, triple up, quadruple up. Hey, that's where I'm going. Rivers McCaffrey and Zeke Keenan, Allen, Jarvis Landry killing Cole Rob Gronkowski. I'm flexing James Connor

and then the Denver Broncos defense. But I got another lineup for you if you want to have a little tournament action, a little g PP action. Okay, So you gotta go off the beaten path a little bit, right, So on this one, let me tell you where I don't go off the beaten path by running back because I had money. Are Alvin Kamara and David Johnson Alvin Kamara without mark Ingram, all right, I think he um. I think he has a very good game, all right.

And by the way, I gotta question here from Tyler Brown. He's asked me about Breeze or Stafford. I'm on Breeze on this one. He's home in the dome, and I believe that there is a narrative where without mark Ingram, Yeah, Kamara gets a little bit more. But I think that these other guys, the Gila's, Lee's, the other the Jonathan Williams that's are on the practice, those are just guys. I don't think it's gonna happen. I think what happens is they rely a little bit more on Drew Brees

in the first four weeks of the season. So that being said, Uh, to your question, Tyler Brown, I like Breeze over Stafford. Don't get me wrong. Those are great options. And weeks a week, every week you're gonna struggle with, like who do I pick? You know, but this week give me Breeze. But you know I am mad at you either way. I think those are good options. Let me give you my g p P. So Ivan Kamara,

David Johnson, right, Um Baltimore Ravens are my defense. I like the Baltimore Ravens as a survivor pick this week. I do not believe in Nate Peterman and the Bills going into Baltimore getting a win. Remember the last time that Peterman starting through five picks in the first half against the Chargers, Right, So I like the Ravens defense there. Um My wide receivers, Hogan. I like Chris Hogan at sixties hundred. You're telling me I can get Hogan at

sixty seven hundred. He's the number one wide receiver for Tom Brady. And like I said with that Edelman, I think he's going to get a ton of targets. You can get Hogan all the way down at sixties se hundred. You know, he's cheaper than Josh Gordon, who's not really playing this week. All right, Um so I I really like Hogan. I really like t Y Hilton as well. I think people listen that Cincinnati Indie game. I think that one might go over. I like a lot of offense in that game, So give me t Y Hilton.

People are forgetting about t Y Hilton. People are forgetting that Andrew Luck is now healthy. People are forgetting that the last time Andrew Luck was healthy, t Y Hilton led the league in receiving. You're forgetting that t Y Hilton has those pop off games and I think he could be primed to reannounce himself with Andrew Luck in Week one. All right, So Hogan, t Y Hilton, I'm telling you about Kenny Stills. You can get Kenny Stills at six thousand dollars. I'm putting him in my g

PP line up, a little off the beaten path. But here's where I go from my GPP play. Here's how I'm going a little bit off the beaten path. There are certain players who are big time injury risks all the time, right, Jordan Reed among them. But he's healthy Week one, and the same can be said for the tight end I'm playing and the quarterback i'm stacking him with. I am attacking the Indianapolis Colts pass defense that was twenty nine in the NFL last year. Did not do

much to address it. Yamily Cooker is back. But whatever I am riding, and I can't believe I'm saying this, I am riding with Andy Dalton as a DFS g P plea kind of quarterback. Okay, and I'm partnering. I'm stacking him with with Tyler Eifford. Tyler refe is health right now, When Tyler Reiford is healthy, he's the top five tight end in the National Football League. Tyler Reiford

at fourteen touchdowns the last season he played. Okay, I'm attacking the Indianapolis Colts defense and I can get Andy Dalton at six hundred dollars on fan duel beneath Dak Prescott, beneath Alex Smith. I'm attacking the Colts. I think the Bengals are gonna do work. They improve that offensive line. I like the Bengals plus two and a half. I believe it is so potentially do some work on the

road Week one against Indie. So tournament lineup, I gave you the cash line up, tournament lineup, Andy Dalton at quarterbacks, stacking him with Tyler Eifford. I don't think those ownership percentages are going to be that h okay, and that's what you gotta do. You gotta zig on other people's zag there on in your tournament plays. Kamara and Johnson arem I kind of like stable guys. Then my wide receivers. I'm going Hogan. I'm going t Y Hilton. I'm going

Kenny Stills. I told you about if for I told you about the Baltimore Ravens and my flex play. Everyone's gonna have James Conner and I do too in my cash lineups. Another guy who is definitively the lead running back for his team that you can get in the mid five thousands. For God's sake, because when these things came out, everyone thought that Ronald Jones was gonna run away and be the starter in Tampa Bay. No no, no, it's like I'm keim By Motumbo. No no, no, it's

Peyton Barber. And you can get Peyton Barber at fifty und Okay, Yeah, I know people like the Saints defense, but I think Peyton Barber is the boss there um and I like him. I like him as a flex play. So he is my flex play in guaranteed, you know, in tournaments and that sort of thing. So there's a couple of DFS lineups depending on if your fancy is the cash game or if it's in the tournaments. Right now, remember I got that pole question up. If you won't

left Bell, would you trade him for mark Ingram? Okay, and you would. I guess if you think that, oh Leve Bell is gonna sit out the season, like everyone's saying, if he's gonna miss eight games, right, But that's not what y'all is saying. Ninety three percent of you right now are still saying no. I would keep Levy on Bell, and I agree. I'm telling you do not fall into the sky. Is falling reactionary chicken, little nonsense, Okay, love Bell.

I believe it is gonna report um probably on Saturday so we can get his game check like it's like eight hundred and fifty tho dollars a game, Like you don't want that money? I do, all right, and you agree with me when we come back, more questions from the stats, over beat the cipher, and we break down the season finale of Hard Knocks look a little bit.

You need to get down with the status over beat Sypapa. Nobody loves their fan ends.

No old body loves their audience. The cipher like a boy speeds and spitting statistician, the stable genius and vocal minority. The people in the chat room will let you know, hit me up on Patreon like Saraje says, I hit you. I'm trying to be responsive, guys, but I prioritize the patreons. Okay, I got the unicorn at home being like speeds. Why are you spending an hour? And I have responding to Twitter questions. I can't do it anymore. Guys, I love y'all.

Hit me up on Patreon and I'll definitely respond to you. And uh, Matt Trifomo, I believe is out there as well. I want to give him a big shout out as well. Metrofomo had a question about tight ends and I mentioned Tyler Reiford. I have him as my dfs play in tournaments. All right, So that's the answer to your question. I think it was cook or effort as a backup tight end. Give me Tyler Iford because listen, he's healthy right now, and I actually think since he is gonna surprise some

people on offense. Let me get to some questions here from the stats over beat cipher, Dilly dilly to everybody to my man Danny Otto down there in the fantasy pit of misery. All right, this guy big timer to the show. So I want to answer his question half point PPR. He says, t y for Gordon and Lamar Miller. That's interesting And here's the thing, big time or if you're still listening. What's hard for me when you talk about running backs or at vers a wide receiver. And

I said this earlier in the week. I need to know the rest of your roster, okay, And this is a perfect example we talk about generally speaking. Sure, if it's Melvin Gordon and Lamar Miller, yeah, I would like to do that. However, if you already have t Y Hilton, what I don't know is who are your other running backs? And how much of a bump up is Melvin Gordon for you? And on the flip side, if you trade t Y Hilton, wait, what does that do to your

wide receiving corps? And that's the thing, right, it's the difference of t Y and the guy you would be starting in his place. That gap verse the gap of who you now would have starting at running back and Melvin Gordon Lamar Miller isn't a big part of this deal to me, okay. Um, So that's the biggest thing. So I can't answer unless I know the red of the roster. But on balance, shore give me Melvin Gordon. I like that. King b Money has a question out there.

I got offered mixing and Marvin Jones for Ingram and Lamar Miller. Now this is similar. You have Mixing and Marvin Jones for Ingram and Lamar Miller. You do that? I was like, let me think, but nah do that? King b I like that because quite honestly, I like Mixing better than Lamar Miller or Ingram, to be quite honest. And I like Marvin Jones and that Jim Bob Couder offense. I like that one. I would do it. King be money. We gotta j keys, oh eight Cook or Eifford as

backup tight end. I talked about that one already. I like Tyler Eiffort as long because it's a backup, right, it's a backup tight end. So you can take the risk on the health with a guy like Tyler Eifford. Okay, Cook, you can wind up getting a guy like Jared Cook as a backup whenever you need. And if he's a backup, you want to swing for the defences on that. So I like, I like um, I like uh effort there. Roy walk has a question. Cooper or Jones Jr. Give me a Mari Cooper, Um, give me a Mark Cooper.

I like Jones Jr. I think Jones Jr. Is a um a back end wide receiver to a high wide receiver. Three. I think Amari Cooper is a strong wide receiver too. In my opinion, Ryan Nelson, would you trade Josh Gordon and Mixing for Bell people in the Status over beats Cipher. No, I'm not high on Josh Gordon. I'm worried about Josh Gordon. Okay, Josh Gordon needs his mental health, he needs his brief respites. What happens if he needs a brief respite in week twelve.

I'm not on Josh Gordon Mixing. I like people know what the status over beats cipher. I do like Mixing. But I'm telling you right now, I'm of the I'm of the mindset. I am waiting, and I am holding lev Bell. You gotta piece it together this week, but left Bell is gonna be just fine. Guys, strong style,

my man Dilley Dilly to you, strong style. We still gotta get your info because you won that team name contest, all right, So we gotta get that info, get you that exclusive edge package, and get the King Scott angle to help set you a lineup one week. But let me help you out, Big Ben or Rivers this week. Yeah, I told you give me Rivers. Okay, I want Rivers this week. He is my DFS cash game quarterback. I

love Philip Rivers this week. That Kansas City pass defense is blunt, guts trash, all right, so that's its strong style. I'm going with Philip Rivers, Milton C. Crabtree, Hearns or Ross pick one in a twelve team standard. Uh, give me crab Tree. Of those, Ross is kind of like your deep thread. He's more of the boom or bus kind of play. Crab Tree is the number one wide

receiver in Baltimore. Okay, they're going up against Buffalo, who does have Tradavious White, So I understand maybe a concern about that matchup, but I still like crab Tree there with Herns. I got no idea how this Dallas wide receiver core is gonna break out. Could Hearns be the one? Maybe could Gallop? Maybe could Beasley? Maybe could Terrence Williams. Maybe too much of a low key herd. Right there? Give me a Tree, all right, Dan Milton Ce, we

got d blue to thirteen Woods or Gordon PPR. That's interesting, I mean Robert Woods, but it's close. I can understand you going either way. I personally lean towards Woods. Gordon is not starting this week. Okay, it's Jarvis Landry and Antonio Callaway. Okay, they're still getting Gordon up to speed Wolf Alpha. Uh. Jamal Williams or Corey Davis in PPR because it's PPR, it's close. I do like Jamal Williams,

though without Aaron Jones. I like that Green Bay Packers offense just more than the Corey Davis and the Tennessee Titans offense. I want to wait and see with Corey Davis just a bit. I was on Corey Davis like all last year and he never really popped for me. Um, Jamal Williams at least you know he is that starting running back. There is no Aaron Jones. I like the Green Bay Packers offense A wolf for me, it's Jamal Williams, right, Stephen seven seven nine seven eight Wow. I don't know

what that number is. UM is at your zip code? Maybe I don't know, But Steven's asking me about Duke Johnson or James White and PPR. I love James White and PPR. This week alright, James White I think is going to catch more balls. I actually think Duke Johnson is due for a little bit of regression. Duke Johnson was this kind of PPR beast over the last couple of years when there were no other options in Cleveland. Now there are a few more options. I think Duke

can take a little bit of a step back. And I think James White is the same kind of thing. What other options are there? There is no Julian Edelman, as I mentioned, you know, the these other running backs are getting banged up. So I like James White greater than sign Duke Johnson. Big shout out to my man. Kenneth Cashman and Rhodo were here. My bench better than your starters. If my bench had James Conner, it might be better than your starters this week. I um yeah.

So that's uh, that's where we got some questions right there. All right, So um, I'm gonna go back to some of these questions a little bit later on. What I gotta let you guys know also is checkout Fantasy Factor dot com. Alright. They're doing a million dollar survivor contest, all right, and it's for free. It's a free role million dollar free survivor contest, all right. Um, so I like that, right? I like that? Um, you gotta check

that out. Going over to Fantasy factor dot com, Fabiano Cordierio, I got offered mark Ingram and Leonard Fournette for Todd Gurley. Um should I take it? Mark Perez says no, I may disagree. I may disagree, you know. And here's the other question. Who is your other r B two? Right now?

That's the question, Fabiano, right, because if you have someone that's whack, you know, Todd Gurley and the whack running back loses out to Leonard four Net and mark Ingram in the Fantasy playoffs, right I, It's about how big you think the gap is from Mark, from Todd Gurley to Leonard Fournett. And these are both first round pick kind of guys on this, and Todd Gurley is like one too, and and and Leonard four Nette is like, you know, uh, let's say, but I don't know. I

don't know that. I don't know that it's that big. Mark Perez is saying like he's he's live with me. Hey, Mark, He's saying to me, Yeah, but health is a factor too, bro, Yeah it is, it is. But what's to say Todd Gurley is automatically gonna play sixteen games, right Like, I hear that people say, like, oh, they have an injury. Health is a factor, you know, that sort of thing. But right now, Leonard Fournette and Todd Gurley all at the same level of health. Todd Gurley has had injuries

as well in his past, you know. So that's that's what I'm saying. I hear you, Mark Perez that health is a factor, But you know, it's tough for me. I think it's I think it's uh type Fabbiano says, Joe Mixon is my RB two. Uh So, you don't have someone whack, you have Todd Gurley and Joe Mixon. That's a little bit of a different story. Um, I'm happy if I got Todd Gurley and Joe mixing, right. So in that case, I think you all right, I agree with the rest of the cipher. Um, I agree

with the rest of the cipher. You're gonna keep girly in that situation, okay, because Joe Mixon, in my opinion, is a high end rby two. Uh So I like those guys, all right, I like those guys. Perrying is asking me about Jordan Wilkins and asking me about is he in every week back? Is he gonna take the job? Um,

here's my thing. I like Jordan Wilkins, Okay. I think he's gonna be one of these rookie running backs who come from a little bit more off the radar and are productive for you in in re draft leagues love them even more in Dynasty and with Jordan Wilkins, like other rookie running backs Sony Michelle, Rashad Penny, Ronald Jones maybe others, I think their production, their opportunity they're snack will increase over time in the season. However, a big

time committee Indianapolis. I think it's gonna be a big time committee Indianapolis. I think Jordan will when Marlon Mack is back likely week two, Robert Turban comes back after suspension, you got Knohim Hind who some people who are high on in a PPR kind of role. You got Christian Michael as well. So for me, it's just like a tougher path to be that dude. But it could happen, all right, And I do think he'll ascend a little bit over time, But I don't know if he's gonna

be like that you know, true, stud. I think his ceiling for this year at least is as like kind of a flex kind of guy. Maybe a back end Rby too, if all things go well. But there's a lot of people there that are fighting for opportunities. Woe Jar is out there asking me about Big Ben or Andy Dalton. Mendel Bruce is saying Ben a lot. Um. I ain't mad at Ben. I like Ben, but Andy Dalton is my g p P, my tournament DFS play because I am attacking the Indianapolis Colts defense, their past defense.

I believe in the improved offensive line in Cincinnati, but I think he can go either way on that one. Sick cap. Uh, Christopher Davis, you're talking about this cap. I don't know if you're talking about this cap, but it's a sick cap. You know. We got these for you guys. Um, we can hit up some listeners, all right, if you want to. Um, we could do our game of Inches game and we can give the winners some

fantasy hats. I don't know if you're talking about this hat, um, but if you are, Uh, sick cap, Christopher Davis, we could we can hook you up. We can hook you up um, girly for hunting for net laugh out loud, what do you guys just board? Yeah, here's the other thing that I'm seeing a lot people are talking about, Um, all these trades and and and don't overmanage either. You

drafted these dudes for a reason. I understand if like Mark's lee went out and things change, or the deal in Indianapolis with Wilkins and Mac, the deal in Pittsburgh. But otherwise, guys, you drafted these people for a reason. Ride with them for a hot second. Okay, Dylan is talking about his draft starts in five minutes. His draft is gonna happen as um, you know it's going down. Josh is asking me about Mike Gasicki or Vernon Davis as a tight end too. I've told you guys a lot.

I do not like the rookie tight end. I do not like the rookie tight ends. It is very very rare that the rookie tight ends pop off. Okay, but with Vernon Davis, it's a play that Jordan Reed will get hurt. So I don't know. You know, yeah, that's happened a lot before, but will it happen again is the question that's what you gotta consider. I don't believe in Mike a SICKI early on this year though in re draft leagues, maybe in dynasty leagues, that sort of stuff.

All Right, Dylan Shaft is saying, who should I take with the first pick um, given all this leve Bell news. Uh, The answer, Dylan is Todd Gurley. The answers Todd Gurley. Alright, Dylan, and I literally thought leve Bell was he was my number one overall play. He's not gonna play week one. Sixteen weeks of Todd Gurley is better than fifteen at max weeks of leve Bell. Todd Gurley is the number one overall picked. There we got Tyler Brown asking about

Royce Freeman. We're Jarvis Landry and PPR in PPR, I love me some, I love me some Jarvis Landry, all right? Oh me, Paul Yo, Adam Scott at meat Ball, what up? Bro Yo? Here's the thing. And I love you guys, all right. The status of beat Cipher is coming strong now that football season is back. All right, So meat Ball and Callie, that's that's what's up. I'm a leve Bell owner. I traded Emmanuel Sanders and Trey Burton for Lamar Miller and Jordan's Reid. What way you think, man,

I'm sorry to tell you. I like Trey Burton and Manny Sanders. I think Manny Sanders is a bounce back candidate this year. I think Manny Sanders can prove to be a back end wide receiver too. And Trey Burton is not my sleeper tight end. I don't know how much of a sleeper he is anymore, but I'm all over Trey Burton. I like both of those guys. I like Manny Sanders, I like Trey Burton. I'm down on Lamar Miller and Jordan Read if he's healthy, that's all right.

I'm sorry meet Paul to tell you, but I don't know about that. L talks about David Johnson first, okay, I mean I'm not stupid mad at that. I personally would go girly. All right, David Johnson, you're slipping um, you know. So a lot of talk about that number one pick, Evan Lunac is out there, Speeds. What's your outlook on Josh Gordon, given that Todd Haley said they will play their best players earlier today, I'm down on Gordon. I've never been on Josh Gordon. Josh Gordon is a beast.

I know his skill set is there. I acknowledge that. I accept that, but um hm ah, he's not. I'm not a fan of his all right. And I'm gonna tell you this. You may not want to even take my advice on this because people in the stats of beat cipher no that I have been down on him for a long time. Last thing I want to tell you, guys, listen that Hard Knocks. That Hard Knocks finale was rough, right, seeing that the kid could juiced. I love this kid,

Devon couldjuiced. I've never seen someone like happier in life. All Right. His dad's have an open heart surgery. He's getting cut from the Browns, and he's loving it. He's happy, he's smiling, he's he's feeling his rocks and stuff. I love me some Devin con juice. I hope he latches on somewhere. And then, you know, what I thought was really interesting was the reaction of Michael Kendricks and the insider trading. He pled guilty today. I want to have

that note. And it was interesting. I told you about all the shuffling going around, and so they cut nasive, called nassive. He got picked up by the Tampa Bay Bucks, just like you know, a couple of days later. Right, all right, guys, that's what it is. My time is up in about a minute. What we're gonna do? Listen. I know you guys are just about to tune in. Do me a favor. Hit me up, follow me at

spitting speeds. If you want guaranteed responses to your questions within twenty four hours, hit me up, subscribe on Patreon. Listen to my man. Uh Sarah Sara Patel.
