the best yet Martinez, you know what it is. It should boy Dane 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 as always if you're listening live on I Heart Radio on tune In Radio, if you are watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network YouTube live stream, we gotta big show for you on a Thursday as we

kick off Week ten of the NFL season. I got my man, Chris bon Bona, the Manimal is on the keeping it so hot that we sweat steam later on in the show. He's gonna take good care of you as you hit up the phones at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. It is a big week. We're kicking it off with Thursday Night football Seahawks and Cardinals. You know who's not kicking it off though.

On week ten, Ezekiel Elliott, we have received word that, you know, the second circuit cord, the injunction, blah blah blah. Here's what you need to know. The suspension is back on and it sounds like he's actually gonna serve it this time, but not so fast. They have an expedited hearing now on December one, to maybe give him another stay or overturned. I don't know. I have gotten lost in this. I tell you what you need to do is just cut bait altogether from this situation. We'll talk

about a little bit more when we come back. I don't buy Darren McFadden, I don't buy Alfred Morris, and at this point I don't buy Ezekiel Elliott either. You have been dealing with this now for the better part of three months. You just need to move on. If you are a Zeke owner, if you're a Cowboys fan, or if you're a fan of the NFL. Here's what we're gonna do, though. I'm gonna be giving you there's

some interesting games in week ten. I already gave you my diamonds and full gazes for the Bills Saints game yesterday. I got a couple of other games I want to talk about. Well, obviously go into a little bit more on how I think you need to play the Ezekiel Elliott situation. And we're gonna talk my pre youth for Thursday Night football, Like I said, the Arizona Cardinals host

the Seattle Seahawks. And you know I always put a poll question up right, and on Thursdays, my poll question has been about like the winning par lay for Thursday Night football. However, unfortunately the voters have got it wrong four weeks in a row. Whatever it is. Then they got it wrong on the game pick and on the over under, and so a lot of people last time I checked, a lot of people are on the road favorite the Seattle Seahawks. You know how your boy speeds

feels about the home dogs. You know how your boy speeds feels about the home team on Thursday Night football. I know it's Drew Stanton, but you're telling me he's getting six and a half against the team that their quarterback has been the leading rusher for the last three or four weeks in a row. I don't know. I might take the six and a half points. I might take the under. I'll give you my pick for this

game at the very end of the show. But uh, if the voters trend is correct, you need to fade what they say, and they are going hard on the Seahawks tonight. When we come back here, we're gonna go news and notes from around the NFL. We'll talk about Thursday Night football. I'll give you my diamonds and gazes for weekend, and I will tell you proof positive of y v Ivy League College football they care about player safety.

It is kind of the best part of my day when I get to talk to the hashtags stats over beat cipher here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let me get you ready with the news and notes from around the NFL today. If you haven't heard, by now,

apparently the Zeke Elliott suspension is back on. He is now apparently sitting out this week through week fifteen, and that compromises him for the Fantasy playoffs. If you are a Zeke owner, listen. I've been saying all year that I don't think he misses time, right, but it looks this this mumbo jumbo. I can't keep track anymore. You know, last time we thought he was done, then all of

a sudden, forty eight hours later, he was back. Maybe he does come back, we don't know, Okay, but yeah, because it's now stretching into the Fantasy playoffs, you really do need to consider other contingency plans. However, I personally don't believe that plan is Darren McFadden. Personally, I don't believe that plan is Alfred Morris. We're hearing word that Alfred Morris will be the nominal starter for the Dallas Cowboys this week and through the suspension. This week they

take on the Atlanta Falcons. Fine, but Alfred Morris is not a you know, elite back, Okay. After they signed him as a free agent a couple of years ago. They can use the number four pick overall on Ezekiel Elliott. Okay, Alfred Morris is more of a three yards in a cloud of dust kind of back. And this offensive line is not what it has been in previous years. You've

heard me say that before on this show. I think they have, you know, maybe still a top ten offensive line, but not the top one or two like they have been. And so I think you need a back that is elite, that has the skill of Ezekiel Elliott. I do not think McFadden, Smith or Morris will be as dynamic in the past in the run game for Dallas, but you do in fact, needs to start thinking about other options. Also, remember I told you it wouldn't take along the Black Unicorn.

Martellis Bennett has signed with a familiar team, the New England Patriots. And listen, remember the Patriots loved having this duel tight end set with Rob Gronkowski. They thought they could replicate it this year with Duane Allen. That hasn't happened. So Martellis Bennett goes right back to a place where he is familiar, and I think he could be viable down the stretch. The Colts have released Vonte Davis after putting him. It looked like on I R they said

he hasn't played well this year. But here's the thing. You're one of the worst past defenses in the league. Vante Davis is a decent corner. What are they doing? There may be something behind this. I continue to think that the Colts are unraveling and there's distrust among their front office, their players, their fans. But what this means to me is fire up these pits Steelers tonight. You may hear me mention a Pittsburgh Steelers stack tomorrow when I give out my DFS lineups four week ten. You

got a bad past defense. You got Big Ben with so many weapons. No one there can cover Antonio Brown. Whether the Vonte Davis was there or not. Okay, but we're hearing word. It could be Martevis Brian, it could be Juju Schuster. You know there's lev Bell who can come out of the backfield. You know about Antonio Brown. Give me Ben Roethlisberger this week in DFS and in

fantasy like that. A lot moving on. Joe Flacco get ready for this quote unquote wants to open up the offense after the bye I kind of laugh when I see this. Okay, yeah, sure, maybe Jeremy Macklin, Yeah sure, maybe Mike Wallace. But I've told you for a long time already this team wants to win games by running the ball and riding on that defense. Joe Flacco is a check down king. Okay, he actually has five point three yards per attempt. That is the lowest in the NFL.

The Ravens also have the lowest amount of plays that have gone for twenty or more yards this season. So of course he wants to open it up. I just don't think it's actually gonna happen. All right, let's keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let me give you some of the practice reports, because remember I told you they start on Wednesday, So today you're really looking for how are they trending, Are they trending in the right direction, going from say limited to full, going from

d NP too limited, that sort of thing. That's what you're looking for at this point of the week. And unfortunately, what you're not looking for for is what you see out of Matt Forte. Matt Forte did not practice today because earlier in the week he had swelling in that surgically repaired knee. I think they're gonna actually rest Matt Forte this week and an interesting matchup against a bad defense in Tampa Bay, So you know what that means. And I haven't been able to say this guy and

recommend him since the beginning of the season. You know I love him. It's the Jets running back Boom Boom bilal pal Pal. I think balal pal is a very interesting play if there is no Matt Forte for the Jets, who's offense actually does move the ball against that Tampa Bay defense. Will keep an eye on Forte if he's able to practice even on a limited basis tomorrow. Also, Dez Bryant still did not practice. They say he only stretched. You really need to check this out because listen, Dallas

is gonna be without Ezekiel Elliott this week. If they're also without Dez Bryant this week. Remember Um Williams also tweaked a knee in their game last week. So who is there left? Is it? Cole Beasley, Jason Witton, Bryce Butler. Someone's gonna get production for the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, this week, if you could find out who you might have an interesting player in your hands in DFS. But Dez did not practice today. Zay Jones also did not practice for

the Buffalo Bills. Remember he's got that knee hyper extension in that Thursday night game. I'm fading Zay Jones anyway, he hasn't really done much. And remember they got Calvin Benjamin now and they also have Charles Clay. I do believe coming back. Charles Clay is in fact, quote unquote looking good, getting in limited practices this week for his return against the New Orleans Saints. Michael Thomas was limited. I'm fading Michael Thomas this week. I'm fading the Saints

pass game this week. They're going from inside the Dome the last couple of weeks up into Buffalo. There's news and reports that it might be you know a little bit of snow flurries for the first time up there in the north weast East. You take a team from out of the Dome into the cold in the north Northeast in a nonconference road matchup. I am not on the Saints this week. Also questionable limited today t Y Hilton and that is a new add to the injury report.

Remember I always say this, I never like it when someone was added to the injury report at this point of the week, that means they took me something in practice yesterday. Last week that happened with zach Ertz, and I had extreme caution for you. You even had callers like should I go with Arts or Austin Safarian Jenkins? And I said, you know what, you need to be conservative.

I don't like that. And it turned out zach Ertz didn't a Could the same be said for t Y Hilton this week as they take on the third ranked past defense in the NFL in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Davante Freeman, however, is practicing. Remember he had a little bit of a knee issue. He's back practicing in full looking good to go. The real question on Freeman is in Cannon's offensive coordinators Thieve Sarkisian. Figure it out. All right, let's keep it

moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I told you that what I wanted to do was I wanted to profile some games that I think are very interesting and giving my diamonds and fool gazes for those games. Let me start off in this matchup the Steelers and the Colts. The Colts are home dogs. They are giving a ten and a half point. It could be ten, ten and a half or eleven, depending on your shop. I go over to my bookie Dot a G where the line is right now ten and a half points for the Colts.

They're getting that at home. Let me tell you something I tell you off the by for the Steelers going in against this bad defense. Give me Ben Roethlisberger as a diamond in the rough in the consensus ranks this week. My guys Jake Celia and others um he's QP eight in the consensus rankings. I'm gonna tell you right now, this is the week, in my opinion, when Big Ben blows up. I'm talking three fifty and three touchdowns. Okay.

I believe they make a statement this week. The Pittsburgh Stealers. Okay, they are a team that right now is in position for a bye in the A f C D and I think they stamped themselves big time. I like Ben Roethlisberger as my diamond in the rough because I don't know if it's gonna be a big Antonio Brown game, Jujuice Smith, Schuster, Levy on Bell, even Martavis Bryant. They're trying to work in and boy, what a week to work them in and build up that confidence. I take.

Remember in this fantasy herd offense, I take the shepherd that is big Ben Roethlisberger. My fool gazzy is t Y Hilton. I just said it a late week, add to the injury report, coming off a huge game of two touchdowns on a hundred seventies some od yards. I always fade that and listen. The Steelers actually have a strong past defense. So in this game, I know he popped off last week, but this week, my fool gaze is t Y Hilton. He's a fool gaze forgot about him?

What means phone, That's that's right. I think t Y Hilton is my fool gazy. I think the Steelers are gonna put a point in this game on Sunday, but I still think ten or eleven points maybe too many, Okay. I can see this being something like a thirty four twenty four kind of game, thirty one twenty three. I think the back door will be open for the cults at home. They're a gritty team. Brissette is not as bad as you think. I think the Steelers score a

lot of points. I think there's a lot of production in this game, but ten points is still a little bit too much. There's my diamond in full gazes for the Colts and the Steelers. When we come back, Let's look at tonight. Forget about Sunday. Let's look at tonight. I'll give you my preview of Thursday night football Seahawks and Cardinals. And we also open up the phone lines right now if you want to get in and talk

to Speeds. Right now, we're opening up the phone lines eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine Carman. Now we're coming back on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwores are not due to slump. They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app F

and t s Y Radio. E's three and it's twenty four seven, the best Fantasy sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, I have to wait until the beat dropped right in here on the Fantasy for Free Thought, we dropping stats over beats. Ain't none of y'all better than locks. You know what it is? A little DJ Primo, little Jada kiss. We love it here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Alright, I told you coming back from break, I was gonna give you my Thursday night

football preview. Remember, the Cardinals and the Seahawks kick it off in about an hour as a Week ten of the NFL season begins. The Seahawks are six and a half point favorites on the road in Arizona. The total in this game is forty one. Let me tell you something. I believe that we are gonna see a low scord poring game tonight. I believe that I do not trust Drew Stanton and that offense. Remember they gave the ball

to Adrian Peterson thirty seven times last week. That was a career high for Adrian Peterson and he's had a long career. It means that the Cardinals will trying to mitigate the risk of having Drew Stanton there. They're turning and handing it off to Adrian Peterson. I think they want a time a possession game. I think they want to try to have you know, Stanton managed the game. Sure,

Larry Fitzgerald will get his targets. Okay, Fitzy last week with Stanton had five catches for seventy yards in PPR. That's twelve points. That's serviceable. I think you're gonna get the same thing, okay, because remember here's the other thing. You know, you got the legion of boom out there. But Larry Fitzgerald moves all around the formation. He is not gonna, you know, be with Richard Sherman on him.

They're gonna move Fitzgerald around. I think Fitzgerald still gets his I think this winds up being a lot of Adrian Peterson. He had thirty seven carries for a hundred and fifty nine yards last week had a hundred and sixty seven total yards. But you know what else, no touchdowns. I think it's a low scoring game. I don't see Arizona scoring many points. I think they score around fourteen to seventeen points. However, I don't see Seattle scoring many

points either. This run game is nonexistent. Russell Wilson has been the team's leading rusher for four weeks in a row, and that might very well continue again tonight. They're gonna have Thomas Rawls be quote unquote the guy Thomas Rawles season high and rards rushing for a week. It's thirty nine. He got that last week. I think I understand. Listen, you got maybe Kareem hunt on by Alex Collins, maybe on a bye Beast mode, maybe on a by J. G I E. Maybe on a bye I understand you

may need an RB two. I don't know if Thomas Rawls is the guy. I'm gonna tell you something. I have Thomas Rawls on my biggest season long home league team. I'm not starting him tonight, even in what could be a decent matchup, even when he is the guy. I don't think there's gonna be a lot of points scored today. Okay, here's what I'm also gonna tell you. My diamond in the rough for this game is Tyler lock It. I

like Tyler lock It. Tonight. The Arizona Cardinals are given up the fourth most points to the wide receiver position. And that's even with Patrick Peterson in that secondary. Okay, the Seahawks, I don't think we'll be able to run the ball. I do think, however, Peterson locks down Doug Baldwin a little bit. Paul Richardson is hurt. He's questionable battling a groin issue. To me, that leaves Tyler Lockett,

that leaves Jimmy Graham. I think those are the guys who eat when they're facing people not named Patrick Peterson in this uh, in this game. So my diamond in the rough is Tyler Lockett. I think he's a very good play I already mentioned it. My fool gazzey is Doug Baldwin. Listen, Doug Baldwin, here's some PFF grades for you. He's given up zero point three eight yards per coverage snap. Okay, when he is on coverage, you are not completing it.

To him, he is shutting people down, including elite wide receivers this year. I love Doug Baldwin. I know he's very multiple, can be in the slot, can be on the outside. I love Doug Baldwin. I think he, along with Golden Tater, the two most underappreciated wide receivers in the NFL. But tonight is not his night. Tonight. I think you need to forget about Doug Baldwin. He's my fantasy ful gaze. Hey, we don't have the fullL gazzy drop.

That's okay. I do like like I said, locket. I do think Peterson feeds the beast, but six and a half points is way too much for what I think will be a low scoring game. And I gotta tell you, I put up this pole question all the time for you guys. On Thursday Night football, a combined seventy two percent of you are taking the Seahawks on the road giving six and a half points. I'm taking the points

tonight the home Dogs. As a trend, you know, I follow the home team on third Thursday night football is another trend you know, I follow also in lower scoring games, which I expect this to be. Six and a half points is a lot. Could the Seahawks win the game, sure, but if they win, I see it like seventeen seventeen something like that. I'm taking the over and I'm taking the points. Clayton trey Hand, who always responds to our poles big shout out, says massive home dog, fade the

public and take the cards, agreeing with Speed. Not sure about the over under, but spread wilds take the Cardinals. Also want to give a big shout out to Alberto Rosalis at goose Burdo twenty three on Twitter. Funny response of the pole says who will have more yards the Cardinals quarterback or the Cardinals punter. I think that's, you know, summarizes what we're gonna see tonight. I think it's one

of the low scoring Thursday night football games. Give me the Cardinals plus six and a half and give me the under. But then again, you guys have been wrong the last four weeks voting on this pole se like Seattle minus six and a half. We'll see. We'll chop it up about that a little bit more on tomorrow's edition of the Fantasy Freestyle. We'll talk about Thursday Night Football.

I'll give you my DFS lineup. I think there's some good values in DFS this week, and we'll talk about some of the other home dogs, the big spreads, like we always do at this time. All right, let's get to the best part of my day when we open up the phone lines and here from the hashtag stats over beat cipher, we're doing big things on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got a lot of familiar names coming up on

the feed. The phone lines are lighting up, so you're gonna hear me saying Dilly, dilly a lot, I do believe. All right, let's start off with Aaron in Oklahoma where the wind comes crashing down the plane. Hey, Aaron, is Baker Mayfield the Heisman Trophy winner? And if they beat TCU this week? Do you think they can get into the playoff? What's going on? Aaron? How can I help you for week ten? Pretty good yourself? We're hanging in there. What do you think Baker Mayfield? Do you think you

could do it in the pros? Yeah? I think you. I don't. I don't know if running back from college to pro is different than quarterback from college to pro. We've seen that time out, you know what I mean? Tell you look at Brady. He went in what like the sixth round out of nowhere in Michigan, like like a Johnny Manzel that just has his head on his shoulders the right way. Yeah, he does have his head on He's a very mature for his age, but I think he has when the Heisman. Um, if if O

you beat TCU, yeah they make playoffs? All right? Fair enough? How can we help you for week ten? Aaron? Um? All right, I got a quick question, real quick. Do you on your Twitter feed? Do you got a yes bot? Do I have a yes bot? What is that? I don't know even know what that means. I don't know, I replied, though, you replied to my Twitter thing today.

And then I asked because the Forte came up that didn't practice today, And then a yes box came up and said yes to me because I was inna drop for taper pal since he was on No, I said, power free if I'm getting it, if I'm getting it right, I did say, I move over to Powell. But no, I do not have a yes bot. I do not. What's what's your Twitter hand? What's your Twitter hand? I'm gonna go back and check. It's variable change, all right, I'm gonna go back to your check. But but no,

I do not. I do not. I take the time, especially when people hit me up at hashtag stats over beats. Trust me, I'm putting in work responding to everybody. Man, I'm putting in time. But I appreciate it. I appreciate everybody out there, and uh, you know, hit me up on Twitter. Now, I know it's you, Aaron had invariable change. I'm gonna start to hit you up and take more time. I answer your call. What do you got? Yeah, So

when you've seen that lineup I'm stacked at receiver. Um because I've made my trade throughout the year, and um, since I have Antonio Brown and A D A Green bunches Landry and sew them all, I'm I'm thinking, I'm thinking, do can I I'm not getting rid of Antonio Brown? He's you know what I mean? But do you think I should trade a J this to Marca Murray? And is killing me? Um? So like, do you think I could try to go out and get RB one? You could definitely, you can definitely get an RB one. Here's

the thing I wouldn't do. Run Uh Um, I don't know. So here's the thing, and it's it's interesting. People ask me this all the time, like who should I target right in trade? It all comes down to your opponents in your league. It all comes down to what opponent. So here's what I do. I can't tell you a name. I can tell you a process, though. Okay, here's what I would do. I would look at the opponents in your league, and you got to find out what team is the good mix of one having a running back

in this situation that you like and needs a wide receiver. Okay, because you need a team that's gonna be receptive to your offers and have a good fit. I can't tell you just right now, like, oh, go target Carlos Hide. You know, maybe the guy who has Carlos Hide has no need for your A J. Green, You know what I mean. So you gotta target a team that has a receiver running back that you like in the wide out two, in the RB two range of Jordan Howard,

Christian McCaffrey if it's ppr Um Carlos Hide. But you gotta then target the team that also needs a wide out. And then here's what I do, Aaron, Okay, I don't start by dangling a J. Green. You have a bunch of wide receivers that work. I would start with like your wide out four, like Mohammed Sannw. Then when they reject it, then you step it up. Right Then if they rejected again, then you step it up. You gotta enter negotiations. You gotta find the right fit, and then

you also got to enter negotiations. Don't lead with a J Green though, because you know, uh, you might be able to give away less and still get it done. All right, here's what we're gonna do. My man up next is meat Ball meat Ball in California, friend of the show, Dilly Dilly Meatball. But here's the thing, may Ball. I'm up against the break, so do me a favor. Give me your question, and if I can answer answer it right now, I'll answer it after the break. What's up,

meat Ball. You're a true friend of the Meatball. I'm doing good. So one. I've got a trade offer that just came in. I got Tyrod Taylor of Philip Rivers, and he offered me the muscle hamster Doug Martin for Philip Rivers. Normally I would say that's a chewing, but the way Doug Martin is in plane, I'm not really sure. Yeah, here's the thing, meat Paul uh and thanks for the call. You're gonna have to hit me up on Twitter after

this because we're going to break Doug. Doug Martin has been regressing ever since, like his first couple of weeks. I will tell you this, though, I believe Philip Rivers is the disposable piece for you, because I love Tyrod Taylor. Moving forward, Meatball. I love Tyrod Taylor. Getting weapons back efficient, doesn't turn the ball over, gets production in the run game as well, So I like you thinking about trading

Philip Rivers for a running back. I just don't think Doug Martin is the right match because he's on the decline along with that entire Tampa Bay team.

I responded to him with a long thing about Forte and Powell and then he's right someone else The answer yes, Spot was just like yes, but that was not me, Aaron. I'm giving you what you need to win your leagues and win that cash. I'm hitting you up. I'm helping you out on Twitter.

I'm helping you out right now on the phone lines at four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Let's get into it now with Jill in California. I'm starting off this segment with you. Jill. You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you get a win for a week? Ten? Dane, Hey Dane, this is Bob Jill. How to go? I'm sorry. I know Jill doesn't have a deep voice, but I have a quick question. Fair enough, I got you, Bob, I

have Yeah. Anyway, I've got Paul Richardson and Dez Brian on the same team. Richardson was just activated, but he's probably gonna be limited. Des Brian claims he's going to play, but he hasn't practiced all week. And if I put Richardson in tonight and he and he plays limited, and then Des plays, I'm screwed. And if I don't, If I hold off and keep Des in and he ends up not playing, I'm screwed because I can't. Really, I don't have anyone else on my bench that I would

want to swap out at the last minute. So what are your thoughts on that? Uh So, thanks Bob for the call. Um. I agree with you. That is a little bit of a pickle. I personally believe that Dez is going to play, okay. I personally believe that, okay. So here's the way I would play it. I would have Dez in your lineup right now. I would not

start Paul Richardson. In fact, if you're saying you don't have other people that you're comfortable dropping for the backup plan in your back pocket to Dez, my question for you is, are you really gonna start Paul Richardson many weeks left this year? Anyway? If your team and you have wide receivers, like good wide receivers, maybe you drop Paul Richardson for a backup plan to Dez Bryant, Like, who is that is Paul Richardson? Really like your wide out three? If you have three or four other wide

receivers that are better than Paul Richardson. Maybe the answer is to drop Richardson, start Bryant, and drop Richardson for the backup plan to Dez Bryant. I don't know that Paul Richardson is a guy that I'm running out there a week to week. I know he popped off, but for me, he's a boom or bus play with Baldwin there, with Locket there, with Graham there. So I don't know that Richardson is someone that I need to hold onto. So if I were you, I personally believe Des is

gonna play, so I'd ride Des. And if you're looking for that kind of safety blanket, maybe Richardson is the person you drop, Bob. If you're still there, what are the other wide receivers on your team, because maybe you're you You're okay dropping Richardson. Yeah, in fact, I completely agree with you now that you say that I've got suns and feel and starting along with Brian and I

have Tyree hill On by those are all guys. H Richardson does not crack that top four on a weekly basis, And after Tyreek Hill comes back this week, you're pretty clear on the bide weeks, right, so Richardson is not starting for you, man, Okay, So I would drop Richardson

and get yourself. You know, I don't know that your backup, right, whether it's maybe a Cole Beasley in that same game, a Bryce Butler in that same game, and then if death starts, you ride him out and if not, you insert, um, you insert a guy like Beasley because as soon as you get Tyreek killback after the bye, you're not starting Paul Richardson anyway. So that's the way I would play it. Thanks for the call and tell Jill, I said hello as well. All right up next day on the Fantasy Freestyle,

we got Blake and Lincoln Blake. You're in Nebraska. I'm telling how it is out there, you corn husking these days. You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on, Blake? I'll got help you for week ten? Uh yeah, um, just got some running back question, um, trying to figure out who I want to start between Jeric McKinnon, Chris Thompson and Alvin Kamara. Is this ppr uh No, it's standard. The by bipocalypse is getting me, man. Yeah, I hear you, man, um,

because it is standard. Because it is standard, I say Chris Thompson is the guy without a chair when the music stops. Okay, um, because it is standard. Okay, I think Camara is still you know. I think Chris Thompson is the one who gets most of his production because of the catches. Like. Don't get me wrong, Kamara and McKinnon are also PPR kind of backs as well, but they are the ones who are still getting yards via the run game a little bit getting into the end zone.

They want to limit Chris Thompson into that PPR role. You also have the return of Rob Kelly, who if you know, he got in the end zone I think twice last week, you know what I mean. So if it was PPR, it'd be a much tougher decision for me. But because it is stand there there, give me Kamara and give me McKinnon, I think Thompson fades in that one. Go ahead. Also, UM, I had a question at wide receiver I bipocalypse once again. Man I got Robbie Anderson,

Calvin Benjamin. Um. Other than that, I don't really have anybody, but I could drop Thomas Rawls like a drop to pick up like a sterling shepherd I would do that. I like Shepherd Parker. Also listen, I like Shepherd, I like DeVante Parker, and I like SNeW. I would do that. I would drop Rawles for any of them. To be quite honest, Shepherd is the number one receiver. Yeah, I mean,

here's the thing. It's tough. Shepherd is the number one receiver on a team that's facing the San Francisco forty Niners, and I think he's gonna get a lot of opportunity. I really has a sneaky play. I love Mohammed It's a new Day because I think Julio Jones is gonna be a decoy this week. Julio Jones is banged up. I like Sanu, and I like that Dallas secondary that can be had. If you want the safe option, though,

go ahead and drop Rawls and get Sterling Shepherd. All right, um, I like, I think it's a new could pop. But if you want to play it safe, I like Sterling Shepherd. And yes, I think you could drop Thomas Rawls to do it, because McKinnon, Thompson and Camara all better than him. Go ahead, would I play the new over Robbie Andersoner, Calvin Vinder and then or Sterling Shepherd or either one. Um, if you had, I do believe that Shepherd and Sinu

could outproduce Robby Anderson's this week. Robby Anderson, he's on your team. You know, he scored a touchdown like three weeks in a row, right, But if he doesn't get that touchdown, if he doesn't get that touchdown, then you're you're s o l you know. And he's gonna be up against Grimes, which is the only one good cornerback that Tampa Bay has. Um. I think I think Sheppard and sinew are both like safer plays than Robby Anderson. I think Anderson is a little bit more touchdown dependent.

I think there's gonna be production elsewhere. So yeah, that's how I would play it. Thanks for the call, though, Blake, I appreciate it. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyles, Alex and West Palm Beach. Alex and West Palm Beach. What's up? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle? Are you doing today? Uh? So? I actually have question uh and he's on the pot and I'm currently stuck on three guys. Uh Gary for the forty Niners. He has a nice matchup. We has the giant, Um I have. I'll about Eric Ebron, but

his home and Rose splits kind of scared me. Uh, he's always really bad at home for some reason. And I also think about your main aggress room, uh tonight against the seattle, thinking that Drew standing in that Aggressham connection might actually be a thing. Um. But I would

like to know your talking. Yeah, and I appreciate that, man, And you know what you're at this level when you talk about sea like Ebron Aggresham, you know you're you're talking like dart throws anyway, right, you gotta admit that you Your boy is Zach. It hurts when I p and he's on by listen. I don't like something. I understand the giants are horrible against the tight end. Their blunt guts trash against the tight end. I understand that, But I just can't buy sell it because I'm down

on that entire offense. You really care about whether it's Jimmy g or whether it's c. J. B. Hard going to sell like I can't buy that Eric Ebron. He just hasn't done anything all year. The ag Gresham thing is interesting, and you know you you you spotted that as a little chemistry with Stanton. I'm gonna help augment that one for you. Earl Thomas. I don't think he's playing the Seattle Safeties are banged up, right, so I

think Gresham could be interesting. I don't think any of them are great options, but because it's just a dark throw, give me Germain, give me Jermaine Gresham. All right, thanks for the call up. Next we go, Dilly, Dilly, it's my boy Pete and Shalon. Pete was going on, how can we help you out for week ten? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle? All right, here we go. You know I've been staring Alfred Mars forever, okay, and now you think at the time only to trade him, do it? Yeah?

That's what I'm thinking. All right? So now would you make a deal on I'm looking at this Morris and Rashad Matthews, Poor Landry. Yes, and I would do it for just one of them, absolutely, yes, yes, yes, Bloo. Powell is over Alfred Morris to me, especially with Forte banged up and Jarvis Landry, especially in PPR, is a stunt a day. Absolutely do it? Yeah, go to for

to deal. Do the two to two? Now, what do you hear about Anderson as far as not practice because you know, I got um yeah, c J and seems a little bit banged Yeah, he is a little bit banged up. I think Devontae Booker is gonna ascend in the next couple of weeks anyway, okay, And I think Denver is gonna be down. I think it's the passing game. You know. I've been talking to you about this for weeks. I like DeVante Booker. I do that too, for to

trade blaha Powell and Jarvis Landry. Get them both on your team and you would have cashed in that Alfred more Frids trip. I like that, Pete, And come on back tomorrow and call me back next week. Let me know how it goes. We got time for only a couple more. Hey, friend of the show, Taco and Bama. How you doing, Taco, Dilley, Dilley, what's going on? Taco? We're up against the commercial break though, so I need

you to be quick a little bit. Tell me, tell me the question, and then I'll answer it, maybe on the other side of the break. What you got for me today, Taco? Alright, quickly, what do you played? Juju over? Uh? Devant Parker, And do you like the Saints running backs against the Falcons twice in the playoffs or Freeman against the Saints twice in the playoffs. I love the Saints. I love the Saints. I love the Saints running backs uh, so fresh and so clean. I think they are matchup proof.

I like both of them as it relates to Juju versus DeVante Parker this week, give me DeVante Parker and let me tell you why, Taco. You know, I love the good Juju, but they're talking this week about Martevis Bryant getting back involved in the offense, and I think they're doing it purposely to build up his confidence against the horrible past defense that is the Indianapolis Colts. I love Juju, but I think Martevis Briant is gonna get

involved this week. And if you got Brown Bell and Bryant, that pushes juju down to like the fourth or fifth option. I love juju generally, but for some reason, I think they're gonna try and feed Martavis Bryant this week. But yes, I love the Saints running back. Thanks for the call. As always, Taco, I see one more Eric in Florida. We're gonna get to you when we come back on the other side of the break, will drops stats over beats. It's your boys speeds, the spitting statistician right here on

the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's the Fantasy Freestyle. You know what it is, Fantasy Freestyle. The Zeke Elliott suspension is back on. He is now apparently sitting out this week through week fifteen, and that compromises him for the Fantasy playoffs. If you are a Zeke owner, because it's now stretching into the Fantasy playoffs, you really do need to consider other contingency plans. However, I personally don't believe

that plan is Darren McFadden. I don't believe that plan is Alfred Morris week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Don't push me because I'm close to the edge. Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network is Dame Martinez here dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. I'm like hitting people back on Twitter all commercial break long. But we got one more caller on the line. It is uh Eric

in Florida. Hey Eric, um, So I'm trying to help you out for a week ten how can we help you here? You're dropping stats over beats part of the cipher. What's going on right? Who's going on street? I've been doing tonight, chill and trying to make it happen. I got one quick question to heard you talking about Pyle Locke. Would you start him over Shepherd? Immanuel Son? Is my first question, and my fame question is no, cousin's been struggling, when you start Bottles this week or you still ride

with him? I would start lock it over Manny Sanders, but not over Sterling Shepherd. Uh, that's what I'll say first for your wide receivers. And what was the second question about Bortles. Let's say I know Cousin has been struggling. Would you consider starting Bortles or would you ride with Cousins? That's interesting? Um, I can't. I can't ride with Blake Bortles.

I can't ride with Blake Bortles. You know there are games sometimes where Leonard Fournett runs all the time and Blake Bortles stores the ball like ten or twelve times They've won that way with Blake Bortles getting like a hundred and fifty yards. So I can't do that It's not a great matchup for Cousins against the good defense and min Minnesota and a good secondary, but I still gotta ride out Kirk Cousins. They want to throw the ball, Jacksonville wants to run the ball. Washington wants to throw

the ball. I think as a volume play, Kirk Cousins is still the answer. All Right, thanks for the call, though, Erica hit me back so you can become a friend of the show. Dilly dilly like all the rest. All right, check this out, guys. I'm gonna give out my DFS lineup tomorrow, but you need to take that and you need to go to Fantasy factor dot com. Okay, they have single entry tournaments, smaller tournaments, flatter prize pools. If you're trying to like dip your toe in the DFS water,

www dot Fantasy Factor is the way to go. And always eyes. I'm telling you. Next week, I think we're gonna have this d k MS contest on the Fantasy Freestyle. So I need my stats over beat cipher to study up, learn ups, because when I'm asking the questions, I want some of you all to win. Okay, Today on Fantasy Frenzy, someone got up to level three of the questions. All right, So I got Corey Parsons and Jake saying that their audience is smarter than mine. I don't think that's the case.

When we have the contest, the d k MS contest coming soon to Fantasy Freestyle. I need you all to hit me up. I need you to study up, and I need you to represent stats over beats because I am talking about how great my audience is. All right, speaking of which, Speaking of which, part of my audience is on the YouTube stream. So let me get into Chris the analysts Ventra. What are the people saying on the stream today, Chris, everybody loving the Fantasy Freestyle? How

are we feeling today? Yeah, everybody's good. Everybody you know, hit that thumbs up button. Okay, if you're watching it right now on YouTube, hit that thumbs up button. If you're listening on a podcast, rate review like it. Come on? Help brought the out? Hi? What's up? Venture? All right? So we got a question from New Money half point PPR league. You gotta pick one James White, Dougie Fresh or Fit see Gerald's PPR half point. Yeah, I'm going

Larry Fitzgerald. I think like I said in my preview, Uh, Fitzgerald will still get his right, Doug Martin, I'm sitting him in my own league. I don't like what he's been doing. This Bucks team is a dumpster fire. To me, it's unraveling. I don't like it. And the Jets can stop the run. And your last guy with the James White, I actually think Dion Lewis is the one who's been taking over at that Pat's backfield. But here's the here's the thing. You can never tell. It is a four

person committee, and Belichick likes to mess with you. So just when you think it's James White, that's when you all go Rex birkehead or Mike Gilles LEI back right. So I think the stable safe choice, especially at half point PPR is Larry Fitzgerald. He will still get his production. Do we have time for I don't know if we got time for one more? Chris Tomorrow, you're gonna be giving me your DFS lineup though, right, I'll be all right.

We got a couple of interesting options, you know now with you know, injuries, maybe does Dez Bryan and Zeke Elliott. You know, we got a lot of opportunity for some value, But tomorrow, Adventure and Speeds, we're gonna be giving you our DFS lineups. I'm gonna tell you what home dogs I like for Week ten, and we'll we'll reflect on Thursday Night football. If you guys on the pole were absolutely correct, or if once again you went away from the home dogs like you should. All that and more

tomorrow right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I'll see y'all tomorrow, pooge
