Big shout out as always if you're listening live on I Heart Radio on tune In Radio, if you're watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network live YouTube stream, we got a nice show for you on a Wednesday. I got my man Chris's keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. We're helping you win your

league and win net cash. A little bit later on, we will be hearing from you as we open up the phone lines as we usually do at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Before we do that, we're gonna go around the league as we usually do. You know, Wednesdays, you get the first injury reports for week eleven. As I always say, that serves

as a baseline. Some of these guys are just getting regular maintenance and rest days because I don't know if you've heard, but football is a violent game, so we'll dig into that. I also want to tell you I'm gonna be giving you some tips. You know a lot of people are telling me, yo, I'm seven and three, I'm eating two, I'm ready for the playoffs. I'm gonna tell you, if you're a team that's looking good for the playoffs, you need to start acting like a championship

contender right now. I'm gonna tell you a couple of tips to get ahead of the game for the playoffs, and you can start work on that right now. Heading into week eleven. We also got a pull question up that I think it's very interesting because, if nothing else, it shows the recency bias. I'm gonna ask you which first or second year quarterback would you like most to start your franchise with. Is it a guy like Dak Prescott from last year? Is it Deshaun Watson from this year?

What about one of the first or second picking last year's draft, Jared Goff or Carson wentz out of the four. One of them are running away with it on Twitter right now and I'm a little bit surprised of which one it is. You can check it out yourself at Spitting Speeds is where you can find me on Twitter. Hit me up if you do, use the hashtag stats over beats and I'll definitely get back to you. We have a late nominee Bivona for hashtag Game of Inches, but I don't know how I feel about it. I

kind of want to disqualify the entry, Bavona. I want to get your take on it. And we also have word on the a L and n L CY Young Awards.

So here at the Fantasy Freesty, we want to tip our cap to Corey Kluber in the American League eighteen and four to five e r A, he got twenty eight of the thirty first place votes and in the National League, Max Serzer wins the CY Young sixteen and SIXIX with the two five one e r A. If you were listening to the Fantasy Freestyle before the baseball season even started, you would know that I nailed the a L. I had the Astros winning the a L Pennant, I had Corey Kluber winning the a L C I Young,

and I had jose L Tove winning the a L m v P in the National League. Not so much. I had the Washington Nationals winning the Pennant not Serser, but Bryce Harper winning the m v P. Oh yeah, and Noah Syndergard winning the cy Young. I guess that didn't work out, But that's all right, because it is football season and I'm gonna help you win your leagues and win that cash. Come all right back, it's Wednesday, so we gotta look at practice reports and we'll be

doing that right when we come back. Hey, I'm Frank Stanfel, and here is Greg Sussman of the Fantasy Football Best Friends Forever. What can you tell me about the d k MS Big Game Challenge.

I know a lot of people who hit me up on Twitter all the time at spitting speed say they really enjoy what we do here at the Fantasy Sports Network because you know, we're really trying to help people. Were really building a great community. So let's dive on in to the Wednesday in front of week eleven of the football season because practice reports start to come out. So we got a lot of interesting news there. But first today was a big day at

the quarterback position in fantasy football. First of all, the Bills have decided to go with rookie quarterback Nate Peterman out of Pittsburgh. They are sitting Tyrod Taylor. They are sitting Team Mobile. I have been telling you guys for the better part of the last two weeks about how much I actually like Tyrod Taylor and his outlook for the rest of the season. Apparently the Pagoula family, apparently McDermott does not agree with me. They are going Nate

Peterman instead. I was high on Tyrod Taylor. They are going in another direction. Let me tell you something. It wasn't Tyrod Taylor who gave up six touchdowns to the New Orleans Saints last week. It wasn't Tyrod Taylor who gave up over two hundred and eighty yards on the ground to Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara last week. Okay, Tyrod Taylor is not the issue in my opinion on the Buffalo Bills. This is I think this is front office politics. When the new regime came in, they said

this at the beginning of the preseason. First of all, they did not resign or pick up Tyrod's fifth year option, resigning him. You knew right then that they weren't hot or long for Tyrod Taylor. There's rumblings in the preseason that, oh, Tyrod Taylor wasn't really a scheme fit for the Buffalo Bills. They were going to put in a system where you needed to kind of deliver from the pocket. Let me tell you all Tyrod Taylor has done has been careful with the ball, safe, with the ball done what has

been asked of him. Gives you rushing potential as well. He is one of the best fifteen quarterbacks on planet Earth, and he is going to be sitting it looks like for the near term at least, then maybe the rest of the season as the Buffalo Bills look to see if Peterman is the pocket passer that they want. And let me tell you something. He's got Kelvin Benjamin on the outside. He's got Shady McCoy, both who went to

Pittsburgh for college. By the way, you know, he's got a returning Charles Clay, so maybe he can do a little bit. The other thing I think this could be and this is really nasty because I said it about Jarvis Landry as well, at the beginning of the year.

These are guys who were about to hit the open market, and these franchises could be depreciating their value on the open market by not allowing Tyrod gain any more kind of productivity or counting stats for the rest of the year, and that I bet we'll take some money out of his pocket in the open market in the off season. They are not the only people that made announcements at quarterback. The Arizona Cardinals. It looks like they are going with

Blaine Gabbett. Drew Stanton is still banged up with that knee injury, he was not really fully going at practice, and they are making the decision to go with Blaine Gabbett. I actually think this is a lateral move and Blaine Gabbett actually, in my opinion, has more upside then Drew stand So I'm okay with this move, and I think it does not impact a guy like Larry Fitzgerald. I'm

not done. The Minnesota Vikings said, quote unquote, they were very tempted to start Teddy Bridgewater this week as the Vikings take on the Rams, but instead they said that after case Keenom's performance last week where he threw for over three hundred yards. They couldn't set him down. Remember I said this on the Fantasy Freestyle earlier in the week. Fear is a great motivator, you guy. I said it was all the way back to Alex Smith when they

drafted Patty Mahomes. I said it was probably in play with c J beat hard, with Jimmy Garoppolo waiting in the wings. I said that when Teddy Bridgewater was activated and dressed that the same thing happened here with case Keenum and it looked like he did, in fact save his job with a good performance last week. Let's see

if he can do it again. Remember Thursday Night football kicks off Week eleven tomorrow, and uh Marcus Maricoda and Delaney Walker have both been removed from the injury report for the Titans and Exotic smash Mouth in advantage of that game. I'm gonna be very interested to see tomorrow night if Marcus Mariota is back to his running ways as he comes back from that hamstring injury. It looks like he's been better and better each week. Let's see if he's a full go against a tough Pittsburgh Steelers

defense in Hines Field tomorrow night. More news Zekiel Elliott. Zeke has decided he is going to drop his appeal, so the story is over finally. I think it looks like Zeke Elliott is going to take his medicine and serve his six game suspension. Last thing I'll let you know here is that Aaron Rodgers took snaps and practice for the first time, you know since his injury. Took snaps on the side, uh, you know, simulated snaps from like a trainer, but the first time he saw the

practice field. He is still hoping for a return in week fifteen. Also this week not practicing right now. Chris Hogan with that shoulders still not practicing. Will Fuller with the rib injury that he sustained last week not expected to go, and head coach Bill O'Brien says that Ellington needs to see more targets. Keep an eye out on that Dez Bryant didn't practice, but I think he's just managing his reps. He did the same thing last week,

had a good game. I like his matchup Sunday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are like tops in the league against the run, not so much against the past without Zeke Elliott there, I think you could fire up des Briant. May hear his name in my DFS lineup on Friday Show. Tie Montgomery did not practice also because of ribs, and I hope he can go. I wouldn't hold my breath. I think this is Jamal Williams backfield, at least for next week. Jordan Reid also did not practice.

There's a shocker. I affectionately call him Mr Glass. Philip Rivers, however, did return to a limited practice. He's still in the concussion protocol, so keep an eye out on that. I do think ultimately he will go on Sunday for the Los Angeles Chargers as they host Nate Peterman and the Buffalo. Bill zach Ertz back practicing full. He's good to go. Brett Hunley was practicing in full with that Hammy, He's

good to go. Zay Jones returned to practice. I would wait and see on this Bill's offense anyway, outside of Shady McCoy, So you know, I don't think that really rates right now. In Ternce is back, and I think this is interesting because we're talking a lot of people talking about Danny Woodhead and you can impact that might have on Buck Allen, But if Terrence West is back in the picture, might that impact Alex Collins. If you have a four person in committee, it's really gonna tamper

the productivity for everybody. All Right, I told you that. Uh, I want you guys to start acting like a fantasy football championship or playoff contender. And you could do that now. Okay, I actually wrote an article for sports Grade. It's gonna be it's coming out now, go on and check the link over at sports Grade. I'll put it up on my Twitter timeline. But if you're seven and three, if you're eight and two, if you're nine and one, if you're tennant, no, first of all, if you're tennant, no

send me a screenshot of it. So I could you know, toast you and whatnot. Will definitely give you a shout out on the show. But if you're you know, if you have between seven and nine wins right now, you're a playoff team. Okay, there's probably only like three weeks left in your regular season. If you have seven or eight or nine wins, you're probably a playoff team. You need to start getting yourself ready for the playoffs, right now and here are the three things that I'm gonna

tell you about. The first is, now that the bye weeks are done, you know you were doing great doing like picking up a guy like Alex Collins, picking up a guy like Paul Richardson. You have a good you know RB four, You have a good wide receiver five. Your second tight end was okay. Guess what? Now is the time you need to cut bait onto those people without the buys anymore. What you need to do is start to figure out what is the best most elite possible lineup you can run out in week fourteen and

fifteen and sixteen. But week fourteen and that means you don't carry your second tight end anymore. That means you don't carry a sixth wide receiver anymore. You know what that means, You start carrying. You start carrying handcuffs. We said this in the poll question yesterday as it related to free agent pickups, and someone Clayton Trey Hand I believe, who always response to the polls, was saying, people like Eckler, people like Brita. Well, here's a thing you need, handcuffs

at this point in the season. You need to start going out and getting them. If you have Levan Bell, you need James Connor. If you have you know, Carlos Hyde, you need Matt breed Up. If you have Melvin Gordon, you need Austin Ekeler. At this point, no one else in the league needs those people. You do, remember I've been saying all season long about how having a bell Cow running back there's so few and far between. Well, it's not only the player, it's the way the team operates.

So if God forbid, you know, one of these bell Cow studs go down for you, you need their handcuff because they are gonna be next man up instead of these r BBCs, these committees where you don't know, okay, you need to start going out and getting the handcuffs for your stud running backs. That is point number one.

When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna tell you two other things that you need to do to get ahead of the curve to be ready to go for the playoff run if you are primed and ready to go, if you're eight, and to let me know, so we're gonna do that. I got a late hashtag game of inches nominee as well. I'm gonna get Bovona's word on that. And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna open up the phones and hear from you eight four four

eight four three six seven nine. And know a lot of people with Tyrod Taylor or Philip Rivers have questions for me, We'll be here to answer them. I'm gonna get you ahead of the playoff curve when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump. They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things

are only getting better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app ef he s y R Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven the best Fantasy sports on ten's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Spitting statistician holding you down on a Wednesday, I got Chris Pavona with a manimal with me on

the ones and two is keeping it so hot? What I was doing, I was telling you how you need to get ahead of the game if you are, you know, gonna be in the playoffs, and get yourself ready to make a long playoff run. The first thing is usually I don't care about the handcuffs. Now I care about

the handcuffs. Okay, if you have one of those, especially at the running back position, if you have some of those stud running backs a Melvin Gordon, Carlos Hide, a Shady McCoy, a Lady On Bell, a Kareem Hunt, you need to go and get that backup. You need to get Shark Anddrick West. Okay, you need to go ahead and get the toll Bert's of the world. You need to get the James Conners of the world. No one

else needs them. You need them just in case your stud goes down, because it would be let next man up if in fact that team operates from a Bell Cow perspective. The second thing you need to realize is that in the playoffs it becomes a little bit more like DFS rather than season long. And I say that to mean the matchup can become a dominant consideration. You know, you just need to get your best guy for just that week. For example, let's say you have two quarterbacks, right,

and you got Russell Wilson as one of them. Well, they've got the catch scratch fever Week four team, the first playoff week. I love Russell Wilson. He's the top five quarterback. If at any point this season you were like, should I drop Russell Wilson, Should I bench Russell Wilson? Should I trade Russell Wilson, I'm like, no, ride Russell Wilson. In the playoffs, it becomes a little bit different. Let's say you have two quarterbacks on your roster and you

have Russell Wilson and you also have Jared Goff. You need to start operating as though Jared Goff is your starting quarterback. Jared Goff in fact faces the Houston Texans Week fourteen. I like that matchup a lot better than Russell Wilson potentially getting shut down when you need him in the playoffs. You need to start to consider the matchups a lot more than the player because it is win or go home, and it's a one week situation.

Very much like DFS. To be quite honest, when I originally wrote this article for sports Grid, big time half plug for mom Man the King Scott angle over there, hooking him up over there at Sports Gride, I said the same thing about Tyrod Taylor. The Bills have the Indianapolis coltson that first playoff week. I would have thought it would have been a great matchup until we heard the news today. But that's point number two. Point number

one is go get the handcuffs. Point number two is matchup over just the player, as it usually is in season long. My third point and five, by the way, in matchups playoffs generally a week's fourteen, fifteen in sixteen. You know what, two teams play each other twice in that three week span in weeks fourteen and sixteen. Two teams where both of those games would be indoors in a dome, both of those games where I believe the

over under on the game will be over fifty. The New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons play each other twice in those three weeks. So when people are talking about, oh, Matt Ryan is uh, you know fading, I like his playoff matchups. All right, I just gotta tell you here's my third point. Defense can actually win you championships. You know they say defense wins championships, Well, defenses can win you Fantasy championships as well. And here's the best part.

Remember I told you you could cast the side, your second tight end, your fifth wide receiver, your fifth running back. Right now, you can start to look at good defensive playoff matchups and get those guys those teams on your roster. A lot of times, if you look at the matchup, you can find a mid level kind of defense that one is gonna own throughout the season. But if they have a great matchup in Week fourteen and you need them,

go right ahead and get them. For example, I on my own home league, I have the Baltimore Ravens defense. The Baltimore Ravens defense is number two in the rankings right now in Fantasy. So far this season, they've helped me to a likely playoff bound record of seven and three. Right I'm starting to look though, because the Baltimore Ravens they have like Detroit and Pittsburgh in two straight playoff weeks.

Those are not offenses I want to fade with my playoff season on the line, So try these guys on for size in Week fourteen. First of all, in Week thirteen, if you need a one winner, go home kind of thing, listen the Chargers are home against the Cleveland Browns. They get pressure on the quarterback. I don't care who the quarterback will be. That's an interesting one. But in Week fourteen, check these out. These are defenses you probably wouldn't have,

but because of the circumstance, I think they're viable. Think about the Patriots their home against the Dolphins going up north in December with who knows if it's Jay Cutler or Matt Moore by then. What about the Titans at home? They seem to be a bad defense, but they welcome the Arizona Cardinals. Maybe they'll have some tape on Blamee Gabbert by then. But my favorite one the Bills were talking about these Bills. They are home for the Indianapolis Colts,

a team coming out of the Dome. I think that's a very interesting Week fourteen defense. And Week fifteen, how about the Lions at home against the Bears. How about the Titans playing the forty Niners. You think I might

want to take the under on that game? Pick aside any side or my pick would be the New Orleans Saints if they are unknowned, they are home in the Dome in a game they'll need to win against the New York Jets, who will probably be looking at their tea time by then, or maybe even playing the kids. That's another consideration. Maybe teams that haven't been good all year, but also what about teams that might be like running out some of their kids at this point in the season.

And if you need a defense. Week sixteen, the Browns are playing the Bears, pick a side. The Giants are playing the Cardinals. Pick a side, but my pick. The Chiefs are at home against the Miami Dolphins. Those are some defenses you can look and I actually think at this point, if you're locked in and you got the spots to burn, grab two defenses, grab three, plot out all weeks the same way you would plot out like a knockout or a survivor pool. You could do that

with defenses. Right now, Plot out your defenses, look at the matchup more than the skill of the players at some point, and start to grab those handcuffs, all right, A Bivona. We got a late game of inches, nominee.

Check this out my boy on Twitter, yo g. He won by point forty eight, less than half a point, right, and he was facing Cam Newton, who put up a huge game so he sweated it out at the end and said that was his hashtag game of inches the last like kneel downs at the end for Cam and I thought it was okay, but then he sent me

his matchup and checked this out Bovona. His opponents started Michael Crabtree who was on a buy, and his opponent also started DD Westbrook, who wasn't activated off the pupelist. Just leet. I think this should disqualify his entry because he should have actually lost. I think it is poor form. If any team in your league is starting people with the buy or inattentive like that have guys on the pupelist still on, they shouldn't be invited back to the league.

So I think I disqualify this young g because he should have actually lost. In my opinion, I still like red Hammer as our hashtag game of inches. What do you think? Yeah, I gotta go with you on this one. Uh the fact that this guy only the guy only one because of of the biocause mismanagement of his opponent. Yeah exactly. And you know something, I agree with you. That other person, though, should be kicked out of the league. I hate when people do not fix their line ups.

That they're not paying attention. Like I know we all get busy, but come on, man, you know this is fantasy football season. You know you're gonna have to just put somebody in. Yeah, I completely agree with you. Uh, if I'm a commissioner, that Pittion would not be invited. And it create it's imbalancing the schedule, you know, like it's almost like giving a team a buy, you know, because what that manager is gonna manage other weeks, you know, and everyone else is gonna have to sweat it out

for real. And you got lucky and got a W. But I digress. Check it out. What we're gonna do. We're getting into my favorite part of the day. It's when I opened up the phones and talk to my stats over beat cipher. The phone rings are open right now. The number to call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We're gonna kick it off today in the cipher where my guy Trey in Memphis. Trey,

you're on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats. How can I help you get a W in week eleven? What's going on? How? Uh? I'm good? And Google? I got a question? I lost team Obile. You know they benched him. Um, I'm thinking, yeah, man, I'm gonna try to run into the playoffs. Man, you know, but I'm saving it three though, so I'm looking to to do it. So I'm but I got mad staff it. So I'm thinking to pick up see on the wable while And

what do you think about him? A k Keenum and also uh Clay by me losing Troy you know when his go to UH bargains, what do you think about like Austin Hooper or uh j Lord of somebody like that after of of yeah, I think listen, I do think this impacts Charles Clay a lot. We want to see what Peterman does with Clay. I definitely hear you. I would be okay with Jack Doyle. I think you mentioned I have I like Doyle over Austin Hooper, and yeah, I would do that over Clay because you gotta wait

and see. On all the bills, I think Lashawn McCoy is the only Buffalo bill I would feel comfortable starting in fantasy unless I see it moving forward, but at least for Week eleven, he'd be the only guy I feel comfortable with. As it relates to your quarterback position, man, I feel for you because I like t Mobile a lot. I thought he was gonna be good rest of the season, especially with that rushing potential. You said, though you have Matthew Stafford. All right, Trey and matt you Stafford, I

think is a great option to have. I think Matthew Stafford is a guy you can start every week. You did, however, mention that Philip Rivers was on the way a wire. I would go ahead and go ahead and pick up Philip Rivers, not to start in place of Stafford, but you need that kind of backup just in case God forbid. Uh, you know, your Stafford goes down or gets hurt something like that. So because of those reasons, yes, I would pick up Philip Rivers, but I would start Matthew Stafford.

And yes, I'm worried about Charles Clay, but it sounds like Jack Doyle is available to you, so I would do that. I would do that over Austin Hooper. All right, here's we're gonna do, guys. We gotta take a quick break. All right, we gotta pay some bills here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But first I gotta tell you, as always about d k MS. We are helping to fight against blood cancer. Go to Daily Roado dot com slash d k ms. We're doing free DFS contests every

week of the football season. If you win one of those, you get into the finals. Week seventeen. You win that, you get tickets for two up to Minnesota for the big Game where Justin timber Lake is doing the halftime show. I kind of think Janet Jackson will be there as well. We shall see. But the big part is you learn a lot more about how you can help to fight against blood cancer. You could register to be a bone

marrow donor or a blood donor. This way, even if you lose at DFS, you are still a winner in life, all right. The phone lines are open eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I see you, Paul E. T I see you, Danny out there in Ohio, te my man out there in Pittsburgh as well. When we come back, we're gonna be answering your calls. How to deal with Tyrod Taylor, how this impacts the bills,

trade questions, sits, start questions. If your waivers haven't run yet, I am here to help you win your leagues and win that cash.

the Stats over beat Cipher. It is the best part of my day when I get to try to help you guys win your leagues and win that cash. I tell you, I love the hashtags stats over beat Cipher. People hitting me up from Jamaica, people hit me up from New Zealand. People are hitting me up from all over the world. And I'm very excited and be that I can help you, you know how, worldwide. We are. I'm just getting messages right now for part of the cipher hashtag stats over beats from my man now, bitch

Greingo down there in Mexico City. He's holding it down, giving you the best barbecue you could possibly have, a big shout out to my man. No pinch a gringo. Hope everything is down there is doing okay after the tragic earthquake that happened um down there. But if you're ever down there, look up my man up Pine Greeno and he's got questions. You have questions, So let's open up the phones and get to him. Next up on the Fantasy Freestyle, because my man poorly T a true

friend of the cipher. Delley Delly, what's up, poorly T? How are you doing alright? I'm doing alright? What's up? How can we up um again? In a twelve man PPR, I got that dreaded tight end question with Roster, Safari and Jenkins. I'm buying I need a little help in the tight end position. You know, they're all about deven point or six pointers. Tyler Croft, Julius Thomas c. Federates and the rest of the six pointers and a little bit more fair enough of those guys that you mentioned,

I like Tyler Croft. I like Tyler Croft. Here's why they're facing to Denver this week. You know that Denver shuts down the run game. You know that Denver is great on the outside, they're not as great at the tight end position. If you saw Sunday Night Football at all last week, they made the point on air that the New England Patriots were not utilizing their outside wide receivers. They were using their backs and they were utilizing the tight end. I think Cincinnati will try to do the

same thing. I think Tyler Croft is your best chance of the guys you mentioned to get into the end zone, because you're absolutely right a s J the rasthan Safari and Jenkins. The Rastafari King halis a lassie. I is on by of those those I like Tyler Croft. I hope that helps you out um, help that helps throughout the tight end. I would go with I mentioned how much I love the stats overbeat Cipher. Remember another way

to get at me is on Twitter. We got the poll question up right now, which first or second year quarterback would you most want to start your franchise with? The options are Jared Goff Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, and Deshaun Watson. Right now, there is a blow away winner. I won't reveal that until the end of the show. If you want to check me out on Twitter at Spitting Speeds you can find out. We'll see if it changes. But right now that's one of those four guys have

fifty three percent of the vote. I actually thought it would be much closer than that. We keep it going here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Up next is Garrett in Louisiana. Garrett, you're dropping stats over beats with the spitting Statistician. How can I help you? For Week eleven? Say what's speed? I got a quick trade question, looking to trade Jared

McKinnon and Devin Funches for either Julio Jones or Doug Baldwin. Wait, say there again, You're trying to trade McKinnon and Funches, And yeah, McKinnon and Funches for either Julio Jones are for either Julio Jones or Doug Baldwin. Um, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, I told you. I like the matchups that the Atlanta Falcons have in the playoff season. I like Julio Jones, and I think, um yeah, I like Julio Jones. I like Julio Jones rest of season a little bit better

than Doug Baldwin. I like his matchups in the playoffs a little bit better. And I told you about that a little bit earlier in the show, and I was talking about organizing for uh for the playoff run. Check it out. Here's the here the Falcons. They have the Seahawks this Monday night, No Richard Sherman on Julio Jones. Then Tampa Bay badass defense. Then Minnesota, which is a good one, right, but then the playoff weeks New Orleans, Tampa Bay, New Orleans again, all of those games indoors.

I like the Falcons. Give me Julio Jones, So I would I I do respect that McKinnon and Funches, go grab yourself, Julio Jones. That's who I would go with. Hope it works out for you. Garrett. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Ohio. It is any dropping stats over beaton Ohio. You're part of the cipher. How can Speeds help you for Week eleven? Danny Hey, Speeds, Um, thanks for taking a call. Uh. Let's see. So basically, I wanted to touch up and when you talk about

earlier about stashing defenses, um for the playoffs. So I'm gonna ten team PPR. I'm six and four right now. Um, I got three tight ends. Um, so I have Jason Witten, Jack Doyle AP I picked up grad goals, I stashed him. So out of those, do you think I should let's say drop let's say next week, drop Jason Witten or drop Jake Doyle. Now that's a defense. Yeah you think that. Yeah, you said you have Olsen as your third tight end. Yes, yeah.

So here's the thing. Once Olsen is back in week twelve, you're starting him every week the rest of the season, right, Danny, you know, so all you really need is a tight end for week eleven. So out of Witten and Doyle, whichever one you're starting this week, the other one is proppable right now. And then as soon as next week happens and we get word that Olsen is back and practicing,

then the other one of those guys is droppable. Immediately you were starting Greg Olsen week to week after that, that means that these guys are you know, sacrifice herble parts, shall we say, And then worse comes to worse. Greg Olsen gets hurt again. You can find the tight end. The caliber of those guys on the waiver wire. Yes, those guys are superficial parts. I understand that you need one more for just this week, but absolutely play the matchups.

Look who's available. I would start looking at week fourteen if that's when your playoffs starts. I told you some guys, I like, some teams. I like. Find the matchups that's best for week fourteen, and yeah, you could drop that extraneous tight end. Thanks for the call, Danny. I hope it works out for you. Hope you make the playoffs At six and four. It maybe a little bit tighter, but I don't know your league. If you're still look contender,

then yes, do that right now. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle is t in Pittsburgh out there the Steel City. Listen man. I am heavily invested in the Steel City. I had the Pittsburgh Steelers going to the super Bowl at the beginning of the season. They're rounding into form, mostly because I have to fade the Patriots. And I also hope lev Bell has carries me to a Fantasy championship this year. Tee, what's going on? How can I help you in week eleven and beyond Spee be real quick, man.

I gotta I gotta two running backs one slip these five guys. I got Abdulah, Rob Smith, J. P Ryan, Rex Burkett and Kevin Benjamin two running backs in the flex. I gotta tell you the truth. I don't like the options that much. Um Abdullah is in. I don't like rod Smith, you said, p Rhyan and who else? Abdullah Benjamin KB? Who is the Birkhead? Um is this PPR standard up a PR. I don't like Rod Smith, and I'm worried about Nate Peterman. For Calvin Benjamin, I you know,

maybe he's Kevin Benjamin. I think you Bench. I think if they show some good chemistry, you could put him back in your lineup. But for me, I would go Updula. Then I would go p Ryan as my second because I think he gets the work uh split with Thompson there in Washington. And then I go Birkhead because it is PPR. Burkhead has been doing a little bit of work in the passing game. You saw it last week for the Pats. He had a nice little game. Next

up on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Arizona. We got ka dub k dub is in Arizona dropping stats over for beats. What's up? Man? How could I help you for a week eleven and beyond? You know what's going on? Man? You know? Um, I gotta wire receiver question? Actually, okay, um. I was actually wondering, um because I got a one to go find receivers right now I'm starting um Chester of course yea, um, but um, right now I only can start one more. I'm designed between Robert Wood, in

between Calvin Benjamin and Michael Crabtree. And I also got Robby Anderson, but he's he is on by with those I go. I like Juju, I like Crabtree. I like crab Tree. I actually listen, okay, the I love Robert Woods and all. I think, however, this is the week where he regresses just a little bit. He's been too hot for the last couple of weeks. I think he naturally takes a step back. Part of the beauty of

the Rams offense this year. I don't know how often you listen, but I call the Rams offense like a fantasy herd. You never know. It's like that their strength is in the pack right. You never know, like maybe next week it'll be Walkins, Maybe next week it'll be Cooper Cup. It's been Woods and he's been real consistent. But I think they go to Minnesota and at Minnesota

Xavier Woods, Terrence Newman. Their secondary is deep. That Vikings defense is good at home, So I would lean elsewhere if you have a good option, and you do in Crabtree down in Mexico City taking on the Paths. Okay, So I like Juju, I like crab Tree, and then if you need a third, it would be Robert Woods. Crab Tree and the Oakland Raiders are going to Mexico City to take on the Paths. If you are down there in Mexico City, you gotta check out my man,

oh Pinch Gringo and his barbecue. That's the second plug for the Pinch Gringo. Today, our last caller of the day, We've got Cliff in Beantown. We go up to Boston. Hey, Cliff, what's going on? And dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds. What's up? What's going on? Man? Got a big question for you? Are okay? I only like big questions. Don't bring those small questions to me anymore.

All right there, Cliff, exactly, so coming in three right now, I'm in a ten person PPR, got the playoffs coming up in a couple of weeks. So I got these little strategies that I'm doing where I'm holding three quarterbacks and just rotating them for the red of the season. Now we're not what I want to do. Is I really like Big Ben's rest of the season schedule? Do you think he wors to pick up? And I'm looking to drop buck Allen? Yeah, I think you can drop

buck Allen. I think you can drop back Allen. Cliff. And here's why. Two words, Danny Woodhead. Danny Woodhead is coming back. It looks like this week I think Danny Woodhead will assume some of those PPR um opportunities. And I agree with you. I'm looking at the Steelers matchups for the rest of the season. Tennessee this week, not a great past defense, green Bay after that, not a great past defense. Then at Cincinnati week thirteen, that could

be a little bit tough. But then in the big time playoff weeks that you need, fourteen and fifteen and sixteen, they are home in fourteen and fifteen you know, Ben is better at home, and he's got New England in there. That past defense and then sixteen championship Dame at Houston, one of the worst past defenses in the league. That game takes place on Christmas might be a great Christmas present for you. When and we come back to we check in on those polls and uh, the cipher responded

real quick, I'm very proud. I'll let you know what I'm talking about when we come back. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle. The Minnesota Vikings said they were very tempted to start Teddy Bridgewater, but instead they said that after case Keenum's performance last week where he drew for over three yards, they couldn't

set him down. Fear is a great motivator. The same thing happened here case Keenum, and it looked like he did, in fact save his job with a good performance last week. Let's see if he can do it again week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, La La La, La La. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. At your Boys speed, The spitting statistician holding

you down on a Wednesday. We just helped out the stats overbeat Cipher when their leagues and when that cash. Just feel so much love from everybody. Hit me up on Twitter showing me how well they are doing and check this out. You know it's great, Like I I say something and the Cipher responds, already check this out at a few amigos hit me up on Twitter with in fact, a screenshot of his team and lineup showing that he is ten and oh on the season. That's

what I'm talking about. We're over here helping him win his league and win that cash. I told you earlier in the show. We gotta pull question up. Which first second year quarterback would you most want to start your franchise with? Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott or Deshaun Watson Right now fifty two percent over half of you. And this is with about two d and fifty votes so far, just in the last hour. You're going with

Carson Wentz when Sylvania. If we asked this question at the beginning of the season, I think it would have been Dak Prescott. If we asked this question about a month and a half, ago it might have been Deshaun Watson. A lot of people love the best, um, you know, the trajectory of Jared Goff, with Sean McVeigh as well, But fifty three percent of you are taking when Sylvania the currents on favorite to win the end NFL MVP Award, Clayton Trey Han out there also says Wentz with a

slight lean. Tyrone Williams, however, on Twitter is saying no thinks that Goff has way more potential. All I know is that the Cleveland Brown struck out on the opportunity to get all of these guys, So I find that very interesting. Indeed, on tomorrow show, on the Fantacy Freestyle, we're gonna start going deep into the matchups of week eleven. I'm gonna have my spotlight games. I'm gonna give you some diamonds in the rough and some fantasy fool gaze.

These the guys you need to forget about in key matchups in week eleven, including of course Thursday Night Football, which will kick off week A Levin as the Steelers host Exotic smash Mouth and the Tennessee Titans. And also on Tomorrow Show, we got another Fantasy football rap remix from my guys Young cars. Uh you know the effect. They got a new one. It's from my Boys, so fresh and so clean, talking about Alvin Kamara and mark Ingram. I'll leave it at that. You need to check out

tomorrow's episode. They do a great job with their rap remix Fantasy football parodies, and we got another one on tomorrow's edition of the Fantasy Freestyle. All right. We also have people hitting us up on the YouTube chat. So I'm bringing in my boy, Chris, the Anna's venture analyst Ventra. Right now, Hey, Chris, what are the people saying on YouTube? They're talking about everything. They're talking about trade, talking about who they should pick up. A lot of people want

to pick up Um Drake. All right, Yeah. I like Kenyan Drake. I like he's got a great matchup against Tampa Bay this week. It looks like Drake separated himself from Damien Williams in that backfield. I think it's still going to be a committee, but it looks like, you know, Drake kind of like sixty or seventy thirty instead of what I thought was a true time share right after the gy E move. But I got some questions for you ready all right, So first one real quick, who

would you start this week? You gotta pick one PPR Marshawn Lynch, Kenyan, Drake, Orleans Darka or Dougie Fresh. That's not easy. It is not easy. It is not easy. Um, Drake, I would go you know, I was thinking about Drake, but I would go Dark One. I like Dark One. Dark One has been running well lately. It's very close. I would go Darkwa. Then Drake. Then maybe doug Martin. Uh, you saw a Carolina it in the run game against the Dolphins on Monday night. Maybe that is the elixir

for Dougie Martin to get back going as well. But my answer, if you have to pick one, would be Orleans Dark Wing Duck. Um. That's about it from here tonight. When we come back tomorrow, like I said, we dive into the spotlight games of week eleven Diamonds and fool Gazes. We gotta rap remix and we have the stats over beat Cipher coming together to win some leagues and wins that cash. I'm de Boyd, Dame Martinez, Peete and Spitting Statistician. Have a great night, everybody. I'll see you tomorrow.
