We got a big show for you on a Friday. No, no, no, you can play it because I got my man Chris. What he does is keep it so hot that we

But we're gonna open up the phones at eight four four, eight four, three six, eight seven nine. I'm gonna help answer everybody's questions, help them get a w in lucky week number thirteen. In many leagues, this is the end of the regular season, a lot of people with win and they get into the playoff kind of scenarios. I'm gonna try and help my hashtag

stats over beat cipher as much as I can. As always on a Friday, though, I'm gonna give out my DFS lineup. We're gonna have our guy, Chris the analyst Ventra. It's simple boy. He's gonna call in a little bit later on. We're gonna talk DFS for a week thirteen. We're also going to talk about the home dogs and the big spreads as usual, and that brings me to Thursday night football. Once again, the people and speeds got

it wrong. I said at the end of the show yesterday something like seventies sent of you liked Washington as a road favorite. I gotta start listening to myself. How many times have I said it on this show that I always love the home dogs, that I love the home team on Thursday Night Football. Well, the Cowboys fit both of those criteria. Yet I told you that I liked Washington. I gotta listen to myself and fade the public.

Sometimes I did get Thursday Night Football pretty wrong. But I have rationale for a why, and we'll talk about it. Then we'll flip this trend forward. Okay, we'll see if the home dog trend continues. There's a couple of cases where I definitely think it will, and somewhere I think you're okay to lay the points with the road favorite. We'll talk about that, and I gotta pull question up on it as well. Which home dog do you think

has the best chance to win? Outright? This Sunday, the Bills are getting eight and a half points at home against the Pats. The Jets are getting a field goal at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cards are getting a touchdown at home against the Los Angeles Rams, and then the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football are getting five and a half against the ten and one Philadelphia Eagles. On Monday Night, you get the same situation. The Bengals

are getting points at home against the Steelers. We'll talk about that on Monday, though, So which of those four on Sunday do you think I have the best chance to keep this trend going and win out right? You can fit hit me up on Twitter at Spitting Speeds to answer the poll asked me questions, and of course you could hit me up on the phones at eight four four, eight four, three, six seven nine. Will answer some YouTube questions at the end of the show as well.

We thirteen is upon us Home Dogs DFS and your questions when we come back is the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go on Frank Stanfeld 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? All you need to do is answer for treatment questions correctly, and you are going to the big Game in Minnesota on February four. How do we get involved? Keep listening to a fantasy sports radio network every day and find

out what we're playing. The showtime changes to make sure you're always locking loaded and you can be into because make sure you listen to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every day up until the Big Game because we're trying to get away tickets for you in Minnesota. It's a Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by d k MS only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What Up? Cause? What up? Lug? What up again? Stop? We're back here on the Fantasy

Freeze style. Let's your void speeds. That's bitting statusticition and holding you down on a football Friday, getting ready for Lucky Week thirteen. A lot of people in the Stats over Beats Cipher are gonna be asking questions because they're in, like, you know, winner get in kind of scenarios. To be quite honest, though, Stats over Beat Cipher, my crew on Fantasy Freestyle, they got their playoff spots locked up. They're competing for buys and regular season prize money, if you

want to know the truth. And so we gotta get it started by helping them out. And we're gonna start as we always do, with the news and notes and practice reports around the NFL. First of all, Um McVeigh out there in Los Angeles with Ram says Robert Woods with that shoulder injury, he's still maybe two weeks away. He might not play again until week fifteen. So you gotta start thinking about if he's worth that roster spot.

If you aren't really in a crunch, you may need to cut bait if you need that, uh you know that that roster spot for that push. I also believe it's a great opportunity for Cooper cup. I'll talk a little bit more about that, I think when my DFS lineup comes out later on in the show. The Packers have also sent Time Montgomery to i R, thus effectively

ending his season. So it's gonna be Jamal Williams and maybe Aaron Jones riding it out for the rest of the season for the pack Um, Shady McCoy didn't practice today. He popped up on the injury report yesterday with a knee injury, and yesterday they still said he was a full participant in practice. He didn't practice today. Um, they're saying they could play. He could play without them practicing that sort of thing. But Trup t VARs Cadet would be the next man up there, I believe in Buffalo.

Keep an eye on that. I'm very interested to see if Shady McCoy gets a full complement of snaps, if he can in fact go against the New England Patriots um Aaron Jones was limited today. I think it's trending in the right direction. He may in fact get some snaps and he may play. That would hurt Jamal Williams. But Aaron Jones will be a true game time decision with that knee. Adrian Peterson will also be a true

game time decision with that neck injury. For Arizona, it would be DJ Foster up next of all people, although I don't know if you want to trust that with your playoffs on the line. Richard Matthews also looks like a true game time decision. Christian McCaffrey is questionable, but he should go. Greg Olsen got in a limited practice, so he might be able to go. Also for Carolina, Alex Collins got in a limited practice. He's listening as questionable, but he should be on the good side of that

and go for the Baltimore Orioles and sad story. Katy Hayward the cornerback for the Chargers. His brother was killed in a car accident earlier this week, so Casey Hayward is with his family and he will be questionable not only because of a calf injury that he's had, but because of those personal reasons, so our best regards go

out to the Haywood family after that accident. It does, however, mean though, remember like Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman, they may have a little bit of a better matchup this week against the Chargers. Also, um Starling Shepard removed from the injury report. He'll come back after those migraines. Mike Davis for Seattle removed through the injury report. Looks like he's gonna go for the Seattle Seahawks. I like Mike Davis, I just don't like him this week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

I think Mike Davis could, however, be the Seahawks running back of choice down the stretch. And remember DeVante Freeman is back. He won't be limited. I think he's in the back end RB one conversation this week even against the Minnesota Vikings. Out this week, Calvin Benjamin has been ruled out. Za Jones, Charles Clay picking up the slack, Chris Hogan ruled out. Let me tell you something. There's no timeline for his return. Okay, he's gonna be missing

another couple of weeks. I think it's viable. You could, you know, if you need the roster spot, you can cut Chris Hogan. I don't think at this point he's missed what five six games. Even if he does come him back, he's gonna need, you know, to get himself, his legs and his wind back under him him. You don't want a player that's going through that process for you in week fourteen or fifteen when you're in the fantasy playoffs. Doug Martin has also been ruled out. Remember

he's in the concussion protocol. So to me, that means a little bit more pop quiz Jock quiz Rogers. All right, I told you about Thursday night football game. Last night again Cowboys beat the Washington football team thirty eight to fourteen. Remember the overrun there was forty seven. The Cowboys were two point home dogs. I said Washington and the under I was wrong. I admit it. But here's the thing. I go against my own damn trends. How many times

my stats overbeat cipher. How many times have you heard me this season say the home dogs. I love the home dogs, but I didn't go with the home dog. How many times have you heard me say I love the home team on Thursday night football? I love the home team on Thursday Night football Dallas. Check both of those boxes, and I didn't go for it. Here's what happened though. I think that punt return touchdown really changed the momentum of this game. And the other thing that

did was the Washington turnovers. Okay, Kirk Cousins two interceptions and a fumble. Jamison crowded with the fumble as well. You're not gonna win many games when you turn the ball over four times, especially on the road, and those are the kind of things that you know, the home team and the Thursday night football home team, that's the kind of things you get in your favor, the turnovers, the special teams plays, you know, that really can change

the emotion of the crowd and get it going. It was kind of a stale, slow moving game in the first and second quarter until that punt return by Switzer, you know, so I think that was interesting. Also, remember this those offensive lineman Lyle Collins Zack Martin back in their normal spots and that's what really allowed them, I think, to get a game script that they were up early in this game ten seventeen. Nothing that allowed them to

pound Alfred Morris and Alfred Morris. That was the move twenty seven carries, a hundred and twenty seven yards and a touchdown, But it was in fact the game script that allowed that to happen, very similar to how I say, you know, let Tavis Murray was able to be, you know, kind of the Minnesota Vikings back over the last couple of weeks because the Vikings were up big. That's why Rod Smith did not do it. Even though I know, I admitted I had him as a potential diamond in

the rough in the game last night. The game script did not work in his favor. He did get a touchdown that saved his night, but ten carries with twenty seven yards is not what you wanted. That touchdown really saved you. So it still got about nine points, which is viable. If that's what you were trying to get out of Rod Smith. You couldn't really been expecting too much more. Ryan Grant on the Washington side entered the

fray as well. Remember I said that the pie was really gonna be some ad ap Ryan Josh Dotson and Jamison Crowder, Vernon Davis Well, Well Grant is getting involved as well. Touchdown saved Josh Dotson's night. He would have been three for twenty six else, you know, Otherwise, Josh Dawson once again not making catches on some fifty balls. Um Crowder would have been even better, but he did

have that fumble. But I still think Jamison Crowder, Jamo the pickleback man, is where it's at for this past offense. Moving forward, all right, what I do gotta do is I, like I always say, I want to talk about these home dogs. I have the poll question up there as well. Buffalo Bills are given eight and a half points to the Patriots or getting eight and a half to the Patriots at home, I think you lay these points. I think the Pats are on full on fu mode right now.

I think they brow by And the thing is the Buffalo Bills. Remember they have been getting gash lately in the run game. I think Dion Lewis and Rex Burkehead both have good games. You know, McCoy popped up on the injury report, uh Kelvin Benjamin not playing. I don't know how Buffalo scores that much. Tyrod Taylor is on his last legs up there in Buffalo. You know, after a hot started sort of unraveling for the Bills, I think the Patriots win this game going away. I think

they could win this game by double digits. Call it a thirty one seven team kind of game. I would lay the points and still take New England. The New York Jets are getting three points at home. Now. The Jets have been a better team, and this is gonna be the one of these that I think people disagree with me the most, but I lay the points. I think the Chiefs are gonna have a bounce back week this week. I think the hate has gone too far on the Kansas City Chiefs. I think Kareem Hunt has

a little bit of a bounce back. I think Alex Smith has a good game and it's not turning the ball over going downfield a little bit more. Once again, I kind of think the Chiefs bounce back and people are starting to think like the Jets are a good team. The Jets are not a good team. I understand that the Kansas City Chiefs past defense has been given it up, but Josh McCown gives it up as well. All right, So I actually like the Chiefs to win this game and keep their hold on first place in the a

f C West, all right. I think that the hate has gone a little bit too far for Kansas City. I think they win this game, and I think they do it by more than three points. I can see this game being, you know, kind of game seventeen kind of game, a twenty three fourteen kind of game. I think the Chiefs win, and I don't think the backdoor cover comes from the J E. T S Jets, Jets Jets. The next one is the Arizona Cardinals. They are get giving um, excuse me, they're getting seven points against the

Los Angeles Rams in Arizona. Here, I take the points. I take the Cardinals mostly because it's a divisional matchup. Okay, I think Patrick Peterson can shut down um, Sammy Watkins. I think Blaine Gabbert has played okay, and I think the Rams could win this game, but I don't think they do it by double digits or more than a touchdown, especially in a division matchup. I think this one could be close. I think you could also get a backdoor

cover here. Maybe the Rams are up, you know, in this game fourteen, and then they get that last touchdown Arizona and garbage time to make it like one kind of game. I think that could happen. I would take the points and the cards against the Los Angeles Rams. And the last one is the Seahawks. When have the Seahawks gotten five or six points at home against anybody and not been the play I like the Seahawks in this one. Okay, I like the Seahawks in this one.

I would take the points. And the reason why is because this is the first time that the Philadelphia Eagles are really on that prime time national stage against like a blue collar team, blue blood kind of team, these Seahawks. They are competing for their playoff lives. You still got the twelfth man to deal with. I think the Eagles could win this game. I think they could score some points.

But I don't think anyone's blowing Russell Wilson out. He always pulls plays out of his hind parts, and I think he'll do enough to get a back door cover. And I don't think Philly's blowing out the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle. I gotta say that, all right. When we come back though here on the Fantasy Freestyle, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna bring in my guy, Chris the analyst Ventra. It should all and when he comes in. What we're gonna do is we're gonna talk DFS lineups

for week thirteen. I know a lot of people are spending money. Cyber Monday just passed. You gotta buy some gifts. What you need to do is hit on this DFS lineup and then you get a little bit of extra cash and I'm gonna give you my plays. We'll hear from Ventra as well.

I gotta tell you

something before we get into it. Okay, with the lineups that we're about to give my man Christie Analyst, Ventro Species and spitting Statustician, what you can do is take it.

Even if you don't win, you're still a winner at life because you learn about how you can support the fight against blood cancer baby be a bone marrow donor, a blood donor, and really help out. That's the Fantasy Sports Network and d k MS. But now we're bringing my guy,

Chris the analyst Ventra. It's your boy. How you doing, Chris? What's good? It's your boy? How you doing? I'm doing alright, I'm doing alright. Let's dive right in. I think there's a lot of opportunity here. We got some injuries and some next man up situations which could provide some interesting lineups here for Lucky Week thirteen. Let's start at the quarterback position. Chris, where you going at quarterback right now? I'm I'm sticking with I'm having a lot of trouble

this week. I don't know why, but I'm having trouble making a good lineup. But I'm right now, I'm going with risin at quarterback and eight thousands. But he doesn't really fit well into my full salary at the problem. I'm not, you know, using my whole salary yet. Interesting this week, okay, and Rivers has been hot lately with the re emergence of Keenan Allen, I mean four hundred and thirty four yards and three touchdowns on Thanksgiving. He has had you know, two touchdowns the last few weeks

as well, I like that Tony Um. Tony Sincada had Philip Rivers in his poll as one of the top quarterbacks as well. Chris, I'm going with Russell Wilson. I'm paying up and I'm going with Russell Wilson. I like Russell Wilson. Against this Philadelphia Eagles past defense, I think the Eagles score and the Seahawks will have to score to try to keep up with them. You know, they can't run the ball, especially against his number one ranked Phillipy run defense, So I think that's gonna be all

Russell Wilson. I know they're gonna get a great pass rush because the offensive line is blunt, guts trash for Seattle as well, but that means more rushing potential for Russell Wilson and I like that too, So he's my quarterback at eight two hundred. Let's move now, um, Chris. I mean, if you've got Philip Rivers, I can only assume that one of your wide receivers is Mr Keenan Allen, who has blown up the last couple of weeks. Am I correct on that? Right? All right? So talk talk

to me about that white Outs. Keenan Allen and who else Allen, I'm going with their Then I'm going a little bit uh lower Adam feeling oh, I got a feeling wheel and feeling reeling and feeling all right there. I like what you're doing, Ventra and then No. One out three, I'm gonna go. Davante Adams is gonna ride that hot hand because right now it seems like the only receiver in Green Bay that's getting done week after week lately. Yeah, I like that a lot. I really

like that Davante Adams played. Tony Sencada likes it as well. I think the Packers up against the Tampa Bay Bucks of bottom ten pass defense, I think the Bucks have also sort of mailed it in. I think they know they are not contending. They didn't get the they didn't meet expectations this year. I think, like the Giants, they're booking their tea times for the golf course in early January already. And and also you know they're going up to Green Bay. They're a Florida team going up to

the cold in December. I think that could be an issue as well. I think Brent Hundley has gotten a little bit better as the weeks have gone along, and You're absolutely right, Chris, Davante Adams has been his number one wide receiver, so it sounds like you've got Keenan Allen Davante Adams, and then who was the third again right wheeling and feeling. I like that Marcus Trufont. Marcus Trufont might be out for the Atlanta Falcons also, which really bolsters the case. And I got a feeling that

you could be right with Adam. I like that a lot, Chris. Remember I said I got Russell Wilson, so I'm stacking him with Doug Baldwin. I gotta have Doug Baldwin against that Philadelphia Eagles past defense, which is I think something like thirty or thirty first in the league. You know, Dougie Baldwin can do big things. Teach me how to Dougie. I also have DeAndre Hopkins in my lineup against a bad Tennessee Titans pass defense. And let me tell you something.

DeAndre Hopkins is number two in the NFL and targets. Targets mean the opportunity, and that's what you need to accumulate points in DFS. I don't care if Tom Savage is as a bad quarterback. I don't care if DeAndre Hopkins only catches fifty percent of the targets that come his way, because he might get fourteen targets that I could still be seven for one, ten and a touchdown and give me DeAndre Hopkins and what I think is a plus matchup at eight thousand dollars in my third

wide out, I'm going Cooper Cup. I was telling everybody how much I like Cooper Cup last weekend. He went for one, eight for one, sixteen. Robert Woods is still out, okay, and the thing is against the Arizona Cardinals. You know, Patrick Peterson has the ability to shut people down, but he's gonna shut down Sammy Watkins. On the other side, Cooper Cup is living in the slot. I like him to get you know, six seven, eight grabs and a hundred yards again for these Los Angeles rams. So I'm

going de hop Doug Baldwin and Cooper Cup. What about a tight end? Where are you going? I think there's some very interesting plays. And Chris, do you believe this? On Line Up Block Live? You know, we make the people's lineup the people. The people are going with Ricky Seals Joe as their tight end this week Ricky Seela Jones exactly. They got the recency bias strong. Where are you going to tight end, Chris, I'm actually going with it.

I guess this kind of a recency bias thing too, but I think he's kind of falling under the radar. It's only Hunter Henry. I'm stacking with Rivers and Keena. Now, interesting that I think that Rivers is gonna have to throw a lot in skin. Cleveland's pretty good against the run. I think obviously the Chargers should get the ball a lot. The Chargers the should do well their offense. So the more times the balls enhanced for Rivers, the more opportunities

for Hunt to Henry and Kane. Now, and I know you say you like Hunter Henry moving forward because you think that Antonio Gates is no longer a viable option. Yeah, that's absolutely true. I think Hunter Henry is also a great dynasty status for next year. I like that. You know what, um Tony also likes the Los Angeles Chargers defense. And that's a similar thesis to what you're saying right now, Christy.

This idea that you know, the Browns might turn it over a few times, they may have some short feel and Rivers and that charges offense may have multiple possessions. So you're going back to the well. You're heavy on the chargers this week with Rivers Keenan Allen and Hunter Henry. I am also out on the West Coast, but I am in the Bay Area and Oakland. I'm going with Jared Cook at fifty hundred, very similar price point. So what you just said with Hunter Henry. But check this out.

I mean the Giants. You know how the Giants have given it up to the tight end all season long. Right. They had a streak where they the tight end scored almost every week. I think that was snapped a couple of weeks ago, right, But then also, these Raiders are without Amari Cooper there without Michael Crabtree. Someone has to pick up the slack. It might be beast mode and they just ground in pound. But I think Jared Cook is gonna be an interesting part of this offense on Sunday.

He's my tight end at fifty five hundred. Where are you going defensively, Chris, I'm actually going even further the charges charges as well. I'm really stacking them hard. They gotta hit hard for me. The was I missed completely Okay, fair enough, so you are all in on the Los Angeles Charges. Let me ask you this, Chris, do you think the Charges have a chance in the a f C. West.

I mean, they're getting hot at the right time. It looks like they have a decent scheduled down to the stretch, and it looks like people really think that the Kansas City Chiefs are running out of steam. You think the Charges have a chance in that division? I absolutely think the Charges, especially that Oakland's kind of falling apart now and Kansas City and you know, and you know Denver is unraveling as well. Yeah, well Denver's Yeah, Denver's now

they're past their their prime years. I think, you know, they might have to rebuild at this point. But the Charges actually have a shot to maybe win this division now, and I think that's the only way they could probably really get in. They're gonna have to fight for it, and they always play these close seams, so I think they can do it. But I think they might be once again full short at the end, or something could

be a hot break they always are. It could be another one like that for the Los Angeles charge Ugers, formerly known as the San Diego charges. But listen, they're only one game back if they beat the Cleveland Browns, you know, and there's some uh, there's some potential for them to get right back into it with the a f C. West. I am paying up for my defense. I'm going with the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. They're at home against Indianapolis, And listen, we know about that offensive

line in Indianapolis. We also know that the Jacksonville Jaguars have not won but two games this year where they have had ten sacks. I don't know if they're gonna get ten, but I do think they're gonna get a boatload against this Indianapolis Colts offensive line. They are at home. They need to win in order to stay in the top of that division along with Tennessee Titans. The Jaguars are in December and have something to play for. I don't know the last time anybody could have uttered those words,

but I like Jacksonville at fifties six hundred. Hey, Chris, what are you doing this weekend? Man? How's uh, what's life like on a December weekend for the analyst? Uh? This weekend, I'm actually I'm working with you, guys. I'm gonna be at tomorrow and Sunday while. All right, so you're gonna be here on Lineup Block Live on Sunday Morning with Dane Martinez, Maria Marino, Corey Parsons, and Emery Hunt.

Oh venture, you're gonna love it. We bring in Dr A from Inside Injuries, We bring in Tony Sencada for DFS. We bring in our guy, Jake Seeley, the all in Kid. And you've probably heard the commercials. If you listen to this network, you've definitely heard the commercials. And as Maria Marino tells you, it is so good, so much fun. But do me a favor, Chris, if you're working, can you bring me some eggs or something, because apparently I do need eggs after four hours on a Sunday morning,

nine am to kick off East. And I'm glad that you're gonna be with us this Sunday morning, Chris. Yeah, absolutely so. One thing we forgot what about all running back? We didn't talk about your backs. Weren't talk running back because quarterbacks, Okay, give me a quarter and get me oh man, we're up against the break. Here's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're gonna do. Here's we're gonna do. We're gonna open up the phone line. So how at me at eight four or four four seven nine? Chris,

do me a favorite? Tell Chris Bovona over the break who you're running backs? All? Represent those? I'll give mine out as well, and then we'll open up the phone lines and answer the questions of the stats over beach side from Sorry Chris, I forgot, but we'll get your positions represented here on the fantasy Freestyle. Come all right back. You want to hear his running backs, don't you? Does your fantasy football team suck? Did you draft David Johnson

with the first pick? I can help you out. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand? For better yet, in the pocket of your capis? We'll check it out now you can. It's a fantasy sports radio network app. Download it down to your phone. We promised, no weird viruses, no strange tracking things, just twenty four hours a day, seven days a week of pure fantasy knowledge dropping all over your head.

It's a fantasy sports radio network app. Stop being a weirdo and streaming it online and get it on your phone. Take it with you every where you go. It's murder. But I'm having a job Rule. I gotta find out what was up with job Rule? You know? Job Rule was like, I wonder who's taller, Jaw Ruler, Kevin Hart. Both of them are weak. Both of them are we men, But big shout out to Jaw Rules. Murder murdering, you know what it is. And what about all those guys?

You know, he was hot for a hot second out there. But in any event, we were just talking with Chris the analyst Ventra, and I was so excited that he's gonna join us and help produce a Sunday line up block lock Lock Live this week that I completely forgot about his DFS running backs. He let me know who he's got over the break, and I'm gonna tell you something. I like his running backs. Okay, we both have um

Jordan Howard in our lineups. We both have Jordan Howard at seventy fandel going up against those San Francisco forty Niners who still have a bottom three run defense. I think, listen, there are not many bell Cows left in the NFL, and I think Jordan Howard is a guy who can get twenty five carries if the game script is right. Chicago Bears are better at home, so maybe the game script will be right. I like Jordan Howard as well.

He is in my lineup. I like him a lot. Um. My other running back is Dion Lewis at I actually think the Patriots have streamlined their committee a little bit, and I think it is Dion Lewis and early down work, and I think it's Rex Burkehead as the pass catching guy. I think Dion Lewis is gonna do well. You've seen how Buffalo has been gashed in the last month by the run games of other teams, whether it be the Chargers or the Panthers. I really like Dion Lewis as well.

And then Chris is going with Kareem Hunt at um. I think that's interesting. I do think the hate has gone a little bit too far on the Kansas City Chiefs in the last couple of weeks. I think they might have a little bit of a bounce back game and show some pride. I mentioned that as well when I talked about my home dogs, and I do not think the Jets are one that I would use as

a home dog this week. All right, it's like I said, my favorite time of the day, it's time to open up the phone to the hashtag stats over beat cipher. You know the number to call. It's eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I gotta say first though, speak shout out to my man Craig on Twitter at Dusty. He sent me a link and showed me, Yo, there's mad dilly dilly merchandise out there right now. The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to take over on this with

a little Pittsburgh Steelers logo. There is also apparently some dilly dilly ugly holiday sweaters out there for sale. Check this out, Stats overbeat cipher. I might have to get one. I think I might have to get one and wear a dilly dilly holiday sweater here on the Fantasy Freestyle. If you like that idea, let me know. Let me know which dilly dilly ugly holiday sweater you want me to buy, and then maybe I'll raise a little go fund me campaign with the hashtag stats overbeat cipher and

we'll get that going. But let's get to the stats over beat cipher right now on the phones, and we start off with VJ in Houston down in h Town. You're on the stats over beat Cipher on the fantasy freestyle with speeds. How can we help you get a W in lucky week? What's going on? Man? Not that much? Man, listen to the show. I'm in four leagues, three in playoffs because he always advice. Yo, I appreciate that. Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going and get that

bad Let's last team. I'm on the I'm on the brink of making playoffs. I really have to win this week. Playoffs start next week at a half point PPR twelve Personal League. Now I have a flex option, Jermaine Curse or Cordell Patterson one of those guts to go in and then running back. I gotta pick two of these three, Joe Mix and Isaiah crow Well and Derrick Henry. Okay, fair enough, let's talk wide receivers first, VJ. I like UM. I like Curse this week against the Chiefs. I really

do like Curse this week against the Chiefs. UM. I think Josh McCown is gonna find Jermaine Curse and Robby Anderson. I think this passing attack is actually getting a little bit better, and the Chiefs passing defense is no so good. I like Jermaine Kurts because when it looks to Oakland, I understand the Cordorrell Patterson idea. I actually think it's gonna be Seth Roberts. I actually think it's gonna be Jared Cook, and I think it's gonna be Marshawn Lynch

that carry the Raiders to victory. So're gonna Jermaine Kurts there on the other side. On the running backs, VJ, it was mixing crow Well and who else? And then I have on my bench Derrick Henry and Jakeith Rogers. Right now I'm starting mixing crow l but I have the option of Henry. I would I put in Henry over crow Well. I like Henry. I don't know if you heard Mike mclarkey this week, he said that he

thinks he has two starters. And if you listen to the show all the time, J, you know, I have for a while been thinking that Henry is ascending and DeMarco Murray is descending, and he's the aging running back that's banged up all the time. And uh, I like this matchup. Also for the Tennessee Titans, um I against Houston. I UM I would go Henry in for crow Well, I would go Henry and for co Well because think

about it. Also, you think Cleveland's probably gonna be down right, and when they're down in games, it's Duke Johnson that's on the field for them, not Isaiah crow Well. So I would go with Mixing and Derrick Henry. I hope it works out for you. VJ. Let's get four for four. Thanks for the kind words about speeds and everybody out there on the Fantasy Sports Network. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle is Johnny and shy Town. We're going to the Windy City for the statue will beat Cipher. What's

going on, Johnny? Are you feeling? Let's get you with W all right? So I gotta flicks. But and I'm really struggling with this one. And I made the mistake of asking too many people. You're getting every answer, so that just clouds that. Yeah, so I'm probably just gonna give you another answer and just cloud it all up. But what do we got? Yeah? But you're you're good? Thank you? Mark Easley or Derrick McKinnon. Is this PPR standard PR? All right? I don't know how many of

your people are saying one or the other. But my position on this is fairly strong. I gotta tell you, I like Jerrick McKinnon. I like Eric McKinnon in this matchup, um because of a couple of reasons. One, it's PPR right, so UM. I believe a couple of things about these games. I believe that the Vikings Falcons game is gonna be one of the more competitive games that the Vikings have

been in in the last month or so. And the Vikings have been up big in games, and that's why let Tavis Murray has been getting the production instead of Jack McKinnon. But I think there's gonna be a more competitive game, and I think McKinnon sees more snaps. I think McKinnon goes back to being a productive running back for the Minnesota Vikings. On the flip side, as it relates to Mark's Lee, the Jaguars have the Indianapolis Colts. This is it comes down to game script again in

this one. All right there, Johnny. I think that this is a game that the Jaguars are gonna ride Leonard Fournette. Remember, they don't actually want Blake Bordles trying to win games for them. What they want to do is get up early, ride that defense, and then ride that running game and shut it down. And I don't think Mark's lee. Like Mark eas Lee had a like three weeks stretch in

there where he was doing really big things. But let me remind you, Johnny, that was when like Leonard Fournette was hurt or suspe Ben did for missing the team picture and stuff like that. So give me Jerick McKinnon. I hope it doesn't just further muddle the picture for you, Johnny, And thanks for the kind words. I hope it works out for you to get up into the playoffs or whatever positioning you need. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, a true friend of the show, Deli Dilly, we go

to Pete and Shallon. Hey, Pete, which ugly do you think that I should get one of those? A dilly dilly ugly holiday sweater? What do you think, Pete? Hey, Dilly Dilley, my friend. No, actually, I don't think I'm gonna get sweaters. You remember when I said, to the end of the night, do you think that gonna throw Alfred marsh Bone? Yeah, he did it. You did. Good for you and a tug Good for you, Pete. I like that what happened. He's a he's a product of the game script. You know, they were up, so they

were able to go Alfred Morris. And that's the same thing I just told this last call with Jack McKinnon versus Latin Murray, the same thing I told somebody else with Crow l versus Duke Johnson. You know, everyone thought Mitt Washington was gonna get up on them, but no, Dallas got up on them. So they were able to do what they want to do, what they usually do with Zeke Elliott. They don't you know, that turns Deck, That turns Dak into a more efficient passer, so he

didn't turn it over anymore. They're not they make They want Dak Prescott to be a game manager. They don't want the game to be on Dack's arm. When it was the last few weeks he turned the ball over eight times in three games. They were able to do it the way they wanted. I'm so glad, Pete that you had halfed more because I was not high on him. I'm glad you put him in your lineup, keep it moving.

What else can we do? Pete Justice feeling okay? Now, I gotta I gotta a flyer Here just a thought, what do you think about Terrell Williams this week as a wide receiver too? Because Mike Williams is out but charges, what do you think about him as a little bit of a sleeper? And also what do you think about the alleys Ary Jones Aaron Um, I think that they're decent if you want to stash the Arrands in Green Bay for you know, weeks fifteen or sixteen, but obviously

they're not playing right now. As it relates to Tyrolle Williams though, Pete Um, that's not a play I would do personally, Okay. I hear you that there's no Mike Williams, but there is still Travis Benjamin Keenan Allen has been a man child lately. And here's the other thing. Yeah, a lot of mouse of feeds. You know my feelings on the Fantasy Herd, and don't forget about Hunter Henry either, okay.

And also the Charges could be up big on the Browns, you know what I mean, and that means Melvin Gordon. So I would go away from Tyroll Williams, but I understand your thinking. Pete, holler at me on Sunday when we're doing lineup block live or next week when you're in the playoffs and we can keep on getting you a title. Alright, Pete, thanks for the call. But I picked up Quiz, pop Quiz, Jocquiz. Let's see what he does. I like him this week in that spot for Doug Martin.

Remember pop Quiz was just fine the first couple of weeks of the season. We'll see if you could do it again against Green Bay. Dilly Dilly, as always, have a great weekend. Right up next on the Fantasy Freestyle is Derek. We go to the West Coast in California. Derek, you're on the stats over beat Cipher with speeds. How can we help you get a w's what's the man? I'm doing? All right? I'm a I'm a pr like that. Yeah,

I play with the men. That's what's up. I'm in I'm in second place and I have a shot at first. But I gotta win this week, I win next week. All right. So this week my my dilemma is Derek Carr or Tyrod Taylor. And for running back, is it Marshawn or Joe Mixon? All right? Um, so here's what I do in this situation. Although I'm gonna tell you right now that I understand going the opposite way. But if you want my advice and you're called in, you're gonna get my advice. Derek on the quarterback, I like

Tyrod Taylor. I love t Mobile. I know the Patriots defense has gotten much better lately. But remember the theme of what I'm talking about his game script, the deme of what I'm talking about his game script here for you, Derek, and let me tell you something. I think the Bills are gonna be down to New England. I think they're gonna have to throw. I like the rushing potential of

Tyrod Taylor as well. However, in Oakland, I think that the Raiders are gonna be up on the Giants, so that means less passing car doesn't have its familiar options. I think that the Raiders are gonna be able to try to grind out that wind with Marshawn Lynch. So for you, I'm going Tyrod and I'm going Marshawn Lynch. I hope it works out for you, Derek. I like that you're playing in the Big Boy League. When we come back, we got one more caller. I see you,

Kenny out there and be more. We're gonna answer your questions. Then we're gonna also talk to my man Danny down there and see what's up in the YouTube stream, get some questions there, and see what you guys are saying on the polls as well. All that and more as we go to the weekend on the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network See Freestyle. Buffalo Bills are getting eight and a half to the Patriots at home. I think you lay these points. I think the Pats

are on full on you mode right now. I think they brow by. I don't know how Buffalo scores that much. Pyrod Taylor is on his last legs up there in Buffalo, you know, after a hot started sort of unraveling for the Bills. I think the Patriots win this game going away. I think they could win this game by double digits.

Call it a thirty one seventeen kind of game. I would lay the points and still take New England week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dane Martinez a k A. Speeds a k. A to Spin statistician helping you out. For week thirteen, we got one more caller to get to here at the end of the show,

it is Kenny in Baltimore. Anytime I hear about Baltimore, I think about my favorite TV show of all time, The Wire. Kenny, if you're a Wire fan, were you more of an Omar guy on, Marl Stanfield guy and Avon Barksdale guy? A proposition joke kind of guy? Or do you not know what I'm talking about? What's up? Kenny? Of course? Hey? First off, speed thanks for having me. Of course, of course I know about the y man like I always like because he was a true gangster. Right,

here's a true gangster. Yeah, Stringer Pell was trying to be a businessman. Meanwhile Avon was just like a hardcore, actual gangster. I agree with you, I agree with you. I will say this though, my two favorite characters from that show definitely Omar Omar Coming and also Bubbles Man. You're Bubbles. You gotta love Bubbles, right, But how can I help you get a w character you could root for in that show? I like, yeah, no doubt, no doubt,

I got you. So give me a proposition Kenny right now for week thirteen, and I'll give you what I think. All right, come on, all right, I got a ten man headpoint pp all lead. Uh six side of the ten team is the all seven and five. So let's cunch. Let's get a w and I gotta I got a flex question. All right, let's have a good night. Man. I got a flex question. I got two spots available. I got um. Well, first, I'm excuse me. I need a running back and a flext on my bench. I

got Kareem Hunt. I benched him, Michael Thomas, Jack McKinnon, Rex Birkhead on I got. I need a running back, one running back and one flex out of over all. Right, fair enough, I'm not going Michael Thomas, and that might surprise you. I'm picking out of these running backs, okay, because it's half point PPR. I like Burkehead and I like McKinnon. I like Burkin and I like McKinnon mostly because of the PPR stuff I do. How I will say this also, Kenny, I think they hate on Kareem

Hunt may have gone a little bit too far. You may have heard earlier in the show I got Christy Analyst Venture has Kareem Hunt in his DFS lineup. I could see a bounce back out of Kareem Hunt. I know, I know, I know because he was popping off at the beginning of the season. So if you're off kore run and like you know, you have like PTSD, you know,

post traumatic on him, then I'm going McKinnon. I'm going McKinnon because I think he's gonna be more viable than Latin Murray, because I think that game is going to be closer against Atlanta. And then I also like Rex Burkhead because I think he is the past catching back. I think the Patriots work him into the end zone and that's a nice thing. Sack, yeah, do that, then load up on those paths. I think they score a boatload of points against the Bills. I'll go Burkhead and McKinnon.

Omar coming and remember when you come at the King, your best, not miss Kenny. All right, check it out, You'll have a great week, my man. Alright hashtag no um, we got this whole question up, and right now you think that the Jets can win outright at home against the Chiefs. Remember, though I've said it, I'm thinking this is the week the Chiefs come a little bit back. I think they have pride. I've think they see that their lead in the a f C West is shrinking.

The charges in the Raiders are not only one game back. Remember, the Chiefs have also been in this building a couple of weeks ago when they played the Giants. I something inside tells me that there is a bounce back coming from the Kansas City Chiefs. I understand, though, if people have been burned too many times, I think of these the best chance, believe it or not, as the Cardinals to win out right in a division game at home against the Rams. They real quick. We got my man

Danny down there in the fantasy pit of misery. Hey, what are the people on YouTube saying? Danny? We got any questions from the people. We do have questions. We got time for one of them. Let's get it all right. Freddy wants to know he's in a PPR. He said he can pick two of these guys. We got Hunt Williams and cmc uh definitely cmc um definitely, Christian McCaffrey and which Williams Jamal Williams, Jamal Williams. Listen if Aaron Jones is playing as well then I'm off Jamal Williams.

But if Jamal Williams is the only guy left, then yeah, then it's Jamal Williams and CMC. Thanks for the question, Anythanks to everybody out there on YouTube, everybody following, everybody tweeting, everybody liking. You know, I love the stats. Over beat spher. Hit me up, but not on Sunday because I won't respond. If you want to, hit me up now and give me the settings and I'll help you win that cash. Have a good weekend, Pace,
