Week 13 Diamonds and Fugazis, Gronk Injury, MLB CBA

at the fantasy free step. You win championships with that fantasy free stop. You know what it is, Dropping stats over beats, It's the fantasy free style. Rocks and Speeds in the place to be here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You after that turkey, after that stuff, and we're ready for the home stretch of football. It's playoff time. Rocks say what's up to the people? Yo, it's your boy, Rocks. One young fist full of rings coming back from the tropics.

These rings have tan rings. It's gonna be a couple of weeks and you will know whether or not you won your league championship. But this is the last week for most teams of the regular season, and that means it's time for us to give you what you need to win your league and win that catch rocks where

you want to start off. And I think the biggest absolute injury that we got to tell people about and talk about is this Rob Gronkowski, right, I mean, like he's probably leading teams to the fantasy playoffs, leading the Patriots to the real playoffs, and he's gonna be gone unless the Patriots make the super Bowl. His year is done.

And that's and that's terrible for a player who struggled to stay healthy this year but completely dominated when he has been healthy on a Patriots scene that really looks like they were just kind of kind of coast most likely to the super Bowl. Obviously, the Patriots themselves are the biggest losers here, but if you had Gronkowski, it's got to be crushing for you. And honestly, to a lesser extent, if you were relying upon Tom Brady, that

is knocking him down. That's cutting his side off. You know, absolutely not only is he cutting his upside off, but if you listen to Speedes, this bitting statistician on shot callers on the Fantasy Sports Trader, your network you would know that. I think Tom Brady and the Patriots era is done. I think they do not make it to the Super Bowl this year, especially with this ground news. I think one of these edge rushers in the a f C in a playoff game is going to do

damage against Tom Brady and thus the dynasty. You see him gimpy on this need. It is something that we have not seen. This guy is thirty nine years old. Remember he was not throwing the ball deep anyway. All the Patriots production goes to tight ends and running backs,

why because he's not going outside. And speaking of that, I do think the biggest beneficiaries of the Gronk injury, you know, outside of Bennett, which is pretty obvious, are Edelman, who has already been a target hog blessed four or five weeks and the tag it agg He's getting a bump right back up in such a tagg it at wide receiver to the real gritty, the gritty wide receivers.

And I would also say that now just on the strength of volume in PPR leagues, he's act on that wide receiver one conversation on a week's week basis and also perfect timing for Dion Lewis hard just as I like that to overtake James White as the primary passing down. You know, he's gonna be getting, He's gonna be still, he said. I also do think though, it's gonna be interesting to see what they do down the field with with Chris Holey on network, and I even got Malcolm Mitchell,

rookie Malcolm Mitchell, he's coming off. You know what I actually could see them going to is having James White and Dion Lewis on the field at the same time. You know, they were talking about these two tight end sets. What about Belichick flipping at going to wide outsets. I think in PPR leagues, both Dion Lewis and James White may carry value moving forward as a strong vote tape. What I will say is that you definitely know that if anyone could make it work, it's gonna be Bill Belichen. Yeah.

I want to move on to another big injury that I want to highlight real quickly. You know, we talk about different things, you know on the Fantasy Freestyle, you're on the Fantasy sports radio networks, even our old school listeners. You know that Speeds has always been talking about the cornerbacks okay, and there was a big corner back injury that I want to talk about. Desmond true Font is out for the rest of the year. Petatoral muscle. Okay.

That meeting to set right, it sure is, and that means these wide receivers that are going up against the Atlanta Falcons moving forward and they get an interesting matchup. It's not like the Falcons defense was anything to write home against in the first place. Now when you have wide receivers going into that dome hid in December and without that number one cornerback, the first team that does it this week is the Kansas City Chiefs are returning

Jeremy Macklin. I think this week Tyree Kill might actually be a little bit of a full gazzy. When you chase the point rocks, that's when the points start running. But think about it as we go on at the end of the receiason watch wide receivers against Atlanta getting a boost from what was the norm so far, which you fought out, you know, and speaking the true Font you know, which is obviously going to be impacted those of you who play I t P. You know that.

Now what we're focused on here at the fantasy freestyle. But there are some guys, whether through injury or potentially through opportunity, that can really prove to be difference makers from now through the end of your season. Ros you like in that kind of situation, because I gotta tell

them about on my back half of the roster. After that, Yeah, I was just saying this is this is me looking for lottery tickets, looking to say, I gotta shore up some things if I'm an owner, and if I'm not an owner, I'm going to speculate on a player that I may actually start as a playoff caliber team. The first one is for me, Andre Ellington's only owned in

three personnelities is clearly the back to own. If David Johnson goes down, and you've seen how much Carson Palmer has come to a lot on David Johnson, who is an incredible receiving back out of the backfield. Ellington, however, and that's something that he excels in operating in space and honestly also running against the software. So you're gonna see on third and twenty two when your quarterback is constantly getting sacked and put into teams in terrible position.

I think the running back position in Arizona will carry value even with a backup, and if I could grab Andre Ellington, I would certainly do it. Right now, is David Johnson owner and as a speculative player who maybe is a little weak and there are B two or flex, he's someone who could truly make difference down the stretch, more so than whatever sort of wide receiver six you're carrying you for no reason. You know, I understand that.

Rocks and checked the style many times on the Fantasy Freestyle. What we do is we don't just give you a fish. We teach you how to fish. This is gonna be one of those situations right here where you need to listen to speed that fitting statistician um at this point of the season. Okay, what Ross is talking about with your wide receiver six which are before, it does not matter who those players are. If you are a playoff team,

those people are not going to start for you. What you need to do, like Rocks just said, with a guy like Andre Ellington this way, if something happens, you have prime opportunity. That's the best you're gonna do in this in this one of the season. And to be quite honest, I think you need to do that my stacking, you know, guys, you have and making sure you handcuff your studs. Here's the perfect example. Rocks mentioned Ellington before

do you believe can you believe this? Rocks Rocks, Who would you say is the best offensive line in the National Football League? I would say it's pretty clear, I think, and also consensus said is the Dallas Countless Go and check it out. We know Zeke Elliott has been absolutely ridiculous leading the NFL and rushing right. But um, Alfred Morris is twelve percent owned. If Ezekiel Elliott is owned in a hundred percent of leagues, Alfred Morris should be

owned in a hundred percent of leagues. Tim high Tower owned intent of leagues, Mike Gillisle owned in fiftcent of leagues. If you own these stud backs, if you own to Marco Murray, if you own Lashawn McCoy, you must own these backups. And here's another situation. One more I'll give you Rocks. This is a situation where there has just been a very interesting piece of role clarity, and that is the Oakland Raiders. I've been talking all year long,

Holatavius Murrays and Mini Blah blah blah. Latavius Murray has taken over and it is the man. He's no longer only touched own the bend. However, what also happened recently? DeAndre Washington healthy scratch, that's okay. That means Jalen Richard is the back to own in this scenario. Okay, you can get him in a lot of leads. I like that. I like the same thing this is. This is the way you need to think to make sure that when you can have your best possible line up out there

in the playoffs. And I would just say, right along those same lines, if we forget the future, we are doomed to repeat it. De'angelo Williams. I understand he was, he was injured for a while. He has only owned in twenty two percent in me is healthy again? Do you not see this movie last year? Any running back for really one with a large workload, susceptible to injury. He's also not shown the best. You're susceptible to smoking blunts too, I would say, I mean again owned. And

this is also not a complete lottery ticket. This is someone you know who will produce as a high end RB one whenever he's given an opportunity to start. There's no excuse to see that guy on the wire. There is no reason right now that you should have Terence West Isaiah Crowell. If these guys are on your bench, they are not going to start in that playoff week.

You know who might Derrick Henry. Okay, what happens if Tomorroco Murray already battling a toe injury, can't go in week fifteen, and then you have Derrick Henry as opposed to having, you know, Isaiah Crowell for McKinnon. You know where someone like that who is not going to be your starter in the playoffs when you need it. This is Feeds Hayrier telling you what you need to do

to win your league and win the at cash. Speaking of that, I'm gonna give you one more And this is again, this is a mantra of us here on the Fantasy Freestyle is to know your settings. If you're sitting there within I R spot and you're in the one of fifty percent of leagues where Adrian Peterson is unowned, can you're just wasting in I R spot? Adrian Peterson speeds owned only in forty eight percent of class. He's out there on i R. A lot of leagues do

have that spot to free spot. Who has more our side? Who has more upside that you have on your IR than Adrian Peters? Nobody, I would say one other guy that I are Shane Vereene. Watch off for Shane Vereene practicing again. If on that i R and he's been dead return read against that pass catching roll again, watch that. That can be a very interesting weapon in PPR leagues down the stretch as well. But you don't check it

out a box of folks. If people have been listening to their Fantasy Freestyle, they know that we do that. Bo Jackson, Dion Sanders, riff Raff, and we have a deal major League Baseball play. Here's the association the right have agreed to. You know, we're not going to have a work stoppage, which is great after that, you know, funded in something near World Series, curse lifted and whatnot.

It's great to see that. And there's a couple of issues in this new collective bargaining agreement that maybe we should bring down for the people for the listeners here on Fantasy Freestyle and Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, definitely, And I mean to me it's interesting that baseball has gone now. I believe it is twenty before worktopage ninety four, so twenty two years, which is it's incredible on that

time labor piece. It's also again it's also interesting to see how, you know, at least when you're generating hundreds of millions of dollars work into games, m maybe a rising tide and kind of lift all ball. What I will say is that one of the things that we've talked about it and you know, the grand scheme of things, in the minutia of it all, uh, it's a pretty minor thing. But I would say that I was really

interested at the All Star Game. Now is no longer going to determine home field advantage in the World Series. That is a good thing, but rocks, what's it gonna be? Yeah, this time it counts, This time it counts. No, I think what should actually count as the regular season games that count, and it's gonna be the team for the best record going head to hit the World Series that's going to check out change And I think that that's not an insignificant thing. Though honestly, the a L won this.

This stupid system was only in place since two thousand and three and during that during that time, the a L won eleven of fourteen All Star Games, you know, so that gave them a big advantage at home field manage eight more times. And the team with home field advantage went nine and five in the World Series. And that's that's obviously that's not statistically valid, but you know, anecdotally, examplestally, that is all the evidence any that that's stupid. But

check this out, Rocks. If people are listening to their fantasy freestyle, they remember we're doing that baseball. We were big in the All Star Game talking about that skills

compensation made, So check this out. Let's say home field advent image is not based on who wins the All Star Game, right, but you know, like let's say a home run hitter like Chris Bryant verse Mike Napoli, straight up home run derby, whoever wins that gets home field in the World Series this year, they like call their best dude out that can hit the home run, that can make the throw, that can run the base, that

can drove them bat. It's an interesting concept skills and I think you would really see like good teams whoever legitim mention at the World Series, like acquiring the likes of guys like Billy Hamilton's before we have to do you have to do that. But we're in position to win. We need Billy Hamilton's just so we can get home field advantage in the World Series. Certainly, it's certainly interesting. A sweets. I'll say you the first real quick before

we before I move on and pay some bills. The first the first bat that I actually ever made in Vaga Series online. Really, yeah, that's crazy. I hope you picked Kara Griffy jun here. You know, I was not out in days as he guys said, yes at you they was was it was a bad on. I think it was standing and I didn't win it all and uh and they say one more thing from this new collective bargaining. I mean, I don't know if you saw this rock. That's when we do a fantasy freestyle droping

stats or beats. There's changed the disabled list now again Canna be able, No no, no, they're taking it and I'm serious, they're taking it down from a fifteen day deal to eight ten day. Okay, think about that that I did not add some fantasy lineups you know, you can hold on to somebody a little bit longer, think about them. Sometimes they delay putting the guy on, and it's retroactive. I think it might reduce some of that

that it's not such a big thing. When I feel about that ideal, I'm just going wait beyond that, I don't even really you know, I think it's it's a good thing. It allows for more flexibility. What I will say though, is that it'll be really interesting. You'll see how many guys wind up with the minimum sticks, you know, I think that will that will really really get to a point We're having a potentially impact player will disabled and obviously be unable to participate and help your team.

How do you wait that against rocks and roster flexibility When you see that five day difference, to me, that's gonna be the most interesting. They do also have the concussion de Yell which was seven. That is that still. I don't know about chat. We'll see, but obviously Roson speed both Yankee fans. So the fact that we move north a hundred eighty nine million right about the good time when we got some other people coming off the books. It could be a very interesting future for the yankster.

They're about to start to be able to throw that money around, you know. And Clebra Torre's just my man, just one in the of the al only nineteen, you know, luxury tax change, no international draft skies, don't don't take this away for me, you know, check it out when we come back roxon Spies, we're gonna be doing everything we can to tell you everything you need. In week thirteen, Who Sit? Who Started? Who Fade? That good DNFs value.

We're gonna give you our spotlight games, and then a little bit later on we're gonna get into our flagship segments are game Flow Geniuses, Diamond in the Rough and who Gay Easies funk about It? You know. This is Rocks of the Speeds, Fantasy Freestyle and Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I want winners. I want people that want to win.

I would rather play with ten people and just get penalized all the way until we gotta do something else, rather than play with the leven when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team. H you already know Rocks and the Speeds in the building. We're dropping stats over leats. It's the Fantasy freestyle. You know on the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. Your Week thirteen is a very important week, So Rocks and Speeds are here to hold you down with a couple of spotlight games that we're gonna give you an interesting take on, so you know who to sit and to start to be really focused on in this very very critical week. First game we're gonna go into, it's the Kansas City Chiefs. They're in traveling to Atlanta to the eyg on the Falcons and Falcons are They're definitely the NFC South. They are they are, that is true.

They are also three and a half play favorites against the Chiefs in this game. You're Rocks on the Kansas City side of things. Jeremy Macklin maybe coming back. How would you think that would impact the Kansas City Chiefs on this one? You know, I mean, I think that Alex Smith really hasn't been that great lately. I think also though the Atlanta defense has been to get right defense for passing games. You know, I think, as you said, Desmond Truefont is out, so that's obviously gonna freeze some

things up. The biggest, real, the biggest thing you're gonna see is Kelsey, who is two yard games in a row. He's never really been a guy to string together those consistent games. How does he factor in with that Tyreek Hill, which I know you want to talk about, and uh and the Jeremy Macklin is coming back, but who knows how healthy he's gonna be. Worthy He's going to be a decoy against some of those second string cornerbacks for sure, for sure, for sure. I think this is a very

interesting game. On one side, you have strength on strength and on one side you have weakness on weakness. Right, Like this Atlanta offense number one in the NFL, scoring three two points a game, right, But that Kansas City Chiefs defense has been strong with the return of Tambahali and Justin Houson. Now on the other side of things, that plan of defense, as we've been talking about, is nothing to write home about. But this Kansas City Chiefs

offense is not gonna really press the issue much at all. So, like, would they be able to take some shots? Will they try to extend the field? You know, Tyree Hill as the ability to go over the top, or they can try to create some things for him, But I don't know. I think what's gonna wind up happening here is the Kansas City Defense is gonna do a decent job limiting the falcons, and this is gonna be a lower scoring

game than most people have said. Interesting though, on the Atlantic side of things, I know Tyler Gabriel as someone you know, you shouted out and you think he popped off. You think he's gonna be able to continue being an option from Mattie Ryan in the past. Again, Well, what I will say, building right off the segment that that we can we finished up right before break, is that I do think that he is one of those guys that has the potential to be a lottery ticket that

pays off. Obviously, the production is unsustainable based on the touches. He's averaging like four or five or six touches over the last three weeks, and they get touched down every two touches, Like that's obviously unsustainable. However, you know, if they said that Christine Michael like he was shot out of a cannon, Tyler Gabriel looks like he was launched from from from up, from up, from up, from a scut missile from a ship in the middle of the ocean.

A naval carrier, like, my man looks crazy. I told you last week at the bar, you were like, yo, how long was the touchdown? I was like, I don't know, but he was running much faster than you normally see a guy. And they have that again, those next gen and stats now he was running nineteen twenty miles now and they got computer chips in your shoulder pads. Those

are those next gen and stacks. And Tyler gabrielle and whether he does it this week or not, I think, you know, Mohammedson who is not proven to be a credible Nuvember two option. They've never really replaced Roddy White and uh and uh Antony Gonzalez in that offense, So I think Tyler gabriel could be a big play threat. I also really think that your boy Tevin Coleman, not not Temmy Campbell, is gonna be big in this game.

He apparently has got a little pep in his step. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure as he comes back from that hamstring injury, getting more and more opportunity now that he's feeling better with his legs under HI map for that first game. This game, we want to go to the Denver Broncos. They will travel to the two and nine Jacksonville Jaguars. Interestingly enough, uh, the Jaguars have won three of the last four against the Broncos. And I'm gonna tell you this.

You know, this is speed spin statistision calling his shot like I do want shot callers every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from seven to eight DM Eastern Time on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. This game is my Week thirteen track game. I said it before and I'll say it again. Remember early in the season when the Seahawks and Cardinals played five quarters to a tie and it was a tough divisional matchup, and then I faded both of those teams the next week. The Denver Broncos are in the

same exact situation. This week, they played what amounts to a five quarter game that was a tough, physical game against the Kansas City Chiefs. They are now traveling west to east to play the Jacksonville Jaguars on a one o'clock game. Trevor Sidey in their quarterback missing Mr Timperland week. I'm telling you they were talking about if you saw their last game to Denver Broncos. They were also um talking a lot of smack about how DeVante Booker has

not been breaking tackles. Sure, you have the wide receivers on the outside. Call it a hunch from speed to spitting statistician, but I don't like a lot of things lining up. I think this is a trap game, uh for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and in that game for this to come in true because I trust in the Denver defense.

I think your basement bottom defensive play at only four thousand dollars, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense, it's someone that you can actually roll out there this week at the very bottom, the lowest possible value. I'm telling you, Simeon may not play. This team is banged up after a five quarter game. Their backfield, there's nothing to write home about. The Jaguars defense has actually been decent. That's my trap game pick for you in week thirteen, and it comes from this game. Roxy.

You might see it differently, but let me know what you feel. Yeah, No, I mean I honestly think that I think you're right that the offense may sputter, particularly if you on the Paxton Lynch with all that swagger starts this week, which is looking increasingly likely. You don't want your quarterback where Tim is on Thursday. We don't want your quarterbacks where teams on Friday. No, no, no, no, I'm in those books. No, man, you want those cleats

on them. So yeah, But I do think also that Jacksonville's defense is improved, not that you know, the offense has been terrible. We both talked a lot about this offseason how we expected the offense to regress. It was largely because we didn't think there was gonna be as much garbage time. Turns out there's basically even more garbage time, and it's because the offense is so bad. And ya, honestly, we talked about it a little bit before. Mark ease Lee,

a guy that's entered us his third is third. As a prodssing Alan hearns someone who may be in the midst of third game in a row with a touchdown in the midst of in the midst of all of this negativity surrounding Blake Bortles in Jacksonville offense, this may be the time to buy super low on him. In a dynasty like as who may be the long term compliment to a R fifteen who I still think is an elite receiver in this league. Rock, let's keep it moving.

You know where the Houston Texans they go to the what is it like freezing tundra, lambo fields in the freezing tundra like that? Like Texans go up there with what I believe is a seventy two million dollar noose around their franchise, and Rocks Wilder provocat provocat of black. I have been saying it. Especially anchor, anchor. I'm saying, anchor around there ship, especially with this new administration, right yeah,

and anchor around this ship. Um with yo. Here's the thing, though, this Green Bay Pass defense has, like you like to say, guys from off the street playing in the secondary. So Ken Brock finally deliver. I would say, if ever, this might be a week to roll out DeAndre Hopkins as a real wide out two maybe I guess I'll give him three, all right, So let's say like this, then, Rocks, this sounds like a gentleman's bad. I think this is the week when DeAndre Hopkins actually produces, because that Green

Bay secondary is so bad. You're saying to I know, I know, I know that Brock hospin that's wide receiver. Two nights and it's at our auto fade the Texans. But you know what, I think there's one more time for de Hoops against this bad secondary. He's gonna be able to pop off for a big one in a touchdown. I will take DeAndre Hopkins in week thirteen will be

a top receiver, top twenty four five. That's why twelve and a half twelve and a half team leagues in next week, listen to the pop bangs, you know, I mean, I gotta say, and I think you know, we spelled it for the people, and as it was spelled for us, what is it amer the l A X relax. We were told this by Aaron Rodgers would honestly, it seemed like he was in the midst of a career decline. And that was not Hyperbolely, that was not an Overreactually, it just kind of it passed the eye test, and

it also conveniently passed the narrative football. And now don't look now, but Aaron Rodgers is the to be one overall. He's also back to his old tricks of sustaining not one, but two wide receiver ones. You've got young Jordy Nelson coming back off that knee surgery, the wide receiver six or Adams I would call the old man Davante, just sticking with the sticking with the funny nicknames. He's actually

the wide receiver of eleven overall. Right now, that is absolutely crazy somehow, with the old running game, with the team seemingly falling apart of the seatings, Karen Rodgers is in the demand of probably the best passing offense moving forward, maybe at least until that Tundra friezes completely a little bit. But Average has They've been using that short passing game. Average is getting the ball out of his hands incredibly quickly and trusting his wide receivers to make some plays.

Your Rocks, we got one more game to talk to them about here on the Fantasy Freestyles we dropped Statill would be the Buffalo Bills, and don't now the Buffalo Bills were about five hundred six and five. They go to open with the Vaders at ninman too, especially with this news about Rock and the Patriots, they have an opportunity to see these home field that vantage in the a f C. This is the game that a contender like the Oakland Raiders and Figure has to win, right

You know you would certainly hope that way. And again we talk about those long distances being traveled east coast all the way to the west coast, perhaps a little bit easier. It still feels like better have time. But you know, I feel also this is around the time here the Buffalo's gotta prefer to be playing those games in the unfriendly confines of the Rouph or whatever they call it these days. But I will say also, though it's Derek carry, you rarely see an injury so clearly

as you did. Those that located that was pretty bad. He had a caught up under center and snapped it right away. He knew it. Randolph Field dislocated in places. You know. Derek Carr, though I gotta say now, obviously spoken, he spoken about his candid He's also someone who came in his rookie year and he didn't make a lot of the noise that some of these other rookies are making.

Maybe it's cousin the years he came out with guys like Manzel who maybe a little flash here, But what he didn't do was to make a ton of his fakes. And I would also argue from a long term perspective, it's not the flashing plays. It's not the huge stats, it's the ability to not lose games for your team. That's really the most valuable thing that the working quarterback show. And they've got the skill set and the supporting cast in the way of Amari Cooper and Michael Crabstury around him.

You can see, really it's been great to watch Derek Carr and I think they should be able to smoke the Bills this week. I don't see it as being a traction. Gave no doubt see as being a clap game. But take those figures together for really check this out. Earlier in the week, I actually was really high on

Sammy Watkins. I thought this was a game because, you know, if he got out of that first game where he had three catches in eighty yards and his returned, I felt that this was going to be a game that he's increased snaps. But then we heard later in the week that he was sore. It's the same whole story with Sammy Watkins. So you know, I am not as

high as Sammy Watkins. I was going to give him out in my DFS lineup, but no, no, no. Even getting these bad Oakland Raiders past defense and the other thing I'll say on the other side of the ball. Remember we told you at the beginning of the show that um, these guys have decided that DeAndre Washington is not long for this backfield. That means Jalen Richard is the handcuff to own here in Oakland and someone who

may see some third down passing work. I think he's an interesting stash and an interesting play on the Los Angeles Raiders. Remember when I told you that we had only one more game to talk about. I lied, We're gonna squeeze in one more of the Lions feeds. Yeahs the Washington football team. They'll go to Arizona and what I think is an interesting game with two teams that both have a tie on their on their record, but that tie did not come against each other. How do

you see this game playing? I think Kirk Cousins can continue his run of being a solid fantasy quarterback coming up four hundred and forty nine yards on Thanksgiving evening. I don't think you're gonna see any any numbers repeating like that at all. You know, Arizona is really there on the cost of having nothing to play for, and I think that they can't lose this news I gotta win this one from Bruce after he was a hospital.

They win this game. I mean, there's a lot of quarterbacks hopital as you saw Mike Zimmer, you know, I hope Mike Zimmer is getting better. I'd also just take that time to say, yo, a former former Jets, former US he started Joe McKnight murdered, murdered recently, hold your head, record your head, and hold your head rest in peace. I just wanted to say that real quick. Um, you know, I don't know, man, I think that Jordan Read not playing in this game, but most likely is really going

to be a big difference. You know, he was really he led to the Cousin's explosion. I called the family reunion Cousins explodes. Um, you know. But I also think that Arizona, you know, John Brown seeming like he might play Michael Floyd's seeming like he might play figure the mix and match in those options, Palmer has been a shell of his former self, feeling pressure. That's not really

They're still from a fantasy perspective. He's maintained borderline to be one could be to value on the strength of volume. Might you he'll be able to do it again this week. But again, David Johnson, na's who's gonna be getting all the work strong play in all fourmats. It's crazy. At the beginning of the season we thought that there's a chance that all three Arizona wide receivers can get a thousand yards. Now you don't really want any of them.

I mean, Fitsy, you could obviously run out there, but the thing is, the touchdowns aren't there. He has not scored a touchdowns since Week five, and he's been consistently putting up you know, five or seven the account of lines that might get you there, but it's not gonna win you your league and win you that cash. That

has been all David Johnson. Remember though, on the on the on the Washington side, when we come back and do our flagship segment, you might hear Speeds and spitting statistician taunt Rocks with a couple of tight ends, and one of them may come from this game. Yo. That's what we're going to do after this break, Yo, it's Rocks and Speeds dropping stats over beats. We're gonna come

back with our flagship segments for week three. The Diamonds in the rough, the game flow geniuses, and then Fantasy Jazy forget about it, yo, keep come on back Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We thirteen year. Hello. You play to win the game. You don't play the chips play it. That's a fool reazy. How do you know what's to food gazing? You look at different coop seconds, it should favor I know what the foo gation, you know what it is. We back rocks and speeds, Fantasy

Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're dropping stats over beats and giving you everything you need to win your league and win that cash. Yo. If you're a fan of the Fantasy Freestyle for a minute, you know that we got our flagship segments. That's when we do our game flow geniuses. The way we think the game flow in that game trip is gonna be in favor of your player, the preople that we're gonna shout out

here on week thirteen. Then later on we're gonna give you those diamonds and the rough go reel digging minds. Tell you when you be take a deep look what it looks like. When it looks good, it's a diamond in the rough. When we take a nice little look like down the Jeweler from Mulberry Street and Lefty and they know that, then it's a fantasy. He forgot about it, all right, So we're gonna give you all. We're gonna

start off with our game flow genius and Rocks. Why don't you let the people know about the game flow genius and who you got Week thirteen, people are relying on you, Rocks. My first game flow genius is La Garrett Blond. I've got a pretty basic formula when I come to making these decisions as to the players. I'm gonna throw off for you if the Paths are more than a two score favorite at home, and La Garrett Blunt looks reasonably priced to me, he is my game

flow genius. He certainly qualifies this week at sixty six hundred dollars on Fan Duel. While the Patriots will be playing a RAM scene that's been basically demoralized another drubbing last week on the road against the Saints in the Superdom to give up four me nine points. The last six of those trick playing Rams are unraveling. They're not even allowing Eric Dickerson on the sidelines and ticulous three thousands, three thousand for one start, you know, and again without

Rob Gronkowski. I still think the Patriots are going to handle them. And I think that Lea Garrett Blunt is gonna make Jeff Fisher know who's playing running back for the New England Patriots is apparently something he didn't even know talking about. He's preparing for Brandon and Danny superly talking about who or who they used to be, exactly right.

I mean, you better hope Brandy doesn't run wide open on a fly pattern, and I really think she's gonna do a lot better and finish well ahead of some of the fourteen running backs that are more expensive than him. This week, moving from a game, but I think it's going to be a beat down into a game into a game that I think is going to be a shootout. And this is really prototypical game flow genius, right because this is the highest total on the board. Three and

a half points is the over under. As the Detroit Lions go down to New Orleans inside the Dome and take on the New Orleans Saints. We talked about breezing the dome all the time. There's gonna be a lot of points scored in this one of both Rocks and Speeds definitely thinks so so Rocks, you can prick almost anybody in this game. Love the guy you like a game flow genius in this matchup, well as as someone

who watches the Saints pretty closely. I'm gonna go with Golden Tape on on fan duel, and uh, you know, he's exactly the type of receiver that's given the Saints problems all yere. He's able to get open, he's kind of pesky, and if given a little bit of space after the catch, he can basically turn a short crossing pattern or a screen into a big game. The Saints are not great open field tacklers. They've never ever ever shown the ability to allow guys like that to not

gain extra yards after the catch. I would also say that, you know, basically, the volume has always been there for Detroit, for for Detroits, for Detroit's passing offense. That's overall, and Golden Tate has been averaging about eight targets a game, eight or more over the last of the last four games. What do you say, Speeds, I'm calling my shot. Whatever, whatever is a little whatever is more reckless than that

I'm doing that. I just see Golden Tate getting like twenty two yards on an end around on a crucial third or fourth down. That is sold prediction. But either way, they're gonna be throwing as speeds. As you said, they're gonna be throwing all game on both sides. I know you also liked this game from some points. Who you got in this one? Yeah, my game flow genius, I'm staying in the same game. I like what Rocks is saying in terms of Golden Sate, especially the little rushing

threat that he threw out there. I'm gonna have a little feeling here in my game flow genius. Okay, here's the game strip that I like. Obviously, I think everybody can see that Detroit in New Orleans game in the super Dome with Stafford and Breeze. I like Stafford DFS play this week, probably getting the same kind of production in that shoot out that we all expect. But here are my two games flow genius is in this game.

But the other factor that I like to considers, what's easiest gist that is that she's saying to you right now, is that, uh, there are two guys in this game who did absolutely nothing last we week. There are two guys who got zero targets. Who's last week right? And as we know, sometimes these wide receivers, sometimes these even these tight ends, are a little bit diva ish and they talk a little bit and it becomes news stories.

And in that situation, I think you need to feed the beast and keep the people happy, and that's what usually happens. We saw this earlier this season with Odell Beckham, and I think we're going to see this in New Orleans when it comes to Brandon Cooks, Brandon Cooks is someone who was averaging almost a hundred yards of game in the Dome. Brandon Cooks is someone who had eleven touchdowns in his last ten games in the Dome. I don't think it's ever gonna be that Brandon Cooks is

gonna go two games getting shut out. They're gonna feed him early and often. He is going to be a major part of what they are trying to do. Put in Brandon Cooks this week. I oh, he burned you over the Thanksgiving holidays. He had some food coma related injury. I'm not sure what it was. Even though he was out there for forty nine of seventy four snaps. I know, I know, I know, but play Brandon Cooks this week home in the Dome against the bad Detroit Past defense.

On the Detroit side of things, I like their tight end. Eric Ebron yoke, Ronald Reagan no doubt, known doubt, former President of the United States. I don't know if there's gonna be any Trump football players anytime soon, but check it out. Um Roger, you remember talking about Golden Tate on the rushing threat they did. There was just like there was just a minute ago. So hopefully you remember it. Speeds has so little faith in, hopefully remembers it. Yo

tight ends. Maybe do an end around after sixty two. Yeah, man, jet sweets. We've seen Kobe Fleaner do it this year. It's crazy. We've seen Eric Ebron do it so this year. So he has a little bit. But he's another guy who on Thanksgiving Day got no production and that means he has the mini buy he had more time to recover. I like Detroit and this Jim Bob Cooter offense going into the Dome on extended rest. I like them, even they are a five point underdog going into the Dome.

I think the Saints are a team we have seen cough things up at the end of the year. The Detroit Lions all seven of their wins this season, the Detroit Lions were losing the game and the minute warning in all seven Stafford Hall of a minute warning. Give me those two kinds of teams at the end, and you give me five points. Give me Matthew Stafford at the end. I like Jim Bob Cooter and the Lions Week thirteen. That's why these guys from my game flow genius yep yea. When we look a little bit deeper,

we find out what's really good with the diamonds. People talk about all this stuff. They think, you know, diamonds, we know when they're fool gazes. But we're gonna start with some diamonds to give him in Week thirteen. Not necessarily the game flow, but people, we think you've got to look a little bit deeper on to get a good opportunity to make that playoff chase, to hitting your DFS tournaments, and also you know, to maybe bump up into a seed, get a bye. You know we're gonna

help you out do what you gotta do. In we thirteen, Ross, who's your first diamond in Yeah, I'm looking at I'm looking at Colin Kaepernett. Okay, it's been good last three or four games. He's overall undred yards running last week, and he's actually been in the top ten the last four weeks, two of those in the top five. He's done this actually with the group of pass catchers to find his wide receivers and tight ends. Get Pro Football Focus ranks at thirty second second um because it's sixty

in the game in two thousand and sixty years. Those are the worst. Those are the worst the world all yet. Okay, okay, okay, Well, and he obviously hasn't had too much help from them. He still has got a ten to three touchdown to interception ratio, which is great. In his six starts, he's throwing a touchdown pass in all six of them. But what's buttressed is what's buttressed his floor and elevated his ceiling.

For these fantasy freestyle fanatics, if you know how Rocks does it with the buttress, he buttresses that floor and elevates that ceiling. With an average of sixty two rushing yards a game, which is speed said, culminated an overall hundred last week. Chip Kelly's team is number one overall in the league and pace the Bears also happened to be top ten. In case you didn't know what, let me just let you know. Plays are your friend in

this fantasy game of ours. He's the eleventh most expensive quarterback by dollar signs on fan Duel according to my notes, but I think he's a near lock to finish in the top eight, with upside easily for a top five finish again at seventy eight hundred. If you're going to spend on quarterback in that mid range area, I love him. This week, Colin Kaepernick take a knee, shine of diamond, bright, bright, bright in the middle of that without Rocks giving you

that Colin Kaepernick's interesting. You know that Russian floor always would like in DFS. Yo, I'm gonna bring up a guy this week. Is my diamond that makes it go full circle for this cat we've been worrying about this week. We have been worried about this guy legitimately at the beginning out of the season. Okay, I like that. Now he has been slowly glowing in the offense that he has and his coach came out this week and said it is time to get him more reps. It is

time to get him more targets. And that is our boy coming out of the dark quiet room, even though apparently he was never there. Ladarius Green, YEP of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This tight end, I think this Giants Steelers game is gonna be a high scoring game. What's you know if you see the under in that game, it's like three or four weeks within that. Yeah, okay, and the Steels are six point favorites. Um, I'm wondering though, Listen, I think in the red zone, this is a good

target for Big Ben. Okay, that's why they signed him in the first place. Ladarius Green a nice last week exactly. They they think he is a part of this offense. The two catches only sixty seven yards last week, but I think his role has been going. I like that Tomlin comes out. You can get him for forty five hundred on the fan duel in a week where if you were trying to run out Gronk and it's going to affect all the tight ends. Though, look at the

Pittsburgh Steelers offense. Ladarius Green in the red zone. I like him getting a touchdown week thirteen. He is a diamond in the roff. You know, every once in a while Speed says something going to actually write it down to act upon it later. He's done it a couple of times with tight ends, and I've just been shocked at the price. You know, I could not agree more with Ladarius Green at forty five days they signed him to a couple of years deal. I think it was

four years, sixteen million dollars. They didn't do that so he could maybe play some of the snaps. You knows, who knows giants horrible against the title. And I would also just say, you know, like honestly, they were hoping so many different guys, whether it was Eli Rogers, sid Marcus Wheaton, and none of them said mord Bay. You see him getting looks, ye know that speeds. That's that's

a great call. Everyone should certainly you ring the bell friend, because I know about tell him about your dime, because I got one even better for you got one even better? All right? Well, you know I was I was pretty controversial when when I said that, I thought Colin Kaepernick. I don't know if there's anything more controversial than saying right here, you should consider starting at Buckley. What six thousand dollars have you ever seen just even playing around

what you do with the quarterback who is six thousand dollars? Now, hear me out and hear me out here. Now, First of all, if you do do this, if you employ the strategy, do not watch the game. You certainly this is one of those you cross your fingers and you bring up the box score, do not watch the game. What I will say though, is this is a floor play for the bottom of the barrel minimum non fan duel for a quarterbacks and start the start against a

terrible Sanity San Francisco defense. Excuse me, and again, you're gonna be able to spend that money elsewhere. Oh, you know his efficiency numbers last week, We're not great. He was twenty six for fifty four. Ye that's that doesn't sound so bad when you realized that they dropped ten passes on him. I understand that al Sean Jeffrey Zach Miller are not playing. No NFL players, no group of receivers like that are that bad. You're gonna see improvement

in efficiency. Uh this week against the San Francisco and defense. They've also San Francisco was allowed twenty six touchdown passes so far. That is the second most in the league. And that's incredible for a team that's being eviscerated in the run and eviscerated so early in games that teams haven't even had to throw the ball much in the second half. I will also say, Yo, Matt Barkley, what do you gotta lose? Not for the faint of heart.

I repeat for the third time, this is not for the faint of heart, Matt Barkley, six thousand dollars diamond I died in the mind for this one. Check it out. Rock said, how I give you those tight ends? Rock said, he wants to write it down. Here's another one to write down. First, I gave you Ladarius Green at now at forty six hundred. He's spend with us. Is it's

the upsell? You know who? What do you know what team in the NFL at the tight end has the most production both in terms of catches and in terms of receiving yards this year in the NFL. Oh, it's gotta be it is it is. It's a team in just a little bit further south of the Yankees. It's the Washington Redskins. Okay, even above the New England Patriots who are second. It is the Washington Redskins full Jordan

and Vernon Davis have been contributing to this effort. And now we are hearing that you know, Jordan Reed sprain days sprained day she joined third grade, a c joint spray. This is the guy that means he gets in juice box and some cookies with thrill at recess time, he can't play with his friends. Um, this is a guy who has not been durable in his career and we do not know if he's playing an other thing. You know,

Vernon Davis has been getting production. In the last game when Jordan Reid went off on Thanksgiving for ten catches, ninety five yards and two touchdowns. In that game, Vernon Davis won five for sixty eight. So if Jordan Reid doesn't play, that is production they have been looking for. Vernon Davis. I have been the Washington football team has been during this all season long. Vernon Davis is a

viable play even when Jordan Reed does play. The fact that Jordan Reed might not play in a matchup that I like vermin Vermon Davis at fort SI hundred or La Darius green at fort hundred lows or my diamonds in the rough and helping you win at tight end this week Speedies spitting statistician block you feel the fantasy freestyle style for yo, those are our diamonds in the rough, yew Rocks. The last thing we gotta do is we gotta give them our food. Dazis hu man. I guess

you know. The parting is such sweet sorrow, except when you know the people to not introduce yourself to in the first place, and then you never have to say goodbye to them. Some guys that I would put in that category. I want nothing to do with this week. I don't want to be hitting refresh on the app with two minutes left from the fourth quarter hoping they pull it out with a late touchdown because they have

a garbage matchup. That's what we're saving you from right here with the fool days it is j I. You know I earlier this year, I bas I hate to I hate to call someone out whose last name is an a vowel jig you propsy you thot having your last name and then the value. He's the fifth most expensive running back this week. I don't see how he's

finishing in the top ten. He's playing the Ballmore Ravens, the Bullmore Ravens, who have allowed the least yards per game to running backs at seventy five yards and only four scores all season. So basically, he's gonna have trouble returning value good value when you leave him when that cash this week, even if he gets seventy five yards and a touchdown, because basically j I j E does not really see enough targets in the passing game to

even make up for that sort of efficiency. One more thing that I'm gonna say is that the Ravens held Zeke Elliott under four yards to carry him Ji Ji E, Sir, if you are no Zeke Elliott, I think he's a fool gazzy this week seventy five hundred is way too much. You can forget about him, He'll write again, he to one of us. If you know what I mean, forget about it. You know, Hey, Rocks, I'm gonna keep it real, real brief. Here my food gazzy this week, Alan Robinson.

Check it out. This is a guy a R fifteen. This is a guy who's pride maybe one of the biggest fantasy busts of the season. I think in the same category with DeAndre Hopkins and Todd Gurley. Okay, however, uh and this week now, the Jacksonville Jaguars are playing the number one past defense, the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are returning and keeps leave. They give up only a hundred and nineties three yards a game. There is clear

like frustration going on. They're bringing the quarterback coaches in Jacksonville. It is non back whisperers. Yeah, it is not good. I do not think this is the week any of them are going to get off. Alan Herns also injured in that last game. I will say this, Mark Eastley has been a nice, little sneaky option, but not against this Denver deepen Allen Robinson. If you've been riding with him and now you're trying to need to make the playoffs,

this is you have to cut bait. Do not run him out here with your season on the line against the Broncos defense. Okay, that move could cost to a playoff spot. Don't do it. It's crazy. Forget about him. You know. I completely agree with speeds Air fifteen, a guy that I was really high on the off season I was wrong about that. But I will say is that you probably saw me on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, two games ago, saying Marquis Lee was a

guy who named me like every diseased. Regardless of the injury. He has passd Alan Hearns as number two, number two, number two, you know again, a guy who does have a pedigree. Yo, my second full games. You talk about big bus this year, it's hard to put him in the same exact category. But Lamar Miller hundred on the FanDuel this week is the RB twelve and Peace Girl leagues. But it's been so so so disappointing because he's finally

got the opportunity that we thought he would. He's basically been an RB too most of the season, except for a couple of starts. He has two hundred eleven rushes since the fifth most recent league. The problem is the Texans do not get into the red zone, you know, so basically he only has ten carries inside of the ten yard line. Twenty two players in the league have more. The lists will have you scratching your head. He's only seen thirty two targets like in the league among running backs,

and you know, what that's bad enough. He only has a hundred fifty one receiving ards that's thirty six in the league among running backs when he's supposed to be an RB one stud Oswiler is either unable unwilling to check down when he's open in the flat, does not look for him downfield, volumes keeping him afloat and season long, there's no way that I am paying premium for a player like that against the Green Bay defense that's really really hot against the run. What's the argument even with

the volume, efficiency is not there. He's not catching the ball. He's not going to score a touchdown, only three touchdowns on the year. Food gazing, y'all slim down. Hope that they draft alignment come back next year. Forget about how to forget about it? You know? There you have it. That is we thirteen rocks and speeds dropping stats over beach. We hope. Let us be the last people to wish

you a happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully now that you're settle them into the holiday season and are ready to make it to the playoffs with your fantasy team. To get a little extra cash for all the gifts you may have to buy for your holiday season, Speeds and Rocks holding you down and letting me be the first person to wish you a happy Honka, Happy Kwanza, a Merry Christmas, and say hey, find me at the bar with that cash and find me a holiday drink. That's what's your

Rocks and Speeds. Fantasy Freestyle of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We'll be back next week to celebrate all that cash we want. Yeah, wayoffs, we'll talk about playoffs. You're kidding, may playoffs light We can win a game
