Dane Martinez gets the fantasy cipher rolling by looking at the top "Diamond in the rough" players, as well as the fugazi phonies to stay away from in Week 13. Though Josh Gordon is starting this week, Dane thinks this will hurt his value, but could help Corey Coleman. #FNTSY #NFL #Week13 #JoshGordon #CoreyColeman #DerrickHenry #DemarcoMurray #Falcons #Vikings #LatMurray #DrewBrees #CaseKeenum

We're keeping it so hot that we sweat steam Yo, and we got a good show for you on a Thursday, as we get ready for Lucky Week number thirteen in the NFL and in the fantasy football season. Let me tell you something. Most leagues end on week thirteen. Okay, you need fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen for the playoffs. So

The number of call is eight four four, eight four, three, six, eight seven nine. We're gonna preview a bunch of games.

Will talk more NFC South with the Panthers and the New Orleans Saints. And we will also talk about Thursday Night Football, which kicks off literally week thirteen of the NFL season. We talk about the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington football team.

You know, Zike Elliott still suspended. Dez Brian facing a legitimately good cornerback. You know what that means. He disappears in his full gay z he forget about it. We'll talk about some more. We also got a poll question up about Thursday night football. You know, how do you parlay it? Right now? Washington are road favorites going into Dallas and giving up two points. It's under a field goal.

So I still think you could lay the point and go with the Washington football team because the Dallas Cowboys have showed you that without Zeke Elliott with a um less than Offen silve line than what it's been in years past, and Dac is turning the ball over and I really like some guys. I'll tell you who my diamonds in the rough in that game is a little bit later on, and we will also take your questions. Like I said, the number of call is eight four

or four eight four, three, six seven nine. Will open up the phone lines a little bit later on. I'll let you know when we do that. You can hit us up on the YouTube stream as well.

to their playoffs. I'm gonna do what I can for the hashtag stat's over beat Cipher. Come all right back, we'll talk practice Russ and start three viewing these week thirteen games on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go. Hey, I'm Frank Stanfelin. Here is Greg Susman of the Fantasy Football Best Friends Forever. What can you tell me about the d k MSP game Challenge. Well, you need to do is answer for treatment questions correctly, and you are going to the big Game in Minnesota on February fourth. How

It's a Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by d k MS only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hey, you know what it is, some boy

speeds and spend statistician. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, the stats Overbeat site for holding you down when your league's and win neg cash. You know what it is? All right? Check this out? This is big The week thirteen people are about to get into the playoffs. People got some winner it in kind of stuff right now, and it's amazing. All of a sudden, you start looking at the point totals.

You're like, ah, I'm I'm I'm seven and five. I need to win and I need to beat this dude by thirty seven points and I can hop him or like maybe you're you know, maybe you're nine and three right, and you're like, you know, if I win, I just need I just need this guy to not win and then I can keep my first round. By this is big times right now what people are actually started to talk about and think about actually winning their leagues and

winning that cash. So for the next couple of weeks, I gotta be on point and giving you the information you need. So check this out. I know We've talked about this guy a lot. People want to press my buttons about this guy. Uh. Hugh Jackson says that Josh Gordon is gonna start this week for the Los Angeles Chargers. He's I mean, excuse me for the Cleveland Browns against the Los Angeles Chargers this week. Um, He's gonna start, but I'm still not riding with him. Okay, listen, I

actually think this actually hurts him and helps Corey Coleman. Okay, I think that Casey Hayward is actually gonna wind up then having to defend Josh Gordon for the limited amount of snaps that he'll be out there, and I think that means it pushes Corey Coleman down to the number two cornerback, which is not Verette anymore, because you know, he's been gone, long gone with a season ending injury.

I actually think that Gordon is only gonna be out there for maybe half of the snaps I've been saying for weeks or months even to not be on Josh Gordon. He has not played in a regular season game since Week fourteen of two thousand and like fourteen, Okay, someone on Twitter hit me up or one of the trolls out there was like, what is this guy talking about? He played in the preseason in two thousand and sixteen. Yes,

I know, go rewind the tape. I said, he's not played in a regular season game since two thousand and fourteen. I do not believe in Deshaun Kaiser throwing him the rock. I think, if anything, that provides a little bit of cover for Corey Coleman to do a little bit. You know what, Josh Gordon, I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is. Four catches fifty seven yards. All right, we'll talk about it Monday. Uh. In Tennessee, Mike Mullarkey has said, quote unquote, we have two starters at running back.

This is kind of a shot called by your boy species and spitting statistician. I told you to Derrick Henry was ascending every week. I'm telling you that Derrick Henry is the guy. And now even Malarkey is admitting we have two starters. You know what that means. That means the door is open for Derrick Henry to start ascending, and to Marco Murray with his injuries and his you know whatever. I don't know. I I think that's a

real committee. Moving on, speaking of which he are the people that uh did not practice today, and we start with Marco Murray. They say it's just an illness. But listen, I think they're providing cover for him. Like I said, Derrick Henry is my guy in Exotic smash Mouth. Richard Matthews, also in Tennessee, did not practice. Here's the question, though, do you go back to the Corey Davis Well, I don't know. I think he's burned me too many times. I think he is the wide receiver version of Joe

Mixon this year. You love the skill, you love the talent, you think there's opportunity, But does he deliver or not? Is the question I'm still waiting to see on Corey Davis, even with Richard Matthews potentially out. He did not practice today. Chris Hogan still not practicing. You need to you could at this point in the season. I think you could go ahead and if not bench him yet and you may be able to drop him. Okay, this has been

an injury that has lingered for a long time. He's now getting to the point that when he does come back, you don't trust him the first week out because he's mitched so much time, and obviously in New England there's a lot of mouths to feed there. Adrian Peterson did not practice yet again in Arizona, putting his availability in doubt for Week thirteen. DJ Foster would be the next

man up there if you were desperate. Doug Martin still in the concussion protocol, not good for his week thirteen availability. My man pop Quiz Jock quiz. Rogers might be the lead dog for the Bucks up in Lambeau this Sunday. Kelvin Benjamin did not practice because of that knee injury. That's a bad sign, Okay, that's trending in the wrong direction. You want to see him get on the field at some point this week. If you think he's gonna go out there, maybe Zay Jones becomes the number one wide

receiver out there. I think Charles Clay would actually lead the team in targets, catches, and yards. Greg Olsen did not practice again as well. Remember maybe he had a setback. He reaggravated that foot injury. Ron Rivera, though says he could play even if he doesn't practice all week. You know, the kid is a veteran. He's not a kid. He is a veteran, and maybe he's good enough to you know, miss all the week and still go Week thirteen. Amera Doula also not practicing yet this week because of a

neck injury. He is dealing with limited practice. This is a very interesting one. Aaron Jones back on the practice field today for the Green Bay Packers. And I say this because if Aaron Jones dresses and his active, Jamal Williams is no longer to taste the option that we've been talking about for the last couple of weeks. Okay, Jamal Williams part of his value because he had that backfield to himself. If Aaron Jones comes back, that is not the case. Lamar Miller also got back on the

practice field. He was probably just rested yesterday because remember Houston was playing on Monday Night football, so maybe they gave him a day to manage his reps. Back on the field today, This is good news. Christian McCaffrey back on the field. He'll play. He's a PPR beast. Matt Forte back on the practice field. I don't like this because it muddles the running back situation for the Jets. If there's no Forte, I like blah, pal with Forte and Powell and even Elijah McGuire. I don't like three

headed committees. That causes me concerned. Sterling Shepherd is back practicing again for the Giants. You remember he was dealing with those migraines. You know he's gonna play. And whether it's Geno Smith there or not, you know what I actually think. I actually think this is good news for Evan Ingram. I think Evan Ingram needs a little bit of help, you know, with the defense focusing on other people.

And then I actually think Evan Ingram against Oakland, who is notoriously bad against the tight end, I think that actually boosts the stock of Evan Ingram. DeVante Freeman, who I told you had cleared the concussion protocol yesterday, he they say now, quote unquote, he will not be limited against these Minnesota vikings. And if it's regular old to Vante Freeman, I mean he was an RB one right.

He was struggling a little bit before these concussions. But if he had some time to get back into it, I can see Vonta Freeman being right back in the RB one conversation. I know Coleman was decent in his stay as the lead back. But I think they go right back to their roles, and I think that means RB one. Uh excuse me. I think that means Freeman is a back end RB one, high end r B two, And I think Coleman goes back into the into the

flex conversation. Alex Collins is back practicing that remember you had a calf injury. I think that was just managing his reps as well. He should be good to go. Shady McCoy, though, popped up on the injury report today with a knee. That's not good. Remember anytime someone comes onto the injury report on a Thursday, that means maybe something was tweaked in practice. The good news is though he was listed as a full participant, so maybe it's not that bad. But keep an eye on Shady in

tomorrow's report. And also back practicing. This is a big one. Also to um Juju Smith Schuster backpracticing full with that hamstring. So he goes back, in my opinion, right back above Martavis Bryant to be the second wide receiver for Pittsburgh, and I think that means you could fade Mark Tavis Briant. All right, let's talk a little bit about Thursday night football. Tonight, let's talk a little bit about Thursday night football. We got the Washington team going in there to take on

the Cowboys. The Cowboys are home underdogs. You know how much I love the home underdogs, but I don't love what Dallas has been doing lately. Um, I think they are deserving underdog and I would not be on them because as long as this, as long as this spread states below a field goal, give me Washington. I think

Washington has figured out that they still can score. I think some j p Ryan could be a viable back for them, and he could get the ball twenty times, and I think that he really actually helps Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins in real life. In fantasy, Kirk Cousins used to be this volume thrower, and we like that in fantasy. That's why he was match up proof because he was gonna be throwing, throwing, throwing, because you know, Rock Kelly couldn't run the ball, Chris Thompson couldn't run the ball.

But if p Ryan can run the ball, that makes him less of a volume rower. And I think you may need to downgrade some of the wide receivers. The one ride receiver that I do like and I love it for Washington is Jamison Crowder. I think Jamison Crowder in PPR formats is actually gonna be down the stretch, a high end wide out three, maybe even a back end wide out too. He might be in that two kind of conversation in the rankings because I think, listen, he is the guy tried and true in there that

Kirk Cousins knows about. He would actually be my diamond and the rough in this game. He is the new go to guy for Kirk Cousins. I think he now leads the posse with some j P Ryan, Josh Dotson, and Vernon Davis. I've said this before. I like Jamison crowd or Chris Pavona. He is my diamond in the rough. There it is. And Yo, when I give you my diamonds, I gotta give you my fool gazes. First of all, I'm gonna tell you that in this game on the Dallas side, I actually think I like Rod Smith better

then Alfred Morris. I think, especially in PPR formats. Okay, rod Smith I think is gonna be the checkdown guy. I think he's gonna get some catches tonight and I like him PPR scoring. I like Rod Smith over Alfred Morris. But my fool Gazzy for this game Dez Bryant. I've been saying it all season long. When Death matches up against average to below average cornerbacks, He's able to do work out, physical them out, you know, and and really

have good production. When he plays good cornerbacks, he vanishes. Gener's Jenkins took care of him, Xavier Rhodes took care of him. You know, We've seen some other teams actually eliminate Deaz. Patrick Peterson did as well, and I think Josh Norman is gonna do that today. They got a commercial back and forth where they talk smack to each other. So I think Josh Norman is gonna be all over Des and I think he does effectively take him away. So Dez Bryant is my fantasy fool Gazzy forgot about

it for Thursday Night football. I like Washington and win this game something seventeen continue. They're very, very slim hopes and completely ineffectively do away with the Dallas Cowboys tonight. When we come back. I'm gonna look at some other spotlight games in Week thirteen. I'm gonna give you my diamonds and full gazees and you could also holler at me. Next segment, phone lines are open, Stats over beats. Let's go Fantasy Freestyle Hunter Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These

three NFL softwares are not due to slump. They're due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and dell o the app f a t s Y radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven, the best Fantasy sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. The champ is here, the timp is here. You know what it is. It's a fantasy freestyle. We're getting it down on a Thursday, and I'm excited for

a couple of reasons. One Week thirteen kicks off in about an hour when Dallas Cowboys are at home to take on the Washington football team. I told you in my preview I think this trends for the Washington football team. The point spread is only one or two. If it stays below a field goal, give me Washington as a road favorite. I also think this game could be under the forty seven total um I can see this being like a twenty four to twenty seven to like a

ten to thirteen kind of game. Even if it's twenty seven to thirteen, that's only forty I think. You know, Dallas has not impressed me. Um without Zeke Elliott, Doc has been turning the ball over Dez Bryant, I think can be effectively covered by Josh Norman. And so I I like Washington tonight, and forty seven percent of you agree with me with Washington and the under under. The twenty six percent say Washington and the over. That combines,

I'm gonna do some quick math that combines. For seventy of you, three quarters of you like the Washington football team tonight. So I can understand if people want to fade the public and go the other way with Dallas. But I really think that Washington still is fighting for some things and Dallas is unraveling. They you know, continue to defecate the mattress without Zeke Elliott the other game. I want to talk to you about real quick before we get into the calls, and I see you guys

out there lightening up the phone lines. My man Chris Bavona taking good care of everybody. Will open up the phone lines to the stats overbeat cipher in a second. But I do want to talk about this Vikings Falcons game because I think this is very interesting. I think this is a very interesting game, the Vikings and the Falcons down in Atlanta, where the Falcons are actually a three point favorite at home. Forty seven is the total. I think this game could be a high total. I

think this game. I think there could be a lot of points scored in this game. I think there could be a lot of production in this game. Here a couple of points. I want to make you know how Minnesota has been killing it lately, absolutely killing it lately. Okay, and you know I respect that, right Adam Feeling is now like wide receiver. Oh like three I think. But here's the thing. The um the Vikings are incredible at home.

You know, this defense has been incredible at home. They beat the Saints at home, they beat you know, Tampa at home. They're only lost this season at home is Detroit. They are a different team. On the road, they're a great team. There's still nine and two overall something like that. But here's the thing. Their defense has not been as good on the road. They're giving up a good five more points a game, at least on the road. And these Atlanta Falcons don't look now, but they're starting a

round into form. They are starting to get familiarized with what Steve Sarkiesian is trying to do with this team. You see Julio Jones absolutely go off. They're getting Davonte Freeman back as well. I think this Everyone loves the Vikings, think that they're, you know, prime to maybe be that team that can handle Philadelphia in the NFC. I'm not so sure, are I think that because they're on the

road in this game, it could be very very interesting. Ultimately, I think this is a field goal kind of game. I think this could be a last team with the ball kind of game. I think this could be a field goal game. So I would take the Vikings with the points, but I think the Minnis, uh, I think Atlanta could win this game. I think Atlanta could win a you know, thirty to twenty eight kind of game, a twenty seven twenty six kind of game, a twenty six twenty four kind of game, a thirty one twenty

eight kind of game. So I would take the Vikings with the points, but I think Atlanta is gonna be far more competitive, and I think this game goes over the forty seven total. For this game, my diamond in the rough, though, I'm gonna go away from Julio. I'm even gonna go away from my man Mohammed. HiT's a new day. I'm gonna go with either Tyler Gabriel or Austin Hooper. And here's why I respect this Minnesota Vikings secondary. I love Xavier Bumpy roads roads closed. I think Terrence

Newman continues to do it. I think they can. You're not gonna shut down Julio. You're not gonna, you know, like Snoo's not gonna have a bagel. But I would tamper expectations. And so I think Matt Ryan will look elsewhere where. He has matchups that could be UH Tyler Gabriel at the third wide out, that could be Austin Hooper as the tight end matched up against the UH the linebackers there. So my diamond is either Tyler Gabriel

or Austin Hooper. My fool gaze, and if you listen to the show, I've been saying this for a long time. My fool gaze in this UH game is Latavis Murray. Okay, I think that this is a Jerrick McKinnon game. I've been saying. I've been saying for a minute that the reason Lettavis Murray has been going off the last couple of games is because the Minnesota Vikings have been up

in this games. They're getting big leads on their opponents. Okay, that's why they park the bus and then are able to have Latavis Murray get into the end zone at the end of the game. I think this game against Atlanta is much more competitive, and so that means Jerick McKinnon is back in play. Latavius Murray for me in this game is a week thirteen Fantasy fool gaze forgot about him, he says, means phony. That's what it is,

all right, lat Murray is my ful gayzy. But now we have arrived at the best time of my day. First of all, let me tell you something. We're bringing in a real friend to decipher dilly dilly right here to my man, Adam Champion. He's the Champion Lover and we may have heard him on the Fantasy Freestyle like back in the day. He's hanging out with me a

little bit. Uh true, true, true, friend of the Cipher, my road dog, and when you're gonna pop the top right now on the stats over Beats Cipher helping you win your leagues and win the had cash. We started off today with Drew in North Carolina. Drew, what's going on? You're down with spitting speed stats over beats. Let's help you get a w going into the playoffs? Lucky week number thirteen. How can I help they speed you? The man? I appreciate you taking a car anytime, brother man? How

can I help you? Alright? So I'm tending, No, you don't need my help. No, I'm up against Suelveno this one. Now, you're tending to going up against sweven all right, lay it on me trying. Yeah, I'm trying to hand them all their only loss of the season. So um, Okay, I've got I've got Crowder, I've got Jamison. The only way to start him those to sit Mike Thomas or Adam feeling. Should I do it? Okay? Fair enough, you are not sitting Atam. I gotta feeling you are not

sitting him. Okay, However, Michael Thomas, I've made this point on the show before, the Saints are evolving Okay, this is not Drew Brees for three fifty anymore. Okay, this is this is Alvin Kamara mark Ingram running the ball. This is an average defense. So because of that, if it is a pp OUR format, is this PPR standard Drew half point pr Okay? Because of that format, I would actually take Jamison Crowder over Michael Thomas. How do you feel about that, champyond lover? We don't have his

mike working, Jesseeah, we're gonna get his mike going. But that's all right. Let me tell you something. I would do it. I would do it. I know. Listen, we're at the point of the season. We're at the point of the season where you gotta take the names off the back of the jersey and see what's actually happening. Okay, I like Jamison Crowder. Thomas has been wired and wired for me all season. It will be the first time

he's seen the man. And also it doesn't he only have like one game above a hundred yards for me. I hear you. I got James Crowder today, today, tonight, though, what's up? What else you got? Can I ask you about a couple more? Okay? Um, so I've got em and Ingram. I've got Cameron Brad and I've got Greg Olson. I don't know what to do then. All right, so first of all, you obviously got to check the practice reports on Greg Olsen. Right, g Reg with the third

leg from the eighth floor. But if he does not go and it doesn't look like he is, he was d NP yesterday and today. I actually believe that the return of Sterling Shepherd helps Evan Ingram. When he was the only option out there, he was going for like, um, you know, one for eight and stuff like that. I think Sterling Shepherd actually helps them. Uh, you know, coverage has to focus on more than one pass catcher. In the Oakland Raiders are notoriously bad against the tight end.

I actually like Evan Ingram to bounce back, you know, and if it doesn't work with the quarterback, he could just punch him in the jaw. All right, thanks for calling on the Fantasy Freestyle, Drew. We gotta get to some other callers that want to get down with the hashtags stats over beat cipher up. Next we go to Rue Ruins in Florida. Ruined, Florida. You're on the cipher right now, Dilly, Dilly, you're trying to get you a W in week thirteen? What's up? What it dude? How

are you doing? How you doing? Dilly? Dilly? I'm good, I'm good. I got I have three, but I'm a fair enough. The first question I have, uh, Drew Brees case. So wow, wow, it's crazy, it's crazy. But here's the thing. I'm telling you the truth. I gotta tell you something rude, like you're asking a legitimate question, and it's it's hysterical to me that you're asking a legitimate question. There, let me tell you something. Uh, this Carolina defense that they're

facing is second in the NFL six against the past. Meanwhile, you know your boy case Keenom case Keendoms facing Atlanta and Atlanta gives it up a little bit? Can I actually recommend going Case Keenom over Drew Brees this week? What do you think Jim for as a Drew Breese owner in multiple leagues? I think you actually can be coasting on Michael Thomas. Let me let me ask you something though, Let me ask you something rude. Do you need this win to make the playoffs? I'm actually nine

and three in the person I'm playing. He's not in the three for a bye to I got taking stunts because I've been listening to you. Yeah, listen, listen. I told you Case and your fear is a beautiful motivator. He's looking behind him and the images in the mirror are larger than they appear in that image is Teddy Bridgewater. Here's the thing, you know. I want to tell you to go ahead and start case Keenum. But here's my problem.

What happens when Drew Brees puts up the three thirty and he puts up four touchdowns and then you don't get your bye and you're staring at Drew Brees and his thirty seven points on the bench. I want to tell you go case Keenum, but I don't know if I can. And good conscious man, Rue, go at your heart. And I kind of think I kind of think case Keenum is the answer. I kind of think case Keenan is the answer. Next up on the Fantasy Free Stuff, we go right here in New York City, right by

Studio thirty four. We got Philip in Brooklyn, Brooklyn. Stand up. You're on the status of a beat Cipher. What's going on, Philip? How you feeling? No daily daily? Well? Good? Thank you, Sorr, I appreciate. Give me the question real quick because we'll up against the break and then I'm gonna answer the question out there commercial break. What's up? What you got? Phil? Uh? Running back twelve team standard? Uh? Jerick McKinnon, DeVante Booker or we got McKinnon, Booker and a gi All right,

fair enough. I'm hearing the music right now from Chris Bavona, so I'm gonna lean back. I'm gonna think about this over the break, and Philip, when we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle status over beats, I'm gonna answer your question. Chris and Sacramento.

I gotta tell of philing Philip Brooklyn. What's it? I like McKinnon if you would listening to the show, you know, I'm off Latin Murray and what I think is a more competitive game. I think, mackinn it will be on the field a little bit more. And then I go with Gi e I've been on Booker as it relates to C. J.

Anderson for weeks. I've been telling you guys that Booker is the guy to own, but I think Denver is uh continuing to defecate the mattress. So I'm gonna go with J. G. I E two and DeVante Booker three. There, Philip, I hope it works out for you. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle is Chris and Sacramento. Hey, Chris, out there on the West coast? You what are in traffic on the four oh five? What's going on over there? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle? What's good? Oh? You know,

I'm actually at work trying to get this bag. You know what I'm saying. I feel you. I feel you. I appreciate that you are, you know, spending your work time getting down with the spitting statistician. How can I help you win that cash? And this way? You can you know, say say f you to your boss, right, be like yo, forget that I already won this cash. I'm good to go. You could take this job. I listen to speed. How can I help you out? All right? Man?

I got a couple of problems. My first one is a tight end problem every time I've tried to run the Corey Porson's office end yea, I hear you. So I got Brendon Davis on my dance, but I have zach Ertz. So shout you go ahead and dropped this guy and pick up like a dog show. And then or Paul, here's the question for you. Will you ever start Vernon Davis over zach Ertz? I do not believe you will. You know what I mean. So the question is can you flex him in some matchups? You can?

I don't remember though, the giants of all teams who give up touchdowns to the tight end every single week he got squaw dudes. Nobody wanted v D on Thanksgiving. Everybody was with the family. They wanted to keep it cleaning. So no, I wouldn't drop him. Though. I wouldn't drop him because I think there are some weeks where Vernon Davis is a viable flex. I just don't think this week is one of them. So no, Chris, I would not drop Vernon Davis, but this week I would in

fact bench him. I think you probably, Well, what are your better options? What other options are you considering in your flex spot? Well, that that that goes to the second question. Right now, I'm gonna have to start a running back, and I got either Rex Burkhead, Davonte Um Booker, a mere A Doula, Derrick Henry or Corey Davis. All right, check this out. Is it PPR standard? My bast standard.

That's all right, don't worry about it. I like Derrick Henry because Malarkey came out today and said, quote unquote, we have two starters. I think this means that DeMarco Murray and his illness and his shoulder and his hammy. I think he's getting a little bit washed ex exactly right, Champ, he's got a east infection too. Um. So here's the thing. I like Derrick Henry. Moving forward, Who are some of the other options you had? Uh? There was DeVante Booker,

Corey Davis, and Rex Burkhead. See you said it was standard. If it was PPR, I would have loved Rex Burkhead, But I think Henry is an option. I would actually do Henry over v D as my choice there. I hope it works out for your Chris. Holler back at me any time. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, getting down with the stats over beat Cipher, we go to bean Town. True Friend of the Show. We got Dennis up here on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you?

Dennis get a w in Lucky Week number thirteen. Hey, dey, Dilly Dilly, what's up? Friend of the Show. How can I help good Man? Hey? I'm looking for running back to it's the Dynasty PPR full point. I got either Rod Smith tonight or I can hold out to see what happens with Peterson and you go with d J Foster in a backup for DJ Foster b Danny Woodhead. No, I wouldn't mess with this DJ Foster nonsense. Okay, I would not mess with d J Foster. I don't care

what Adrian if Adrian Peterson is there or not. Remember but remember before Adrian Peterson, when it was Carson Palmer throwing the ball fifty times a game as a volume throw. I'm off the cardinal situation. To me, it's Rod Smith or who was the other guy you mentioned? Danny Woodhead? Is this PPR or stand at four point e PR? Yeah? I like Danny Woodhead. I like Danny Woodhead. He's been growing. If you've seen last week, Danny woodhad caught like five

or six balls. Buck Allen only had one tarket. Okay, I think this is Alex Collins in early down work. And I like Danny Woodhead as long as he can stay healthy. I think Danny Woodhead could return some value for you because you know what else, Joe Flacco was allergic to throwing the ball downfield. Champ. He does not want to throw the ball downfield. Check down City for Danny Woodhead. You like Danny Woodhead over Rod smith Wood. All right, we're gonna go with that. We're gonna go

with that, Dennis. We like Danny Woodhead, especially because it is a PPR settings. Dilley Dilley, I hope you avoid the bit of misery. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go up to Shytown. It is Hector, Hector in Shytown. You were on the stats Overbeat site for Let's get a w Poppy in week thirteen. What's good? How can I help? It was good? Man? I'm definitely gonna have to lock you in now, Delly, Dilly Dilley, you freak out a show. It's all good when it was up.

I gotta cup quick ones for you, man. Uh I talked to you earlier this week, but this week it's not really a big deal. But I'm up against the big bog this week. He's tending to he got the first week by as well. Um, so I need three quick ones, RB two and a flex I want to do. Uh. I got Rod Smith. I like the game flow you were talking about earlier, right, and I like what Smith over Alfred Morris. I'll tell you that definitely. And um I got Drake versus Denver this week, and then I

and then I got Booker in the same game. And you gotta start one and flex one right, And this is PPR. This is a standards Oh this is standard Okay. Um that's a tough one for me, to be quite honest. I I gotta tell you that God's out of truth actor. I don't really love these options. Um, this is your r B two. Who's your RB one? Please say Levan Bell Shady? Alright, alright, alright, alright, Um I go Kenyan Drake. Here, I think I go Kenyan Drake because here's the thing

Rod Smith is sharing with, uh. You know, Alfred Morris, DeVante Booker is sharing with C. J. Anderson. We don't know how that committee works out. Damian Williams is out. He's still not practicing this week. I think he's got a shoulder injury, which means Kenyan Drake is kind of like the last man standing, just because I know that he will have a bigger percentage of the opportunity. I am a little bit afraid that he's going up against at Denver defense that is very stout against the run.

But someone's got to produce. My answer for you is Kenyan Drake Hector. Okay, you got another one, right, all right? So with with those options, as you don't like them, would you uh flex uh or wide receiver instead? Out of these? I got many Sanders. Uh. It's a new day, and I guess Minnesota with David Rhodes and Terence Newman there who else you got? I got Crabtree, but he's suspended. I dropped Cooper. I got a dropped Cooper because you know we don't like him like that. But you're not

gonna agree with this neither. But I'm going out on a limb with Josh Gordon. You know how I feel. You know how I feel about Josh Gordon. You know how I feel about Josh Gordon. This is a man who has not played in the NFL since the end of the two thousand fourteen season. This is a guy who has just Sean Kaiser throwing him the ball. And this is a guy who I believe is gonna have

Casey Hayward on him. But here's what I'm gonna tell you, Hector, if you picked up Josh Gordon, you picked him off to play him, right, So against my better judgment for you, because apparently you've got love for Josh Gordon, go on and ride him out and see how he does, Hector, and then let me know. Okay, but go ahead write him out, see how he does. That's what I would say.

You're right, I don't like it. I'm calling for Josh Gordon to go four catches for fifty six yards And if that's what you want, go right ahead and do it. I but I do I do you know? Rod Smith wanta But go ahead, go with Josh Gordon. Go ahead. That's what I would do. That's not what I would do, but that's what I'm saying. You can do. Okay, Hector, all right, than all right, fair enough, and do me a favor. Let me know if you got that buyer or not next week up next on the Fantasy Freestyle,

it is my man, truck A Rick. Yo, what's up, truck a Rick? I'm doing yo? I told Tony. I told Tony on Sunday about how he why did he give up that job with Lisa and to Ronas and uh, you know he had some things, but I can't mention him on air. Let's just talk about it. Let's just say it like that, all right, truck A Rick, what's going on? How could I help you? Week number thirteen, Let's get a w man. I'm thinking out there. Listen then I'm you know, I agree with you, man. I

told this is not my bed. I'm going with death yep. Alright, but but I gotta be cool because I was gonna be half power man. I gotta starting, all right, But I don't want him to start. He's screwl me ye out. You know what I mean. Here's who I got to talk on that long and I got a feeling about Rod Smith tonight or off that old Mike Davis. That's my choice. Mike Vis. I don't know if he's gonna go. Yeah, I wouldn't go Mike Davis. I wouldn't go Mike Davis, Rick,

and let me tell you why. A couple of reasons. One, you're absolutely right, we don't know if he's gonna go. Number Two, the Seattle Seahawks have not been able to run the ball all season long. Number three, and most importantly, they are facing the Philadelphia Eagles, who are number one in the NFL against the run. Last week, they held Jordan Howard, a viable bell cow, to seven carries for six yards. If they do that, imagine what they would

do to Mike Davis behind that Seattle offensive line? Is this, hey, Rick, is this PPR standard? But Rod Smith right, listen, if you got to feel and go with it, Bro, I think, listen, here's what I'm telling you. I agree. I Washington is up in this game. And so if Washington is up in this game, I think the game flow goes that they're gonna have to throw the ball a little bit. I don't think they're gonna find Dez Bryant because you know my theory on that Dez Bryant is good against

some par competition. Gener's Jenkins takes him away, Patrick Peterson takes him away. Josh Norman says he's gonna take him away. On a damn Samsung commercials, so he's gonna do it tonight as well. I know you're down on Kareem Hunt, but maybe it's the bounce back for Kareem Hunt. If you go with your gut on Rod Smith, that's okay. But a piece of me tells me Kareem Hunt may bounce back a little bit this week against the jet As Jets. Jets Jets and they hate may have gone

a little bit too far. But I'm okay if you go, Rod Smith, because I believe you and I agree with you on the Game Flow where we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, we tie a nice neat little bow on this episode. We check the polls and we got one more call out there Jose out there in Houston, especially if your last name is Altobe, we gotta get you down on the hashtag stats over beat Cipher come on back, and we got Ventra from questions from YouTube

beds well spitting speeds, you know what it is. On the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle, d Jackson says that Josh Gordon is gonna start this week, but I'm still not riding with him, Okay, I actually think this actually hurts him and helps Corey Coleman. I actually think that Gordon is only gonna be out there for maybe half of the snaps. I've been saying for

weeks or months even it's not beyond Josh Gordon. I do not believe in Deshaun Kaiser throwing him the rock. You know what, Josh Gordon, I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is. Four catches fifty seven yards all right, weekdays from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network three four, five, six, seven eight, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We got one more call to take care of them. We're gonna talk with my man, Chris,

the analyst Ventra. See what the people are saying on the YouTube feed. That one call is Jose down in each town. Jose, are you five ft six in the m v P of the American League, Oh Man, I wish man perfect. Yeah, I'm sure your congratulations to those boys down there. They were my pick to win the al Pennant back in March. Go ahead and check the video. I was all over the Houston Nationals, but congratulations to you, jose Um. How can I help you get a W

in Week thirteen? Appreciate that? Appreciate that. No problem, man. Right now, I'm sitting UH nine in three in my league. It's a ten team standards. Yeah, I'm in first place, so I'm guaranteed playoffs. But I just had a quick question on my lineup. We have a three white receiver set and I'm starting Cooper Cup and Robby Anderson, but asked my third one. I could really start Josh doson Um, ju Ju Smith Schuster or some new I like Juju,

I Juju. I think Dotson. You know, I'm still waiting for Dotson to really pop. I think Dotson is behind uh clearly Jamison Crowd and may even be behind Vernon Davis tonight. He's that big play threat, but it seems like he doesn't actually catch those fifty ball so I'm off Dotson. I like Juju in his return to put Mark Davis Bryant back in his place. And I like

the Pittsburgh Steelers to roll. I think that high octane offense watch out for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I think that's an offense that can in fact support Antonio Brown, Levy on Bell and Juju. Okay, they've been looking for that number two for a long time. They thought it was Eli Rodgers, they thought it was Martavis Bryant. Juju

Smith Schuster is that guy? I like him in your lineup, Jose, I hope it helps, and go ahead and tell him my man, Jose al Tove that speeds the spitting statistician says, what's up? Check this out when I give my DFS lineup tomorrow. Okay, I'm gonna give my DFS line off a week thirteen tomorrow. I really like it. I got a nice little stack on Sunday Night Football. But um, you can take that line up and go on over to www. Dot Fantasy factor dot com. I love them,

especially for someone who's dipping their toe in the DFS water. Listen, I don't like on those big sites, you're playing against guys with like fifteen hundred lineups and they're algorithms. Right Fantasy Factor dot com single entry tournaments. They're all single entry tournaments, flatter prize pool, smaller contests. It gives you an actual chance if you're trying to start out. Boyd who I love them and doing free rolls every week going over to www Dot Fantasy Factor dot com. Tell

me your boys speed sent you. All right, check this out. At the end of the show, we check out the YouTube stream. If you've liken what you see on the YouTube stream, hit that like button. It is right there, and we check out the feed. That's right, it's right over there. Champ, it's right over there. Yeah, and we got at the end of the show, we go to my man Chris, the analysts Ventro has been monitoring the YouTube stream. Heyo, Ventra, what are the people saying? What

are the people asking? What's popping speeds? I got a couple of questions, that's what I was able to dig up direct to us. And the first one ready, we got s you gotta pick one for Standard League, Sam pe Ryan, Doug Baldwin or Lamar Miller pick one. I don't like Lamar Miller. Um he's banged up a little bit. And I actually believe that Andre Ellington is gonna start getting work from them, all right, So it was p Ryan or who p Ryan, Baldwin or Lamar Miller pick

one Standard? Because it's standard. I'll go Soma J. P Ryan. I'll go som J p Here and I love Doug Baldwin. If it was PPR, I'll go Baldwin. And I like Baldwin against that past defense. Philly's great against the run, you know, blunt gouts trash against the past. So I like Baldwin, But I think p Ryan gets the guaranteed production. I think he's gonna see the ball twenty times tonight. Actually like Lamar Miller for PR. Yeah, I know you like the Miller. You've been on Lamar Miller all season long.

I'm not on that guy. I'm not on him. Alright, alright, we got time for one more. What's going on? Right? So we got uh pick one of these its PPR. But it doesn't really matter Jared Goff, Drew Brees or Kirk Cousins this week. I think Cousins is not the volume thrower that he has been with p Ryan getting the ball like twenty times a game. Who did the Rams have the Rams have average Zona? Who has been giving it up outside of Peterson? Give me golf. We

can't kick a breeze against Minnesota. Give me golf. Hey, Ventral, We're gonna see your lineup tomorrow when we do the DFS, and then we'll see my lineup. We're gonna help people win their leagues and win their cash. Week thirteen kicks off in about half an hour. Cowboys in Washington. I like Washington and the under tonight. I'll see you tomorrow.
