We're dropping stats over beats are the fantasy sports radio networks Going into the Fantasy playoffs in Week four, team, I know you're already and excited for this, right Rocks. Yeah, man, it's a little bitter sweet. You know, obviously with the rise of the DFS, winning your league, you know, getting a bye, being in the playoffs is not the be

all and end all. And I'm in a couple of leads that are a little shallower ten team leagues where I'm still fighting for a playoff spot, but that are still the regular season. Huh Yeah, it's still a regular season, so you gotta pay attention. I did not, as you know, finishing the top six in our home four team team keeper league. You did, and you've gotta buy, so I gotta. I gotta tip my cap to you and take congratulations

on that. It's been a good regular season. Hope none of your dudes get hurt when they should be taking arrest on that bench this week, though, we're hearing for no injuries and no fantasy for his style listeners that Rocks brought that up. I did not bring up my own fantasy team. Okay, I'm ready to keep hit moving like we need to do. Rocks, he'll check this out.

Last week, we saw the first couple of games in the snow, and that dramatically, That dramatically changed things for a couple of people, most notably Colin Kaepernick with a one out of four for five yards showing and he was eventually pulled. There were some crazy thing in the game in the snow in Green Bay as well. Um besides not only uh you know, there being no completion in the first quarter in the game in Chicago. In Green Bay, we saw our tampered production brock Os oiler

not really doing it. But you and I rocks. We had a gentleman's bet on DeAndre Hopkins in that game, and with a late touchdown in the snow, I think DeAndre Hopkins we had a gentleman's better m you would finish in the top of Morning four. He in fact rocks last night, So he was sixteens going into Monday Night football. I think probably only t Y Hilton outscored him.

Uh so I would. I think it's safe to say that he was in the top twenty four this week market of the gentleman's bet on the side for speed. But what do you think about the snow in general starting to impact as we get into December. Yeah. One of the things I feel about that is that you know, obviously unique to always check before the one o'clock games kick off, but it's even more important in DFS, where

your entire lineup locks after that first game starts. And as someone last week who initially recommended not only Colin Kaepernick, who shot the world by only completing one pass, but Matt Barkley, who had a decent game by the low bar that Matt Barkley has said, um, but those are both guys that I holed out of my life and I saw that it was going to be snowing in Chicago.

One thing I'll say is if you're the type of person who likes to when the slate is looking we on a Thursday, play those Thursday to Sunday or Thursday to Monday games, I would avoid doing that as the weather can become increasingly in issue and there's basically nothing you can do when you see that blizzard heading in and you've got two wide receivers playing in those games. So that's just something I would say avoid that as always. You know, I know your settings, make sure you have

bench options available. If you've got guys going in the you know, the the Northeast and UH and the Midwest, where those conditions can be brutal, then that tundra can get frozen. Yeah, I've been talking about the gradually freezing Tunja of lambeau Field, you know rocks. That brings up

another good point. Not only is it the point in the season when snow and weather starts to get involved, you also have to start to consider this is the point of the time of the year where some of the teams know they are out of it and are starting to uh, you know, make their reservations for their

tea times and their golf and their vacations. Can you know, like consider the New York j E T s Jet and Jets Jets last week completely laying hey done, gave up and quit in that game on Monday Night football. Now they're going to the West coast and even against the crazy, horrible San Francisco team, that team is actually uh giving up points against the Jets because everyone thinks they've mailed it in. I think someone like the San Francisco defense out of nowhere becomes viable. And there's a

number of teams in this situation. It's the equivalent of you know, playing your kids. I think we have crossed that threshold now for a lot of teams, even the grounds looking to get r G three back. Um, So what do you think about ronson time in terms of also, you know, people starting to give up and how might that impact or rest players, how might that impact your week? Is moving down the stretch. The number one draft pick

in the NFL is an incredibly, incredibly valuable thing. You know, You've seen rebuilding efforts basically based entirely on having that number one pick, hitting the lotto and getting a franchise quarterback or selling it for a king's ransom and restocking your entire system with the picks in the years to com. One of the things I'll say, you know, specifically to your point, is that I don't necessarily think that San Francisco defense is going to be a ban play this

week alongline is what you're saying. They made the Jets made the indie defense look like world beaters last week, and and that was that was with Ryan Fitspatrick played a decent part of the game that you know, perhaps race heading might be the answer in the future, he is not the answer on the road in week fourteen. Well, listen here, Rocks, like you know, this is the time. So your point, this is what you were saying the

four of the off air. This is the time of the year where you're starting to try to just maximize your matchup. Do you have two or three weeks left? You know? Interesting it up. If you were listening to the shot followers yesterday on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I got a call from my home girls, Terry from New Jersey. She made her playoffs, as uh carring callers, she made a playoffs. She thanks mespen statission, but she said she was worried about the Giants defense that she's

had all year. I say, yeah, you do not play the Giants defense this week with JPP going out against the Capols, I'm you know, looks are like the sin uh the San Francisco's. I was like, look for Indianapolis, they've been horrible all here, but they're playing against brockofs Filer. I was like, get the matchups, and you know, at this point of this season, there are a couple of teams that are you know, just failing it in and you need to you need to maximize these matchups in

the season long leagues. One of the tanks. One of the things that you said too. You know, if you're playing in Elite and then start to two wide receivers, there's no more pies. You don't eat five wide receivers on your roster unless you you have the best wide receiver corps. However, what you do need, maybe though, is the best deep on the wire right now by a matchups that's gonna be a Week fifteen play, which you do need to do against something else that you said

letely agree with, handcuffed your stud running backs. It's insane to me how many of these guys that need to be handcuffed, their handcuffed is sitting out there in fifties sixty seventy percent a league. There's just reason that it's crazier than that. Alfred Morris fourteen percent old? Okay, uh Jalen was Shard in Oakland twelve percent old? Are you

kidding me? If you're a playoff team, it's very possible you've been riding a Z t O Elliott or Latavius Murray all year and you're gonna tell me what behind the two best offensive lines in football, you're not want that opportunity? How how are you going to league where you have Littavius Murray hud like a ninety nine percent old and then Jailor Shard only twelve percent old? You know what I mean? You saw this basic? You saw

this basic. Same thing happened last year where a lot of teams road tim Ey Tower in that hyperpowered Saints offense to the championship, and sifinitely he was he was out there. Maybe he wasn't someone who was as well known, but these are well established handcuffs situated patients and if they could do one thing in this week's show. It's

implore you right now. It's it's action full information. You just get out there, brought your fourth quarterback, drop your ninth wide receiver, drop your third tight end or whatever it is where you have redundant extraneous death and take off that back handoffs right now, yo, speaking at that time of year, uh to show up Baseball base Winter touch it we keeping it hot in the winter meetings

show that's on in the streets. If you remember from Fantasy Free Style during the baseball season of we're both Yankee fans. We all know this, but Grissel to the Red Soxes do plaino in my opinion, because that gives them not one, not to but three sid young lefties in their rotation. When you have Sale twice and Porcella, we know the Red Sox can have. They surpassed leveland with the acquisition of Sale, it's the best team in

the American League. Yeah. I mean, what I would say, Speeds is that the Red Sox have remained one of the deeper farm systems in the league. And you see them give it up a pad of giving up this kid that throws a hundred and five, Well, again, they gave up a lot, but the Red Sox I think have re established themselves as clear cut when now mode. Honestly, though, the loss of Big Poppy is not something that's going to be ridiculously easy to replace. Today, they just signed Uh.

They signed Mitch Morelands to play on some first base on them. That's gonna move Handley to the DH all the time. You know, no it doesn't, But honestly, it's it's addition by subtraction, getting Hanley out of that, out of the outfield and Uh into the d H missions. I think honestly. They also signed Cog Cog to go with Wade Davis. The Red Sox are making moves in their Harrista publishing themselves. I think the team that's saying we want to be in that World Series next year, Cleveland.

You know, they did that all without mich Michael Brantley. Michael Brantley was really the pace of their franchise for the two years before he he went down with shoulder injury, couldn't really get right all year. He's gonna be another guy that's gonna contribute for them that didn't do much last year. It will be really interesting to see what they're able to do as free agency continues. But going back to our beloved Yanks, me and you have been

going back and forth. We didn't really talk about it, but we we've been texted a little bit. Uh Matt Holiday. Yeah, I'm not excited about Matt Holliday. I actually uh, I think he's just gonna block at bats from guys like Kyler Austin, guys like Greg Bird, guys like that, and judge guys like Rev. Snyder. I want I think this year is the last year of the turnover of Ronny Cashman's plan. This is where you you get the rest

of the money off the books. You know, the CC money comes off the books, and you're then you have in plying position. So what I would have liked to have done this year is let all the kids play, Let the sanchez Is play, you know, let everybody play, and then we're gonna be in a better position to see what it is that we want to invest our money in, and we would then be able to do so. I would have let all these twenty five year old arms, bitch, I want to see what we have and then I

make my move in the market. I actually think the Yankees will wind up in a couple of years with the Josh Donaldson and Bryce Harper, and that'll be the studs of a new of a new reign for the New York Yankes. But that is a long time away, especially with the Red Sox looking as dope at they do, you know, so we're definitely gonna keep holding you down with all these free agency moves what they mean. And

it is that time of the year though, Rispiens. You know, I'm starting to do a little bit of Christmas shopping to the wife for for my parents, my brother, and I was just thinking, you know, I was always a big sports fan. I was thinking back at some of the great presents I got as a kid growing up. You know, some of the things we're kind of sports related that really kind of made my childhood. Now we're really the dopest the best present I received in terms

of dollars spent by Santa Claus. He a, Mom and Dad, don't say that Santa Claus. Uh, Santa Claus, your kids bet could be playing that fantasy Um for real, that's the stuff. A long time to hope you got it, um yea, But I got probably and I want to say, it was like whenever it dropped Techmo Super super Bowl after the original Nintendo. It's made quite a comeback. In some of those commercial featuring Bo Jackson, Jack's probably played

games thou hours. What was your best sports related Christmas present that you received when you were growing up as a kid in the Bronx. You know, I like the ones you were talking about before. You know, love the Papa shot on the basketball group. But I have reminded because my mom still tells me the story of her waiting outside the back of a truck. Do you know what I'm saying to be able to get Mike Tyson's punched out back in the day. So that was a

big time game. I didn't like the Technical super Bowl, but I do remember the lengths that my mom said she went to and you know it fell off the truck for her in the end. I also like experiences over things with my friends, so I like getting tickets to games and stuff like that. I still do that. And that's where Rocks and Speeds are gonna do. We we go to the games. We hold her down with all this information. It is that time of year Rocks when we come back. Though it's going into Week fourteen.

These people need to know what to do to win their league and win that we cash. So that's what we're gonna do. And check it out. Yo. Uh I put my money where my mouth is. Rock said it before. As you know, I'm still playing. I have both Sharkantric West and D'Angelo Williams backing up my running backs hopefully though someone on the wave of wire. Hey, Rocks, you think someone can get one of those new Jersey State troop producers of that on Monday Night football. Yo, they

were covering ground and laying the boom. Yo. If you playing, I d be leaks. They have to have been the hottest waiver pick up word. I would use my waiver wire claim for that. And listen, I might still beat something. Check it out when we come back. When Rocks and Speeds are gonna do here on Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna drop stats over beats. On the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, We're gonna go game by game, tell you who to sit, who start, who to fade, and what you need to

do to make it happen. In we fourteen, Rocks and Speeds Fantasy Sports Radio Network come all right back. Hate them Fills, hay them Bills. Hello, you play to win the game, you don't play to just play it. You already know this is Rocks and Speeds were dropping stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We are getting you ready for a Week fourteen. There's a few games that we have interesting takes on

Rocks and Speeds. We gotta hold you down. The first game we want to look at, right, Rocks, is this Chicago Bears Detroit Lions. You know I've been on Jim Bob Boder the entire season and now low and beat old. The Detroit Lions are in first place. They are eight

and a half point favorites at home. I don't know, Rocks, for a team where Matthew Stafford has had to leave them back for seven of their wins when they were down in the fourth quarter, I don't see how they can be giving up eight and a half points in a division game, even against the team that is on its last legs at the Chicago Bears. How do you see this game, Rocks? I mean, I think probably a lot of that spread has got to look at how

well they did. Lions died on the road last week against the New Orleans team have been similar to the Detroit Lions, and that they've played a lot of close, tough games, whereas the Detroit Lions have won of those games but Saints have lost them. One thing I will say, Jim Bob Cooder, and that Detroit Lions offense have really really limited their turnovers. Matt Stafford has only thrown five picks on the year against twenty one touchdowns. That is incredible.

And they're doing that, They're being efficient, They're not actually producing it on the York's speed. Wouldn't shock you if I said that the Chicago Bears offense is actually averaging more yards per game than the Detroit Lions and that Jim Bob Cooterer, No, that would be a function of

garbage time yards in my opinion. And remember all the way back to the beginning of the year, Rocks, I told you that the evolution for Matthew Stafford would come from the fact that he would not have to focus in and force the ball into Megatron, thus being able

to take care of the ball more and utilize the like. So, no, they don't have a number one weapon, but they have four five weapons that are all legitimate and can create mismatches on a third corner or safety, whether it's Theo Rittick or Ricky Ron or I it's any one of their three wideouts, Golden Taid, Aguan Goolden or Marvin Jones Away do think will be back this week. On the Chicago side of things, Rocks, I like Cameron Meredith this week.

He is like the only healthy Chicago Bears wide receiver, you know, like any Royal and Mark Keiths Wilson, although he did return to practice later in the week, it might give it a go. I think Cameron Meredith is the wide receiver to own and had only fifty four hundred dollars that's margain basement against the Detroit Lions defense that is thirty feet in defensive dv O A despite holding you know, Drew Reas and the Don's only thirteen points. I think this Detroit defense can be had. I think

Cavern Meredith is the guy to do it. He's the only person I like on Chicago with the exception of you know, Jordan Howard when you run out and it's probably a back end RB one for the rest of the season. Yeah, I would definitely say and I would surprised me while I was looking into this game, Jordan Howard is actually tied for the league lead with some of those big names you would expect with five hundred

rushing yard games this season. That's that's that's despite the fact that he did not get hold of that backfield until a couple of games into the season. Jeremy Lankford, who showed up in a big way last week. I had him a couple of a couple of hash games that really paid off with the three touchdowns. And while that Detroit Lions defence has been pretty trash as a whole this year, they've improved a bit. One of the other things I just want to say to look at

real quickly in this one is Matt Barkley. We're speaking about, obviously, the teams that need to see what they have. I don't necessarily think that Matt Barkley is going to be the answer moving forward. I do think, though, that he has really performed admirably and a couple of starts this year.

Has a third string quarterback on a team where the first and second string quarterback were no hot stuff to begin with, very important games on the slates, not only in fantasy football, but in real football is what where you want to go? Yeah, I'm going to give you a hot second pack him long. John's get those construction tims with those little things where you smash them up and they keep your feet warm. Make sure you've got a lot of layers on that tour. So we're going

up to Buffalo. We're going up to Buffalo for the seven and five stealers against a six and six Bills. Teams to be eaves. I know that you like it when teams basically try to do opposite things to each other. The Bills want to run the ball. The Steelers make teams passed a funnel. Everything through the passing game, they really sat the box. What gives do you think in this one up north in Buffalo? We can't imagine it's going to be too nice to be in the stands.

It might not be nice to be in the stands, but I think both teams will be able to move the ball. The Buffalo offense is underrated in my opinion, although I will say this news out of Buffalo this week that they are not sure if they want to commit to Tyrod Taylor UM beyond two thousand seventeen. Tyrod Taylor to me as a classic example of someone who is a better real quarterback than fantasy quarterback. You know, um Tyrod Taylor only getting you know what, ninety one

yards last week. He does get the rushing touchdowns to the Salvages day, but I would ride Shady McCoy in this game. I think they're gonna ride Shady McCoy. I think even though the Steelers are six in the NFL and on defense to give up only ninety two yards a game, I don't think Anthony Lynn cares. Anthony Lynn is making his living off of Shady McCoy and he

will continue to do so. And if it's for excited things, you know exactly what you're gonna get from Big Ben, from Left Bell and from maybe I would like to say that yet another week, I would like to call my shot like I do on Shot Follers on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and tell you that la Darius

Green is not going anywhere. After his six catch, undred in ten yard and a touchdown performance last week, I think he is another game where he is involved in the Steeler's offense will potentially get in the end zone, becoming a big time red Zoe target down the stretch for big Ben, and I like him again this week. Again, if you do not have Gronk, if you are worried about Jordan Reek, the Darius Green is the tight end you use. That's how I see this, Dame Rock, Yeah, man,

I really like. Obviously, there's there's nothing not to like about Levi on Bell's seasons from the point coming back after the three game suspension and picking right back where

he left off as the focal point in that offense. However, he's only got three rushing touchdowns on the year compared to nine for Lashawn McCoy, and LaShaun mcoy has been he's he's really had a great year, and I think when we take a step back from the season as another guy who missed some time, you're really gonna look at Lashawn McCoy as being one of the true fantasy studs. One thing I will say is that I think positive

touchdown regression is coming for Leban Bell. The Steelers have had the least goal to go plays in the entire NFL. That's obviously because Big Ben has been throwing so many of those long touchdowns to the likes of Antonio Brown, early in the season. It was Sammy coach. You even saw Darius Hayward Bay getting with a couple of those.

I think that you're gonna see that regress of it, and you're gonna see actually more touchdowns in a fantasy playoff from Levian Bell, adding to an already ridiculous floor. Buttress Yacht said it again. Buttress by his average of seven receptions again, which is third in the NFL. That's not for running backs and that's for everyone. My man is averaging seven catches a week, and I think he's the second best play this week other than David Johnson

on the Arizona Cardinals. He let's keep it moving. We gotta go to this Sunday night football game where it's a big NFC East match up. Okay, Dallas Cowboys New York Giants. You know they do not like each other, um um. One thing on each side rocks And for me on the Giant side, I keep an eye out for Paul Perkins because I thought this was all Jennings. But Paul Perkins got seven garries uh last week, one

more than Rashad Jennings. He's actually part of this offense again, so not so fast thinking it was all Rashan Jennings backfield. I would fade the Shan Jennings that they want faul Perkins to get some touches in a cold night on a Sunday night late in the season. They're gonna rotate both of their backs on the Dallas side. My one point is something that to bring it back to the

top of the show. But we said, all these guys that got to be on Alfred Morris, it's already owned in if you own Zeke Elliott and you are in the playoffs, you need to own alf Morris this way, just in case you don't go down in a sack of flame, saying what if that's what you gotta worry about for Sunday Night Football, Hey, Rocks, one of one or two things you're looking at in this Sunday Night Football NFC East matchup. I'm gonna piggyback off what you just said there. Zeke O ready has ten games of

twenty plus carries. That's the most for rookie since Eddie Lacy did it. And we talked about this in our prest season episode, Rocks. We talked about this, thinking about they were going to wear him out and not saying Dallas to say they're not going to take their foot off the gas pedal. But again, touches are great for running back. Every time you touch the ball, you're at risk for injury. So do the right things. Lock up

Ralph Morris, they call him out. Another thing I'd say, I think Odell Beckham is going to have a great game in this one. He's actually accounted for us alid one quarter of all of the New York Giants yards from scrimmage this year. That's the highest in the league. He's playing against a Dallas Cowboys defense that's been stomping out the run. In the Giants run game this week to begin with, they're actually allowing sevent of their yards

through the air. I was not a math major in college, but I'm saying that when I add those two percentages together, multiplied them, and then do a regression analysis, I'm thinking this is a recipe for Odell Beckham to wind up with over a hundred yards through the air and a touchdown.

And also, yes, just just to the last thing in excel, he's gonna have one ridiculous touchdown celebration in prime if always said there would be no math on the Fantasy Freestyle, we drop stats over beats and then do the regression analysis for you. There you have it, rockson Speeds highlighting are three biggest games of the week that we think there's some important things for you to check out when

we come back. We're gonna do because we're gonna bless you like we always do on the Fantasy Freestyle, not only dropping statue overbeats, but also giving you our game flow genius. Are diamonds in the rough and what else rocks are? We gonna give them our fantasy gazies. That fits into our common core curriculum. That's right, you get about it. You know robson Speeds dropping statue rebeats on the Fantasy Freestyle. You can catch us now a Saturday's

on the Fantasy Sports Radio networks. You could also catch us on that audio boom, on that stitcher, on that Google Play. You could also subscribe to us on iTunes, just like any championship calender line up. This way, you subscribe, you said it, you should get it. You get Rocks and Speeds every week dropping stats over beats to the

Fantasy Freestyle. You can also follow us on Twitter Fantasy Freestyle leave off the last see because we don't make any errors on the Fantasy Freestyle, Rocks and Speeds always making you money. You can send us to questions. We'll answer them in a mailbag. Definitely next week week fift team. But we're gonna be right back. Give you are flagship segments, Rocks and Speeds dropping stats over bet to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Keep it right here.

I would rather play with ten people and just get penalized all the way until we got to do something else, rather than play with eleven when I know that right now that person is not fold out to be a part of his teams. I cannot play with him, cannot win with him, cannot coach with him, can't do it. You know what's good, it's your void Rocks, one young fist full of rings. I'm here with my man Speeds. We are the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. If you're a longtime listener, you know when me and Speeds bursted on the scene, we had a segment that people couldn't get get enough of. And that's our diamonds in the rough and wazies about it how and looked a different seconds, Yez. And those rings, those diamond rings that rocksm On rocks those diamond rings of the type of things to help you win your league and win that. So I've got a couple of guys this week. I'm gonna start with one that he's coming

off of by. He's He's not the cheapest tight end. He's kind of a kind of middle of the pack. I really liked Laney Walker this week. You know, despite missing a game, he actually leads tight ends in touchdown receptions with six and he actually scored in three or four games before Tennessee and went into their by. Denver has been brutal against opposing passing games, but largely that's been their complete ability down corners to Detroit everything on

the outside. They give up a little bit of work to the tight end position, and I think Mariota has got to know his best option is he's shown throughout the season, is going to be Delaney Walker. I really like him to post a solid line this week. Looking at about five catches, let's call it sixty five yards, he's gonna get in the end zone. Spike that football Laney Walker for on fan do Well. I like him that's a diamond rank that's gonna shine in Tennessee. Oh.

I like that. I like that called Rocks. You check it out. My first diamond in the rough. And uh, I think this is the week I gotta predicated with this. I think this is the week where it happens. Rocks. You know what I'm talking about. The Cleveland Browns get their first and maybe only win of the season. If not now, then when we can win a came Here's

what I'm saying, Rocks. Yo, They're coming off by they are at home against a divisional opponent that they know a little bit, a divisional opponent that has been decimated by injuries in the Cincinnati Bengals. And I think they get a little infusion from r G three, that little short term boost at home. I think the way they do it is by him connecting deep with his wide outs on the outside. He has some weapons on the outside. Remember back in pre season, but we were talking about

the big play potential of the Cleveland Browns. It has not come to pass. Many people know about Terrell Prior what they don't know about as much as Corey Coleman. This guy has come back from a Loucan arm earlier in the season and is an explosive weapon. I think they connect for a long touchdown and put it down

Corey Coleman. The Bailer connection with r G three put down Corey Coleman for five catches over a hundred yards and a touchdown, and that is value at DFS who that is a pure diamond what you need to then go ahead and buy those holiday presents for your fam That's a diamond in the rough. Corey Coleman. Yeah. I like that tweets and that kind of actually touches off of something that we were talking about the top of the show about teams really needing to see what they

have in some of their young guys. There's no reason why the Cleveland Browns wouldn't do a little more to get the ball to that rookie white out who has flashed at times. My call, uh for my second and diamond is a guy that had shouted out last week did not go my way. It feels a little weird, you know, I'm outside of my comfort zone here, but

I'm gonna rock with it. I do not think that Colin Kaepernick is going to be nearly as highly owned this week at seventy three dollars on fan dwell in tournament games as he should people go away to play him snow effort. You don't think people throw it away because it was a snow game. I don't know, man, how many people really know that? How many people are

paying that clothes were so bad? His stats were so bad he got benched for Blade Gabbett, you know, which is just one of the most humiliating sentences you can never hear said about in Reevs look like an old man who wants to give up football, So you never know speed. If we talk about the memes that there's a crying Jordan's I would kind of like I challenge everybody out there totally, including our boy young Leland, who

make memes. Can we get old Revus? It's like, you know, like something something it's passing by Revus, you know, like Rivus is at the library and the Internet's happening, you know, old Reevs. I'm just putting it out there. How does how does an island kay maybe the eroding island, the eroding island that's good to yet get like a polar bear on an ice on a little yes, that global warming has affected global warming and Father Time are both undefeated.

Joe for sure, um check it out, man, I got one more diamond in the rough, and I'm both consistent. I'm being consistent here. I'm going with another Coleman. I'm going with Tevin Coleman. In that Atlanta l A Rams game, I think Tevin Coleman growing in his role. He had twelve carries for forty nine in yards, which is actually

almost even with Devonte Freeman who got fifteen carries. It was Freeman who got the touchdowns with those things are fluky, and I like Coleman out of the run game, and I think in a game against the Rams where the Rams are one of those teams that have packed it in because their head coach can't even find the challenge flag and his damn jacket, I think Atlanta needs this game.

And I think Atlanta gets this game because their number one offense in the NFL that towards thirty two points a game is going up against the Rams defense that people think is stout, but there's only fifteen in the league at defensive t v O A. I think Coleman gets in the end zone, in the end zone and gets over seventy seventy five combining yards. I think he turns nice value. Tevin Coleman is another diamond in the rough. Week fourteen, gets your playoff money with Tevin Coleman. You know,

for every diamonds there's a food gaze. Actually take that back, For every diamond there's many, many many. I'm gonna shout out a couple of wide receivers that I do not really really think are worth their price this week, and it's funny because both of them scored a touchdown last week. The first one I'm gonna shout out is Devonte Parker on the Miami Dolpins six hundred dollars. He was banged up last week with bad back. A lot of people

were saying he probably was going to be inactive. Surprisingly, he did play props to him. He came through score a touchdown. However, the Cardinals defense number three in the league against the past, and he is drawing the toughest and matchup out of all of them. He is going to be matched up as their top outside wide receiver against a ton of Patrick Peterson on Sunday. That's what we like to call a match up to avoid Peterson.

His pro football focus is number eleven corner. Out of a hundred twenty two, he was only given up two touchdowns and coverage. All season. We've seen a little more versatility out of Parker as he's gotten more mature in this league, but he remains a big play threat and took someone who's largely needs to score a touchdown to

basically return value. I also, I will point out, and don't get a twisted I'll pointed out, while Miami is a slight favorite in this game, the Cardinals have really been terrible this year, going from the West to the East. I do not think, however, that's going to extending Patrick Peterson. I think he locks Parker down and he's a food gazzey who returns to no fool value with the garbage after sixty seven hundred dollars on famed wealth. Forget about

how you look a different seconds fake? What forget about it? You hear Rocks throwing shade at Miami. Let me ask you something, Rock, Does that mean you like Jarvis Landry Instead? Jarvis Landry got back to his old ways with eleven catches last week. Like do you think they attack the number two? Like? Who then does produce? Or is this a case where the Arizona Cardinals go west to east and just shut down the Miami offense altogether. I know you've been back in mark on Jis throughout the year.

I mean I've been down on Jarvis Landry. If anybody, where do you go with Miami or do you see the Cardinals just dominating in this one? Maybe a lot of this for this game. It depends on how healthy to Ron Matthew really is. If he is banged up, I think, or or if definitely if he sits, I think that Landry has a much better matchup. Landry, also

in fantasy, has shown a ridiculously consistent high floor. Not every single week, but I like Landry against the banged up Matthew a lot more than I like DeVante Parker against Patrick Peterson. I am fading J I J I E. He had those great he had those great games early in the season. The back to back two hundreds with the Arizona Cardinals are very, very very tough against the run, no slouch against the pass either, and this is a

tough matchup for Miami. Dolphins offense completely embarrassed itself in a meltdown last week against Ball of the I'm fading the mall alright, so I would think that is the right way to do it. I also think Arizona, who still maybe you know, got off the mad last week. I think they might still bring in a little bit

better than that Adams offense. UM. My first fogazz to forget about is a wide receiver who you know started the year real hot, coming back from injury, looked like a true wide receiver one and has then been a fugazy for the last few weeks. And that is Kelvin Benjamin of the Carolina Panthers. I do not like him, even though he's in a matchup against the Chargers, UM and I expected to be a high storing game He's in. Both of these scenes on some level have been reduced

to the long ball. You know, Philip Rivers throwing bombs to Tyrelle Williams getting big plays from your boy and my boy dontrelle In benn And and the Panthers are sort of the same, you know, they take their shot down field with Ted Jr. Calvin Benjamin caught a big bomb a couple of weeks ago. But check this out. Since week two, Kelvin Benjamin only got over eighty yards twice. Since we to Kelvin Benjamin has only gotten into the end zone twice since week to. Calvin Benjamin has only

had more than five catches twice. Last week, he only put two out of nine targets for eighteen yards. Rob Rivera admitted this week that they probably have rushed in back. I don't think that that's the move they're gonna be going olson. They're gonna be using a little bit more punches. They're gonna be trying to hit uh Tedgan Jr. Over the top. I do not think this is a week for Calvin Benjamin. If you're in your playoffs, do not

like the shiny name. Do not hold on to what happened in the first couple of weeks of the season. Kelvin Benjamin is now with you can do better. Don't trust it. It's a trap, Jame. I agree with a lot of what you said. However, I don't really understand where Ron Rivera is going. It seems to me like they're looking for someone to blame for what's been basically a lost season in Carolina. You know that they're permit their procurial quarterbacks. To me, seeing he's like the main uh.

The main reason, however, he's obviously got a lot more of a platform to defend himself. I understand Rivera not wanting to get into it with him, but YO, when you rush someone sitting back, in my mind, generally they fail in the beginning and then they kind of get their footing under them. I haven't heard about Benjamin really dealing with any injuries. I haven't really heard a lot

about his knee even really needing to be managed. If anything, I think this is as much on the coach Chicken staff as it is on the players outside of Cam New And I don't really think that's a smart move for Rivera to try and throw his third year wide receiver under the bus. Rocks throw in shade at Riverboat run here as we drop stats over beats. It's the

fantasy freestyle of the Fantasy sports radio network. We got a couple of other people to avoid here in week four teams we call him the fantasy from Gazes Rocks Wellson. We got to forget them out in week fourteen, unless I know one forgot for for first, I gave you the Savante, Now I'm gonna give you Dante mon creep creep in the Cave sixty on fan Well, looks bright, looks shiny, and that's largely because he has scored a

touchdown in all five of his last games. His six touchdowns are actually tenth in the league, however, and that seems like an argument for but I'm gonna give you the other side of the coin. They're ridiculous reliant on those touchdowns. In fact, more than half of his fantasy production is coming from inside of the red zone, which you wouldn't be okay except as a weekly floor without a touchdown. In fact, he's only gotten an average of forecatch.

He looked nice, But let's be real, not Chris Carter's not gonna score a touchdown every single week. And I think that this is the we that actual defectives are fifth in the league against the past. You see Clowney backup practice, going to help out with that pass. Ruch a big and I'm fav him this week. I'm satura days ahead. This is the week to touchdown streak and

forget about fatum yo. I don't know Robs, you know anybody who listens to not only Fantasy Freestyle but also shot followers on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, knows that Spiece has been statistician is always high on the Crief and I would be willing to make a gentleman's bet with you that this week in a big game in the a f C South where the Houston Texans, whose past defense is decent, and I like Kareem Jackson, but Kareem Jackson will be on t Y Hilton and I

like Moncrief in the number two matchup, I would be willing to bet that Dante Moncrief this week gets either a touchdown like he usually does, or he will go for over eighty yards receiving. You push that number up to nine and you've got a gentleman's better. I think

that's a wrap. You know he's gonna either in Week fourteen get a touchdown to continue that streak and make him reliable, or he will make it okay because of the yards because in what he has not done in the last couple of weeks, if he doesn't get in the end zone, he will get over ninety yards. That's

a gentleman's beat for a Week fourteen. He shall ceo Yo Rocks, I got a fool gazing interesting We went all wide receiver addition for the fantasy fool gazes on Fantasy Freestyle, all the Fantasy Sports radio network, and I got a big boy to let them know this is someone who is probably in my opinion, I know a lot of people say Antonio Brown, people like Odell Beckham. For my money, this is the best wide receiver in

the NFL. And I'm talking about Julio Jones. I'm talking to him about coming off a game where he had seven catches for a hundred and thirteen yards. Here's my concerns this week for Julio. He has been back and forth all year, pendulum swinging. He is now dealing with the turf toe. He even gave an interview earlier in the week said, you know, it's not that he's hurt is he's general aches and pains and pulls. He's talking like uh, he's talking like Megatron post post retirement. I

don't like it. Remember I told you I had a diamond in Tevin Coleman in this game. I think he's gonna take a larger share of production. I think there's a lot of other places you can go. I know you like Tyler Decoy. What's that Juglio? Is it decoy? This week speech yes, you know, I've been calling that before. They have used Julio as a decoy before. I think after the long plane flight, that doesn't help the aches and pains either to get to l A. I think this is more of a decoy week than they blow

up and be amazing week. Do not pay for the points. Rocks will tell you when you pay for the points, when you chase the points, the points start running. I think that's what's gonna happen with Julio Jones this week. I think he unfortunately is a fool gaze. He forget about him just four week four team saving word now. I think, honestly, it's been tough to really pin down Atlanta the season. Like they started ridiculously hot, they've cooled

off a bit. Julio is also, even in some of his bigger weeks than a little bit allergic to the end zone. You know a little bit of Andre Johnson in his last week seven catches a hundred thirteen yards, but he didn't get any end zone, So edges to see how it plays out that game script plays out. You can definitely see the Falcons getting ahead big in that game and kind of taking their foot off the gas.

Battle against the Rams team that is just you know, hoping to know the main key players on the other team and where the challenge flag is. That that would be a step in the right direction for that dumpster fire of a franchise where the GM and Jeff Fisher were both extended. Horrible, crazy crazy Yo, Rocks, we got more thing. We gotta get it too, over game, more diamonds in the rough, We get more fantasy fool gazes.

We also, you know, we let them know because we can not only tell you what players to do, we also call these games for you. We let you know and with a different game flow from certain people that we think are going to be in prime position to pop off for you in Week four teams when you're leaking with that cash, Rock, those are the game flow geniuses. Who's your first game flow genius this week? To give to the people? Week four teen, people are depending on you,

Rock Cliss. They got playoff matchups at stake Yo. And since people are depending on me, and since when Rocks and speed Needs agree, that's when you can win your league and win that cash, I'm gonna put forward someone I think you may be in agreement with. Before I put out someone. I think me and you are not necessarily gonna see high too high on my first game flow genius is Brandon Cooks on the road against a Tampa Bay team that has been putting off points and

looking pretty good. Brandon Cooks is only sixty three hundred. Michael Thomas has missed some time this week with a foot injury. His reps are gonna be managed. I think in this game, if he goes, if he sits, I would bump Brandon Cooks way, way, way up. Yes, we understand he's much better in the Dome, but Tampa Bay is very, very middle of the road as far as a p defense is concerned, and Drew Brees has proven even on the road this season he's able to exploit

those matchups. I also think that Tampa Bay is gonna be up in this game. And you have not seen the Saints ever stick to a ground game when they're behind. Hell, they hardly stuff to a ground game in the games that they've been winning. They're gonna be trailing early, they're gonna stay trailing. Brandon Cooks, the big story a couple of weeks ago, wasn't targeted. He made some noise last week the squeaky wheel got the grease. Has happened so

often with these DIVA wide receivers. He turned nine targets into seven catches for seventy three yards. Didn't get in the end zone, but that's a solid fantasy day. He is a big play waiting to happen, and he also does work in the screen game. An intermediate game. Tampa Bay is actually allowing the third most passing plays of twenty plus yards in the league to wide receivers. I think that vote is really, really, really well for him.

I think you can get Brandon Cooks this week as your wider keeper too for a wide receiver three price with wide receiver one upside. And a lot of that is because of the way I think that game script is gonna play out sixty dollars. Brandon Cooks on fan dwell, do it now, thank me later, no doubt. Rocks on an interesting call. That game that's Saints Bucks game down in Tampa has an over under of fifty one. You

gotta like games with over unders in the fifties. I'm gonna stay in that same game because I think that's gonna be a back and forth game. I also like Tampa Bay. Remember they are hot and they need to try and win this game to keep pace with the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. I like that game, and I want to really help people out because I think the tight end position could be hurting some people

these days. Rob Gronkowski out Jordan read Shoulder. He might give it a go, but he's probably been a lot of paidly limited in this game. In this game, I really like Cameron break. Okay, Cameron Braid is a guy on Tampa Bay Bucks. He went six or eighties six, got in the ends old last week. This guy has quietly become I think a top ten tight end and he is seven owned. That means you and your boys right now that are at the bar, there's four of you. One of you are in a lead right now where

Cameron Braid is unowned. And if you are also that dude and you don't have Rob Gronkowski, you can thank me later. I think against this Saints defense, which is thirtieth in the NFL, giving up twenty seven point nine points a game, I think Jamis Winston has found something of a comfort level with Cameron Braid, and I like that connection. I think they're gonna get in the end zone and return some value for you. Cameron Braid, I

think it's an incredible value for you. Um on those daily sites east of someone I'd look for, especially on Cephermow he is he is unowned in places. Go get him game flow. That's gonna be a back and forth game. I like the over on the over under of fifty one, and I like Jamis Winston to Cameron. That's my game flow genius the week fourteen Rockston I like and Braid is also a guy who has been seeing Uh. He's getting a lot of targets on the routes that he's running.

Earlier in the season he wasn't seeing quite as many targets fight as HI have a percentage. I really like that. They've got to go somewhere other than Mike Devil, Mike Evans with cecil shorts. Humphreys has been he's had a concussion. Who knows his status in terms of the room. Cameron hundred fifty six hundred on Fan Duel this week. Remember I give you tight ends every week, Rocks. You liked it. How I gave you Ladarius Green last week he went six for one head and a touchdown. I give you

these tight ends. You're like, oh, I need to write that down this week, Cameron bread hundred, write it down right now. I'm telling you he's the man this week. Yo. Uh, I don't disagree with that, but where is the game flow? Jeeus, Baby, I'm gonna say something that I wounna say. I think

I'm gonna say something. I think you're gonna disagree with um that I heard you the other day middle of the week on Shot Follers, which you do Monday Wednesday Friday on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network live from Rock Riley's at a seven o'clock East There, I heard you draw on I'm a lot babbic the shade on a player you've been throwing shade on all year, and that's Jeremy Hillar. Listen, I understand he had a really really tough week last week against a tough in front seven

and before that in a really really tough week. Is the Baltimore Ravens run defense who is actually the number one run defense in the league. And listen, I'll say right off the bat, he hasn't been that great this season, but I'm gonna give him a pass in those matchups and I'm gonna say, at dollars against the Browns team that's thirty feet against the run, that we believe even though you think it's a trap game, Hello, have absolutely nothing to play for. I think he is going to

run rough shot over them. He destroyed this defense on less than ten carries earlier in the season. There's no geo, there's no time sharing. He's already guy seven touchdowns on the season. I think he's gonna get in the end zone at least once this week. He's gonna hile up yards in the second half as the Cincinnati Fangals sold this game and run the Cleveland Browns into the ground and can kinue their streak of losses. Jeremy Hill believe

it now, Yeah, you're right. I disagree with you. I mean you say there's no time shaw, there actually is a time share somehow. Rex Birkehead is getting carries, getting eight carries last week, getting more yards on the ground than Jeremy Hill. Jeremy Hill, like you claimed earlier in the episode Rocks when you said Dante Moncrief was touchdowns dependent, Jeremy Hills touchdowns depended. You take away his touchdown last week. He had twenty three carries for thirty three yards. That's

why there is a time shower. Let's broadhead, and you're right. I do see this game just a little bit differently. I think the Cleveland Browns targetna not only stay competitive, but when the spread and maybe even win their first game of the year. So I you think that there will be no salting away of it for Jeremy Hill. Yes, to Cleveland Brown's defense is horrible. But if you're talking gentleman's name your terms, brother, man, I mean, I'll just I'll just bet you that coin that he went the

game hunt of that. Let's leave Jeremy Hill out of it. Man. That's fine. We already have one gentleman's bed for this week. We gave you our flagship segments are Dimonds in the rough, our game flow geniuses, and our full gazis. We told you all the games that we really wanted to spotlight here in week fourteen.
