Episode description

Dane Martinez has the right stats over beats for the Fantasy cipher! Speedz has his top play for DFS in Week 15, obviously thinking Nick Foles could be a big- time play. Looking at some home underdogs, Dane seems to think the Raiders are desperate enough to win outright, and says maybe the Giants play a game that finishes closer than 7.5 points against the Eagles. #FNTSY #NFL #Week15 #TNF #DFS #Eagles #Giants #Cowboys #Raiders #Falcons #Bucs #Browns #Ravens #EliManning #NickFoles #DakPrescott #ZackErtz #MattRyan #JulioJones #ItSanuDay

against the Eagles. Is it the Browns who are getting a touchdown at home against the Baltimore Ravens, The Oakland Raiders on Sunday Night Football, Prime time National Spotlight home dog? Are the Oakland Raiders are getting a full field goal against the Dallas Cowboys. It's not like they have Ezekiel Elliott coming back or anything. I like the Oakland Raiders

Dane Martinez, the Spitting statistician taking you into the weekend. What could be a semi final weekend, it could be a championship weekend. So we gotta make sure we help out the stats over beat Cipher. We're gonna get into the news and notes around the NFL, the injury reports. We're gonna talk which home do because I think you could lay it a little bit of cash

to make your cash grow for the holiday season. We'll do a DFS lineup and we will take your calls, will read the YouTube stream. We'll try and hook everybody up in advance of a huge weekend. Listen, last week, I was on a bike, so I was chilling. This week, I'm nervous with everybody. I'm sweating it out with you guys. So you know what I wanna do. I want to set the tone in a positive light. First. And when I talk about the lights, oh you know what time

it is, It's time to light the minora. All right, here we go, it is time to light the menora. It is officially going to become the fourth night. I'm working on my prayer. Okay, so everybody on a Friday, does that mean because it's sundown, it's it's officially the Sabbath. If it is, I better get this right, okay, Baroka doni luinu melek alamu Bama volta vits ivanu lejacknahelle hanaka bang. It is officially the fourth night of Hanaga, the fourth

of eight crazy nights. Hit me up on the YouTube stream and let me know if I'm getting a little bit better as we do the prayer. We got a couple of more days, and we get in presents all of those days. I did not give you a present in the way that I called Thursday night football, I must admit. But listen, honestly, who thought that brock Osweiler would come out? He had a ninety nine point four qb R. This is on a scale of one to

a hundred. He had a ninety nine point four q BR Brock going twelve of seventeen yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, another rushing touchdown. And let me tell you something. The defense was into it, smiling. He looked like he was actually leading the team, like he was seizing this opportunity. Listen, if you thought that was gonna happen, I tipped my cap to you. It was a much different game earlier. On the one thing. I will say that I did have right. I had Jack Doyle as my diamond in

the rough. He turned out being the leading receiver for the Indianapolis Colts last night with seven catches for forty seven yards. And I gotta say this other thing about Thursday Night Football real quick. I like the skycam angle that they had. I thought that was really cool. They were talking about it from like a gamer perspective. If you play Madden that is the camera angle that they used. But I thought it was actually very important to see

some things in the game. I thought you could see how throws out the quick outs out to the flat, how hard of a throw that is to make without a corner back undercutting it. I also thought this was great to see when the running backs were bouncing around and choosing which hole they wanted to Did they want to try to take it outside? Did? I thought it was a great view to see it in this north south angle instead of the horizontal angle you usually see.

I actually think that was a great look for the NFL. I would not be mad if they use more of that camera angle. Let me know what you think about that camera angle, whether it's your hollerin at me on this show on the YouTube chat or on Twitter at Spitting Speeds Alright. News and notes from around the NFL. We got Adrian Peterson for the Cardinals has been sent to injured reserve I are because of that next issue. Looks like Kirwin Williams will be the back for the

Arizona Cardinals as they take on the Washington football team. Also, we saw brock Oswiler come in. It is because Trevor Simeons dislocated his shoulder. He is done for the season as well. And in New York, the Jets have left Moe Wilkerson home for their trip to take on the Saints in New Orleans. This is a guy that's been late to meetings, not really a positive force in the chemistry of that team. So the Jets decided to save you know, keep him there in New York. They're sending

him home. That could mean even more love for a guy like mark Ingram This week, all right, not practicing today? I think the big one. DeAndre Hopkins did not practice today with that toe injury. Remember yesterday I told you gotta keep an eye on today's practice. Well, de did not practice. You know, I hate the Lake week ads and Here's the thing. I owned d Hoop myself, so I'm really hoping he's playing. It sounds like he will play and tough at out. Bill O'Brien, their coach, says

he's playing, and listen, you still gotta startom. I don't care if his toe is hurt. I don't care if he's up against Jacksonville. You've seen DeAndre Hopkins. He is the wide receiver too. In fantasy this year, you gotta run him out. I still endorsed running him out. Tevin Coleman did not practice today. He is still in the concussion protocol. He's got an extra day because remember the Falcons play on Monday Night football. But this could be

a whole lot of Devonte Freeman on Monday Night. Here are the legitimate kind of questionables or guys that are doubtful. I told you about this, Kyle Rudolph, the red zone Reindeer, with that ankle injury. They're saying he's doubtful. They said he was out, but now they're saying doubtful. Let me tell you something. He ain't playing. So in response, I

boost up Stephen. Can you digs it? You know about Adam Feeling Dix hasn't been doing it lately, but with no Kyle Rudolph, maybe that's a couple of more opportunities in the red zone for Stefon digs Um. Damian Williams is doubtful. He's probably not gonna play. He did practice with the shoulder, but I think it's all Kenyan Drake still. Joe Mixon is back, not add percent hasn't cleared the

protocol um saying could be said with Giovanni Bernard. He's also questionable, So you're gonna probably have a little bit of a committee there. In Cincinnati, Matt Forte is a legitimate game time decision as those Jets take on the Saints. If he doesn't go, I guess that's a boom for our guy, boom boom, bilal pal pal, But they still got Elijah McGuire in there. I stay completely away from the Jets running backs because I also expect them down and throwing in garbage time. Leonard for net this is

a big one with that quality. Did not practice all week. He's gonna be a game time decision. I gotta tell you something. If he's out, and the question is is it ivory? Is it yelled in I would go with neither of them. I would like other guys like Kirwin Williams, like Mike Davis, like some J. P. Ryan ahead of these guys because they could become a committee backing up for Net if he can't go. Kelvin Benjamin is gonna be a game time decision, although they say they feel

good about him playing for the Buffalo Bills. Juju Smith Schuster also questionable in Baltimore. Mike Wallace he's practicing, they say he's playing. Adam feeling good to go for the Vikings, Alvin Kamara good to go for the Saints after he cleared the concussion protocol, and they have removed Shady McCoy for the injury report. Big shout out to my guys young cause in the effect with that Shady song. By the way, I will continue to big them up. Shady

has been removed from the injury report. He's good to go for the Buffalo Bills. However, uh Amari Cooper out week fifteen. Alan Hearns still out for the Jacksonville Jaguars. So you could fire up D. D. Westbrook and Mark Keasley. All Right, I told you that I got it wrong on the Home Dogs as it related to the Indianapolis Colts. I think I was on my way to have it at just fine until brock Oswiler blew up and kind of put it in everybody's I trying to seize that

job moving forward. But there's a couple of interesting home dogs that I want to talk about, and they're up on the poll. Okay, so you could follow me at spitting speeds and see that on the poll. The New York Giants are seven and a half point underdogs at home against the Eagles. Listen, do I think Nick Foles blows them out? Sort of? I think the Eagles are a much better team. I think they rally around Nick Foles. And here's the other thing the Giants like last week

was their win one for the Gipper at home? And what the Cowboys do? They came in and Dak Prescott had a career day and they beat them by twenty points. I think Nick Foles and the Eagles can do the same thing. I'm comfortable laying the points with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Browns are getting seven at home against the Ravens. I think this could be a kind of backdoor cover. This is a division matchup. I see a kind of

closer match up here. I think the Ravens win the game, but I don't buy the Ravens offense as prolific enough. I know they put up thirty plus against the Steelers last week, but I don't think that happens all the time. Okay, So because of what I expect to be a low scoring game, I think seven is a lot. I can see a backdoor cover here, so I would take the points in the Cleveland Browns at home. They've been much

more feisty, shall we say, at home. I love the Oakland Raiders as to be quite honest, I think the Raiders can win outright. They're gonna see the two teams ahead of them in the a f C West play on Saturday Night. They're gonna know going into this game that if they get a win, they are still viable in the a f C playoff race. They're at home, they got the black hole in a primetime game. I actually think the Raiders can win outright. I do not

see Dak putting it up like that. I know the Raiders defense in the in the past game can be had, but he's not gonna do what he did up against the Giants. In my opinion, I like the Raiders and the last one the Bucks versus the Falcons. I like the Bucks plus six on Monday Night football. Okay, the Bucks and the Falcons always played tight, close games. I think the Bucks are playing for jobs. If you want to know the truth, I would take the points in

that one. Check this out. The Saints are getting sixteen points. They are sixteen point favorites against the Jets, and you know what I would pass. I wouldn't play that game. But I think you can lay the points against the Jets. I see this as like a thirty to ten kind of game, a twenty seven ten kind of game. I think you could lay the points there. I don't see Bryce Petty and the Jets scoring much against this much improved defense of New Orleans the Jags. I think you

can lay the points there. They're giving up eleven points to the Texans and t J Yates. I think this is gonna be DeAndre Hopkins and nothing else. I think they can take some of that away. I think that Blake Bortles is starting to get his sense of what he needs to do as a game manager. I like that as well. Also, I think you can lay the points. With the Minnesota Vikings, they're double digit point spreads against.

Since I think they return home and I think they make a statement put it on the UH Cincinnati Bank. So I think with most of these you can lay all the points when we come back. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna talk d f S. I'm gonna give you my DFS lineup for week fifteen, and i'm gonna tell you my diamonds and food gazes for two of the bigger games on the slate this Sunday. We're gonna do all that on the fourth night of Hanukkah right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning

Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hit that LFE button by the way, Okay, how am I doing with the prayer? You think you've

Fantasy Gold Saturdays four to six pm Easter Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Dame Martinez, sliding you into the weekend for a week fifteen. We got playoffs on the line. We got you know, people might have their secret Santa's going on their holiday parties, so we gotta try and win a little bit of cash. I just talked about

some of the home dogs. I said, I like the Raiders has the best chance to win outright, and forty four percent of you agree, thinking the Raiders at plus three against the Cowboys could be a good play. All right, check it out. We're gonna talk a little bit of DFS right now. I gotta line up. I want to share with you for a week fifteen if you need a little bit of extra holiday cash, and here's what

you could do. You can go on over tot www dot Fantasy Factor dot com if you don't want to compete against these guys with fifty lineups and their algorithms. We love Fantasy Factor dot com, single entry tournaments, smaller prize pools, smaller tour tournaments, so that you could really dip your toe in the DFS water and went a little bit of extra cash for the holidays. You know, we're also doing the free roll over there with d

k MS at Daily Roado dot com. There's only two more chances, guys for you to win a weekly free roll. Get to Week seventeen of the finals, and if you win that, you get tickets for two up to the big Game in Minnesota with Justin timber Lake. At halftime, let me talk about this DFS lineup that I'm working on here for this week. I gotta tell you, guys, at quarterback, I'm going to this game, the New England Pittsburgh game. I'm going big Ben. I'm going Big Ben

on fan duel at eight thousand. Listen, this guy is coming off a five hundred yard outing. You know, he's had multiple touchdowns in five straight games and it is getting you know, harmonious over there. All of his weapons should be back. I know Juju is questionable. I think he's gonna go. Antonio Brown is being talked about as an m VP candidate Levy on Bell leads the league in rushing. I think this offense is rounding into form.

So I like Big Ben. And remember they were my a f C pick to come out for the Super Bowl. So I gotta like the Steelers in this game to get home field advantage and really get a leg up on New England. So I'm going with a big Ben And then when we talk about stack right, you gotta stack him up. I like Antonio Brown, Antonio Brown. I'm paying up the money for Antonio Brown. I mean, this is the safest floor in the NFL in my opinion.

Every single week he is doing it. Business is absolutely booming against what is still the twenty nine rank past defense. I mean, this is his last couple of games. Antonio Brown two hundred receiving yards, a hundred and one and a touchdown, a hundred sixty nine and two touchdowns, a hundred forty four and three touchdowns. He has absolutely been killing it lately, and I think with a big time spotlight on him, it absolutely works. Again, I'm going Big Ben,

and I'm stacking him with Antonio Brown. The other wide receiver I'm going with is someone who I have told callers all week long I love. I think he's not only a good play, I think he's a great play. And it is Marquis great win. I mean it's actually Mark He's goodwin. But I like him at sixties six

hundred against the Tennessee Titans there at home. He absolutely has a chemistry with Jimmy Garoppolo went over a hundred yards last week when eight from nine the week before that, and Jimmy G's two starts, he is the last man standing there. And then last two weeks he hasn't even gotten into the end zone. If he were to get into the end zone, and I think he could this week against Tennessee and their bottom ten, bottom ten past defense, I think that is a very good option and my

third wide receiver. Check this out. I know I just talked about him in the injury update, and I know he's going up against the cat scratch fever, But I like DeAndre Hopkins. Okay, I'm going all in with DeAndre Hopkins in my season long and in DFS. I think here's the thing. I think he's gonna be very low owned this week because I think people are gonna shy away from him because of Jacksonville. I think people are gonna shy away from him because they hear about this

toe injury. So I want a piece of him. Listen, there is nowhere else t J. Yates is gonna go with this ball than DeAndre Hopkins. I think he's gonna get sixteen targets, even if he catches nine of them, and you know, maybe a hundred yards, maybe he gets in the end zone. I like that. So those are my wide outs. I'm going big Benett quarterback. I'm going a B DeAndre Hopkins and Marque's goodwin at running back. Give me Kenyan Drake of the Miami Dolphins atred This

guy has been doing big things. I'm gonna save a little bit of money at running back. Look last week against New England, a hundred fourteen rushing yards and another seventy nine through the air. The week before that against Denver, who we thought was a stout defense, a hundred and twenty yards and they touchdown in another three catches. I like him up against Buffalo, and Buffalo has been eviscerated

by the run recently. You know it doesn't matter. Uh. The snow game, Frank Gore went off the Carolina Panthers went off on them. I think this run defense can be had. Give me Yan Drake and my second running back. I'm going off the beaten path a little bit. I like Latavius Murray. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that I have been talking about these Vikings running backs as game script dependent for a few weeks now. I've been saying that in more competitive games it's gonna

be Jack McKinnon. But when the Vikings get up big, they go to Latavius Murray. That has been the case. When they were up big against Detroit on Thanksgiving, he had eighty four yards and a touchdown. When they were up big against Washington, seventeen carries, got in the end zone. When they were up big against Cleveland in London, he got into the end zone. You know, so I Baltimore hundred and a tudd. I think that. You know, he didn't perform well last week, but that was a competitive

game against the Carolina Panthers. I think Cincinnati is gonna get dump trucked in their trip to Minnesota this week, and I think the second half is gonna be a lot of Latavious Murray running the ball. I thinks he gets in the end zone as well, So he is my r B two as it relates to tight end. I'm also going against the conventional wisdom and the beaten path.

A lot of people love Rob Gronkowski, a lot of people love Zach Ertz, a lot of people love Jimmy Graham, and a bounce back against the Rams after his bagel in Week fourteen, I'm going elsewhere. I'm going with Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers. I like the match up against Green Bay. I like that they're on grass. Remember they were saying that Greg Olson was a problem because he was on turf um in a couple of games against MetLife in the MetLife Stadium, against the Jets and

again against the Saints, they held him out. He's back on grass, and I think that Cam Newton is gonna have to go where his bread is buttered to his security blanket a little bit, because remember Functious is a little bit banged up. I think greg Olsen comes back to prominence this week. So I like greg Olsen on FanDuel at fifties six hundred and my defense. Let me tell you something, I am fading the New York Jets. They are starting backup quarterback Bryce Petty. They've kind of

waived the flag on the season. I'm going with the New Orleans Saints at forty six hundred. I think this is a very good option. The Saints defense has been opportunistic. I think that Bryce Petty is good for a couple of turnovers, is good for a couple of sacks. I think the Jets will struggle to score in this game. And remember the Saints have also become a little bit more of a running team, a time of possession kind of team. So there you have it. I got big Ben.

My running backs are Kenyan Drake and lat Murray at wide out, I'm going Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, and Marquis Goodwin. I'm going Greg Olsen at tight end, and the New Orleans Saints defense, and then I just fill in a kicker. The one I happened to land on was Phil Dawson. All right, Like I said, we got some spotlight games here in Week fourteen, I want to talk about Rams and Seahawks for a little while. Here's the biggest thing

to me, the return of Robert Woods. I think the return of Robert Woods makes this once again a fantasy herd for the Los Angeles Rams. Remember without Woods, I was like, yo, I love Cooper Cup. I love Cooper Cup and he has continued to deliver this week. I think Cooper Cup takes a step back because I think Robert Woods does in fact get involved. Todd Gurley remains involved. Sammy Watkins remember no, Richard Sherman. I think it is a fantasy herd and honestly the um. The person who

suffers for that, in my opinion is Cooper Cup. So he is my fool gazey. The person to forget about in this matchup, my diamond and the rough in this matchup is Jimmy Graham. I think he gets a bounce back game I get. I think he gets back into the end zone. I think like sometimes these receivers are a little diva ish, and I think Jimmy Graham could fit in that category. I think that Russell Wilson actually makes it a point to try to feed Jimmy Graham

early and often in this game. I think Jimmy Graham has a bounce back. I can see him being a diamond in the rough and in that game. Listen. I know a lot of people are like, oh, the Rams are so great, Oh, the Rams offense. I think Seattle has a lot of pride. I think Seattle still is a contender. They are still at home with the twelves making noise. I would not be surprised if the Seattle Seahawks win a close game up there in the Pacific Northwest.

Call it something like. I think Russell Wilson continues to, you know, run around and make plays, and no one does it better than Russell. He is, in fact, my most valuable player. He's my m v P in the NFL. If I had a vote right now, I would vote it for Russell Wilson. Let me talk about these pat Steelers also, this is gonna be a huge game. Let me tell you something. I'm a little bit worried about some Patriots. I don't think Hogan looked great in his return.

He did not really look all the way healthy. The only guy I think one carry a one target, one catch for one yard, something like that. However, what we do have is the return of Rob Gronkowski. I think that and I think Rex birkehead. I think those are gonna be very interesting players for the New England Patriots. And here's why, and I hate to say this, but it's the god's honest truth. The Steelers don't have Ryan Shazier.

Ryan Shazier's strength was being a sideline to sideline linebacker who could cover and who could cover a lot of ground, could go sideline to sideline. I think it's Birkhead. I think it's Gronk that actually take advantage of that in the passing game. I think those are the places we go. I also think Brandon Cooks could be in line for a big game because, as they said on you know, Sunday Night Football whatever, it was, part of the way to beat the Steelers is to go downfield. Brandon Cooks

is that downfield threat. And I think there's a big hole with no Ryan Shayssier there in the middle of the field. So I like the Patriots moving the ball with Cooks, Gronk, and Birkhead on the other side. With the Steelers, it's all of them, you know who it is. They are the most elite fantasy herd in the NFL. Antonio Brown gonna get his working, Levan Bell gonna get his working. Juju get some love, Brian will get some love, Vance McDonald will get some love. Outside of Brown and Bell,

they become a herd. I think all of them will do big things. I think this game is back and forth, but I like the pits Burg Steelers. I can't believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers are such big favorites right now as they are. But I like the Pittsburgh Steelers in a close game, maybe something like thirty three twenty seven, that's what I'll call it. But here's what we're gonna do right now. We're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four four, eight four three six eight seven nine.

We're gonna close out the last segment heading into the weekend with my favorite part of the day, the Stats over Beat Cipher. Holler at your boy right now.

I got a lot of people in the chat room. We'll get to you guys towards the end of the show as usual.

But what I want to do is here from my stats over Beat cipher phone mines are open at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We got a couple of callers that we gotta get to it. I gotta tell you something, guys, This could be the most important Stats over Beat Cipher yet. I mean, we are giving people advice for what is likely their semifinal matchups.

And I hope to be talking to all of these people next week when we're here on the Fantasy Freestyle because that means they would be in the championship and really in position to win their leagues and win that cash. Let's start it off on a Friday with Keith in Baltimore. Hey, Keith, you are on the stats Overbeat site for the Fantasy Freestyle talking with the spitting statistician. Let's get you a w and your playoff matchup. What's going on, Keith? Oh, so far, so good? I got a three? Okay? Is

it PPR standard? First? Let me know PPR okay? So Stafford or Matt Ryan. I love Matt Ryan this week. I love his matchup against Tampa Bay. That's a bad pass defense. I think Matt Ryan bounces back from his three pick performance last week. I love Matt Ryan. He's one of my highest ranked quarterbacks this week. I think he bounces back in a big way. That's my QB answer for you. What else, McKinnon or a giant m m that it's a closer one for me. You may

have heard earlier in the show. I actually think lat Murray gets more work for the Vikings because I think they're gonna be up big on Cincinnati and than having to grind it out in the second half, and that's lat Murray, not Jerick McKinnon. Um, So I would go ja gi E because listen, these Giants can't tackle, you know. I think that they're not gonna necessarily need uh Nick Foles in the passing game in order to beat the Giants. I think a gi e will be a big back

to own there. So I like a gi E over McKinnon. What else you got? So my two most touchdown dependent wide receivers Marvels Joe's Jr. Or Jordy Nelson coming back? Yeah, I mean a lot of people Keith have been asking me about Jordy Nelson, Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams. I answer the question with a question back to you. Do you believe Keith that now that Aaron Rodgers is back, all of a sudden, Jordy Nelson is once again the first option. Do you believe that to be true? Keith? Yes or no? Yes?

Then if you do, you need to put Jordy Nelson in your lineup, you know what I mean? If you believe that that's the way it is, that he has this you know, kind of chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, then that's what's gonna happen, you know, I don't. If you believe that that that's the way it goes, then you need to put Jordy Nelson in your lineup, because, to be quite honest, then you'll be kicking yourself if you believe that and he does score the touchdowns that he

could score, and he's on your bench. So I would go Jordy in that situation. I hope they all work out for you. Keith, do me a favor. Let Avon Barksdale and Bubbles and Omar tell tell him that speeds. The spitting statistician said, what's up down there? And be more up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go down to Florida. True friend of the show we've heard from before. It is rude down in Florida. Dilly Dilly rue, what's

going on? How can we help you advance in your playoffs? Hey, dilly dilly man, I got three questions, but it's but it's just think of it as three categories and I'm I'm gonna speed it up so you can spin it out from me. What you got. First of all, let me know if talking standard or PPR. Definitely gonna let you know. So the three questions. Uh within the category for the first one, RB Inflex Standard p p R quarterback. Okay, let's go all right, let's go for RB inflect standard

Mike Davis. Uh uh, Brandon cook Darvis Landry Crowder. I just need a running back and with fever and uh so you need three of the four, just two of the four. Alright, I go Mike Davis and I go Brandon Cooks. Okay, Jarvis Landry and Jamison Crowder are two of the most like PPR wideouts in the league. You said it's standard scoring. If it was PPR, I'd love

Jarvis Lantry, I'd love Jamison Crowder. But because it is standard scoring, give me Mike Davis as the most guaranteed kind of touches and production as the RB and the FLEX. Give me Brandon Cooks. If you've heard me before, I think the way to beat the Steelers and try and go deep over the top. And that is the role that Brandon Cooks has for the Patriots. So that's my answer there. What do you got in the PPR one? Cool? Got you? That's why I got started right nine? Okay,

pr p Ryan, Mike Davis. I like p Ryan there. I think p Ryan is uh the only option there for for the Washington football team. I like p Ryan and he's getting a little bit of work in the past game as well. Give me some j p Ryan there. And then quarterback, what do you got room? Quite a bit? I know I got um um Drew Brees. I'm not starting him. I know you gotta get a match up, but I'm not starting him. Okay, But Rogers and Keenum, Yeah, I mean it comes down to this, this h Aaron

Rodgers question. Again. I like case Keenum this week, but I think like you, like you heard me say already, I think they're gonna be able to get up early and quickly on Cincinnati and then have a lot of running trying to run the clock out. You know what, uh, rou you got Aaron Rodgers for this exact reason, right, you got Aaron Rodgers when you like maybe picked him up on the way for while You're like, yo, if I'm in the playoffs, I want him for week fifteen.

Well here we are, you know what I mean? Right, Rue? Yep, So there you go. Run out Aaron Rodgers. Okay. I think he's geeked up and ready to go. I hope it all works out for you. RU call me back next week and we can talk about your Fantasy Championship up next in uh out in Cali at the o C. We got don out there. You are on the stats Overbeat site for the Fantasy Freestyle with Speeds. Let's get you a playoff. W what's good? Hey, How'm going? I got two questions, one for a tight end and one

for a flex and the standard. Yeah but he's out, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's so. I have the choice between clay Ebron and Olson. I like Greg Olsen this week. I think Greg Olson bounces back this week. He's on grass further removed from the injury. I think also because Devin Funcius is a little bit banged up. I like Greg Olsen to come back to form this week. Don So, Greg Olson's my answer for that first one? What else you got? Alright? Cool? Thank you? So for the flex, I have Tyreek or

Dion Lewis or current Curry Williams. That's interesting. Um, I'm a little bit down on Tyreek Hill this week. I gotta tell you the truth. I think Casey Hayward is a great cornerback. I think the Chargers are gonna prioritize trying to take away the big play from Tyreek Hill, and then he saw a boom or bust, you know, and so in the standard formats, he could also get you something like six catches for thirty seven yards, you know what I mean, with like one end around rush

for nine yards. So that's my fear on Tyreek Hill. I'm not a believer in Kerwin Williams either. I just don't think he's a good football player, don you know what I mean. I just don't think he's that good. And I don't think the Arizona run game has proven anything so far this season. So give me Dion Lewis. I like the Uh, give me the Patriots running back, even though I know there's such a fantasy herd and you know Bill Belichick could screw you, but I would

go Dion Lewis. There, you got anything else? Are we good to go? Done? I think I'm good to go. I'm playing. It was just really quick lineup, uh, Doug Baldwin and Woods. But so we gotta hope that's high scoring game out there in Seattle, right. I think you got a good chance, man, I hope it works out. Don yep, Dilly Dilley to you call me back next

week when you're in the championship. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to bean Town where we talk to Cliff in bean Town, a true friend of the show, Dilley Dilley. Cliff, how can we help you get a playoff? W alright man, Dilley Dilley. So, very quick, two part question. I know you're talking a lot about Aaron Rodgers. My quick question for you, I've got Rogers starting now, but I've got Rivers might be one of the quarterbacks. I would start over Aaron Rodgers. I think he's got a

plus match up against the Kansas City Chiefs. I think they're gonna go back and forth in that game, you know, I mean, listen, this Chief's defense led Darrell Reevus would be a value add for them. You know that's how crazy it was. I like Philip Rivers and and Keenan Allen has been going off. Listen. I understand it if you want to go Aaron Rodgers, but I think Philip Rivers has been very hot lately. I like Philip Rivers. There, Cliff, question for you, just more so on like a week

sixteen kind of um kind of spotlight. I know I'm going a little too early up now. I got Marky's good when started for me this week? But next week I know I made we have to cut the Jacksonville right, Yeah, I don't like him. I don't think he's good enough to face Jacksonville and still be dominant. Would you start a guy like Paul Richardson week sixteen going up against Dallas. I'm not on Paul Richardson. Honestly. He's a boom or bust home run kind of play for me. Might he

catch that fifty yard jump ball? Yes? Right, But you gotta think Baldwin is really the guy there. Jimmy Graham is getting into the end zone. There's locket there too. I'm not a huge fan of Paul Richardson. I gotta tell you the truth, Cliff, right, But hopefully we can talk about Week sixteen more next week because you will still be live for your championship. Up next, on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go back to California. Francis goal is out there? What's going on? Francisco? Uh, you're on the

Fantasy Freestyle. What do you got? It was sub speeds? Uh? Man? I got two questions for you. I got I got Flash Gordon and Michael Crabtree. Am I crazy to put him in instead of A J. Green? No, You're not crazy. I like both of them. Crabtree has a great matchup Noah, MARII Cooper. Josh Gordon has shown that he is a man amongst boys. They should be down in that game. So I'm okay with that. Um Because you talked about A J. Green right, and A J. Green has potentially

one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Um up against him in Xavier Road. So no, I do not think you are crazy for that one. You got one more real quick for me? Yeah, real quick. Um, I got another Rodgers question. Would you start Cam? No? I would not. No, I would not. I do not believe the Cam is a percent healthy. That's the only reason Jonathan Stewart got in the end zone three times last week because they don't want to use CAM. I don't think he's fully healthy. I would go with Aaron ro just.

I hope that works out for you. We're gonna ended up real quick. We got Pete and shall Leon Pete and shall Leon Dilley Dilley, but we're up against the break Pete, so we gotta be quick. How you feeling, But I made sure I want to talk to you before you go into your fantasy playoffs. What's up, Pete? All right, speed, you're doing good. By the way, you're doing real good. Yea man, We're trying to make it happen real quick break Pete, though, okay, last night I

heard you're ready. I picked up I did pick up Yelden and I because I needed the spot. I needed the spot. But guys like my days J. P. Ryan, ahead of that split, you don't know which one is gonna be the guy. If both of them, I can play both, all right, then that's what you right now? White out, I got Kyree kill FLI Hogan Westbrook pick four. I'll wait after the break. We'll wait after the break. Do me a to have us stay on the line

with Bovona and say them again. He'll gee chatty and I'll answer that when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got playoffs, baby. This message is paid for by the United Elf Foundation.

To Rock Daily Fantasy Sports Fantasy Freestyle. DeAndre Hopkins did not practice with that toe injury. I own d hop myself, so I'm really hoping he's playing. It sounds like he will play in tough Out. If Bill O'Brien, their coach, says he's playing, and listen, you

still gotta stardom. I don't care if his toe is hurt. I don't care if he's up against Jacksonville. You've seen DeAndre Hopkins. He's the wide receiver two in fantasy this year. If you've gotta run him out, I still endorsed running him out week days from seven to eight pm. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back. It is the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Last couple of minutes before we go into

the weekend. What is a playoff weekend? I truly hope my status over beat Cipher keeps it going to win their leagues and win that cash. We had Pete from Shaolin right before the break. He had Tyreek Hill, Adam Feeling, Um Hogan, Cup and d D and he needed me to pick all but one. I gotta tell you, Pete, the person who does not have a chair when the

music stops from me is Hogan. He did not look healthy in his return to me, And I told you I like Gronk and Birkhead in the middle of the field with no Ryan Shazier as the speed coverage linebacker, and I like Brandon Cooks for the Patriots over the top as the deep threat. I think Hogan is sort of betwixt them between, and he doesn't look fully healthy to me. I think Tom Brady looks for other options. That's the way I would go, So I would if I were you, Pete, I'd fire up Tyreek Hill, Adam.

I gotta feeling d D. Westbrook and Cooper Cup even though Robert Woods is coming back. Pete, I hope you win so that we can continue our ongoing conversation next week on the Fantasy Freestyle. Dilly Dilly. Alright, Like I said, we got this whole question up. Fort scent of you agree with me that the Raiders have a decent chance to win outright as home dogs against the Dallas Cowboys. I'm in an agreement in alignment with the people, all right. What we also gotta do is we're gonna check out

the YouTube stream the chat room. We got my man Danny right down there in the fantasy pit of misery. Hey Danny, how's it going? What are the people saying? Danny? Were the people impressed with my Hanukkah prayer today? I'm trying to get better at it. We definitely got a couple of people that were giving you shout outs. You're saying you're getting better and better each day. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. It is the fourth night of Hanukkah.

So let's see Saturday Sunday. We're gonna only be able to do it two more times on Monday and Tuesday next week. So hopefully the improvement continues, Danny. Other people asking any questions because they got playoffs on the line. I'm trying to help out the YouTube feed. We got a lot of questions. All right, give me the best ones, all right? Pinhead Larry, pinhead Larry in a standard league. He said he's got a two part questions. Alright. First

part is hide or Derrick Henry. Wow, that's tough. It's because it's standard. I might lean towards Henry and they're both playing against each other in an interesting matchup. But the forty niners are a bad run defense. I like Derrick Henry ascending. But here's the thing, Honestly, I don't know if he's listening. Still, I would try to find a way to get both of these guys in. I think they're both kind of low n RB two slash flex plays. I like them both this week. I like

them both. I think you can go with your gut. I have a slight lean to Derrick Henry. What else do we got Danny same Rivers or Breeze. Oh? I like Philip Rivers this week. I think he's got a plus matchup against Kansas City and Breeze. I don't think they're gonna need the passing game to beat the Jets. I think they're gonna get up early and then I think they're gonna grind it out with my guys so

fresh and so clean, mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. So I think it's almost like the Saints don't need Breeze to be prolific in the Dome anymore. We got time for one or two more Danny, all right, Derek Bruno says Alex Smith or Nick Foles. Oh, that's interesting. I like the Nick Foles play there. Alex Smith is gonna have pressure on them all night long, from Joey Bosa and from Melvin Ingram. I like um Camera, I like Casey Hayward guarding Tyreek Hill as well. I think that's

gonna be a nip and tuck kind of game. But Nick Foles, however, has the Giants, and I think everybody is up against the Giants, and I think Nick Foles can plug and play there. Just find we got time for one more, Danny. Let's get one more, alright, d Lee asks Jordy or Goodwin. Oh, it comes back to the same thing that we told the caller. Do you believe that Jordy all of a sudden returns to form

because it's Aaron Rodgers. I don't think so. I think Davante Adams is still the number one wide receiver there in Green Bay this Sunday, and so for that reason, I would go with Marque's great win a k a. Marquis Goodwin. Thanks, Danny, have a great weekend, my friend. Um So that about does it. Guys, this is big. I'm excited for everybody. I'm nervous for everybody. I'm gonna be sweating it out with you when we come back on Monday, because in my own league, in my semifinals,

I'm gonna have some people on Monday night football. We just gotta hope I'm within range. I hope you guys are too. Let's go ahead and celebrate Hanaka by winning these leagues and winning these cash. Right here, it's a fantasy freestyle. I'll see you guys Monday. Stats over beats. Let's get it, guys. I'm out. Peace, Happy weekend,
