Later on the show, we will also open up the phone lines from my people that hashtag stats over beat cipher Yo. We got a lot of people on the spher that

We are truly helping people win that cash. So we will look ahead and we're gonna preview some of the spotlight games of week fifteen. There were some

big time games coming up this week. Battle in the NFC West with the Seahawks and the Rams, I'll tell you was a diamond and who's a fool gays in that one, battle for the home field in my opinion. In the a f C with the Steelers and Pats, I'll give you diamonds and fool gazes in that one as well. We also got a big match up on Saturday night for a f C West supremacy as the Chargers and the Chiefs get it on in Kansas City. I'll give you my diamonds and fool gazes in that

game as well. And listen, yes I said it right Saturday. Now that college football is over, the Heisman has been awarded, the Army Navy game has concluded, and the bowl season is upon us, the NFL adds Saturday games to the schedule meeting. There is the NFL on Monday, on Thursday, on Saturday, and on Sunday. So my pole question tonight we ask you, is four days a week too much? Is it overkill? Does it saturated too much? Or do you love it? Is it just more chance to see

your fantasy football players in action? Is it too much for you? Does it work for you? Or like many people are voting saying I love it, but you know, my wife, my family, they don't love it. We shall see if we have time. We also have brand new fire right off the presses my man Young Cause and the effect. They got a new rap parody. We may play that as well here either. If we don't get to it today, we'll definitely get to it tomorrow because we got that fire off of what Shady McCoy did

in the snow last week up in Buffalo. And as we said, as always, if you want to call in, the number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.

I got Chris Bofona and Chris Venture down there in the fantasy pit of misery holding me down, and they're gonna hold you down as well. A little bit later on, when we open up the phone lines and get to your questions about the semifinals or the finals, we're gonna make you win

your leagues and win that cash. But we start, as always with news and notes around the NFL and Wednesday, if you listen to the show, you know Wednesday is a big practice report day. Okay, it's the first time that teams in the week half the issue actually injury reports and practices. We'll see who did not practice, say who was limited, and uh, you know it's a full go.

This will set the baseline, and then on Thursday and Friday editions of the Fantasy Freestyle, we'll see who's trending in the right direction to play and who unfortunately is not. Before we start, if you haven't heard by now, Aaron Rodgers has been cleared to return. If everything looks like he's actually going to go for the Packers under center here in week fifteen. The only problem is they got

the Carolina Panthers. I know that recently they've been you know, less strong defensively, especially giving it up to the quarterback in the wide receiver position, but they are a very physical team too. I like Aaron Rodgers, but I do think that there are some other quarterbacks that you can start over him this week in your semi finals. Let's

get to the practice reports. Though not practicing early in the week now, in some cases, especially with veterans, they just you know, give them this kind of off day to kind of manage their reps throughout the week. So, like I said, we gotta check later on in the week. But this one is still a serious one. Joe Mixon is still in the concussion protocol um. He has not

returned yet to practice or any kind of activity. Really, if he doesn't make it back, that means Giovanni Bernard I would fire up as an RB two moving forward. Here's the thing, though, Giovanni Bernard himself is only limited in practice today. He has a knee injury. So you gotta keep an eye on the Cincinnati Bengals running back situation moving forward. Leonard Fournette did not practice this time

with a quad. Okay, it's like the knee bones connected to the hip bone, the hip bones connected to the ankle bone. Whatever. It is something with Leonard Fournette all the time. Remember you had the ankle before. Now it is a quad, So keep an eye out on that. They might just be managing his reps. We'll see what Leonard Fournette does tomorrow. Alan Hearns did not practice. To me, he's still coming back from that ankle injury. That's what

keeps D D. Westbrook relevant. Remember I said on Tuesday's show yesterday that if Alan Hearns comes back, then I think D. D. Westbrook is compromised. I think it's a downgrade from Marquis Lee as well, if that were to happen, because like don't think that the Jaguars pass offense is enough to support three wide receivers. But Alan hern is still not back at practice just yet. Tevin Coleman not practicing today either. He is still in the concussion protocol.

Remember they got an extra day because the Falcon Zone play until Monday night at Tampa Bay. But if that doesn't happen, oh boy, does that mean DeVante Freeman will have loads of opportunity. This is a big one. This is probably a guy who has relied on on playoff teams. Kyle Rudolph is in a walking boots still, he's got an ankle injury. He did not practice. That could be real doubt for that game the Minnesota Vikings. They went welcome the Cincinnati Bengals up there to Minnesota. Marii Cooper

is still not practicing. Remember that's the ankle, not the concussion. He's good to go because of the concussion, but that ankle injury is still a problem. Remember he did come back and play, but then got banged up in the middle of the game. The ankle is still an issue for a Marii Cooper and Adrian Peterson did not practice this because of a neck injury. Also, everyone down there in Arizona they're saying they have no idea whether he will play again this season or not. They may in

fact shut him down. The Cardinals are not contending. I told you about Giovanni Bernard around with Cincinnati, still limited in practice to other guys limited, both of them in Buffalo. Kelvin Benjamin and Shady McCoy are nursing knee injuries that they may be kind of reaggravated or tweeked in the snow in that last game. They are limited today. I think they're both gonna go unless they have some kind of setback. Zach Ertz back practicing, he's cleared the concussion protocol.

Tyrod Taylor getting starters reps in Buffalo. Remember, Nate Peterman is in the concussion protocol. So it looks like they may go back to Tyrod against the Miami Dolphins this week. Tyrod nursing that knee injury that he sustained when he was carded off a couple of weeks ago. Maybe back in the saddle for the Buffalo Bills. All Right, as I mentioned, I want to talk about these Saturday games. I love these Saturday games. But the question thing is, maybe it's a little too far, Maybe it's a little

too much, you know what I mean? I mean games on Monday and on Thursday and on Saturday and on Sunday. Listen. I love it. Okay, I'll watch football seven nights a week if it's on. Okay, but does that like impact your quality of life? You know? On on UM, a lot of block live recently, Tony Sankata and I we found a day where there was only like three games on the NBA slate and we were like, this is the perfect night to go on out and take your wife to dinner, go on out and spend some time

with your kids, whatever the case may be. But now with football on Saturday and Sunday and Thursday, when do you have that opportunity. I'll tell you what, I love it, but I'm not mad if other people are saying it is a little too much. And that's why I ask you that pole question. Is it too much for you right now? Fifty one percent of you say nope, it works for me. Percent say it is a little bit too much, and say you love it. What your family

is a different idea. One of the games that will happen on Saturday that I mentioned that I think is a big game is the Los Angeles Clippers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Remember, both of these teams with seven and six records, tied for first place in the a f C West. The Oakland Raiders are right behind them. So let me tell you right now how I see this game going. Okay, these teams were trending in different directions. The Chargers are hot like liquid hot magma. The Chiefs

not so much. They did, however, bounce back last week in a game against the Oakland Raiders, and the Chiefs are at home. So I'm gonna go against the grain here. I know everyone loves the Chargers. Everyone loves the Chargers in this game. I actually think the Chiefs at home make a statement. You know what else about the Saturday games. It now fits the narrative that I'm talking about my home dogs. Remember I talked about the home dogs on

Thursday nights the home dogs on Monday nights. Well, I think in these spotlight game scenarios where you have the national audience, the home dog, you know, has even more incentive. More eyes are on him when you're the spotlight game. My home dog angle, I think works even more. And right now the Chiefs are one point home dog. So I I you know how I love the Charges. I've been talking about how I think the Charges can make

the playoffs. At the beginning of the season, I thought the Chargers were the second best team in this division, and now it is trending in that way. But you also know that I like to fade the public. I like to zig when everybody else zags. Everybody is on the Charges. Two weeks ago, we had a poll question up in seventy percent of you thought the Chargers would win the a f C West, Only like twelve had the Chiefs. So I'm gonna tell you what. I'm gonna

go the other way. I think Kareem Hunt, you know, kind of bounce back a little bit last game. He got a bunch of carries. I believe he got over twenty carries for the first time in a long time last week. I think they realize that that's where their bread is buttered. That combined with the aggressive downfield shots to Tyree Kill. You know, you have Kelsey working the intermediate route. I think these Chiefs are all about scheme.

Will it continue happen? Will they continue that aggressiveness. I think they will have an opportunity to do so on the Los Angeles side. Let me tell you something. Remember how I have my narrative about the fantasy Herd. You know, like when you play a little bit of Whackable, you never know. I think it's sort of crystallizing for the Chargers. Back in the day, the Chargers were definitely heard. Tyrell Williams,

maybe Travis Benjamin, maybe Gates Henry, Gordon Allan. But what's happened is Keenan Allen has ascended and taken over one of those true kind of target monster, workhorse bell cow wide receiver kind of roles. He is now entrenched as a firm wide receiver one for your fantasy team and as the number one option for the Los Angeles Chargers. I think there is a clear number two option as well,

and I think that's Hunter Henry. I think Hunter Henry continues to ascend, continues to grow, and I think he will eat today or on Saturday against a Kansas City Chiefs defense. That's why Hunter Henry and Kareem Hunt are my diamonds and the rough for this Saturday game. Um for for Gayzes. I know I just said that. I think the Chiefs will continue to be aggressive and go downfield. I just don't think they're gonna connect this time around.

I think now the Charges know that Tyreek Hill is where the bread is buttered when they want to be aggressive when they go downhill. I think that the big play streak for Tyreek Hill, I think it gets snapped. I think Casey Hayward has the ability to kind of prevent those big time places. I think that's gonna be their focus. As I mentioned National Audience Spotlight game in Kansas City in Arrowhead, when they hit those big plays, the Tyreek Hilled, that's what kind of like ignites the crowd.

I think it will be their focus to try to take away Tyreek Hill. I think Tyreek Hill will get end a rounds. I think he'll get bubble screens, but I do not think he will connect with Alex Smith on one of those bombs down the field. So I'm gonna have Tyreek Hill as my fantasy Foo Gazy today in the Saturday night game, I think you can forget about tyng what what is means? Yeah, I think Tyreek Hill is gonna be a little phony. But in this battle of a f C West, I like the Chiefs

to win a very very close game. You know. Also with the Charges, if you're a Charges fan, you know sometimes Philip Rivers does bad fourth quarter picks, they miss kicks. I think something like that will happen and undermine the Charges. Give it to me the Chiefs twenty three is we're gonna do. We'll opening up the phone lines right now. The number of calling me is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. If you want to be down with the Fantasy freestyle, holler at your boy,

We'll be right back. You think you've got the playoffs in the bag, you think you're the man. Make sure you listen to Fantasy Football Gold every Saturday night to six pm Easter.

So now it is the second night of Hanuka Boroka Dounai Hanu mele how alambamts Vu told vits Ivanu lek

nasheale Hanaka second night of Hanukkah. It is officially the second night of Hanukkah here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And without further redo, not only do we light the menorah, but we get to the Stats over Beat cipher. We got a couple of callers. We got people that want to talk to Speed the Spitting Statistician, because if they're still asking questions in week fifteen, you know what that means, guys. That means they are ready to win their leagues and

win that cash. So let's get it on right now. We start with Mike in Arizona. Hey, Mike, you're on the Status over Beat site for the Fantasy Freestyle with Speeds the Spitting Statistician, and how can we help you in week four fifteen get that w in the playoffs a Speeds. I'll first, I gotta say, dilly, dilly, you don't know what it is. Oh hell yeah, I've been getting in here. I've been listening to you, guys, and I tell you what I've been listening to you riding

the Hunt train, the cream Hunt trains. We cashed out last week. Let's say let's go okay, okay, so you're off hunted. Sounds like it sounds like you're off hunt. But what do we need for this week? Though? Mike? How can we help you get a W in the playoffs? This week? I got a scenario. I'm going against the most stacked team in the league. I got Smith, I got Fold, and I got case Keenum, and at wide receiver I got in my flex, I have crab Tree, but I could also go Gohore or Watkins. All right,

let's go one position at a time. Okay, the quarterbacks who said we're Smith Keenum and who mm hmm, I'm gonna go case Keenum. I remember I was off case Keenum last week. And the Vikings because it was their third straight road game. They now return home right where I think they're gonna be. The fans are gonna be waiting for the man. Keenom listen. They're playing the Cincinnati Bengals. You saw the Cincinnati Bengals. I think wave the white flag on their season last week. I think pac Man

is already out. They got other injuries in the secondary. I like case Keenum. Of the three you mentioned, I do not necessarily like Alex Smith because the Chargers, the Charges past defense is great and Bosa and Ingram gets pressure. I would go Keenum there at quarterback. What were the other ones you had wide out? What give me the other position you got, Mike, Yeah, I had a crab Tree, uh Agahore and Watkins. I'm gonna go crab Tree and I'm gonna go Watkins. Agre is the guy without a

seat when the music stops for me. And here's the thing, and here's the reason why, Mike, and thanks for the call, because with the move to Nick Foles, I'm just not sure who he has chemistry with and who he doesn't. He may come over and target zach ERT's fifteen times, he may he may target out Sean Jeffreyson time. We

just don't know who his priority receivers are. Because of that and the fact that there's so many mouths to feed in Philadelphia between the running backs and the wide receivers, I think a Glora's guy withould out when the music stops, Crabtree, I gotta have in because Cooper is banged up and Walkins I like as the deep threat in that game against Seattle, Remember no Richard Sherman. So that's where I would go, Mike. I hope it works out for you.

Dilly Dilly up. Next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Pittsburgh. We get another Mike in the stats over beat Cipher. What's going on, Mike in Pittsburgh? Looking good for the Steelers. I hope it's looking good for your fantasy team as well. How can we help you get a W this week? Um? I'm to start, all right, start sick question. And the first one is I'm gonna

half point PPR. I have p Ryan, Gordon Hunt and Golden Kate and I need to pick to them p Ryan, Gordon Hunt and Tate and this is half and this half point PPR. Yeah, yes, all right, UM, you know I this is a tough one for me, Mike. I gotta tell you the truth. I think these guys are all really close. Okay, I gotta tell you right now. I think they're all really close. So I'm okay with you going with your gut against what I'm about to say. I m unlike the last caller, Mike, UM, I think

Kareem Hunt is gonna be decent this game. I like Kareem Hunt because the Chargers are really strong against the past, less so against the run. I think Kareem Hunt in the cold in December maybe the way, So Kareem Hunt in there. And then I can't believe I'm saying this, because if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know how anti this guy. I have been four weeks, but I think you gotta put Josh Gordon in there. He's clearly a focal point of this offense. He's clearly getting targets,

and the skill is definitely still there. So I would go Kareem Hunt and Josh Gordon. All right, Mike, fair enough, thank you for that. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go down to Austin and we're talking to Tony. We're keeping it weird in Austin. How can I help you get a W in week fifteen and stay alive in your playoffs? Tony? I just want to get to that championship game. Man. Need to uh need to a one point or four point PPR. I got you to receivers,

so did you? Robert Woods funious? Oh wow? We got a lot of options here, all right, Hold on a second. We got Cooks, Hill, Juju, Woods, Fungious, and good one. Those are the options. All right, Um, here's the deal. First of all, picking two out of the six you know, it's not easy to get them both right. I'm gonna tell you that right now. Tony put me in a in a tough spot for me to completely deliver for you. But of these guys, I mean, there's three that I

really like. To be quite honest, there's three I really like. I really like um Cooks. This week. I think that the Steelers are giving up the big play. I don't know if you saw that on Sunday Night Football, they were saying that the the one buggaboo of the Steelers defense is giving up the big play. And Cooks is this big play receiver for New England. So I like Brandon Cooks. I love Marquis Goodwin this week and a plus match up against I believe it is the Houston Texans.

I like um, oh, excuse me, or Tennessee. It's one of those a f C South teams they're playing, and both of them give it up in the past game. So I like Cooks and I like Goodwin. If you could flex one of them, I would also think about flexing Funchius. I'm off juju because there's just so many mouths in Pittsburgh right now with Martevis Bryant back in there. I told you that Tyreek Hill was my fool gazey

in this Saturday night game. And I like Robert Woods, but I wouldn't run him out there with your playoffs on the line in his first game back after about a month off. So my answers are Cooks and Goodwin, but I like Funcious as well. I hope it works out for your Tony, and keep it weird down there in Austin. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go down to m I S S I S S I P P I and we talked to j J. You are talking with the spitting statistician. We're dropping stats over

beach right here on the Fantasy Freestyle. How could I help you get a W in week fifteen? Man? What's up? Man? Appreciate you all this? Well, I'm glad I'm still playing. You already know what I'm still playing. Absolutely, man, Let's help you win your leagues and win that cash. Let's keep it moving, baby. I got two, I got two questions.

I got I need to I need to players kind of similar to the guy who just called I also have um Smith, Schuster, Peyton Barber, Giovanni Bernard, Jay McKinnon, I got crow Wale b d with Root and Markey's Google. I need to flacks. You gotta go slower for me, brother Man, I had ju ju. I heard Geo, I heard Peyton Barber, I heard Jack McKinnon, and then I love. I couldn't keep up with you. Okay, well, d D west Brook and Goodwin and you need two of these

and it's a PPR same Man standard standard. All right, I'm still gonna go Goodwin. I love Marky's Goodwin this week. Anybody asking me questions if Marky's Goodwin is in them, He's gonna be one of the guys. I'm telling you. I am high on Marky's Goodwin this week. He is one of my diamonds in the rough. Um. If you listen to The show Man, you know the way I feel about Latin Murray and Jerick McKinnon. I think the Vikings are gonna be up big in this game. So

I think that's Latavia's Murray, not Jerick McKinnon. So it's not Jerick McKinnon for me. I'm off Peyton Barber as well. With Doug Martin back that becomes a very clouded backfield. So none of them do. I like the Browns. I expect to be down and that means more Duke Johnson less Isaiah co Well, so he's off for me. So for me, it's down. It's definitely Goodwin and the other one is either for Me Westbrook, Giovanni Bernard or Juju

Smith Schuster. Now, if Joe mix In does not play and he still has yet to clear the concussion protocol, then I'm going with Geo. Okay, so right now my answer is Goodwin and Geo. If, however, Mixing gets back and it compromises Giovanni Bernard's opportunity in that situation. Honestly, J, I'm cool with you go in either d D or Juju Smith Schuster. I gotta slight lean to d D. But I would love it for you if Giovanni Bernard stayed in that role, because then it's an easy one

for me Geo and Mark He's good when. I hope that works out for you, J, and I hope you wind up being able to call back because you're in the championship next week. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go up to o h I, o Ohio, and we talked to Danny in Ohio. Hey Danny, we're coming up against the break, So do me a favor. Give me a question real quick, and if I can to answer it now, I'll answer it as soon as we come out of break. How can I help you get

a W next week? Alright, Dilly Dilly, question on QB wide receiver and tight end. Give me the QBS? All right? Big Ben or Rogers? Yeah? I go big Ben. I love big Ben. He went five hundred yards. I love big Ben. I'm not running out Aaron Rodgers. If I have absolutely elite options, I think Big Ben is one of them. I like big Ben. Keep it going. What's next? Jordy Goodwin? Dig? How many? Only one? I like Marky's Goodwin.

Jordy is tied to Aaron Rodgers, So listen. If you want to try and run out the Aaron Rodgers Jordan Stack, I understand that I wouldn't do it myself. I would go Marky's Goodwin. If you know you know Danny Diggs hasn't done it since the um, since coming back from the groin injury. I owned Digs myself and I'm contemplating what I do with him this week as well. Real quick, Danny. What's the other one? Uh? Cook or Olson? Cooks or Olson?

I like Greg Olsen this week. I think Olsen is finally back and better than ever on the grass for Carolina, I'd go Greg Olsen. Outside of that, I hope you win your leagues and get on the back next week. Come on back, we got more calls. It's a fantasy freestop. Does your fantasy football team suck?

in a row, Hulio Jones been extremely inconsistent. Yeah, he could win you some weeks, but there's gonna be a lot of weeks where you're looking at his box when you're like, how are you this good?

And I'm not trying to call out Tom Brady. I'm not trying to call

out the people who have Tom Brady. But because it's one position, because it's so easy to get replacement of later in your draft, and the other positions you need multiple options. If you're blaming Tom Brady, it's not so much. Hey Tom Brady, you're letting us all down and you're a schmuck. It's just that this is again another reason why you don't draft the quarterback early three days for two six pm Eastern time zone dot Com Slash Radio.

It is the second of eight Crazy Nights of Hanaka, and we're here looking ahead two week fifteen of the NFL and more importantly, the fantasy football season. Because the Stats over Beat Cipher are largely in the playoffs and largely trying to win in the semifinals and

trying to win their leagues and win that cash. We got a lot of people that want to get down with the Fantasy Freestyle and ask questions of the spitting statisticians, so we will focus on you. You know how much I love the Stats over Beat Cipher. I am so happy that so many of you guys are still competing right now. In a couple of weeks, we're gonna all celebrate together with the Stats over Beat Cipher. All right, So up next, we got John in New Jersey. He

is a true friends of the show. So you know what we do there, Dilly Dilly, John, what's going on? Man? How could I help you. Hey, Dan, how you doing man? And you're right. I'm I'm definitely a fan of the show. You helped me out back in like week eight, a week seven or something like that with a trade. For sure. That's what's up. Let's keep it going now in your playoffs. How can we help John? So, I just got a flex question. I need you to pick one for a flex.

I got d D Westbrooks, Jared McKinnon, Evan Ingram, Kay Stills, Duke Johnson, d Jack or that new guy Lashawn Daniel Jr. Is this standard of PPR? I'm sorry, a full point PPR, full point PPR. Huh in full point PPR, I may have to hear the names again because you had a lot of them. But John, I like Duke. I like Duke. If it's a full point PPR, I like Duke. Um, listen, the Browns had their chance last week, you know what I mean? They had their chance last week. I don't

think it works out for them this week. This week? Um, who do they got? Let me see, I'm checking it out. I'm checking it out. They are home for the Baltimore Ravens. Right, They're not gonna be able to do much running the ball. You know, Kaiser is gonna be on the pressure. I think to checkdown is gonna be his best friend. I think Duke gets a lot of opportunity in this game. I would not go to Shawn Jackson because they're unraveling over there in Tampa Bay. I would not go Kenny Stills.

I would not go Jack McKinnon. I think the game flow will tend towards Otavius Murray, d D Westbrook I'm okay with but you know, with mine on the line, I think the game flow is gonna be a little bit different for the Jaguars. I think they could be winning in their matchup, and you know the Browns are gonna be down. So I like Duke Johnson. He's the guy I would go with john how's that sound for you? What? Al right? Absolutely? Anytime up next on the Fantasy Freestyle,

we go to Oregon, the Great Pacific Northwest. I got some family out there, go ducks. We're talking to Ray. I don't know, maybe you're more of a Beaver's kind of guy. I'm not sure, but regardless, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds was good? Right? What up? Speed? Not too bad? Not too bad. And I'm a Duck fan, by the way. I go Ducks Ducks PPR. Three guys one need one. Who who's the first one? You said, McCaffrey. Oh, CMC, you got it, Landry and Gordon. I'm gonna go see MC.

I'm gonna go see MC. Listen what happened last week with Jonathan Stewart getting in the end zone three times. That was, in my opinion, the anomaly. I think, especially in PPR leagues. You know McCaffrey, he's had games with nine ten catches and they're up against the Green Bay Packers this week and they give it up. I think now maybe Aaron Rodgers is gonna be a kind of a shootout back and forth. I think McCaffrey is the

guy you want to put in there. I know how great Landry is usually, especially in PPR leagues, but you know he might get you one of those like eight for forty three kind of games. He got in the end zone twice on Monday night. If that doesn't happen again, I don't like Landry. I'm going with CMC. I hope it works out for you, all right, right, awesome, Thank you very much. Anytime Dilly Dilley. Up next, we go to h friend of the show talk about Dilly Dilley.

We go to Shallotte him my boy, Pete, Pete. Since the trading deadline, you haven't been able to make as many moves. But I know you're still tinkering what we got today, Pete. Yeah, I'm still thinking. And I'm not that bad. You know, I'm in a fourteen team PPR league and you know what I'm about forty or fifty points at the first league. That's nothing, right, alright? That absolutely? Now? Um, I need a tight end this week because I gotta get rid of the Rosta man. He's dead, a rosta

far has been defecating the mattress lately. Absolutely, What about a guy like Steven Anderson? I don't think he's available? Is not? All right? Are your other options? Vernon Davis, Garrett Selleck, Jesse James who I like and its a matter of fact, what's his name? Mcdowald, could Yeah, I'm taking to split it Vance mcdogh. I still I'm not going with the Titans. There's so many weapons, remember ju Juice. Back in Pittsburgh, Brian's playing nicely in the sandbox, you know,

there's Levy on you know there's a b as well. Uh, those guys. The tight ends in Pittsburgh are touchdown dependent for me. I do I like Anderson or Vernon Davis there? If you want to know the truth, I like Anderson or Vernon Davis in that one. Okay, and Speeds. Also, Are you concerned about Body because I am. I think there's something wrong here with him. I listen, No, I'm not concerned with Brady. However, I if I was a

long term Patriots fan, I would be concerned. I think, listen, if you have Tom Brady, you can run him out. My problem with Brady, and I said it in the show a couple of days ago, I don't think he's gonna make it through the season. Um listen that he's already missing practice days because of the Achilles. He's getting hit a lot more than in previous years, right, and it's just the law of averages, Pete, you know, I mean his career has been like seventeen years. He's only

had one major injury. You know, five six quarterbacks go down every week. You're telling me, just because of avocados and uggs, that he's able to get through it. I don't think so, and and and and when we get to this time of year, you're gonna start seeing like you know, they're gonna start seeing elite pass rushers. What happens if the Pats are a two seed and the Jags are the three seed, you know they're gonna be

coming after him. So no, And in fantasy on a week tweek basis like, if you have Tom Brady, I'm starting him this week in your playoffs. I think it's absolutely fine. But my concern with Brady is if he makes it through the season. That is why. If you remember I said I have the Pittsburgh Steelers coming out of the a f C. I said at the beginning of the preseason. I said it again a couple of weeks ago. My revised Super Bowl pick is the Steelers

in the Saints. If you want to know the truth, So yes, And that's part of why I have a long term concern. I think someone's gonna ring his bell. All right, all right, I'll talk to you soon. Thanks a lot. Dilly dilly out there and Shalon pe true friends of the show. Up next, we go back to Ohio and it is Jimmy on the Stats over Beat cipher. What's going on? You're on with the spitting statistician? How can we help you get a W this week? I have a couple of questions, Um, Crowder or uh, let's

see Crowder or d D in a PR. I like Crowder in a D in a PPR format, I think Crowder is the guy who gets the first look from Kirk Cousins. I think Josh Dotson will be on We'll have Patrick Peterson on them all day, so I think he looks towards Jamison Crowder and PPR leagues. I think Jamison Crowder is a good option for you, Jimmy. What else you got? Okay? Uh need? Uh? Two running backs? Um, it's also PPR Uh Latin Murray, Jamal Williams, Mike Davis, and j Jant. I like Latin Murray, and I like

Jamal Williams. I think Jamal Williams has taken control of that backfield in Green Bay. He gets work in the past game as well, so in your PPR format, I like that, and I like Latin Murray this week. Um, Jimmy, let me tell you why. I think they're so gameflow dependent in games that the vikings are in closer games and then you need Jack McKinnon. But I think they're

gonna do work against the Cincinnati Bengals. I think they're gonna take care of business, and I think they're gonna try and park the bus in the second half by running the ball a lot. So to me, that is Latavius Murray. So I like lat Murray and I like Jamal Williams in that situation. I hope it works out for you, Jimmy. Let me know next week when you're in your Fantasy Championship. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, No, A lot of people want to get down with the

stats Overbeat Cipher. Here we're trying to help people win their leagues and win that cash, and we do it every Monday through Friday right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We go down to h Town where we have Zach who's trying to get down with the spitting statistician. You're on the status over Beat Cipher. What's up, Zack? How can we help you this? First time callers? Um, I got a

couple of questions for you. A brother man, okay, Um, I'm trying to start um either three running back a three wide receiver. Um, right now, I'm going to running back on it and Howard and Um, I'm trying to side between six receiver. Got Bryant Landry and it's this PPR standard. Okay, okay, So who you got? Oh? I got Dad Crowder and Landry Landry and and I got I got tin Um, Bryan and Brian. All right, Um, and you need how many of these guys? Two or three? Need? Yeah? Three?

I think I'm gonna start Howard is my running back on my Yeah. I don't think those guys get into your lineup for me. Dez and Landry have to be in because it's PPR. I'm off Ted ginn Jr. Because I think the Saints are gonna get up big and not need him. To be quite honest, Martavis Bryant, I mean you could go his way, but I instead would put Cooper Cup over Martavis Brian. I think there's a lot of mouths to feed in Pittsburgh and there is Juju Smith Schuster coming back. So I go Dez, Landry

and Cup. That work out for you, Zach all right? Fair enough. I hope we can call back when he's in the championship. Next week we have the last caller. Today on the Fantasy Freestyle up in Beantown, we go to Dennis for the honor of being the last guy in the stats over beat Cipher on a Wednesday in the Fantasy Freestyle, it is hump day. Let's hope you get a w Dennis. How can I up? We're up against the breaks, so give me a question. All right, looking for a flex either Mike Evans, I we kill

Robert Woods or zach Ertz. Who's your tight end? That's your flexing? Earth's answer, Henry? Okay. For me, it's either Earth's or Mike Evans. I know Mike Evans has defecated the mattress for you all season long, but can you really look at yourself in the mirror losing in the playoffs with Mike Evans on your bench. Mike Evins was probably like your second round draft pick, right, Dennis. You know he's one of your studs, so that would be

very tough. But um, I go Arts or Evans if you get good words out of Earth that he's healthy and ready to go. I love Earth's against the giants who can't tackle, but otherwise I go with Mike Evans. I hope it works out for you, Dennis. Come on right back. We'll end this episode in the Fantasy Freestyle on a good note. Come on right back. Are you new to Daily Fantasy are you a veteran?

Listen. I love it, but does that like impact your quality of life? Now, a little football on Saturday and Sunday and Thursday. When do you have that opportunity. I'll tell you what, I love it, but I'm not mad if other people are

saying it is a little too much. Week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sport Radio Network. You know what it is. Your voice feeds ha spitting statisticians fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We had a lot of callers today, and I appreciate that. That means that, you know, my stats over beat Cipher is still in the playoffs and

so they're still contending. And you know, that's what I like, because you know, it builds credibility for the man's speed. He's given out advice and they's still playing. You like that. So I didn't get to some of my other spotlight game previews on tomorrow's episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna preview Thursday Night Football as many people's semifinals. We kick off with the Broncos and the Colts. I'm also going to preview, um, you know, some big games, the

Steelers Pats game. Also want to talk about the Seahawks and the Rams in the battle for the NFC West. A lot to get to. We also got the new Young cas track Don't want to debut on tomorrow's episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. We got a lot to do and obviously we will also hopefully take your calls. But the other thing we do is, uh, you know, we check the YouTube feed. Okay, remember you can hit that

like button right there. On the second night of Hanukkah, and I got a man, Chris, the analyst Ventra Uh. He monitors the chat room. He helps answer some of the questions, Hey, Venture, what are the people saying? Are they excited about the second night of Hanukah? Yeah, yeah, they're excited. They're ready for the player. Did they think did they think I said the prayer correctly? That's what I want to know, because I thought I said I thought I did it pretty well. I don't think anybody

really knows the prayer itself. Really, I think you're good. I bet to help people out there that do because you know, I studied Hebrew in college, true story, I took Hebrew for a semester in college. And you know, Chris, I'm jew Ish. What do you got for me? What do people saying out there? All? Right? So here here's the first question. Uh, you gotta pick two PPR and they're all while receivers for them, Vante Adams, Marcus Goodwin too,

the Marius Thomas or Stefon Diggs. Pick two. I'm gonna go Goodwins, and I'm gonna go Goodwin, and I'm gonna go Davante Adams. What I like? I like the DT matchup against the bad Colts, But Um Simeon just hasn't done it, you know, with any of these guys. Manny Sanders hasn't gone over twenty yards in like a month and a half, right, And I just don't like this passing game which now under center and Diggs man, you know,

I love Stefan, can you digs hit? But the truth is, since coming back from that groin injury, the big plays haven't been there. They've tried to get them the ball a little bit, They've tried to hit them even on running plays and end a rounds, and it just hasn't come. Now. I know there's gonna be another game, whether it's this week, whether it's next week with Stefon Diggs blows up, but I don't know if I can count on it now when I have other options like Goodwin and Adams. So

that's where I would go. What do you think, Ventra, I feel you on that because feelings didn't number one guy now without a doubt, So absolutely I like that. But I will tell you this though, Kyle Rudolph in a walking boots. Still. If Kyle Rudolph doesn't play, then I gotta boost Digs up a little bit, you know, absolutely.

And the thing with Adams, though, that worries me, is that, um now that Rogers is coming back most likely, you know, I don't know if the amount of targets he's been getting for Adams, yeah yeah, But you think everybody's just gonna all of a sudden, all of a sudden, Jordy Nelson is gonna be back like the wide to say, I don't think so. I think Adams is still gonna be the Yeah, I'd still start him absolutely, That's what I'm saying. All right, fair enough, we gotta time for

one more question. If you got one, yeah, I got you, all right, So this is you pick one in a standard format, Tyreek Hill, Doug Baldwin, THEO Riddick, Derrick Henry and the standard. Well. I like Baldwin, I like Dougie Fresh, I like teach me how to Douggie. When you said, uh, who's the running back? You said, THEO Riddick and Derrick Henry. It looks like a Mirabdula. Your boy Chris might be back this week. If Abdullah is back, then I can't ride out Riddick in that situation. Okay. If he's not,

then I love Riddick. So Amer Abdulla's what gives me the info on Riddick. Like I said, I like Baldwin. If Riddick is by himself, then it's Riddick. If Abdullah is there, then I'd go Derrick Henry. Yeah, I'm like and Derrek Harry, but I think I go Baldwin obvious,

like Baldwin is my one right there though? Even an option Yeah, I just like I said, I think he's a fool gazzy for me this week, I think the Chargers know what the familiarity in the division, Casey Hayward is gonna be all over hill, and I think that's what they're gonna try and take away if you want

to know the truth. But thanks for adventure, Thanks to my man, the Manimal down there, Chris Bavona in the Fantasy Pit of Misery, and most of all, thanks to you, the listeners, the watchers, the viewers, the fans, the likers, the tweeters, the followers. We're trying to, you know, get that cash. We'll see you tomorrow. Fantasy Freestyle
