cheerful and joyful entertainment. Oh, you better have the Fantasy Squats Radio Network on your phone or tablet device. Merry Christmas to take out the manora. It is time to take out the menorahs. You know what it is here on the Fantasy Freestyle speeds. That's beitten statistician. Get ready to celebrate a Thursday. Before we start celebrate week fifth teen and your fantasy playoffs. We also have to celebrate the third crazy night. You know, guys on the YouTube stream,

let me know how I do. I got mixed reviews last night. So here we go. Here we go for the third night of Hanukkah. Baroka dounai lu me how alamanu obamb it's vu tall vitsy vanu leja dick nor shell Hanika. We are now in the third night of Hanukah. If you're out there watching on the West coast, just imagine the sun has gone down already, but it is

now the third crazy night. So let's keep it going in our third crazy night by going around the league with news and no So the first thing I'll say before we get to the practice reports, UH Giants owner John Mara says that he wants Eli to return to the Giants in two thousand and eighteen. I gotta tell

you something. I actually think Eli would be the perfect you know, bridge quarterback slash mentor if they do use what will likely be a top five pick for the Giants on a quarterback, and um over at another network, they had a mock draft happened with Sam Donald, like I've been talking about, going number one and Josh Rosen the chosen run going to the New York Giants at number two, Josh Allen going number five. Then I believe

Todd mcshay's one point draft. So listen, it's very viable for a team like the Giants wind up with Rosen and still want to have Eli Manning there in the same way that Eli Manning sat for the first half of the season underneath Kurt Warner. Let's get to the practice reports here. Leonard four Nette still did not practice with that quad injury. I'm telling you he's becoming another keya kind of player. My neck, my back. This time it is his quad. He continues to miss practice. Keep

an eye on him. On Friday's practice report, for sure, Mike Wallace did not practice with an ankle injury. Kyle Rudolph still not practicing. This is very important. I think this is one of the most important ones. I believe playoff teams have Kyle Rudolph. But here's the other thing. A lot of playoff teams speeds the spitting statistician included have Stefon Diggs, and I bet if you own Stefon Diggs you are frustrated and are right now like Dow, I start Stefon Diggs this week or not. I gotta

tell you the truth. If Kyle Rudolph cannot play this week, then I think Stephen can you Digs? It becomes a very viable wide receiver. Amari Cooper still not practicing. They're saying that he is now expected to miss Week fifteen Sunday Night football against the Dallas Cowboys. That means it looks like Michael Crabtree, you know, could really own that secondary and own the targets by himself. And here is a new ad someone who did not practice his DeAndre Hopkins.

This is a toe injury. He was not on the practice report of the injury report at all yesterday, so that means he sustained an injury in practice this week. If you have DeAndre Hopkins, I know you're already a bit worried because he's facing the cat scratch fever in the Jacksonville Jaguars. This cannot be good news to add on top of it. However, I would still certainly play DeAndre Hopkins if he is active, and I still expect him to be I expect him to get in limited

work tomorrow and be active. As long as he is active, I would say play him limited in practice today. Kelvin Benjamin was limited. I'm fading this Bill's offense because we're hearing there maybe snow and Buffalo again this weekend. Juju Smith Schuster was limited in practice. This also a new ad. You never like to see that, this compounding I'm off Juju this week. I remember telling you guys, now you

know it's Belle, you know it's Brown. But now with both Juju and Bryant kind of in the mix, I think it's good for the Steelers, but less good to try to figure out which one of those two guys,

Brian or Juju is the true wide receiver too. And here's another one, And this I had to bring up because yesterday, if you heard, when I previewed that Saturday night game of Chiefs and Charges, my fool gazey was Tyreek Hill, and I said, I thought Casey Hayward and the Charges would make priority number one to try to prevent the big play to Tyreek Hill, which could as you know, ignite the Arrowhead crowd. We'll check this out. Casey Hayward limited in practice with a calf injury. In

this is, you know, something we haven't seen before. So maybe Hayward is a little bit banged up. And I gotta tell you, if Hayward is banged up, I retract everything I said about Tyreek Hill being a full gazzey. Remember though, I did go against the grain and say I believe the Kansas City Chiefs win that battle for a f C supremacy on Saturday night. Joe Mixon back practicing. Still has not necessarily cleared the concussion protocol, but is back practicing. That is not a good sign for Giovanni

Bernard if that becomes a split backfield. Tyrod Taylor is in fact practicing coming back from that knee injury. It looks like he will start for the Buffalo Bills against the Miami Dolphins this week. Matt Forte back practicing. Remember he's dealing with this knee issue, but it looks like this is now just the kind of schedule for him. It looks like he gets another off day on Wednesday

to kind of rest it up. Remember this is a veteran who has been in the league for a long time, knows what he's doing, but at the same time they're trying to manage his reps. He was back and he should be just fine as the Jets take on the Saints this Sunday, and Adam Feeling was limited I guess the other day, but he's been upgraded to full. Adam

Feeling is good to go. Remember, I completely believe that Feeling and Diggs get a little bit of a boost up if Kyle Rudolph, the red zone reindeer cannot go because it has been Rudolph in the end zone a lot in the last couple of weeks. He has gotten in the end zone, so someone else might catch touchdowns from case Keenum and that will likely be Feeling or Digs. All right, let's keep it moving here. What I said I wanted to do was preview Thursday night football. So

let's do that right now. We have, you know, Week fourteen kicking off in about an hour from now, an hour ten minutes from now, You've got Broncos go in Indianapolis to take on the Colts. Like I said, the Colts are two and a half point home underdogs. You know, I love the home dogs. The total in this game is forty one. Some shops may have it at forty and a half, forty one and a half, it's right around forty one. Let me tell you what I think

about this game. I think that Denver is a much better team at home than they are on the road. There are some teams that are good enough that it doesn't matter. Most of the league is dramatically better at home than they are on the road. The Denver Broncos, with Trevor Simeon and at quarterback, are one of those teams. I gotta tell you the truth. I have not liked what I've seen out of Trevor Simeon. Okay, I have not liked what I've seen out of Manny Sanders. Manny

Sanders is a little bit banged up. Hasn't done much with Trevor Simeon. Checked this out. In his last four games, he has had less than twenty yardards receiving las In twenty yards receiving, Manny Sanders is usually is capable of getting that. On one reception in the last four games, he has not gone over twenty yards. I know they have a great match up against the Indianapolis Colts who I have been saying, Oh you hear their secondary is blunt, guts trashed. But I still don't think it keeps going

for Manny Sanders. I think Manny Standers continues to struggle with Trevor Simeon under quarterback. In fact, Manny Sanders is my fantasy for this game Thursday Night Football. He's somebody that I would forget about. I would not look Manny Sanders way. You want to know whom my diamond in the rough for this game is, It's Marlon mack Here's why. Okay, don't forget what did the Colts do last week? They were up in the snow in Buffalo. That game went

pretty much almost to the end of overtime. You know, there's only like a minute left in that game when Shady McCoy got in the end zone for the Bills to beat the Colts. Last Sunday. Okay, Frank Gore had thirty six carries. Remember, Rank Gore is getting up there in age. Okay, Frank Gore had thirty six catch carries, his highest total of the season. It was in the snow, and now they're coming into a short week on the road. I believe that you're gonna see Marlon Mack get a

little bit more opportunity today in tonight's game. I think Marlon Mack is gonna get a little bit more carries, and I think that could be good. The only other guy I want to point out to you in this game who I like a lot of people have been asking me questions about this guy. I like Jack Doyle tonight. I think Jack Doyle is a viable tight end. I would start him over even guys like Evan Ingram if

you want to know the truth. He has become the number one receiver for these Indianapolis Colt Do you believe that Jack Doyle actually has twenty one more receptions than t Y Hilton. I think Jacobe Brissett has found his security blanket. And remember you know this Denver pass defense on the outside with a keep to leave and Chris Harris, I think they can kind of handle t Y Hilton.

They can kind of handle Moncrief Chester Rogers. I think Doyle running in the middle of the field might be the number one target and the most effective weapon in the Indianapolis Colts pass game tonight. I like Jack Doyle. I like Marlon Mack. I'm off Manny Sanders as it relates to this game. You know me. You know I've gotta go with the home dog every time. I don't go with the home dog, especially on a Thursday or a Monday night football in a spotlight national game environment.

I am always kicking myself the next day, so I am not going to do it. I am taking the Indianapolis Colts to win out right today. I also would take the under on this game. I see this game as like a twenty kind of game. Give me the Indianapolis Colts. I just hope Jacoby Brissette can make it through the game healthy. I know a lot of you guys might have the Denver defense. I know a lot of people might be deciding around Manny Sanders, T Hilton to Marius Thomas. Do I put C. J. Anderson in

my lineup? So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna now open up the phone lines when we come back, So ligne on up if you want to ask your questions to Speed the Spitting Statistician, we will start to take them when we come back. On the Fantasy Freestyle, it is the third night of hand, the beginning of week fifteen, and the beginning of the semifinals. Let's go. It's the Fantasy Freestyle Hunter Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softmores are not due to slump. They're

due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and deellu the app f A T s Y Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven the best Fantasy Sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Dane Martinez speeds the

spitting statistician, holding you down. We're getting you ready for week fifteen, which is many people have their semifinals, their playoffs, so we gotta win their leagues and win that cash. We're gonna open up the phone lines right now, they are open and lighting up. We're gonna take callers in a hot second. But first I promise you guys at the top of the show, I said it yesterday as well. We gotta get into that new young cause track. These guys have been killing it all season long. Let me

tell you something. First of all. First of all, they embody hashtag stats over beats, and it is not easy to do the cadence of the song, to imitate the rapper and to actually get legitimate fantasy football you know, information and reactions in there. So once again, big shout out to my guys young is the effect what they did this week is they talked a little bit about Shady McCoy in the snow. So if you're talking about Shady,

you know you gotta go to slim Shady. Check it out, young pods parodying Uh, you know, a good old eminem track. Let's get that going, Bovona. Let me show you something though, Buff gets a ninety two yards via the air. Meanwhile, Shady McCoy goes thirty two one fifty six in the tut two NFL teams just playing outside, playing outside, playing outside. Guess he's back back again, Shady's back. Tell friend, guess

he's bad. Guess he's back. Guess guess you just witnessed some monstuff because nobody wants to play marsh on them all and they want Shady, not shopped live. Well, if you want Shady, let's see what I give you. A little bit us know only makes me a quick no ti Rodato, jump start the run. Take a random shot when they get rocked to the hospital. On my doctor with this scuple when he's outper rating slice and he's

and breaking nesting for cool ouper rating. You waited this long to stop debating because I'm back there and he carries get some masticating. I know that you've got a job for Brady, but don't worry. Let me run it. Don't be complicated. It's the a f C. Won't let me for you. Just let me be me with the lanes. I see they try to shut me down on third and three, but the zones empty without me, So come on this live linebacker's rind screen pass going on it

another one miss and get better. The workloads getting real heavy, top spot. That's right, I'm coming for you. Love. This looks like a touch for me, So everybody just follow me because we need a little rush shaped kitty because the end zone timpty without me. I said, this looks like untouched for me, So everybody just follow me. Do we need a little Russian empty without me? And then and Anna Nara Naran, you're an earner and big shout out as always to young cos the effect I'm telling

you it takes actual talent. They turn it around real quick, they follow along the song, they get actual references, and they even had a little decent impression of Eminem right there. And you know I love that they sample my boy. You know yours truly speeds of spitting statistician. Alright, let's open up the phone lines. We got a lot of people lined up that want to hollow at the spitting statistician. Let's get down to the status over beat cipher. We've

lit the menorah. I've told you my pick for the Thursday night game. I'm going home dog in the Indianapolis Colts. I am fading the Denver Broncos. Trevor Simeon on the road. I think Jack Doyle gets to eat a little bit in the middle of the field today because I'm avoiding the Denver Broncos on the outside. I think Marlon Mack gets a little bit more touches. And I'm fading many Sanders. But we go now to the phones, and we start with r J and Callie. How you doing. R J,

You're on the status over beat cipher with speeds. Let's help you get a W in your playoffs? What's up? Yeah? Let's do it. So I've got a little bit of an embarrassment of riches, like a year, my two running backs, two receivers, and uh flex. All right, let's go a position by position. It's VPR tim of these running backs, all right, McCaffrey, Jordan Howard, Kenyan Drake and Jamal Williams. I like CMC definitely because it's a PPR league, you know,

So I like that McCaffrey opportunity. And I gotta tell you the truth. I really like Jamal Williams. I really like Jamal Williams. He's been doing it in the receiving game and in the running game, been getting into the end zone. You gotta figure with Aaron Rodgers back this week, maybe they're a little bit more prolific on offense. I like CMC and I like Williams. Part of me why I want to fade Jordan Howard this week. I think Kareem Hunt though it's viable for us in the flex options.

So let's keep going. R J, what are you doing at wide receiver? Wide receiver got Michael Thomas, got Doug Baldwin, Davante Adams, and Josh Gordon, and we need two of these. Yeah, all right, and it's PPR you said. Though I love Baldwin, I think Baldwin is good this week. I'm off Michael Thomas r J. Because I believe that I told I was saying that last hour here. I think the Saints has really become a running team, um, and I think that they're gonna be able to, you know, steamroll the

Jets without having to leverage Michael Thomas. You know. And Michael Thomas, I think he's only had like one or two hundred yard games so far this season. So I'm off him. He's not in consideration for me. For me, it's Baldwin. And and the thing comes down to it, r J. Do you think that with Aaron Rodgers back, all of a sudden, Jordy Nelson becomes the main guy again? You know what I mean? R J? Yeah, Yeah, I

think Jordy Nelson is probably gonna catch a touchdown or two. Okay, So if that's what you think, then you need to go with your gut and you need to not start Davante Adams. You need to go with Doug Baldwin and Josh Gordon and then because that's the way you think I would flex Kareem Hunt. That's the way I would go with it. R J. What do you think? All right? All right, sounds good to me. All right. I hope, I hope you you know, are able to call back

next week because you advanced in your playoffs. Up next, we go down to Austin where we love to keep it weird, and it is Dave. Dave is on the statue of Beach Cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help you get a w Dave? Hey, what's going on? Man? I actually called earlier in lost Reception in the morning cast, but uh, I got two quick questions one of the quarterback, so I rolled out Aaron Rodgers, Stafford or Cousins. Listen, you got Aaron Rodgers probably for this exact reason. Did

you draft Avon Rodgers? Did you pick him up after someone else dropped him when he got hurt? I picked him up two weeks ago, right, So let me ask you this, Dave. You picked him up for this exact situation? Correct for this week? Right? You're like, I picked him up because oh, on December whatever it is, eighteen, I want to start Aaron Rodgers, right, yeah, So go ahead and start him then, Man, go ahead and start him, David. I I'm I'm a little I'm a little hesitant because

the matchup against Carolina. Carolina is a physical team, you know, and they have been given it up to quarterbacks and white receivers. But I'm worried about him making it through the full game. That's my concern. I think he'll be back out there and be like a good quarterback. He's a much better quarterback than you said, Kirk Cousins. And there was one other option, but that's the only thing that gives me cause for pause, you know, and Stafford's hand has been a little bit banged up. Um, I

go Aaron Rodgers. Man, if you told me it was like Philip Rivers or Big Ben or even Matt Ryan and a plus matchup or Russell Wilson, then I would, you know, stay away from him. Um. But we've been having this debate on the network all week long, like how far do we go? Who are we starting over? Aaron Rodgers and the guys you name, they're not people I would So I would go Aaron Rodgers, Dave, what else you got? Uh? I believe it or not? On first in my in my lead and my running backs

are trash. I have uh Rex Burkhead, P Ryan, I have DeMarco Murray, McKinnon and Jonathan Stewart and m Bernard with Cincinnati. All right, and you said this is PPR alright, So because it's PPR, I gotta go Rex Burkhead. Rex Burkhead has to be in the line up because it's PPR format. You've seen what he's been able to do in the in the passing game for New England. Okay, I'm off Jerick McKinnon. Let me tell you why, Dave.

I'm off Jerick McKinnon because I think the Vikings are gonna truck the Bengals and in game flow in close games it's been McKinnon. But when they're up big, they turned in hand theball to Lettavi's Murray to run out the clock, and I think that's what's gonna happen. So I'm off McKinnon. Um, you mentioned Giovolani Bernard, but it looks like Joe Mixon will be back in the mix. Um no pun intended this week, so that makes me

off Bernard. Um, it was p Ryan and who else? Uh, DeMarco, Murray and Stewart not Stewart Stewart had a good game, but that's an anomaly. He's not gonna score three touchdowns again. Okay, he got in the end zone three times. Cam Newton is the goal line back for the Panthers. Okay, I am not starting Jonathan Stewart. I actually have Jonathan Stewart on the bench of one of my leagues. I am not compelled by his three touchdowns. Um So for me, it becomes between p Ryan and DeMarco Murray. I actually

think you can go either way. I have a very slight lean to Soma j. P Ryan, just because there's no one left in Washington and in uh Tennessee. You know, Murray has been really kind of sharing with um uh Derrick Henry and so so I know there's a great matchup. It's a great match up against the San Francisco forty Niners. But I think they split the load between Henry and Ari, and I think p Ryan has the load all to himself and can do more work in the passing game.

I go Birkehead and p Ryan. I hope it works out for you, though, Dave, and keep it weird down there in Austin. All right, man, appreciate all right, up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go up to Chicago and we talked to Hector. Hector, I spoke to I believe earlier in the week. Let's keep the conversation going because we gotta get a w in the playoffs. How can we help you win your league and win that cash? Hector? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds? What's good? How's

it going? Quick? Shout out to you? Up? That's what sucks, right, It is not easy to impersonate eminem and the kind of beat that he's riding over and literally have relevant fantasy. That's what I'm talking about. I like the love a Man young exactly. That's why. So of course you like it, right, So that's not like the theme song to your week. That's what's up, Hector. How can we help you keep it moving though? How can we help you keep it going?

All right? Um? I got I need you to pick two wide receivers and out of these spies, all right, what are thet uh it's the new It's the new day at Tampa Bay, Crab Tree, crab Kill, Tyreek Hill and one more, who is it? And the wide receivers out of those and I'm gonna add one more once you give me those. Now do it now, because we're up against the break. We're up against the break, so I gotta answer that when we come back from commercial. So who's the other guy, Ron Smith? Okay, fair enough,

here's what we're gonna do, Hector. We were about to go up to break. I hear the music bumping in my ears from Chris ba Bona the animals. When we come back, we're gonna answer your question for sure, and then we're gonna take some more calls here on the Fantasy Freestyle, right here in the award winning Fantasy sports Radio Network. I got you, though, Hector. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, yet in the pocket of your cat e's.

We'll check it out now you can. It's a Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. Download it down to your phone. We promised, no weird viruses, no strange tracking things, just twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, of pure fantasy knowledge dropping all over your head. It's a Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. Stop being a weirdo and streaming it online. Get it on your phone, take it

with you every where you go. Welcome back. It is the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. A lot of chatter going on about my gosh young causing the effect mixed messages. I gotta tell you it is not easy. They completely embodied hashtag stats over beat, and so does my entire cipher, and we got people on the phone lines that want to get after it. Uh. First though, I had to answer Hector's question he had a bunch of wide receivers, and then he threw in

Rod Smith. I gotta tell you, Hector, I am not on Rod Smith. I think he was a little Man Mambo number five, a one hit wonder last week. And um, I think they try to use more of Alfred Morris depending on that game script. So it's not gonna be Rod Smith for me. These four wideouts, I like all of them. If you want to know the truth, I'm gonna go Crabtree, I'm gonna go Gordon, and then I'm

gonna go Mohammed. It it's a new day. Um. I think Casey Hayward is is going to be the focus the chief the Chargers defense is gonna focus on Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill is real boomer bust. I know they have been going back to him in the deep play, but he's also liable to get you a four catch for thirty seven yards along with one carry for eight yards, and that's not what you need. The potential is there, but a sneaky feeling tells me he's not gonna pop off.

He was my fantasy fool Gazzy actually for the Saturday night game. So I'm going crabtreet Gordon and it's a new day. I hope that helps out there in Chicago. We keep it going on the phones. Up next is Keen in Cali. Uh, we're out there in California. We got Keen trying to get down with the status over beach Cipher. How can I help you get a w what's going on? Man? Yes? Indeed, um, I'm actually my opponent is favorite by about twelve points. So you want

to hit the home run, you're going boom a bust. Yeah, run. He got a three headed months to with his running back. You got Kamala, he has Levian and he also has uh got Todd Gurley. Yeah, those are pretty good running back. So what's your question? What do we got for you? Okay, my mind is uh. I have Kareem Hunt Kenyan Drake as my starters at running back and as my starters at receivers. I have Josh Gordon and Crabtreet liked to figure out my flax. I have Cooper Cup and uh,

Chris Hogan. I'm trying to figure out between those two and Ryan? Is this PPR standard pp alright? Alright, keen um let mena tell you something. P Ryan is the safer play because he's the one who's gonna get you guaranteed touches. Right. You know, he is going to get some running yards. You know he's gonna get some production. He's the safer play. If you're going boom umber bust, if you've already said that, you want to try to, you know, swing for the fences of these guys. I

think the answer is Chris Hogan. Okay, p Ryan, I think is the safe play, the conservative play, the one with the safer floor. Okay, Cooper Cup, Cooper Cup to me, you know, I'm worried about the return of Robert Woods in that game for the Rams to try to sacrifice some of his potential. But Hogan, I think is the one who has the best boom potential. Remember earlier in the season there were games when Hogan would get in the end zone multiple times, and you gotta think that's

Patriots Steelers game. I think is gonna be pretty high scoring. I think they're gonna be going up and down the field. My answer for you, Keen, I think Chris Hogan is to play, especially if you want that boom or bus play. Given the stud that you're facing at the running back position. I think p Ryan is the safe play and Hogan is the boom or bus play. I hope that helps you out Keen up next on the Fantasy he Freestyle, we keep it in Cali. We're gonna be in Cali

for the next couple of calls. We go down to Los Angeles and we talked check in with Fred. Hey, Fred, how can I help you win your leagues and win that cash? You're on the status over beat. Cipher with the spitting statistician, was good, Hey, what's up, speeds Dilley Man? How's it going, Dilly Dilley? Yo. They gave me this fancy water bottle. You gotta see, I usually have bottle of water, a couple of water out here that I'm drinking. They gave me this fancy vass water all the way

from Norway, our teasonal water from Norway. I was gonna go Dilley Dilley to you, but I don't know if it's acceptable to do it with some water. But Dilley Dilley to your Fred, how can we help? Oh man? I got two, two big questions for you. Three receivers will trying to decide which two to go. It's PPR dig it, yeah, and I got Jeffries and Marvin Jones and PPR. I want to go to two of them. Two of them I I go. Uh So, let me tell you something. I may answer this in a roundabout

way right now. I would have Actually it sounds crazy, but I have Jeffrey as the guy without a chair when the music stops. Okay, um, And here's why I'm I'm conflicted on Stefon Diggs. But I said it at the beginning of the show. Kyle Rudolph is still banged up. Okay, he was in a walking boot earlier this week. If Kyle Rudolph doesn't go, I think that's a big time

boost to Adam Feeland, who doesn't need it. But I think it's a boost to Stefon Diggs, and that makes me want to put Digs in my lineup because Kyle Rudolph may not go. So because of those reasons, I like, Stephen, can you digs it? The reason I'm off Jeffrey this week is because remember they changed to Nick Foles, right, and Nick Foles hasn't had the opportunity to gain that kind of chemistry with his number one receiver. I think he instead is gonna go to familiar options that he

knows from years past. Who is that that zach Ertz? That's Nelson AGHALOI right, So I that gives me a little bit of cause for pause. They're also I believe that the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna be up regardless of who the quarterback is. And I think they're gonna use their three headed monster at running back a little bit more in this game because I don't think they're gonna need to throw to beat the pathetic New York Football Giants. So that's it for me. What else you got, Fred?

I have a flex question to have about Mico Murray, m Alfred Morris theoretic and one of one of those guys and it's PPR. Yeah, and that PPR. I love theo ritic. Theoretic is my answer for you and PPR. You know if you have him on your team, he gets work in the passing game and they are down on a mirror. Abdulah. It sounds like a mirror of Dula may come back tie on Green. I don't believe in he's a fool. Gazzy Riddick is the guy they've been using even in UM in the red zone. I

like theo Ritic at your flex. I hope it works out for your fred. Uh. If it does, do me a favor, call me back next week. We'll help you win the championship. Dilly Dilly. Up next here on the Fantasy Freestyle is Caesar in l A as well. Hey, we're trying to, you know, keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Help everybody advance in the playoffs. You are no exceptions, sage, So how can we help you get okay? Hey? What's how speed? Um? All right, so

I'll make it quick. First of all, thank you for your help, Thank the rest of the staff for helping us throughout the season. And Um, absolutely your kind words are definitely appreciated. What's up, um? So I have a Russell Wilson starting QB. I have their early McCoy and this is a standard league. I'm trying to figure out which two wide receivers and a flex to start I have to choose from. I have al Sean, I have Adams, I have Jordy, and I have Golden Kate to choose from.

How many do you two wide? Okay, who are the extra running backs? Running backs I have are a giant Miller and Morris. All right, here's where I'm going. And it's a standard league. You said you already heard me with the last caller. I'm a little bit down on al Shan Jeffrey today. I like um Golden Tate and I ask you a question backs he saw, Um, do you believe Jordy Nelson all of a sudden pops back off because Aaron Rodgers is back? Do you buy that

narrative or not? That's what it comes down to. Like, I can understand if you think that's the truth. But I can also understand because you've had him on your team and he continues to defecate the mattress if you're just done with him. But what do you think that happens with the return of Rogers. I think he might do maybe four or five catches, but you still think Davanta Adams. But you still think Davanta Adams is in

the umber one there right. I think Adams with Rodgers will probably give me maybe at most and the touchdown, all right, So I agree with you. I think Adams is over Jordy. If Jordy pops off and returns back to form, then hey, you know, then it truly is some kind of chemistry with Aaron Rodgers. But I go Golden Tate, I go Davante Adams, and then in the flex, I like Lamar Miller. I think they need to ride Lamar Miller in Houston. Remember they have the um you know,

they have backup quarterback in and t J. Yates. Then now DeAndre Hopkins is on the injury report. I think they're gonna try to kind of win this game with their run game in Houston. And that's the only way too. You know, they're not gonna throw well successfully against the Jacksonville Jaguars, So I could see Lamar Miller getting a lot of opportunity. So I go Tate, I go Adams, and then I flex Lamar Miller. I hope that works out for you, Seesar, we keep it moving here. We

got time for a couple more callers. We go to North Carolina and we talked to John john Is on the stats over beat Cipher here on the fan see freestyle talking to Speeds. How can we help you get a w and keep it going in the playoffs? Was good? Hey, what's going on? How you doing? Maam? I'm chelling? What's up? So before I get into my question, I got a bold prediction for you here. I'm laying on a little bench Philip Rivers, and I'm going to play Jimmy Gar.

I love the Jimmy G matchup this week. I love the Jimmy G matchup. This week. The San Francisco forty Niners are hosting the Tennessee Titans. I love that. I love you being brave right there with Jimmy G. The Tennessee t fifth against the run and twenty second against the past. And if I was you, if you like Jimmy G, I'd try and find Markey's goodwins somewhere if I could as well and stack them up. Um, what

else you got? Because we're up against the break, So let me get any questions you got alright, So I'm gonna give you three running backs and three wide receivers, and I need one running back and I need one wide receiver. There PPR standard running backs, standard scoring, okay, but do so for running backs. We got Alex Collins, Collins, Jamal Williams, and J. P. Royn. Let's go one at a time here. I like you know what. I I

love Jamal Williams. My only problem is I think he's boosted in PPR settings and you said this is standard. And also Aaron Rodgers coming back. I'm going I like Collins. You know Collins has been a stud lately. He gets in the end zone and you know he's a ground game kind of guy. I'm going, Alex Collins, give me your wide outs real quick before we get commercial break. Alright, wide receiver, I need one of these, Tyree Kill, Brendan Cooks or Josh Gordon's all right, I can tell you

right now, I'm leaning towards Brandon Cooks. And here's why. If you watched the Steelers their last game on Sunday night, one of the points collins Worth made is that the way to beat the Steelers past defense is down the field. They're giving up big plays over the top, and that is Brandon Cooks his specialty. So I think Brandon Cooks is someone Tom Brady is gonna rely on. I called Tyreek kill my food gaze in the Saturday Night game, and if any time i could be away from Josh Gordon,

then I'm gonna do it. Although I respect the skill, but my answer for you is Brandon Cooks. And I like that Jimmy Garoppolo call as well. When we come back, I got one more call John and Torrence. I see you will answer that and we'll tie up this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle coming right back. This message is paid for by the United Elf Foundation. What's up, fellow Elves. This is Jumping Jack's, your treasurer of the North Pole's

ui F South Division. We've brought several ads here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network because we all know how much Christmas Elves love fantasy football. You know it. The ui F wanted to remind all Elves on Fantasy Football Sunday leave from the North Pole that the last shuttle back to the workshop leaves our secret spot at eight p m. Sunday, So that's immediately after the Fantasy Sports Radio network ends the seventh straight hours of live game

day coverage. What's up? If you traveled by magic, please disregard this message and remember that you're expected back in the workshop by nine am Shop on Monday, so you can still listen to the full two hours of the Roto Experts recap, then transport yourselves back. All right, thank you all. I appreciate it, and best of luckily, your fantasy playoff teams, Your elf is out. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

You've got Dame Martinez looking at ahead to week fifteen. Many people are in the playayoffs. My stats over Beat Cipher is definitely in the playoffs because they're still asking questions. And if you're still asking questions, that means you are still live to win your league and win that cash. I got one more caller that I want to try to help out. It is John and Torrance. You're on the Stats over Beat Cipher the Fantasy Freestyle with Speeds

and spitting statistician. What's going on? John? What up? Speeds? Dilley Dilley, Dilley Dilley. Um, I got for net and it looks I don't know if he's gonna be out, but with the thigh injury, with the claude, yeah, yeah, So I got Dion Lewis on the bench, and then that's as far as running backs. I have DeVonta Freeman the other spot. Would you pick up t J. Yelled In or Ivory or play? Now? If for Nett doesn't

go in that scenario, I'd plug Dion Lewis in. I like Louis over say the yelled In or the Ivory, because to be quite honest, you don't know which one it's necessarily gonna be. John, You know what I mean. There have been times where we've heard t J. Yeldon would get the start and then Chris Ivory goes off

and vice versa. So first of all, I gotta tell you, though, John, I, ultimately I do think big Leonard four Nett is going to play, So I think you're gonna be okay ultimately, But in that scenario, I would start Dion Lewis over any of the kind of replacement Jaguars. All right, I hope that helps you out, and thanks for the call. As always here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I told you

here's what we're gonna do. Tomorrow, No problem, No problem, John, Tomorrow, I'm gonna be giving out my DFS line up for Week fifteen. You need to take that DFS lineup and go on over to www Dot Fantasy Factor dot com. I love Fantasy Factor, especially if you're dipping your toe in the DFS water. You don't want to compete against these guys that have, you know, twenty fifty lineups out there, single entry tournaments, exclusively single entry tournaments at fantasy factor

dot com. Smaller prize pool, smaller tournaments, you legitimately have a chance not against these guys with their algorithms and their hundreds of lineups. They always do a free roll out there. We love it over there at www Dot fantasy factor dot com. And also I gotta remind you guys over there at the promo we're doing on Daily Roader dot com slash d k ms, there is now only two weeks left to win that free roll and

go to Week seventeen, which is the championship. And if you win that, remember you go up to get tickets for two to the big game up there in Minnesota, um, you know, justin timber Lake. And I believe Janet Jackson performing there as well. But remember, even if you don't win, you're still a winner at life because you can help out how to help the fight against blood cancer. You swab your cheek, send it off. You see, if you're a match, you could be a blood marrow, a bone

marrow donor a blood donor. It really helps someone who is struggling with this horrible disease that is blood cancer. We have been raising awareness all season long, and I thank the UH stats overbeats cipher for being a part of that. Um, all right, here's the last thing I want to do is I want to go back to the pole question that we said, Um, you know what is the right parlay? Let me tell you something. Let

me do a little bit of quick math. Here. Seventy two per cent of you like the Broncos minus two and a half as road favorites. Only twenty eight percent like the home dog Indianapolis Colts plus two point five two and a half point. I gotta tell you, I always kick myself every time, so I am not gonna go against my trend. I think the home dogs will bark. You got a great dane right here, after all, I gotta go with the home dog. I like the Indianapolis

Colts to win outright. That over under is an interesting I think this could be sneakily over. So I am going literally, I am picking the one that has the lowest percent of the polls. I'm going with the twelve percent that have the Colts and the over right now fifty percent of you, they'll go completely the opposite way, Broncos and the Under. It is the people verse speeds on Thursday Night Football. I'll tell you what Tomorrow, we will make sure that we figure out which one was

the right call. Tomorrow, we'll give you my other home dogs, will give you a DFS lineup. We will continue to light the Menorah and celebrate Hanaka with our gin and Tonica and our Marijuanica and our Yamakas, and will answer your questions and get everybody ready for what is a huge weekend in the NFL and in fantasy football. I hope everybody gets a w and keeps it going. And I'll see you tomorrow on the Fantasy Freestyle Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Face
