You are now tunes into the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle next on that site book on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet Martinez, you know what it is. It's your boy, Dane Martinez, a k A. Speeds a k. It's Spitting Statistician a k A. The Stable Genius and

vocal Minority. And you are listening to another edition of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Episode three is going down in the books right now, and we got a great show for you. As we slide on into start week two. Listen to Ravens and the Bengals are about to get it started. I'll tell you what I like in that game a little bit later on in the show, and then listen. We'll go through our news and notes. I'll update you

on some of the injuries. Okay, and then, because someone in the chat room asked me on Tuesday, I'm responding to y'all. I'm gonna give you, guys streaming defenses that I like for week two. Okay, we'll cover that. We'll give you my week to DFS plays, all right, we'll talk about Thursday Night Football and some other spotlight games. I already put my picks down for the patrons out there on Patreon, so make sure you could hit me up there or hit me up at spitting speeds on Twitter.

We gotta pull question up as well. I'm asking you guys here in week two of the NFL season, which matchup are you most intrigued by? Which one do you want to watch the most? Which one may you stack in DFS? Right? I acknowledge that those maybe two separate questions, but your choices are Patriots Jaguars game and a rematch of the a f C title game. Is it the

Vikings Packers. Listen, I'm intrigued by that one because a partially broken Aaron Rodgers going up against the defense that broke him last year is going to be very interesting to me as they battled for NFC North supremacy. I think the Chief Steelers game is very interesting as well. Ken Patty asked my homes and Andy Reid and that offense do it again? And what about Pittsburgh Big Ben

with the elbow? We know the situation with Levian Bell, but we also know that the Pittsburgh Steeler offense looks a lot better at home. So we'll talk about that one. We already got a ton of votes out there on the poll. I appreciate that. We'll keep track of that as we go on. Big shout out to my stats overbeat Cipher. Yo. We already got people asking questions. We already got like j ks oh eight Dion Lewis or a P in the flex half point PPR. I'm telling

you right now, I love Dion Lewis. I'm telling you I love Dion Lewis. This week Tennessee for a couple of reasons. One, Delaney Walker is out for the year, right so who becomes that security blanket. Do you really think Marcus Mariota is pushing it down the field as much? I don't think so. I think he's gonna rely on Dion Lewis. Dion Lewis, as you listen on on Tuesday as well, outtouched Derrick Henry to eleven last week. I like Dion Lewis. You also mentioned Adrian Peterson as the

other option there, my man um. I agree with Ernest Valdez saying Dion Lewis um the other thing. And I don't know how much doctor put in it. It's now Thursday. We don't know what it's gonna be like on Sunday morning. But let me tell you something. Hurricane Florence, tropical storm Florence, whatever it is, is going to have an impact on some of these things, on some of these UH matchups in the East Coast. All right, this week we are at every week every season. Excuse me. It seems like

there's one week where that's gonna happen. So Colts and Washington there may be an issue there. Right, what other games maybe impacted? Maybe Tampa Bay, Philly might be impacted. I'm looking at the East Coast games, right, those are the main ones, but definitively that Washington game. You've got Alex Smith, if you have some wide receivers out there, if you you know I, I would worry a little bit about the weather report if it is actually a

full on hurricane. So those are some of the things we're gonna get into, and then in our third segment, listen, we're gonna put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. I got a new remix for the trap game. My stro's my boys Young is the effect? They got one as a result of Week one. You know, they sample the spitting statisticians, so I gotta get in on that. We're gonna play that for you and listen. If you're part of the Status over Beat cipher, you know this last

year we did hashtag Game of Inches. Okay, I talked about it a little bit on Tuesday, but we are going to outline the parameters of that contest. My man Danny Otto is going to be decisive in that. I got some great breaking news for you guys as it relates to that. But let's get into it all right. First of all, since we've talked last on Tuesday, okay, there's been some quarterback situations that I want to update you and some people that are you know, limited or

d NP and practices, I want to update you on that. First, let's start quarterback wise. Josh Allen is gonna start for the Buffalo Bills this week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Now, let me tell you something, and my disclaimer is I think the Chargers will beat the Bills this week. Okay, So if you're like, oh my god, Danny saying the Bills are gonna win, no, I'm not. But I do believe that it's gonna be a lot of bounce back

efforts here in week two. So many people have recency bias from week one, and you know there's a difference, like the Bills are now back home, the Chargers are going west coast to East coast for the one o'clock start. There's also something I'm gonna tell you guys. I said it this morning to Mike Blueood and Scotty Angle. There's something I like to call the close your Eyes Special. I got it from my man's Ryan Kramer over on the Sports Gambling podcast that they're good stuff. To give

them a listen and give them a follow. Um. If a team underperforms with the point spread by more than twenty one point in one week, which the Bills clearly did, right. They were eight point underdogs, but they lost by like forty something. Then the next week. I don't care what it is. I don't care what the line is. Bet them. Okay, that's what I call the close your eyes special in the Buffalo Bills fall into that. They are at home, and by last check they're getting like seven and a

half or eight points at home. I think more than a touchdown is too much. I can see a backdoor cover here. I think some pride happens in the home open her. But I digress. Josh Allen will be on the center, and also Joey Boza won't be there. He's gonna miss the next couple of weeks, so maybe he'll have a little bit of more of a reprieve Josh Allen. That is with the offensive line. Nick Foles is going to start for the Philadelphia Eagles in Tampa Bay. Okay.

Remember so that maybe in the path of the tropical storm. What have you? Alright? So similarly, similarly, we you know they are going down to Tampa. Tampa always gets somebody at home Okay, I'm staying away from that game betting wise as well. Also in Philly, Alshon Jeffrey is progress to doing individual drills at practice, so that's good news for him. And also Doug Peterson said earlier this week that j g I E Is going to get more and more carries as the season goes on as he

heals up from that foot injury. Okay, so people on Twitter asking me about Corey Clement, no, uh, Darren Sprawls, No, this is going to be a gy E and I think he is going to become more and more of a quote unquote workhorse as the season goes along. Marcus Mariota, however, for the Tennessee Titans, he is good to go. Remember you had a little bit of an elbow issue. Looks like he's good to go for a week two, the Titans play the Houston Texans in an a f C

South matchup. I'm intrigued by that one as well. But speaking of quarterback elbows, this is the one you're gonna have to watch, and this impacts a lot of players. Big Ben has miss practiced two days in a row now because of this elbow. Okay, big Ben is the kind of guy who likes to be a little dramatic about his status. Keep it up in the air. I doubt he's gonna miss this game against Kansas City, but it's something to realize. Okay. He has miss practiced the

last two days. Keep an eye out on Big Ben's status for sure. Other people. You may know these people already. Aaron Rodgers hasn't practiced it though, we'll see about him. It looks like he's trending though in the right direction. He's going to give it a go. Leonard for Nett has not practiced, although it looks like he's going to give it a go. You gotta have t. J. Yeldon ready though, just in case Rex burkehead in the concussion protocol.

This one is interesting to me, okay, because if he went into the concussion protocol on Wednesday, I don't know if he gets cleared by Sunday. The other part of this is that Sony Michelle is still coming back from knee injury. Jeremy Hill was sent to i R. This could be a whole lot of James White uh for the New England Patriots against Jacksonville on Sunday. So keep an eye out on that and get to see if Rex Burkehead gets cleared in New Orleans. Teddy Gainn and

Michael Thomas are limited or missing practice. Okay, keep an eye out on that. I think both of them though these are like managing their reps. They'll be there. But something to note. And also, Um Goodwin, Marky's Goodwin in San Francisco is uh banged up still with that quad. He didn't practice on Wednesday. We'll keep an eye out on that. I told you in my waiver wires that I love George Kittle because of that he was unowned

in about a quarter of leagues. If you can still get George Kittle, I would say, run out and do that, all right, Um, big shout out to the stats overbeat Cipher. I got Trey s asking me Watson effort or Ebron at tight end and a full point PPR. That's interesting effort still healthy, but you gotta do that tonight. I think Watson offers a safe floor. I think Ebron is interesting, but he's gonna have Jack Doyle in there as well as long as he's healthy. Tyler Eifford is a guy. Um,

I go with Tyler Eifford. There. Mark Maloney asking about starting Brandon Marshall. I do think Brandon Marshall is startable. Next question out there, j keys oh eight asking Hogan or Stills as a wide receiver too. I told you about Hogan last week, and then he defecated the mattress. He put it in my eye. This week they're playing the cat scratch fever that Jacksonville Jaguars defense. So I continue to like Kenny Stills as an option. I agree with Daniel s who's saying, uh, Kenny Stills. Jim Ross

is telling me that Mike Thomas had a full practice today. Yeah, him and Ted ginn are on the men. Okay, so we're gonna be alright, yo, what up the logic? Eight oh four? UM, big shout out to you, big shout out to the entire stats overbeats cipher. All right, here's what we want to do. I'm gonna give you some DFS guys. I'm gonna give you some DFS guys. I'm putting together here a little bit of a UM tournament lineup with some guys that I like. Uh, And I'm

still you know, I'm still toying with it. I'm still playing with it. Things Like you know, there's still some injuries that I got to manage and understand what the status of players is. There's still this hurricane, you know that I want to find out if it's actually gonna have an impact for the games on the East Coast that are outside. I mentioned which one I'm most interested by, the Washington game. But I say that because in my GPPs and my tournament plays, I'm going Alex Smith. I'm

going to Alex Smith as a guy to think about. Remember, I like to attack the Indianapolis Colts past defense. Okay, that Indianapolis Colts past defense which gave it up to Andy Dalton is now traveling on the road to Washington. Washington, who looked good um in their first week against Arizona, you know, and Alex Smith put up put up nineteen Fantasy points on fan duel. At least he's now coming home facing a better or an easier defense to pass again.

So I like Alex Smith as a sneaky play Hurricane Florence. Not Withstanding I told you about Dion Lewis, I have him in my lineups. Dion Lewis is in my lineup, Okay at six D I really believe that the overflow from losing Delaney Walker. I don't you know only part of it goes to John lu Smith. Only part of it may go to Corey Davis, Right. I think a good chunk of it goes out of the backfield to Dion Lewis. I really like Dion Lewis. Anybody in the chat room was asking me Dion Lewis or someone else,

My answer for you is probably Dion Lewis. I can see Dion Lewis being an RB two this week, especially in PPR settings. Let me give you a couple of wide receivers that I like in my g p P lineup, and I'm spending less on these guys so I can have Antonio Brown right against the Kansas City Chiefs defense if Big Big Ben is the quarterback. I'm having this so that I can have Todd Gurley in my lineup.

You know I'm gonna have Gurley, I'm gonna have a B right, and then I'm gonna have some other off the beaten path, lower price guys to put it together. I gave you Dion Lewis, right, I told you about Alex Smith. Let me give you the two wide receivers that I like. They are both going on FanDuel at sixty one dollars, which is relatively cheap for a wide receiver. Okay, so I think you can get some value there. First, guys, Nelson Agor listen, Nelson Agalore is the number one wide

receiver for this team. I know zach Ertz is gonna get his as well. But we saw this. We saw this, uh in the season opener. Nelson Aglo with eight catches on ten targets. Not many people get ten targets a game. And I think until al Shan Jeffrey comes back, Nelson Aghaloor might. Okay, he's facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, right, and here's the thing, the Bucks just had Vernon Hargraves go to. I R right. I think Tampa Bay is right for the picking. I think Nelson Aglor will be

a piece of that. I think he will outperform his sixty one dollar price. I like Nelson are another wide receiver that I like. It's a guy I've been on all season long. I told you that I believe he will become the number two wide receiver for that team. It is down in the same game. On the other side, I'm looking at Chris Godwin. I like Chris Godwin this week. Okay, remember de Shawan Jackson. He's back at practice, but he went through the concussion protocol. He had I think a

shoulder as well. Deshan Jackson is banged up, all right. And Ryan Fitzpatrick, we know he's slinging it. Okay, So I like Chris Godwin. I think also they're gonna have to score to keep up with Philly. I think this is going to be a game where they may be trailing in the second half to Philly. I think they're gonna be throwing the ball, and I think Godwin is a sneaky play. The last one I'm gonna give you. I'll give you a flex and I'll give you a tight end for what I believe is a good GPP

kind of options. Okay, So not these chalk guys. I'm giving you guys that are off the beaten path. All right. So one guy that I like, Listen, I got Alex Smith as a quarterback. I'm gonna stack them with Jordan Read, especially if there's some weather in this game, then I like the security blanket of Jordan Read. Jordan Read is similar to Tyler Eifford in this way that I answered somebody's question with already. If he's healthy, he's good. The issue,

the issue. We're a guy like Iiford the issue would have got Like Jordan Reed is in season long, you don't know if you want to invest in them season long because they get hurt in DFS. That's not a concern, right. So if they're healthy and Jordan Reed is, he's a great guy, all right, And I'm attacking the Indianapolis Colts past defense alright, So I like Jordan Reed. You can get him at only sixty dollars and I'd stack him with Alex Smith. My flex play is Matt Breeda. I

like Matt Breeder this week. Okay, Matt Breed is facing the Detroit Lions. There rankt against the run um and also, to be honest, Matt Breeda carried the ball eleven times last week. This is not some just Alfred Morris early downs and Matt Breda as a PPR only kind of guy. Matt Breeda is getting carries. Okay, I like Matt Breeda. I like San Francisco. San Francisco is one of my picks this week. I gave it to the patrons already out there on Patreon I believe it's unraveling for the

Detroit Lions. Okay, I think San Francisco their loss last week was more a credit to Minnesota then a knock on San Francisco. In my opinion, it's a credit to Minnesota, who many people believe are one of the NFC contenders to win it all. It's a credit to Minnesota because San Francisco traveled to Minnesota in the spaceship, a very tough home field to play in. They are now coming home, right, so you gotta I like a lot of teams that were on the road in Week one and are now

home for Week two. That is a formula that I like. If they were on the road, you know, you get you're facing that home opener crowd, and now you come home for your home opener. I like that balance because the recency bias will say that they didn't play as well, but I like them coming home to their audience, especially like in this case of San Francisco and Detroit going up against the team that was at home and is now going on the road. And you know, based on

what I told you guys before, it's sort of unraveling. Okay, some of the Lions are upset with Matt Patricia about how they worked them, the rules that he's implementing, things of that nature. Okay, so that's where it is. Those are some guys I like in DFS, and there are some of your updates. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'll give you streaming defenses, I'll talk Thursday Night Football into the spotlight games that I like, and I'll answer some of your questions from the stats

over beat, cipher, suspitting statistician. You know what it is. Vocal, Minority, Stable, Genius, Fantasy Freestyle. Come on right back from the NFL to the NBA.

I was gonna answer your fantasy questions, but then I got high. Oh and I know why. Yeah, because I got high. Because I got high because I got Huh. There you go back to the stats over beat cipher.

You know what it is. It's the fantasy freestyle right here with your boy Day Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician. I got some questions from the stats over beat cipher that I want to answer. Al fumpso was asking should I trade Hilton for Hill or Connor for Alan? Listen, this fits to me, and this idea of like just trying to trade, just to trade t Y Hilton and Tyreek Hill. Yes, I know Tyreek Hill went off in week one, but generally speaking, these guys are like six

of one and a dozen to the other. So like, if you want to, you can, but I don't think you really need to. And similarly, for Connor, Connor for Allen might be a little bit different because eventually Connor

won't be that dude. So if you can get a week to week I'm assuming you mean Keenan Allen here, but if you can get a week to week wide out one, that might be interesting because you know, eventually James Connor, will you know, go back to being a backup at some point, right Jared Savino is Mixing a good start for tonight. Yes, get Joe Mixing in your lineups right now. I'm high on Joe Mixon because I got high. Because I got high. I like Joe Mixing a lot. I think Joe Mixon is definitive RB two.

He is a week two week starter. I think Joe Mixon may even enter the RB one conversation by the time this season is over. I think Joe Mixon will finish in the top three in the a f C in rushing yards barring injury this week. So, Jared, I hope that's a strong enough recommendation for you. Eric Martinez, Tyrod or Goff. That's interesting. My man Danny Otto might be interested in this as well, because I know he's playing with some quarterbacks and goth and Tyrod are in there.

I like them both, I really do. Um. You know, Trod is up against the Saints, who just gave up forty eight points to Ryan Fitzpatrick. But I think they're gonna bounce back a little bit. Um, but Trod does off of the rushing I think the safer play is Jared Goff. Alright, I think Jared Goff is the safer play there as they play the Arizona Cardinals. I know there's Patrick Peterson there, but Goff has that uh fantasy heard with Cooks, with Cup and with Woods. I think

the safer play is Jared Goff right there. Mark Perez is asking me Alex Collins or Carlos Hyde for my flex That is interesting. I like Alex Collins better than Carlos Hyde for tonight, Mark, I like Alex Collins because to me, he's more of the He's closer to a workhorse than Hide is. Hide's gonna split a little bit with chub Um. I like Alex Collins in that one, but it is close. I understand if you can go either way. Mark, trust your gut sometimes Ernest Valdez Stafford

or Alex Smith. That's very interesting. I'm worried about Maddie Stafford. I'm worried about his health. I'm worried about the pass rush that came to him. I'm thinking it could unravel a little bit for Maddie staff in the Detroit Lions. As I've said before, Alex Smith, I like that play you saw. He's my He's a DFS kind of guy for me. So my answer for you, Ernest is I like Alex Smith, but check that weather report on Sunday

if the hurricane is barreling down. Okay, But I do like Alex Smith against the Colts, against the Colts past defense, j Keys, oh eight, Lewis or ap for my flex, I'm telling you I'm riding Dion Lewis. Okay, Dion Lewis is my man. There average Joe full point PPR star. Two of these guys, Hogan, a Cole or Mike Williams. Aglare is definite for me. Aglare is the definite one for me, And then for me it comes down to Keelan Cole or Hogan. I'm not sure about Mike Williams

this week. I told you I'm a little bit down on the Chargers this week. Um. I think they're gonna win the game, but I think it's gonna be a lot closer than people think. For me, it comes down to Hogan or Cole in that game. And I've told you I don't believe in the Jaguar pass game. I know that Hogan is facing the cat scratch fever and likely Jalen Ramsey. So, um, I'm gonna go with a Galore as the definitive one and Mike Williams as the

definitive four of those. And then for me between Hogan and Cole, I have a slight lean to Hogan, but I can understand if you go Cole instead. And then Mario is asking me skills or Royce Freeman. I need to know for that, Mario, if it's PPR, if it's standard, that sort of thing. If it's standard, I like Royce Freeman. If it's PPR, I like Kenny Stills. All right, let's

get into some of these streaming defenses. Somebody in the chat room asked me about defenses specifically on Tuesday, and I said I would get to it in today's show. I am a man of my word, you know. I love the stats over beat Cipher. Um. Anybody who's new as the hundred and seventy people who are watching right now live on YouTube or in the stats over beat Cipher, my man strong style, my man Lance Davis. They're gonna tell you to crush that like button that you see.

It's right over Oh I don't know, it's right like there, it's right there, hit that like button. Okay, you could always um hit me up on Twitter at spitting speeds, But if you really want the exclusive access and all the pics in the community that is the stats over beat Cipher, you gotta hit me up on UM. You gotta hit me up on Patreon as well. Dan Siegel, I'm trying to get to all the ones I can, my friend, I'm trying to get to all the ones

I can. Do me a favorite, Danny, load up Dan Siegel's question for me as well, so that we can definitely get to Dan. I apologize. We can only do what we can do. Our time is uh short. Jim Ross, you ain't new, brother man, you ain't knew at all. But let's get to our Dilly Dilley though to you. Okay, my friend Dilly Dilley. No, it is not water today. All right, let's look at these defenses that I like.

For everybody that's listening here, there's a couple of defenses that I think you can get that are available that I would be happy to stream. The first one I mentioned to you guys, it is my New York j E t S Jets Jets Jets. I like the Jets. I like the pressure that they got on Maddie Stafford. They were flying, they were physical, Okay, turnovers and sacks. I like that. Plus they fit the description of what

I'm telling you. A team that was on the road is now coming home for their home opener, facing a team that was at home and is now on the road. I also told you about how I think that the Miami offense has nothing to write home about. I think they're fugazy overall. If you look at their game last week, remember they got a kickoff return for a touchdown. They had something of an odd game at home with the weather delays. I like the Jets defense this week. I

don't think they're gonna get lit up. I think that's gonna be a lower scoring game. I like the Jets defense this week. Another defense. I mean, you know about Jacksonville, you know about Baltimore. You know about Denver and the Chargers and the Rams and the Texans and stuff like that, and the Vikings, right, Um, I like the Chicago Bears on Monday Night football if they are unowned, but I think they probably are owned in your league. I like

the Chicago Bears on Monday Night. I think that, uh, that front seven is gonna get after a bad offensive line again, same situation, a team that was on the road now coming home for their home opener, this one in primetime on Monday Night football. I like. I like the Chicago Bears defense, so I'm giving you the Jets. I like the Bears defense. Another defense that I like is this Washington football team. I told you about them already. Part of it is, you know, the hurricane if it's

inclement weather, that actually helps the defense, right. I like this Washington defense to me, Indianapolis, the Colts. They only got one wide receiver. It's t Y Hilton. I wouldn't be surprised if he sees a lot of Josh Norman this week. I like this Washington defense also to get pressure on Andrew Luck with that bad offensive line or that improving and still developing offensive line. So there's a couple of defenses that I'm giving you the Jets, the Bears,

the Washington football team. Let me give you one more that I may like. If you have to go a little bit further down, right, Um, people are not gonna people are gonna think I'm crazy about this one. And this is more of a knock on what I saw as a bad offensive line last week, then the quality of this defense per se. But don't sleep on the Giants this week against Dallas and that bad offensive line. They technic they usually have the Giants number, you know,

ELI and those Sunday night games. Um, so you know, I wouldn't prioritize them, But if they're the only guy out there, they're the only defense that's out there for you that you really really like. Let's say you drafted Jacksonville, right and you don't want to start them against New England this week. I would still start Jacksonville over this Giants team that I'm telling you, And you gotta take it all with a grain of salt, but there's a

guy if you're truly desperate. Okay. But my big ones that I would say are sleepers streaming defenses for this week, as per the question from the Stats over Beat Cipher, is the Washington football team, the Chicago Bears, and the New York Jets are my streaming defenses that I personally like, uh for this week. All right, let's keep it moving

to the stats over Beat Cipher. I'm gonna answer some of those questions coming later on My Man Danny Otto is gonna hit me up with those, Danny, let's load up. Let's say four more questions UM to answer, and let's make sure we get my man um. Who was that that said the selective answering um, Let's say, let's make sure we get Let's make sure we get those questions answered. I think it was Dan Siegel. Let's make sure we get Dan Siegel's question answered. You know, Squeaky Wheel gets

the grease. I'm trying to scroll right now, Dan to see what your question even was so I can hit you up, UM, But I don't find it right now. So Danny, do me a favor, find that for me. Hit me up. Uh. Yeah, I know, Surage. It was a short break, but we gotta get it, you know, because Thursday Night football is about to pop off. Alright, So let's talk about um, Thursday night football, this game and then some of these spotlight games that we have up on the poll. All right. And again, I think

the Ravens are a great example of this. They were at home and their home opener and they blew the roof off of the Buffalo Bills. I think that similar to what I said about San Francisco being more credit to the team they were playing, Minnesota being good than them being bad or a losing team. I think the same thing about what I saw out of Baltimore last week. You know, Baltimore maybe a surprising team to some, but I think that was more about Buffalo being dog poop

then Baltimore being amazing. They were at home. They are now on a short week, going on the road to a divisional opponent in Cincinnati. Right Cincinnati was on the road, one on the road, and it's coming home for their home opener in a National Hotel vised game, and the Cincinnati Bengals are getting a point in a half. By last check over on my bookie dot ag, the Buffalo Bill's offensive line is a dumpster fire. The Cincinnati Bengals

offensive line, I think is much improved from last year. Okay, so for me, I know the public, you know, I know the public. Let me check. I think the public is on the Ravens here because they all see what the Ravens did last week. I'm trending a little bit in the other direction. Okay, this is a stay away from game for me. But yep, sixties six percent of the people are betting right now with the Baltimore Ravens on tonight's game, I go the other way. This is

a stay away from me. I wouldn't actually bet this game because I could see it being close. I could see it going either way divisional games. But if you put a gun to my head, I'll take the points. I'll take the home Dogs. If you're down with the stats over beat Cipher. If you remember fantasy freestyle from last year, Okay, I told you about the home Dogs all the time, and now since you on Thursday night football is a home dog, would a kind of reverse

closure Eyes special with the Baltimore Ravens. Okay, So that's my slight lean, but I'm not I'm staying away from it. You know, when I give my picks, this is not one of the picks that I would ride on with my patrons. But um, I'll lean Cincinnati here right now. It's like check the poll, thirty seven percent of you like the Chiefs and the Steelers as your game to stack or watch. Percent say the Vikings and the Packers are going with the Patriots and the Jags as the

game that they want to see. So let me tell you real quick before we go to break about my thoughts on these three games Chief Stealers. I think it's gonna be amazing, Okay, for so many reasons. One, let's say Big Ben does play, and I'm assuming he will. I think this is just big Ben being a drama queen. Okay. Oh, I don't know. If I haven't anymore, Oh, I might retire. Oh, we gotta play with the guys that are there. He likes being out in front as a Colt machine. Okay.

I think he's gonna be on the center for the Pittsburgh Stealers. I don't think we're talking about uh Dobbs or Mason Rudolph or anything like that. And Big Ben at home we know about. And I'm gonna attack this Kansas City past defense every single week. Yeah, the Chiefs one last week, but Philip Rivers put up four hundred and twenty plus yards against them last week. And I like Big Ben at home. I like Antonio Brown to eat big time this week. I like James Connor to

eat big time. I like James ju Ju to eat. I love the skill position players. If vance McDonald is back, I like him potentially as well. And then on the Chief side, listen, we gotta see if this Patty Mahomes thing is for real, you know. I mean this Andy Reid is gonna be scheming these pop passes to Tyreek Hill, you know. And and I like all the Chiefs, you know, but um, we gotta see if it's sustainable. I think points will be scored in this one. I like the

over in this one. Yes, I know that the over is very high. I know that the over is fifty three in this one. But I can see a shootout. I can see this one being a shootout. I bet the over on Chiefs games every single week of the season. And if you did that last week against the Chargers, you are looking good. When it comes to the Vikings and the Packers, here's my thing. If you heard me on um Rhodo Experts in the morning when I gave my Super Bowl pick or my playoffs, you know, I

like the Packers in this division. Aaron Rodgers is not Aaron Rodgers is banged up, and the Vikings are the team that got to him last last year. You know, I like Minnesota. I like Minnesota in this game just because they're healthier. To me, Aaron Rodgers is compromised. In my opinion, they still don't have Aaron Jones yet coming back from suspension. Just yeah, I like Minnesota in this one. I also believe I gotta double check this is in Minnesota, correct,

Let me check double check that. Let me go double check that one. Green Bay and Minnesota. I can't find that they took them. They took the spread off the board. Okay, they took the spread off the board because of the Aaron Rodgers thing. But now as I check, um, yeah, that game is in Green Bay. But I digress. I still think Minnesota. You know, I think Minnesota is the team that's you know, got the good juju working, and I think all the good juju is contained in Aaron Rodgers,

and he is completely banged up in my opinion. So I like the Vikings guys a little bit better than the Packers guys on this. And then the Patriots and the Jaguars. This one is so interesting to me. Here's what I gotta tell you. First of all, regardless of what Leonard Fournett does, players are not. I think t J. Yelden has value this week. I think t J. Yeldon obviously, if there's no foreignet, he does. But if Fournett does play,

he may not be a hundred percent. They may have yelled in it as more of a hind share than normal. So if it's normally like this, it may be more like this. And I think yelled in. Remember they're gonna have to throw on some level to keep up with the Patriots, and I think yelled in becomes that back. I think Yelleden is the one who's in that kind of are re up formation, the two minute drills, the third down. So I like yelled in um a little

bit here in this Jaguars Pats game. On the Patriots side, Listen, you're facing that Jacksonville defense, right, So you gotta worry a little bit about Hogan because Jalen Ramsey will probably be on him. Right. I still think Gronk is fine. He's gonna be where his Where Tom Brady's bread is buttered. Where Brady's bread is buttered, Say that five times fast. Where Brady's bread is buttered. But um, I like James White a lot. Okay, this Rex Birkhead, Sony Michelle, They're

all kind of trending on their way back. And I really really do believe that James White is going to carry the day for the New England Patriots. Like I said, though at check Chief Steelers are the game that you guys are interested to see. And then some great comments as well. Right, we got Frankie stanfel my Man, one of my best friends forever, out there saying Saints Brown's is a game he's interested in. Clayton Trey hand out

there as well. Big Friended Show also says most looking forward to Pats and Jags, but we'd be stacking this Chiefs and Steelers game. Clayton is on the same page as I am. I think this is gonna be an over kind of game. I think this is gonna be a shootout, one of those old AFL kind of games.

I think Big Ben at home, provided he's there and healthy does work at home, can attack this Chief's past defense and listen the Chiefs the Andy Reid scheme of Patty Mahomes and those weapons they look like they are for real. Will check that out. Jose Lopez, one of my newest subscribers on Patron, says Vegas has this as one of the highest point totals of the week, so I'm thinking it should be fantasy friendly. I can only assume that of those he's talking about the page the

Steelers and the Chiefs as well. Absolutely, I agree. You gotta look at the over under totals and Vegas. They don't go, you know, broke. They build those buildings in the desert because of your money, all right, So I think that's a good way to look at it. To my man, and by the way, Jose is a new patron for me. I want to give a shout out to some of my patrons at the highest level. So shout out right now to Christian Lasso de la Vega. Shout out to Kenneth Spencer, Shout out to Ryan Mallison

who's constantly hitting me up. And shout out to um goes By Hisham all right, hits me up all the time on Twitter. He also edited his subscription to me. He's now hitting me up a four dollars and twenty cents. I wonder where he got that number. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we got a couple more questions that I want to answer from the stats over beat cipher and we put the fun and functional sports content. I got so many reasons why we're gonna

have some fun. We're bringing my man Danny Otto as well to help us talk about the parameters of our Game of Inches contest for this where year, a lot more stuff and answer more questions from the stats over beat cipher as the Fantasy Freestyle coming back.

Check catching up here on the status uh status of a

beat Cipher with the chat room, Gil Lance. I'm a little bit worried that you came late today, but it's all good. Better late than never. I was telling people, you're gonna tell people to crush that like Button and Jim ROSSI I must see you in a couple of weeks. Don't worry about that, brother man. Uh, you know what we should do. We should have you joined the show, maybe on Fantasy Freestyle. Maybe we skype with you to

talk a little bit of smack. Maybe the week after after I put it on you and like my man Lands Davis says, you know what we're gonna do. I'm gonna eat those ws on you, Jim Ross. It's all love, though, brother man. Dilly Dilly to the Cipher. All right, here's what I want to do, all right. What I want to do first is I want to bring in my man Danny Auto. I want to bring in my man Danny Otto as we put the fun and functional sports content. Uh, Danny,

you with me, brother man? All right? First of all, remember when I talked last week and I was like, I'm a little bit down on these new Dilly Dilley commercials. Yeah, alright, so I saw the on with the guy in the guillotine, all right, with the bud Knight and the guy in the guillotine this side. I'll give him a little bit of love for that one. I think the guillotine is kind of like the new Pit of Misery. You know, last year they were banishing people to the pit of misery.

Now you just got them straight up in the guillotine. So I'm okay with that. I'm warming to the dilly dilly commercials of this season. I still like the Stefon digs one with his everything sticks to his hands for Geico a little bit more. But what I wanted to ask you about Danny is I saw this week it was hashtag National Video Game Day. And I'm sure you're I'm sure you're into this. What do you know about this Danny National Video Game Day? I do not know exactly.

So yesterday, you know how like on Twitter there's always like a hashtag national whatever day it was National Video Game Day. Can I tell you how these these national days happened? You know? We can actually we could actually get a national Fantasy Freestyle. Really, how do we do that? How do I apply just pay for it? And then it becomes a national day forget that. I think we should do it. I think we should get the cipher everybody get chip in. We do we could, we could,

but we do it. That money goes elsewhere. Pop, you know what I'm saying. That money goes elsewhere. That's all I'm saying. All right. So but my ask, my question is I wanted to give you my top five video games of all time. And we were talking about this before because we were talking about how, um, you know regular Nintendo Super Ani asked, whatever it is, I gotta tell you, um, one of my favorite video games of all time I could describe as up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right,

b A BI select start. You know what I'm talking about, Danny? Do you know what you're talking about? What am I talking about? Well, you're talking about a code, but I don't know what's exactly video games. Oh it's see. Here's the problem with Conjure Contra is a little bit before me. Okay, all my games can be a little before you, like I told like we were talking about Downstairs. Yeah. I did grow up with the original Nintendo, but only because it was my dad's fair enough, all right, So I

love me some contra. I love me some Mike Tyson's punch out from back in the day O seven three seven three five nine six three may have been the code to get straight to Mike Tyson. If I'm actually correct, someone tell me about that on the Status over beach chat room. I think I just pulled that straight out of my hind parts that I still remember the code to get straight to Mike Tyson. Let me know if I'm right, Jim Ross, let me know if I'm write

strong style. Um. Street Fighter two was my game though. I was like I played with a lot with Kennan Ryu Duke, and and then I used to play like in the in like the pizza shop after school, you know, and you used to always just stay on whoever had next would put the next quarter in. I used to play a little bit with Blanca as well, who would get like electrified. I thought he was cool, but then check this out. I liked racing games also, not like Super Mario Card or anything. But do you remember the

game f Zero Danny. It was for like Super Nintendo, and it was like these futuristic like space age hoverboards that were like flying, you know. It was the bomb. I'd have battles with my man Mike Stevens. Big shout out to the White captain, um, and that one. We would have battles left and right in that game. And then I'm gonna give a a little bit of love to hockey. Alright, you're like, hey, the Puerto Ricans talking about hockey. Um, I used to love Blades of Steel.

But the original ice hockey game was also the best. You could be like a skinny eye, a medium guy, or a big fat guy and that that was your options. And the skinny guy would be like fast, but he would get checked into the boards. The fat guy would move mad slow right, but he could just like go through everybody. And then there was like a medium guy, which I thought it was really fun. So I just wanted to say that as we honored National Video Game Day.

You know what I'm saying, Dan, big things. So here's what I want to do now, Okay, because we didn't get a chance to do it on Tuesday. If you part of the stats overbeat Cipher, you know that we did this last year, which we did some remixes young cause and the effect. Well listen, they do a great job turning stuff around from the football action that happened on Sunday and literally making a rap remix with the same cadence and the same beats as a song that's

out there right now. They did it again this week. I think their topic this week, Danny, was a little bit of fits magic in the air down there in New Orleans. So I want to play them. I want to play it today, little Young cause in the effect. What we're gonna do after that? After we play that, I want to get your reaction, Danny. Then I'm gonna answer some more of the questions that we have in the stats over beat Cipher in the chat room, and then we're gonna outline this contest that we're gonna be

doing all season long on the Fantasy Freestyles. Now and good, Danny sounds all right, young causing the effects. Bless him right now. A little fits magic action, Alvin Kamorrow. I think he has a very good game. Give me breeze. Yeah, I know people like the Saints defense, but no, no, no, yeah, I know people like the Saints defense, but no, no, no magic, fancy magic Tampa me going off from Titan see popping up points because nobody playing the popping up

points for the Shawn of my key. They needed me. Now we're talking to you with the breeze, they need a d both teams, handy knees, give up the pace, slagendary ndity when some games as the new identity. But now were your god, Now what you're Titan Tennessee telling the seats. Now were you're type industries, Fitzy Pe going off against the breeze, eat it up, while receivers going

Mikey T Tedgin, Mikey T, Mikey E god Win, Mikey E Sean Jacks watched the better ram received watching open D making mins, broken knees popping, Saint Sty no faith, no belief dropping Saint Sty, can't keeping did the stream dropping, Fitzy Pe Magic, Fitzy Pe Magic, Tampa be going off on paint and Steve talk to my points because nobody play indeed talking to points for the Shawn and Mikey the need of the now we're talking shoot the breeze,

shoot the need to be both team tendities popping, keep it to pace, legendary entity, legend winning some games, that's the new identity. Hey, let's fad that out a little bit. Danny you know. First of all, big shout out to the status overoul beat safe and we got Jorge h saying in Fuego Lands, David saying fire strong Style saying, young CODs got a little bit better. Luis Carlos, he has blessed him. A chainga. Everybody's bouncing I today, Danny, what do you think a little bit better? Yeah? I

really like that. I like that. Right, here's the thing. They fit it into a real song and they give the real like takeaways from week one, big shout out as always young Cause and the effect the trap game, my stros. You need to check them out, all right. For sure. We're gonna try and do it every week though. All right, um, they hit me up. I love that they use my voice here from the Fantasy Freestyle as part of you know, their remixes. All right, so we

gotta show them love for sure. Hoop Kid three two. It's called Dilly Dilly alright, brother man, um, that's what it is. Um, so yeah, nicely done. All right, that's how it is. That's what we do. Let me answer some more of your questions and then we're gonna close out the show by outlining our contest here for fantasy freestyle, and I got a nice special announcement at the very end because I got prizes for you guys. All right, Um Daniels is asking me Cooper or Watkins or Crowder.

This is the thing with a Mari Cooper, guys like, can you go too far on this? You know, Jamison Crowder. I like the matchup against the Colts. I like that a lot. I'm a little concerned about the weather potentially, right, So Crowder is there for me. Watkins is not an option for me, all right. Watkins is not an option for me. I need to see Sammy Watkins be a bigger piece of that Chief's offense before he's in the

conversation with these kind of guys. For me, Daniel, it comes down to a Mari Cooper or a shot of Jamo. And if it's a PPR format, I trust that Jamison Crowder might get more looks, more targets, more catches, so on PPR, I might lean towards Jamison Crowder. But if not, I gotta tell you, I go back to the MARII Cooper train. I think they're gonna try and purposely get a Mari Cooper going this week, So I kind of like a Maori Cooper. I know he defecated the mattress

week one, but it's not about the recency bias. Alright, Trey s out there, Watson, Eiffort or Ebron and tighten and full ppr um. I think I had this question. I answered this question. Watson is the safe floor to me. Ebron I don't like because he splits with Doyle, and Eiffort is the one for me Um because he's healthy and full point PPR. I think that could be interesting today. A little Andy Dalton, Tyler Eiffort for a touchdown in

the red zone. I like Eifford, trays. Dan Siegel is asking me half point PPR flex start two of these guys. Marky's Goodwin if he's healthy. If he's not, you could take that out right now. Chris Godwin, Mike Williams and Geronimo Allison. There's a lot of factors here, Okay. I like Godwin. I'll say that. I like Godwin. Geronimo Allison is tied to Aaron Rodgers. Man. If Aaron Rodgers isn't playing, then you gotta downgrade Geronimo Allison. Mike Williams. I'm not

on Michael. I was on Mike Williams in the preseason because I thought he would soak up that Hunter Henry thing, but then they signed Antonio Gates. I also think that the Charges aren't gonna do exactly what everybody thinks this this week. I think the Charges will win the game, but it will be a lot more competitive than people think.

So it's a tough one for me. Dan Um. Out of two of those, the way I see it right now, right now, the way I see it, I go Godwin, and because I think Goodwin is going to be banged up, and because I think Aaron Rodgers will be playing, it's Geronimo Allison. But Mark, he's Goodwin if he's healthy, goes right back in there over Geronimo Allison. I hope that helps you out. J Hugh. Should I drop Clay for Westbrook in PPR? Listen? I mean maybe, but hopefully you're

not starting either one of these guys. Jay, I gotta tell you on this truth. I hope your Clay is not your starting tight end. I hope you have better options. You should have went out and got George Kittle instead. And Westbrook. I'm not on d D. Westbrook. I'm not on the Jags passing game, and if it's the passing game not, you know, Westbrook is like the third option there, behind Cole, behind Moncrief, maybe even behind the Rosstafar, I, Austin Safari and Jenkins. So no, I wouldn't do that,

and I hope you can find better options there. Random asation five fifty three asked Wilson or Tyrod, you gotta go Danger rus there? Okay, I I like Chicago to win that game on Monday Night. I think you gotta go Russe Wilson there. And a lot of people are asking about Brandon Marshall. I'm i'm I'm I like Brandon Marshall. I spent money in my waivers on Brandon Marshall. A Jim Ross, Um, I think a team my team in Greenwite Street. I think I spent uh the spitting statisticians.

I think got Brandon Marshall about of my fat budget. Jim Ross, I spent on him because I had Baldwin, you know, so I got Brandon Marshall there, and um, Marshall also has a revenge game against the Chicago Bears. Some people believe in that narrative, some don't. What I will say is this Brandon Marshall will be the number one target and the red zone target. So I do like Brandon Marshall enough to spend fat budget on him. Jim Ross can validate that one for me, but I'll

take Russell Wilson over Tyrod Taylor. Last question for now, uh, Jared Savino's asking eifort or R s J. That's interesting. I do like effort tonight, but I also like R s J. Here's why someone said it in the stats overbeat Cipher the chat room before listen, Um young cas lightest Bliff, says Lance Davis. I like that, Um. Part of the reason that Jared Cook went off last week against the Rams is because Keep to Leave and Marcus

Peters are locking down those wide receivers. So teams that face the Rams, I'm gonna like their tight end more than most this year because the receivers are gonna get locked down by good corners. They're gonna be getting pressure in their face from Sue and Donald. So where do you look the tight end? Right? Because I think the Rams uh linebacker level is kind of the weakest level of their team, and so I do like R. S J there, So I'm okay. Going either way on that.

Flip a coin. Honestly, Jared, what the static ride with the stats overbeat cipher? I really think you can flip a coin on that one. Um, give me R s J. I think you can flip a coin. Give me R s J. Because I think the only way to beat the Rams is gonna be via the tight end. You saw that happen already this week as the Raiders Pepper Jared Cook. Okay, so that's my answer on that. Let's bring in my man Danny Otto. Hey, Danny, check this out. Here's what we're gonna do, and I need you to

be a judge for me. Okay, sounds good. So here's what we're gonna do. I knew you would. So here's we're gonna do. Last year, you guys know, we did hashtag Game of Inches. Right. If you had a bad beat, all right, I want you to tell me about it, hit me up on Twitter at spitting Speeds, hit me up on Patreon if you did. I already give a shout out to all my patrons. Okay, big shout out, you know, Jose Lopez and new patron. Big shout out,

especially to Kenneth Spencer out there. Christian Lasso de la Vega to you know, obviously out there to uh hitch him, who's hitting me up all the time. UM, big shout out always of course to Ryan Mallison, who's hitting me up. I love you guys. Keep it coming, Okay, all right, But Danny, the game of inches is gonna be this. I want people to send me screenshots representing their worst beat.

A fan to see football every week, they gotta send me screenshots, and I want to see like horrible losses, like you lose by a tenth of a point, or you lost because you know the last field goal that happened with less than two minutes to go on Monday Night football, you know, Or you last because an instant replay turned over a call like you know Austin Sinfari and Jenkins last year where the touchdown became a fumble.

That sort of stuff. If you think you have the worst possible beat and you lost in a really close matchup in a game of inches, hit me up, send me the screen shot, and I'll talk about them every week. And Danny, I'm gonna want you though. You're gonna tell me what you think is the best or the worst beat. Every week. I'll keep track of them. For example, Tyrone this week at Profit three three he hit me up. He lost by less than a point, Danny, he lost by nine tenths of a point. His opponent had the

RAMS defense. The RAMS defense after the two minute warning on Monday night football gotta pick six that they didn't need. They were already up by seventeen. They gotta pick six after the two a minute warning. That was the difference in the matchup. That's why Tyrone lost. That's a tough loss, right, Danny, That's pretty tough. Right. So here's the thing. We're gonna be doing this every week. Send me screenshots. It's not official unless I see the screen shot at Spitting Speeds

or on my Patreon. Okay, and then we'll discuss them, and Danny, you can be the judge. Okay, how do you feel about that? I feel great about all right. And here's what I'm gonna say. The worst beat of the entire season. You know how we do with road Aware, big shout out to my man Kenneth Cashman. I hollered at my man Kenneth Cashman and Rodowear. They told me Yo speeds for you, and the stats over beat Cipher. I got you. So what we're gonna do is the worst beat of the year, as as judged by Danny

Otto down there in the fantasy pit of misery. We're gonna give you some fantasy. We're gonna give you some road aware codes and cash to go on and get some free gear from road aware dot com, road a Ware, the illis fantasy shirts in the industry. Shout out to Kenneth Cashman. So that's what we're gonna do, road Aware of credits and and free shirts from rot Aware that you'll be able to pick if you get the worst beat of the season. What do you think, Danny, I

like it. I think it's great. Yeah, right, so the stats over beat Cipher keep hitting me up for sure at spitting speeds on the Patreon as well. Listen, when I'm going uptown right now home to settle in for Thursday night football, I'm gonna answer my patron messages. First, I'm gonna try and get you guys. I'm gonna try and get you set to win your leagues and win that cash. Last check here the poll, thirties seven percent of you think that the Chiefs and the Steelers are

going to be the game. Yeah, you got Patty Mahomes and that new offense there with Big Ben at home against that Kansas City defense. Stack it up on DFS. All right. I'll give my a T S picks this more tomorrow morning on Roto Experts in the morning. But if you're on Patreon, I've already released them for you. There's another episode of the Books in the Books for the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back next week. I hope

you guys won your matchups. I'll be here to break it all down, and Jim Ross, I'll see you in a couple of weeks. Brother, Then and we out m
