He's on the ones and twos keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. And now with week one in the books, we did all our overreactions yesterday,

we start to look ahead to week two. You gotta need to make some claims on the wave of wire. I've got you. I am holding you down hollow at your boy at eight four four eight four, three six, eight seven nine. You can also catch me on Twitter at spitting Speeds. Give me a follow, ask me questions. A man lantern has been asking me questions all day long. Hope I'll help you out talking about Cooper Cup and

talking about Jimmy Graham out there. But if you have questions, hollower at me this hour before your waiver wire runs tomorrow morning. We got you. I also got a pull question up right now as we start to look ahead to Week two in the NFL, which matchup are you most excited about? I think there's some with some real fantasy football potential year. How about Eagles Chiefs, Eagle Chiefs? Everybody thinks you know, Oh, Kareem Hunt, Oh Carson Wentz

looked good. Let's see if that continues. Is the Patriots and Saints down in the Dome. The over under for that game, the total right now is stands at fifty five. Do you think Tom Brady bounces back? Do you think Drew Brees puts up his normal three hundred plus in the Dome? We will chop it up about that. Also, the Vikings and the Steelers. Is that Vikings defense for real?

They shut down Drew Brees. Can they do the same to Big Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers at Hinz Field in their home opener and the last option On Sunday Night Football this week, Week two, we have a replay of the NFC title game and it is the Falcons and the Packers. As the Falcons open their News Stadium, that over under is up at about fifty four. A lot of goodness in that matchup. Listen, We're gonna get you Wetty for your wave a whire. I'm gonna tell

you who you need to fade. A lot of people are going out there running right now because of the news that David Johnson is gonna miss two to three months. Are you going out and getting Kerwin Williams? Are you getting Chris Johnson? Or are you spending your fat budget somewhere else on guys like Tyreek Cohen, who we've been talking about on the Chicago Bears. Is it guys like Buck Allen on the Baltimore Ravens now that Danny Woodhead

goes down. Are you taking a chance on some of those Jacksonville wide receivers now that a R fifteen is down? Is it a guy like Lee? Is it a guy like Hearns, or do you just let it settle and not get a little too crazy and let everybody else hop you in priority. This way you have the number one waiver wire claim. A little bit later on in the season, we're gonna be talking about all that, that

and more when we come backdropping stats over beat. It's the Fantasy Freestyle, and the phone lines are open at eight four or four eight four three six eight seven nine. Holler at your boys speeds has fitting statistician. I'll give you the injuries, the breakdowns, and we start to look at games from week two when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

We did all the overreactions yesterday, So now it is time to, you know, start to figure out who's ready, who's not ready, who's hurt, and who you know, who we need in week two. So we're gonna start looking ahead. And I want to give you

some news and notes. The Indianapolis Colts have already ruled Andrew Luck out four weeks two, and they did this early on in the week. To be quite honest, I think this ultimately means that he's not gonna be ready for a few more weeks. They know it right now, they just don't want to say it. But it looks like the Colts may in fact start Jacobe Brissette in

their home opener this week against the Cardinals. Hey, it can't get any worse than we score with Scott Tolzine in week one, but temper your expectations because Brissette maybe marginally better then uh tol Zine. So if you're gonn gonna hop on like the Cardinals past defense or the Cardinals defense as a DFS play. Watch out and see what Brissette does in practice this week, Also, d David Johnson d J two K was going to opt for rich surgery. He's gonna be out two to three months.

It looks like the Cardinals are intending to sign Chris Johnson, their former running back, also a guy who got two thousand yards back in his past, but it could also be a guy like Kerwin Williams or Andre Ellington, and keep an eye out on that situation. This Cardinals Colts game is not going to have the stud firepower and stars that you may have thought a few weeks ago. Also news, Ron Rivera, the head coach of the Panthers, said that they may limit Christian McCaffrey snaps this week.

He likened him to a new toy you get it during the holidays that you love and want to play with, but don't want to wear the batteries out. It looks like they're gonna try to ride Christian McCaffrey all season long, so they're gonna have to pace him a little bit. Maybe this week when they open at home their home opener against the Buffalo Bills, maybe they can get by without using their shiny new toy the Ravens running back Danny Woodhead. He is going to miss around six weeks.

They say I R is a possibility for him. That is why one of the big time names we hear on the waive a wire is Buck Allen. You may know him in your league as Javarious Allen, but it is Buck Allen to you and me, and also said noe. The Texans have placed their tight end c J. Fedora Witz on i R. He had concussions back to back

in quick succession. He's going to be out for a while. Also, the Texans are saying that who's going to start at quarterback for them in a near forty nine hours on Thursday Night football, It may be a game time decision. Looking at the health of Deshaun Watson. Remember they liked some of what he did in the second half, but he came away with that with an ankle injury. Was limited in practice yesterday. If he can get out there and run, it looks like the Texans are going to

the young rookie DeShawn Watson. I want to we got some calls lined up. We're gonna take him in a second. But first I do want to tell you my quick takeaways from Monday Night football. We had two games. The first one the Vikings looked really good beating the Saints for New Orleans. Remember I talked about offensive line play in the state of offensive line play in the NFL, you may have to add New Orleans to that mix. This could be another bad offensive line. Drew Brees did

not look like himself. Granted there were some different options out there. You know, Brent Coleman, he hasn't had a lot of time in regular season action with Ted ginn Jr. Is new for him. Alvin Kamara is new from him. Adrian Peterson was new for him, but he didn't look exactly himself. I'm wondering if this um offensive line in New Orleans, and there's also a pro problem. But they're gonna be back in the Dome week two against the Patriots, where the pass rush is not a calling card of

the defending champ. So I want to see if Drew Brees can get back on the saddle. I will say this, Alvin Kamara, remember the name if he is available. If you're in a dynasty league, Alvin Kamara is going to be the guy in New Orleans. When all is said and done. Adrian Peterson, I do not believe is going to be part of this offense. I told you about this going into the season, that Adrian Peterson was just blocking the route for Alvin Kamara, and it looks like

Kamara is gonna be the man. I think his role grows throughout this season, and I think Adrian Peterson is relegated to the sidelines. You never thought you would say that about a guy like Adrian Peterson, but this Kamara kid has some bursts, and I think he could basically replicate what they had in Darren Sprawls, what they had with a guy like Reggie Bush. You know that Drew Brees likes that, and I think Camara is that guy on the Minnesota side of things. Wow, Dalvin Cook, huh.

We've been talking about it on this network. And if you've listened to the Fantasy Freestyle, I told you how much I love Dalvin Cook. If you listen to the show right before the season kickoff last week, I told you that Dalvin Cook was my pick at four to one to win NFL Rookie of the Year, So I was on them. What I did not know is that the Minnesota offensive line is much improved. They were one of these piss poor, blunt guts trash offensive lines last year,

but they protected Sam Bradford. They blocked for Dalvin Cook. And I think this Minnesota team, if they keep that offensive line and you know, stable and healthy, when you got Digs and theeling on the outside, Rudolph and Cook, you know, kind of in the intermediary game. And Sam Bradford with his accurate self, remember he just set the NFL record. I think, um watch out for Minnesota in

that division. In the nightcap, the Broncos beat the Chargers, the Los Angeles Chargers, not the San Diego Chargers, but the Broncos. Still gotta wine. I was I because I had the Chargers plus three and the hook, and I knew about that divisional game how they play him close, So I gotta win there. When both games last night, I gave them to you. Hopefully you hit that parlay as well. Went on over to my bookie dot A g and hit that two team parlay like I did.

I gotta tell you something on the Chargers, I think this defense is gonna be able to get pressure Melvin Ingram on the outside, Joey Boz on the edge. I think they're gonna get pressure the return of Jason Varette. You've got Casey Hayward, who was in All Pro last year. I liked this Chargers defense. I think they just had

a couple of plays get away from them. But I think the Chargers defense are a great DFS play in Week two when they have Miami opening up the season with a long road trip going from Miami to Los Angeles, and with Jay Cutler he's not really that mobile, I think they're gonna get after the Dolphins and j Cutler. I also liked what I saw. I liked what I saw out of Keenan Allen staying healthy, catching five of ten targets, getting in the end zone, and I like

that they're gonna ride Melvin Gordon. Remember Anthony Lynn is used to be a running backs coach and offensive coordinator in Buffalo and with the Jets before that. And one stat that went up it was interesting because Rex Ryan was doing the color commentary on this game and he said that Anthony Lynn teams lead the NFL in rushing. I think that is a big boost for a guy like Melvin Gordon. He didn't look incredibly impressive. Eighteen carries

for fifty four yards, but that's the key. Eight teen carries another five catches for twenty five yards and a touchdown. I believe Melvin Gordon continues to be a rock solid mid tier running back one and with the different game follow Anthony Lynn is gonna run the ball ah lot. All right, um, Chris, we got time for some calls.

I want to take some calls right now to finish out this segment before I start to get into my week two preview of all the games going in week two, it does look like we've got callers and christ The purpose one is Mike in Pittsburgh. He's got a question it looks like about wide receivers for this week, so uh let's put him on the fantasy freestyle. Mike and Pittsburgh. You're dropping stats over beats with speeds of spitting. Statistician, what's up? Oh? I mean not too good? I lost

by one last week because got dot block. Oh man, I was up one, I was I was out Yeah, I was up one on how you're thinking out one? Then they blot he got two points as good. That's a tough way to lose. That's a bad beat man. I'm sorry if you're ever in New York. I'm going buy Studio thirty four and spitting speeds will buy you a drink here at Rock and Riley. That's a bad beat. I'm sorry, man, what's your question? Um? So, yeah, I'm looking at he just start ups. I started cloud in

a last week and he was a disappointed. So yeah, I have even Keenan, Keenan, Allen, DT or Baldwin. And this is that a flex spot. I like these guys. Um So, I like a lot of these guys, and you have other wide receivers that are better than this to start at wide receiver, this is just a flex spot. Yeah, like Thomas? Oh nice? All right then, man, I like I like your wide receiver. Coo. I'm gonna tell you the truth. To be honest, I would first of all,

a little bit later on in the season. This is a position of strength if you also have you know, Keenan, Allen Jameson crowded to Marius Thomas, Doug Baldwin. I would look later on in the season and maybe package some of these guys and go up and get another true stud maybe at running back. But of these three guys, I, um, it's tough to say, man, I like, listen, I think all of these guys are gonna be in good shape.

But here's the thing I like. I think the Chargers win big on Sunday, and I think the Seahawks win big on Sunday, So that means that they're gonna be running the ball in the second half of the games. I love Doug Baldwin, right, but I think they're gonna be running the ball trying to run out the clock in the second half. And listen when it comes to Keenan Allen. They I think are also gonna be up

big on the Miami Dolphins. And like I just told you, nuke head coach Anthony Lynn is going to run the ball a lot, so I think it's gonna be a lot of Melvin Gordon. So I think the Broncos are gonna be in the kind of closest game with the Cowboys, and that Cowboys past secondary is real trash. So I like to Marrius Thomas. But you can't go wrong with Doug Baldwin either. That is what we call a good problem to have, my friend, all right, when thanks for

the call, though, Mike and Pittsburgh. When we come back, I see the phone lines are lighting up. Okay, so when we come back, we're gonna take you calls. That's Brandon and Callie, Trey and South Carolina, Chris and Dade County. We are going to get to you when we come back, dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Listen, I'm gonna tell a lot of people, don't overreact a week one, don't go easy, let your studs play. You gotta let it

settle like a fine wine. My homegiring Maria Marino, who I'm with on Sunday, says, you gotta let it settle, don't go crazy, but I will take your questions when we get back. Dropping stats over beats. What's the fantasy freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Callers coming up next, Let's go 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 tell the app M and TS fire Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven. The best Fantasy sports on ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we're dropping stats

over beats with your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. Like I said coming out of the break, I said, we're gonna take some callers because we got them lined up. And I know a lot of people are thinking right now, maybe they're owing one in their league, and they're like, oh snap, what are I gonna do. I hear about my man Tyreek Cohen? Should I pick him up? I hear about Buck Allen? Should I pick him up? I'm hearing about these Jaguars wide receivers should I pick them up?

Who is Cooper Cup? These sorts of things. We're gonna get into it right now. We got some callers lined up, and if you want to holler at me this hour, you can at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We'll be holding you down. We'll also take your questions on the live YouTube stream. I remember you could always get at me on Twitter at Sipping Speeds with your questions. I tried in hollow back as

soon as I possibly can. Let's go out to uh Brandon and CALLI Brandon and Calli, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. Sounds like you want to talk about flipping Kareem Hunt. Possibly. Yeah, man, I got an offer today from someone. Um, I'm in a dynasty league and I was able to get Kareem Hunt and Dalvin Cook, um, and those first few picks, and uh, somebody offered me with Sean McCoy straight up for Kareem Hunt. But my only thing is that it's

the dynasty and I worry about with Sean McCoy getting injured. Yeah, So I mean I think, listen, thanks for the call, Brandon, and I appreciate that. I think the key words you say is the Dynasty League, right, and so if you are in this for the long haul, then you have Kareem Hunt and Dalvin Cook and you're set to go for years. Right If however, if you ask me the same question in a redraft league in a year year just now, I would say, absolutely flip Kareem Hunt and

take Shady McCoy. I've been telling a lot of people, Listen, this is kind of like the stock market. You're trying to buy low and you're trying to sell high. The stock will never be higher on Kareem Hunt. We had the buzz than the injury to Spenser wear fell right in his lap, and then he went out and performed with over two hundred forty some odd yards in Week one.

The stock will never be higher on Kareem Hunt. If you can get a true like stud top five, top seven RB in a redraft league and Shady McCoy qualifies, I say go right ahead and flip him. However, Brandon, you are talking about a dynasty league. And if you believe that you're gonna be in this dynasty league for years and you're playing the long game, then with Kareem Hunt and Dalvin Cook you are set to go. So if you're looking for the future, here's the thing, brand

I'm gonna tell you right now. If you think your team can win this year, maybe you make that trade. If you're a team who's not contending right now, if you're a team who's looking for the future, no, keep Kareem Hunt, keep Dalvin Cook. You'll be set up moving forward. Thanks for the call. Though, we got Trey in South Carolina as well. He's got a wide receiver question featuring one of these famous guys that we're gonna be talking

about all week and all season long. I think Cooper Cup out in Los Angeles, Trey, you're dropping statue over beats with the fantasy freestyle. What's your question? Man? What's going on? Then? How are you doing doing? All? Right? Oh? Yeah, now I have a waiver I have a waiver wire question. Now, could you kind of kind of rank the best to the worst as far as you know, who should I

pick up and who should I stay away from? Um, I'm trying to decide between Cooper Cup, Kenny Golladay, Richard Matthews, and UM. Alright, Cup, Galla A, Richard Matthews and A was the fourth. Alright, no problem, and thanks for the call. Man. We're gonna rank these guys for you right now. Okay. First of all, I'm gonna tell you right now, Nelson Aglor is the bottom of that list. I don't care he caught, you know, like a fifty six yard touch down in week one. Let someone else go after Nelson Agholor.

Nelson Agilor is not gonna be on any of my teams. Okay, So that's the easy one right off the bat. Nelson Aghilor is in the fourth spot there in the three spot for me in this ranking. I'm gonna say, Kenny Golladay. Okay, I know, I know you love Kenny Golladay. You love his two touchdowns, you love that he was a darling in the preseason. But listen, let's pump the brakes a little bit. Okay. That Detroit offense, they spread the ball around a ton, whether it's Golden Tate or Marvin Jones

or even Eric Ebron. You talk about theo Ritic and Abdulla out of the backfield. I think there's just too many mouths to feed in Detroit for Golladay to be a weekend week out. I know he's fancy now, I know he popped off on Week one, but Golladay would be third in that ranking for me. And then you're left with Richard Matthews and Cooper Cup. And I think both of these guys are viable. Okay. I I'm gonna tell you though. I like Cooper Cup. I like Cooper Cup.

I think this kid is in ascending talent. I think this guy, especially in a PPR kind of league, I think Cooper Cup is going to be second on this team the Rams in past catches in targets behind only Sammy Watkins. And remember McVeigh was the coordinator over there in Washington. Right now he's moving over to l A. That's the kind of offense you're gonna look at. They are going to throw the ball a lot. You saw them even throw the ball to Todd Gurley a bunch

of times. I like Cup. I think Rachard Matthews is kind of like your not nondescript, but he's not really sexy at all. Right, if you just need a safe guy Richard Matthews weekend when and week out will be okay. But I like if you're trying to get a guy that you think could really pop for your team, I like Cooper Cup. So I'm going Trey and thanks for the call. I'm going Cooper Cup, Richard Matthews, Kenny Golladay, and then Nelson aghal Or let me know how it

turned out. You're always welcome here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got another call. It is Chris in Dade County in Florida. He also has a question I think about the same man, Mr Cooper Cup in Dade County, How you doing? First of all, how are you guys handling the storm down there? Is everybody safe. Is everybody okay? That's all right? A lot of fallen trees everywhere outage, So you just you know, you just gotta do great and keep moving forward. Well, our thoughts are with you.

I thought to absolutely wish you down there in Florida. We're up here and up north in New York. We're thinking of your Chris. So let me try and help you out when you have power, when you still do what's your question, man? I got two part questions. First question on the waivers, so I always say everyone that's like going crazy on waivers. I gotta kind of a good sub team. So would you say the Raven when I got a ninth waiver wire pick as a priority

or when I have the Steelers of my defense right now? Always? Should I just leave it beat and then gave my waiver priority as the higher pick for later on? And then second question, would you start to a day Parker boy over Dad Grant against the damn uh Bronxis all right? Well, thanks for the call, Chris, and once again, be safe down there in Florida. We're definitely thinking of you. I'm gonna try and address these questions one at a time.

Your first question was about defenses. It sounds like you have the Ravens and you're wondering, Oh, no, the Ravens were available, and you have the Steelers. Let's say, but you have the ninth waiver priority. I am not using my waiver priority this early in the season on a defense, all right, Chris, So to answer your question, I'm not making that move at least not for waiver wire and

using up my priority. If you like that defense and the Pittsburgh Steelers going up against Minnesota this week and they're the best defense out there, I think you could do that when they're free agents later on in the week. I would not use my priority. I'd like to inch up because you also said, man that your team is

pretty set, that you like your team. So if that's the case, I'm trying to inch up in waiver priority and then you know, get all the way to the top so that if one of my studs go down later in the season, I have the waiver priority to address it. This is kind of like nice to have in my opinion, And I really don't think that the Steelers. Who is that defense you're looking at? If someone else is going to spend the waiver wire claim on them, So I say absolutely not. I would let it rock

the way it is. And if you want to make that change after waivers run a little bit later on tomorrow, go right ahead, but don't spend the waiver priority on it. Onto your second question. You were talking about DeVante Parker and you had him up against Dez Bryant. I believe

right now you can, first of all, look at our ranks. Okay, I'm Fantasy pros where we take a conglomerate of a lot of rankings, including our guy, y'all in kid Jake Seely, and for this week, I understand that they're going up against that defense, the Denver Broncos defense with you know, Chris Harris and keep to Lee. But we've got des Bryant ranked the number twenty two and we have DeVante Parker ranked as number thirty two. Here's what I'm gonna say.

I'm going Dez Bryant ultimately to answer your question, but the reason may surprise you. I talked about did it at the top of the show. The Charger secondary is also pretty good. You got Casey Hayward on one side, he was a pro bowler last year, and you got Jason Varette on the other side, he was also a pro bowler. So this Los Angeles charges Um cornerback situation is also a matchup you should fade. Okay, So because

of that, because they're both strong. Uh. Secondaries, I go back to the skill and I'm going with Dez Bryant. But thanks for the call, Chris. We got time for one or two more. The next question comes from Jacob in Michigan. Jacob in Michigan, Jacob dropped and sorry, I'm sorry. Okay, we got time for one more. Let's instead go to Steve in Massachusetts. Steve in Massachusetts is there? It sounds like he has a question about tiny Darren Sprowls on

his way for wire. Steve, you're dropping stats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on man? With your question? Hey? What's going on? Man? How you doing? I wanted to for the advice, uh yesterday when I called you up, it kind of helped me out a little bit too. Uh. My question is about Darren Sproles because I put in a waiver claim already for a Cooper Cup to try to get him. Uh at Kevin White, I know I'm gonna being in the waiver priority because I won this week.

But I'm hoping that maybe you can fall to me. But I looked at, uh looked at this morning and I saw that somebody dropped Darren's rolls. Is that a guy that I should maybe trying to add for him? I could, uh just tell you, like a couple of guys I could I could probably have to drop all right, just when when you're looking at that, I'm gonna tell you,

generally speaking, I like Darren Sprowls. I don't love Darren Spoils, Okay, I think that Philadelphia backfield is gonna get a little bit crowded, you know, Lea Garrett Blonde, Darren Sproles, they like small wood. They got pump free there as well. So I don't know if Sprowls is someone that I would risk my waiver wire on. I think there's a lot of PPR kind of backs that are out there that may not even get picked up on the waiver this week. So if you're looking for that kind of

PPR back, I would wait. I would not spend my waiver priority because there's gonna be other guys out there, Chris Thompson, Shane Vereen as well, you know, so I would not necessarily spend my waiver wire on a guy like Darren Sprowls. But thanks for the call, Steve. I'm up against the break, so I gotta cut you off there. But when we come back, we got a couple of other calls, including my Man Taco and Obama is gonna get back on dropping stats over beats with the Fantasy Freestyle. Hey, Steve,

I'm glad I could help you out yesterday. Call me back if you want later in the week, but I wouldn't use my waiver wire on a guy like Darren Sprowls. More calls, and we start my Week two preview when we come back dropping stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

On your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds and spitting statistician holding you down here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network on a Tuesday, as people get ready to figure out who they need to put their waiver claims on fab budget? Do I believe in Cooper Cup? Should I ride with Tyreek Cohen? That sort of thing? Our first caller now is my

minute Taco in Alabama. Taco is back. Um, Taco, it seems like you are in the storm's path, but you are okay, right, So first I want to say I'm glad that everybody down there is okay, and then Taco, of course, You're always welcome on the Fantasy Freestyle. You are dropping stats over beats with your boys. Speeds, that spitting statistician. How can I help you out today? Hey man, got a couple of questions for you. One, I'm I'm I'm waiver number seven, so I'm not gonna get Triko

and or Cooper Cup. I have waivers in for them, but not gonna happen. Um, I have to drop Johnson or I don't know if I should drop Johnson or stashing? Do you have it? Is there an I R spot no no hour. Also, UM, do you think it's worth taking a shot at Chris Johnson just to see if he even gets any playtime with David Johnson out? Um, so thanks for the call, Taco No No is the quick and short answer to your question. I do not

believe in Chris Johnson. If you listen to me. Before the season started, I was down on this Arizona Cardinals team. I thought David Johnson was really all they had. I thought Carson Palmer at the right bold age, you know, in his mid to late thirties, he was about to fall off a cliff. I thought David Johnson was the

only saving for that team. I understand that this week they're playing the Indianapolis Colts and that bad defense, and they could maybe bounce back, but long term, and you're talking about a season long league here, Taco No, I do not believe Chris Johnson is worth your wavewire right now. Let all these other people grab Cooper Cup, grab Treiko and grab Buck Allen and people like that, so you can move on up and then you can grab someone a little bit later. I don't think there's any Arizona

Cardinals running back that you want to earn. I think it's gonna be a committee with Kerwin Williams, the recently signed Chris Johnson, as you mentioned, and don't forget about Andre Ellington there as well. I think it's a little too crowded, and I think that the entire Arizona offense is about to go into the toilet. I say you fade all the production in in Arizona. Thank you Taco for the call. Save your waiver priority, inch on up, don't overreact, let it settle. You'll be jes fine. I

am sorry though that you lost David Johnson. I would if you can't get Tyree Cohen, think about a guy like Buck Allen potentially on the waiver wire, and also talk if you tell me like a couple of guys on Twitter holloway, I mean at spitting speeds, give me a couple of names that are available on your wire. And I'll be sure to help you out your next our next question here on the Fantasy Freestyle is Josh

in New Jersey. Josh and New Jersey. Everybody's talking about Tyreek Cohen Josh and New Jersey has the other part of what I believe is now a time share in committee. He's talking about Jordan Howard. Josh, you're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds. What's going on? Man? Okay, so I know that Jordan Howard is just I feel like Cohen's really gonna take um some carries from Jordan Howard. So I actually had a trade question because I got

a on an offer today. So like just so my receivers right now are Brandon, Marshall, Hill, and Crowder, and my running backs are Freeman and Howard, and then I have Guilty on my bench. So the offer was I would have to give away Howard and Um, Crowder and Marshall, and then in return I get prior fits prior Fitzgerald, Um Feeling and Blow Powell. So do you think that's good or anything? Yeah, I I gotta hear it again.

But my knee jerk reaction is I kind of do like that because you mentioned Adam Feeling as well, you mentioned Blaw Powell as well, right, And I was gonna tell you when you reeled off these wide receivers, I was gonna tell you that I think you're in a little bit of trouble at wide receiver going with Brandon Marshall, Crowder and Hill. I would imagine that that's Tyreek Hill

you're talking about. And because I think Uh Howard is a diminishing asset, and you can get back a wide receiver like Feeling and a guy like Bla Pale, especially if this is PPR, then yeah, I would very heavily consider that trade, my man. I think that that is a good idea, especially because I think Feeling is gonna wind up really helping your receiving corps. And I do think that Jordan Howard is a depreciating asset, So if

you're getting offers for him now, I would heavily consider that. Um, I didn't remember all the parts that I don't have your entire team, but I do think Howard is someone who you could flip at this point in time going down to Ballal Powell. Yeah that's a drop, but you're getting a guy like feeling at wide receiver to augment that wide receiver corps. I like that. Thanks for the call, Josh in New Jersey. Our next call here dropping the

stats over beats on the fantasy freestyle. It is Robert in Indiana, in Indianapolis or in Indiana, and he's got a question about another hot wide receiver that is not named Cooper Cup, another rookie. Robert, you're dropping stats over beats on the fantasy freestyle. What's up? Hey? I have league dropping a barrel or Corey Davis or do you think I should do that? And if um, sure, well

I need to know, my man. I need to know the rest of your running backs because I need to know how much you can handle the loss of Abdullah. So what running backs would you be going with if you do, in fact cast Abdullah best side, I got thousand cook and also okay, then yes, absolutely, Robert, Absolutely, I cast the side of mirror Abdullah. And then I go in and I put in a claim for both of those guys, whether it's Corey Davis or Corey Coleman. Right,

I would have the order. I would actually maybe you know, both of them, I would put the I would put the claim in for both of them. Okay, Um, I would go Corey Coleman slightly ahead of Corey Davis. Okay, but I think both of them are viable. Um, whichever one you winding up with, I would be happy. I would prioritize Corey Coleman over Corey Davids. But yes, I

would drop a mirror Abdullah. And I would first put in the waiver claim for Corey Coleman, and if you don't get Corey Coleman, then I would do it for Corey Davis. I do think Corey Coleman is gonna grow with Deshaun Kaiser across the year, and quite frankly, the other running backs you mentioned mean that you don't really have a need for a mirror Abdullah. So yes, I would do that. Robert, thanks for the call. Let me know how it turned out. You could thank me later.

All right. We got a couple more calls here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got Jesse and California. Jesse and California got bit hard by the injury bug. It looks like in week one he had a R fifteen and Kevin White. Both of them are down and we'll miss the entire season. Kevin White may come back, but it is going to be a long way and he is Mr Glass with that collar bone. Jesse, you are on the fantasy freestyle, Let me know what kind of options

you have on the wide receiver Waiver wire Man. Well, I'm I was looking at from the Eagles, Corey Davis and Kenny Golladay. I don't really know who to go for first. Sure I do got some depth at wide receiver too. I got a Mark Vis, Bryant, Des Bryant, Keenan Allen and Adam Feeling Chris Hogan. So I'm not like hurting too much. Who do fair enough? It says um am, I right that you said Cooper Cup, Kenny Golladay or Nelson Aglor. No, No, I gotta Nelson A,

Corey Davis and Kenny Golladay. Sorry got you? So, of those three, here's how I would rank them. Okay, I would go Corey Davis one, Kenny Golladay two, and Nelson Agal or three. I'm telling you. Nelson Aglor popped off with a fifty yard touchdown, but it was a broken play from Carson Wentz. I do not expect Nelson Agloor to weekend week out give you any kind of production.

Kenny Golladay is a little bit better. But remember in Detroit there are a lot of mouths to feed in that Jim Bob Cooder offense and Matthew Stafford is gonna go wherever the ball dictates. Yesterday or two days ago. That happened to be Kenny Golladate twice. I don't necessarily think that's gonna be the case. You got Golden Tate there, Marvin Jones there, Eric Ebron, their theoretic there as well. I think Corey Davis, of the three that you mentioned, I think Corey Davis is the way to go. But

like you said, you have some other depth. I love some of the other wide receivers you have, So if you want to make a play on these guys, I like Corey Davis given those options, but I think you're in decent shape if you want to know the truth. Jesse, and thank you for the call. I got time for one more call here, and we're gonna go to Randall in Chicago. Randall in Chicago, you are on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're talking defenses. It sounds like, so Randall, what's going on? Man?

You're on the fantasy freestyle. What's up? How you doing? How you doing with your question? Um? My question is if you should drop to Steelers defense for Jacksonville? Um? Sure, sure are I? I think these Jacksonville Jaguars showed up right in Week one against Houston. And here's the thing, a lot of that is sustainable. I've been talking about this Jacksonville defense for a while. Remember they signed Klais

Campbell in the off season up front. There they also signed A J. Bouyer in the back end as a cornerback to pair with Jalen Ramsey. Yes, I like Jacksonville season long because I thought they were going to be improving. Remember they also they want to run the ball. They want to run the ball and be a time of possession kind of team, unlike the Steelers, who are fine to get his shootouts with teams right, and they don't really run the clock out as much. So with a

team like Jacksonville. Yes, I think that they're time of possession way that they want to go about it running the ball with Leonard Fournette and the improvements they made in d on the defensive side of the ball are definitely, um, you know, working quite frankly. And here's the other thing that people don't necessarily look at. Look at the division that Jacksonville is in. They're gonna have to play the Indianapolis Colts, not once, but twice. Those are good matchups.

They're gonna get the Houston Texans again, that's a good matchup. I like the way their schedule sets up. So yes, I do, in fact think that I would go with the Jacksonville Jaguars over the Steelers because the Steelers get into some you know, if they get into some shootouts. So yeah, Randall, I would go ahead and pull the trigger on the Jacksonville Jaguars defense. Thank you to everybody for the calls in this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle.

We're gonna close up the phone lines for now and I'm gonna tie a nice neat little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. When we come back, we're gonna check in on our polls, and I'm gonna also tell you about a way that you can spend no money.

We check out onto these polls and uh, you know we tie a nice neat little bow. On this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle, it should boy. Jane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician dropping status over beats on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's the Fantasy Freestyle.

You heard. We're coming right back. Let's go. It's on a Tuesday, baby, Fantasy Freestyle. They're gonna ride Melvin Gordon. One stat that went off Anthony Lynn. Team's lead the NFL in rushing. I think that is a big boost for a guy like Melvin Gordon. He didn't look incredibly impressive. Eighteen carries for fifty four yards, but that's the key. Eighteen carries, another five catches for twenty five yards and

a touchdown. I believe Melvin Gordon continues to be a rock solid mid tier running back one week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Phoebus Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network drop in status over beats is your boy Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician helping you out today as you look to see who do we put that waiver claim in on? How much of this fat budget do we spend? Should I

But I got a great opportunity for you. Go to roto experts dot com or go to Daily Roto dot com slash d k m S and what they're doing.

Thanks to everybody calling in, and you could always holler at me on Twitter at spitting Speeds. We gotta poll question up. Which week to match up are you most looking forward to right now? You say that Sunday Night Football NFC Championship game rematch

of the Packers and the Falcons. Percent of you say Pats and Saints to see if these two teams can bounce back and score more are points when they get into the dome. Uh, seventeen percent of you say Vikings and Steelers. I think that's gonna be interesting. Can the Vikings defense do it again on the road against another elite offense? And what about the Eagles and the Chiefs, two teams that had big wins in Week one? Will they be able to keep it rolling? And what I'm

dubbing the Andy Reid Bowl? All right? Um, and we also we gotta response. I want to read out a response. Clayton Clayton Trey han Uh Clayton Moore's FFB on Twitter, always responding to the polls. We appreciate you out there, says it's interesting, wants to kind of like draw distinctions right. Says from an entertainment standpoint, Ksey Philly, I think that's gonna be a real good game as well. And I think whoever wins that game is really primed to make

a run this season. Um. For fantasy they say Green Bay Atlanta, But then personally, as a Pats fan, they are hoping that New England and New Orleans returns the result that they want down in the Dome. I personally think that the Patriots will not go oh in two. I think they will be able to put up at least thirty five points thirty four points against the New Orleans Saints. That defense is trash. You saw what's Sam Bradford was able to do against them with a mediocre

offensive line and some weapons. Tom Brady has just the same kind of weapons and will spread the ball around all right tomorrow, though, guys, Tomorrow, what's gonna happen? Right here on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping status over beats, I am going to get into my Week two previews. We're gonna go game by game. We're gonna kick it off with the Thursday night game that I think is blunt, guts trash. If you want to know the truth of Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans. Neither team look good.

Both teams they gave up a combined like fifteen sacks in Week one, So will there will be points sports scored? I don't know. The over under on that game is thirty eight and a half, so Vegas doesn't think. So I'll tell you what I think about that game. I'll tell you what I think about all the one o'clock games on Sunday as well. On tomorrow's show, I'm gonna preview them. Tell you who to fay aid, Who start what survivor picks are out there? Who to bet against

the spread? I got a lock under in one of those games as well, and we'll be taking your calls at eight four four, eight four, three six eight seven nine. That does it for me. Big shout out to the bounty Killer, Chris Bavona, my man Chris down there on the YouTube stream as well. We'll be back tomorrow, Dane Martinez dropping stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. See how tomorrow Come on back Pace
