try to get back at you. But we have a poll up tonight that I want to get your thoughts on. It's about Thursday night football. If you want to do a little parlay and you want to win a little bit of money, where do you think is the right place to go? The Rams are road favorites tonight in San Francisco against the forty Niners. They are giving three points. That means the Niners are catching three at home. The total is forty, which is pretty low if you want
to know the truth. But anything can happen on Thursday night. We saw a bad game in the first week of the season, but the season opener had some point score, so we will see. What do you think about that.
I'm giving you my injuries as always, and also I don't know if you guys know, but this Sunday is the first of a few London games or this week, So make sure you wake up bright and early, have your strawberries and cream top of the morning to you, because we're gonna have games going as soon as you wake up On Sunday morning, So we're gonna break that one down. I'm also excited because I am going to be joined. I'm gonna be joined a little bit later on by my man Nick Liveriani. He's from Pro Angle
Media out there in Los Angeles. He's gonna help me talk about the Rams, talk about Thursday night football. He's been my West Coast correspondent before, and we're gonna bring him back on. And of course I will be taking your calls at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We got room on the phone lines. We will get to you guys later in the show for sure. All right, So we're gonna go through the injuries. Remember I talked to you about how yesterday on Wednesday,
they're just managing reps. A lot of people that are listed as not practicing will in fact practice. So when we come back, I'm gonna let you know who did practice and who is trending towards playing in week three. There's also some guy who went in the reverse direction who did practice yesterday but did not practice today. I think that's someone you should be concerned about if you want to find out who keep it locked right here as we dropped Stats over Beats on the Fantasy Freestyle
on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're talking injuries for week three. We're talking who we like in that London game. We're talking Thursday Night football, and we're taking your calls at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine call him and now phone lines are open. I got room for you right now. I don't know if that's gonna be the case later on in the show,
So get at me right now. We are dropping stats over beats with your boy to spitting statistician right here on the Fantasy Freestyle off the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go, Oh he wanted to go to minutes out of never? How a reason to well? This year, that's where the Big Game is, and the Fantasy Sports

It's a Big Game trivia challenge sponsored by t k
M S only on Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It should Dane Martinez pes Ha spitting Status vision holding you down on a Thursday in about an hour. Week three kicks off of the NFL season with an NFC West matchup forty Niners and Rams from the Bay. A little bit later on, we're gonna have my boy, Nick Leveriani. He's gonna be on representing Pro Angle Media out there in Los Angeles. He's gonna be telling us
about the buzz out there with Rams. I'm excited for that. But first I gotta give you news and notes. A lot of practice reports today. Remember I told you a lot of people did not practice yesterday. But the key is to see how they bounce back. Today's practice reports are very interesting. So let me get him to you. First of all, Sam Bradford did in fact practice again. I think that is important and big news, not only for Sam Bradford, but obviously for Dig's owners, for Theling owners,
for Rudolph owners as well. It looks like barring a sat back, he'll be good to go against the Tampa Bay Bucks at home tonight. Danny Amendola is back at practice. Okay. That is now two days in a row. He's been practicing. Remember he had that concussion, that head injury. He looks like he should be back against the Houston Texans, and I think it's not a minute too soon because remember Tom Brady has that chemistry with a Mendola, something that
is missing with a lot of his new targets. I think a Mendola can make up a lot of what Julian Edelman meant for that Patriots offense. Calvin Benjamin returned to practice. He should be okay. I told you he was gonna be okay. Battling rib and knee injuries. It looks like Kelvin Benjamin will be fine. I think he actually has a big game. I actually think he's worthy of a DFS play because if you remember two things. One,
no Greg Olsen anymore in that Panther's offense. To they're going up against the Saints pass defense, which as you know, is blunt, guts trash. All right. Rob Kelly backed at practice, limited in practice, but he is back at practice. That in my opinion, is trending in the right direction. So that means two things. One, samaj p Ryan, if you thought that this was the way he was gonna pop off on Sunday Night Football, not so much. And also
Chris Thompson. You know how much I love Chris Thompson, but if Rob Kelly is still in the mix, I temper my expectations on him as well. Now we get to the people who are still not practicing today, and I think you can officially be a little bit concerned about their availability four week three. These are the guys that will likely be tagged as questionable, So keep an eye out, keeping either out to the Fantasy Sports radio network all the way up until their games kicked off.
Randall Cobb did not practice today, still battling that chest. He's gonna get the questionable tag. What does that mean for guys like Davante Adams, Martellez Bennett could be a boost if Cobb does not go. Terrence West is still not practicing. He has that thigh issue. Remember I also said traveling that long flight across the pond because they have that early morning London game. I think that additionally
hurts Terence West. I say, fire up Buck Allen, and I think fuck Buck Allen is a RB two this week, especially in PPR formats, because I don't know if Terrence West is gonna be able to go Rex Birkehead with his rib issue. He is still not practicing. I'm gonna tell you something. Gillis Lee solidly has this Legarrett Blunt role that used to be the case in the Patriots offense the past Hatcher, you didn't know who was gonna be. People thought it was gonna be James White, people thought
it was gonna be Dion Lewis. People thought it might have been Rex Burkhead. Well, Rex Burkhead is still not practicing, Dion Lewis hasn't done Jack, So I think James White is now a very viable daily fantasy play. He might be the guy getting a ton of target in that game against the Houston Texans. Also news in Miami, Okay, good on a few side. First of all, Jarvis Landry, he did return to practice. Remember I told you he would be just fine. He did, but return to practice.
He's limited, but trending in the right direction. Okay, same could be said for j Not the same. Excuse me, j G. I E did not practice again. I still ultimately think they are going to run him out there. I just think they're managing that knee injury and then
they're still gonna run him out there. And if he does, I'm gonna tell you something, he's gonna be low owned in DFS because people are scared about this not practicing, they are facing the Jets, and I think A g I e could still be a very interesting DFS play this week against the Jets despite not practicing. I ultimately we believe Jay A g I E Will be out
there on Sunday for the Dolphins. However, the person I was talking about that was practicing but has been downgraded, and this is something you hate to see someone downgraded throughout the week. That means they're not responding well. Where the injuries lingering, it is wide receiver for the Dolphins, DeVante Parker. Everybody's darling. I love DeVante Parker myself, but he's nursing that ankle injury and with him getting downgraded to a d NP not practicing, I think that is
a concern for Miami. Jordan Reed and Rob Gronkowski, they say they appear to be practicing. I think both of them will ultimately be out there for their teams. Marcus Wheaton for the Chicago Bears, he was removed from the injury report. He's been battling a finger issue. Um, he was removed from the injury reports, so it looks like he's gonna make his Bears debut this week. He is a very interesting guy because, as you said, the Bears wide receiver corps has been decimated. That's why we're talking
about Tarik Cohen so much. But Wheaton could add a pre fessional wide receiver on the other side of Kendell. Right, We're not talking about it's like Josh Bellamy anymore. So keep an eye on Marcus Wheat and I'm sure you can go ahead and snatch him up. I think he might be an interesting waiver wire or free agent pickup in your season long league. All right, Um, what I wanna do is I want to talk about this London game real quick, because I'm a little bit concerned on
the way the NFL is doing this right now. Okay, it used to be that if you had the London game the week after that, you had to buy. But check this out. It's Jags and Ravens. Okay from Wembley Stadium early morning on Sunday. The Jags. After this, in Week four, they have a game at the New York Jets. I'm telling you right now, I'm getting ahead of myself, but this could be the one the Jets actually win because the Jags will be coming off that long travel and will be on the road in fact. So I
think that's very interesting. The Ravens, they also have a game in week four. They will host the Steelers in a big time a f C North. Matt Chub I give the Steelers the edge on that because the Ravens will be coming back from London. I think it's very interesting. And you know, if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, remember I had my man Tomic on before talking about the impact of sleep and sleep deprivation as it comes
to athletes. I think this is very interesting. And you know, the NFL talks about players safety all the time, but they're not going to give these teams by after they go across the pond and travel like that. I think that is very very interesting. The other thing I want to know and I wish like if you're out there, if you're up there on Twitter, we're watching on YouTube, holler at me, call me at eight four four a four three six seven nine. Do the Jags matter in London? Like,
are they considered kind of a home team? Is there any buzz in London around Jaguars games? Are there any people out there that are like, yeah, I'm a growing Jaguars fan. I don't think there is. I think this whole endeavor is silly. I understand you want to grow the game, but not at the cost of players safety and disrupting the entire schedule for the whole season for
these teams. I don't. But if you're out there in London, if you're out there in the UK, and you're gonna want to tell me that, no, no, no, the Jags are actually popular. This is a good thing. I think you need to let me know. So hollow at me on Twitter, hollower at me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. But as it comes to the game itself, here's how I see it playing out. Okay, on the Jaguars side, a lot of people are all
hyped up about Leonard Fournette, and oh, Leonard Fournette. He looks great. Leonard Fournette. You know, touchdowns in both games Here's the thing, though, that Baltimore Ravens defense is a step up in class for the Jaguars. The other thing we all saw how four Nett went off in Week one when they beat Houston. They were up big in that game early in the first half, so the game flow was in four nets favor, it was in the jaguars favor. What the Jaguars want to do is limit
the exposure of Blake Bordles. They don't want him throwing the ball that much. They want to be able to ride Leonard Fournette. But or that to be the case, they have to be winning. The game flow has to be working for them. I don't think that is going to be the case. So unfortunately, I think that means less touches for Leonard four Nett, and I think that means the ball is in Blake Bortle's hands a little
bit more. And that's not a good thing for anybody. Okay, maybe if you have Hearns, maybe if you have Lee, you're gonna get some targets. But it's not a good thing on the ravenven side. Okay, listen, this uh Terrence West injury his thigh. He still has not practiced and I don't know. Maybe they're in London already, maybe they're not, but they got that long flight in the travel. I think that sets Terrence West back, whether he plays or not. I am off Terence West. I believe Buck Allen can
be an RB two this week. So if you're calling into me and you're asking me about Buck Allen, I think Buck Allen pops. I think Buck Allen is an RB two in PPR formats for sure, but Terrence West may not go. The other thing I want to tell you about in this Baltimore squad last week, check this out. Joe Flacco had thirty four two D seventeen yards okay. He had twenty five completions. Of those twenty five completions, only five went to wide receivers. Macklin had four and
Mike Wallace had one, okay. Ben Watson had eight catches for ninety one yards on eight targets. Even Max Williams had four catches okay, and then obviously Buck Allen as well. I think that this means and I don't think that changes. I think that is part of the Ravens offense. Joe Flacco loves the tight end. Remember Dennis Pitta back in the day as well. I think that means Benjamin Watson
is a very interesting tight end. Listen, if you lost a guy like Greg Olsen, if you're if you're saddened by the production and of a guy like Jimmy Graham, if you liked Austin Hooper but he only popped off when he had that touchdown in Week one, Benjamin Watson could be a tight and he was a top ad on the waiver wire. I like him in this offense, in this game, all right, So check that out. When we come act like I said, we're gonna talk Rams.
We're gonna talk Thursday Night Football with my guy Nick Leverani. He's gonna join us, and we will get to your calls as well. I know some of you guys are on hold. I'll be read right there and answering you right after we talk Rams and Thursday Night Football with Nick. Come on right back. We're dropping stats over beat. It's a fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on, Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three
NFL softwares 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 o the app F and t s Y 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. Is your boy Dane Martinez?
Speeds and spitting status division holding you down? I want to get you guys ready for Thursday Night Football, which kicks off in about an hour. We got the Rams and the forty Niners getting it on from the Bay. It'll be on the NFL network and UH, to help us out with that, we're bringing in my West Coast correspondent, Nick Leverani. He represents Pro Angle Media out there in Los Angeles. We had them on before breaking down the a f C West, the NFC West and with Nick
joins us again. Now, how are you doing, my friend? How's it going out there? West Coast style? Are you doing? Hang out? Don't taunt me with the weather out there, but let me ask you this. Okay, let me ask you this. To start right off, Thursday Night football is trash. Okay, Thursday Night football is a dumpster fire. It is poor quality football out there. I've been saying it's a reason number one that the NFL does not in fact care
about player safety. So let me ask you this, is there any reason we should expect a good game tonight? I mean it is I guess a division rivalry. Any reason why people should be tuning in expecting good football? Nick, You know, one of the reasons I would tune in tonight is just to look at, you know, an up and coming quarterback like Jared Goff. You know, he's a guy who definitely had some some ups and more downs
than ups last year at his rookie season. But through two weeks he's actually looked really gooding and impressive, and he's actually really uh had a nice rapport with head coach Max Vey. So yeah, sank tonight. Yeah, Sean McVeigh, the coach. I think that's very interesting, and I think that the impact he has had on Goff has been noticeable. Remember he did, you know, some of the same thing
for Kirk Cousins back there in Washington. Let me ask you this, though, Nick, I mean, I'm getting a ton of calls about one Los Angeles rams, specifically It's almost like he's a cult hero already in fantasy circles, Like everybody liked him coming out of college, you know, the third round pick. I'm talking about Cooper Cup. But ask you out there are people like riding with Cooper Cup? Is he almost like a cult hero out there? Um? Or is he more like you know, is he more
the legend of Cooper Cup? Or is there actually substance and meat to his game? There's definitely substance. He's made everyone think, you know, who is Tavon Austin? And where did he go? You know, they gave him that huge contract, and now they got this kid stepping in. You know, broke a ton of records at Eastern Washington and he comes in and he provides a really nice safety net for for golf. And I think golf absolutely loves having him there. And I'll tell you what I'm buying him.
I love him out here. He's he's gonna be a great Assay. You'll probably see his jersey sales rise a bunch the more touchdowns he scores here in l A. Yeah. Absolutely. And also I believe Jared Goff and Cooper Cup even worked out together before they knew the Rams were gonna be drafting Cooper Cup at some of these camps and these workout session and they were together building that chemistry already.
We talked already about also Nick, the impact of McVeigh and his offense on Jared Goff, another guy I want to ask you about his second year stud, uh, Todd Gurley, Right, Like, here's the thing when it comes to Gurley or a third year stud. Here's the thing when it comes to Gurley, Like I was worried about him and last year the way if you were playing against the Rams, right, you were stacking not seven or eight, you were stacking all eleven, all fifty three men on the roster in the box
against the run to try to stop Todd Gurley. As you mentioned, with guys like Watkins and Cup and Goff's development, now defenses can't do that as much. Do you believe in something of a renaissance for Todd Gurley because maybe there's more lanes out there for him because they have to respect the passing game, and also Gurley himself has been involved in the passing game. Tell me your take
on Gurley this year. Yeah, you know, I think one of the main reasons why Girly is such a valuable said in the fantasy department, is because he's you know, he's the bell count. Nobody else is getting touches down there. So uh, I think the wide receivers for the Rams definitely benefit from having Girly back there because of them, you know, starting to stack the box a little bit more. It's gonna open up the field a little bit more.
But you know, he he doesn't have any competition there, So that's why Girley will remain you know, a forcing right and then just as that go progresses in that though there's more report with the receivers, it's only gonna bode wed what better for him as the season goes on. So yeah, absolutely, definitely I like that. Absolutely. We agree with you there. I agree with you there. Let me ask you this because you know, we bring we we bring you on to talk about out West, this NFC
West Division as a whole. It's kind of interesting thing, okay, because listen, nobody expects big things from the forty nine ers. Some people thought that the Cardinals were a playoff contender, and that cannot no longer be said in my opinion, with the loss of David Johnson, and it looks like
Carson Palmer has fallen off a cliff as well. I don't know if you've been listening to the Fantasy re Style Nick, but one of my narratives about the beginning of the football season is that bad offensive line play we are seeing in some places around the NFL, and Seattle is definitely one of those places. I don't think offensive line play, you know, like gets better mid season. So let me ask you out there in l A. Are there people that believe that the Rams can actually
contend for this division title? Just just by the looks of how bad the NFC West and not even just the NFC West, but the NFC in general is just seems like it's on a downturn right now, while the a f C has just been a much better uh you know, quality of play seems like all around. But I definitely believe that the Rams could be a team that just shocks the world and maybe steals this division
with like an eight eight record. Who knows, you know, they do have that uh that a little bit of a softer schedule, and I totally think that they could, uh you know, be there when it's all said and done. I mean, these divisional matchups. These are these are crucial, These are huge games. You gotta steal these on the road when you can. So I'm I'm all in on the hype on the Rams and Jared Goff, So I hope they I hope they can pull it off. Once again.
This is Nick Leverriani joining the fantasy freestyle representing Pro Angle media out there in Los Angeles. All right, So he thinks that, you know, this could be one of those years where like a nine and seven team could win the NFC West. You talk about also this, uh, the divisional matchups and a road division win would be huge for the Los Angeles Rams. So I gotta ask you. Let me put you on the spot, Nick, do they get the win tonight? What's your prediction for tonight Thursday
Night Football? So I'm gonna I'm gonna say that the Rams are gonna try to establish their run early in and open up the passing game, where I think it's gonna be the opposite effect for the Niners. I think they're gonna have to try to make a few big plays early. You maybe see them take a couple of shots deep to Markue's good win to try to open up the game a little bit, but I think that Rams defense is a little bit too stout and I'm gonna stay win for the for the Rams tonight. Interesting, Nick,
you mentioned sixteen. I'm a smart guy. I can do math that up to thirty nine. The overall under on this game is forty okay, and so it sounds like you're taking the Rams and the under in this game. Ao, Nick. We got a poll question up there right now, and forty six percent of the people agree with you. That is the biggest thing. Rams taking the minus three even though they are on the road a road favorite. The people on our poll for like the Rams and under
as well, So the people are riding with you. Hey, um, Nick, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you about the other team out there in l A as well, and that's the Chargers. This a f C West Division, you know, unlike the NFC West, the a f C West is really bringing it. You know. The Chiefs look amazing. Everybody loves the Raiders. The Broncos, who I actually thought we're gonna regress a little bit, look good. And our two and oh on the arm of Trevor Simeon and C. J.
Anderson back there. The Chargers though they're O and two, but they could be two and no, you know, if not for their kicker missing a couple of things. So what's the buzz around the Chargers first of all? And then Nick, why are they sticking with this kicker? You know? I think it goes back to the m O. You know, it's like here we go again, you know, the Chargers finding a way to lose the game, you know, when
when they very easily could just wrap it up. It's very frustrating because they have one of the more talented teams I've you know, I've seen you know play this year. So it's it's very frustrating. And I think that this weekend they haven't They have a home divisional matchup. This This is one I think that the Chargers will take because it is it is essentially a must win in a week where you don't want to go three and losing two division games. So I think they will prevail
this week and win this game at home. It's a it's a must win. And with the regards to the kicker, you know what I mean. Obviously we see kickers all the time nowadays missing extra points. You know, I think you got to give the kid a little bit more of a shot, give him a little bit more of a leash. Uh. Yeah, he did miss a couple of huge kicks. The first one was blocked. They'll give him the I'll give him a path on that one, but I'll say, if he misses another game potential game winning
fields this week, then I'd say he's gotta go. All right. So Nick, Everyanni over here saying three strikes and you're out for the charges kicker, young Way coup. But its being given him a little bit of an extra time. Hey, I want to get you out of here on this one. Nick, check this out. Do you know what Sammy Watkins and Kyrie Irving having commons is that they both believe the Earth is flat. I don't know if you heard this. Sammy Watkins came out and also said that he apparently
is also a flat earther. Can I ask, do you subscribe to the same theory? Nick? Not so much. You know, it's sad because Kyrie's a Jersey guy. He's gets that Jersey education like me. I'm very disappointed in him. And I don't know what Sammy's thinking either. You know, it's it's a popular belief right now, so maybe they're just going with a few trends right now. Fair enough, fair enough, and Nick, thanks for joining us again on the Fantasy Freestyle.
If news breaks out there on the West Coast, whether it be with some of these teams or anything else, you will be the guy we go to. You, our official West Coast correspondent dropping stats over beats as the Fantasy Freestyle. Thanks for joining us again, Nick, Thanks appreciate it, no problem. Thanks to Nick for once again joining us. He gave you some of the insights for the Rams
and Thursday Night Football, and also listen. He thinks it could be a surprise team actually competing to win the n f C West and if they are to do that, they're gonna need to get a road win tonight against the San Francisco forty Niners. Listen, tomorrow night, I'm gonna be joined by my guy Chris Ventrol. We're gonna be
giving you our DFS lineups. But what you need to do when you take that DFS lineup or if you listen to line up block live with me and Tony Sincada, you gotta go to d K M S right Okay, so we're partnering with d KMS to help fight blood cancer. You need to go to Daily Roado dot com or Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k m S. What you could do is you could enter a for free if and is a DFS contest any week of the NFL season. We're doing this from weeks one through sixteen.
If you win any of those weeks, you get entered into a DFS contest for weeks seventeen, and if you win that, you get two tickets to Super Bowl fifty two in Minnesota in early February. It is a no lose proposition. You also get to learn a lot more about how you could potentially help the fight against blood cancer and maybe register to be a blood donor. You could register to be a blood a bone marrow donor. I think it's really important. My man Chris Pavona, the Manimal,
has already registered. I'm about to go over there and register as well. You can save a life. It is that easy. Think about it. Register with d k MS and maybe you know, maybe you can donate some blood, some bone marrow and really help out the cause. And if you do big things on the DFS contest. You can go to Super Bowl fifty two as well. When we come back, I'm gonna open up the phone lines.

Dame Martinez speeds the spitting statistician holding you down on a Thursday, and we are gonna open up the phone lines right now. If you want to get involved, you still can at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. My first caller, it is Dan in New Jersey. It sounds like Dan's gotta lex question.
You're dropping stats over beats on a fantasy freestyle. What's going on? Then it's actually not a lex question, Okay, it's actually a start tit for wide receiver and tight end. Okay, So it's a standard ted team UM three wide receiver start no flex UM. My wide receivers are Dez Mortevious Bryant, Uh, Tyreek Hill, Tarl Prior mac Lenn Cobb, and then the two tight ends are Cleaner and in Doyle. Okay, thanks
for the call. First of all, Dan, First of all, I'm taking Cob out because remember he's still not practicing. I'm taking mac len out because, as I said at the top of the show, Um Baltimore Ravens offense is really utilizing the tight ends and the backs, and I don't trust things that happened across the pond. So we're left with Dez, Martavis, Bryant, and Tyreek Hill. Okay. Um, you know Dez is gonna have Patrick Peterson on him Monday Night. Okay, So I think that is a little
bit of an issue. I like Tyreek Hill. And here's the thing with Martevis Bryant. He's so boom or bust. He is so boom robust. So here's the thing. Here's the way I'm gonna tell it to you, Dan Um, Tyreek Hill is in. Okay for the rest for the other guys, if you feel like you're playing let's say you're playing against one of the top teams in the league,
like you're projected points, you're projected to lose. Right in that case, I like Martavis Bryant because he has that potential to really pop off and go big with two touchdowns or a bomb. Right. If you, however, are projected to win, you know, or and you think you could play it safe and you need kind of the more secure floor in that scenario, I go with Dez Bryant. Okay. So I like Tyree Hill regardless. It's not Macklin, it's not Cobb. If you need a big play, it's Martevis Bryant.
If if you're feeling safe out there, we go with Dez Bryant. All right, let's keep it moving though. Thanks for the called Dan. Raphael is an Allantown p A. I spent the little town, and I spent a little time in Allantown in a previous life. They have that Sands casino over there, but it's only like video machines, right, They don't have real tables out there, Rafael, do that. I'm going there at tyna clock and it's everything, tables,
everything you want they got there now. Yeah, because it used to be it used to be just video stuff though, right like what it first opened up, used to be videos. But now, like I said, table games. Everything they got saved me a seat next to you at the blackjack table. Baby, the dealer will be showing a six. I'll be doubling down for sure. How can I help you? Man? Which your question? Alright? Man? So I got two questions for you.
So I need a wide receiver. Three. I got t Y Hilton, I got Richard Matthews, and I got Jermaine Curse, who started in that spot. I like Chrishard Matthews. I like Chrishard Matthews in that spot. And remember, because Corey Davis has been ruled out. Okay, Corey Davis has been ruled out. And remember, um, you got Eric Decker there as well. And Richard Sherman doesn't follow. They're playing Seattle. Richard Sherman doesn't follow and track. He stays on one
side of the field. I think Richard Matthews can eat. That's that's my answer there. What's your second question? Man? Awesome? So my FLEXI question? Uh pick Devin Funches, Uh, Kevin Coleman, Derrick Henry or Quiz Rodgers Uh for your flex spot. I'm taking one of the backs. I'm taking one of the backs, either Tevin Coleman or Jack Quiz Rodgers. I think Jack Quiz Rodgers is gonna have the most guaranteed touches. Okay, Um, last week they ran it out against Chicago and they
let like Peyton Barbera get a lot of touches. I don't think that is gonna be the case this this week. So when they so, I like Pop Quiz Joc Quiz Rodgers there, all right, and remember save a spot for me at the blackjack table. I'll be right there. I'll be doubling down on nine when the deal is showing at six. You could believe that Jeremiah in New York. You are next on the Fantasy Freestyle with dropping stats over beats. It sounds like you have a question about
running backs. How can I help you out on this Thursday. Uh yeah, I got three backs, three all fertterbacks to it to say the least. Um we got Marshawn, I got Um Davonte, and I got Time Montgomery. I want to know who's the two much to start this speak? Definitely Time Montgomery. Definitely Time Montgomery. I love Time Montgomery. Who are the other ones? You said, Marshawn Lynch and yeah, I go with Freeman and Time Montgomery. Okay, I think
here's the thing with Oakland. I love Marshawn Lynch, don't get me wrong, but on Sunday Night football, I think this game flow is gonna be a lot of back and forth throwing. I think both of these quarterbacks car and Kirk Cousins are gonna be throwing the ball, and I think that means maybe a little bit less time on the field from Marshawn mo On Lynch. So I'm going with Freeman and Time Montgomery. Thanks for the call, Hope.
I'm helping you out on the Fantasy Freestyle. Next up on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats is Jordan's in Arizona. Jordan, what's going on? How could I help you dropping stats over beats on the fantasy freestyle? What's up? What's up? I've had a flexed question about UM. I have Christian, Chris McCaffrey, uh Amari Cooper, Jared ar saw Sy, Travis Kelsey, jack Or Doyle, uh Tyroll Williams, the Sean Jackson, Chris Carson. Sounds like we've got a lot of people,
man star, Yeah, and so what do you need? What's the specific question for you? Man? Uh need to start to running back to two receivers and maybe two tight ends. I don't know. Okay, Okay, so we got Jordan out here. I'm I'm doing Jordan's whole line up for week three. Okay, So let's look first, real quick at the running back position. At the running back position, I like Tarik Cohen for sure. And I gotta tell you something. I think that this is the week that Joe Mixon has his breakout. Remember
they changed to a new offensive coordinator in Cincinnati. I think they're gonna get the ball out a little bit more. I like Joe Mixing to pop off a little bit this week. I like him over Christian McCaffrey. Call it a hunch, but I like Joe Mixing and Tyrot Cohen. When it comes to your tight ends, that's an easy decision. You take Travis Kelsey all day and twice on one day. He is my number one tight end overall. When it comes to the wide receivers, I didn't hear them all,
but um, I like Marie Cooper Shore shore Shore. You mentioned a lot of other guys. I didn't get them all, but U Amari Cooper definitely belongs in there. So here's what I'm telling you. I'm telling you Cohen and Mixing at running back and definitely Kelsey. It was a little bit too many people. I couldn't if you see me on YouTube, I'm trying to write them down, trying to write it all down, and I couldn't. I couldn't fill them all. So I'm giving you your running backs Cohen
and Mixing, and your tight end is definitely Kelsey. Called back tomorrow if you need some more help with that wide receiver position. But thanks for the call. I'm trying to help you out. But I gotta help a bunch of other people out as well, including Simon in Atlanta. Simon, you were on the Fantasy Freestyle. But do me a favor. Do me if your favorite Simon, don't tell me like eight guys. Okay, I need like a couple of very specific questions because you know, my my, my hand, my
hand is tough writing everybody down. But Simon, you are dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you out? Thanks? Man? I first want to say I'm a huge fan of the show. Thank you. I appreciate that. Um yeah, I had a Flex question. Um My wide receivers are Jordy and Manuel Sanders and then Brandon Cooks, and I was wondering if I should start Cooks Buck Allen or THEO Riddick at Flex this week? And it's standard league, all right. I love Buck Allen.
I love Buck Allen this week. The fact that it's standard means that THEO Riddick has less value for you, okay, Simon, because you know, theoretic gets a lot of his value from the targets and the PPR chive and formats. Okay, I love Buck Allen this week. I told you I think he is an RB two. And here's the thing, because Terrence West, he's got this thigh issue. They're traveling across the pond to London. I think that creates a concern as well. So I love Buck Allen as far
as your wide receivers. Yeah, these guys are all good, Jordy, Manny Sanders and Cooks. So if you need Buck Allen and the flex, that's fine. But of these white out you told me I think Jordy is back playing, and because Randall Cob may not be playing, I love Jordy as always, and I think, um, listen, I think you can run out Manny Sanders, all right, I think you could run out Manny Sanders this week. I really like what the Denver Broncos are doing. Trevor Simmeyon is taking
a step forward. And in New England, Cooks and Brady haven't really built all of that chemistry just yet. So I'm going, uh, I'm going Jordi and Manny Sanders, and I love Buck Allen. Maybe in your flex, especially because Terrence West is still banged up. All right, let's keep it moving. I got Steve in Massachusetts. Step in Massachusetts. It sounds like you're dealing with what to do with danger Russ Russell Wilson. What's your question man? If it's going on, my man, how you doing to I'll do
it alright, man. After after you helped me out, I'm probably gonna get get something neat while I listen to you to tell me what you're gonna say. So I says I'm doing pretty good right now. That sounds good. What's your question, man? Uh? And to ask you about Russell Russell Wilson. I was just wondering, um, should I try to find somebody else on the wire? Are like just just um just play him? It depends on your options out there. Who are the options out there for you?
Because like all right, uh, Jay Cutler, M Simeons, Yeah, still available. Trevor Simeon, Like I just told the last caller, I like Trevor Simeon. I wouldn't drop Russell Wilson for Trevor Simeon. But if you're worried about the long term prospects of Russell Wilson, yes, I think Trevor Simeon is ascending. He's working well with da Marius Thomas and Manny Sanders. Like I just told the last caller. I like what's happening in Denver. I think Trevor Simeon is taking a
step forward. I would not drop Russell Wilson by any stretch, but if you need a kind of second quarterback, and I understand that you do, because that offensive line has not protected Russell Wilson at all and they have looked like a dumpster flyer. I understand what you're saying, Steve Um, but yeah, Trevor Simmy, it is someone who's looked pretty good. I got time, Chris for one more call. Hey, Rob, you gotta be real quick, Robin, Los Angeles will coming
up against the break. I need, uh, you got two wide receivers, be real quick? Who you got for me? Hey man? I need either Parker Prior Thomas and then uh something about high tonight if you could, please, all right, Parker Prior or Thomas. Huh um, take out Davantay Parker. He was downgraded. He was downgraded from limited to not practicing today. I don't like him trending in the wrong direction, so I go with the other two real quick. With your last question, he dropped. I'm sorry about that, but
I take out Davantay Parker. It is distressing when people go from full or limited in practice downgraded to not practicing later in the week. That is a very telltale concerning sign. So I am concerned with DeVante Parker. When we come back, I'm gonna try and see if we can get to some of your calls. I know there's a couple of people right there. Um, I'm gonna try and get to your calls. And I'm gonna also tell you about a lawsuit that the NFL is about to
see coming. Come all right back and listen. We're dropping stats over beats. Is the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Fantasy Pretty Style. I'm a little bit concerned on the way the NFL is doing this right now. Okay, it used to be that if you had the London game the week after that, you had him by. But check this out. It's Jags and Ravens, Okay from Wembley Stadium. The Jags in week four, they
have a game the Ravens. They also have a game in week for The NFL talks about players safety, but they're not gonna give these teams by after they go across the bend and travel like that week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But if it wasn't for the brawn is Rapish, probably never will be going on Tell Me Where you from? You know where I'm from, Studio thirty four, locking it down, dropping status over beats of the Fantasy
Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got time for one more caller. It sounds like it's Thomas and Nashville. Tell me where you from? Thomas. It sounds like you got a question about quarterbacks? My friend? What's your question? How can I help you? Dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. Hey man, I'm from Nashville, and uh, I've got Kirk Cousins. He's burnt me these two weeks, and I've got Trevor Simmons on the beach. I don't
know which way to go. Yeah, yeah, thanks for the calling, Thanks for holding so long out there in Nashville, big things. I understand your pain, Okay, And like I just called, I just told the last caller, I love what Trevor Simeon has been doing. He's got a decent match up on the road against Buffalo, But this is still Kirk Cousins.
This is the last chance saloon for Kirk Cousins. In my opinion, the Oakland Raiders past defense is trash okay, So it's kind of like, if not now, then when I believe this is the chance, this is the week Kirk Cousin shows up, shows out. I believe you ride with Kirk Cousins one more time at home on Sunday Night football against the Oakland Raiders. And thanks for the call. I go with Kirk Cousins. I like that, Thanks for everybody,
all the callers, everybody on Twitter as well. Remember we got a Thursday night football going on all right now, and forty eight percent of you think you should take the Rams minus three on the road and take the under forty points right there. And I gotta tell you something, Well tomorrow when I give you my DFS lineup, you could also go over to www. Dot Fantasy factor dot com. They're doing when um DFS tournaments, and the beautiful part
about them is it's single entry tournaments. I like that you don't have to compete against people throwing a hundred lineups out there. It's very interesting. Check it out over at www Dot Fantasy factor dot com. The last thing I want to tell you about today before I slide on in to Gabe more Ency for Red Heat and
Rage right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. UM. I don't know if this really changes anybody's thinking on it all, but um, Aaron Hernandez had stage three CT that has been discovered that he had Stage three CT and his family is going to now file a lawsuit against the NFL. I think that's very interesting because, like, is I mean, is that a legitimate mental health defense? Now? Think about all the stuff that some of these football
players have done in the past. Okay, you know the murder suicide the Kansas City player a few years back, right, Like, should we now get to the point where we should not hold football players accountable for what they do because this brain issue ct E that they're dealing with is like a legitimate mental health defense. I don't know, And it's obviously a move point because you know, um, Aaron
Hernandez is no longer with us. But you know, I do think that is a very very interesting wrinkle that now the NFL is gonna have to deal with their
getting a lawsuit from the Hernandez family. So I think that's very interesting I want to give a shout out real quick to Clayton trey Han as usual, responding to the poll questions on Twitter, saying that the Rams may actually be able to put up some points on this Niners defense, but if Hoyer and Hide can keep it up for a few quarters, they see it going over forties.
So Clayton has taken the over. My boy, Glorious Joe out there on Twitter says to tease these both six points and take the Rams from minus three to plus three, make the total up to forty six, and take the under. I personally like the Rams, but I think this is gonna be um a little bit more higher scoring than people think. So I like the Rams to win this game. Like Nick said, I think they could be a surprise contender this year. And I think that sneakily this goes
over the total. That's what you Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician, has to say. I thank you to everybody who called in to hear what you have to say. And tomorrow listen, we're gonna be breaking down all the games if I can. We're gonna get to your calls at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine and also gonna be giving you my d f S lineup for week three. We're gonna make it hot.
