Week 4 Home Dogs, DFS Lineups, and more!

It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds ak to spitting Statistician, and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out as always, everybody listening live on I Heart Radio, Everybody listening live on tune In Radio, everybody watching live on the YouTube live stream right here on the Fantasy Sports Network. The number to call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.

I got my man, Chris Bovona, the Manimal. He's on the ones and tools keeping. It's so hot that we sweat steam. We are blowing up like a Samsung seven. It is a football Friday as we get ready for Week four of the NFL season. I gotta start off though with this. I know you listen. Trollers are gonna

troll hate isn't gonna hate. And my timeline was blowing up when the Green Bay Packers were doing much more than covering the seven points spread last night and Thursday Night football, I have some reactions, and I gotta tell you something. I still thought that that game could have went differently. But who knew that Mike Glennon was such blunt, guts trash. I mean, we all knew, but we didn't know that he was gonna gift Aaron Rodgers with not one,

not two, but three short fields. A lot of other stuff to talk about from that game, obviously the tremendous hit that Danny Trevathan put on. Uh, Davante Adams, It's good to see that. It looks like, you know, he has feeling in all his extremedies and that he is going to be okay. But the Packers, listen, their offensive tackles are out. But also they got banged up at the running back position, uh last night. Both Time Montgomery and Jamal Williams look like they are going to miss

some time here for the next couple of weeks. For the Green Bay Packs, it looks like Aaron Jones could be a big name on the Week five waiver wire. We'll get into that a little bit as well. I'll update these practice reports. Um a couple of people that you need to worry about four week four that are definitely going to be game time decisions. We're gonna get into that. And you know it's Friday, so we're gonna do two things. Want I'm gonna tell you which home

dogs you need to take. I told you about these home dogs last week. There was something like nine of them, and seven of them covered in week one. I told you about a couple of them in week two. I even gave you the Indianapolis Colts when everybody thought that was crazy. We have four opportunities, and that is our poll question on Twitter. Which of these guys might win outright? Which are these home underdogs? Will it be the Texans

at home with division rival Tennessee coming to town. Will it be the New York Jets who welcome in the Jacksonville Jaguars straight off their trip from London. Will it be the Cleveland Browns who were taken on the new offensive coordinator the laser out there in Cincinnati. Or will it be a big time rivalry in the a f CD North where the Baltimore Ravens are home dogs against the Pittsburgh Steelers. All of these guys are only like two and a half or three point dogs, but they

are sleeping in their own bed. So let's see if that helps. If you want to go, you can find that on Twitter at Spitting Speeds at f n T S by Radio. When we come back, I give you injuries, my takeaways from Thursday Night football, we talk home dogs, and then we're gonna get into your calls at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, I'll give you out my winning DFS line up for week

four as well. We're dropping stats over beats is the Fantasy Freestyle which your boy Speeds the Spitting Statistician come all right back, like, Hey, I'm Melissa US and I'm Jill and where the interns. The Fantasy Sports Radio New Network and d k MS want to send you to Minnesota this February. All you have to do is play our Big Game Tribute Challenge sponsored by d k MS starting next week. Answer four questions right, and I'm heading to the Big Game. Tune in to find out when

the contest will be running. So what are you waiting for? Play the Big Game Tribute Challenge sponsored by d KMS only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, you can hate me now, but I won't stop now. It speeds the spitting statistician dropping status over beef on on the Fantasy Freestyle. A lot of people are hating because I like the Bears plus seven last night, but yo, that was a very weird game between the weather delay, between the crazy hit to Davante Adams, and also because it

may in fact be trabiskie time. I got my thoughts on that. You know what. Let me get into that right now. Okay, because the Green Bay Packers they put in work and they are now three and one, but it may be a situation where they're winning the battle but losing the war. Okay, time Montgomery looks like has broken ribs. Then next man up was my guy and Jake Seely's guy. At the beginning of the season, we were all very high on Jamal Williams, thinking he could

be a back that ascended throughout the year. He's got a spray knee after like three carries, and then it becomes Aaron Jones. That's the next man up. We shall see. I don't know how much time Williams is actually going to miss He may actually be okay, but listen, early next week, we're definitely gonna be talking about these Packers

running backs on the waiver wire. I thought Aaron Rodgers might have struggled with both offensive tackles missing the game, Ryan Bolagha and David Baktiari, but they looked really, really good. And if these guys are healthy towards the end of the season, watch out for the Green Bay Packers. The other thing on the other side of things, Listen, I got it wrong. Okay, I got it wrong. It was a weird game. There are a lot of penalties in that game, and obviously, um Mike Glennan's days as the

Chicago Bears starting quarterback are likely numbered. I mean, there were times when Kawer and some of the other guys on the telecast, even Tony Romo, were saying that he wasn't playing that horribly. Glennon went twenty one of thirty three yards one touchdown, but the turnovers of what got him two interceptions and two fumbles deep in his own territory in the first half that really put the Bears in a problem situation. But I gotta tell you something

I don't know. I don't know if they should really go to the kid TRABISKI. Let me tell you why. Okay, First of all, the mini by helps. Right, They're gonna have ten or eleven days to prepare for their next game. Their next game is not until Monday night football against Minnesota. So having the mini by after the Thursday night game, that helps, you know, that helps him maybe prepare if this is the time you want to do it. But

I gotta tell you something. They made the point over and over again last night that the Bears just are not dynamic on offense on the outside. So whether it's Glennon or whether it's someone else, that quarterback Trabinsky, he would have that same exact issue. Here's the other thing. I don't know if you've seen the schedule for the Bears, uh coming up, but it's not that easy. They got the Minnesota Vikings, then they have the Baltimore Ravens, then

they have the Carolina Panthers. Would you really want to start your young rookie quarterback with three tough defenses in a row. I don't want that to become something like remember David Carr when he was drafted first overall with Houston and how he got sacked like sixty times and it kind of beat the coordination out of him, beat the fear into him. I would worry about that. I don't know that you need to run out Trabinsky right now.

Obviously every snap he takes as a starter this year would help the Bears moving forward, but I don't know if you want to really submit him to that. And as head coach John Fox said, they have a lot more to deal with then just quarterback. Let me give you some news in from around practices in the NFL today. Okay, Doug Baldwin, I've been telling you this is gonna be the biggest one four week four. Doug Baldwin still with

that groin injury. Listen, he's a game time decision. The problem is the Seahawks are on Sunday Night Football playing against the Indianapolis Colts. So if you have him in your lineup and you don't know which way it's gonna go, what you need to do is you need to make sure you on your bench have another Seahawk, a guy like Tyler Lockett. I told you about Paul Richardson as the waiver wire ad if Doug Baldwin doesn't go. He was only ten percent owned earlier in the week. That's

a guy you can go with. If Doug Baldwin doesn't go, you could also try to get yourself some Indianapolis colts from that game if you want. T Y Hilton has got to be owned, but maybe Dante Moncrief is not. Or look to Monday night where the Washington football team plays against the Chantis City Chiefs. Obviously Tyreek Killers roster and on Washington you gotta figure Prior and Crowder or rostered. But maybe you can get yourself a Josh Dockson as a stash if you want to risk it with Doug Baldwin,

but he's gonna be the key. Also not practicing today Lion's wide receiver Kenny Golladay with that hamstring. Michael Crabtree did not practice and this is a true downgrade, okay, because he was limited earlier in the week. Remember what these practice reports, this is what I'm saying. It's all about how they're trending during the week, and Michael Crabtree is trending down with that chest injury. This could be a real issue for Oakland limited four Week four will

be the returning Willie snead. Willie Stein kind of popped up on the injury report with hamstring injury, and I'm gonna have uh next week. I'm gonna bring back friends of the show, Thomas Lowe, the license certified athletic trainer,

because I want to ask about these hamstrings. We're seeing a lot of hamstring injuries at the beginning of the season, and I wonder if this is something like as you work back into football shape, that this is a common I want to ask my friend to a show here nottified Certified license athletic trainer, Thomas Lowe, but also Carlos Hide is gonna be a game time decision because of that hip injury that he's got as the forty Niners

take on the Cardinals. But you could feel free in Carolina, Cam Newton was removed from the injury report with his shoulder. Calvin Benjamin removed from the injury report, so he'll be good to go with that knee. And I think that's very interesting. And remember earlier on in the week, a couple of people who are wondering about Devin Funcius as a waiver wire ad. But if Kelvin Benjamin is healthy and playing and dressing, then that is not something you want.

Julio Jones also removed from the injury report. This means that Julio is likely gonna just be dealing with this all year. They're gonna manage his reps. You're gonna see Julio pop up on the practice reports all week as like limited or missing practice. But when the time come comes, Julio is gonna be out there for the undefeated Atlanta Falcon. Same could be said for Delaney Walker because of another hamstring injury. We're gonna talk about Delaney Walker a little

bit later on in the show. Some disturbing news surrounding Delaney Walker and his family, and also Jack Doyle removed from the injury report because of that foot. However, out for the Jets will be Matt Forte he's got turf toe, and Tyler Eiffort and John Ross. These guys it's every week, but neither one of them is playing. For the Cincinnati Bengals, expect a j Green and Joe Mixon. As someone else said on the show, Sir mix a lot will be the kind of the main studs for Cincinnati. In my opinion,

all right. I told you about Thursday night football. Yep, I got it wrong. I told you professional gamblers get it right between fifty five and six percent of the time. For me, it was part of the other forty percent of the time. What are you gonna do but listen, I'm I'm worried about these Packers. The offensive tackles gone time Montgomery with broken ribs. He might miss a couple of weeks. Jamal Williams. Also, I mean Aaron Jones was their fourth string running back for a reason. At some point.

I know they have Aaron Rodgers, but at some point this has to have an impact. We shall see, and we'll also see if the Bears do in fact make a switch at quarterback, because as you know, they have the mini buy. But those defenses that they're seeing over the course of the next month would be a very interesting welcoming committee for Mitchell Don't call me Mitch Trabinsky. As we keep moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we're about to open up the phone lines for our middle segment.

The number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You can still get at me if you have any last minute sit starts or create trade questions as you get ready for Week four of the NFL and the fantasy football season. I also want to talk about these home dogs, and I got the pole question up to see what home dogs you like maybe to win outright. I like two of them this week. I like two out of the four of them. Okay, the two that I like. First of all, I like

the Baltimore Ravens plus three against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're at home, and this has just been like a blood feud man. This has been a big time rivalry. These guys play close games, and we know the narrative about Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the road, their offense has not been as dynamic. This Baltimore Ravens defense

is strong, although they got wrecked last week. Think I'm more willing to throw that game away because it's the weird London game than throwing away the long pattern we've seen with the Pittsburgh Steelers, both on the road and in these rivalry games with with Baltimore. I like the Ravens. If you give me three points at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think Big Ben and the Bees will break out eventually. I don't know if it happens this week.

I can see the Steelers winning this game, but I can see this being a very close game of twenty three kind of game six kind of game. I think in this kind of blood feud, the three points is definitely important. Give me to the Ravens at home plus the three the other home dog that I like. I like the New York Football Jets this week. Okay, I don't know that they're gonna win the game, but I

don't think this Jacksonville. I mean, I think the Jacksonville defense is for real, But are you really telling me that Blake Bortles is gonna be a road favorite. I saw the a couple of weeks ago with the Cleveland Browns, and the Cleveland Browns were road favorites in India, and everyone was like, oh, indeed, so horrible. Of course, of course we're gonna do this. And then what happened. The Colts at home won that game. I believe it was

I expect something similar. Don't get me wrong. This Jacksonville defense is going to put pressure on Josh mccount, may even may even turn them over. But I saw this Jets defense perform at home. I saw them shut down j G I E. I think they might be able to do the same thing if they key in on Leonard four net and then it all goes on the arm of Blake Bordle. So give me the Jets plus three. Remember, I think the Jets are gonna win four or fewer games this year, but they got one last week. They

may be competitive this one as well. However, I do think the Titans are a better team than the Texans, and I think the Bengals take care of the Browns, and I'd lay the points there. Let's see what you guys have. What you guys think. We have a Twitter pole question up there right now. Thirty nine percent of you agree. Thirty nine percent of you have the Ravens plus three against the Steelers as the home dog you would take. So maybe we're on the same page and

I get less strolls. We'll see what happens. We're gonna open up the phone to day four four, eight, four, three, six, eight, seven nine. Phone lines are open if you want to holler at spitting speeds. Next segment is the time to do it. We'll help you get ready for week four, dropping stats over beats on the fantasy freestyle, which your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go under 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 eats three and it's twenty four seven, the best Fantasy sports ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. No dignity, no doubt. That's what it is right here with Speeds, the spitting statistician. You're dropping stats over beats.

It's a fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I want to tell you something. If you've been listening to the show, you know that we're here at the Fantasy Sports Network. We are partnering with d k m S as we try to help fight blood cancer. Here's what we're doing. You can go to Daily Roado dot com. You can go to Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k m S and for free you can enter a DFS tournament. I'm about to give you my

DFS line up for Week four. Okay, so if you want to play with that, do a little bit of tinkering. We're gonna have my man Chris the Ventra, the analyst with me as well. We're gonna be giving out our DFS lineups. If you want to use that as a base, play a little bit with it and maybe you can win the week for DFS contest with d k MS. Here's what happens. All the winners weeks one through sixteen play a DFS contest for week seventeen of the NFL

football season. That'll only be a sixteen entry contest. So I like the odds if you win one of the weeks, you know, weeks one through sixteen, you win Week seventeen. We're giving you two tickets to Super Bowl fifty two in Minnesota in early February. But what's more, when you go on the website, you learn a little bit more about blood cancer, how you can help to fight. You might be a match for someone that is fighting this

disease and really help. You know, you could register to be a blood donor, you could register to be a bone marrow donor. It's really important. And then this way, even if you lose the DFS contest, you still win because you can be a match for someone fighting this disease. Help us as we partnered with d k MS to help fight blood cancer. All right, we got the phone lines open called now like my name was MS Cleo at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.

We're gonna kick it off today with VJ in Houston. Hey, VJ, you were in Houston dropping stats over the beats. How can I help you out for week four? Man? Hey, what's up? Speed? Love the show as always? Man? Hey, two quick questions, one tight End and the Standard League. I gotta pick between Clay and Rudolph. I like Clay this week. I really like uh. I really like Charles Clay. Listen, Um, Clay could lead the Buffalo Bills in targets. You know right now, if you look at the Buffalo Bills, Shady

McCoy is number one in targets and catches. Clay is number two. They're not using Jones, they're not using Jordan and Matthews. Okay, I really like Clay. They're gonna have to try to keep up against Atlanta. I like Charles Clay in the tight end this week. What's your second question? Man? I asked you this, but I just need a little bit of like explanation on this. This was for my

flex and a half point PPR. I asked you between Isaiah Crowell, Martavius Jones, Jakis Rogers, and Marshall and told me Bryant, I just want to know, do you think he's gonna be good on the road again? I mean he's been poured on the road. Yeah. The Steelers have been you know, poor on the road. We've been talking about that. That's the narrative around Big Ben, right. But here's the thing. Everybody who watches Fantasy Freestyle knows that pop Quiz joc Quiz Rodgers has been my man this time.

That time has come to move off of pop quiz jocck quiz Rogers. Okay. The Giants run defense is still stout with Snacks Harrison in there, and then Doug Martin is coming back. Okay, So if it's not pop quiz to me, um, the other elaboration I'll give you is that I am off Isaiah crow Well, you have him on your team. You know, he's getting like thirty yards a game. Duke Johnson is ascending in that Cleveland backfield, and I think that's something, you know, I think that

Crowell continues to underwhelm. So I like the boom or bust power of Mark Tavis Brian. I think he could get into the end zone this week against uh against is it, you know, against the Baltimore Ravens, and so I like Bryant. That's why it's more that I'm fading pop quiz against the Giants defense and crow Well. I'm a little bit nervous about the play of Duke Johnson being the man there. But thanks for the call VJ out there. Hope we get you a win for week four.

Keeping it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Up next is read in Michigan. You are dropping stats over beats with speeds the spitting statistician. How gonna help you read? For week four? Ye ago? And I'm having a kind of a rupt go of this this season. I'm owing three. Okay, let's get you a win. Let's get you a win. Bounce back. Then, I just don't understand how I'm losing. My two running backs are Zekiel Elliott and Levan Bell, Like,

how am I losing? Right? I mean, you gotta just ride with them sometimes there's nothing you could do about that, right, Like, I'm telling you you're gonna start Zeke, You're gonna start Levan Bell. Every week it's just been you know, Uh, it's just been a tough go of. It's so far, I think both of them wind up ascending. What else you got then? But I got a question about my other league. I've got Joe Mixon, who's doing pretty well now, and I've got DeVante Parker, and I'm wondering which one

would be better in the flex spot this week? Is it PPR standard, It's PPR half point? All right? Listen, Uh, I would go with Devonte Parker. And here's why. Okay, I like Mixing. Also listen, I have Mixing on my own big time home league fantasy team, and I think that he is a send to be the lead dog in Cincinnati under the new offensive coordinator Bill Laser. But here's the thing you mentioned. It was PPR and DeVante Parker.

They're going over to London. They have the New Orleans Saints they're facing, and as we know, the New Orleans Saints past defense is a problem. I think Jay Cutler goes to the end zone with DeVante Parker this week. I think Parker gets a touchdown and I would like to attack that New Orleans Saints past defense with Mixing. I do think he's still the guy, but there is still Jeremy Hill, there is still Geo Binard. So you know, I think Mixing will be the best back in Cincinnati.

But DeVante Parker, I think gets more opportunity and I like him facing the New Orleans Saints past defense this week. Thanks for the call. Read. In terms of your other team, you know, runout Zeke, run out l Bell. Eventually you'll be just fine. It won't stay like that. You'll get a win soon, hopefully in week four. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle this friend of the show, we got Demetrius and Savannah. Demitrius, you are once again dropping stats

over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you out? Man? It was going on day man, Yeah, I look, I know you got it all wrong yesterday. Man, I'm still walking with you. I did. I did, in fact get it wrong. I appreciate your patients. Like I said, though, man, you know, professional gamblers get it right fifty five to

sixtcent of the time. I didn't think that Aaron Rodgers was gonna have all the short fields that he had, but I thought the Bears would put forth a better effort, and I thought that they would even get some more pressure on Rogers. That ultimately was not the case. But you can't win them all. I appreciate you still riding with me, Demetrius. What can I do for you for Week four? Yeah? Man, I know you spoke big on Charles Clay. I have him and Delaney Walker on my team.

Which one do you like out of the two? I do like Charles Clay. I do like Charles Clay. Listen to de Laney Walker first of all, and we're gonna talk about this later. I don't know if you saw this, Demetrius, but Delaney Walker is getting death threats. Delaney Walker is getting death threats because of his stance that he came out about the national anthem. I'm gonna talk about a

little bit later on. I don't think that necessarily impacts his fantasy day, but I think there's more options in Tennessee than there is in buff Flow and that's the deciding factor for me. Okay, Yeah, Delaney Walker is one of the best past catchers out there. But you know they have Eric Decker, they have Richard Matthews. This is also a team that's gonna want to run the ball against Houston, you know that exotic smash mouth. Buffalo, on the other hand, is gonna have to throw a little

bit to keep up with Atlanta. You know, Atlanta is gonna score points, So Buffalo is gonna be in a position where they're gonna have to throw the ball. And I do think Charles Clay can lead that team in target. So give me Charles Clay over Delaney Walker this week. All right, let's keep it moving. After Demetrius, we got Alex in the LBC. Alex has got a question about quarterbacks and wide receiver. You're dropping stats over beats on

the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on with Alex? Hey? What's um? So? I I have Russell, Wilson and Watson. It's a ten team standard. Who would you start? And yeah, I love Russell Wilson this week. Okay, listen, here's the thing I have a layered answer to for you. Okay, we were just talking about DeShawn Watson um on Line Up Block Live Last hour of my partner Tony Sincada, and we were saying that Deshaun Watson. I don't necessarily love him in that game against Tennessee, but the one thing he

does give you is the rushing production. You know, he may get you forty or fifty yards, so that's interesting. But give me Russell Wilson. I think listen that matchup on Sunday night. They are at home Sunday night, and they're playing that Indianapolis Colts defense, which gives up everything to the past. Remember a couple of weeks ago when they were playing the Cleveland Browns, we were talking about, you know, Rashard Higgins and Kenny Britt and people were

even considering Deshaun Kaiser in fantasy. That is how bad the Indianapolis Colts defense is. The one caveatt I'll say for this one, alex Is. As you probably know, Doug Baldwin, Russ's favorite number one receiver is gonna be a game time decision. It looks like for that game on Sunday night, and it's gonna go all the way to it. If you get the inkling that Doug Baldwin is not playing, then I may go off Russell Wilson. Okay, but I

love Russell Wilson. This this week. I know Russell has had some off games so far this year, but I think that is a tasty matchup against the Indianapolis Cult. So I ride out Russell Wilson if I'm you, Alex, but keep an eye on that Doug Baldwin injury, and thanks for the call up. Next, on the Fantasy Freestyle, we got Jason and Callie. Jason, you're out there on the West Coast. I'm glad that you know. Fantasy Freestyle is banging all the way out west in the Pacific

time zone. You're out there dropping stats over beats. Jason, how can I help you for a week four? Jason going once, Jason going twice? Sold. We keep moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Jason, if you want to make me up on Twitter at Fantasy at spitting speeds, I'll try to help you out, but I couldn't hear you on the connection, So we're gonna keep it moving here. Next up is Dan in Chicago. Dan, you're in Chicago. You're dropping stats over beats. Before I get to you,

a question, I want to ask you. Do the people in Chicago think that it's time for Mitch Traviski. Oh, I don't know what it's time for. Man, it's time for a whole new team. Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough, thank you, thank you. I really appreciate the love and the props. Well, how can I help you for a week? Four? Dan So, I got a quarterback question. I was wondering not just who you would pick, but how much this with factor in it? This is between Mariota and Wentz

in my opponent hands both Jeffrey and Earth's. Interesting question, Um, I like what you're doing over here with your question. Um So, I guess to be honest, the reason you mentioned that your opponent has Earth's and Jeffrey and almost as like, do you think you can kind of cover them up by starting Carson Wentz? Here's the problem I don't know. Listen, Rule number one of fantasy football is

no your settings okay, and a lot of leagues. Receiving touchdowns are a lot more are six points, and passing touchdowns are only four And a lot of leagues, uh, you know you get PPR so white out sometimes outscore the quarterback. Think about it this way. You know your quarterback throws a twenty yard touchdown, you get maybe a point for five yards you get only four points safe

for the touchdown. Potentially that's five points that same play, the receiver could get a point for the reception, two and a half points for the yards, and then six for the touchdown. So in that same play, you know the receiver is actually pulling ahead, all right. So I don't know if I do that checker on a checker. Um that being said, I like Marcus Mariota and that matchup against Houston. That's where I go for you. All right. We got a couple more calls. I see you out there,

Benny and Georgia, Corey and Baltimore. We're gonna get to you guys, all right. And then after that we got my man Chris the analyst. We're gonna give you our DFS line for Week four. We're dropping stats over beats. Right here there a fantasy freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back. Let's have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, but better yet, in the pocket of your capis We'll check it out now you can. It's the

Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. Download it down if you're phone. We promised no weird viruses, no strange tracking things. Just twenty four hours a day, seven days a week of a pure fantasy knowledge dropping all over your head. It's a fantasy sports radio network app stopping a weirdo and streaming it online. Get it on your phone, take it with you every where you go. Yeah, I got you stuck off the realness. We'd be the infamous you heard

of us official Fantasy Murderers. You're dropping stats over beach right here on the Fantasy Freestyle, sho boy Dane Martinez, speed and spitting statistician. I'm joined by my man Chris Venture the analysts. We're gonna get to him in a little bit, but we've also got two calls I don't want to get to out there at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We're up. Next is Benny in Georgia. Hey, Benny, you're dropping stats over beat. It's on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you

for a week? Four? Hey, I just wanted to say that I am a huge fan of the show, love it and I watch it every week. That's awesome, Thank you so much. I really appreciate that, Benny. All Right, So for first of all, I got the running back problem. I do have to Marco Murray. Derrick Henry is almost like getting the same amount of It's real. That's a problem. As got Rob Kelly on my bench. Do you think I should start? No, you go to Marco Murray. Man, You go to Marco Murbray. If he's healthy, you ride

him out there. Okay, you go to Marco Murray. This week as the Titans take on the who did they play? They play the Houston Texans. I like de Marco Murray. Listen, I am down on fat Rob Kelly. Okay, I don't think he's really the guy, and I think it's gonna be down against Kansas City on Monday Night football. Remember, Chris Thompson has really emerged as a PPR stud and I think that Kirk Cousins is a volume thrower. They want Thompson on the field getting those snaps. In that situation,

you definitely go with DeMarco Murray. I feel good about that. But Benny, thanks for the love, Thanks for the props. Tell a friend to tell a friend about the Fantasy Freestyle our last call, because we got Corey out there in Baltimore, the land of Avon Barksdale and Omar and Marlowe Stanfield out there, Corey? How can I help you? For a week four? What's uh? I got a question about running back. I'm hurting now. Yeah, I'm hurting now. Uh got Jacquiz Rodgers, Window Smallwood and Derrick Henry. I

need to start one of them. I got Zeke is my my RB one, all right? I think you're fine with Zeke obviously as your r B one. You know, everybody who listens to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know how I feel about Pop Quiz Jocquiz Rodgers. But I'm telling everybody right now it is time to move off of Jocquiz Rogers. Okay, this week they play the new the New York Giants with Snacks Harrison and that defensive line. I know they haven't done it so far, but they

are pretty stout against the run. So I'm off Jocquiz Rodgers, especially with Doug Martin returning next week after his suspension. I like Whendel Smallwood of those options. Listening, I think when the Smallwood is going to wind up taking a lot of this Darren Sprowls work that was there for the Philadelphia Eagles. All right, now, he that means he's gonna be the passing down back. So if you're in a PPR league, I like that even more. And listen,

le Garrett Blunt did not do much. Remember, they gave him a lot of opportunity and he really defecated the mattress. So I think not only does Wendel Smallwood get some of the PPR kind of work, I think he gets some early down work as well. I think when theell Smallwood has an opportunity to return flexile value at least um for the Philadelphia Eagles as they take on the Chargers. But thanks for the call, Corey out there in Baltimore.

We're gonna chill with phone lines for right now because we got my man, Chris Venture, the analyst in town. We're talking d f S lineups for a week for a Chris, how the lineup you give us last week? Do my line up last week? Actually did all? Right? Cash? That's all right. You know you can't go broke making a profit, right, you know? We climb it up the hill. That's what we do. If you do that, every week of the NFL season will be all all right. Let's

before Okay, we're gonna start position by position. I'm gonna give you my quarterback first, Okay, Chris, I'm going with and I know this is gonna sound crazy because I've been having a narrative about how bad this offense is. I'm going with Eli Manning. I'm taking Eli Manning at seven thousand on fan duel. And here's why. I still think that their offensive line is trash. I still think that they can't protect Eli. But here's the other thing

that's happened. They have abandoned the run game, Paul Perkins not doing it, Orleans dark Wall not doing it. I've been telling you Shane Vereen is the only back, but that's in the passing game with Eli Manning, and this Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary is banged up. They got McCoy banged up as well on the defensive line. I think

Eli turned into a volume thrower. I expect Eli to throw the ball over forty times this week and with that production, with that opportunity, I think Eli gets over three hundred yards and I think he throws a couple of touchdowns to my man, Odell Beckham. We're gonna talk about a little bit later on. So give me Eli Manning and I'm only spending seven thousand dollars from my quarterback position. Who you got a quarterback? I like that. That's cheaper than my option. I got Jared Goff. Oh,

I've been talking about golf. Listen, Goff has been doing great things and that McVey offense a lot of weapons out there. Go ahead, tell me about God because also the Cowboys their secondary. All right, so what do you like about golf? Yeah, so he's trending up. Last week he went off, he started implemented Sammy Watkins. It looks like they're starting to get a connection. Watkins is clear to go Walkins out of the cold, dark quiet room and the concussion protocol. His sensitivity to light is not

a problem. He'll be out there on Sunday. He'll be out there, and you know, with this horrible Dallas secondary, I know, girl, he's gonna get involved in the game plan. But I think mc they may switch it up, throw him a curve bowl, and I think golf might throw with some volume this week, hit up Walkings, even Cooper Cup a little bit involved. And uh, you know what, the Rams defense gave up what thirty nine points against sport Naries last week, So that was all right. I

see that Jared Goff is christ Chris's uh quarterback. I'm going with Eli Manning. Let's look at the running back position real quick. I'm going right now. I got two guys. I'm not spending up this week at the running back position. Okay, I think I can reasonably approximate the same value with these two guys. I'm going with Dalvin Cook at seventy hundred. Dalvin Cook has been a stud. He's been a three down back. I don't care if it's Sam Bradford. I don't care if it's case Keenum. I don't care if

it's Teddy Bridgewater. I don't care if it's fran Tarkenton. Dalvin Cook has been a stud running back. They're gonna rely on him and this Detroit Lions defense. Yeah, listen, people are saying, oh, Darius Slay, but that's in the back. I'm not concerned about their run defense. I like Dalvin Cook at hundred. My second and back, Chris, I'm going with Joe Mixon. Sir, mix a lot. As one of the listeners said at fifty six hundred, I think the switch to Bill Laser as the offensive coordinator. He knows

where his bread is buttered. It's targets to a j Green, and it's scheming ways to get Joe mixing the ball. You saw them do that with a little inside zone and from the shotgun. Last week you saw them swinging the ball to him in the passing game. I think Mixing gets in the end zone this week at Cleveland. Give me Dalvin Cook at hundred and Joe Mixon at fifty six hundred. Who you got his running backs this week? I love that I got Dalvin Cook till yes, I do.

I love Dalvin Cook. I love him from the beginning shore. The guy's a beast. I wouldn't even sell high on him. If anybody you keep him, do not you keep him? Who else you got who's just like one? My second one? I like that fifty hundred Joe Mixing. But I'm going a little bit safe for here and paying up for the Jets. I think. I know the Jets can sometimes stopped out of the the run and things like that, but some teams have ran all over him. I think, girl,

he ran all over him. I'm pretty sure this game is gonna be one of those blowouts where Jacksonville's d just straight up, you know, dominated So you think that the game flow is going to be that Jacksonville has a lead and then they are able to turn the ball over and give it to Leonard four Nette, keep it out of Blake Bordles hand, keep it out of his hands, and then four Nett gets a couple of touch Johns out of the deal. Alright, fair enough, fair enough.

As a Jets fan, I don't know if I like it, But as a Jets fan that wants them to go one in fifteen and get the first overall draft pick, I'd be okay with it. At the wide receiver position. Hey, Chris, I told you I'm going Eli Manning, so I'm definitely stacking him with my man, Olddell Beckham Jr. At nine hundred on fandwel. My thing is, I think he's gonna get into the end zone because I think he wants

to do a more respectful touchdown celebration. You know, the owner Mara was saying that he was very unhappy with that. If you got Lie Manning, you gotta stack him with Oldell Beckham, same narrative against the Tampa Bay pass defense. I like Old Dell Beckham. I'll pay up for him. At nine hundred my two other wide receivers though, Chris and going Larry Fitzgerald at seventies six hundred. Listen, Larry Fitzgerald is the number one option out there. You saw

it on Monday Night Football. When Carson Palmer needs it, he goes there. This is a Nether team like the Giants, that can't run the ball because of a bad offensive line and no dynamic playmakers. With the loss of David Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald is the only guy out there. I don't care about J. J. Nelson, I don't care about Geron Brown. I like Larry Fitzgerald that value at sixty seven my

third wide receiver. I am taking the chance. I am assuming that Doug Baldwin does not play on Sunday Night, or if he does, he's a little bit of a decoy. I'm going down to d and Tyler Lockett. I'm trying to attack this Indianapolis Colts past defense. I think they're dumpster fire, blunt guts trashed. So give me Tylerer Lockett to be the new number one. With Russell Wilson, Odell Beckham,

Tyler Lockett, Larry Fitzgerald, who you got. I like that flyer play um, I actually got O D B two, oh, B J whatever you want to call um, because, like you said, banged up secondary. I agree, high volume. They can't run the bull Giants. Then Sammy ped with Sammy Watkins go stacking it up there, okay, And I like that he's trending up and you know he's been involved in the game playing more. And then my big time boom bus flyer again, I'm going with Martavius Brian, who

I went with two weeks ago. I think, listen to this real quick stat he has just as many targets so far in three games as Crowder and Brandon Cook, and more than Hogan and Michael Crabtree. Okay, so you think he's gonna get some opportunity, and opportunity he's king. Remember a lot of people are gonna be worried about Antonio Brown, Levy on Bell, Martavis Bryan and someone who could take it to the house. And that's what you're hoping for for that big time play. We don't have

too much time. We only got a couple of minutes left, Chris. But who's your tight end this week? Ingram Nice that's my that's my same narrative. Eli Manning is gonna throw, throw, throw. I like that. Tell me more about Elvin Ingram, But what kind of price are you getting mad He's gotta be cheap. Oh yeah, I got cheap tight end. And yeah, I know, maybe I should have went with Eli because I got two giants in there. But I like the golf narrative a little bit. I think you might do better,

but Ingram Eli, Eli loves his tight ends. Eli throws to his tightens, and he be consistent, pretty consistent for cheap tight end. I think that's a good play. And you think he gets in the end zone against this week secondary, all right? If he gets in the end zone, then you're definitely returning value. I'm going all the way up to Rob Gronkowski. I think Brady has been a beast and I have enough money, so I'm gonna pay for it. Gronk against the Carolina Panthers, real quick, Chris,

give me your defense for this week the Jags. Absolutely, I'm doing the same exact thing. I think Saxonville, as they have been learned, is going to put that pressure on Josh McCown. It makes sense. You're also got the four net pick in there. Okay, So you're picking the same kind of thing. You think a lot of pressure in Jacksonville, and then you think, you know, maybe some short fields, maybe they're up big, and some of that could be because of the defense sacking and turning the

jets over. That makes sense. I like that. Thanks a lot. I'm gonna come on back next Friday. Yeah. Absolutely, of course. It's your boy. It's your boy, Chris the venture analyst out here. Um. When we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, Okay, I'm gonna tell you a little bit of, uh, you know, some more reaction to some of these anthem protests. I told you about Delaney Walker getting death threats, families losing jobs, and also there's a Sports Illustrated cover that came out,

but someone's noticeably absent from that cover. We're gonna get into who it is and what Steph Curry thinks about it when we come back. Were dropping stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle, Yo, Bovona dropping the bangagers right there, Greig Mack bringing the flavor in your ear. We're dropping stats over beats. It's a fantasy freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Fantasy Freestyle. The

Green Bay Packers. They put in war, but it may be a situation where they're winning the battle but losing the war. Time Montgomery looks like has broken ribs. Then next man up was my guy Jamal Williams thinking he could be a back that ascended throughout the year. He's got a spray knee after like three carries, and then it becomes Aaron Jones. That's the next man up. And listen, we're definitely gonna be talking about these Packers running backs

on the Waiver Wire week days from seven to a pm. E. Stern on the Phantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. My man Chris po boned am animal dropping a little bone flubs and harmade. That's the cross Worlds. As we go into the weekend, you know, we're gonna pour a little bit out for anybody feeling in you know, anybody that has anybody that they love that just went to

the crossroads. You know, speeds and spitting statistician will pour a little bit out for you this weekend as we go into Week four of the NFL season. The other thing I gotta tell you is. You can go on over the www. Dot Fantasy Factor dot com. What they're doing is great. Okay, you've got DFS tournaments that you can get in there, right. But here's the thing. They

do exclusively single entry tournaments. And I really like that because sometimes when you're on these big sites, the Draft Kings, the Fan Duel, you're in a big time tournament and you're competing against people that have twenty fifty HU lineups in there, you know, And that's what they're doing. They're like covering all bases. Not at Fantasy Factor. Okay, single

entry tournament. You can take my man, Chris's lineup. You could take my lineup, tinker with it, a little bit, because don't put mine in there, okay, because then I'm gonna tipe I with you, and then what are we gonna do. We're gonna have to split the money. I don't know how I feel about that. Okay, tinker with it. Trying to do better than your boys. Speeds the spitting statistician, we gotta pull question up right now on Twitter talking about which of the home dogs you think have the

best chance to win outright this week? The options are and these guys are all field goal or less underdogs. And remember when you think about that three point home field advantage, it gets very very interesting. You like the Texans at home getting points against Tennessee, the Jets at home getting points against Jacksonville. All of a sudden, people think only eight percent of the people are taking this. All of a sudden, people think that Blake Bortles can

be a road favorite. We'll see about that. Uh Is the Browns out there in hosting since or is the Ravens hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in a divisional rival game. I like what people are saying are taking the Baltimore Ravens and Clayton Trey hand out there on Twitter says, unless Green gets twenty plus targets, the Browns can win this and Andy Dalton will once again ruin the Sunday of sports rage. That's my main game. Morancy shots fired.

I know my man Gabe is listening because he's coming up next on Red, Heat and Rage right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I gotta tell you also that uh I mentioned Delaney Walker. You know, Delaney Walker and his family is now getting death threats because of his anthem protest. And he said that if his fans, if Titans fans you know, kind of don't want to see that, that that they should not come to the game. Well,

now him and his family are getting death threats. Detroit's Lions defensive stud Akeem Spence says his father lost the contract because the Keem Spence kneeled difin for the anthem. Okay, um, this is getting real. There's a lot of a lot of feelings about this, okay, And I don't know, I'm gonna tell you real quick. My feelings are that this quote unquote protest or movement has kind of been co opted,

It's kind of been sanitized. I think it's kind of been convoluted right now, you know, because the same the same people that were not wanting to really you know, just stick to sports and not you know, shake the trees here. Now all of a sudden, everybody's linking arms and it's a big, like cool thing to do now.

And I wonder, is this is really about what it used to be about when Colin Kaepernick started about you know, kind of issues around police brutality in different communities, or is it now just like people responding to the commander and tweets forty five, you know, going after the NFL and now everybody has a brotherhood, you know, has to kind of respond. I kind of think it's gotten a

little bit too sanitized. I think that these protests are gonna start going the way of Pokemon go and fidget spinners. I think their lifespan is a little bit over. And to be honest, there's a cover of Sports Illustrated right now. You've got people locking arms, everyone from Roger Goodell to Steph Curry to Shed Khan, the owner of the Jaguars. You know who's absent from that cover Colin Kaepernick. There's no Colin Kaepernick on that cover all. To my point, like,

what is this really about anymore? I think it's been a little bit too diluted with this normal sanitized messages around unity. We'll see, we'll keep it at football. Check for me on Sunday morning Line o'clock Live from nine am to kickoff. It's gonna be me Emery Hunt, Corey Parson, and Maria Marino. We're gonna have Tony Sencada, Jake Celia as well. We gotta London game. Get up early to

set your lineup because the Saints and Dolphins. Get it on Brighton early at nine thirty Eastern time, and I'll be back on Monday to break it all down and tell you what's really good. Going into Week five of the NFL season, we're dropping stats over beats. I'll see you on the Fantasy Freestyle Peace,
