You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned in to the speeds and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
It's your point, Dane Martinez, a K A speeds a K spitting statistician, and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As always, I want to give a big shout out to y'all listening on I Heart Radio on tune In Radio, if you're watching on the YouTube live stream on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It is a football Friday, and I am ready to cruise on into Week five of the Fantasy football season. We got a
lot to get to on this episode. As usual, I got my man, Chris Bavona man with me on the ones to two and keeping it's so hot that we sweat steam. You already know. The number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We're gonna open the phone lines a little bit later on. I'm gonna be here to help you win your leagues and win that cash. As always, we gotta pull question up right now. On Fridays, we usually talk about the home Dogs, right, and I always say how much I
love the home Dogs. Remember, first of all, we're gonna get to Tampa Bay and New England the home Dogs. Remember how I said that the line started at five and a half and the line then moved down to four. Boy, do they know some things in the desert, because that's right where the margin of victory was for the New England Patriots as they win nineteen to fourteen. So I hope you got that line early like your boy speeds did uh when you wanted if you wanted the bucks, Remember,
everything pointed that way. But I also said weird things happened in Tampa. And the weird thing was Nicki Folk missing not one, not too but I think three field goals. Um, they played well enough to win Tampa. This was supposed to be their hometime prime time game coronation of that they have arrived. They played good enough to win, colding New England to only nineteen points, but they still ultimately did not get the job done, and I was certainly.
You know all these people that we talked about throughout the week. You know, we were talking about Mike Gillesle. The question was would he get his touchdown or not? I told you he'd run for forty fift yards. The question was would he get his touchdown or not? He didn't. There was like a drive at the end of the first half when they were giving him goal line work and I was like, Uh, this could be it, but he didn't did. We were talking about would DeShawn Jackson
get his big play. He did at the very end, had like a fifty sixty yard catch that made his day look better. We were talking about making America braid again. Did he get his touchdown? He did, That's what made his day look good. And of course Jamis Winston also got himself his three hundred yards against the New England Patriots. But it ultimately comes down to the fact that Nicki Folk is no longer the folk hero for the folks
down in Tampa. Okay. What I'll also talk about in this game is there is someone who debuted yesterday for the Bucks and he looked good. In my opinion, he looks like a viable RB two. Moving forward, you probably know who I'm talking about. We're gonna teach you all how to doug you When we get back, we're gonna go into the poll about which home dogs do I think have the best chance, But there aren't really many
that many home dogs this week. There is a couple of pickums on the board that we want to talk about, and a couple of games where the line has been pulled because of injuries or new quarterbacks and stuff. So we're gonna get into those. Then we're gonna get into your calls. We're also gonna talk DFS for week five. My boy, the analyst Chris Venture a little bit later on. You know what it is. We're dropping stats over beats.
It's the Fantasy Freestyle, which your boys beat has beenting statistician right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's go. Hey, I'm Melissa and I'm Joe, and where the interns. The Fantasy Sports Radio Network and d k MS want to send you to Minnesota this February. All you have to do is play our Big Game tributa challenge sponsored by d k MS starting next week. Answer four questions right, and you're heading to The Big Game.
Tune in to find out when the contest will be journing. So what are you waiting for? Play the Big Game tributa challenge sponsored by d KMS only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hey, i'l Puerto Rico. You know what it is? This a big dead in the middle of little literally little then we know every ddle to Meado Mandataly. You know what it is? It speeds. It's betten statistician right here up in stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle.
And part of the reason I'm amped right now is because Greg Bird just hit a bomb and the Yankees extend their lead to eight three over the Cleveland Indians in Game two of the American League Division Series. The Yankees will not go quietly into the night like you may have thought after getting shut out in Game one and with Corey Kluber on the mound, it matters not to the Bronx Bombers, as Greg Bird goes yard, giving
them a big time cushion that game. In the top of the fifth, Yankees up eight three against the wind Ian's. You know what it is here on the Fantasy Freestyle. One of the things that I've gotta do is I gotta tell you about these practice reports because this is the day when you really want to see people at least get back into action. Okay, So first of all, um, what we have here people removed from the injury report. These guys, it looks like, are good to go. I'm
talking Michael Crabtree with that chest injury. The only thing is remember he's got ej. Manuel throwing to him and a good defense coming to town. In the Baltimore Ravens, Carlos Hide is okay coming off the injury report. That hip issue doesn't seem to be that bad. I think that's a great play, by the way, this week because they face the Indianapolis Colts. Carlos Hide makes up a significant share of the production for that team, so it's good that he's off the injury report. You can start
him with confidence. Jay A g I E as well looks ready to go with that knee injury. Better be because the Dolphins offense has not been doing much. Odell Beckham also removed from the injury report. If you listen to the Fantasy freestyle, you know I am so down on the drama queen that is Odell Beckham are again, Are you hurt or are you injured. If you're hurt,
then grit and grind through it. If you're injured, stop the drama and just don't don't hurt your team anymore and just sit on the sideline with the kicking net your home girl. Okay, all these guys were practicing. Jerick McKinnon was practicing. He's gonna share the backfield in Minnesota now that Dalvin Cook is gone. He's gonna share the
backfield with Latavius Murray. But I believe it is McKinnon that is the preferred option because he's gonna be the guy in that passing game, regardless of whose quarterbacking for the Vikings on Monday Night. Speaking of which Sam Bradford is practicing, says he feels much better. We may in fact see Sam Bradford under center when it comes to Monday night football Bears and Vikings. And remember the debut
of Mitchell Trabinsky. Let's also talk about these are the guys that I think are gonna be legitimate questionables, and a lot of them are on Green Bay. Davante Adams still in the protocol. Doesn't look like he's gonna go legitimate game time decision. But the key one here is time Montgomery. Time Montgomery got in limited work. He's gonna be questionable for that big time game against Dallas. And
you probably want pieces of this Packers offense. That's this game has one of the highest totals on the board and may in fact have the highest total on the board now that Thursday Night Football is done, and so trying to get a read on this Packer situation is very important. I think Adams is gonna be out. Time Montgomery is a legitimate question mark. Remember a lot of people were talking about Aaron Jones all week. I maintain that Aaron Jones was not worth your waiver of priority
or your fat budget. And the reason why it's because it looked like Jamal Williams is gonna be good to go. He's the guy who was the number two back on that depth chart going into last week when the infirmary report continued for the Green Bay Packers. Let's talk about Thursday Night football. I told you you know, Cameron brad did get his touchdown, Mike Gillisley did not. DeShawn Jackson did get his big play, salvaging that debt game at
the very end for your fantasy owners. There, people like Danny Am and Dola slid right into that Julian Edelman role. He looked good. I believe it was eight catches for seventy seven yards. And and Chris Hogan is a real thing. Okay, Cook's Hogan and Amandola they were able to piece it together along with James White in the wake of no Rob Gronkowski. But the guy I want to talk about real quick is Doug Martin. Doug Martin looked good. Teach me how to Dougie. Teach me, teach me how to Dougie.
I believe if you drafted him in season long leagues and you were waiting for him because of the suspension, oh, you are really happy about what you did. I believe he is an RB to two the West the rest of the way forward. Okay, I believe. I know. He's one of the best nicknames out here. So everybody on Fantasy Freestyle that watches or listens, I think it's time. It's the end of pop Quiz joc Quiz Rodgers and his uh you know, startability or maybe even roster ability
on fantasy football teams. As long as Doug Martin is healthy. The muscle Hamster is gonna be an RB two moving forward. He looked good, He looked electrics. He looked like a great part of this Tampa Bay offense moving forward, someone they could really use as Jamis continues his development. You know what we do also here on Fridays, on Friday's here on the Fantasy Freestyle. What we do is we talk about the home Dogs. I gotta pull question up there right now. On Twitter, you can always follow me
at spitting speed. You could ask me questions. I always try to get back to people, and I know people are hollering at me on Twitter a lot, especially as it came is on Friday and over the weekend and on Sunday morning. Here's the thing. On Sunday morning, we are right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network on the YouTube stream, okay, and I'm doing Lineup Block live from nine am Eastern all the way up to kickoff.
Me Maria Marino, Emery Hunt, the Fantasy Executive, Corey Parson, we got my man, the all in Kid, Jake Seely, we got DFS Whizz Tony Sencada. So the thing is, it's hard for me to hold this show. And respond to you on Twitter. What you could always do is holl at your boy at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, I got you, okay, or hit me up on Twitter earlier on in the week
if you like what you're doing. Also, if you like what you're hearing at a speeds and spitting statistician, hit like on the YouTube stream, subscribe on iTunes, right your boy a positive review. It helps out. But here are the home dogs. We only got a couple. We got Houston only getting a point at at home against Kansas City. That's a big time match up on Sunday night football.
I actually think that the Kansas City Chiefs are gonna disguise things a little bit better than New England did with that what was the thirty second ranked past defense in the league. I think Deshaun Watson is gonna get a little confused, Okay. I think they get some pressure on him. Also, remember teams like the Patriots did not have actual just you know, hardcore edge rushers. Now against Kansas City, we're talking about justin Houston, we're talking about
de Ford, some other guys that could get pressure. I think the defensive coaches in Kansas City can scheme some things up. Also, I think they confused Deshaun Watson more than he has. And when you have a rookie quarterback, right, one of the things that happens is the league gets taped on you in the league makes adjustments. That is something that I expect the league to do over the next couple of weeks. The question is ken Deshaun Watson
adjust back. I would temper my expectations a little bit. Hey, Bovona, I don't know if we have the drop, but I would go so far as to say that this week, for Week five, when you look a little bit closer in Deshaun Watson, we call him a full gazzy, someone that you need to forget up out for Week five. In line up five, we do our diamonds in the rough and our fool gazes. I'm gonna tell you right now, one of my fool gazes is gonna be DeShawn Watson.
I like the Kansas City Chiefs and what they are doing on offense a little bit better than the Houston Texans and what they are doing on offense. So DeShawn Watson is a Week five fool Gazey forgot about it. Means phony. I don't think he's gonna be a phony for like the long term, but as the league starts to adjust to him, as they start to scheme different things, and instead of playing vanilla just straight up like kind of the Patriots do, I think, Listen, they're not putting
up another fifty points. I think this is a different test for them. On Sunday Night Football. There's also a couple of pick thems this week in Week five for home teams. The Rams or pick them at home against Seattle, and the Browns are pick them at home against the Jets. Let's first talk about the Browns and the Jets. Listen with team was like, you know, with these teams like the Jets and the Browns and the Bears and the Colts and the Jaguars, even being at home versus being
on the road is so important. Okay, and the Browns are different team at home. Remember they've been feisty at home so far, not so much on the road. The same thing with the Jets. When they were at home, they beat the Jags, they beat the Dolphins and two teams that had tough spots on the road to go to the Jets. But the Jets. Remember at Buffalo and at Oakland did not look competitive. Okay, so I actually think the Cleveland Browns have a shot here to get
a win, their first win of the season. I think the Jets will look a lot different than in the last couple of weeks. I think that the Browns are onto something with Duke Johnson over Isaiah oh Well. I don't think this is gonna be a pretty game. I think it's gonna be an ugly game. But in this pickup matchup, give me the Browns at home. Also give me the Rams at home. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that I have been early with it on the Los Angeles Rams. I believe in what
McVeigh is doing with Jared Goff. I believe in the options on this Rams offense. They're having thirty five and a half points a game, number one in the NFL. I believe the options for Goff on the outside has helped his development. But the option inside with Cooper Cup on the slot and Todd Gurley out of the backfield, gives the Sattle defense more than just the legion of Boom can handle on the outside. I think this is another Cooper Cup game. I think this is another Todd
Gurley game. Todd Gurley is locked and loaded as a number one elite top five stud because of his work in the passing game. I like the Rams at home to get a little bit of a stranglehold, albeit early on Cella in October on the NFC West. So I like not the Houston Texans as a home dog. I think Casey goes in there and confusues DeShawn Watson. But I like the Rams at home against the Vision rival Seattle.
They've always had their number. And I like the Browns at home and to pick a match up against the Jets that Jets are not gonna go on the road. We got a little bit more big pun. My man Chris Bavona told me there would be a theme. It could be the botriqua from the Bronx Big pun, just like your boys spitting speeds, the spitting statistician. That's how we do it on a Friday, dropping stats over beats.
On the Fantasy Freestyle, we opened up the phone line to talk to your boy eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, Come on right back for Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go on. Let me tell you something you look excited Hunter Henry Stirring 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 e year two, things are only getting better. Make sure it lists live and deell O the app f and
t s y Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven. The best Fantasy Sportsmen. He's on the Fantasy's Words Radio Network, Domina guyslin you know. And as you're dropping stats over bat here on the Fantasy Freestyle which boys speeds and spitting Statustici, the phone lines are broken at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. I see them starting to light up. We're gonna get to your calls in a hot second. And we also, as I told, help you, we got this pole question up on Twitter.
Always give me a follow at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. Tell a friend to tell a friend, whether it's you know, giving me a review on iTunes, whether it's you know, like subscribing on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, downloading the app. We love the support. I really appreciated the pole question up right now is which home dog do you like to win? Out right in NFL Week five, are options like I described in the last segment, or the Houston
Tucks Texans. They're getting a point hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. Is it the Rams hosting something the Seattle Seahawks at pick them? Or is it the Cleveland Browns hosting the New York Jets. We got a really close pole right now. Thirty seven percent of you take the Rams, think that the Rams may have the Seahawks number and think that there could be a changing of the guard in the NFC West. I also got my man Derek Vuljanov out there on Twitter at Big Vas saying I can never
get through on the phone with Dane. What's up with that? Well, the number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, And it looks like we got room right now. It looks like I can help out some people. This is my favorite part of the show. We opened up the phone lines and people dropping stats over beats, trying to help y'all out there. I appreciate it. Let's go, we got it right now. It is John and Carlisle. John, you're dropping stats over beats with the
splitting statistician. Not gonna help you for week five? What's chilling? Hey? Questions for you right now? With that a trolling him getting sacked. Yeah, he has been getting some more pressure than usual. Move him while the numbers are high and before you get hurt. I'm looking at moving Brady Beckham and uh fixing first Sady McCoy, Uh, Derek Carton staff on my bench, and then Randall cop No. I think that's crazy, John, I think that's crazy talk. John. I'm sorry,
but thanks for the call. You do not move Tom Brady, who's like an absolute stud, gonna get over three hundred yards. I understand that there's a little bit more pressure on him than there has been in years past, but you can't go away from that offense. You know that offense is gonna be there, and Olddell Beckham for guys like McCoy, who I'm not too high on that Bill's offense. And you talk about Randall Cobb. I don't think he can hold a candle to what O dB is doing. I'm sorry, John,
I do not make that deal. Be happy you've got Tom Brady and Odell Beckham. We keep moving on the Fantasy Freestyle. Next up, it's q Q. You're in South Carolina dropping stats over beats, and it sounds like we've got some reggae throne beats today as a reggae throne Friday on the Fantasy Freestyle que. What's going on? Out to help him? Man? Hey Man, I gotta I gotta issue with I want to get some feedback on it.
What do you think about Gilliam? I gotta put him in my flex because I got tired myomy and he talking about Wayne. Are you talking about Gallman on the Giants? Yeah, yeah, that's you. I gotta start hire Man. I heard some good fat bed. He gonna take the show because Perkins has heard or something. Perkins is. Perkins is not a guy that excites me in New York. I mean Gallman, I hope you have other options. I'm not that high on garment. Okay, I don't invest in this running back
situation with the Giants. Okay, Paul Perkins hasn't been able to do it, or Leans dark Wall hasn't been able to do it, and neither really has gone And he looked decent, but behind that offensive line, I don't like that. Q. You got other options to put in there? No man, A wave of while I'm gonna team Standard, and I mean, it's like a ghost on in there, man, and I'm gonna have to take another look, but it's all I
can see. Do me, do me a favorite, hit me up on Twitter, Okay, tell me who's out there, show me a picture, and I think there's probably options out there better than Gaalman, to be quite honest, um, you know, and hopefully you mentioned you had time Montgomery. Maybe we get decent news on Tie and if he starts, if for Green Bay, then you need to put him in your line up. But hit me up on Twitter. I
hope there's better options than goalman. You said there's only it's a ten team league, so I hope you got some better options. Hit me up on Twitter at spitting Speeds. I mean, I hope you can go elsewhere then Wayne Gallman. I don't expect him to really do anything big, but if you gotta go with him, he might be the back in New York. But I'm just not buying it behind that offensive line up. Next, on the Fantasy Freestyle, we got Riley and Arizona. Riley and arizonso you got
a flex question for week five as well. Let me try to help you out here going into week five, get a w win your leagues and win that cash. Hey, what's going on? Man? How are you doing? Trying to help out? Not too bad? Thanks for taking my call, man. I I used stacked Evans and this week and that kind of screed me ended up in like sixteen points between the two of them. Also have t Y Hilton and Pierre Garzon stacked in my my two bottom positions. It's like two flex positions. So I have Frank Gore
and I have Ottavius Murray. I was wondering maybe if I should not risk stacking Pierre Garzon and t Y Hilton against each other, right, and maybe putting in Gore or Latavius Murray for one of them. What I would do, I understand your concerned about that San France Indie game, and I wouldn't invest too heavily in the colts, okay, But with the way I would do it, and thanks for the call, is that what I would do, Riley
is I would be okay with the wide receivers. I would keep the wide receivers in there, but I would go away from Gore and I'd put Latin Murray in there. Latin Murray is as touchdown dependent as they come, but I think you've got a better option there of him scoring a touchdown on Monday Night against the Bears. That's the way I would go if if you are concerned about having too many cults, are too many players from that Niners Colts game, which I understand, But thanks for
the call, Riley. We're going back out and out to step in Massachusetts. Hey, Steve, friend of the show Man, how can we help out for week five? What's going on up there in uh in m A. It's not looking too good? Uh Red Sox and down to oh Man, Red Sox al right down to if you listen to Fantasy freestyle, you know my leading, so I can't speak much on that, but yeah, Dallas KAO doing big things to get you guys today. Oh yeah, and you got
two day yesterday man hitting three home runs. Well, hopefully you could rebound with a win in week five and fantasy and help raise your spirits. How can I help with that? I actually have a couple of questions. Um, First, should you didn't give me good to trust Jovian nick soon this week because he had he's having some pretty bad weeks, and I also picked up because the opponent
on facing he has uh Davante Adams. It sounds like he doesn't he's not playing, So I picked up Geronimo Allison on him, and I was thinking, maybe I can play Geronimo Allison in for uh, maybe Calvin Benjament because of the matchup, or Joel Mixon. And I also wanted to ask you real quick, Uh Rob Kelly, Uh, he got dropped by an owner. He actually picked up Goldman that uh like I remember he told the call like not to pick that guy up Golan. But Rob Kelly
is out there. I was just wondering if I should give him a look, and maybe I could drop somebody like Latbius Murray or something, or you could give like I just wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks for the call, Steve. I really appreciate it. Threw a lot out there. I'm gonna try and answer as much as I can. Okay, you can give Rob Kelly a look, but listen, when you're at this part of your roster, the Rob Kelly's, the Wayne Gallman's, these are guys you actually hope are
never pressed into action for your squad. So I'm kind of indifferent on these guys, I think they're all in the same tier. If Goalman seizes the job in New York, you've got a little bit more of a shot with Gallman there. I don't think that's gonna happen. And again, I am not investing in the New York Giants running back situation on that. With that offensive line, I think Eli Manning is gonna throw the ball forty five fifty times. Moving forward, you asked about Joe Mixon, who is very
you know, mix on x off um. As someone said to me on Twitter, the thing is they're facing Buffalo, and Buffalo has looked really good. I do think they are trying to get Joe Mixing the ball though, Okay, with some of the other options you talked about, these are guys that are in time shares and committees. At least with Mixing, it looks like he's gotten the ball fifteen twenty times the last couple of weeks. He hasn't done much with it, but the skill is still there.
If you're going down to guys like Rob Kelly or Gallman, then yes, I keep mixing in the lineup because the opportunity and the touches will still be there. I do think he's gonna get the ball fifteen twenty times? So I'm okay with that. We go to Armando, Armando and San Diego. You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you? Got a question about a Seattle seahawk running back? Hey, what's up? Dan? How are you doing? Man? I appreciate you taking my call anytime? Bando,
what's up? Thomas Rawls? Huh So I got yeah, Man, I got a point ppr old Man League. So it's pretty deep and um scratching at two and two. Right now, I have Marking, DeVante Freeman, and Sevin Coleman all on buys this week, so I have to start. And I'm looking at Aaron Jones or Thomas Rawls or maybe possibly making a trade treating a crab tree for Marshawn Lynch. Now I don't do that, Armando, don't do that. Armando,
Keep crab Tree, Keep Crabtree. And because it's these guys that are on the by the the Ingrams, the Freeman's of the world, this is only a one week situation. You are lucky in this one week's situation. In my opinion, I have Thomas Rawls. I think Thomas Rawls is actually gonna be serviceable this week because there's no Carson okay, and they don't believe in Eddie Lacey. I think Thomas Rawls is actually the lead back. I know it's not pretty, but don't go ahead and make a trade or anything
like that. And I like Rawls far better this week than Aaron Jones on Green Bay because it is a one week situation. I think Thomas Rawls is actually okay for you this week. I think he's gonna be the guy who gets the most opportunity with Seattle. I think he could be a sneaky diamond in the rough Armando. We got that time for one or two more calls. We got Kyle out there in Hustaton. We're up against it.
You got a trade question? Uh, fire it at me, yes, sir. So, I just made a trade and landed uh Mike Evans and uh Drew Brees for Michael Thomas and Delaney Walker. Love it, absolutely love it, absolutely love It's Kyle Evans is better than Thomas and Drew Brees is a weekend week out stud um, So I absolutely love that trade. I'm not too high on Delaney Walker. Especially if Marcus Mariota is injured. So I love that trade, Kyle. We got time for one more Kobe and Texas real quick.
We're up against the break. Uh, holler at me. You got a question about some running backs going Monday night? Hit me up. Yeah, man, I'm kinda I was one of the ones that suffered with cooking. Yep, and uh, I mean I got a good flex and Doug Baldwin I started, I got digs at wide receiver. One Hogan dominated at wide receiver too. I'm gonna rug Baldwin, Dug, so that looks good. What's your question? All right? Yeah, man,
I need Ray. I'm gonna go with Tariko And Okay, I think Mitch Drabinsky on Monday Night is gonna move the pocket a little bit more, and I think he's gonna be able to keep some plays alive. I would rather the big play potential of Tarik Cohen over Latin Murray, who I think is just a guy. And I think Jerick McKinnon is gonna actually outdo him in Minnesota for the Vikings on Monday night. Okay, when we come back, we're gonna get my DFS lineup. We're gonna be joined
by my man Chris venture the analyst as well. We got time for one more call though. When we come back, I see you, Daniel and CALLI okay he dropped, All right, there's no problem. We're gonna go DFS with my man, the analyst, Chris Ventra, and it's your boys speeds, spitting statistician. I got a lot of guys in one game. We're gonna talk about it when we come back, dropping status over beat. It's the Fantasy Freestyle DFS. We five lineups
with some boys speeds. Come on right back. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand yet the pocket of your capis. We'll check it out now you can. It's a Fantasy Sports Radium Network app. Download it down to your phone. We promised, no weird viruses, no strange tracking things, just twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, of pure fantasy knowledge dropping all over your head.

Get it on your phone, take it with you every where you go. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio network is your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds has been statistation. We're holding you down football Friday, getting ready for Week five of the NFL season. We're gonna start talking DFS real quick, right now here. And we got my man, Chris Venture. He helps us out downstairs in the production truck over there. He's got
his own podcast, The Analyst. It's your boy, Hey, Chris, how you doing, feeling good? Feeling good? For Week five? What's up? How you doing? I'm good. Yeah, I'm feeling good. I'm doing good, especially after the bomb Greg Bird hit off of Clueber as the Yankees look to take the lead and take Game two and even up that series. Al Chriz, Oh, I'm watching it right now. Is great where you gave up six months that pulled him in
the thirty at We like that. We like that well, we also like well, it's not a win just yet. Let's slow down and pump the brakes right there. You know, anything can happen in the game of baseball. But let's look at DFS, where also anything can happen, including we can get some people some cash. Right here, let's talk about our lineups. What I want to do is first
talk about my quarterback. And I'm going all the way up to the top of the price chart, Chris, because in a in a week where we got buys and there's no Drew Brees, there's no Matt Ryan. Tom Brady has already played on Thursday night. I look at what matchup has the highest total on the board, and it's
that green Bay Dallas game in the mid fifties. I look at the way Aaron Rodgers puts the ball up, I look at the concerns around the running back position in Green Bay these days, and I think Aaron Rodgers is gonna be very productive. So I am paying up all the way on fan duel at least that Aaron Rodgers is my quarterback. What say you, Chris, I was gonna stay for the same exact thing. No Matt Ryan, no Drew Brees, no Kirk Cousins, nobody good really in
this slate. I mean, I feel like he's by far the best one, and I paid for him, all right, So we're on the same page, and I will say this. I was also, Chris, this might make you feel good. We were on lineup Block Live. Tony Sencato also has Aaron Rodgers and the people's lineup also has Aaron Rodgers. A lot of people seem to be paying for the stability and the chalk this week Week five, remember guys on buys as well. I will throw out a couple of other names, the volume throwers, Okay, that are at
the mid level. I'm talking about guys like Philip Rivers, talking about guys like Eli Manning, and don't sleep on a guy like Arson Palmer as well. I don't think that their quarterbacks are doing good for their real teams. I think all three of those games are not necessarily teams that are gonna be dynamic, but they're gonna be a lot of attempts, and that's what you want in daily Fantasy. Let's go down to the running backs real quick, Chris, let me give you my running backs. I am also
paying up for my RB one. I'm going with Levy on Bell. I'm going Levan Bell at as well, because I think these Jacksonville Jaguars have looked good against the past getting pressure on quarterbacks and with the cornerbacks out there a J. Boullier and Jalen Ramsey, they have not, however, done well against the run. The Jacksonville Jaguars are first against the past and thirty second against the run so far this NFL season. I also like the fact that
Levian Bell had like thirty five carries last week. I think he's rounding into form. I like the matchup. I think Pittsburgh is gonna try to win this one on the patient eyes and legs on Levy. On Bell, he's my RB one. But now that I got Aaron in Levian Bell and I paid up for them, I gotta go all the way down. So remember I talked about Carson Palmer how he's going to throw the ball a lot, And I think the only running back really for Arizona that is doing anything is Andre Ellington. He's in my
lineup at fifty four hundred. I like the work that I think he's gonna do in the passing game and in this half point PPR format. I like him even better on draft kings at full point PPR. But I think Andre Ellington can get some production, especially garbage time as Carson Palmer dumps it down to his back. So give me Levan Bell, Att and Andre Ellington at fifty four. Those are my running backs. What say you? Chris? Running
Backs for Week five? I got you. I like that, and I'm you're talking about the d v O rankings right first against the pass Yeah, I was looking at that too. A bunch of my line ups have Bell too, but in this one said paid for Rogers. I instead went a little bit towards the middle of the road. I took Girly and Lamar Miller. Yeah. Girls, I was
looking at the same d rankings. Absolutely and Girly. Listen, girl, he has been a stud I believe he's the number one running back in all of fantasy out this side of Kareem Hunt. And you can get him at undred almost two thousand dollars cheaper than Levy on Bell. So if you want to go down and Todd, Gurley has been doing work in the passing game as well, right, Chris, right exactly. He's been basically the focal point of that offense.
That offense has been growing. We've been scoring tons of points. And you know, I like the match up Seattle against the run in d v J and Tent against the past. I feel like they're gonna have to really ground and pounded to get a win this week at home against the Seahawks. Fair enough, So you've got you've got Todd Gurley, who's your second running back this week, Lamar Miller, same reason. Kansas City ninth against the past, twenty fifth against the run.
So I'm hoping they're also going to pound and mom. Miller looked great last week. I think he's coming along. I really like moment. I've always did. I always did, though, all right, I know you're not the biggest well I think Dante Foreman is gonna cut into that work share, but I like where you're going. Look looking at target defenses that are strong against the past and not so much against the run. That could impact the game plan on Sunday Night football. Check out Lamar Miller there on
Sunday Night Football. All right, let's look at the wide receivers. Hey O, Chris, I told you how much I like Aaron Rodgers. I told you how much I like the Packers pass game against Dallas this week because of the Dallas secondary. Check this out. I'm going Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb in my lineups. Okay, I got Jordy Nelson at hundred and Randall Cobb at sixt hundred. I think Jordy Nelson gets a touchdown and I think Randall Cobb gets a lot of these short crossing routes and slot
routes this week. I think they're both gonna be um valuable. I think they're both gonna be productive. I think the green Bay Packers put up thirty five, thirty seven points against Dallas, and it's gonna be a back and forth kind of game. So give me all of that production. That's why the total is so high in this game that week. This week, so give me Nelson and cob I'm going with a super stack of the green Bay
Packers this week. I like green Bay offense big time in the passing game, and for my third wide receiver, I'm staying at the same price that I got Randall cobbat at sixties six hundred. Give me Jarvis landry On on the Miami Dolphins against the Tennessee Titans. This Tennessee Titans back end has been attacked. Look at what the Titan look at what the Texans did against them. They've had this issue for a while. This is also it sounds crazy because it's Week five. This is also the
home opener for the Miami Dolphins. Remember they had the hurricane, They had a London game, this is the first time they are playing in front of their home fans in South Florida. I like that matchup. I like the talent in this PPR format. I think Landry is gonna get a lot of targets, a lot of catches. So give me Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Jarvis Landry. I'm going super packers stack this week, Week five of DFS, where
you're going at wide receiver, Chris, I love it. It's really really funny that you did that because I did basically the same exact thing, except I got Parker instead of Jervis Landry. He's cheaper, and I think he's got the higher upside. I like going high upside in the big twenties. You know he you know, he's been targeting Parker a lot. He's been consistent with his catches and targets, even when they scored zero points. I think it was last week. And you know, I think he's the higher
upside for a touchdown as well over Linch. Just the bigger receiver you're going. You're going Nelson in the cob as well. Yep, we got we gotta norm on this before you come on, like what like I'm bringing you on the talk. You know, other options. We're just going the same way. I'm trying to give people options here, but we're going on. We're going all the same. That means, to be honest, Chris, I gotta tell you something. On Monday, we're either gonna both be really happy or we're gonna
both be having to explain what went wrong. You're back up producing fantasy freestyle on Monday. Is that correct? Yes? Okay, So here's the deal. If these lineups don't hit, if we don't do well here in week five, I need you on with me on Monday, helping to make you know uses of why if we don't cash. Okay, yeah, I got one right now already. How about we just told everybody to take these guys and now they're gonna be high, owned high. They don't hit four times their value.
I know, I know, I know, we we we lose something there. Well, let me let me ask you. I don't know if we're on the same I don't think we could be on the same tight end. Although I needed to, I needed a punt play at tight end because I had Nelson, I had Bell, I had Aaron Rodgers and it looks like we're spending about the same amount of money. So I hope you didn't go down as far as me. Copris. I went all the way
down to forty five hundred dollars. You had to because I was about to say, how did you how did you spend all this money? Who was really cheated? Ellington? Running back Ellington, I think it's gonna be a value at fifty four hundred, and I'm going with Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin at forty five hundred. Okay, I like that Deshaun Watson has been, you know, be able to throw the ball, extending plays. I like Ryan Griffin. I like the skill that he brings outside of DeAndre Hopkins.
I think Griffin can get a little bit of work. And I needed I needed, you know, I needed to spend. I need to go cheap here. So I found Ryan Griffin, who I actually think is the starting tight end out there. I think he can get some work. He's got great hands. I'm going Griffin at forty Where are you going for tight end? I like that point play. I'm going a little more balanced, a little higher up because I didn't spend as much as you want. The running back, so
I got Austin Seferian Jenkins. I really liked them this week against Cleveland. I think you Jets are gonna put up some points and Cleveland, I looked at the dvo the sixth I believe against the run and twenty eight against the past. I believe it was checked before. All right, So I took Jackets. I think he's the best words don't target on that team by fall. Yeah, I understand what you're saying. He's been getting consistent targets the red
zone and the tight end. And also when you have a guy like Josh McCowen, you know he's gonna dump it down a little. We're up against it, Chris, real quick, give me your defense that you're going with this week. I'm going buffour bills at Cincinnati forty hundred, middle of the pack um because I wasn't able to really spend much more. And I think that defense is going to continue to stay consistent and keep making plays. I mean, they look like one of the better, more more consistencies
overall so far. Defense absolutely, Chris, You're absolutely right there. The number one scoring defense in all of the NFL. Only fifty four points given up across the first four games, and they have Cincinnati on the docket this week. Thanks a lot, Chris for your lineup. I hope people are listening. Hopefully they can win a little bit of cash. And on Monday, if I need your help to defend it, we're gonna have you right here on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Thanks for spending a couple of minutes with us, Chris. Of course it fair enough. Have a good weekend. Let's all let's all get that cash. I'm going with the Los Angeles Rams defense at forty eight hundred. I think Aaron Rodgers could do damage against that offensive line. Remember, the Seahawks also lost Chris Carson and their running game hasn't been doing much. Although I expect Thomas Rawls to
be decent, I think that causes problems. I think the Rams makes me some play because they look to take supremacy in the NFC West. When we come back, I'll tie a nice neat little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle and the week in general. Let your boyd speed and spitting statistician right here on the Fantasy Freestyle down the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle. Doug Markart looked good. Teach me how to Dougie. Teach me,

It's now eight seven in the sixth inning. It was like eight three when I started interviewing and called it a win, A little bit premature.

I had a poll question up here on Twitter asking which home dog or pick them do you like to win? Outright?
Thirty nine percent of you think that the Rams have had a chance to uh take a strangle hold on the NFC West early on in the season in their matchup at home against the Seattle Seahawks. Of you say the Browns against the Jets, and twenty nine cent of you say that Houston Texans keep it going as they host the undefeated Patriots. Clinton Clinton Trey Hand says wants to go Cleveland, but the Jets haven't seen enough from
them yet. Take the l A Rams. We got some other people taking l A. A lot of people like the Rams, like Jared Goff, like what Sean McVeigh has done.
