Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Also, big shout out to anybody listening live on I Heart Radio, listening live on tune In Radio, or watching live on the YouTube live stream for the Fantasy Sports Network. We're gonna hold you down on a big time Monday as we get ready for Monday Night Football. We got Major League Baseball playoffs going on right now, a lot of stuff to get to and if you want to join me later on in

the show, you know exactly how to do it. It's at eight four four, eight four, three six eight seven nine. I got my man, the Manimal Chris Bovona that we sweat team. Let me tell you something. Week five is almost in the books. We're gonna see the debut of Mitchell Trobinski and the Minnesota Vikings and the Bears in a little bit on about an hour and a half. That game will kick off from Chicago. But uh, we five was interesting. We have a few big injuries to

discuss and implications we had. We have a team that was windless get on the board in the Los Angeles Chargers. We also there's some big time trends and takeaways to talk about. Okay, I know everybody on Overreaction Monday is getting a little bit overboard on certain people on certain teams, So I'm gonna pump the brakes on some of this speculation. That is, while we're gonna talk about Monday Night football, we're gonna talk about the trends that I've seen that

are real in Week five. And we also got pulled questions up for you as usual. Okay, I want to know who was your diamond in the rough four Week five? Was it a guy like Ed Dixon who came out of nowhere to get over a hundred yards in that offense? And in Carolina was it Nelson Aghilor who again had another big play touchdown for the Eagles, Brian Hoyer, who did big things for the forty Niners at quarterback. And then we also want to know who was your gazey

four Week five. I'm talking about like Todd Gurley didn't do anything against that Seattle defense. Was a guy like Big Ben? Five interceptions against the Jaguars for Big Ben Roethlisberger. Then in his postgame comments he said maybe he didn't have it anymore. We'll dissect that a little bit as well, or is it a Marie Cooper? This is something I have been telling you guys, and you could listen. Maybe now you want to believe me. It's all right. We

got that at Spinning Speeds on Twitter. If you want to get at me and enjoy and join the conversation, you could do that. Remember later on in the show we opened up the phone lines as well at eight four four, eight four, three, six, eight seven nine. When we come back, I'm gonna give you all the injuries and the implications, and also we're gonna talk about what Speed's got right in week five, and there were some things,

and also what Speed's got wrong in week five. We gotta hold myself the spitting statistician accountable before we open up the phone lines and y'all do it for me because I know you guys would at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. We're also gonna talk a little bit at the end of the show as we put the fun and functional sports radio. No one has put the fun in the NBA and like the Twitter of the NBA, like Joel l n Beat and boy did he get paid, So we'll talk about

that as well. Mr boy Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're gonna come back talk about the infirm reward that is the New York Giants wide Receiver room. When we come back. 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 mess us out of the February. All you have to do is play our Big Game Tribua 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 running. So what are you waiting for Play the Big Game tributa challenge sponsored by d KMS only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. What's going on? Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network is your boy Day Martinez speeds the Spindit statistician. I want to tell you about my big time takeaways from Week five

of the NFL season. Emboy, did it really go down? First of all, remember if we go all the way back to Thursday Night football where Tampa Bay Bucks kicker Nicky Folk miss not one, not to but three field goals or else the Patriots could have gone under five hundred. Potentially the Bucks are gonna work out but worked out a bunch of kickers today. Okay, Josh Lambo Young who cool from formerly of the Chargers. And also what about Roberto Oguayo. Maybe he could get a second chance in

Tampa Bay, So keep an eye out on that. I do not believe that uh Nikki Folk is long for the job after his kicking performances in the last two weeks. Also, okay, obviously the big the big news on the injury front four week five, And I don't know if you know you know here on the Fantasy Freestyle. A lot of people on the YouTube stream like to talk about our boy Ted Finn Jr. As our good old fish right here in Studio thirty four has made it two week six,

but he has a new friend to play with. Okay, I decided to put our guy, Odell Beckham into the fish tank today because Odell Beckham is now sleeping with the fishes or swimming with the fishies. Uh as his season is over broken ankle for Old Dell Beckham, but he is not alone when it comes to the Giants and wide receivers. Brandon Marshall with an anchored injury. He was carted off. It looks like he's gonna miss multiple weeks.

Sterling Shepherd also dealing with an ankle. There is literally hardly any receivers healthy for the New York Football Giants as they went to oh and five on the season against the Chargers. That's gonna be a really interesting situation moving forward. On tomorrow show and we Talk Waiver Wiremman Lewis might be one of the biggest wide receiver ads this week for sure. Also Charles Clay and it's a shame to lose Charles Clay. He's had knee surgery today.

He's gonna be out. They say at least a month. He had an opportunity to be really be one of these tight end ones. He was look looking good over the last couple of weeks. I had him on my fantasy team. I was giving him out as an option. Looks like he's gonna miss. Sometimes you're gonna have to look elsewhere for your tight end love. Also, Travis Kelsey in Kansas City. A very scary story here. He's in

the concussion protocol. Okay, they he had the impact, whatever happened, then he went back out into the game and then decided at halftime. He said he didn't really know where he was. A scary situation with Travis Kelsey in the Kansas City Chiefs. But he is in the concussion protocol. And listen. The only thing that may have been ravaged like the New York Giants wide receiver room was the Houston Texans defense. He saw it on Sunday night. J J. Watt broken broken leg. They say it's a really bad

one there by the knee joint. I don't know if he's gonna be the same. I heard Nate Burlison on the NFL Network talking about here he had this exact same injury and that he was really never the same even when he recovered from it. And also Whitney Merciless he's gonna be out for the year. He tore his pectoral muscle early in the game on Sunday night, so that Houston defense may not be the same moving forward. We got Davante Parker, he also had an ankle injury.

He looks like he might be okay. He's listed as day to day. Terrence West with a calf, he's gonna be day to day. My Man Boom Boom, Billow Pow Powell, he's day to day with the calf. I don't know if he's gonna go for the Jets. It could be a lot of work for Elijah McGuire moving forward in the short term with Matt Forte still battling the turf toe and now Blow Power with a calf injury as well. And also as it relates to the quarterbacks, a couple

of quarterbacks got banged up. They didn't leave the game. It looks like they'll be okay. But Andy Dalton in uh Cincinnati, he was hobbled with an ankle, but he played through it. Remember Cincinnati has a bye next week, so he should be fine and should be fine by the time week seven comes along. But keeping one on Andy Dalton's ankle, and also Matt Stafford. Matt Stafford had like a five issue, it looked like, and he was gimpy as well, the proverbial little hitch in his giddy

up as he was moving along. And they say they are hopeful he'll be okay four Week six, Lions take on the New Orleans Saints next week and then the Lions have a by themselves in week seven. Also, when it comes to the quarterbacks, um Bill's head coach Sean mc dermott gave Tyrod Taylor the quote unquote vote of confidence. I think that's very interesting. Is not the first time

that he's gotten the vote of confidence. Remember now in Buffalo, when you got Jordan Matthews, you've got Charles Clay, You've got Shady McCoy, and not a lot else. Maybe the Bills get right in there by week, but uh listen, Nate Peterman could h could be warming up on the sidelines coming up pretty soon. And also in Cleveland, Hugh Jackson is noncommittal on who will be his quarterback for

the Browns moving forward. They pulled Deshaun Kaiser. Uh. Kevin Hogan got into that game in the second half of the Jets and looked a little bit better. Uh. Deshaun Kaiser right now thirty second in the NFL in terms of qb R, that quarterback ratings stats. So it's not pretty for the rookie there in Cleveland. Hugh Jackson may pull the plug on that experiment. All right, it's time now here on the Fantasy Freestyle talk about week five. Let me first talk about what speeds got right and

what speeds got wrong. Let me tell you first my call shots. Listen, Philadelphia Eagles, Man, they moved to four and one. They blow out the car Knowles. I told you about that, that West Coast team traveling east four the one o'clock start. It was it was a problem for everybody that wasn't facing the New York Football Giants at least. But listen, Carson Wentz continues to develop. He looks very good. He is in the top five of q b R in the National Football League right now.

And I'm telling you the other thing about them is that I told you they had the offensive line protecting Wentz. They are now one of these um aggregate offenses that I talked about all the time. We were just talking about on line up lock with Tony Sencada. How listen, Alston Jeffrey is technically their number one receiver, but he's not targeted like a number one receiver like DeAndre Hopkins or Julio Jones or uh you know, Odell Beckham or

Antonio Brown, these kinds of guys. This is becoming one of those offenses where Carson Wentz is gonna go wherever the ball dictates, whatever matchup he has, and part of his maturation process is to know that. Remember he's got the big security blanket in zach Ertz across the middle. I think the Eagles are for real, and everybody else in that vision, I believe is going to regress. You know, the Cowboys, they did not get the win. The Eagles

are looking at an interesting lead in their division. Remember the only loss the Eagles have is on the road at Kansas City, and what was a competitive game. I think these Philadelphia Eagles are for real, and I told you so if you listen to my season previews before the season and started. I also told you guys that Michael Crabtree is better than a Mark Cooper and will

outproduce Amari Cooper. I have been telling people for weeks here on the Fantasy Freestyle that Cooper continues to struggle with the drop issue that he has, and that I'm telling you right now at this point, I need to see it with a MARII Cooper before I put him in my line up again. He's decidedly on my bench, and you may even wanna toy with the idea of dropping him in redraft leagues if you're in a ten

team leagues. The same as like Sammy Watkins, man, these guys are not the number one wide receivers we thought they were. Michael Crabtree greater than sign Amari Cooper. The other thing I want to tell you about what I called my shot on we five was these PPR backs man guys like Andre Ellington. I told you Andre Ellington would be interesting, especially in the passing game. He had another nine catches for the Cardinals. You know a lot of him in garbage time as they were getting blown

up by the Eagles. And I also told you about Duke Johnson in the same vein as a PPR guy. He scored a touchdown UM in their game against the Jets via the past, and I think that that was right. Listen. But for everything I got right, there's also things that I got wrong. And let me you know, these are the people that put it in my eye, and I know as soon as I opened up the phone lines, I'm gonna hear this, So let me admit it now. Cam Newton had a day. Cam Newton had a day

against the Detroit Lions. You know, with all the controversies surrounding him, I still don't like really what he did. I think it was a little bit overborne, overblown with his outfit and his Rosie the Riveter pin. I think that was a little overboard whatever. But he balled out on the football field. And that's now two games in a row. So maybe, listen, I got it wrong on Cam. Okay, and he's back out there. I don't know if he's

a QB one, but you're not cutting him anymore. You're not picking up guys like Trevor Simeon over him anymore. What I will say, though, is I've always been talking about this Carolina offense as an evolution this year, right, and I said that Cam is gonna need time to understand this offense. He's gonna need time to get better and healthier off of his injuries, the shoulder, the ankle, things like that. So maybe this is an offense that is going to get better with time, and maybe we're

seeing that right now. But I was down on Cam and he kind of put it in my eye. I also thought that the Chiefs were gonna be a much tougher matchup for Deshaun Watson. I thought they were going to confuse him and scheme wise stuff like that. But nope. DeShawn Watson with another five touchdowns last night. He leads

the NFL and qb R at eight five. And check out the other guys in the top five Dac at eighty five q BR I'm excuse me, Watson with an eight five q BRDAC is second at seventy seven, Carson Wentz at sixty nine, and QBR Alex Smith, who people are talking about as an m v P candidate, it's a six eight qb R, and then Tom Brady TB twelve at sixty five. Deshaun Watson is doing it with his legs, He's doing it with his arm five touchdowns last night, and the last thing that you know pretty

much was put in my eye. I was telling people all week to stay away from Aaron Jones in Green Bay. I told you to stay away from him. I told you Time Montgomery might come back. I told you that Jamal Williams was ahead of him on the death chart for a reason. Well, it looks like Aaron Jones is going to be a thing. I think he leaped frog Jamal Williams. He is now a viable person to make sure you go out and get if he's still somehow available. I missed the boat on Aaron Jones. But then again,

here's the thing. Time on Hontgomery is going to come back soon. And I think that Time Montgomery obviously eats into the opportunity what you saw with Aaron Jones. But I do believe now Aaron Jones is the handcuff, not Jamal Williams when it comes to the Green Bay Packers. We're gonna open up the phone lines here at four four eight, four eight seven nine. We're gonna talk a little bit more about these takeaways from Week five. New York is upside down. New York football is upside down.

The Jets at three and two in the Giants row and five, and we gotta dive a little bit deeper into that Jaguar Steelers game because a lot of people are thinking that Big Ben is done, that the Steelers are hopping off that bandwagon, and that these Jacksonville Jaguars may be serious in first place of the af C South. I'll have my opinion on that when we come back.

We're dropping status over beats is the fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump, They're due to break out, just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Even year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and dell o the f A T S Y Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven. The best Fantasy sports unten. He's on the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. You got a little Swiss beats right here on the way back. This is dropping stats over beats is the fantasy freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out to I Heart Radio, Tune in Radio, and of course there's anybody watching on the YouTube live stream right here on the Fantasy Sports Network. We're doing what we can help you win your leagues and win that cast. I was talking a little bit about what I got right, what I got wrong. In

Week five. I told you about these Eagles, man, I told you about the PPR Backs, and I told you that a Marii Cooper is just it's not all that he was cracked up to be. What the idea of the drops that he had only one catch? I believe yesterday Michael Crabtree is the best wide receiver for the Oakland Raiders. And I told you also that I gotta admit when I got some things wrong. Cam Newton put

it in my eye with another big time performance. Three touchdowns, no interceptions, three in fifty five yards through the air. Also Deshaun Watson putting it in my eye as well. For the Houston Texans, Aaron Jones had a nice little game. He's ahead of Jamal Williams. It looks like, let me also say this New York City man, the Giants are in five, and uh, it looked like McAdoo is on some serious pressure here on the hot seat. Jerry Reese as well, you know, first with the offensive line struggles.

But remember they decided made a conscious effort to get Eli Manning some toys in the off season instead of protecting him as the window potentially closes on Eli Manning as he gets older. And now what are they gonna do? Noel Dell Marshall looks like he's gonna miss multiple weeks Starling Shepherd day to day with an ankle alls, which I'm talking about Louis, And that's about what it maybe

what I think matters here because watch Evan Ingram. I think Evan Ingram now gets even more targets and could be really in that low end, tight end, one streaming kind of conversation. On the other side of town, the Jets of three and two and and their fans are upset about it because they wanted a tank. But let me tell you something about the Jets. This coming from a Jets fan. If I zoom out and I look at their schedule, I still don't see a lot of

winds left. Okay, they just had the easiest part of their schedule Jacksonville Cleveland, And I told you about how the schedule is made. They just played the other last place teams in the a f C. They still have to play the entire NFC South, which is a good division, Saints, Panthers, Falcons, they still have to play the entire a f C West, Denver, Kansas City. They already lost to Oakland, you know they and so maybe the Chargers when they play on Bristismas Eve,

like week sixteen of the season. But I don't know where the Jets are still gonna get these wins. If I told you at the beginning of the year, I thought they could get Cleveland or Jacksonville, and I thought that they would win a home game against either Miami or Buffalo. They've done that. Now I don't know where they're getting another win. So let let's not go crazy on this New York Jets. There's still They're still blunt, guts trash, and I want to talk a little bit

about these Jacks and the Steelers. I mean, Clayton Trey Hand got at me on Twitter. Are the Jaguars now a weekend, week out option on defense regardless of the match up? The answer is yes. The answer is yes. I mean Saxonville in full effect. They picked off Ben Roethlisberger five times yesterday and one of his worst games of his career, and I think they're They've proven that this is the model, this is what they want to do.

Guys like Kelis Campbell and Fowler upfront, you got a j Bouye and Jalen Ramsey on the outside, a cornerback. This is real. And then what they want to do is have a time of possession game and grind out Leonard four Net. But what I will say about big Ben if you listen to the fantasy freestyle, I've said even before the season, I said the toughest thing that we're gonna have to deal with, or what I've called

the Sun's setting quarterbacks. These are the quarterbacks like the Eli Mannings, the Philip Rivers, the Carson Palmer's right, which do they fall off a cliff in terms of their play or not? Big Ben is never someone who I put it in that category, but he did come out in the same draft as Eli and Rivers. Maybe he is in that category as well. I still think the Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna be just fine. I still think the Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna win the a f C North. Okay,

but it does look weird. And I will say this that after you've mentioned retirement in the off season. The narrative is gonna very quickly go to is he done? You know? And I don't think he's done because he still has Antonio Brown, still has Levan Bell around him. So I think the Steelers will be okay. The thing is, they just ran into a very good defense in Jacksonville. And kudos to Jacksonville, so many reasons why they could

have laid an egg. Remember the travel London game, the third game in a row away from home, but they really put it. In my eye. I think the Jacksonville Jaguars that defense is real and as clay Hen Trayton says on Twitter, they are a Week two unique option. Regardless of the matchup. They scored two touchdowns. There's still bad offense in the NFL. I mean this Miami Tennessee game had two offensive touchdowns combined. The Jaguars had two

touchdowns defensively. The Seattle UH Los Angeles Rams game had two touchdowns offensively combined. The Jacksonville Jaguars had two touchdowns by themselves. So keep an eye on this. They're still add offense. Maybe some quarterback changes coming. I'm telling you Jay Cutler doesn't care. They need to go to Matt Moore. I think he's thirty first in the league in qb R at one point nine. He's behind Mike Glennan. They already made a change at quarterback the Browns. I think

you're gonna go to Hogan. Kaiser is at eighteen point five q b are They need to pull the plug on that experiment. Maybe people develop over time, but they need to maybe PEPs pause a little bit for DeShawn Kaiser as well. And also thinking about these Bills, man one a total offense one t D. I can't there are many votes of confidence you have. They have no playmakers on the outside. We'll see what happens with the

Bills after the bye. All right, we got the foam mines are open here at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. So I wanna go first. I wanna go first to Brandon in Calli, Brandon and Callie, you're leading the soft here on the fantasy freestyle dropping statue with beats. Sounds like you got a question about Zeke. Holla at your boy, what's up? Hey? I was I just gotta Davante Adams for Dak Prescott, and I was wondering if I should get rid of it a Zeke too.

I'm kind of worried about all the legal stuff. UM, thanks for call Brandon, if you're here on a fantasy freestyle. Uh, most people here on this network and I agree, do not think that Zeke is gonna miss any games this year. I know they're expecting some kind of court ruling. I don't think this is what's gonna happen. I don't think he's gonna be sidelined. I think it's gonna happen if anything, the same way as Tom Brady was a couple of

years ago. If anything with Zeke, he is going to uh serve suspension to start next year if it comes from that far. I don't think you're gonna miss Zeke at any point in the fantasy season for this year two thousand and seventeen. So I wouldn't feel bad about unloading, uh, you know, worrying too much about the Cowboys that you have. I think Zeke is gonna be just fine in terms of his ability to be on the field. His reputation, however,

will get damage. But I do think he'll be on the field for all of two thousands seventeen, barring injury. Of course we got another Uh, we got another caller. It is Jeremy here in New York hopefully maybe he's close to Studio thirty four. I don't know if you're in New York City right here by Rock and Riley's in Midtown. Man. But Jeremy, you've got a trade question. How can the spin statistician help you? It sounds like you got a trade that you may even give or

get Kareem Hunt. Huh, let's talk about it, hey, man. Yeah, I love the show, and uh I'm in Manhattan. I'm not near studio that studio now, But all right, fair enough, sometime in thirty five you come on, buy, buy a drink, watch a game. But uh, I appreciate the kind words for the show. But how can I help you? Jeremy? What's up with the trade? I got a trade offer here, and uh I have something to do with the Jags. D is funny you mentioned it? Um have Kareem Hunt

offered to me? Along with Kareem Hunts, Davante Adams, Cooper Cup. Now he wons Jordan Howard, Doug Baldwin, Tyree Hill and the Jackson. All right, say this again. Way it's Kareem Huntdavante Adams, Cooper Cup, that's the one you'd be getting. Who would you be giving up here? Same slow Jordan Howard, Howard Baldwin, Cree Hill, and the jag um Am I giving up too much? No, I mean you're getting Kareem Hunt. Man. You're getting Kareem Hunt, which is a big time upgrade

over Howard. I think Davante Adams, you know, in that Green Bay Packers offense can eat just like Doug Baldwin, Cooper Cup. I mean, you're losing a little bit on the wide receiver side. But you've also seen Tyreek Hill. You know that punt return saved you yesterday, Jeremy. You know, so maybe trek Hill. You know, it's more of a boomer bus kind of guy. I like this trade because Kareem Hunt is gonna be every week for you. I know.

The Jags defense, I said, is a stud defense. But listen, that's not really something that I would prevent me from making this trade. I like getting Kareem Hunt, Jeremy, I would do that trade real quick. Okay, uh and thanks for the call up. Next year on the Fantasy Freestyle, is Caden and Caden is in California out there, I got a question before waiver wires run for week six. Um, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? All right? So I got a two part question. Alright, So I love

Odell and play this week? Yeah, So for replacing Odell, I'm looking at uh towards Smith, Cole Beasley or Nelson Adure or um random tate for Charles Clarke. What some pickups for Odell and Charles play? Sure? Um, and we're gonna talk mostly. I gotta tell you, guys, we're gonna do mostly of our waiver wire tomorrow. I'll be giving you my top hot ads at every position. Uh for the waiver wire. On wide receivers, you know, Devin Funch has his own and of leagues and looks like he's

gonna be a thing for Carolina. Roger Lewis, if you want to replace Odell with another giant, listen to Giants still can't really run the ball that well behind that offensive line. Someone's gonna have to catch the ball. Roger Lewis looks like he might be the guy you know that is healthy and left standing there and when it comes to the tight end, listen Austin Seferian Jenkins might be alive, might be available in your league. He's only

owned of teams. Think about Austin Seferian Jenkins. He's getting consistent targets in the New York Jets, and I'm gonna keep an eye on as well. Watch what Zach Miller does tonight out there in Chicago. Okay, with the switch to Mitch Drabinsky. If he looks like the security blanket from Miss Drabinsky, he's only owned in about fifteen percent of leagues. He could be someone that is an option to replace Charles Clay for you, who it does look like will be out for over a month with that

knee surgery. I see you guys out there on the calls. I still see you, Joshua, Cliff, Scott and Holland. We're gonna get to you when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats. But you know, we gotta do. We gotta pay the bills. And one of the things that we're also doing here at UH Fantasy Sports Network is we're partnering with d k MS. If you listen to the show, you already know guys that we've been doing this partner with d k MS to

help fight against blood cancer. We're running daily fantasy tournaments for free every week of the NFL season. Weas one through sixteen. If you win that, you get a chance to go to the finals in week seventeen. Okay, you're only gonna be against sixteen people. We're fifteen people. If you win that, you get two tickets to Super Bowl fifty two in Minnesota. But here's the thing. Honestly, even if you don't win, you still win because you can

help save a life. You could register and learn a little bit more about how you could help fight this disease. I mean, cancer touches everybody in some way, shape or form. I personally am doing a walk to raise money for cancer research this weekend coming up, so do your part as well. It's free to It's free to enter the DFS contest. Even if you lose the contest, you still win by help possibly saving a life. You could be a blood donor, you could be a bone marrow donor.

It's easy to register. It's so simple to do it. I know Chris Pavona has done it. He swapped the inside of his mouth and he might be a match. We shall see all right. When we come back, we're gonna take these callers and we're gonna talk a little bit more about Monday Night football, and we're also gonna talk a little bit more about how you can help another cause very close to my heart. We'll come back

Well man, Chris Bavona switching it up a little bit here, we're dropping stats over at New Beats. Right a little daddy Yankee. As we're coming back on the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, boyd

Dane Martinez feeds the spitting statistician holding you down. Where we're reacting to everything that happened in Week five, from the Jaguars defense to the injuries in New York, to the decline potentially of Big Ben Roethlisberger, to the ascension as your boys, Speeds has been statistician told you about Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles. The phone lines are open at eight four four eight four eight seven nine. We've got a couple of people that I want to

talk to Speeds. I know one that's coming up that I'm gonna have to eat crow because of what I told him to do with Cam Newton. But we'll get there in a second. First, we got Joshua. Joshua is in Dallas. You're dropping stats over Beach on the Fantasy Freestyle. Sounds like you got a question about Todd Gurley. What's going on? So Todd Gurley didn't do that? Dude yesterday he almost lost. I'm lost because I was doing Gurley.

You think one week Bush. Thanks for call out there josh and Dallas, and yes, um, I do think Todd Gurley is still a locked and loaded RB one on a week to week basis. He just had a bad game. It looks like the Seattle Seahawks were focusing on him. He was even one of in the poll here one of our options for our gazey of week five, and right now, thirty three percent of the poll think Todd

Gurley was the fool Gayzy four week five. We got a couple of people talking about Gurley, Ben Watson the Lions defense as well, but a lot of people think that Todd Gurley was the fool Gayzy four week five. But don't worry about it, Josh out there in Dallas. I do think Todd Gurley will be just fine and is an RB one moving forward. Please do not make any rash decisions about Todd Gurley. Next up, we go to Cliff in Boston, and I believe I told Cliff, Oh,

Cliff dropped, Okay, I was, I was, I was. I was getting ready to eat some crow because I believe I told Cliff bad things about Cam Newton. So he doesn't want to talk to me anymore. We're keeping moving though. We go to Scott scott Is in Dallas. Hey, Scott, you're dropping stats over beats with speeds the spitting statistician. How can we help you out? Doing all right? Man? Doing all right? So get a little problem at running back here I'm sitting on the market Armory, Joe Mixon,

and uh, outside of that, I Wendel Smallwood. Someone approached me sort approached me saying they would do a trade for either Kareem Hunt or Dak Prescott for Michael Thomas and DeMarco Murray. Um, I just wanted to get your your thoughts on that, which one which we're moving forward with the suspension possibility and stuff like that. No, I

love Kareem Hunt. I mean if you could do this with what you said Dac and de Marco Murray on Michael Thomps, say it again, Michael, Michael Thomas and de Marca Murray, so you would be given Michael Thomas and

de Marco Murray for Kareem Hunt. All right, So here's the the critical question with us and guys everybody, uh on Fantasy Freestyle when you hit me up on Twitter at spittin speeds, the it's really important for me to know, say, like the format of your league and also in a question like this when you're gonna be trading away Michael Thomas.

What I need to know, Scott is I need to know the rest of your wide receivers because here's the thing if losing Michael Thomas would be a horrible blow to your wide receiver room, then it's a problem, right. But if you have two or three other guys that you feel good about, then Michael Thomas becomes expendable, and then hell yeah, I do that trade for Kareem Hunt. So he's the real question for you, Scott. Who's the rest of your wide receivers? Yeah, so they're the very

last part of my problem. So I have Jarvis Landry, uh, Stirling Shepherd, which we don't know about right probably out, and then I have Michael Thomas and Marty Cooper, who's also a big question mark. Right, Cooper is a question mark. You know if you listen to the show that I'm down on him. Yeah, I mean that means you kind of do need Michael Thomas. Man, I think you kind

of do need Michael Thomas. I love me some Kareem Hunt, but the fact of the matter remains that Kareem Hunt is gonna regress a little bit over the rest of the season. You know, I still think he's an RB one, but he's not gonna be what he was doing in the first two or three weeks of the season. And I think you need Michael Thomas, so I think you got to ride it out with Joe Mixon to Marco Murray. What you gotta hope is that Wendel Smallwood gets back

into the mixed Thursday Night Football. I wouldn't do it because I think you really need Michael Thomas. I'm sorry to say, Scott. Let's keep it moving though here. Thanks for the call, and as we move on on the Fantasy Freestyle, our next caller is Holland in New Jersey. Holland and New Jersey, you're here on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help Holly? Excuse me, Holly and New Jersey? What's going on? Are you there? Holly? You know I'm

about maybe like by running back like a doula. See they nderstand moment going James White, Latt Murray and Duke Johnson. I was uh, I wanted to know, um, shut up up, drop Offla and picked up Andre and Ellerton or Marlon Max or should I pick up Chrick Hogan off the waiver wire? I mean, if if Hogan is available, I really like Hogan, but I also really like Mac and uh, who else did you say was available? There? Andre Ellington? Andre Ellington especially especially Holly, if you're in a PPR format,

Andre Ellington is gold. Okay, he's He's got nine receptions the last two weeks in a row, and I don't think that's gonna change. I think he's gonna catch a lot of balls in that Arizona offense. So, Holly, I gotta ask you two things. One, if is it a PPR format. If it is, then I love Andre Ellington. And then other than that, you said Abdullah, and I got to hear the other one of your running backs, so I can tell you who I believe is at the bottom of that packing order. Who are your other

running backs? Holly? I have I have, I have, I have James White, I have Murray, and I also have two. Okay, so here's the thing. Let me tell you something, Holly, real quick. As Murray is the bottom man on the totem pole, okay, I think he's the most expendable one. I like C. J. Anderson. He had the body Melvin Gordon blew up for you yesterday. James White in the PPR league is gonna get those receptions as well. You have enough running backs, Holly, to be quite honest. So

while I like I like Andre Ellington. If you're gonna spend um, try and spend your waiver or anything, I would go for the wide receiver. I would go for Hogan out there in New England. Thanks for the call, though, Holly. I appreciate the call. You're welcome here any time. Last question we have on the phone lines is Dan in Wisconsin. Dan, you're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. You got a trade question. Let me try and help you out. Dan.

What's up? Okay? So I'm currently sitting on C G Anderson, Doug Martin, Darke Cohen, Andre Ellington, and Marshawn Lynch, and I'm trying to get will four can go with the Shawn Watson, my quarterback. I'm curious to which one of those players or two should I package to try to get fair enough? And Jordy got you. Thanks for the called Dan. I out of these running backs, I think that the one that you should be most comfortable kind of dangling is Marshawn Lynch. And I say this for

two reasons, Okay. One, if you know you have these guys on your team, You've seen the way Andrea Ellington is catching balls out of the backfield for you. The last couple of weeks. You saw what Doug Martin did in his return. I think he's an RB two moving forward. He looked great for Tampa Bay on Thursday. C J andn of Sin I think is locked and loaded as well. So I think, Man, if you have c J. Anderson, Doug Martin, Terrecon and Andre Ellington, I think you're doing good.

I would check the bye weeks and just make sure that doesn't you're not UM in a problem there on any of the bye weeks. Marshall and Lynch has not been doing it for Oakland. And the other thing is, if you're looking to dangle people in a trade, someone else in your league might believe in Marshawn Lynch just

purely based on name value. Okay, so his name rings bells that he's not being able to answer right now, Okay, So I would move Marshawn Lynch if you're trying to get Will Fuller and get a little bit of stacked with Deshaun Watson. But thanks for the call. Dan. Here on the Fantasy Freestyle listen, I talked about UM on the Fantasy Freestyle how my boy down in Mexico City really felt the earthquake. We talked about d k MS all the time, the things that we do, and as

you know here, guys, I'm a Puerto Rican from the Bronx. Okay. I had a lot of fans. We have a lot of people out there in Puerto Rico that are still struggling, including my old grandparents house and Iblneto in the center of the island. In the in the mountains got ransacked and destroyed. UM. An associate of mine from high school, you may know his name. His name is Linn Manuel Meatranda from in the Heights and from Hamilton's as well.

He really organized some of the titans in Puerto Rican music and did a song for benefit to do relief and donations for the hurricane relief Hurricane Maria out there in Puerto Rico. I want to play a little bit of it right now. It's lin Manuel Maranda, people like Fat Joe, Glorious Stefan, Jennifer Lopez and Moore on a song called um. It's almost like praying. You know, we love the music here. We dropped stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle, so I wanted to give this a

little bit of love as well. This is my high school associated lin Manuel Miranda and some other titans in the industry with it's almost like praying to help benefit

Puerto Rico. Chris, let's get to it so to sleep, cover throughful portal time and now sings for Sunny month Sun said was younger media for someone salad a mighty go go su my gol yaya one and he has a guy like pay did so most my trou show shoe guy Coolera Yeah one, No, I says sunny Nasty Sun Yeah most like that's a little bit of it's almost like praying by my former high school friend lin Manuel Branda and other artists like Fat Joe, Glorious Stefan.

I love that that he's basically shouting out a ton of cities in Puerto Rico, including a Bonito where my grandparents are from as well. I know a lot of people. We're talking about and responding to all the causes that are out there. Listen, man, we are living in trying time. So if you win some money in fantasy or in dfs, you know, maybe you put a little bit out there to support people in need. When we come back, we're

gonna check in on the polls. I'm also gonna give my quick preview of Monday night football Vikings and Bears. You know how we're doing. If he was on the YouTube livestream, you saw me doing a little bit of medanda. It's almost like praying. We dropped stats over beats right here, as the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle. The only thing that may have been ravaged like the New York Giants wide receiver room

with the Houston Texans defense. J J. Watt broken leg. They say it's a really bad one there by the knee joint. I don't know if he's gonna be the same. I heard Nate Burlison on the NFL that we're talking about here he had this exact same injury and that he was really never the same even when he recovered from it. And also Wicky Merciless he's gonna be out for the year. He tore his pectoral muscle, so that Houston defense may not be the same moving forward week

days from seven to eight pm. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, everywhere we go through all the gangsters around, they know my whole Crewel welcome back. To the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, because we drop stats over beats, which boys feeds,

because because the statistician. The Yankees have taken a to nothing lead on the Cleveland Indians as they look to get revenge against Trevor Bauer in Game four of the a l DS right there and force the deciding Game five. Yankees are up to nothing in the bottom of the second and looking for more against Trevor Bauer. Let me tell you a little bit about what I'm thinking here on Monday Night football. Okay. First of all, Sam Bradford

is in fact active. Okay, so make sure he's in your lineup, not case Keenum if that's something you were dealing with. Okay, So Bradford is back. I think that means we're very excited to fire up Adam Feeling and mom man Stephen, can you digs it? What I'm interested to see on Minnesota is what does this running back room look like without Dalvin Cook? Okay, I think Latavia's Murray is just the guy in between the tackles. He's touchdown dependent, and I do think Jack McKinnon could be

an option in PPR leagues. Let's see how that looks in the passing game. I have it as McKinnon greater than signed Latin Murray on the Chicago side. Listen, we all know it's the debut of Mitchell Trobinsky, So the question is like, what can you try to? You know, what nuggets can you mind for? And here's something and Tony Sankatta said it on Lineup Block Live. I also thought it with the backup quarterback. Look, two guys that

were maybe second teamers in the preseason. So I like Deonte Thompson okay, because he might have some chemistry with Robinsky in training camp. Maybe they were throwing some back shoulder fades together as the twos ran in training. I can't remember at the beginning of the season or in training camp it was Cam Meredith, it was Kevin White that were the wide receivers. So on the side field and when the Twols got action, I bet it was

Mitchell Trabinsky alone with Deontay Thompson. So I think Thompson could be a sneaky play both in DFS if you're in a little Monday Thursday slate action or moving forward and fantasy. He's led the Bears and receiving um like two of the last three weeks as well. So so think about that. Deonte Thompson could be a name if you want to get ahead of curve. Okay, with Mitchell Trabinsky. Ultimately, though, I do think that the Minnesota Vikings get it done.

I think they go into Chicago. It's a tough ask for Traubinsky in his debut in a primetime game against the very good defense. Give me the Vikings with Bradford back under center, Giving me the Vikings today and something like a twenty seven sixteen kind of game. That's the way I think it's gonna go down tomorrow. But we're gonna be doing here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna be talking more about the hot ads, your waiver wires, your fab budget, and who I think you can believe in,

who I don't think you can believe in. Will obviously be taking your calls as well at eight four four eight four, three six eight seven nine. You could always hit me up on Twitter as well. I try to get to everybody. It's tough to respond to everybody, but I try and do what I can. Okay, as you could always holler at me at spitting speeds as well. And like I said, we got the poll question up right now, which diamond and the rough helped you win

Week five? Say Brian Hoyer. A lot of people say other, but then they didn't say who it was that helped him. Remember when I say diamond in the rough thinking about guys, Listen, Leonard Fournette is not a diamond in the rough. A J. Green is not a diamond in the rough. Okay, Melvin Gordon is not a diamond in the rough. These are people that are owned on of league. So Brian Hoyer, Nelson Aghalor got fifteen percent another big time touchdown for

the Eagles there, and Ed Dixon fourteen percent. He was only owned in like three percent of leagues. Other people are saying yo, Patrick heard out there at Underscore Grind Harder on Twitter says Will Fuller has put in work for two straight weeks. That is true. As Deshaun Watson throws another five touchdowns on Sunday Night Football, when will

the league adjust to Deshaun Watson is the question? Clayton Trey hand of course saying Brian Hoyer by feeding Garson, They were definitely feeding Garson early on in that game. Remember Garson was also early on in his career in Indianapolis with Peyton Manning, So when they unveiled the statue and honored him, maybe he took it as an opportunity. It's not a revenge game per se, but looking a ball out as well, and then as the fool gaze, he's like one of the callers said Todd early thirty

four percent, say Todd Gurley was the Fugazi. Don't worry about it, he'll be right back at it next week. Big Ben. I believe Big Ben is fine. The toys are still there. Listen, don't go crazy with Big Ben and the Amari Cooper at nine percent, though, I think it's time to move on from Amari. Cooper will tell you who are the wide receivers you may be able to add on the waiver wire tomorrow. On the Tuesday

edition of The Fantasy Freestyle, Let's go Yankees. They're up to nothing now, looking to build some more when I come back. Hopefully there's season still remains. Speeds. It's betting statisticition on the Fantasy Freestyle. So y'all tomorrow
