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 set Martinez. You know what it is that your boy Dane Martinez a k A Speed t K to spitting statistician and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy
Sports Radio Network. Big shout as always everybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio, watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network YouTube live stream. We got a big show for you. It is a football Friday, and I am joined ads O is by my man, the Manimal. He's all the ones and twos, keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. We are blowing up like a Samsung seven. And you know what, let me
just start with this. Okay, I've been talking smack about a Marie Cooper for a long time and he put it in my eye last night. Okay, eleven catches over two hundred yards, two touchdowns, he absolutely went off and was was a game where a lot of people produced the Raiders wanted on the last play of the game, or the second last play of the game, or the
third last player of the game. Whatever. It turned out to be the last play of the game with a touchdown of Michael Crabtree as the Raiders stay in contention in the a f C West. And yes, a Marie Cooper did in fact put it in my eye. But I gotta tell you the truth, though, And Marie Cooper
at forty four points in PPR scoring last night. He had thirty nine point six points combined in weeks one through six, So maybe I wasn't crazy for thinking that there was something going went on with Mariy Cooper with all the drops and all the other stuff he was going on. And that brings me to our poll question. You know what we do here, We always got a poll question up on the Fantasy Freestyle. I want to know, after that performance, how do you respond? Do you sell?
Do you sell high? Because this might be his best game of the year probably will be do you sell after that performance? Are you looking to buy a Marii Cooper for the rest of the year, Thinking that this is the beginning of a new trend and that a breakout is coming and he will return back to kind of high end wide receiver to kind of status. Or are you someone who still needs us to wait and see a little bit about Amari Cooper before you dive
in with both feet. Trust me, I am not completely buying it yet, although I must admit Amari Cooper did put it in my eye. What I will also say, though, is the Raiders they were home dogs last night. If you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle hashtag dropping stats over Beach, you already know how much Speeds loves the home dogs. The Raiders one outright as a home dog last night. There are six other home dog scenarios. We're gonna talk
about them. I'm gonna tell you which ones I like that you need to take the point you're getting from a team at home, and in which ones where the team is just a dumpster fire and you need to lay the points and go with the favorite regardless. Later on in the show, we're also gonna be joined by my man, Chris the Venture Chris Venture the Analysts. We're gonna give you our DFS lineups for week seven as well.
Over on FanDuel. I'm feeling really good about my lineup, so I'm gonna let you guys know, and that's what we're here for, to help you win your leagues and win that task. We're also gonna get your calls at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Hey Renee in Connecticut.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and is Dain Martinez getting you ready for the weekend.
A lot of things going on this weekend. Okay, we got the tip off weekend of the NBA going on, We got the to be honest, we have the last game in MLS soccer before with the playoffs, and of course you know we have the a LCS where Game six kicks off in about an hour. Let's see if Aaron Judge can all rise on the road for once. You know where I'll be watching. And of course we have weeks seven of the NFL season. This is a big time we in fantasy football. Okay, let's say you
were three and three right now. You know, four and three looks a lot better than three and four at this point of the year. If you're four and three, you go to five and two, you go to six and one. You were starting to think about your lineups
for the playoffs. You were starting to, you know, not worry about the handcuffs and the buys as much as starting to look ahead to what your team will look like in weeks twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, and some of the news and notes around the NFL will help you get a w so you can get into that situation. Right. First of all, I think this is important. Dirt Cutter is saying that Jamis will in fact start for the Tampa Bay Bucks against Buffalo this week. I
gotta tell you the truth. This worries me. I don't like this. I don't like this because, listen, Jamis has something right now that a c joint in his throwing shoulder. I think this is something he's gonna have to deal with for a while. I would have tried to just rest them and sit them and make him get a
hundred percent. Remember, the Tampa Bay Bucks do not have a by for the rest of the season because they missed the first week of the season due to the the the unfortunate circumstances around the hurricane, right, so they don't have a buy He's gonna have to week in and week out. He is going to have to deal with this. I would have liked them to sit him this week. This worries me because also the Buffalo Bills one of the top defenses in the league in terms
of points per game given up. This could be a tough non conference road game for them anyway, and then he could be a little bit banged up and having to manage that throughout the season. I would not be confident. If I'm a Jamis Winston owner, I don't know if I would have in my line up. I would look for other opportunities. Here are the guys that have been removed from the practice report. These are guys that I think are okay to go in Week seven. First of all,
you got Chris Hogan out there in New England. He had that rib issue from the big hid he took from the Jets game last week. Looks like he's all right. He's been removed from the injury report. Rob Kelly Fat
robbed like WHOA. Looks like he's gonna be all right for Monday night football as the Washington football team takes on the Eagles in what could be a game a battle for the top spot in the NFC East and also um A lot of people were riding with guys like Austin Hooper and Taylor Gabriel last week in Atlanta. Let me tell you something, I would temper my expectations for those two guys because Mohammed Sanu is coming back and so as you know, it's a new day with
Mohammed Sanu. Okay, you like that against the Patriots past defense, but now it's snow back. I expect him to be the number two wide receivers. So you may want to tamper expectations and not a guy like Austin Hooper in the middle of the field or Tyler Gabriel. These are guys that are still limited. These are the guys that are gonna be questionable tags, people that you need to
kind of, um, really keep your eye on. When we're here on Line Up Block Live Sunday morning, when my man Corey Parts in the Fantasy Executive we talked to dr A from Inside Injuries. These are starting with guys we're gonna be talking about to see what we think about their prosper Kelvin Benjamin h Ron. Rivera says he's probably more probable than questionable with that knee issue, but I do think that could be a problem, you know, um for Carolina, DeMarco Murray has had that hamstring issue
all week long. I actually think that Derrick Henry is gonna be the lead back even if Murray is out there this week, I can see a lot bigger share going to Derrick Henry. Leonard Fournett is a very interesting one. He's still battling that ankle injury. He gotten unlimited work. They expect him to play. I disagree with this. I believe what they need to do because the Jaguars have a by next week and they're playing against the Cults.
I do believe, right, and you gotta figure maybe they can get past that game with Chris Ivory as their lead running back. I would give Leonard Fournette a chance to rest up. It does not necessarily look like that's what the Jacksonville Jaguars are doing. Jeremy Macklin is also gonna be a real game time decision. That looks like
with that shoulder injury. And it does look like with Lee Snead is gonna get out there for a little bit more of work then he had last week as he comes back from a hamstring and of course that suspension. Here are the guys that did not practice. I would worry about these guys. Davante practice. DeVante Parker missed his six practice in a row. It does not look like he is going to play against the Jets could mean a lot more targets for a guy like Jarvis Landry.
Delaney Walker is trending in the wrong direction. Went from limited to d n P today. Okay, he might be another candidate of someone who they could rest because they have a week eight by It could be Jon Smith out there for a lot more opportunity in Tennessee. Delaney Walker may not go this week. Mike Wallace, they say he's gonna play, but why, Honestly, I'm fading this Baltimore offense altogether. I'm fading every part of this Baltimore offense.
Why because they are in Minnesota this week and that defense has looked strong, And really, am I getting behind Joe Flacco and that offense right now? No? I'm not. Keenan Allen. This is also an interesting one and a new one. He got injured in practice yesterday okay, and then today did not practice. They say it's a shoulder injury. Okay. That is trending in the wrong direction. Keep an eye
out on that. And here's the thing. The Chargers there at the no fly zone anyway, going against the Denver Broncos. So this may be a week that you could sit keenan Allen. All right, let's keep it going here here. I told you guys about Thursday night football and how the main thing was that Amari Cooper put it in my eye. I completely understand, I completely acknowledge I've been down on Amari Cooper. I didn't say you should cut them.
I did say, however, you should bench Amari Cooper. And so if you have the forty four points from Amari on your bench, you can get at me. I had someone on Twitter tell me when Amari Cooper was going off that they must have heard me and used some of speeds that spitting statistician as bulletin board material out there in Oakland. Same with Tyree Hill. I thought this was gonna be more Kelsey. I thought this was gonna be more Hunt. It turned out that Tyreek Hill popped
off with another long touchdown. I also thought, here's the thing I want to you know, Okay, fine, Amari put it in my eyeye. Okay, I I acknowledge that. I admit that. You know, I still agree, however, with the fifty nine of people in the poll right now, that's say what you should do with the MARII Cooper is sell off this big game that it probably is his best game of the season. But here's the other question, here's the other person I want to talk about. Marshawn Lynch.
What are you doing? Bro? What are you doing? Bro? After two carriers for nine yards? You come on in there when these guys hit your quarterback late, but just because the guy who did it was Marcus Peters, who's your boy from Oakland? You run out onto the field from the sidelines to try to protect the opposing player when your offensive line is getting in his ass? What are you doing? And then to compound things, you push the ref which causes your rejection. Let me ask you something.
What are the big images you remember of Marshawn Lynch this year with the Raiders want him getting ejected and the other him dancing on the sidelines. Listen, I ran the numbers on him and Jalen Richard. Jalen Richard has three hundred eleven scrimmage yards this year, Marshawn Lynch three oh four. Jayleen Rochard has forty nine Fantasy points this year. Marshawn Lynch, what are we really doing with this Marshawn Lynch thing? I'm telling you, maybe it gets better in
the second half. But if I'm a Marshawn Lynch owner, I'm starting to shop Marshawn Lynch because I think he still carries name value, you know, and I think I might be able to get something back from him. Do it now while you still can. I also want to ask you about Kareem Hunt, guys, because you know, after he had six touchdowns in his first three games, he hasn't scored since, okay, And don't get me wrong, He's still getting like fifteen points a game without scoring, so
he's still definitely a top five running back. I know. But I had people at the beginning of the season being like, yo, Kareem Hunt or Levian Bell, and I was like, chill, bro go with Levian Bell. It's all this recency bias, okay. And since those first three amazing games where he got into the end zone twice per game, hasn't scored since, So maybe the league is making something of an adjustment on how to play the Kansas City Chiefs.
And remember I believe they have Denver up next, okay, and that running defense is strong as well, So you may may I want to start to downgrade Kareem Hunt. You're obviously still starting him in your season long. You're not like shopping him or trading him or anything like that, but just keep an eye on this. Is this the new normal when it comes to Kreem Hunt and the Kansas City Chiefs. All right, as I told you, there were seven home dogs this week, the Raiders have already
made it. Want to know, you know how much I love the home dogs. Here, I'm gonna start to tell you about what I think about some of these home dogs. We're gonna be up against the break, so we're gonna keep it going with the home dogs. But then after that, what we're gonna do is we're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four four, eight four, three six eight seven nine, so y'all can holler at me and I can try and help you get a win. Four
weeks seven, the first home dogs the Bears. They're getting three against the Panthers. The Bears have been feisty at home. They beat Pittsburgh, they should have beat Atlanta if you remember that dropped in the end zone, that kind of thing. Trabiskie. I think he's gonna have the fans behind them. I think they're gonna try to run the ball a lot. I think they're gonna try and run, run, run against the Panthers, and I'm still not sold on this renaissance
of Cam Newton in the new offense. Okay, I think the Panthers might win a close one ear but I think it could be like it could be a seventeen kind of game. I think with the Bears, you fade them like crazy when they're on the road, but at home they're feisty. I'm gonna take the points, and the Chicago Bears here's one where I'm gonna lay the points. Cleveland Browns are getting six at home against the Tennessee Titans. This is also one of the biggest point threads of
the week. If you remember last week, they were like four double digit point spreads. You remember like Atlanta was like a twelve point favorite. They lost out right. Denver was like a thirteen point favorite. They lost out right. The books have learned there are no big spreads this week. The six for the Browns are the best, but they are a dumpster fire right now. They are blunt, guts trash.
I think Tennessee needs that game. I think they go into Cleveland and get in w all right, so when we come back check this out, I'm gonna give you some of my thoughts on the other home dogs. We're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four four eight four, three six eight seven nine. Holler at your boys speeds, let's help you get a win for week seven. You know what it is is the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Calliman now, 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 e year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app f F T S y R Radio. It's three and it's twenty four seven the best Fantasy sports on ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We'll go back to the Fantasy Freestyle where your hashtag dropping stats over beats, and this beats specifically is brought to us by one
of our listeners. It is Renee in Connecticut who sent us a couple of beats. You know, I wanted to be part of the cipher. So we're dropping it right now on a football Friday here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Before we went to break. I told you about how I like the Bears being feisty at home getting three points against the Panthers, but that I am off the Cleveland Browns because they continue to defecate the mattress, continue to be windless. They don't know who they want at quarterback.
Deshaun Kaiser looks like a turnover machine. I mean, the guy had an eighteen QBR before he was pulled, and then all of a sudden he watches one game from the sidelines and Hugh Jackson thinks he's a changed man. I don't buy it. I'm taking the tight to go in there and cover. There's a couple of other home dogs I want to get to before we open up the phone mines and there's still room. Guys, if you want to holler at me, you can at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Next one
is the Packers. The Packers are home dogs. They're getting four points at Lambeau. Let me tell you this. I understand how people if they want to not touch this game with a ten foot poll because you gotta wait for bred Hunley. I think bred Hunley is gonna be okay. I actually think Bred Henley is gonna be okay. I think the weapons he has on the outside are gonna really help him. I think the Saints pass defense can be had as usual. Give me the Packers with four
points in lambeau Field. I think that crowd is gonna be uh supporting Brendan Honley. And also he came in cold last week. They have a week tractice take all the first seam repress. I wouldn't be surprised if they figured some things out that they can do. And I would not be surprised if the Packers move the ball and there they're getting more than a field goal at home. We gotta look up when the last time that was that ever happened. So I gotta take the Packs. But
plus the four. The other one that I'm gonna ask you about here I'm gonna talk about is the Colts. They are getting three and a half points against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. I know everybody loves the Jags. Everybody's hot team is the Jags. You know, Saxonville getting pressure. If you listen to the best Friends Forever. They got like the cats scratch fever as a nickname for their secondary so it looks like t Uy Hilton is gonna
catch the fever this week. Alright, big shout out to my Man and Mike Florio and Frank Stanfield and of course Susmania Greg Sussman out there on Best Friends Forever. You gotta check them out. Okay, download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. This way you can get everybody and it is free. But I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna take the point here. I don't think the Jaguars put up a lot of points. I think Leonard Fournette is banged up. Why am I gonna ride with Blake
Bortles as a road favorite. I think the Colts are a better offense with Jacoby Burst under center. I think the Colts have been good at home. I think in these division matchups, maybe Jacksonville wins, but it's it's three and a half. I like the hook. I think the hook could be in in here. Give me the Cults plus three and a half. The next one is the San Francisco forty Niners. They are getting six points at home against Dallas. This regemma is tied for the biggest
spread of the week. I like San Francisco in this one. That Cowboys defense I think can be had. Their secondary allows people to run for free. No Seawan Lee there for defense anyway. And the Niners have been close in a lot of games, Okay over time. In a couple of games, maybe they lose, But I think six points is way too many. And I'm gonna be looking at that Iowa Hawkeye combination of C. J. Bethard to my
man George Kittles and bits. I like that combination. I think they get in the end zone once this week. I could see a close game here as well. So if you're gonna give me six points, I will take the home team that one. And the last one is the New York Giants are giving or excuse me, they're getting four and a half at home against Seattle. Did the Giants just play their best game though against Denver
on Sunday night? I'm not sure they have the Sunday night and they travel back home Seattle coming off a bye. I know it's west to east coast travel, but something in me says that the Giants are still not good. Their offensive line is still not good yet Sterling Shepherd comes back, but I could see Seattle coming in here and making a statement, Um to stay in pace with rams in the NFC West. I'm passing on this one,
so I'm not touching the Giants. I like the Niners plus six, I like the Colts plus three and a half, I like the Packers plus four. I am taking no part of the Cleveland Browns, and I do think the Bears plus three can be feisty. Listen, some of these sound crazy, but these home dogs come in all the time.
Everyone thought Kansas City was gonna go in there and dominate last night, and it didn't really happen, all right, sim to get to the phone lines right here, it's my favorite part of the show where we holler at the Fantasy Freestyle cipher dropping stats over beats. Let's open up the phone lines to see if we can help people out get a w in week seven, a crucial week in the middle of the byes where contenders stamped themselves.
We started off with Pete. Pete is in Shaolin, Staten Island right here, s I n y, how can speeds help you out here? For week seven? What's up? You're in the Fantasy Freestyle? How are you doing gay? All right? Um? A couple of things. Um, we talked about the quarterbacks the other night that I needed to pick up in in order. I picked up case Schem and Hunley. Okay, I'm gonna pr number one. There's three spots I wanted to talk about. First off, out of those two, which
one should I start? Okay? Second, I have a wide out spot here between Rashard and Matthews and Adam Adam Adam. I'll tell you that right away, Adam Feeling. It's not even close. I'm also listen, I think bred Hunley could be okay. I think with a week of practice, Bret Hunley could get okay. Okay, So I'm going with Hunley and I'm going with Feeling for sure. But then again, you Keenum is the other one, right, So maybe you want to stack Keening up with Feeling. That's an option
just because you have um Adam feeling as well. And what's the third one? The third one is uh Severian Jenkins or Evan England. I like Austin Seferian Jenkins. He's getting consistent targets. He's getting consistent targets. I think the Seahawks are a little bit better against the tight end. I know Evan Ingram popped off last week, but I think with the return of Sterling Shepherd in that offense, I think he's gonna get less targets. Austin Seferian Jenkins
has been getting consistent targets for the Jets. I like him against Miami. I like also to get into the end zone. So to recap Austin Seferian Jenkins is where I'd go. I definitely would go Adam Feeling. I think Adam Feeling as a potential be a wide out one this week, especially Pete, because Stefon Diggs looks like he's gonna miss his second straight game. And I would say it's okay with Bret Hunley, but if you want to stack up Keenum with Delon, I like that as well.
And Pete, thanks for the call out there in Shalon Hollow at me next week. Let me know how you did. We keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle. The next caller up is Logan in Michigan. Logan in Michigan, what's going on? You're on the line with speed Eads on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help you? Thanks man, big fan of the show. Thanks for taking my call anytime. I'm in a few leagues. This is an eight team PPR league. Pr You've got great options in an eight
team league. Come on, yeah, for sure. I have a trade in a lineup question, my line up question this year or for this week. I have a wide receiver too in a flex need a wide receiver to and a flex Jarvis Landry, Doug Baldwin, and Alvin Camara. I like Landry for you because I don't think DeVante Parker is gonna play with that ankle injury. So I think we get a ton of targets for Jarvis Landry. And if you're in a PPR league, you gotta love Jarvis Landry.
Outside of that, I like Kamara as well. I like Kamara because also it's a PPR league, right, and I think that the same Like you know, if he's on your team, he's gotten what like ten targets a game. Over the last couple of games. They traded away um Adrian Peterson because they wanted to give more snaps to Alvin Kamara. So I like Alvin Kamara and I like Jarvis land injury. What's your trade question? All right? I made a trade Adams in Time Montgomery from Michael Thomas.
He hasn't actually accepted it yet, but I wasn't sure if I should go through a side or not. I might be over reacting to the whole Aaron Rodgers thing, but don't sure what. Uh here's the deal. I'm not saying you're not overreacting to the Aaron Rodgers thing. But while I would be okay with one of them, I don't know if all of a sudden, the packers I
want to own. You know, both of these guys, right, So I would have been cool with trading one of them away, um, because I can understand divesting on Green Bay a little bit. I don't think it's crazy. I think Michael Thomas is a wide out one. So I think you did find it's not crazy, but you know, don't go too far. It looks like you were trying to get away from all of your packers, and like
I said, I think they could be serviceable. Maybe what I would do is I pull that trade and see how they look this week and see if you really want to propose that again. Maybe next week. Alright, Logan, but definitely I like the Jarvis Landry and I like the Alvin Kahamar. Alright, I hope you have a good weekend. Uh you know, good luck to you in week seven. Let's keep it moving here. Uh, status over beats. We
got James in Austin. James and Austin wants to talk to me about some wide receivers that looks like, what's up? You're on this fantasy freestyle? Hey, what's up? I just want to say I love the show, Thank you so much man. Okay, so a team Standard League. I'm starting Antonio Brown. So I have Dez Bryant, Adam Feeling, d Jacks, and Mohammed Sunu. I need to know who would be my two and who would be my fled So I
like Adam Feeling for sure. A lot of people you listen to guys, Adam Feeling is gonna break out this week again. No, no Stefon digs. So I love Adam Feeling. And then the other one I got I'll give you is I'll put des Brian in the flex. Okay. Remember my thesis on Dez Bryant is that when he faces elite cornerbacks, he disappears. But San Francisco doesn't have and elite cornerback. So I like Dez Bryant a little bit. This week. I would go Feeling and Dez to pair
up with Antonio Brown James. That's where I would go ahead of a guy like DeShawn Jackson because I don't even know what's up with Jamis's shoulder. I don't know if he's gonna finish the game, so that worries me. So I'll give me Daz, give me Adam, Feeling, Trey and Memphis. You're up next on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's up? I got it? Yeah, I got a question. USC questions I'm thinking about, like Pittsburgh against Andy Daldon and a Green or maybe like Rams against Caution, which one you
like it? I like the Pittsburgh defense a little bit better. I like the Pittsburgh defense. They've been good against the run and good against the past. I think they are third in the NFL both against the run and against the pass um. The Rams defense with Arizona. Arizona is different and more balanced with Adrian Peterson, so I would stay away from that. And weird things happen in London, if you know what I'm saying, man, So I'll stay away from that. I would go with Pittsburgh. All right,
thanks for the call. We got time for one more. Let's go to uh Jason and Callie. Jason and Calli. You are on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats. Give me your question real quick because we're up against the break. All right, man, I'm trying to a flex spot standard. Um, I got either Gore, Smallwood or Blo Power and you said it's a standard league. Yeah, all right, I'll go with Frank Gore. Okay, small Wood is better in a PPR option at le Garrett Blunt is your
standard guy over there. Okay, small Wood is good because he's taking that Darren Sproles roll, so that's much better in PPR formatas Blow Powell he's coming back with. So Matt Forte is still there as well. Give me Frank Gore, especially because I think he's getting goal line work because Robert Turbin is out. Kenny in Colorado, I couldn't get to you, but you wanted to talk to me about a Marii Cooper. I got it wrong. I admit it.
I got it wrong. When we come back though, on Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna be joined by my man Chris. We're gonna talk DFS lineups for week seven. It's Dane Martinez in the Fantasy Freestyle coming right back.

Hi'm Aaron Judge and you're listening to the Fanny Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle, which point day Martinez
spees the Smitten Statistician. We're dropping stats over beats. We got time for one more caller, and I think I might have to take some medicine on this one. It's Kenny in Colorado and he wants to talk to me about a Marii Cooper. So if you're a friend of the show, you know what's about to happen. Kenny in Colorado. You're on the Fantasy freestyle was up. Oh no, I don't know. So first of all, I agree with you about telling high. I recently just traded away in Marin
Cooper last night. Nice So Doug Baldwin. As for Isaiah row, well, I like that cashing on that one. My question was actually a flex flex espiction in the defense question. Alright. So first of all, I recently sold high I will flee to my trader Jordy Nelson for will fer. I don't know if that was a good idea of bad idea. Yeah, But my question is I got since I'm stacked at wide receiver, I'm starting Jordy Nelson and Apple Thomas, and I'm to between sorry, Doug Baldwin or Joe Mixon at
my flex position. Fair enough, man, here's what the thing is. And first of all, I like that you sold Fuller as well. You know he's not gonna score two touchdowns a game every time, right. I think Doug Baldwin is the safer play. It sounds like he got a pretty good squad, all right, Um, Kenny, So what I think you need to do is you need to go with the safe option. I think Doug Baldwin is the safe option.
Joe Mixing coming off the buy they make use things, but listen to Pittsburgh run defense has been surprisingly good and Mixing hasn't really gotten off just yet. Even though the new offensive coordinator, Laser, has been feeding him the ball. It's been like eighteen carries and nineteen yards. So I think Doug Baldwin is the safer play, has the safer floor. I put him in your flex spot. And thanks for the call, Kenny. You are reinforcing what I was saying
about selling on a Marii Cooper. And let's check out that pole question real quick. Right now, fifty nine percent of you do, in fact agree with me and say seth huge on Maori Cooper after that Thursday night game. All right, what I want to tell you guys about first is a Fantasy Factor. Okay, what a website is Fantasy Factor. I love Fantasy Factor from my dfs because they're all single entry contest.

Www dot Fantasy factor dot com. All right, we're gonna talk a little bit of DFS right now. For week seven. We're bringing in man Chris Ventra, the analyst. What's going on? It's oh boy, how you feeling Chris today? Good? What we're doing? All right, let's get it going here. We got condensed time, okay, Chris, So let's get right at it.
My quarterback, I think you're silly if you go anywhere else, I'm going Maddie Ice, Maddie Day Yellow against the that New England Patriots past defense in a prime time spot where I know they have a little revenge on their mind. I got Matt Ryan. I'm stacking them with Julio Jones. And that's the first thing I did in my line up. Where you're going to a a quarterback, I'm right there. I'm going Maddie Ice Andrew but Andrew Brees. I'm doing Maddie. I basically all my lineup, so you got heavy shares
of Matt Ryan and heavy shares with Drew Brees. I'm hearing from my man, the Tony Sankada that I might be raining up there in Lambeau. I know Drew breeses and used to be an outside of the dome. Does that give you any cause for pause? It does? It does, But I I really feel like um without the Saints are going to get the ball a lot and have plenty of opportunities to score. I think he's gonna throw for at least a couple of touchdowns, probably three fair enough.
But Chris and I agree that Matt Ryan is the number one play in DFS this week. You gotta pay eight seven hundred on fan duel from him. But I love this matchup against the New England Patriots, who enter
thirty second rank. That's last if you don't know, against the past in the NFL, Hey, Chris at running back, I usually like to find some PPR guys, you know, because I think I get value their half point PPR and FanDuel full point over at DraftKings and I had Jerick McKinnon in my lineup, but the Tony Sankada convinced me of a few things, so I switched it up
a little bit. Um. And so what I did is I have what I think are workhorses that I think are gonna get twenty five carries and a touchdown this week. I got Jordan Howard at six hundred and Ezekiel Elliott at eight seven hundred. Those are my two running backs. What do you think who you got? I like that. Um, I'm actually I'm paying up for one. I'm going to Vanta Freeman, uh, especially with Matt Ryan Stack. And then I'm also doing I'm going a little down here. I'm
going on with Alvin Kamara. I don't know how much, how how much long to help be this cheap the season. I honestly think he's gonna start exploding. Yeah, I mean start exploding. He kind of already has. He hasn't like ten catches with game ten targets. They traded Adrian Peterson so that Alvin Kamara could get a little bit more snaps. I like that as well. Once again, though, you're going Drew Brees and Kamara in a game where I expect there to be Green, you better pray to the wetther gods.
All right there, Chris, where are you going at White? Alright, so I'm doing Julio Jones just like we're stacking him up. I'm also going Mike Thomas with the Drew Brees staff. So you're heavy. You are heavy on Falcons and Saints this week? Is that right? Yeah? Heavy Falcon Saints. And then I'm also going with my third wife receive Brandon cooked because I also think New England is gonna put up a lot of point in this game. I think it's gonna be a shootout. You expect to shoot out
on Sunday night football. You expected maybe the Falcons to get up big and then the Patriots to come on back. Where have we seen that before? All right? Fair enough, so let me you're going. You're going with Julio Jones, You're going with Michael Thomas, and you're going with Brandon Cooks. It sounds like, all right, here are my wide receivers for the cipher. Let me give out my wide receivers for weeks seven of the DFS season. As you know, because I have Matt Ryan, I'm stacking him with Julio
Jones at eight hundred. Then I'm going with to Marius Thomas this week, Chris at seventy one. I had Adam feeling in there at first, but I think he's gonna be so heavily owned that I'm looking at zig when everybody else is zagging a little bit. Give me d T because Manny Sanders is out. I like this matchup against the Chargers, and I think that Damarrius Thomas is just gonna be a target monster. I wouldn't gonna be surprised if Damarrius Thomas had fourteen targets and converts some
of those into touchdowns. I liked Maarrius Thomas at sevent my last wide out. Here's my punt play, Chris, I'm going off the off the beaten path here. I think he's gonna be not highly owned. And when I look at the Arizona Cardinals defense, Patrick Peterson has been a beast. Patrick Peterson is locking down the number one wide receiver of opposing teams, but the rest of that secondary is giving up a lot of production to wide receiver twos
and wide receiver threes that are facing them. So I look at this game Arizona against the Rams in London, Sammy Watkins has been on a milk carton for the last couple of weeks anyway, and I think Patrick Peterson is on him, and I think they take away Sammy Watkins. So it's gonna be Jared Goff going other places. So for only fifty five hundred on fan duel, give me Robert Woods. Robert Woods has been productive, He's been stable over the last couple of games. Seven catches, eight catches,
things like that. Let me bring up his stats at only fifty five hundred, I like what he's been getting. Listen, his last couple of games seven targets, eight targets, six targets, seven targets. I like that. And against this Arizona Cardinals secondary, that's not Patrick Peterson. I think he could do some work to give me Julio Jones to Marius Thomas and Robert Woods as my three wideouts. Hey, Chris, I'm hearing a lot of people liking cheap tight ends this week
in week seven, are you also on a bargain tight end? Yes, absolutely, especially since I paid up. I'm going that's what I'm talking about. I'm in agreement with you. I'm ringing the bell on George kittles and bits right here. Why did you go to kid Um? I you know it was obviously you a lot. I know that the connection between guy right right, and you know he's been pretty consistent. He's got a decent four. But you know it's a punt play any the world to be cheap. He's so
I like that play. I think he could easily have a touchdown and you know, five six catches something like that. Yeah, absolutely check this out. Ever since Bethard's been there, Like in the beginning of the season, look to targets, three targets, three targets, then in the last two games nine targets and eight targets. That is connected to C. J. Bethord. They're going with the young kids, They're going with the
youth movement. But be third, that's Kittle. I would also not be surprised if in the next couple of weeks you start to see Matt Breda also being a legitimate time share with Carlos Hide as in San Francisco. Forty nine is gonna have to look to see what they have. I love George Kittle at forty eight hundred this week. I like the Iowa connection absolutely. Hey, Chris I have a feeling we may have a similar defense. I'm going with the Purple People Leaders at fort hundred the Minnesota Vikings.
This Baltimore offense has been blunt, guts trash. They've been defecating the mattress. Joe Flacco has not done anything. The Ravens scored two touchdowns last week. It was a punt return for a touchdown at a kickoff return for a touchdown. Minnesota's defense has been great at home. They are at home this week Baltimore in a tough nonconference roadspot. Terence West banged up, Mike Wallace banged up, Ben Watson banged up. I don't know how they're going to score. I like
some turnovers and sacks of Flacco as well. Give me the Minnesota Vikings at undred. Where are you going, Chris? I love that, and that's what I really wanted to do, But I didn't have in this lineup enough money to pay for them, so I have to go a little lower. And I'm going with my g Man Giant against Seattle at home. Yeah, because I honestly I think Seattle on the road isn't nearly as good as a team. And you know what I mean, their offense isn't that great.
You know, the offensive line is bad. I think the Giants are starting to come along on defense. West week they will look great. So I think maybe they stay hot and they have a couple of turnovers, maybe even touchdown friends to lose the game. All right, fair enough, you've taken the g men, So what are you gonna feel like when Seattle not only wins that game but scores a lot. I know you're a Giants fan, and then it's gonna hurt your DFS line, just like double
the double the problems. Huh, it is double problem. But they achieve and I had to go that low otherwise I wouldn't be able to fit those receivers that I have in my lineup with I I accepted, Hey Chris before you jinx us, because when you text me about our Yankees, you jinx us. What do you like? You think you think the Yanks can win the Pennant tonight against Verlander? I think they will. I really think they will tonight. I think They're going to close it out.
Fair enough. I got my all rise Gavel right here in the studio, and if you're watching on YouTube, you know I'm giving a thumbs down right there for d D and the rest of the New York Yankees. Hey, Chris, I'll see you back on Monday. Have a great weekend, al right, my friend? All right, sounds good. Hopefully we all win because we had a couple of guys in common. Okay, So if Matt Ryan and Julio Jones pop off and George Kittle gets into the end zone, maybe Venture and
I'll both be happy when we come back. I'm gonna tell you how you can be a hero and help fight blood cancer. And my guy Danny downstairs in the Fantasy Sports Dungeon is gonna give me one or two of the best questions from the YouTube stream. I'm gonna help even your YouTubers get a w in week seven's the Fantasy Freestyle. Come all right back to see pretty style. Jamis will in fact start for the Tampa Bay Bucks against Buffalo this week. I gotta tell you the truth.
This worries me. I don't like this because listen, Jamis has something right now that a c joint in his throwing shoulder. I think this is something he's gonna have to deal with for a while. I would have tried to just rest them and sit him. The Tampa Bay Bucks do not have a bye. I would not be confident. If I'm a Jamis Winston owner. I don't know if I would have him in my lineup. I would look
for other opportunities. Weekdays from seven to a p m. E. Stern on the Phantasy Sports Radio Network, IM we got a little Obi Trice. Hopefully she got some teeth as we come back on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, dropping stats over beats with your boy speeds has been statistician. It's the Fantasy Freestyle. I gotta tell you how much
do I love the Fantasy Freestyle? Cipher big shout out to Dez Dez Underscore ninety nine hit me up real quick on the break letting me know that Shawn Lee and Anthony Hitchins may actually be expected back for that Dallas defense this week against San Francisco. Thanks for the info out there, Deaz. I'm gonna tell you something. I still love George Kittle in my lineups this week. And as you know, we had a poll swatching up what do you guys think we should do with a Marii
Cooper and I find it interesting. Still fifty eight percent of you want to sell off his big Thursday night football game. Say you want to buy because you think a breakout is coming, and say, asked me after week eight. They want to wait and see a little bit more. Clayton Trey hand saying we've seen him be inconsistent for two years now, large enough sample size where you can still trust him the rest of the way. Release the cracking, saying that they'll just let the Cooper owner enjoy it.
You don't want to even mess with it. A lot of people saying they're selling and that you're not out of the woods just yet. He has still dropped a ton of balls real quick. Let me tell you guys, if you don't know, you're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we're doing this promotion with d k MS to help fight blood cancer. What you could do is go to Daily Roado dot com or Rhodo Experts dot com slash d k M S. We're doing free DFS contest.
If you win, you go to the finals in week seventeen. You win that you get two tickets the Super Bowl fifty two in Minnesota. You also learn a little bit more about how you can help the fight against blood cancer. Register to be a bone marrow donor. You could register to be a blood donor. It's very simple. You swab your inner cheek, you send it off and then if you're a match to help you up, they hook you up so you can help someone out, really who's struggling.
And even if you lose a DFS, you win at life. And that's what I like. All right, check this out. We got our boys downstairs in the Fantasy Sports Dungeon. They're gonna give me some of the questions there on the live YouTube stream. Thanks to everybody for watching and listen and in calling following liking all that stuff. Hit the little like button right there, Hey, Danny, what's going on? What's what are the people bask in there in that
YouTube stream? What's up? So we got multiple people asking this particular question, right, what's up? Should I start Cam Newton or Marcus Mariota? That is a good question. Look at your picking out the good ones real quick? Huh damn? Yeah, I like that. Here's the thing, Marioda. I would say Mariota, but I'm a little bit worried about what happens in
this run game. You know his he gets a lot of his points, you know, exotic smash mouth running the ball, and as we saw with his his hamstring, he's not right just yet, you know, running the ball. He's gonna try and win from the pocket. And it's against Cleveland, so if they get up, then I think they just turned the ball and turn around and hand it off a lot. So I'm off Mariota. Give me Cam Newton at Chicago. I think he's gonna have to throw the
ball because they don't run anymore. Jonathan Stewart hasn't done Jack. They're a little dumped downs to Christian McCaffrey hitting up, you know, funcious, give me Cam Newton in that one. All right, Danny, Danny, we got time for one more question. I can't believe I've been telling everybody to get off Cam Newton, and all of a sudden now he's my choice. But it's mostly because of the injury to Mariotta. I go Cam Newton. We got time for one more Danny?
All right? Sounds good? So Dez or oh Adam Feeling. I'm taking Adam Feeling this week. I like Dez. I also I liked as even more when I thought the Zeke Elliott cloud was hanging over them. But now I think they go a little a little bit more pound in the rock with Zeke Elliott. I love Adam. I'm feeling myself this week okay because um Stefon Digs is out and I think Adam Feeling is gonna get the targets. I like Adam Feeling as a wide receiver one this
week as they play against the Baltimore Ravens. Thanks to everybody, Hey, thanks Danny for the questions. Thanks to my man the Manimal Chris Bovona down there, Thanks to Chris Ventra, but most importantly thanks to all y'all who hit me up at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Thanks to the Cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping stats over beats on Twitter, hitting me up all all the time. This weekend, I'm gonna try and get you guys back
as much as possible underwear. But if you really want my thoughts, holler Sunday morning on Lineup Lock Live nine am to kick off right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports radio Network. It'll be your boy Dane Martinez holding you down. And then when we're back on Monday, we'll take a look back see where speeds was right where Speeds was wrong. Hopefully you get a w good luck to everybody, especially my New York Yankees. We might be in the World series when I see your next piece.
