Speaker 1

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned in to the speeds and spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle. Up next on that speer on the microphone. You know that I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.

It should boy Dane Martinez a k a. Speeds Ak to Spitting Statistician, and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. As always, a big shout out if you're listening live on I Heart Radio on tune In Radio, if you're watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network YouTube live stream, we got a big time show for you. On a Tuesday, I got my man Chris Bovona, the Manimal on the ones and tools. Keep it. It's so

hot that we sweats theme on a Tuesday. You know what we're going to get into. Okay, We're gonna get into the hot ads at each position before your waiver wire runs, probably sometime tomorrow. I'll tell you the guys I like that are getting added on a lot of teams at the running back, at the wide receiver, and at the tight end position. And I gotta tell you guys something. At the very end of last night show, I gave you what I like to call a little

Monday Night trick. In most settings in season long, those players that are going Monday Night are still listed as free agents when everybody else is already on the way for wire, I always keep the bottom the last guy on my roster, and I'll drop him and I'll pick him up for some kind of spec ad on the Monday night football game. If I have that roster spot right last night, I told you you could have done it with Marlon Mack who was only like thirty cent owned.

But you could have also done it with Derrick Henry, who was sixty cent owned. And if you did it with Derrick Henry, I think you have an asset moving forward. I saw to Marco Murray stretching out that hamstring a lot I saw with Henry at breakaways speed at the end of the game. I think Derrick Henry could be an asset moving forward, especially if to Marco Murray misses any time with that hamstring. We're also gonna get it

trending here it is a Tuesday. Not only am I gonna give you my hot ads, but I want to hear from you. Okay, I want to hear from you about these kind of bad beat you're having. When I heard so many people holler at me on Twitter, the cipher here on this fantasy freestyle is strong. Let me know if you just got beat, maybe by some last second play, that last minute touchdown by Derrick Henry where he could have just gone down. That also changed some people in Vegas as the Titans then got the cover

in the game because of that meaningless touchdown. It seems like that's happening a lot on Monday Night football. So I want to see which one of y'all got crushed the most by something like that and just lost or just snuck by. I want to get that hit me up at spitting speeds. And as you know, we always have a poll question up. It's who's the big ad for you this week? Week seven? Is it a guy like Orleans Darkwa who looked running well against the Denver

Broncos on Who's Sunday the Night? Is it any of these Zeke backups Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris. They're both like owned if we get news on Zeke Elliott and could climb any minute now or any time all the way through Sunday morning, how are you you know managing that? Is that your hot waiver pickup? Is it a streaming tight end? Because like I told you, there are tight

nets out there. I've been giving you the Austin Safari and Jenkins, Zach Miller's of the World, the George Kittles, maybe with ce Jake Bethord or if it's someone else, lets let me know on Twitter at spitting Speeds. When we come back, I'm gonna break down the news and notes around the league, and I'm gonna talk about what I think it's gonna be a new hashtag with doing here on the Fantasy Freestyle hashtag Game of Inches to see who got the baddest beat out there. Check it out.

It's coming back on Fantasy Freestyle when we come back. Are you new to Daily Fantasy? Are you a veteran? Either way, you can better your chances of winning money and lots of it by going to Daily Rodo dot com. Multiple people have become millionaires thanks to the guys at Daily Rodo. Why not take advice from the experts. You can become a millionaire to just go to Daily Rohdo dot com to rock Daily Fantasy Sports. Welcome back to

the Fantasy Freestyles. Boy Day Martinez Fez has fitting statistician, And it looks like the Houston Astros have just taken a lead on the New York Yankees. It looks like they go up three nothing in the sixth thnning Game four of the a LCS in the Bronx, So you I have to update you. I'm not feeling so happy about that, but we'll keep it moving. We'll see what happens. Let's give you some news and notes from around the NFL.

Here on a Tuesday in our nation's capital in Washington, they're saying that they are gonna try to get Josh Dotson more involved. This is like the young kid out of TCU. He's been injury prone in the past, okay, but it looks like they're gonna try and get him involved. I actually think that this is bad news for Terrell Prior, not as bad for Jamison Crowder because he's still more that kind of underneath possession guy. But Dotson is in the mold of Prior, the big guy who they could

target in the red zone. They want to get him more involved. Keep an eye on that if Kirk Cousins targets him a little bit more on Monday Night. I'm also getting word that after missing the last couple of weeks, it looks like when the Smallwood may come back for the Philadelphia Eagles. He expects to play, coming back from a knee injury. I wonder what the impact will be on le Garrett Blunt. Remember he's had something of a

renaissance and a second chance there. But if Smallwood is back, I think he's viable flex especially in PPR as he was getting some of that Darren Sproles work out of the backfield. Also no surprise here, but the d r C. The Dominic Rogers Crow Marty suspension for the New York Giants is over. Seems like they got through it. They are one and oh with him suspended. Ironically enough, Jamis Winston, they say he won't throw until later on this week. I don't think he's going to play. I think he's

gonna sit this week. I think it's gonna be ryanthan Fitzpatrick against the Bills for the Bucks. Remember Golden Tate struggling with the same kind of injury to his a C joint in his shoulder. But he's not a quarterback and they've already ruled him out for a couple of weeks, so I don't think James is gonna go, but they are saying he's not gonna throw at least until later on in the week. And I gotta let you guys know, Zeke Elliott was here in New York City in the

courtrooom today. He's looking a file it sounds like for a restraining order to try and stay this so he could still be on the field. Remember, I get caught up in all this legal mumbo jumbo. I actually ultimately think he is going to play moving forward, but we shall see. It looks like this cloud is gonna be hovering over Zeke. And then also the hot ads that

are Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris all week. All right, let's keep it moving here to Tuesday, and I'm gonna tell you who I like as my hot ads at each position. But first, you know, I'm on Twitter trying to answer your guys questions all the time, and you hear things like trending Tuesdays, and let me tell you something First of all, I tell you all the time, guys, I am overjoyed by the likes. You know, remember if

you're on YouTube, it that thumbs up right now. I'm overjoyed by the follows, by the questions, by the positive reviews. Thanks so much for the love and the props. Right, But I really believe it's part of the cipher here in the Fantasy Freestyle, and you guys really make the show contributing with the nicknames. I remember contributing also with the trade of Achiem Hunt instead of Kareem Hunt for Leonard four net straight up. And let me tell you something.

It started when that Kansas City play at the end of the Monday night football game, and I asked you guys to like send me your bad beats that happened, and and and and I was flooded, you know, with dozens of people who really lost by a point or less because of like the Chris Thompson and fumble or the Kansas City touchdown. And it happened again that Derrick Henry to touchdown and garbage time at the end, when, to be honest, the right play was to just get

down and have the clock run out. It changed the point spread. The Titans were able to cover because of that, and I know it hurt some of your matchups today, Like a lot of people hit me up on Twitter with the hashtags stats over beats, and I love it. If you're gonna follow me, hit me up on Twitter at hashtags stats over beats. Let's get that trending. But also I realized, I say, we say it all the time in football, it's a game of inches, not the game of thrones, but a hashtag game of inches. So

I want what I want now on Tuesdays. Let's see if we can get it trending. Is send me if you think you really got burned by something, give me a hashtag at spitting speeds, give me a hashtag game of inches if you really got burned and you only lost by like less than a point, and it was one of these last ridiculous plays, like a Derek Henry touchdown. I had my man at so Coed Johnson for example. He was telling me that he went to bed up by only three points with his opponent had Delaney Walker

and a half point PPR. Apparently Delaney Walker only got like two and a half points and he woke up and one hashtag game of inches, right, But I think there's better opportunities. Like, let's say you were playing Delaney Walker and you lost by less than a point and it was because of that batted pass. Because I was playing against de Laney Walker last night and there was a Mario the Past that got batted up in the air by alignment and fell right into Delaney Walker's arms.

And if you were playing like a half point PPR and you lost by point six, that would be a perfect hashtag game of inches. So hit me up at spinning speeds with your worst tails and we'll give a big time shout out to uh. You know, I don't want to know the winner, but the biggest loser, shall we say on tomorrow's show, hit me up at spitting speeds and here's here's the here's the bar. Okay, Because I was, I was talking to my boys in my

home league, and here's the bar. My man, I was checking the record book because there was a really close matchup in my league this week. Someone won by point oh eight points, less than a tenth of a point two passing yards in points per uh yards per point in settings. And when we were checking to see if that was the closest matchup of all time and it was not. Okay, it was not. It turns out that

um there was like a point oh one. There was a point one or something like that, and I remember it because I was on the I was on the good side of it. My friend told me that he had Tony Romo and they were he was winning by like it was like he was winning by you know, just like point two or something. And at the last series of the game, Tony Romo took to kneel down and they wound up losing by point one. He wound up losing to me. But that is the bar. Okay,

that's what we're talking about. Hashtag game of inches. Hit me up on Twitter at spitting speed. I'm gonna try and do this is a weekly thing on Tuesdays when we're talking about reflecting on what happened. Now that the matchups are done, if there's any stack correct is out there, I want to see who got burned the most, and we will at least give you, uh, you know, a little bit of a silver lining by shouting you out on tomorrow's show as we drop stats over beats here

on the Fantasy Freestyle. So hit me up on Twitter at spitting speeds, you know, hashtag game of inches, and we can see if we can get that going. And also as you hit hollering at me if we get a call, right, if we do something here on the show, you know here on the cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle, hashtag stats overbeats because the cipher here is real strong. I really appreciate people chiming in and really being part

of the show. But as we keep it moving here, as we go on to week seven, whether it was a hashtag game of inches for you or not, I gotta tell you how are you gonna respond? Okay, there's some opportunity on the waiver wire, and I know some people are getting ready for their claims for their fab budget. So let me tell you what I like. Let's start off. Let's start at the running back position. A lot of people. One of the highest guys added right now is Orleans

dark Walk. He's owned in twelve percent of leagues right now. And yeah, he runs hard, and people like what he did against Denver. What was the number one run defense, the number one defense in the NFL. I am not, I repeat not, I'm gonna spend my fab budget. I'm not gonna spend my waiver priority on our leasing dark Wall. Yeah he ran hard, but listen, I'm he's still behind that offensive line. I'm still fading that Giant's offensive line. There still will Wayne Gallman in the mix, There's still

Paul Perkins who will eventually come back. And like I said, this, this team, they're gonna throw the ball. I don't care who's that wide out for them. Eli Manning is going to still throw the ball. I think this is a running, throwing offense. So I'm not on Orleans dark Wall. We talk about the Dallas Cowboy running backs a lot of people. We gotta pull question up, and a lot of people are asking me on Twitter, what about trading Zeke Elliott?

What about Darren McFadden. Listen, I personally believe that Zeke Elliott will be the running back for the Cowboys moving forward this season. If I had to pick one of them, I would favor Darren McFadden over Alfred Morris. I think he's just got a little bit more are left in the tank. I think behind that offensive line, which is no longer the best in football, in my opinion, I think Alfred Morris is three yards and a cloud of dust.

I think Darren McFadden is the guy if you go that way, but I'm telling you right now, I still think the answer is Ezekiel Elliott. Four percent of leagues have Chris Ivory already owned, and I think listen if you need a one week starter. More importantly, if you are a Leonard four net owner, I think you need to look at Chris Ivory, mostly because of the way

they are running Leonard four Nett into the ground. This is a guy who went leg foot ankle injuries in college at l s U and now they're tweaking them. They've gotta buy next week Jacksonville does. I wouldn't be surprised if they tell Leonard Fournette to chill real quick they're playing. I believe it is the Cleveland Browns if they don't think they can get that done with their formula without Leonard Fournett and in that case, Chris Ivory,

who's been running well for them as his handcuff. If you own four NET, I think you need to scoop up Ivory. I love Derrick Henry at six owned. I think that ownership is gonna go up. I told you the Monday night football trick. You should have had a speculative ad on him. He's about owned in two thirds

of leagues. So if you're at the bar right now, and a lot of people are at Rock and Riley's here in midtown Manhattan studio outside of Studio thirty four walking watching the Alcs right now, you got the Astro still up three nothing on the Yanks that that game has moved to the bottom of the six. If you're in that bar right now, one of you is an own league where you can get Derrick Henry. I say do it, all right, I say do it. I like Derrick Henry, especially with DeMarco Murray looking like he has

some tweet tam string. Moving forward, the last running back I'll give you. Check to see if when the small Wood is available, he's available in two thirds of leagues. The Eagles are back at it. He is back at it after that knee injury. I think he was that PPR option, remember taking that Darren sprowls and he also got carries. He also got touchdowns on the ground, so it's not all a Garrett Blunt and I like that Eagles offense. Okay, So check to see if when the

small Wood is available. I like him as a viable flex play in PPR leagues. When we come back, here's what we're gonna do. Gonna tell you about white out. I'm gonna tell you about the tight ends that you could add moving forward for a week seven and your fat budget, your waiver of priority. And then we're gonna open up the phone lines. You know the number at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine will help you with your fat budget, your waiver wires.

As we hashtag drop stats over beats, it's the Fantasy Freestyle in 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 in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app F and t s Y Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven. The best Fantasy sports on ten is on

the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. One two, three of the four you know what it is. Spit in speeds is at the dough. All right, let's go to back here we are on the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports radio network. You know what it is, hashtag stats over beats. I'm telling you about my hot ads on the waiver wire. I told you what's running backs. I like. Listen, check out Derrick Henry. He's about home,

but check it out. It's worth it. I like Whendel Smallwood coming back from a knee injury because mostly I like that Eagles offense on Monday Night against Washington, and I'm not big on Orleans dark Wall. Okay, I don't buy that Giant's offensive line, and I still think that the Giants are gonna try to win by throwing the ball. We got a couple of people out here Studio thirty four Rock and Riley's waving to me. What they're also doing is blocking the TV. Right now, I'm trying to

see the a LCS. The Astros are up on the Yanks three. Nothing. But that's okay. Uh, you know this team has heart. We'll see what happens, um all right. I also mentioned listen, Chris Ivory is a legitimate pickup as a handcuff Leonard Fournette. But I also don't think four nets necessarily gonna go this week with that ankle Andry. Let me tell you about some of the wide receivers. Okay, I think the wide receivers in Tennessee or all of a sudden interesting. Eric Decker, he had one good game,

he's owned. He's not the guy I'm looking at. I'm looking at the rookie stud who's supposed to be back pretty soon. That's Corey Davis. And Corey Davis has only owned in two of leagues. I think you need to go out and get him over Eric Decker. If you want a Titans wide receiver, this is the guy that

you know everyone thinks has the skill. And if Mariota has to keep on trying to win from the pocket and throwing the ball, standing and delivering, and if DeMarco Murray has that hamm me anytime banged up, I think Corey Davis could be an option in Tennessee. Also Nelson Agalore. Alright, I've been off Nelson Agila for so long. I was I was making fun of Nelson Aghalore at the beginning of the season. He's been putting it into my eye

the last couple of weeks. Okay, I remember telling you guys, as this Philadelphia offense transitions to become one of these, like some is greater than their parts. It's Nelson aglor that's really doing what a lot of people thought at the beginning of the season Tori Smith was gonna do. Nelson Agalre has become the poor man's DeShawn Jackson for Philly.

He's the one that's getting the big play. So if you like Will Fuller you know, and what he can do, and you like DeShawn Jackson and what he can do, then you got out of like Nelson Aghaloor as well. And I like this Eagles offense. He's only owned in fifty five percent of leagues. I gotta tell you this though, right now, my number one ad and waiver wires if you can. He's only fifty owned. It's a sterling Shepherd of these New York Giants, who I still say will

be a passing offense. Shepherd is gonna come back sometime pretty soon, and when he does, he will be the number one wide receiver for the Giants. Go on and check. He's only owned in fifty two percent of leagues. That means if you're watching the game at the bar right now with one of your friends, one of you is in allegue where you can go out and put a claim on for Sterling Shepherd or potentially get him tomorrow after the waiver wire runs. I like that. I know

they gotta buy this week. But also remember, if Golden Tate is out, think about Marvin Jones. Marvin Jones is owned, that's gonna be directly tied to Golden Tate's availability. Okay, if Golden Tate is out, then I think Marvin Jones kissing assume that role. But otherwise I would I would fade it. Okay. My top guys are Corey Davis, Nelson Agawa,

and Stowing Shephard. I don't necessarily buy Marvin Jones. A lot of people are looking to add Benny Fowler thinking that Manny Sanders has banged up for a couple of weeks. I'm not one of them. I would like to see him as the next man up first because also remember Trevor Simeon is a little banged up with that shoulder as well. And remember, if you're looking for a Tennessee wide receiver, I'm actually going Corey Davis, not Eric Dedecker at the tight end spot. Let me tell you something,

it's pretty much the same guys. I told you about these guys last week. That was one of my shots that I called right in this last week. These tight ends. I gave you Evan Ingram, he's now up to six. That gave you Austin Safari and Jenkins. He's now up to sixty three percent owned. I gave you even um Austin Hooper if knew was out. He's now up to fift owned after his seven catch performance. I even gave you Zach Miller, who got a touchdown and I think

could be doing some things with the new quarterback. But let me give you two other ones. One it's coming off there by is the Cincinnati Bengals. I like Tyler Croft. He's only ten percent owned. Over the bye, we got word that Tyler Eiffert is in fact going to be uh having back surgery and likely gonna miss the rest of the season. I tell you, fantasy is all about opportunity and skill. I don't know if the skill is there, but the opportunity is there for the Cincinnati tight end.

I like Tyler Croft to maybe be that next weapon along with A. J. Green in the passing game. You know Andy Dalton likes the tight end. I think Tyler Croft is a viable ad if you're searching at tight end. Okay, and I know a lot of people are searching at tight end because there's been a lot of injuries. Speaking of tight end injuries, one guy that I like, you would have to stash him for a little bit. But

don't forget about Charles Clay. I've been high on Charles Clay before, but his ownership percentage has gone way down, way down to twenty. If you could handle carrying a second tight end through these buys, Charles Clay is gonna be back, and he's gonna likely be a guy who leads the bills and targets. You know, I've been on them. His ownership has gone down. I'm not saying picking up up now because he's probably gonna miss the next two,

maybe even three games. But if you have a spot where you could stash someone, if that speculative ad that you did on Monday Night Football didn't work and you got another place to go, think about Charles Clay as well. If you're in a position where you could look to the future a little bit. I like Charles Clay. And then when we talk real quick before we get to the phone line, let me talk real quick about these

quarterbacks because we had to change in San Francisco. C J. Bethord, Like, if you're in a deep and this is like deep leagues, this is two quarterback leagues, this is super flex leagues. Bethord is only one percent owned, But why why do that? Kaiser and Hogan? But why why do that? Brett Hunley, on the other hand, he is two percent owned. He has a dynamic set of weapons around him. He doesn't

have what c. J. Bethard has around him. He's got Jordy Nelson, he's got Randall Cobb, He's got Davante Adams, he's got Time Montgomery, he's got the Black Unicorn. I wouldn't be surprised if they can still be in above average an average to above average offense with Brett Hunley under steer. He's only two owned. Listen, it could be worse,

and especially if you're an Aaron Rodgers owner. Before everybody is trying to give you offers for pennies on the dollar, take a look and see if you could get Brett Hunley. I'd be very interested to see, at least in this first week, what he can do at home against the New Orleans Saints. I don't think it is a horrible matchup, and I think he's got good talent around him. I think it could be not the worst thing. Let's put it that way. The other quarterback, I'll give you again.

If you're in two quarterbacks leagues, if you're in super flex leagues, if you need to stash someone, consider who I think will be the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings in the second half of the season. And it's Teddy Bridgewater. If you want to know the God's honest truth. All right, here we go. Let's get to the calls. Here at the number of the call as you know, called him and now it's Mr Cleo. It's eight four or four

eight four, three six, eight seven nine. We kick it off today on the Fantasy Freestyle hashtag dropping stats over beats. It's Reese in Los Angeles. Reese, you're in l A. You want to talk about wide receivers on the waiver wire. I told you about some of the ones I like. But let's talk a little bit about your situation moving forward. Hey, you have to first up today on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help you? Um? Yeah, I actually have Hawkins on the body this week, I'm looking at receiver

to plug in. Um Well, I got punches on the waivers, and I got on the waivers. I always have Prior in Ammndola on my roster. All right, thanks for the call, man Um. I like both Functious and a glare over Terrell Prior. Listen, if you have Terrell Prior on your roster, Reese, you know you know that he has underperformed. We are now halfway through the regular season. I heard my boys Joe Pisapia and Jake Celia earlier on on Target Fantasy talking about it's time to cut bait on certain people. Okay,

I would pick up Functious over Terrell Prior. I would pick up a galore over Terrell Prior. Yes, I think you need to make both of those moves. I understand the name value. You probably invested a draft pick in Terrell Prior. But I gotta tell you, Reese, yes, it is time to cut bait on Terrell Prior, and I like Functious or Agalore better than t P three. Let's keep it moving here. On the Fantasy Freestyle hashtag stats over beats Pete Peter's in Staten Island, Shall Lynn what's

going on? Man? How could I help you out before waiver wires run tomorrow? Pete? Yeah, we're in a lot of trouble here. Um Uh, you know I called you a couple of weeks back, and uh, if you remember when Mariotto went out, I made a big trade and I got Rochers, I'm like to kiss his death. But in any rate, now I have no quarter after all. Okay, Now, I let me give you a list of who I could pick up here. I got Blake, Bortles, mccowns. That's

hurt Keenum, you I uh need I say more than that. No, that's not a great situation, pat Pete, that's not the best, Pete. But here's what I'll tell you. Here's what I'll tell you. Okay, I'm gonna tell you two guys on that list, but at two and a half that I think are okay. The first is case Keenum. Okay, I think Case Keenum is not actually a horrible guy. Okay, especially when we know he's gonna be under center for the foreseeable future like McKinnon out of the past game there. I like

what he's doing with um Adam Feeling. I don't think he Case Keenum is horrible. Case Keenum would be somewhere there. I would go. The other place that I think you can go you talked about it is Brett Hunley. I wouldn't go with her right away, but I want to

see what Brett Hunley can do with these weapons. You know what he had as Aaron, As an Aaron Rodgers owner, I think it's possible that Hunley could be a mid level to uh like number twenty on the quarterback ranks, which, to be quite honest, is higher than guys like Bordles and McCown. And the last guy I'll say is Eli Manning. I think Eli Manning continues to be a throw throw, throw volume, throw offense for the New York Giants even without those wide receivers. I think we'll have Evan Ingram

at the tight end. I think we'll have Sterling Shepherd coming back. My top two guys of that list would be Case Keenum in Minnesota and Eli Manning for the New York Football Giants. But the beauty, you know your season long. You lose a guy like Aaron Rodgers, you lose a guy like Dalvin Cook, you lose a guy like Odell Beckham. That's not the case in DFS, okay, And in DFS we are offering right now free entry as a collaboration with d k MS to help fight

blood cancer. Go on over to Daily Rhodo dot com. Go on over to Rhodo Experts dot com and you can enter for free a DFS contest. You ain't gonna worry about Aaron Rodgers this week because you know you could find someone else you're not, as you know, emotionally attached to it. And if you win that, you can go to week seventeen in the finals. And if you win that DFS contest, remember this is all free. You go, you get two tickets to Super Bowl fifty two in Minnesota.

But the beauty of it is you can learn how you can save a life. You learn a little bit more about how you can help the fight against blood cancer. You could register to be a blood donor, you could register to be a bone marrow donor. And even if you lose in these DFS contests, you can still save a life. Okay, we're gonna get back to the phones.

How can we help you? Holly? First, I just gotta say thank you so much, like you really helped me get that push, that win with that switch out with McKinnon and when I'm put him on a bench and started full of over him and it worked out well for me. But as always, once again, it's like I'm a week week by week uh winning here, I'm streaming every week. I was one the struggle. Yeah, it's real.

So basically, uh, I am gonna drop prior. I want to know about my running back because I have a Melbourne Golden c J Anderson, uh, Duke Johnson, James White and McKinnon. I don't know. I don't know, um if they're gonna carry me on a week by week basis. Um, it is people out there on the way. But while I just want to just kind of get your opinion, Um, should I stay put? Yeah, no problem I would. Uh And I'm not cutting you off. Don't worry about it.

You can get back in it, Holly. I'm gonna tell you, first of all, I agree with that advice to drop r L Prior. It's like at some point you gotta cut Bait, and I think that time is now. He's been struggling for half of your regular fantasy football season, so I would in fact cut Bait on TP three. I agree read with what those guys are saying as it relates to your running backs. You have some decent

running backs. I'd be starting Gordon and McKinnon week in week out, and I think you have some other talent there as well. I would stay put Listen every time when we talk about running the waivers. People people like to have itchy trigger fingers. There's also a beautiful thing. You don't have to do it every week, Okay. And I'm even a bigger proponent of this now, Holly, because listen,

as you know, injuries have ravaged everybody this year. So moving up in the waiver for priority is not a bad thing this way, because you're okay right now at running back, Holly. In my opinion, I think you're okay at running back. So I actually think the better course of action because what are you gonna do. You're gonna pick up an Orleans dark Wall, You're gonna pick up a Darren McFadden and then find out that Zeke Elliott

is still playing. What I would do if I'm in your situation, is take a little bit break of tinkering and raise up in that waiver priority so that when you really need it, when someone gets hurt on your team, then you can snatch the replacement that you need. That's the way I would play at Holly. I dropped roll prior, but I also think you are okay at running back. But Holly, feel free to call back at any time. You know you're a friend of the show here on

the Fantasy Freestyle. Thanks for the call. How's that sound though, Holly, Thank you, thank you. I had no problem hollyback anytime. Let's go to Caleb in Louisiana. We're going down to the buy you for Caleb where they stand up and get crunk in the dome. Hey Caleb, you're dropping stats with beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help? What's up? Man? How you doing? How you doing? Oh? Good? Uh? Well, I'm not so good after the weekend because I just

lost Aaron Rodgers. But I just made a trade to get with Russell Wilson, so that came out great. But I wanted to know if I should pick up a back in quarterback on the waivers or anything, because that's my only quarterback is Russell Wilson. Um, listen, listen, Caleb Russell has already had his by. They had are by already, right, And so I mean, who are your options out there? I'm fine with having Russell be your only quarterback and starting him week to week. I I don't find any

big time problem with that. I think that's okay. But who are we talking about and who would you be dropping for him? Tell me some of these quarterbacks Jared Golf, Carson Palmer, uh Bread uh the new quarterbacks for Green Bay Bred Hunley, I forgot it, yeah him uh. And that's basically the top priorities right now is them three? And then who okay and Dalton as well? Who's the last guy like on your on your bench, who's your worst like wide out, tight end or receiver? Well, my

bench is pretty stagged, but I have Prior. That's the one I would drop r L Prior, I would drop tor L Prior, and I would do it for either Golf or Palmer. If you're worried about if you're worried about Russell as your only quarterback and you're worried about maybe him going down where you worried about him being ineffective. If you heard me with Holly the last caller, I think it's time to cut bait on Terrell Prior. You have listen. You just said at yourself. You say your

bench is stacked. If if Terrell Prior has been on your team, you know he's been defecating the mattress on a weekly basis. Okay, so why why like wait for him? Okay, so your insurance policy, I would go. I would go Carson Palmer, then Jared Goff and yes, if you're feeling a little you know, skittitch about Russell, I would in fact drop Terrell Prior for either Palmer or Jared Goff. I hope that helps you, Caleb, and I hope that team stays stacked and keep doing your things. Anytime. Welcome

back anytime on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go to Chris. Chris is in Tampa. Chris and Tampa. You are now hashtag dropping stats over beats. How can we help you out? As we were on rate Waiver wire for week seven, Martine Man, thanks for having me again on this show. Man anytime, what's up? I say? Thanks also for grinding it out every week you're doing it. That you're doing it. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Yes, sir, so I need to win this one this week, man, I need

to win. I'm looking for the stream of quarterback. Watson is on the bench and you know this week on streaming for quarterbacks name all right, what are your options? What are your options? Roethlisberger, Palmer, by Keenum Hunley all right, and it's the other one's account. Here's what I'm going you know, listen, the only thing, remember we talked about the last caller talked about Palmer and golf as well. The only thing that gives me hesitation about those guys

is they're going to London. Weird things happen in London. To me, teams are not on their a game. And here the two guys, I'll tell you that I think are okay, okay um. I think Case Keenum is serviceable on a week to week kind of basis. They're at Baltimore, so that's not the best matchup. But here's the other one. Give me big Ben, Give me big big Ben. Everybody was thinking that he's like, oh, does he have it anymore or does he have the desire is he done. All he did was come back and get a win

where no one else has all year. I think they're starting to settle down a little bit in Pittsburgh. Okay, they've got Cincinnati, I think, um, I think big Ben could be a guy. And you know, you at least have Antonio Brown. You know he's gonna produce. I think they figured something out with Jujuice Smith Schuster over Martavis Bryant. And you're also gonna get production with Levian Bell in

the past game as well. Okay, so I think I think big Ben could be an option if you lost Watson and you need to stream, I think big Ben could be a team that And remember they're better at home, and they are at home week seven, so that's where I would go. I'd go big Ben Roethlisberg. Every file with you, Chris, Thanks for the call, and thanks for the props. I am grinding every week, man, I'm trying to help y'all win your league's and win that cash.

But like I said at the top of the show, man, I am overwhelmed by the props and the and the and the follows and the likes. Remember hit that hit that thumbs up button right there. The positive reviews on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app keep them coming. It really helps us out and I really enjoyed that we're building the site for Here is a strong on community helping each other with things like trading Akim Hunt convincing someone it's Kareem Hunt for Leonard four Nett straight up.

We keep it moving here. On the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Simon Simon down there in Atlanta. I love the matchup for Maddie Ryan this week. Maddie Maddie Day yellow against the Patriots, bad pass off past defense on Sunday night. Simon, you're up next on a Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help you that speeds? What's up? Scott? Word that zeke uh restraining order was granted? Chefster just tweeted, Yeah, I mean that's possible. We're seeing We're seeing a lot

of report by coming out right now. In a commercial break, I'm gonna investigate a little bit more. But remember I said the whole time Zeke would still be live. So Simon, that's what you're saying. The injunction is granted, he's now still back in eligible to play, right, That's exactly what I've been saying the whole time. People need to listen. That's what I'd be staying here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Simon,

go ahead, what's your question? Um, I've Ed Dixon right now and at tight End, and I was wondering if I should. I'm looking at my waiver options right now and I've got guys like George Kittle, UM, Tyler Croft and Doyle. Do you like any of those guys over yeah, Carolina tight End? Yeah, I do. Actually, thank you very much for the call, and thank you very much for the scoop Simon out there. Yes, I like Borge, George Kittle, and Tyler Croft over Ed Dixon. I don't believe Ed

Dixon is a real thing. He had one huge game for Carolina against the Lions, was okay last week. I think it's functious that gets a lot of that work as they move on. I like Kittle or Croft over your boy Ed Dixon. But as you heard him say, and I'm getting confirmation now from my boys downstairs as well, it looks like Zeke is going to play. I told you this before a long time ago. I told you if you had Darren mcfagh and if you had Alfred Morris. You needed to sell them while you could. I told

you Zeke Elliott was gonna play. I told you not to sell him for pennies on the dollar. I told you that's what we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle. We are ahead of the curve A we got time with one. Oh no, we dropped. So we're all good. We are all good on calls, thanks to everybody. But we're gonna do when we come back. We're gonna check in on the poll. We're gonna check it on the Yankee Game. We're gonna bet to get to get the best questions from the YouTube stream from my man Chris,

the analyst Ventra. And I also gotta tell you earlier today, I know how everybody cares about my boy Ted Finn Jr. Earlier today apparently the Fantasy Sports Network water police came in and changed his water. My boy Ted Finn looking pretty good. Let me know how he looks with the lighting over here on Twitter on YouTube, let us know. When we come back, we're gonna get a question from Chris and we're gonna check in on the poll. Thanks for all the calls today and the scoop. Zeke is playing.

I told you so, guys, Come on, you know what it is. We're dropping stats over beats. It's the fantasy freestyle with your boy speeds spitting statistician Dame Martinez. Come all right back fantasy freestyle. I am not, I repeat, not gonna spend my fat budget on Orleans Dark While. Yeah, he ran hard, but he's still behind that offensive line. I'm still facating that Giant's offensive line. There's still Wayne Gallman in the mix. There's still Paul Perkins, who will

eventually come back. And like I said, this team they're gonna throw the wall. I don't care who's that wide out for them. Eli Manning is going to still throw the ball. I think this is a running, throwing offense. So I'm not on Orleans Dark While weekdays from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle dropping statu over BT here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We got a lot of buzz on Twitter, but we are

going check this out. It looks like and and this is the funniest way. I You know, what this means to me is how the legal process really doesn't care about your fantasy football team. Okay, because no, we are now in fact getting word that, yes, Zeke Elliott will be able to play. Breaking news. The NFL cannot suspend Zeke until the judge on the case comes back from vacation. Okay, the judges on vacation, and so they're not gonna rule. So until that happens, Zeke can play. Okay, And that's

what we're hearing right now. We're also getting like my man Maddie Modica, Mr. Wall Street over there, he's saying that this can now get pushed back. Zeke might ultimately get suspended ultimately when the dust settles, Okay, but this might not happen for now another two or three weeks, thus pushing the cloud firmly into the fantasy playoffs. My position remains the same. I personally do not go out and think that Darren McFadden or Alfred Morris is the guy, okay,

because they're behind what is a decreased offensive line. Anyway, I think Zeke Elliott is ultimately going to play this week in San Francisco. I think he's gonna play for the next couple of weeks. What we're hearing now is that listen the judge who needed to rule on this officially is on vacation, okay, and that is why the uh, the injunction is on like kind of still on hold.

And all that being said, when we cut through the mumbo jumbo of the legal ease, it sounds to us like, in fact, because this judge is on vacation, we kicked the can down the road. And actually what now stands is that Zeke Elliott will in fact be able to play. That's what we're hearing over here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And I think it's hysterical that it's because the judges on vacation. So this judge's vacation is more

important than your fantasy football team. That's what it comes down. I'm reading it right here from a number of sources. It's coming in on Twitter. A lot of places are reporting it right now. We have breaking news here at the end of the show here on the Fantasy Freestyle. It does look like Ezekiel Elliott will in fact be able to play. I'm now seeing it on Rhodo World as well. He has been granted another temporary restraining order by the Southern District of New York and will be

allowed to play in week seven. Let me say it again. Okay, this is coming on Rodal World and a number of places I'm seeing across on my Twitter time feed. I'm gonna read it one more time for you. Ezekiel Elliott has been granted another temporary restraining order by the Southern District of New York and will be allowed to play in week seven. This is what I told you guys about I told you if you had Alfred Morris, if you had Darren McFadden, it was the time to sell

high because their stock was never gonna be higher. Now we hear that Zeke Elliott will in fact be able to play. Here's the thing, this restraining order. It sounds like this is a quote unquote fill in judge because the real judges on vacation for two weeks. Can you believe that? So that means this is gonna be pushed back for another two weeks, So that means Zeke could still get suspended. Then if we push it back two weeks,

that's six games. Yeah, that would be weeks like ten through fifteen, right in the heart of your push for the Fantasy playoffs. But if you ask me, speaks the spitting statistician. I don't think this is gonna happen. They're gonna kick the can down the road. Influence will be applied by the big boss man down there Jerry's world. And if this ever goes down, it's gonna go down in the first four, two or six games next season. Allah, Tom Brady, If you're a Zeke Elliott owner, I told

you to not sell. If you were an Alfred Morris or Darren McFadden owner, I told you to sell. I think this is going to continue to go. It looks like I know it's crazy with the legal leads, but it looks like he's at least at this point. Okay for week seven and okay for a week eight. What happens after that is anybody's guest, but we'll be here to talk about it on the Fantasy Freestyle. Anyready got some some submissions for hashtag Game of innches as well.

We'll see what's the best one is tomorrow the YouTube questions I'm sorry, we have to talk Zeke. We'll get you tomorrow eight for four eight, four, three, six, eight, seven nine with your boy Dane Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle. See y'all tomorrow
