Week 8 takeaways and implications!

It should point 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 to anybody listening on I Heart Radio on tune In Radio. If you're watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network YouTube live stream, you see that we are in the hollow in spirit here at Studio thirty four. It is a big time Monday.

As Week eight of the NFL season comes to a close, we gotta kick off in about an hour and a half down there in Arrowhead as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos get it going in an a f C West matchup. That is a rivalry that will really go a long way to determine who the true contenders are out west. Here's what we're gonna get going today. Okay, First of all, we're gonna give you my takeaways, my

trends from week eight. We're gonna talk about the biggest things that I saw yesterday in the National Football League. We'll tell you the stuff that I got right. And there are a couple of things in week eight that you really needed to listen to, your boy the spitting statistician on because I hooked you up. There are also some things that I gotta admit I got it wrong. Some people put it straight in my eye, like Deshaun Watson, for example. We're gonna talk about him. Boy, are we

gonna talk about him? Because listen, this guy may in fact be one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL before you know it. Okay, it's very surprising to hear what Richard Sherman had to say after that matchup in the Pacific Northwest. As you know, Richard Sherman is not quick to praise others. Uh, stay tuned to hear what he had to say about Deshaun Watson. Also, did you guys see World Series Game five last night? This series has been absolutely epic. I talked about it as the

three true outcomes. The other thing is has the pendulum swung a little too far on going to the bullpen and looking at the analytics. Let me tell you something. You had Clayton Kershaw on the mound with a big time lead, Why go to your bullpen? You had in game too, Rich Hill going four innings and throwing the

ball real well, why go to the bullpen? Kenley Jansen has been giving it up for the Dodgers, and these astros in their number one offense and baseball continue to impress as young kids Sports illustrated and your boys speeds. The spitting Statistician had these astros in the World Series in two thousand seventeen, and boy are they delivering. Also, you're gonna get my preview for Monday Night Football. Remember there's a little trick that I always like to tell

you about going into Monday Night Football. I'm gonna tell you who to use it on in tonight's game. And as always, we've got a pole question up. We got two on Monday's Who was your diamond in the rough four week eight? Who was the person that was owned in less than fifty percent of leagues that helped you get a win, and if we do diamonds in the rough, you know we got the Fantasy fool days. He's as well,

who do you need to forget about? After we ate, I'll let you know with hashtag dropping SATs over beats. It's a Fantasy freestyle with your boy to spitting statistician right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. When we come back injury reports and my trends from week eight, you know what it is, Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go. Hey, I'm Melissa and I'm Joe and where the interns. The Fantasy Sports Radio Network and d k

MS want to send you to Minnesota this February. All you do have to do is play our Big Game Tribua Challenge sponsored by dk and 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 Tribua Challenge sponsored by DKs only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to Fantasy Freestyle right here in

the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You should play Dane Martinez holding you down on a Monday as we can conclude Week eight. I know some of you guys may and and gals. I know some of you guys and gals may still have your matchup up for debate. Remember, starting tomorrow, we're gonna do that hashtag Game of Inches. I got hit up on Twitter with a couple of early nominees. We'll talk about that a little bit later on the show. Let me give you some news and notes from around

the NFL. Zeke Elliott case is supposed to go down today finally being heard by Judge Catherine Falia. This is in the Southern District of New York. Just so that it just so that you guys understand a little bit of the legal EA's right, he's got a six game suspension on on the table right. What he is filing for here is and a temporary injunction on that six game suspension, And if he gets the injunction, then he can play, you know, until that case is finally hurt.

I believe that's what's gonna happen. I believe the ultimate decision will happen in the off season, and Ezekiel Elliott will infect miss games, but it will be at the start of next season. So when you guys are asking me, listen, Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris, you know Rod Smith, even um, I think Zeke is gonna play, And boy did he looked like a bell cow and a workhorse yesterday in our nation's capital in the rain, a hundred fifty yards career high in attempts, and he got into the end

zone as well, really helping people win that cash. Also in that same game, Jordan Reed continues to be made of glass. I call him like the comic book guy, Mr Glass right, because you can't trust him. He tweeked the hammy early in that game, and he already thinking that they do not expect him to play in Week nine for the Washington football team. But that was not the biggest injury to a tight end. Yesterday, Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller dislocated his knee, but he did

other damage in there. They're talking about our artery damage. They are having surgery. He had surgery overnight. They say to quote unquote save his leg. His leg was in danger because of the severity of that injury. They're trying to save his leg literally with this vascular surgery. They're saying that, you know, the surgery has happened and that it went well, but he's not out of the woods. Left. We're not talking about the man's career, We're talking about

the man's way of life. Okay, football continues to be a very dangerous games. So we're all out there thinking about Zach Miller. The crazy part is it happened on a play that was ruled a touchdown and then after instant replay was taken away from him. Doesn't look like he's gonna be playing for the Bears anytime soon. Davonte Freeman also left that game against the Jets with us what they're calling a stinger in his shoulder. They're saying

he's gonna be limited this week in practice. Remember practice reports will come out on Wednesday. Expect DeVante Freeman to be limited or not practicing this week, but they think he'll be good to go for next Sunday. We also remember the trading deadline is tomorrow. I told you guys about this. There are now reports out there that the Colts would move t Why Hilton. That could be a prize for some team that is a contender that needs a little bit of help at the wide receiver position.

As it is looking more and more like Andrew Luck will not play at all this season. They've already ruled out Andrew Luck for Week nine. But your boy speeds. The spitting statistician told you this at the beginning of the season. I don't think he was going to play all season long. Um. Also in the same vein with the trading deadline happening in Pittsburgh, you guys know about this. His head coach Mike Tomlin has said he is on shore of Martavis Bryant's role moving forward. Are they gonna

trash him? I mean, are they gonna trade him? I don't think so. Are they gonna stash him deep, deep, deep on their bench? That's what I think is going to happen, And especially after Juju Smith Shoes popped off with the good Juju for the Pittsburgh Steelers in a hundred ninety three yards and a touchdown in Sunday Night Football. Okay, Also, you got some teams, remember six teams are coming off a bye last week, right, so you've got some other

guys that are now rejoining practice after the bye. Leonard four Nette is back practicing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He should be back after there by Sterling Shepherd and his ankle injury. He should be back practicing practicing today. For the New York Football Giants, Davante Parker, he should be back. Remember the Dolphins got a goose seig. They were blunt guts trash on Thursday Night Football. They're saying he should be be back for Week nine. Same with their quarterback

Jay Cutler. Also interesting to note d D. Westbrook, wide receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is eligible to return from the populist and it looks like he will come back. Here's the only thing, though, what is he going to be the second, the third wide receiver on Jacksonville. You know this team is looking to win games by Runnard Lennon Fournette and utilizing that defense. So I don't really think there's a home on your starting roster, at least

for a guy like de Dy Westbrook. And then over in Tennessee, Delaney Walker didn't practice, but Demarcoma Murray did practice on a limited basis and Corey Davis practice on a limited basis, So those guys, Corey Davis especially might be back for the Titans. He hasn't played since I believe week two. All right, let me talk about week eight and the trends and the big takeaways that I have. First things first, Deshaun Watson. This kid is legit. This

kid is real. He was a little bit of a fool gazzy for me going into week eight, but he put it right in my eye. Okay. I thought on the road in Seattle against that defense, I thought it was gonna be a problem for Deshaun Watson. It certainly was not. Okay, they put up thirty eight points, albeit in a loss. I will tell you this. He did throw three interceptions, including one pick six at least right, but he looked good. He to be honest, he looked

like Russell Wilson, the quarterback on the other side. This is a guy he remained calm the whole time running but only when he has to, not really taking hits. I'm talking about Listen nineteen for thirty four hundred and two yards passing four touchdowns. He also got sixties seven yards in the run game. I thought his wide receivers were gonna get shut down. I thought will Fuller wouldn't be able to be a boom or bus kind of guy that you put in your lineups. Five catches a

hundred twenty five yards, not one, but two touchdowns. DeAndre Hopkins the d Hop after the d Hoppopotamus after not practicing on Friday. Eight catches two hundred and twenty four yards and a touchdown in PPR scoring put up thirty nine points, I believe, the highest point total of anybody so far in Week eight. Although we do have a game left to go with guys that can pop off like Damarius Thomas or maybe Kareem Hunt, we shall see. But d hop the highest scoring player against the Legion

of Boom in yesterday's action. So yeah, let me tell you something. DeShawn Watson. True, stud don't listen to me. Listen to Richard Sherman. Richard Sherman says that Deshaun Watson is going to be a top five quarterback in the league by next year. And he said, yeah, that includes guys like Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Check this out. Deshaun Watson now sixty two of completion percentag DeShawn Watson nineteen touchdowns. Deshaun Watson leads the NFL in q BR This from

a rookie you did not start in Week one. You gotta like that. Here's what I would do. Let me tell you something, because I went ahead and I looked at the schedule for Deshaun Watson. Here are their next couple of games. Next week, they have the Indianapolis Colts at home, fire up DeShawn Watson against that blunt, guts, trash past defense. And the following week at the Los Angeles Rams. They don't scare me. Then the following week

the Arizona Cardinals at home. I know there's Patrick Peterson, right, but he's gonna be on one. Maybe he pops off against DeAndre Hopkins, but you still got Will Fuller and you still got the rushing potential. Then here's where I think it gets different. At Baltimore on Monday Night football in week twelve when you're vying for the fantasy playoffs. But then if you make the fantasy playoffs, he's good for you. Week fourteen because they got the San Francisco

forty niners. I really like that. But then fifteen and sixteen at Jacksonville, I don't know about that, and Pittsburgh I don't know about that. So yes, I love Deshaun Watson. Yes, he put it in my eye in week eight. But the Fantasy semifinals and championship at Jacksonville and Pittsburgh that still causes me some pause. I'm not saying you flip DeShawn Watson or anything like that, but just keep an eye out on that. Here are some things that I got right for you, guys. I told you, guys, don't

ride out Stefon Diggs. I told you with Ken can you digs it? I told you I was a little concerned with him coming back from that groin. In the first game back against the Cleveland Browns, he only had four catches for only twenty seven yards. I also got this Minnesota Vikings team right. I told you they were gonna win going away, that I was okay with the big point spread. But I also told you I did not believe in Latavius Murray. I told you he had that big game in week uh seven, but not to

buy him. He had nineteen carries for thirty nine yards, only two yards per carry, did not get into the end zone. Hopefully you listen to me there. I also got it right about the Chicago and the New Orleans game in terms of that running back room. I told you in Chicago, Jordan Howard was the workhorse. He's still got twenty six touches, tarikoh, and the shine is off

the rows. Okay, only five touches in that game. And I told you that my guys so fresh and so clean, mark Ingram and Alvin Simon and Theodore Kamara were both viable. They both got into the end zone. I told you about the Philadelphia Eagles that they were gonna get past the trap game of the San Francisco forty Niners. They go, they win, to go to seven and one. But I told you this was the week to hop off of Nelson Agilore. I hopefully you did. He only had three

catches for twenty six yards. And I also told you about Joe mix On mix Off, that this could be the week for Joe. And against the Indianapolis Colts, he had ninety one yards in the passing game, so that worked. Also, I'm gonna tell you about a couple of things that didn't go my way in week nine. And then, as always, we're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Holl at your boy. We'll try to help you out get a win.

In Week A from Monday night football, and we'll look ahead to who you need for next week. Hi, Fantasy Freestyle, Come on back 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 ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. Hey, you know what it is. It's the Fantasy Frere style. We're back right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Day Martinez. You know me, a speed spitting statistician, holding you down, getting you ready to look back at week eight and get ready for Monday Night football Chiefs and Broncos. And also look ahead a little bit early to week nine of the NFL and the fantasy football season. I told you about I'm a finally

a believer of Deshaun Watson. I think it's sustainable. I mean like, if you had to have a harder matchup in all of the NFL, wouldn't you say at Seattle against the Legion of Boom is one of the toughest, and this guy did work over four hundred yards four touchdown, sixty seven yards on the ground as well, putting up thirty eight points in Seattle. That was very impressive to me.

I told you about Stefon Diggs as well. Listen, if you were by the way, if you were watching on Sunday morning Wheels line Up, Block Live, it's me, Maria Marino, It's Corey Parson, and it's Emery Hunt. Corey Parson convinced me that I should, in fact insert Stefon Diggs. All week I was telling people that if you can be conservative, go ahead and go someone else, but if you needed the home run play, that you should go with Diggs.

I could have been conservative. I had the Baltimore defense score like thirty five thirty six some odd points for me on Thursday. He convinced me to take out Mohammed Sanu, it's a new day and insert Stefon Diggs and my PPR setting. Stefon Diggs got me like six points. Mohamed Sanu got me like nineteen. That's why you gotta go with your gut. I know the unicorns out there agree.

You gotta go with your gut. Man, you gotta really always lessen You feel free to hit me up on Twitter at spitting speeds, holler at me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. But if you feel something deep in the pit of your soul, go with it. You're gonna kick yourself and the other you know the next day, good lucky enough. I had the Baltimore defen end. I had DeAndre Hopkins, so I was okay. I told you that, I uh, I thought Kamara and Ingram were both viable. They both get in

the end zone. I told you that the Tarry Cohne time is over. He only got five touches. I told you it was the time to start to fade Nelson aghilor that the touchdown streak would not continue. He only got you three catches for twenty six yards. I told you that it was the week that mix on, mix off finally does it. He at ninety one yards in the passing game. I also, however, told you that the Cincinnati Bengals shouldn't be ten point favorites against anybody, and

they sneaked out a one point win against the Indianapolis Colts. Now, besides the Shawn Watson, there are some places where I got it wrong, and I got to admit it before I opened up the phone lines at eight four four eight four three six seven nine, because I don't want people telling me about it. Oh trust me, I know. And the first place was in Oakland or in Buffalo

where the Oakland Raiders played. I told you that I thought Jalen Rochard was going to be a viable guy in place of Marshawn this week, and in fact they went to DeAndre Washington instead. Washington with eight eight scrimmage yards or yards from scrimmage, eight catches and a touchdown that was better than the five for fifty six that Jalen Richard put up. I must admit it. Amari Cooper, who as we know, put up forty four points against uh my better judgment a couple of weeks ago. You

know he didn't have another dumpster fire game. I thought he was gonna fully regress. Five catches for forty eight yards and PPR that's okay, and standard not so much. I got a guy over if Studio fifty four taking pictures of us. What's going on out there? I get a little nervous when people are taking pictures of me. You know, all right, but fair enough. I also I got it wrong when it comes to Hunter Henry. I thought Hunter Henry was gonna eat across the middle of

that New England Patriots defense without Dante high Tower. He only had two catches for eleven yards. I had him in my DFS lineup that didn't go as well. I also told you guys that I wasn't a buyer just yet on Juju Smith Schuster, and boy did he have the Juju working last night. If you were watching the World Series instead of that Sunday night football game, Juju Smith Schuster seven catches, a hundred ninety three yards and a touchdown. He is now what they hoped Martevis Bryant

would be. He is a legitimate number two wide out on the opposite side of Antonio Brown or in the slot. His ten targets were tied with a b Levian Bell only had three targets last night. Juju had ten. Ben Roethlisberger is clearly more and more comfortable with the Juju, and it looks like Martevis Bryant is going to be sitting for a while. Also, remember I've been talking about bad offensive lying play ever since Week one. Ever since the preseason, to be quite honest, and it's like um,

especially at left tackle. It is the walking wounded. The Eagles are now without Jason Peters. Watched that. I think they are in the running. They might be trying to trade for someone before tomorrow's deadline. The Lions without Taylor Decker as their tackle. They were okay, but you saw they couldn't punch it in in the goal line a couple of times against the Steelers last night. Think about it, They're missing a couple of offensive lineman. Check for that

as time goes along. The San Francisco forty Niners are absolute trash. Okay, c J. Beat Hard has not been doing it. But I think, listen, part of this is because they don't have Joe Staley at left tackle. People were thinking that day they might have traded Joe Staley, but he's banged up alright, So I think this forty Niners offense is now a problem. Carlos Hide wasn't really doing it. They went over to Matt Brita in the passing game, in the quick passing game. Forty Niners are

not going to win many games this year. The Browns without Joe Thomas there's still a dumpster fire. They were a dumpster fire beforehand, they're a dumpster fire now. And also check this out. The Washington football team has injuries to pretty much everyone on their offensive line. I think this bears watching and something that came to play in the Washington game yesterday. I don't care who this extras either is. I don't care if it's Terrell Prior who

got shut out. I don't care if it's Josh Dotson who they're trying to spoon feed, you know, opportunity to. He had one catch for one yard. Granted he got in the end zone as well. But if you notice what they did yesterday, Chris Thompson ton of targets, Jamison Crowder a ton of targets. Those two of them combined to get seventeen of Kirk cousins twenty six completions. You know what I think the thread is there. It's the dinkin dunk offense. It's Chris Thompson now out of the backfield.

It's Jamison Crowder is that quick slot imagine like the Julian Edelman, the Danny AMMONDLA kind of role. That's what Jamison Crowder is doing. They don't have time to throw. They're not gonna be able to utilize their outside receiver if it's Dotson or prior. Because they are now in the quick passing game. I think Crowder becomes now relevant. Remember Jordan Reed got hurt and they're gonna have to

go quick passing. I think Jamison Crowder is an interesting ad if he's not owned, because remember you had the hip injury and he's been banged up. So I think that is interesting. Keep an eye on Jamison Crowder tomorrow's show. I'm going to go through my uh bigig time ads, my free agent ads, my waiver wire ads for the following week, week nine, So keep an eye out on that. All right, We got one call that I want to

get to. It is Shannon in Georgia. Shannon, you're on the line here dropping status over beats with your boys speeds and spitting statistician. Uh, did you get a win or are you still up for debate here in week eight? How can we help you? Shannon? Okay, I gotta I

gotta lost, unfortunately, but here's a question. Is getting late in the season, I'm trying to make a hell mary to get in the playoffs and I have this trade, this potential trade, and I want to let you know, I want to get your opinion if it was good I have I'm gonna be trading Marie Cooper as well as uh Lett me be trading a Marie Cooper and um Den Briant in order to get Robbie Anderson as well and as mark Ingram. I want to know if

that was a good trained. I really need a running back and so I'm hoping that I can go ahead and do this. All right, fair enough, Shannon, and thanks for the call here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Um, Listen, here's what I would say. If you've had you've had a Marie Cooper and Dez Bryant on your team all year. You know that outside of the one week when a Marie Cooper went absolutely crazy and scored like forty four points in PPR scoring, he's been defecating the mattress for you, Shannon.

And the same with Dez Bryant, right when he's gone up against good cornerbacks. It's been a problem that said, I'm okay with this. And here's why you mentioned, Shannon, that you'd be getting mark Ingram and that you need

help at the running back position. Mark Ingram is a week in, week out RB one and there's not many places at this point in the season where you're gonna be able to just find and our the one that's gonna give you a weekly advantage, Shannon, if you're still there, the question remains for me, who are your otherwide receivers? You know, So if you lose Cooper and you lose Dez, who would you then still have and running out there

is wide out. It sounds like you'd be having Robbie Anderson, But who are your other wide outs that you'd be rolling with? Because if that's okay, then yeah, get yourself mark Ingram. Who are the other wide out Shannon? My other wide out Eric Decker and Emmanuel Sanders. I'm down on Decker, Okay. I don't think Decker is gonna work for you, especially because Corey Davis is coming back for the Tennessee Titans this week and he's really gonna hurt

Decker's production. All right, Shannon, I'm really sorry to tell you, but Decker is gonna go into the dumpster just like a Marii Cooper um And you mentioned Manny Sanders. Manny Sanders, as you know, is banged up. He's not gonna go tonight. But I'm okay with Manny Sanders. But the thing is Manny Sanders, Eric Decker and Robbie Anderson that hurts man. I don't think that's a winning I don't think that's

a winning uh formula. Unfortunately. I love mark Ingram, but maybe see if you can do something else where you don't give up Cooper and Dez. Maybe you just give up one of them for mark Ingram. See if you could do it as a one for one. I wouldn't give up both of those guys. I'd give away Cooper. See if you do Cooper for mark Ingram straight up. Alright, Shannon, I love getting mark Ingram, but I think you need to keep some other white outs because otherwise your wide

opposition is in problem. All right, we got another call here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Thanks for the call, Shannon. We got Mr T out there in Pittsburgh. Sounds like you want Joe mix on mix off. Let me try and help you out here, Mr T. How can we help you on the Fantasy Freestyle? Hey? How you doing? I have four pretty good wife receivers and I need to know who to tradeflor to getting Jill Mixon out of Adam Feeling, Michael Crabtree, Kevin Benjamin, de Marius Thomas,

and Mike Evams. All right, so you got Evans, you got Feeling, you got Crabtree, who else? Crabtree, Thomas, Mike alright, so it's Mike Evans, Adam Feeling, Michael Crabtree, and Damarrius Thomas. Is that right? Mr T Thomas, Calvin Benjamin and and also all right, fair enough. Here's what I'm gonna do. Mr T. I'm up against the break right now. We gotta take a commercial break real quick on a fantasy Freestyle.

When we come back, I'm gonna answer your question about which of these guys how I would rank these guys and which one I consider a spare part for you to try to dangle in trade to get Joe Mixon or anybody else. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm gonna answer Mr t s question. I'm gonna profile Monday Night Football, and we're gonna put the fun and Functional Sports Radio when we come back, hashtag dropping statue over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle right here

on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on back, I gotta answer for you, miss the T. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, in the pocket of your capis. We'll check it out now you can't. It's the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. Download it down to your phone. We promised, no weird fress is, no strange tracking things, Just twenty four hours a day, seven days a week of pure fantasy knowledge dropping all over your head. It's a Fantasy

Sports Radio Network app. Stop being a weirdo and streaming it online. Get it on your phone, take it where you ever, where you go. I'm called bear Claw and you're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Oh baby, you you got what on me? But you say he's just a friend, all right, I'm more than just a friend. I'm speaking spitting statistician. I'm the guy that helps you win your league and win net cash right here in

the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Before we went to break, we had Mr T in Pittsburgh. He had a bunch of wide receivers. He said he was pretty strong a wide out. He's looking to shop one around, maybe for a guy like Joe Mixon, who's uh. He thinks he's gonna, you know, improve as time goes on throughout the season. He told me he had Mike Evans, he had Kelvin Benjamin. To Marrius Thomas, Uh, Adam Feeling and Michael Crabtree. Here's what I say to you, Mr T.

I hope you're still listening. And Mike Evans, do not trade away Mike Evans. He's your wide out one. Okay, Adam Feeling and Michael Crabtree, these guys are your wide outs two and three. I think these are the two guys who get you stable, steady week to week production, weekend week out right. What you need in your wide receiver corps is some stud and you have that in Mike Evans. And then you need stable security and I think you have that in Adam Feeling, and I think

you have that in Michael Crabtree. Okay, here's the thing that leaves you with de Marius Thomas and Kelvin Benjamin. What I would do personally is I would dangle to Marius Thomas, I am not a believer in this Denver offense. I'm not a believer in this dead her offense. Uh. Trevor Simeon had a couple of good games at the beginning of the season, but it has not been going on lately. Okay, Simeon Simeon last week, for example, for

two just seven yards, no touchdowns, one interception. I think Demarrius Thomas is the guy that I would dangle in trade because people know the name, they know he's a big time wide out, and I think you would be able to get back a guy like Joe Mixon. But I'm telling you right now, Mr t do not trade Evans, do not trade Feeling, and do not trade Crabtree. Those would be my week to week guys. And then if you have any bye week issues, like I know this week Adam Feeling is gonna be on a bye That's

where I put in Calvin Benjamin. Okay, when you can and if you have all four of those, you should be good. I would deal from the position of strength, and for me that means shopping around de Marius Thomas. Hope that helps for you miss the t out there in Pittsburgh. Okay, let's talk a little bit more about these Broncos and Monday night football. Here's what I expect. Okay, first of all, if you listen to fantasy freestyle, I've told you about a little trick. I'm gonna tell you

again what you can do in fantasy. Okay, there are people right now. Most of the players right now are on the waiver wire for you. Okay, as soon as games start, most of the people are on the waiver wire. The people on the teams that are on a buy are not. They are still listed as free agents. And right now, in a lot of settings and a lot of formats, the players in Monday Night Football are still

listed as free agents. Okay, So you can use a last you know slot on your roster and every week make a speculative ad for a guy that you could, you know, have as a value, have as a little chip, have as a piece. The way I would play it tonight, I would look to the Denver running back situation. Okay, I think this has sort of At the beginning of the year, C J. Anderson was looking like he was an RB two, but that is not really the case.

Last week ten carries for forty four yards. But moreover, you're getting a little bit more of Jamal Charles, You're getting a little bit more of Ande Booker, and those are the two guys that I would play the trick on this week. Jamal Charles is owned. I think Jamal Charles is gonna have a decent game tonight. I think they're gonna try and get Jamal Charles in the end zone in a little revenge game against his former team

in Kansas City. I think they're gonna scheme to make it look like Jamal Charles is having a good game. Jamal Charles is owned. You can make that move right now, probably in three out of four leagues. You can make that move right now, and then when he pops off and gets in the end zone, you have an asset that you could then try to flip next week. Remember next week, just like this week, six teams are on a buy, so people will be looking for other pieces

of a committee. Okay, this is viable. And if you want to go even further, Davante Booker is only owned in two percent of leagues. This is gonna be as time goes on, he's gonna be part of this committee as well. And he's gonna be a piece in the passing game. If you're in a PPR league something like that where you get a PPR setting, I like Devontae Booker, He's only owned in two whoever that like Stash spec guy, that you had that last roster spot, that third tight end,

that fifth six wide receiver. If you are never gonna play actually play him, drop him right now and see if you can get Jamal Charles or Devontae book Or. Speaking of which I'm telling you, I think this is a real full on committee in the backfield for Denver. So that means I believe that this week, my food gazy for Monday Night Football is the lead back in Denver, and that's c J. Anderson. I think his opportunity share is getting eaten into by Jamal Charles and ultimately DeVante Booker.

That's why c J. Anderson is my Monday Night football fool gaze. He forgot about him, he means, that's right. I think c J. Anderson is a food gaze, a phoney today. My diamond and the rough tonight, however, is Travis Kelsey. I think Kelsey gets going tonight. And here's the way. I think he is in a unique position to be able to play it. You know have no fly zone operates, right, you know that they have a

great secondary in Denver. So it's maybe not the wide receivers, but also Denver is actually second in the NFL against the run. They have a pretty stout run defense. Maybe they are able to limit Kareem Hunt. You know who's not Kareem Hunt. You know who's not a wide receiver. It's Travis Kelsey. I think Travis Kelsey is the guy that has a chance to eat in the middle of the field. And you know that he is a target for Alex Smith. So I think Travis Kelsey could be

a diamond here in Monday Night football. And I like, uh C J. Anderson is my fool Gazzy for Halloween. He's the trick, the tricker, treat of it all. Um. I think it's gonna be come down to how they attack this defense. Right How has Kansas City at HOMEO in Arrowhead attacked his defense. Denver is eighth best against the wide receivers, but second best against the run backs. You know, seven points is a lot though right now the Chiefs are seven point favorites. This is a division

matchup familiarity in prime time. I can see this game being the lowest scoring game over under right now is forty three and a half. I would take the under on this game, and I would take the points. I think this is a I think this game has fourteen written all over it. I think the Chiefs win this game, but I think it's close. I would take the point and I would take the under in this game. All right, that's my uh, that's my preview of Monday Night Football.

Already answered Mr. T s question. So here's what I gotta talk to you guys about. I'm very excited about this. You guys know that we talk about d k MS all the time, right and how you can help the fight against blood cancer. I talk about the DFS lineups that you can do put in and that you could then win tickets to that game up there in Minnesota in early February. You're justin timber Lake. Is the halftime show, by the way, maybe in Tony Senkado. We both agree

you're gonna see Janet Jackson on stage as well. I think she's gonna be like in a unit a dard or something. But I think that's gonna happen. But regardless, we and the folks over at d k MS, we are now doing another promotion and this you've been hearing it on commercials for a little while on the Fantasy Sports Network, we're doing a trivia contest. Okay, we're gonna be doing a trivia contest where all you have to

You know, the Steelers and the Blanles, they're at a big time rivalry, whatever the case may be, but they are more than just rivals, all right. They

are going after it in uh social media as well. Now, you know the Steelers, the last thing they want to hear about is more social media. But check this out. Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon said as that personally he feels he can do way more at running back then Levy on Bell and you know Levan Bell active on Twitter, active on social media yesterday before their Sunday night football game.

Levan Bell responded directly to Joe Mixon. He says, and I quote, this isn't a tweet at two pm yesterday like game day, they were Sunday Night football, but on Sunday, he says, for someone who feels they could do way more than I can, sure seems like you wanna be me trying to mimic my running style, my first down celebration. And now you're wearing an arm sleeve on your left arm and went to the mismatch gloves to L O L. Just change your number from twenty eight to six while

you're at it. Check that out, you know, Levan Bell on game day going back at Joe Mixon on social media, I think that is very very interesting. You know what else was going on live during game day yesterday? I was getting nominees for hashtag Game of Inches. All right, you know what we're doing here. We put the little contest that I do out there on Tuesdays. I call it hashtag Game of Inches where I want you guys out there, and you know the fantasy freestyle cipher is

so strong. Big out to the cipher, big up to the cipher. Right there hashtag dropping stats overbeats, friends of the show, Dilly Dilly, But I had one guy live during you know, when football was going out set me a picture because his matchup was projected to be a pinpoint tie with fractional points at one point that Ryan exclamation point on Twitter at tragic RM sent me a screenshot of his live matchup. They were both him and his opponent were both projected to get exactly a hundred

and five point nine point. Hey, Ryan, I want to hear how it wound up and are you truly a hashtag Game of inches nominee. We're gonna get all your hashtag Game of Inches guys for tomorrow and as always, Chris Paponeer the Manimal is going to pick the winner. When we come back, we revisit the polls on the Fantasy Freestyle. We take the best of your YouTube questions Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle. Deshaun Watson, this kid is legit. This kid is real.

He was a little bit of a fool gay zy for me, but he put it right in my eye. To be honest, he looked like Russell Wilson. This is a guy he remained calm the whole time running, but only when he has to, not really taking hits. True studs, don't listen to me, listen to Richard Sherman. Richard Sherman says that Deshaun Watson is going to be a top five quarterback in the league by next year. Week days from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the

Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, hey, let the boys be boys. Little Onyx right there. I used to love this song growing up, a little Onyx, little sticky fingers slam. They also throw your guns, big time hardcore rappers right there, Onyx in the early nineties. All right, check it out. First of all, I gotta tell everybody how much I love the stats overbeat cipher with the Fantasy freestyle. Everybody's been hitting me up on Twitter using the hashtag stats

over beats. I respond to y'all. First, okay, if you can meet a hashtag stats over beats. Thank you to everybody who's a friend to the show. But I'm so excited because yo, the Fantasy Freestyle Cipher. We have the best fans. Okay, So when this d k MS contest comes and it's my turn here on fantasy freestyle to do the trivia contest. Y'all better come with it, Okay.

I want one of my people winning these two tickets to the big Game up there with Justin timber Lake at halftime, because then maybe you'll take me with you as your guest, and then we can really do it a big Minnesota in February. We're gonna get it done. Remember we got pulled questions up right now, Um, I asked who was your diamond in the rough? Thirty eight percent of the people like Jack Doyle. He had a big game getting in the end zone for the Indianapolis Colts.

He was less than owned, say Paul Richardson. He got in the end zone twice. Robbie Anderson did big things for the Jets. Also, here's a couple of other names people that really helped him. Yo, Jamison Crowder, I told you I think he's gonna be a thing because the offensive line is down in Washington, quick passing, Alex Collins, I told you on Thursday Riverdance, the Irish dancer. I

love that. A lot of people loving Juju Smith Schuster, the Baltimore defense and also the kicker Matt Prator in Detroit there's a couple of weeks now he's been putting up like fifteen points in a regular scoring. I like that. Then I asked you, also, which a fool gayzy undermined you? A lot of people had Jamis Winston he turned the ball over for three times. Also, we got you know, Blah Powell, Keenan, Allen, Whendel Smallwood did not do it. Um a lot of people for fool gayze out there.

All right, let's go to the YouTube stream. We got my man the analyst, Chris Ventra Hey, Chris, uh. Because everything is everything normal with the YouTube stream. I got someone hitting me saying that they couldn't find him on the show today. They weren't getting notifications or something like that. Everything working well, Well, that's that's what I was just gonna tell you. The stream is working fine, it's the chat. I'm not getting a connection with the chat here. Oh

I see why that, moms be it. Yeah. I got my guy Rob Torres. At one rob Rico was asking me. He was like, Yo, no live stream, so what's going on? But do we still have questions from the people. I want to answer a couple of questions from the YouTube guys. Well, that's what I'm saying. The stream is going. It's just that I'm not getting questions, so we we came up with a couple of questions for you anyway though, all right,

fair enough. I like your resourcefulness right there. That's why they call you the analysts for me and Christma Bony did actually, um so one from Christma Boni here we got you gotta start, you gotta start one rest of the season, a backup and a drop Marcus, Mariota, Cam Newton and Jared Goff. Is this like Mary sleep with kill kinda like, yeah, you can start one, you drop your back up one? And wanted to start back up? And what trade and drop? Drop? Okay? And it was Mariota,

Cam Newton and Golf. I am drop. This is interesting. Look at you guys coming up with questions of I am looking to trade. Oh wait, no, let's start back up and drop? Okay, I am starting. I'm starting Cam Newton. I guess he's back. He's back as the goal line back. The running is happening. I'm starting Cam Newton. I'm dropping Jared Goff because I think they they go through Todd Gurley in that run game. I like Golf but he's

kind of just a fill in. And if I don't need him, if I have these other guys, and I'm stashing on my Benchmarcus Mariota. But I'm going with Cam Newton right now because he is running the ball for Carolina. He's he's basically there running back again. It's not Jonathan Stewart. I like. I like him. All Right, we got what's the what's the last question? I like this? What's up? Venture? Okay, so this is my Who would you rather have rest of the season? Alvin Kamara or Lamar Miller. Alvin kar

I love Alvin Kamara. I told you there's so fresh and so clean. These Saints backs are like the Atlanta Falcons backs last year. I think they're both startable. I love I love Alvin Kamara. I'm down on Lamar Miller. I think they're going through Deshaun Watson these days. Thanks for that. I hope you guys get a win today. Tomorrow check me out. We're gonna do a hot Waiver wire and a whole bunch more fantasy freestyle with your boy Speeds Peace
