Episode description

Dane Martinez opens the show talking about his love for the FNTSY studio being dressed up just in time for Halloween. Dane calls his shot on the Monday Night game, saying the Eagles would cover, along with the over, and that Josh Doctson and Wendell Smallwood should be on everyone's rosters. Looking at some waiver pick-ups for Week 8, Dane likes Latavius Murray, but says like usual, stay away from the Patriots running backs. #FNTSY #NFL #MNF #JasonPeters #CarsonWentz #JalenRishard #LatMurray #Raiders #Eagles

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 tunes into the speeds and spitting statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that I'm one of

the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is. It's your point, Dane Martinez, a k A 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 anybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio, watching live on the YouTube live stream of the Fantasy Sports Network. If you are watching live, if you know here at Studio

thirty four, we are in the Halloween spirit. It is not only my man Ted Finn Jr. Here, We got some other ghouls and goblins and ghosts and cobwebs, and I got my man the Skeleton over here. Maybe it's Jeff from the inside injuries app. I don't know, but he's gonna be holding me down here in the holiday season. It is a big show on a Tuesday, and we got a lot to get to. First of all, we gotta give you my takeaways from Monday Night Football last night. If you listen to last night show, I pretty much

nailed it. I told you I like the Eagles to cover the spread. I told you I liked the over, and I told you that it was gonna be a game that was gonna be slow in the first half. I was gonna sort of open up. All of those things came true. So hopefully, hopefully you want a little

bit of cash by listening to your boy spitting speed. Okay. Also, what we're gonna do, because it is a Tuesday, a couple of things that we now do you know as a ritual here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm gonna give you my thoughts on on the hot ads they aver wires, the fat budgets, waiver wire Wednesday will be tomorrow. I'm gonna tell you of all these hot people who I think you can invest in, who I think I would just let someone else go and I would not be

spending on them. Also, I want to talk about the bad beats that happened. I know there were some because people were already hitting me up on Twitter hashtag Game of inches, we're gonna talk about the potential really bad beats and then please send them to me. Hit me up at Spitting Speeds on Twitter. And as always, we have a pole question up and I want to know which top ad would you invest in. Would it be a guy like Latavius Murray who popped off for the

Minnesota Vikings with a big touchdown run. And remember they go to London and they take on Cleveland. Maybe they will use the run a little bit more this Sunday as well. Is it Josh Doson who I told you yesterday to go ahead and use my Monday night football trick and pick him up because I told you he was emerging, that he was ascending. I now believe he is going to be that starting X receiver on the outside,

not Terrell Prior. If you saw it on Monday night, you should have been like, oh man, Speed's told me to pick that guy up. What about a guy like Tyler Croft, the tight end over there in Cincinnati who has been finding his way in the end zone in place of Tyler Eiffort. Could that be an ad or is it someone else? Let me know. Hit me up on Twitter if you want at Spitting Speeds will check in on this pole at the end of the show. And the last thing I want to say, the World

Series starts tonight. Granted my Yankees are not in it, but the Houston Nastros and the Los Angeles Dodgers will get it kicked off. The Fall Classic. Fall is a relative term because apparently it's gonna be ninety nine degrees at Chevez Ravine at the time of first pitch, so I don't know if you can call it the Fall Classic. It won't be people huddled up bundled up into stands like there usually is when it's over here in the Northeast.

But I digress. We talk about uh, you know, Monday night football waiver ads, and a whole lot more fantasy freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back. Let hey, I'm Melissa and I'm Joe, and where the interns. The Fantasy Sports Radio Network and d k MS want to send you to Minnesota this February. All you have to do is play our Big Game Tribua Challenge sponsored by d k MS starting next week. Answer four questions right, and you're heading to the Big Game. Tune in to

find out when the contest will be running. So what are you waiting for? Play the Big Game Tribua Challenge sponsored by d KMS, only on the Fantasy sport Or Radio Network. Okay, around, you know what it is, a little tupac bringing us in on a Tuesday here on the Fantasy Freestyle, dropping status over beat at your boyd Speeds this smitten statistician. Let's go around the league real quick.

You know, practice reports are gonna start again tomorrow. Tuesday is an off day for most teams in the NFL unless you're playing on Thursday Night football, So it's a little bit of a light news day, but we're gonna get into It's still Brown's head coach Hugh Jackson says all three quarterbacks are in the mix, and he has not announced his starter just yet. I kind of believe it'll be Cody Kessler. I don't think it'll be Hogan

and you gotta have the kid. Deshaun Kaiser said he is clearly not ready to be an NFL quarterback at this point in time. I think it's gonna be Kessler under center when they go over across the pond. This week, they take on the Minnesota Vikings in a tough matchup. Why would you want to expose Kaiser to one of the best defenses in the league. I don't think they're going to. I got kicker news for you. Roberto o'guire. You remember him on the Bucks from Hard Knocks and

Young Ho Cool. You remember him on the Chargers. They are working out for the Carolina Panthers today among some other kickers. Graham good No has a little bit of a knee issue, so it looks like they may need a short term replacement. Also in Carolina, they're saying tight end Greg Olsen maybe back to practice next week. Okay, he's on the pup list, so he couldn't come back until week twelve. But it sounds that's an encouraging sign that he may in fact be able to come on

back right in time for the fantasy playoffs. Go ahead and check your league. Maybe someone gropped Greg Olsen. He could be worth a stash, especially if he's ahead of schedule coming back from his injury. And also, we have news about a suspension for a big time running back. No, it is not Ezekiel Elliott is in fact Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch. His suspension is upheld he will be out this week against the Buffalo Bills as they travel west to east for a one o'clock start to take on

the Buffalo Bills. I mentioned to you you don't have a lot of plaque practice reports unless you're playing on Thursday Night football. It looks like DeVante Parker for the Dolphins, who are playing on on Thursday Night Football, it looks like he's trending in the right direction. Did a little bit of work today as the Dolphins practice, but didn't do much and that game is only forty eight hours away, so it's certainly not a lock that Davanta Parker will

be back for the Dolphins. I wanted to talk about Monday Night Football. I told you I pretty much nailed it. I hope you listened to me. The first thing I said was that I liked the Philly with the point spread. They wound up winning by ten. I also said I like the over. It wound up going over thirty four. That is, I'm gonna do a quick math. That is

fifty eight points, which was over the total. I also told you that before Monday Night Football runs, there are some formats where these players are still free agents, and if you have a guy on your bench that you can burn the spot. I told you the two guys that I like to do it within Monday Night, where Wendel Smallwood and Josh Dockson. I now believe both of these guys should in fact be on rosters moving forward. Josh Dockson it looks like it is going to be

the X wide receiver on the outside. Terrell Prior is in the doghouse, and when it looks to Wendel Smallwood, I think he is actually the best back in Philadelphia. Okay, they gave Legarrett Blunt the workload at the end of the game, but besides that last run when they were literally running out the clocks something like eight cat he's for eight yards. He was not doing it. Wendell Smallwood was good in past protection, made a nice catch out

of the flat. I think Wendel Smallwood is important to own and they have a great matchup next week hosting the San Francisco forty Niners and that defense that is bottom three in the NFL. I also listened Carson Wentz. Everyone is in love with Carson Wentz after his four touchdown one pick performance. He's actually now one of the top three choices for m v P. Now, you know, if you've been listening to the show, I was high in the Philadelphia Eagles before the season started. I was

high on Carson Wentz before the season started. Let me give you a word of caution though. All Pro left tackle Jason Peters went down. Okay, and he's gonna miss the rest of the year within a c L injury. Okay, tours a c L. You saw him get carded off. You know how big of a player he is for their team. The entire team came out onto the field.

There were even some players on the other team offensive lineman that came out because they just respect what Jason Peters has done now for over a decade in Philadelphia. Don't get me wrong. I think they're gonna still throw throw, throw, but it may not be to the same impact. Let's see what they do if they move Lane Johnson from

right tackle over the left. I think this could be interesting. Also, listen, we're gonna hear some talk in the next week, okay, because the trading deadline in the NFL is actually next week, early next week. Okay. Trades in the NFL don't usually happen. It's very hard because it's hard to understand when you go to a new team the playbook. You know how long you have to study the playbook and really understand

the scheme. That's one thing. The other thing is also contracts are weird in the NFL, so there's not a lot of trades that happened mid season like this. I'm reminded of Trent Richardson a few years back. To be honest, That's why the Sam Bradford deal last year was so impressive. That Sam Bradford was able to do anything he that he made. That they made that trade right before the season,

he stepped right in. Granted he had familiarity with the scheming and the offensive coordinator, but it makes it really impressive what he did. You're gonna hear a couple of names in the next week as it relates to the trade deadline. I don't think anything's gonna go down. We hear noise about Martavis Brian in Pittsburgh. They are not going to move Martavis Brian. We're hearing noise about a guy like Kenny Britt who has outstayed his welcome out

there in Cleveland. Hugh Jackson trying to find ways and not have him on the field. And what about Terrell Prior. Terrell Prior now another bust in our nation's capital. I was talking to my guy Mike Florio over there from Best Friends Forever. He's a Bills fan. He is really hoping that the Bills add to their wide receiver room, maybe via trade. I could see Turell Prior, I could

see Kenny Britt, I could see Martevis Bryant. Wouldn't it be funny if Kenny Brint got traded back to the um If if Kenny Brick got traded for Tarrell Prior, Tarrell Prior goes back to the Browns, maybe he can help him out as quarterback. You never know. One other thing that keeps on getting a lot of play here in New York. I don't think it's gonna happen, but it's out there. This idea of with the Giants, would they ever sell Eli Manning because they know they're not

contending and they know they need to rebuild. There is a team with his former coach that's an a special advisor in the front office that everyone thinks is really stacked except for the quarterback position. I'm talking about Saxonville down there could they want to improve on Blake Bortle's imagine Jacksonville with a steady hand like Eli Manning under center. Hey, um, I don't think any of these will happen. I digress, but it is fun to think about. That's what we

do here. That's what fantasy football is pretty much, right, trying to make trades, trying to see what would be a good fit. So it's a fun thought exercise. It is Tuesday. So here's the other thing I want to do. What I want to do hashtag game of inches. We started this last week and Bivona correct me if I'm wrong, but our winner was like a one eleven one eleven tie had Austin Seferian Jenkins where that touchdown turned into a touch back. Let's see if anybody can beat it

this week. Okay? Could it be? For example, in that Seattle Giants game where the Paul Richardson touchdown, it was like simultaneous possession, wasn't an intercept, wasn't a touchdown? Did that lose you or win you? You're a week? What about me? You know me personally? I had Matt Bryant as my careacer. He got me negative points in that matchup against New England on Sunday night. I still eat out a win because I was against Terrell Bryer last night and he defecated the mattress, so I was I

But maybe that was your hashtag game of inches. We already have one nominee. Hey, Bavona, let me let me hear what you think about this nominee from Carl Anderson at Candy Shop four oh seven. He was facing Tom Brady. I don't know if you saw this, but one touchdown that he had was to Brandon Cookes. It was kind of like a little what they call a pop pass,

not even really a pass. It should have been called a run in this guy's opinion, but it went for a touchdown, got Brady an extra like seven points, and this guy lost by half a point in what you know was pretty much a shovel pass. But you know, sometimes you can call it a run. What do you think about that nominee, Chris? You think that it fits for hashtag game of engines? All right, so Bovona likes it,

but do me a favorite. Hit me up on Twitter at spitting Speeds and you guys know, if you're hit me up on some Twitter, use the hashtag stats over beats for our show and use the hashtag game of Inches. We'll go through them. I'll read out the top finalists and we'll have my man, the Manimal, Chris Bovona decide the winner and see if anybody could beat uh, you know our leader in the clubhouse from last week. There it is, Chris. Dump a bomb on it. You know

what it is? All right, here's the other thing we do on Tuesdays, because I know the waiver wires are about to run in a lot of people's leagues overnight, Okay, tonight, So let me give you my profile. Let me give you my thoughts on some of these hot ads that are really gonna be Maybe people are spending with their fad budget on these people. Maybe people are spending their waiver priority on these people. So if before that runs, and you gotta be like your speeds, should I do it?

I'm waiver priority number three? Should I invest in a guy like Dion Lewis your speeds, I'm waiver priority number one? Should I spend it on Kenny Stills? Let me tell you right now what I think about. Who are the most added players at the running back, the wide out and the tight end position. Let's start real quick with the running back position. First up. Lettavius Murray. Lettavius Murray is of leading is a real hot ad right now.

Let me tell you something. I like him short term if you need a running back because of buy issues, and let me tell you something. Week eight and week nine, these weeks coming up, six teams are on by Okay, so I understand you may be needing to make a one week move. If you need a one week move. I like Latavius Murray because they're up against Cleveland. I think the way to beat Cleveland is not through the air.

They're surprisingly decent against the past, so I could see Latavius Murray having one more decent game for the Vikings as they go to London. Another guy right now, Dion Lewis has only owned thirty of leagues and he's getting early down work for the Patriots. Okay, I like what he's doing. He's getting more love than Mike gillies LEI and you get the reception pot n chill. But you know the Patriots, it's a four person committee and it's

completely whack a mole. So while I like Dion Lewis, I don't know if I would spend on him, because from week to week he'll just be frustrating you. I got a couple more running backs, and then I got more wide outs and tight ends to talk about. Come on right back, as we dropped status over beats because the Fantasy Freestyle, and then will open up the phone mines as well. You know what it is, piece and spitting statistician, Come on right back, Hunter Henry Sterling, Shepherd,

Michael Thomas. These three NFL softmores 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 dell 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. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. You know what it is. We're dropping stats over beats

right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Should boy Dame Martinez a k A to spitting statistician holding you down? I started talking about my running back ads. I'm telling you I think Latin Maria is okay for just the next week. But I wouldn't you know, believe in him like the rest of season. Let's say Dion Lewis. I like him. I think he's even getting early down work ahead of Mike gillies Ley. But I do not believe

in the Patriots running back room. That's a personal rule of mine because whenever I think I haven't figured out, Bill Belichick switches it up on me. I already told you about Wendel Smallwood. He's owned intent of leagues. I think he's gonna have some value moving forward. If you remember yesterday, I told you I'm looking at good offenses. You know, in the Philadelphia Eagles are certainly one of those,

so there is production to be had. I think Wendel Smallwood will be on the field more and more as he comes back his return from banged up with a knee injury. What about Jalen Richard. Jayleen Rochard is twelve percent owned right now. Okay, Marshawn Lynch is suspended this week, and here's the thing, Jaylen Roschard has a chance to claim someone more work moving forward. Beast mode has not been effective in Oakland, as you know. If you have

him on your roster, you know that. And I think Jalen Mischard could start to earn more and more work. He's only owned in twelve percent of leagues. I think that is an interesting statu Also, what I want to tell you is I think the ascension is coming for two backs. I think the ascension is coming for Houston Texans Deonta Foreman. I've been telling you guys about him

for a few weeks. I think now after the bye is the perfect time for them to start to unleash Foremanto going up against Seattle this week, and you know Seattle is great against the past. I can see them trying to run Lamar Miller and Dante Foreman as their way to win up there in Seattle Forman only owned in thirteen percent of leagues. I think the ascension is coming.

The window is oosing on your ability to get for him, and I think he's gonna be the bigger part of that time share with Lamar Miller before the Fantasy playoffs. The other guy is uh, your boy Mac out there in Indianapolis. He's owned intent of leagues. I also think that the ascension is coming over time for him. Listen, behind that offensive line, you need a back that's a little more shifty. I love Frank goren all, but he is not have the shakes he used to and behind

that offensive line, I think you need that. Give me Mac He's only O. Now the window is closing on you'll be able to stash him as well. Let's talk a little bit about the wide receivers. These are wide receivers that are hot ads. I gotta give you my take on them, and then after that we're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four four, eight four, three six, eight seven nine. I told you about Josh Dotson. He's only owned in fourteen percent of leagues, like one

out of every seven leagues. This guy is owned, and go and get him right now. You can go ahead and drop Terrell Prior. Someone asked me that direct question on Twitter earlier today. Yes, you can drop Terrell Prior for Josh Dotson. This is gonna be the big time outside receiver. This is a kid out of TCU. They drafted him in the first round. They think he has the skills, so this is his opportunity. I like him. I think he's gonna start to ascend as well. Kenny

Stills is owned in twenty of leaves. Here's the thing, He's tied to Davante Parker. Okay, if Parker comes back and like I mentioned at the top of the show, he is in fact practicing for Thursday night football against the Ravens, then no, I want no part of Kenny Stills. He had multiple touchdowns. That is a one trick pony. I don't think that. And here's the other thing. It's

tied out of backup quarterback Matt Moore. So Kenny Stills is not a guy that I would target Ted Ginn Jr. Oh boy, Ted ginn Jr. He's owned in fifty two of leads. But I wanted to throw it out here because he's having a great season. I don't care if we lea sneed is there or not. He is on

pace for nine hundred and forty one yards. Remember my theory about good offenses, and the saint is certainly that that the production will be had a lot more for a guy like Ted ginn then say the number two on a team like Cleveland or Indianapolis or even Denver these days. Okay, I buy this offense. So I would buy Ted gin Jr. Another wide out to other wideouts that I actually do buy one in the shorter term, and one in the longer term. In the short term,

you can go out and get my man, Mohammed. It's the new day. Right now. He has owned in thirty eight percent of leagues. Okay, that means two out of three of you. Pretty much he is available. I like him as the wide receiver to for the Falcons. I think that is stable production you're gonna get. He had like ten targets, more targets than Julio Jones on Sunday Night.

It's not gonna be amazing, but you're gonna get consistent things like you're gonna get six for sixty five, you're gonna get seven for sixty five, You're gonna get him five for fifty three and the touchdown. And especially when these bye weeks are coming, Mohammed Sanu has already had his by for Atlanta. I think as they get it figured out, he will be a traditional wide receiver too in that offense. And I believe that he is such

worthy moving forward as Atlanta figures it out. And the last guy I want to give you, although this is not for now, this is for a little bit later, is the good Juju Juju Smith Schuster is owned in fifteen percent of leagues. As you know the issues with Mortavis, Brian blah blah blah, drama, drama, drama, social media calling in sick, they are going more and more to Jujuice Smith Schuster. He's only fiftent. Here's what scares me. Though. He's in the conclussion protocol right now, so he may

not play this week. But I think he is a decent guy to have on your team. Remember, the Pittsburgh offense can produce. I like that the Atlanta offense can produce. I like that the Saints offense can produce. I like that the Eagles offense can produce. I like that. I am looking at these teams sometimes even more than the players because if the opportunity is not there for them to score any touchdowns, I am passing on them in my league real quick. Let me give you the tight

ends as well. I'm big on Tyler Croft. How is Tyler Croft only owned in sixteen percent of leagues right now? This is a guy that into the end zone, has the opportunity that Tyler Eiford has and is really the number two target behind A J. Green. Okay, he was third last week to Brandon Lafel, but This is a guy getting consistent targets. I like them this week. I like Cynthia especially this week up against the Indianapolis Colts in that past defense that just lost their safety Malik Hooker.

I think Craft gets in the end zone again this Sunday. So you want him in your lineups. He's available in over eighty percent of leagues, and with six teams on a boy, you may want to go out and get him. Do not, however, go out and get O J. Howard. I know he had a big game last week, but he is only fourteen percent owned for a reason. Cameron brad is the tight end to own in Tampa, not O J. Howard. I think this was the best week

he's gonna have all season. Do not start chasing those points, because, as my man Rocks used to say, when you chase the points, the points they start running where I would look look at Charles Clay. Charles Clay may be coming back, if not this week then next. He's only seventeen percent owned and he is a big time target for Rod Taylor t Mobile in that offense. So I like that. Check Charles Clay if you can stash him, but you can also get Tyler Croft at tight End. Those are

some of the guys that I like. Some of the guys I would not be spending money on, and some of the guys I would be spending money on. As waiver wires run probably over, you know, overnight in most leagues, and I have my offer out there. If you're out there listening, watching, and you're out there in Hawaii, hit me up because this way you could pick up guys after waivers run. In my league, they want to like three am overnight, so some people kind of race them

to get free agents early in the morning. I don't want to do that, but if you're in Hawaii, I'll give you my log in, I'll give you my password. You can help me out as we drop stats over beats here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I want to open up the phone lines right now. We got a couple of people want to hollow at speeds. Hopefully their week seven was good. All right, we're gonna start off with Chris and Tampa. Chris, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. How

could I help you out? And remember we got spaces, so how are at me? Four eight four three six eight seven nine, My man, Chris Bavona is opening up the phone lines. They'll take good care of you. But we kick it off today with Chris in Tampa. What's going on? How is week seven treating you? Oh? Mar Tina's man, it's awesome. I won by two points thanks to the golden I mean not golden, the green foot Elliott, Yeah green Elliott. Yeah man. You thought his sixty three

yard it was a sixty one yard was something. He continues to score points for the Philadelphia Eagles. All more to my point, Chris, I'm looking at these offenses. Certain offenses can produce, and Philly is one of them. Chris, I'm glad you got a w How can we help you moving forward? So my question is I got Bell and hunt bis in week nine and ten. So I got Mac and that's pretty much it. Do I trust him or do I go on the waivers, which I

don't have much. I got former on there and the other guy who talked about and that's pretty much it. Uh yeah, I would. I would try to pick up I would pick up Foreman. I would pick up Foreman because by the time you need him, when Kareem hunts on a buy in week ten, Foreman could be a bigger part of that offense in Houston. Okay, but yeah, you know it's great to have left Bell and Kareem Hunt. But yes, their buys are coming up in weeks nine and ten, so you are gonna have to look for

contingency plans. It sounds like Mac is an option for you. I would go ahead and get Foreman or some of the other backs that I talked about on the waiver wire that I really like. Who are your options though, Chris on the waivers right now? Yeah, Washington, Murray Rawls or Shard Hill, Jayleen Shark. Look at Jalen Richard. Okay, Jalen Richard could be an option. You remember, Beast Motive

is out this week. I know you're not necessarily asking about week eight, right, but if Jalen Richard puts in a good performance this week, I can see him getting more and more opportunity during the weeks you need. So I like Foreman and I like Jalen rich Shard as an option there. But thanks for the call there, Chris, Uh, feel back to feel free to call back any time. We got time for one more call before we hit

the break. We're going to Dave in Seattle. Hey, Dave, you're dropping stats over beach with your boy speeds and spitting statistician. How can I help you? What's going on? Speeds? How you doing? Man? Chilling? Baby? That's good man? Hey man? I love I knew Man. I last weekend by like point five damn hashtaga in Man. That really sucks. But let's get back in the win column. How can I help? I? He but yeah, so I got Fitzgerald, he's got a

buy whatever. Really help with the web receiver whatever it too is anything and maybe a running back and uh, I had Charles claim I think about thinking them back up. You know that I have Zack MILLI. Last week he put up a two point for a point in my league. Go and see Tyler Croft. To go and see if Tyler Croft is available, okay, because he's only owned in about fifteen percent of leagues. I love his matchup against the Colts this week, and he's been getting into the

end zone consistently. I like Tyler Croft. Okay, Uh, Dave, did you say wide receivers real quick? We're up against the break? Yeah, receivers? Yeah, because what are your against the commercial? So nope, Katy stills whatever. No, Okay, freaking Jordan Matthews or whatever like you're not really much in the Yeah, listen. The only way I like Kenny Stills is if you get news that DeVante Parker is again not playing on Thursday Night Football. That is possible, okay, Dave,

So check out the practice reports on DeVante Parker. If he doesn't go, then yes, I love Kenny Stills this week on Thursday Night Football for the Miami Dolphins. Thanks for the call, though.

Todd Gurley, Duke Johnson, um, the Marco Murray. Yeah, Frank Gore is the drop man. Frank Gore is the drop Your thin already at wide out, So don't go ahead and dropping one of the white outs. That you do have. Unfortunately, I think in your league, Frank Gore is the drop you said he had a second question. Hit me with it, Yeah, either Ted again or Mohammed Sanu. I like Mohammed Sanu. I like Mohammed Sanu this week against the Jets. I

think that there's more opportunity there for Atlanta. I think, listen, I think that the Saints are gonna win this game going away against the Bears, and I think they're gonna be running a lot in the second half with Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. I like Mohammed this new day. I like him better this week. All right, Jason, Hopefully that gets you a W and week A. You're always welcome to call the Fantasy Freestyle anytime. Let's go to Leslie.

Leslie is up also in Callie Leslie has a trade question. She wants uh he or she wants my insight on uh Leslie? First of all, okay, I find Leslie is a guy fantastic out there in Cali. What's your trade question? Hey, So I got Russell Wilson as my QBI one, I got Marcus Mariota on my bench. I got a trade

offer for Alvin Kamara. Should I just go ahead and get rid of Mariota For Kamara, you would be trading away Mariota getting Alvin Kamara and you already have Russell Wilson Y. Yeah, I pull the trigger on it right now, Les, Well, yeah, pull the trigger any time. And then when Alvin Kamara continues to blow up, just give me ten percent of your winnings, all right, and that'll be all right. Fat

sounds sounds good. Hit me up, hit me up at spitting speeds on Twitter, yo, and also anybody who hits me up on Twitter if you use the hashtag stats over beats. I know you're a true fan of the show. I'm definitely gonna answer you back right right, Let's keep it moving here on the phones, we go to Tray Tray is in Memphis. You're dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on, Trey? All right? What's up? What's up? Mind? Shout after you man for that t

mobile TI right Taylor last week? Man, Yeah, he had a great game for you. High help you get a w Yes? Yes, So that's what's going on, Tray. Remember I only take ten percent of your winnings. I you know, what five percent of your winnings. It's all good. Let's get another w for you trade? What's going on? I check it out? All right? So, um, you know, uh likes do Stand. I mean he loves cock bomb and do Stand. You know he uh you know I'm saying. So it's looking real kind of you know, ain't looking

too good. So I'm trying to see what should I do with him? Should I drop him just because there standing so terrible? Or also I got a trade question? Um, I got a guy who uh Tyreek Hill, he's he had and Rogers, so you know what I'm saying, he ain't got no quarterback group right now. You've been streaming Jaren Goss on the bike. So I'm thinking about dangling Stafford and maybe Rob Kelly to see if I can get heal. What do you think about that? I like

Stafford a lot, man. I mean, if if if you could get you don't need to do anything else, all right, if you if you have you have Stafford and and Tyrod. Now yeah I got Stafford, Tyrod and uh where I got Stafford and watching I picked up Tyrod? Uh for last week? Because you know what you so with those three quarterbacks listen. I like all three of those guys, Deshaun Watson, t Mobile and Stafford. So yeah, go ahead.

You could trade from a position of strength. There's gonna be people out there that are desperate for quarterbacks because of the injuries and the buys. You have three solid quarterbacks. Okay, yeah, you could trade one of them and get Tyreek Kill. I like that, Trey. I endorsed that move. And as it relates to Larry Fitzgerald real quick, you gotta hold him. You gotta hold him and see what he does. Okay. I understand that he's probably gonna decline without Carson Palmer,

but you gotta see what he does. I don't expect big things, but you can't just cut bait that quick. Alright, trade, thanks for the call up. Next, on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Carlos. Carlos is in San Jose. How could I help you out? Lows? You are on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping status over beats? How was week seven? Were doing all right? Okay? Uh? Pull off with the

win Monday. It was a little sweating at a Nelson Ago Lore I just needed point seventy, but he's quite that set in the end, zone for you that got you with w How can we help you moving forward? Man? Alrighty, So I have the Langa Walker on the by and Uh on the Waivers. There's a Charles Claim, but he's Doyle. I'm thinking about actually picking him up. There's also a little and Joku from Cleveland and O. J. Howard, but I know he's a he's a one week wonder is

Tyler Croft available? Tyler Craft is smile available? Actually someone has him? All right, So give me these tight ends that you're considering. Oh, there's also Vernon Davis. Vernon Davis is very interesting. I said it yesterday as well. Whether Jordan Reed is there or not, they continue to go to Vernon Davis. Listen, if you're talking about Vernon Davis or a guy like David and Joku for this week when Walker's on the by, I would go Vernon Davis.

And Joku has the Minnesota Vikings in London and that's a bad matchup against a very good defense. Um Vernon Davis is playing against Dallas right and I can see Vernon Davis getting a little bit of grind there. Carlos, I would go with Vernon Davis, although I gotta admit to you, it's not a good problem to have you uh, you know, you're you're you're scratching the bottom of the barrel. But given that, give me Vernon Davis I Hollows. Hopefully it works out for you. I will get another w up.

Next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to Chicago, the Window City, and we gotta deal with Nate. Nate, you were dropping stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. Sounds like you have some bye week issues as well. How could I help you? OI? What's up? Um? So, right now my two running backs and my receivers are looking good. But right now I have Aaron Jones and Robert Woods on high and right my my flex is Josh Dockson. Guys,

wondering if I should go to the waivers instead? Listen, I think Dotson is gonna do more and more as the weeks go on. But yeah, I mean, if you have some good options out there, who who are you considering on your waiver wire to put in place of Josh Dotson? There's DeAndre Washington, Kenny Stills, Jalen Richard um three. Yeah, So here's the thing. If this is just a one week scenario, right, Nate, this is just for one week because you got those buys, then yeah, look at those

Oakland running backs. Okay, you talked about Washington and Richard Um. Because Marshawn Lynch is suspended for this week. Okay, he's not gonna play against Buffalo. So if it is a one week only kind of thing for you, Nate, then I recommend checking out those Oakland running backs. If it's PPR, I like Richard over Washington. Okay, I think Jalen Rochard has an interesting opportunity. I would go Jalen Richard of

these two Oakland running backs. And because it's only a week long thing, because you're gonna have some of your guys back from by next week, I would consider Jalen Richard there um in your flex, especially if it's PPR. Thanks for the call, Nate. I appreciate the call. I appreciate the love. I appreciate everybody that hits me up on Twitter. We got time for one more call, and it is a friend of the show, someone we've heard from before down there in Oklahoma. It is Aaron dropping

stats over beats. How canna help you, Aaron? Hopefully you gotta win in Week seven? What's going on? Hey? What's going on? Dane? Hey? Listen to every day I have five and tune. Man. Yeah, that's what I like to hear people listening to the show and going five and two hashtags, stats over beats. That's what's up, Aaron. I really appreciate the love. How can we keep it going for you? All right? One? I got a question for you,

and then another one. I just kind of wanna drop a little bit of stats and see see if I'm crazy or not. Man, give me a question one, all right? So the question is is I got de Sean Jackson on the way on non free agent and I got priority. I got priority right now, There's there's two options that I there's only two oupentions that I can drop right now. It's Garson. Um. I would not drop Garson for Deshan Jackson. I would not drop Gardens Jackson. Who's your other one though, Ornes?

I would not drop Funches for Deshan Jackson either. I think Garson and just get more consistent targets Deshan Jackson. Is this boom or bus play? Okay? If you needed a you know, uh to swing for the fences for really, de Sean Jackson. If you don't, then know, I like the guaranteed opportunity and targets that both Funcious and Garson get. Deshan Jackson is gonna have a couple of weeks this season where he completely pops off and helps you win a week. But trying to figure out which week that

is is gonna make you crazy. So don't do it, Aaron, And what's your last thing? We're up against the break? But did that change the fact that if it's standards scoring or not. No, still, I still don't. I still the consistent production is still with Funcius and Garson, not Jackson Jackson. On those weeks where he doesn't hit a bomb, he's gonna go like two catches for seventeen yards and you're gonna be piste off. All right, Thanks a lot for the call out there, and check this out if

you don't know. If you don't know, I've been telling you every day for all these people that listen to or watch the show, Thanks so much. But you already know, you should go on over to d k MS right now, Okay, Daily Roto dot com, roto Experts dot com. Go to d k ms. You can learn how you could help the fight against blood cancer. You could be a blood donor,

you could be bone marrow donor. And this free entry at the DFS contest, you could win tickets for two to Super Bowl fifty two, just like these people that are maybe giving me ten percent of their winnings. If you win, take me to Minnesota with you. I'm down to go check out the Super Bowl. We tie a nice neat little bow on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. When we come back right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fast to See Free Style. I was high

on the Philadelphia Eagles before the season started. I was high on Carson Wentz before the season started. Let me give you a word of caution. The fall Pro left tackle Jason Peters went down. He's gonna miss the rest of the year with an a c L injury. Okay, tours a c L. You so haven get carded off. You know how big of a player he is for their teams. Don't get me wrong. I think they're gonna still throw throw, throw, but they may not be to the same impact. Let's see what they do if they

move Lane Johnson from right tackle over the left. I think this could be interesting. Weekdays from seven to a. P. M. E. Stern on the Phantasy Sports Radio Network, Picture Me Roland, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Mom Man the Manimal Chris Pavona on the ones into So Hot That going a little West Coast Tuloc theme. It sounds like a little bit today. I like what he's doing down there in a Fantasy

Sports Dungeon was really helping him out big things. As always, though, we put a poll question up here on the Fantasy Freestyle, and my question was who do you want to spend your fab budget, your waiver priority on for Week eight. My options were Latavius Murray, Josh Dotson, Tyler Croft or other. Right now, fifty one percent of you are voting with Josh Dotson. I gotta tell you, though, hopefully you listen to me yesterday, because yesterday he was available as a

free agent. I told you that I thought he was ascending. I told you that Gruden said they wanted to get him more involved in the offense. I told you that Terrell Prior was continuing to defecate the mattress. He didn't get any snaps in the first half. Trust me, I was watching because I was face sing him last night in my own season long leagues. But you know, Speed's got another w keeping it moving here. Some people are suggesting other people. Milan is out there suggesting um Nelson

A Nelson Aghilor is a great ad. But he's already owned in like eight percent of league, so maybe you want to check that out. Also, you got Clayton tree Hand who always responds to the polls. Big shout out to Clayton saying, Teddy Bridgewater and two quarterback leagues. Remember I've been on Teddy Bridgewater saying that he will be the quarterback of the Vikings in the Fantasy playoffs. And also d D Westbrook in deep leagues. D Westbrook might return in Week nine, could be a huge boost to

the Jacksonville Jaguars offense. Robert Murphy out there saying, my guy Mohammed, it's a new day. And also Robert Murphy out there talking about Kenny Stills. I like Kenny Stills, but I like him a lot better. If DeVante Parker misses this game, and that game is only forty eight hours away, so it's definitely possible. If there's no DeVante Parker,

I definitely like Kenny Stills. All right, we gotta go back down into the fantasy dungeon with when my man, the analyst, Chris Ventra, is there a Chris the YouTube people, what are they talking about? First of all, are the people watching on YouTube? What are they saying about our Halloween decorations? Ventra? I haven't seen anything about the Halloween no one. You know. I worked hard hard, some cobwebs, some bats. It's a real festive feel. I like it,

like I love was Kirk Cousins. You like it also? Vent good? Good, good good. What are the people asking though on the stream? All right, so first one we got, I got pick one for the flex, Pierre Garson or James White and a full PPR. In a full PPR, you gotta like. Yeah, I like James White because of that that passing target option. But but Garzon is also gonna be that number one option. Okay, and they're going

up against Philadelphia. I think they're gonna be down. I think they're gonna be down big, and there's gonna be some garbage time opportunity. It pains me to say it, but I'm actually going Pierre Garzon here, Ventra, because the Patriots running backs. You never can pick. When you think it's James White, it'll be Dion low Us. When you think it's Dickon Lewis, it'll be Mike Gillislee. When you

think it's Mike Gillislee, it'll be Rex Birkehead. I think Garson is the safer option, especially in PPR, because he's gonna get the targets. Give me Pierre Garson. Alright, do we have it? Sounds like we got one more here. Yeah. So in a standard league you gotta pick one two. Here, we got three options, Nelson Aghaloor, Sterling Shepherd or DeVante Parker. If he plays, it's standard hug and standard. Give me, give me Sterling Shepherd. Okay. I like Sterling Shepherd coming

back because he's the number one option. Here's the only problem. Aren't the Giants on a bye this week? Ventra Um? I believe the Giants are on by this week? Okay, while you go ahead and check, I'm gonna assume that I'm correct, because I usually am when it comes to football. Okay, so Shepherd is a great idea, but the Giants are on by, so who were the other day? Of course they're on speaking. What he's talking about? Who are the other two again? Parker? That's still a tough thing, is

I don't think Parker is gonna play. I don't think Parker is gonna play, So that gives me. Give me no snago. Let's say he did. I I still think he's banged up. They'll be rushing him back. The ankle is no good. Give me Nelson Agilor. But I do like Sterling Shepard longer term for the Giant. And thanks to Chris, thanks to my man, the Manamal Chris Bovona, and thanks to everybody who called at eight four four, eight, four, three six eight seven nine give me your hashtag Game

of Inches nominees. We will read out the winner tomorrow. At the end of the season. I'm gonna do something good with all the winners. It's your boy, Dane Martinez, speeds and spitting statistician. Tomorrow, I spotlight some Week eight games. Come on back, Fantasy Freestyle. You heard
