Week 9 Spotlight, DeShaun Watson, and more!

the best yet Martinez, you know what it is. It's your boy, Dade Martinez, a k A. Speeds a k A to spitting Statistician and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out as always if you're listening live on I Heart Radio on tune In Radio, if you're watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network live YouTube stream, we have a huge show for you on a Thursday, as Week nine of the NFL season kicks off.

And if you don't know, I'm about to tell you the number one ranked player, number one most expensive player in daily fantasy for this week, and a revelation in the league this year, DeShawn Watson. A few hours ago tour his a c L in practice to Houston. Texans have confirmed Deshaun Watson has torn his a c L and will in fact miss the rest of the two thousand and seventeen season. I'm sure a lot of people are gonna talk to me about it, and you can holler at me if you want at eight four four

eight four three six eight seven nine. We gotta talk about this with Tom Savage, and I personally believe that DeAndre Hopkins will still get his targets. I think DeAndre Hopkins is okay. However, I think Will Fuller no, so it no more. He's a fool gazzey to me, you need to forget about him, okay, Will Fuller and that touchdown streak and being utilized that it's not going to happen anymore for Will Fuller. I do believe DeAndre Hopkins

is okay. He's not an elite wide out one. He may fall down to more like a high end wide out two in my opinion, but de hop is still okay. Will Fuller, though full Gazzey, I forget about him. Also, as if you didn't know, this was how the story ends, Andrew luck was put on I R, thus effectively meaning he will not play in the two thousand and seventeen season. If you listen to the Fantasy freestyle. Back before the season started, I told you this is how it was

gonna go down. I told you that the Indianapolis cults were being dishonest with their franchise, with their fans in fact, and with fantasy owners talking about you. He won't need to be on the populist nonsense. He's not playing all year long, and I actually think Andrew luck Now has some distrust about this team as well. We'll see what happens with him long term. I also want to tip my cap and congratulate the Houston Astros for winning the

two thousand and seventeen World Series. George Springer had himself a series. I think he set the record for total basis. And then I don't know if you saw, but Carlos Korea, right after it dropped down on one knee, proposed to his girlfriend. What was she gonna do in that situation? Say no, put her in a bad spot, But I like what he's doing. We gotta poll question up as usual. I want to know what you think is the winning par lay on Thursday Night Football. Tonight, we got a

home dog situation. The Jets are getting three at home in a divisional matchup. Kelvin Benjamin will not be playing. Right after the trade forty eight hours later, we got a lot to talk about. We got a remix of a Verse to play, also a lot to talk about Fantasy Freestyle with your boy Speeds. Come on back, we got a big show on Frank Stanfelin. Here is Grece, somee of the Fantasy Football best Friends forever. What can you tell me about the d k MSP Game Challenge.

All you need to do is answer forward, treat you questions correctly, and you are going to the Big Game in Minnesota on February four. How do we can keep listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every day and find out what we're playing? The showtime changes to make sure you're always locked and loaded and you can be into you because make sure you listen to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every day up until the Big Game because we're trying to get away tickets for you in Minnesota.

It's a Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by d k MS, only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hey hey, hey, hip hop, hooray ho hey ho. You know what it is. It's your boy, Dane Martinez right here on the Fantasy Freestoff on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We got a lot to break down. If you didn't hear him at the top of the show, two quarterbacks will not be

playing for the rest of two thousand seventeen. Deshaun Watson tearing his A c L in Texans practice today, and then the Colts kind of admitted what we all knew, which the boy Speeds was saying even before the season started. Andrew Luck will not play at all in two thousand and seventeen. I think there's some distrust between Andrew Luck, their fans, and the Indianapolis Colts. I think that it is going to go downward very quickly for the Indianapolis Colts.

You had to know this was the case when they were talking about maybe trading t Y Hilton, maybe trading Frank Gore, trading Dante Moncrief. The writing was on the wall there in Indianapolis. As it relates to Deshaun Watson. Listen, the Texans have confirmed he tore his A c L in practice today. I gotta wonder does that mean Kaepernick is a viable option down there in Houston. Be very interesting for the owner, Bob McNair, especially right after his

comments about the inmates running the prison. It would be interesting to see if he in fact signs off and maybe a workout for Colin and Kaepernick. But I digress outside of Watson and Luck news. Listen, remember Thursday is the day where we look to see the practice reports. Are people trending in the right direction, going from d NP too limited to full or the other way around? Okay, so we got some updates right now. Not practicing today.

Albert Wilson did not practice with that hamstring injury. Market eas Lee did not practice with that knee injury. With markis Lee out, remember D. D. Westbrook is coming back, Could it be his opportunity? Is there a little crack there for D. D. Westbrook to maybe shine and grab a piece of this role? The only problem is I don't invest in the Jaguars passing game because that means you have to have faith in Blake border service, and

I certainly do not. Alright, practicing though for the Cowboys, Dead Bryant with his knee and Cole Beasley out of the concussion protocol. Both of them were practicing for the Dallas Cowboys. So it looks like the Cowboys will have all their weapons maybe except for Zeke Elliott when they play the Kansas City Chiefs this week. And also here's an interesting one. Zach Ertz has been added to the

injury report. You know, if you listen or watch the Fantasy Freestyle that I say, anybody that gets added to the injury report on Thursday, that is a bad sign because that means that something happened in practice Wednesday or Thursday to downgrade their status. Okay, so I don't like the late week ads. I think he'll probably be fine and zach Ertz will go. But remember I think this is a problem. Remember they're facing the Denver Broncos defense,

which is one of the elite defenses in the league. Anyway, this is more reason to maybe. I mean, if you're in season long, you're playing zach Ertz. Okay, but maybe he's not the DFS play for you. I'm gonna give you my DFS lineup a little bit on Friday, Okay, me and the analyst Chris Ventra will be chopping it up about our DFS lineups. And to be quite honest, I have to make some moves on my DFS lineups.

I had Will Fuller or DeAndre Hopkins, I had shares of that Houston Texans team because they were playing the Indianapolis Colts and that blunt, guts, trash past defense. I thought Deshaun Watson was gonna completely light them up. But it did happened. Okay, he's torn his A c L. He's gonna miss the rest of the season. Here's the thing. He'll probably be okay and be back for training camp next year. But what a blow. And think about the luck of the youth in Texans, right. They lose J. J. Watt,

they lose Whitney Merciless. They have this drama with their owner Bob McNair talking about the inmates at the prison and the asylum and stuff like that. Then they go off and put a great effort up there in Seattle. They still got beat at the very end by Russell Wilson. But it was kind of like, uh, Deshaun Watson stamping his flag, planting the flag right, stamping himself as a matchup proof guy who can go into any situation and be literally a feared quarterback. Now that is not the case.

My question for you, who do you like in the a f C. South. Now, you know, people may have thought, oh, Andrew Luck, who's gonna come back, the culture hanging in there, They're still there. Nope. People might have thought, oh yo, Deshaun Watson. Now I'm riding with the Houston Texans, even without merciless, even without what their defense is still good and look at what they've been doing. Nope. So is it. We're down to two teams there in pretty much in

the a f C South. Is it Exotic smash Mouth, the Tennessee Titans with guys like Marcus Mariota, Delaney Walker, Corey Davis coming back? Or is it Saxonville the cat scratch Fever the Jacksonville Jaguars with Leonard four Nette and like I said, having to trust Blake Bortle service. Who do you think is gonna win the NFC South? I personally, at the beginning of the season had my money on

the Tennessee Titans Exotic smash Mouth. I am impressed by the Jacksonville defense, but I still think ultimately Tennessee will be the only team that advances to the postseason from the a f C South. Now, listen, I've talked about you know how much I love the fantasy freestyle cipher. Right, we did our hashtag Game of Inches yesterday and we had someone who had Tyreek Hill who threw an interception from the wide out position, got minus two there and then lost by a point in a half, so they

were a winner. Uh this week. It's funny though, I got people still hit me up with all sorts of things, you know. I had someone hit me up with a hashtag game of inches uh today and I was like, yo, we already awarded it the winner, you know. And the thing is like, do you really want to be on hashtag game of inches anyway? Because aren't you Didn't you lose then, you know, so it's weird, you know, it's like the biggest loser kind of thing. But also I want to give a shout out real quick, first of

all to Riley Booth at Riley Booth on Twitter. He hit me up and uh, he's got something to say about our guy, Ted Finn Jr. Check this out. Here's what he says at spitting speeds tell everyone to stop tripping on Ted Finn Junior's water. Beta fish have a form of lungs and breathe air. They are naturally pond fish. So apparently whatever we're doing for our boy, Ted Finn Jr. Is just fine. Okay, if you come on into Studio thirty four, you're gonna see his water is clean. He's

living happy. It's week nine of the NFL season and he is still with us. He outlasted old Dell Beckham, He outlasted Aaron rod Jersey, he outlasted Deshaun Watson. So I think my boy Ted Finn Jr. Is doing just fine. But what I really want to get to today is our boys, uh Young cause the effect These guys, they're really great. I played their rap song about Amari Cooper last week forgot him are A and they always do a little bit of a parody slash remix of a

rap song with fantasy football involved. They hit me up first of all, they sampled me in this song I'm about to play, so you know I gotta love it. But how relevant and timely is this? Their track this week was I'm Sorry, Miss Watson off of the Outcast song I'm Sorry, Miss Jackson, and we're talking mostly about you guessed it the name of the day, DeShawn Watson. Now, guys, I don't know if you jinx them or something, but I'm sorry miss Watson. I think it's one of the

best tracks they've done. I want you guys to give it a listen, and then I'm gonna hear with mom. Man Chris Pavona, the Manimal says, Hey, Chris, why don't we play? I'm sorry, Miss Watson. First things first, Deshaun Watson. This kid is legit, This kid is real. He was a little bit of a fool ghazzey for me going into week eight, but he put it right in my odd sixty two percent completion percentage. DeShawn Watson nineteen touchdowns. Deshaun Watson leads the NFL. I'm sorry, Miss Watson. Deshan

is full read. Be sure to play him for a week nine. Just stop see at Steve who Shine. I'm sorry, Miss Watson, shop and storry. I'll be sure to play him for the week nine, but just stop see Adama drama. Don't like me for playing DeShawn. They say he should be on my bench, and I think, hey, maybe rightly. We got the Andrea Hoppy and follow as my white House. At my house, Watson, he took the twelfth Man and knocked his eyes out. Let them know that teams just baby.

They train wreck off spools, polays and even draft Kings. Yeah, I played at Seattle. They try everything now, y'all one with Brown. He want to tie you up. Their own chancellor can bron that third down and they try to talk about this out of the story. It was gats lighted. Now I got w on my fantasy team. I'm delighted. Deshan is one of the best qubs. To throw that ball to you, maybe put in the Brady when the

Hall of Fame calls you. I'm sorry, miss Watson, Deshank and Sporry, I'll be sure to play him for a week time. I just thought see at Dustine would shine I'm sorry, miss Watson, Deshaun and Sporry, I'll be short to play him for a week nine. I just starts see at Dustine would shine him and will Full got special things going out. He may just be a rug, but he plays like a king on the frown. I

hope that they play this play this way forever. After last week's performance, you can start him against wherever certified. That's at a time The truth even lined that's week went western. He found himself a big gold mine, came in greens did to learn a few things. Bubble screens, defensive schemes and passing on swings on the Loki. I helpe he plays like this Forever forever, forever ever, forever ever, for ever is a stretch, but you know he's gonna

grow and only get better and settled. Right until his role, Miss Watson, my intentions were good. I wish I could go back and play him like Abrica Dabra. For now, I'm sadder thoughts of breeze. Seattle's d is likely asking what happened to the time when they couldn't be had? They made so many tackles, needs of need heads. But I guess they want so he can't be bad regardless, is now king DeShawn to rule? It's elementary wasn't passed

on the first day of school. Congratulations, I'm sorry, miss Watson, sharp and sworry. I'll be short to play him for a week nine. I just thought, see at Doustine Woudshine. I'm sorry, miss Watson, sharp and sworry, I'll be shut to play him for a week line. Just thought see at Doustin wud Shine. Yes, that was my guys, young cars the effect with I'm sorry, Miss Watson. I thought

it was very interesting. They're saying, I'll be sure to play him in week nine, and then what do you know, the injury bug bites as Deshaun Watson has torn as a c L. But great work out of those guys again the effect young CAUs. We're gonna see what they do. Maybe it's a jinx. We'll see what they do. Next week. We're gonna open up the phone lines eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, And when we come back, we're gonna have a special guest giving us

a preview of Thursday Night Football. All that and more. Come back, it's the Fantasy Freestyle, which your boys beat the spitting statistician. Let's go 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 be better. Make sure listen live and dell o the app F and T s y R Radio. It's free and it's

twenty four seven. The best fantasy sports He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Special technique. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's your boy, Dame Martinez Speed, the spitting statistician. We talked about some of the injury reports we played that when I think was a jinx of I'm sorry. Ms Watson, Hey, Bavona, We're gonna break that down a little bit later on

in the show because it is Thursday Night Football. In about an hour, the Jets and the Bills kick it off from MetLife Stadium, and uh, we've got some special guests because you know the game is over there in New York, so we have some you know, big time friends of the show, Dilly Dilly that are calling in and want to give us a little bit of a preview. A Bavona, do we have our special guests on the line? What's up? Guys? Who am I talking with? Is and one of my best friends for her it is your

best friend for ever? And Mike Florio? What's going on? Florio? First of all, how do you feel knowing that Calvin Benjamin has been ruled inactive for this game in forty eight hours after the trade? I kind of thought that they went when they were inside the ten yard line, they could have been like, yo, we're throwing the high point fade to you, and he still could have had some value. What do you think about Benjamin being inactive tonight?

I agree with you. I thought they were going to activate him with him at least see him inside the red zone. But you know what, they They've gotten this far with the offense that they've had without having Kelvin Benjamin, So I'm not worried about it too much. But yeah, ideally I would have liked to see and inside that red zone fair enough. And Florio, I know that the Bills and the Jets are both, you know, franchises that

are kind of down on themselves. Who do you think is a franchise that's like, you know, more more downtrod and that has less faith in their squad. I gotta imagine the parking lot is a lot of self deprecating humor right now. Huh oh, No, believe it or not, there is. I've seen more Bills fans too than Jets fans and gay boards. Who we are here with in the parking lot is making sure every one of them isheared to the Bills and they're feeling up right. But

it's an easy answer to that question. It has to be to Cleveland Brown. Yeah, I guess that is true. These guys can't even complete a trade? Hey, thanks, Mike. How what's the what's the atmosphere? Like? There are people are excited about this Thursday night football matchup and the color rush unis? What if you're color blind out there tonight you might have a little bit of a problem one Who's on what side? Color rush? Spitting speeds? It's frank the fantasy Salad. I'm on, what's up, buddy? What's

going on? I'm very excited that I now have a Jets fan to talk to instead of these Bills guys. Hey, hey, Frankie, what do you think about this Jet season so far? I think they have kind of overperformed, have maybe saved Todd Bowls job. What what pieces of the offense do you like tonight? What about the Rastafari, Austin Safari and Jenkins? Do you think he continues to get consistent targets in

this offense tonight? Yeah? Absolutely? Safarian Jenkins, I would say, is the one lot of the Debts offense that I would have in my lineup tonight. Robby Anderson is a guy who's been getting targets. Josh McCown throwing the ball well, Bill Secondary has been giving up some big plays over the past couple of weeks. So Robby Anderson, I'm looking at him as a high and wide receiver. Three there, uh, Jamain Curves and not so much the Jets running backs

hard to predict. Who's gonna get the ball? I would say four tam ball power. Both guys are flanks options. As for Todd Bowles, you know, I was talking to Emery Hunt today. He says that Todd Bowles should be in the running for a Coach of the Year with what he's been able to do with this team and how competitive they have been so far this season. So look, it's a competitive rebuild. Think they're in a weird spot right now because I want to roof with him to lose.

But they're playing well. So it's it's hard right now the Jets fan. But they're playing well. Man, they're playing good ball. You know. I like what I've seen out of them. Nice young team. They're playing hard. That's that's the least you can ask hey, fair enough. It sounds like you might also have my oble friend, the Benny Riccardi over there. If you got Benny Riccardi, can you put them on for me real quick? I got you he's coming on alright, fair enough, Hey, Benny, should Dane

Martinez speeds the spitting statistician. You heard about the Deshaun Watson news today. So the question I have for you, if people are scrambling right now to do something about DeShawn Mon Watson, is Josh McCown a viable filling right now, just in place until you figure it out for next week? What do you think about McCown? Yeah? So, I mean I was one of the unfortunate Aaron Rodgers owners and one of my you know, big money league this year,

and I've basically been streaming quarterbacks for the last week. Now. Do I love mc now tonight? No, It's not really a great matchup for But the one thing I will say is, you know, when you're looking at waiver wires the other options that, yeah, he's the guy that I actually went with tonight. So I'm not the game anyway, and that's why I'm rolling with him. It's definitely risky.

I'm not telling a lot of people to do it, but hey, the Jets have been moving the ball pretty well through the yir lately and getting in the end thoughe Hey, Benny, I need you to represent for those Jets fans. I'm hearing from Florio and from Morancy that they're trying to take over and invade as the only team that actually plays in New York these days. You gotta represent for the Jets fans out there, Okay, Benny, that's it. Man. Hey, I'm a Jersey guy, so the

fact that they play in Jersey works out well for me. Hey, Benny, let me ask you one one question real quick. You boy speeds I am holding right now and under five wind total for the Jets this season. They have supplies a little bit. Todd Bowles may have saved his job. Do you think I have cause for concern? Or do you think they're still gonna go windless against you know, the NFC South and the rest of the a f C West that they still have left to play. I

definitely think that. Uh. I definitely think that that five in total for you is gonna be something that doesn't work out very well overall. So I think you're gonna be losing some money on that one. But I'll tell you what I mean again, I'm a Jets fan, and I hope they pulled us off tonight. But as a gambling man, my money wouldn't be on the jets today. Alright, fair enough, do me a favor. Is Gabe Morancy up there?

If you want to do me a favor, pass me off to another one of the best friends out there, or gave Morancy. I want to hear what he thinks. Getting right here waiting for you. Hold up all right? What's up? Hey? Gao yo yo, that's do this same day. That's what you're talking about. We're kicking it. We got Floria, we got Frank, we got hot ut fans Man, we got guys in Matt Fortey Jerseys. I just told my boy in Matt Furnte Jersey. I think it's says Fumble.

You know, bro, you're on nas show television right now. You stay what's up? Man? What is good? Okay? It is live? It is live in that life. Let me ask you game, how does how does that atmosphere I met life compared to the Bills Mafia over games? Are you guys? I don't know. I got my guys, Frank Stanfel and Benny Riccardi down there. They're gonna hold the line, I'm sure, But tell me Benny's my man. As part of the Bills my fear yourself. Gabe, how does it

compare tailgating out there at MetLife as compared to up North. Well, I gotta tell you. For the Big City is the amateur hour, Bro Amateur Hour. It's like a w w E event. People are having sacks, people are doing drugs. People are like slamming each other through table and that's not happening at MetLife. Apparently you can't raise it. But I'll tell you what Bill felt. This parking lot over

it's a great time though there's no smack talk. We're hanging out with families here here to family environment, Yeah, I'm sure you add to the family environment, Gabe. When I think Gabe Morancy, I think family environment. Hey, Gabe, let me ask you one point question. Let me ask you one quod question. What are the bills doing at the trading deadline? You know, because they trade away Dar, Yes, but then they bring in Benjamin. Are they buying or selling?

What are the bills doing? Well, you know what, the bills have been selling all year and they keep winning. That's what's amazing about it. Come on, man, say when they came into this gear after they traded Sammy Watkins and the big fire sale, new GM coming in. You're thinking, Oh, man, what the hell the Bills are. People are saying the Bills are tanking After they traded Sammy Rotkins. The Vegas win total Dame was six and a half on the season.

There are already a five wins right now. Mcdermots done a great job. You know, Adam Gates wants to send a fake message by trading a giant. You're not gonna buy credibility halfway through the season. McDermott bought credibility on day one day he walked in, the first day he was hired. He showed up in Buffalo. First day, he walked into the into the locker room. He saw pinball tables, pinball machines, and pool tables. He said, what the hell is this? Oh my god, say the players like that fun?

He said, get rid of this. Rickie Rackland second round Japrick of Alabama. You have a coach. I'm a second round Jeff, Yeah, Well you know what you done. T You're a talented guy. You don't fit my scheme. I don't like divas bringing Jordan Matthews. The Bills have set a tone, and the tone has come to play right now they're good. They're a good football team. Game right there, They're good football game both sides of the football field. I tell you know is a fantasy expert that you are.

Tyrod Taylor is the man. He might not be pretty on tape, he might not be great in practice, but you know, in between the lines during no sixteen minutes, Tyrod is gonna make some plays. And that's why he's a top ten fantasy quarterback. I will give you that game. Tyrod Taylor continues to impress, but for some reason, the Bills have been trying to run away from him for years now. But do me a favor. You guys out there, have a lot of fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't do,

which really doesn't limit you. That we get it done. Have a good time and I'll see you on the other side. Alright, have a good one, guys. Thanks for the call. Thank god blast. All right, So there you have it, a Bavona. It sounds like our guys, the best friends Forever Standful and Florio are good friends of the show, Benny Riccardi and also our guy at Game time Decisions, Gay Borency. It sounds like they're having a good old time, Um, Bavona, what do you think is

gonna wind up happening there tonight? Let's see, I have a feeling that after tonight, whoever wins or loses. Something tells me these guys are not going to be best friends forever. Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, or maybe they will be, but they will have a lot of black eyes. Fair enough. All I know is that they better get a designated driver on the way home. Remember we got a poll question up about this game. Right now, okay, and right now, you like the Bills minus three and

the under. However, i gotta tell you something, guys. In week eight, the winner was the Dolphins plus three and under thirty seven and a half. It wound up being the Ravens and the over. In week seven, you guys had the Chiefs and the under. It wound up being the Raiders and the over. So right now you guys have the Bills and the under. It makes me want to take the Jets in the over. I'll tell you for real, but I'm glad that these guys are able to have a good time. As you know the Fantasy

We had the best friends forever Frank Stanfel and Mike Florio. We also had my guys at ten nine nine g Benny Riccardi, and we had game time decisions, very own Gait moriency. They are out there enjoying themselves in the parking lot before the Bills and the Jets get it on for Thursday

Night Football. I told you we got a poll question up and right now of you are taking the Bills minus three and the under. We have a road favorite at play. You know how I like those home dogs. That's a trend that I like. And I'm gonna tell you, guys, the people voting on these polls have not hit on Thursday Night Football in a long time. You may want to fade whatever the audience is saying right here, but um,

here's what we're gonna do. We gotta open up the phone lines because we have a lot to discuss with the Deshaun Watson injury and others as we head on into week nine. We got the phone lines lit up, so let's open him right now. On the Fantasy Freestyle. You are dropping stats over beats. It is friend of the show, Stephen Massachusetts. What's going on? Brother? Hey? Do we doe man? I actually have a question about tonight's game,

and uh he was he ended up becoming inactive. Now I have a question because I'm able to put him in uh my our spot, and I have two options. I could even as all right now on my team, I can either play Corey Davis or Josh Dotson, or I could go on and pick somebody else up. Sure, no problem, Stephen, thanks for the call. I like Corey Davis this week. I think Corey Davis is gonna return this week and he's gonna show everybody what all the

buzz is about. Josh Dotson. I want no part of the Washington football team is playing at Seattle Legion of Boom Richard Struman, and the Washington football team also has injuries up and down their offensive line. I think Kirk Cousin is gonna have to get the ball out real quick. I think it's Chris Thompson, and I think it's a friend in Davis this week, not Josh Dotson. Give me Corey Davis. Calvin Benjamin will be back and ready to

go for you and the Bills next week. Dilly, Dilly, thanks for calling up next here on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats. It is Jill. Jill is in Callie. How can we help you out for Week nine? You're dropping stats over beats with speeds and spitting statistician was good. Hey, Dave, Hey, I was wondering what's up with Calvin Johnson and all of the people who are adding him to their rosters. Yeah, thanks for the call, Jill. Here's what the thing is

with Calvin Johnson. Okay, if you realize on Tuesday, a couple of days ago, that was the trading deadline in the NFL. Okay, So there was some speculation out there that a team may want to try to convince Calvin Johnson to come back to the NFL now that he's, you know, been out of the game for a little while.

So people were adding them on their rosters just as a speculative play, but the trading deadline, because if he does come back to the NFL, the Detroit Lions would still have his rights and the Detroit Lions would have had to work out a trade with another team before the trading deadline that passed already on Tuesday. Okay, Jill, So you don't have to worry about that. Calvin Johnson is not coming back, especially for any team other than

the Detroit Lions. But that was never really going to happen, Jill. That's something you don't need to concern yourself with. Calvin Johnson is not coming back to buy you and the bum. Don't you worry about it. And thanks for the call, Jill. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle. Up next is Trey in Memphis. Here we go because Trey is one of the people it looks like has to deal with this injury news that we got today about Deshaun Watson. A Trey, what's going on? How can I help you? Was doing? Man?

I got uh, I had watching and you know, get on the situation with that. So um Tyrod playing at night like him or you like Stafford Monday nights. I think both of them are Okay, I like I think both of them. Okay, Stafford has green Bay on Monday Night. That green Bay pass defense can be had in a game that I think is gonna be up and down.

So I don't mind Stafford and Tyrod Taylor. Listen, Tyrod Taylor continues to be like just you know, humming right along and one of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL. Here's what I would do, Trey, if you got room to fit them both, I would put both of them like on your rosters. And then what I would do is I would art Stafford this week Monday Night against the Packers, but more often than not, Tyrod Taylor is also a viable option. I try to get them both

and then play the matchups week to week. For me this week, I always tend to stay away from Thursday night football. I think it's a poor product and there's not a lot of production in big time games. I think that game on Monday is gonna have a lot more points scored. So Trey, I would go with UH Stafford over Tyrod Taylor, but I would try to get them both on your roster if you can in place of Deshaun Watson. UH and UH. I want to ask you, uh, DeVante Parker or Shepherd in the play If Parker is

back in healthy, I like him this week. Okay, Shephard is coming back for the Giants, but that Rams defense they're playing is much improved over the last couple of weeks, and I don't buy Eli manning that offensive line. So give me DeVante Parker if he comes back and is healthy. Thanks for the call out there, Trey. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we go to North Carolina where John is ready to drop stats over beats. What's going on, John, You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help you

get a W in week nine? Hey, Speeds? How you doing? Man Um? First of all, I appreciate what you do, but I gotta call you out on this. You know, Josh Gordon, Josh Gordon's a savior. Man, He's gonna do it. I'm telling you I'm gonna do it. No he is not. I gotta no, he's not. John. Come on, you're messing with me because you heard the show and you know that I was gonna get piste off on this. Let me tell you something. You know this as well as

anybody else. The Fantasy playoffs start week fourteen, right in most leagues, and you're telling me, if you're a team that's going into the playoffs that all of a sudden, you're gonna shoe the guys got you to the playoffs to ride out with Josh Gordon on the Cleveland Brown's offense and to Sean Kaiser. Come on, John, you know

better than that. What's your real question, brother man? Alright? So, um, looking at the suntime, I got Antonio Brown and Brendan Cooks on by, so looking for a wide retiem or two spot. Um, I need you to pick one of these. I got Corey Davis per your suggestion, which I love. But my other two options are Javis Landry and uh Golden Tate. So I'm a little completed, you know. Listen, thanks for the call, and thanks for trying to poke the bear by the way. I know you. I know

you like trying to send me off. I appreciate that. Listen. I do love Corey Davis. Right, I've told you about this. I think he's got great skill. Here's the thing, though, Um, in most situations, if you don't have better options, I would say right out Corey Davis. I do, however, believe that a healthy Golden Tate is a better option, Okay, um, John, If Golden Tate is healthy and ready to go, then he's a weekend week out starter and I would have him over Corey Davis. I'm not buying heavily into the

Miami offense and Jarvis Landry right now. So the way I would put them is I would go Tate, then Davis, then Landry. And thanks for the call. John. You can call back any time. Let me know how it went, and do me a favor. Let me know if you actually pull the trigger and drop a guy like Corey Davis for a guy like Josh Gordon. If I see that screenshot, I'll admit that I was wrong, But I don't think you're gonna do it, John, I think you know why to up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, we

go to Upstate New York. We've got Kyle. He's ready to drop stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle. What's going on, Kyle? How can we help you get a W in week nine? You already know doing good, doing good? Appreciate you, Appreciate you, cause thank you. Um, I got a little flex flex problem here, situation. I got a four point PPR. I got either orsen Cefaria Jakins, Corey Davis, Joe Mixon, or Time Montgover. Interesting this is in your flex Yeah, select four point PPR. I got a lot

of buys this week. That's why. Yeah, listen, here's my thing for you. You you hear me a lot of people asking about Corey Davis. Right. I like Corey Davis as a player, I really really do. I like Corey Davis as a player. Here's the thing though, in a PPR setting, I'm very intrigued by Joe Mixon. I'm very intrigued by Joe Mixon because check this out. Cincinnati's up against Jacksonville. Right, you know the back end of at defense.

You know, the defensive backs in the secondary have been shutting down wide receivers and you know that there their front seven, they've been getting a lot of pressure on the quarterback. And Andy Dalton is not good with pressure in his face. Okay, So to me, I think that the offensive coordinator there, Bill Laser, is gonna try to do two things. One get the ball out of Andy Dalton's hands quickly and to run the ball. And both of those things point to Joe mix on mix off.

You know what I'm saying, Kyle, So, I think mixing could be a very intriguing play as the way they look to try to attack this Jacksonville defense. I love me Corey Davis, but I'll if if you have the luxury of seeing it first, I would do that. I love Austin Safari and Jenkins, but I stay away from Thursday Night Football. He's a guy that's maybe gonna get you six catches, but for like thirty five yards, right, he's touchdown dependent. So for me, I'm intrigued by Joe Mixon.

I go Joe Mixon, and then if you want the boom or bus play, go Corey Davis. All right, but I appreciate the call, Kyle. I hope you get a w this week. Next we go to Josh in New Jersey. It looks like Josh is also struggling with the injury news of today. Josh in New Jersey? What you got? Sorry for you with miss ms Watson? Yeah? Um, so I bench, But hey, Josh, I'm sorry you got a bad connection. I can't really hear you. Do me a favorite, Try and call back as soon as you can. We'll

try to get you on. But I can't hear you with the connection, and uh, you know, it just doesn't make for good radio or TV. So let's go on back to someone new. We got Albert in Boston. Albert in Boston is asking me a question about quarterbacks, and he may have to put someone in tonight. Hey Albert, you got your dropping stats over beats. What's up? Hey, thanks for taking my call? Man, Thank you? Hey. So, um, yeah, I got a question for tonight. Um, I picked up McCown.

You know, after a couple of weeks watching, I'm doing pretty well. So I got McCown goes going versus Buffalo tonight, or I can wait for Cousins against Seattle. But last game they had their office in line. I was pretty beat up. Um, just trying to figure out what to do. Yeah, listen, Albert, you absolutely all right. Cousins line has been completely eviscerated. That Washington old line is a problem. I think Seattle is gonna get big time pressure on Cousins. And also

you've seen it this Terrell prior Josh Dockson. I don't know what's going on. Jordan Read is also banged up, you know, so I would actually, I can't believe I'm saying this, I pull the trigger and I put Josh McCown in my line up tonight. It's an ugly kind of thing. You gotta just put him in the lineup and then close your eyes, pinch your nose, and find out what happened tomorrow when you read the box score. All right, thanks for the call, though, Hey Bavona, check

this out. When we come back hereins we're gonna do because I see we still got one person on the line. I don't want to short change his time, Dan, and indeed, do me a favor. Hold on the line. When we come back, we're gonna get to your question. Then we're gonna hit my man and Chris the the analyst Ventra.

We're gonna get a YouTube question. And I also got to tell you about what you need to do if you want to dip your toe in the DFS water, or how you can win some tickets to that game up there in Minnesota where Justin timber Lake is on the halftime show. All that and more when we come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, Dan hold on, we'll get you be right after this break. This spitting statistician on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio

Network Fantasy Freestyle. The Houston Texans have confirmed the Shawn Watson has torn his a c L and will in fact miss the rest of the two thousand and seventeen season. Tom Savage and I personally believe that DeAndre Hopkins will still get his targets. I think DeAndre Hopkins is okay. However, I think will Fuller no no more. He's a fool gazey to me, you need to forget about him. Week

days from seven to eight pm. E Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Hey, welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. You know what it is. It's be the spitting Statistician. I was joined by my guys on the Fantasy Spoard Network, Gabe Moreency, Benny Richardi, Mike Florio and Frank stand for the best friends forever. They're getting it going right now, getting ready for the buildings and the Jets on Thursday

Night Football to kick off week nine. We got one more caller I want to get to before the end of the show. It is Dan in in Indie. Hey, Dan and Indy, you're dropping stats overbeat the Fantasy Freestyle. How can we help you? For week nine. Hey, thanks thanking the call. Make it quick. I gotta make a decision tonight. Um, I have zech Ertz at my tight end, but I have a s J on the bench. I feel you, Dan, That's interesting because I don't like that Urch just popped up on the injury report, you know

what I mean. And and the thing is earth they're playing that Denver defense, which is a very tough defense. Also, so that gives me cost for pause. Here's the way I would play it, Dan, And you're not gonna like my answer perfectly. Most most websites, wherever you're playing, you have like projections, right, So if you're projected, are you projected to win this week? Or you projected to lose this week? Yeah, if you're projected to win right by a little bit of a decent margin, in that case,

I might go safe. Yeah. Then in that case I might go safe and just put Austin Safarian Jenkins in because here's the thing. You can't take a zero, you know what I mean. So if you're if you're projected to win, then I think you could go the conservative, safe route and put a s J in your lineup right now, right, Because the last thing you want to do is weight on that have hurts and then get a zero and then you go from projected to win to taking an l Right. So that's the way I

would play it. If you were on the other side and you were projected to lose and you kind of needed that home run hit or potential, then I would have said take the risk. But because you're projected to win in that scenario, I think it's okay to play a conservative, and I would play the Rastafari us than Safari and Jenkins and King HALLI Salassie I If that makes sense for you, Dan, what do you think about that logic by spitting speeds? Yeah, anytime you can call

the show whenever you'd like. Check this out. Uh, we talk about my DFS lineups tomorrow. I'm gonna have Chris the analyst Ventra joined the show. We're gonna break down our DFS lineups for week nine. Trust me, Deshaun Watson will not be in it, so we gotta do a little tinkering, right, But check this out if you want to start getting into the DFS world. Don't worry about some of these huge sites, okay, because they got guys

with putting in fifty hundred lineups at a time. You want to dip your toe in the water, I got a place for you. It's Fantasy Factor dot com. Okay, go on over to www Dot Fantasy Factor dot com. I like them because it's single entry tournaments, smaller you know tournaments, and flatter prize pools. You have a chance to actually win as you're trying, and you're not going up against these guys with their algorithms and their hundred lineups. Okay, and they always do a free roll, so it's free

to enter some things. This week they are doing a free roll of a two hundred dollar NBA contest, so I really checked like that. Check that out if you want to, you know, warm up to it and test yourself. I would do it at www Dot Fantasy factor dot com. Get about the big boys and their algorithms. And as you know, we're doing a lot with d k ms and blood cancer this season here on the Fantasy Sports Network. But we're also doing is we start the trivia contest. Okay,

it was on Best Friends Forever. They didn't even get to level three. You all you gotta do is answer four questions correctly. Okay, they didn't do it on Best Friends forever. It was on on Target yesterday. No one got past level two. It's coming to the Fantasy Freestyle next week or the week after. I want the Fantasy Freestyle cipher to not only drop stats over beats, but

to get these four questions right. So we can send somebody up to Minnesota so they can check out justin timber Lake at half time and then do me a favor, take me with you. All right, that's what it is. All right, But that trivia contest brought you here by the Fantasy Sports Network in DKMS. We're gonna be giving away tickets to uh, you know that big game up there in Minnesota. Alright, Uh a Ventra, I don't know. We got time for one more question. What you got

on YouTube? We got time for one question. Let's make it quick. Alright, quick one, here we go. Who you start in this week? Half point PPR Adrian Peterson or Carlos Hide Carlos. I'm not starting Adrian Peterson. I'm telling you that I don't believe even Adrian Peterson. I guess you know he's against that San Francisco it's the two San Francisco running backs. That game was like a field goal contest last time. I guess, I guess I go hide. I guess I go hide. I don't believe in Adrian Peterson.

What happened that first week was fool gazzy. Forget about it. Hey, Chris, I'll see you tomorrow for DFS lineups. I'll see all y'all. Holler at me at A four four four, three six seven nine, Hit me on Twitter at smitten Speeds. I'll see y'all tomorrow. Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network piece
