Week 9 Takeaways, Fight Night, and more!

here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out as always to anybody listening live on I Heart Radio, on tune In Radio, watching live on the Fantasy Sports Network live YouTube stream. We got a big show for you on a Monday, as we think through what took place in week number nine, a very interesting week. If you ask Speeds the spitting Statistician, I'll tell you what I got right in week nine, what I got

wrong in week nine, as I hold myself accountable. That's what you really like in any kind of friend or in any kind of relationship, someone that's gonna hold themselves and hold you accountable. So I'm gonna tell you what took place in week nine. Before we open up the phone lines at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, We're also gonna talk about a little bit of a preview for Monday Night Football as Week nine concludes with the Packers and the Lions from Lambeau

Field in about an hour, hour and a half. And I gotta tell you something there. It was like fight week in the NFL, you know, between what happened with the Saints and the Bucks, and boy, am I gonna get into the Bucks for in a hot second when we come back. I told you guys about fading the team that was on hard knocks. But then also with the Bengals and the Jaguars, A J. Greenan and Jalen Ramsey, they get into it. There was also Carlos Hyde coming

to the defense of his quarterback in San Francisco. A lot of ejections in week number nine, and some people that are going to miss some time moving forward because of their actions. Also, we've got poll questions up as usual. You could hit me up on Twitter at Spitting Speeds is the name. I want to ask you. Who is your Week nine diamond in the rough? I got some

people already answering. But remember, a diamond in the rough is somebody that was under fifty percent own their options of Corey Clement, matt Forte who was only owned by the Way and Robert Woods, or was it someone else? And then who is your fool gazey? We're not talking about someone who got injured, but you know, ejections count. Was it a j Green who got you all of six yards? Was it any of these Tampa Bay Buccaneers starters. Listen,

Mike Evans defecated the mattress, Listen, Jamis Winston defecated the mattress. Listen, Doug Mark defecated the mattress. So it could have been any of them? Or was it? Going all the way back to Thursday Night Football with Lashawn McCoy only got you twenty five yards? All right, So we're gonna talk about all of those things. We're gonna preview Monday Night Football. We're gonna reset the stage for moving forward into Week ten because a lot of teams are really stamping themselves

as contenders right now. We'll also have all of my takeaways from Week nine, and they really center around some second year quarterbacks who are interestingly enough evolving in their offense in the right way, not like some other young quarterbacks. We are going to get after it. It's all that and more. Later on, we'll also put the fun and functional Sports Radio, and don't forget, we'll also be taking

your questions. Whether it's by phone at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine, whether it is on the YouTube stream live, or if it's at spitting speeds on Twitter. You know what we do here. We dropped stats over beats. Mr Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on right back, you heard. Hey, I'm Frank Stanfeld and here is Greg Sussman of the Fantasy Football Best Friends Forever. What can you tell me

about the d k MS Big Game Challenge. All you need to do is answer for tribute questions correctly, and you are going to the Big Game in Minnesota on February four. How do we get involved? Keep listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every day and what we're playing the showtime changes to make sure you're always locking loaded and you can be into. Just 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 the Big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by d k MS, only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let the Bead Drop. Yeah yeah, I got so many problems, but my fantasy team is not one of them, because I'm right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Is your boy Dame Martinez Speeds the spitting statistician. We dropped stats over beats on the Fantasy Freestyle.

Looking back at the uh, you know, most of Week nine, I'm gonna be previewing Monday Night Football a little bit later on. And also it's interesting there were not, you know, huge injuries this week, and this was one of the first weeks in a long time where we're not here on a Monday talking about a catastrophic injury to a you know, a first round talent or an elite quarterback. You know, we're not talking about Aaron Rodgers going down. We're not talking about Dalvin Cook going down. We're not

talking about David Johnson going down. We're not talking about you know, Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, these kinds of guys. If you had your players available in Week nine, they are probably still going to be available in week ten with the suspension of some guys in Tampa Bay, which we will get to in a second, or you know des Bron. And also he sprained his ankle, but the team says it's not serious. They're treating him as day

to day. And it may be important because remember, although I don't have a law degree, it is possible that Zeke Elliott will not be playing for the Cowboys next week. And attention because listen, Terence Williams, he tweaked his knee as well. So they made the point on the broadcast Tony Romo is his return to Dallas. They made the point on the broadcast that Zeke, Dez and Terence Williams could potentially all be missing time. But they are saying

that Dez that sprained ankle is not that serious. DeMarco Murray left the game but came back. He was banged up. Now add a knee injury to his list. Remember they were talking about a shoulder, they were talking about his hamstring. Add a knee to the list of DeMarco Murray. This is a guy who kind of like plays through injury every year, and you're gonna be considering that Tennessee Titans running back situation whack a mole for the rest of the season with Derrick Henry and Marco Murray. Leo Jones

is also banged up. They're calling him a quote unquote lower leg injury that he is also dealing with. He's been dealing with ankle, knee, foot injuries for a few years now. Maybe he's also dealing with a bruised ego after dropping what was a guarantee touchdown from Mattie Ice in a game where the Falcons ultimately only lost by three points. But checking I on Julio Jones for the rest of this week as the practices or will it be Mohammed Sanu stepping in as the number one target

for Atlanta. I mentioned it before, but Jamis Winston is going to miss the next they say about maybe two games with his shoulder injury. Remember he was worried about his shoulder going into this game. It sounds like he reaggravated it in the first half and then Fitzpatrick came in for the Bucks. And it's interesting because this now sets up as a revenge game for Ryan Fitzpatrick as

they take on the Jets next week. Mike Evans will be suspended for one game after his altercation with mal Shawn Lattimore in that game against the Saints yesterday, he looked he likely might appeal this and maybe eligible to play. We'll see how the process works itself out. Interestingly enough, in that other fight, A J. Green was not suspended, mostly because he was in fact ejected. In that game with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Eddie Lacy went down with a

groin injury. He did not return after getting injured in the first half after running for twenty yards on six carries. They're listening him as day to day. But remember they play Thursday night football in week ten, so that is a very short turnaround. You could see Thomas Rawls as the number one back for the Seattle Seahawks definitely for Week ten, and then maybe he's got a chance to grab hold of that job. Nobody in Seattle seems to want it. Maybe Thomas Rawls can grab it starting on

Thursday against the Arizona Cardinals. Also listen the Denver Broncos to Houston Texans. Both of those teams apparently saw enough out of their quarterbacks brock Oswiler and Tom Savage they are keeping their jobs. Uh you know in Denver Paxton Lynch is coming back to health. Maybe he'll be an option in a week or two. Also, for all those who are gonna ask me, and I know someone's gonna

ask me. I thought it was funny last week. I had a caller even after I said I knew it was gonna happen, and try to poke the bear and get Speeds all riled up. So I'm gonna, you know, do my due diligence here and let everybody know that Josh Gordon is scheduled to report to the team facility tomorrow, but still he's not gonna be able to play until they say something like week thirteen. As you know, I

do not trust him. However, somebody I might trust later on in the Fantasy playoffs is Teddy bridge Woda, and it's said that he might be activated this week by the Minnesota Vikings. He likely won't start this week, It'll probably be k seen him for a little while longer. But you got Teddy Bridgewater waiting in the wings, and I think that could be very very interesting. Alright, let's talk about Week nine. I've I've mentioned it already to me. The headline is that it was pretty much fight week.

I mean A J. Green with the rear choke. That was surprising. A J. Green is one of these wide eavers that are kind of calm, cool, collected, not the diva type like the Oldell Beckham's or the Antonio Browns. You very rarely here this kind of stuff around a J. Green. I think it was very interesting myself. Listen. So Jalen Ramsey apparently is starting to have this reputation he gets under the skin of opposing wide receivers. Another reason that

he just caught the cat scratch fever. As my BFF friends would like to say, I think this Jacksonville defense is really making a stand and they're trying to actually I think prove a point saying they are the new meanest guys on the A F C block as it comes to defense. Maybe it's not the Houston Texans anymore. After all, with the loss of J. J. Watt, with the loss of Whitney Merciless, it looks like the Jaguars are reveling and being these kind of Saxonville bad boys.

So I uh, I think, you know, Jayalen Ramsey just getting into the skin of a J. Green kind of just adds to that narrative. Now they have another kind of you know, highlight thing that they could put on their resume this year as a defense. Out only are they, you know, sacking quarterbacks ten plus times, Not only are they picking off Ben Roethlisberger five times, they are getting a j Green out of his mindset enough to do

something that got himself ejected of a game. I think it's very interesting what these Jags are doing and the other fight. Though, let me tell you something right now, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a bunch of punks. You know. I'm telling you. I've always said to fade the team that was on Hard Knocks. Okay, this whole episode, well, this whole season of Hard Knocks was built as Jamis Winston being a leader. Oh my god, Jamis Winston is

so important. You saw how Gerald McCoy was saying how important Jamis Winston is, how he was ready and mature to be a leader. No, he is not. Okay, I'm sorry that he's hurt. Okay, the shoulder injury is one thing. But if you're hurt, what are you doing running out onto the field poking in the helmet of someone on the opponent? You know, one of your opponents. Marshal On Lattimore instigating a fight. That is not leadership, captain, quarter back,

face of the franchise behavior. It's just not When is jamis going to learn? We saw this in college, you know, standing up on the cafeteria tables, with the lobster, you know, with the crab legs. We saw all of this already. Everyone thought, because we saw hard knocks, that he was taking a step forward. This does not look like he's taking a step forward in leadership. This looks like he's going down, to be quite honest, the Cam Newton path of quarterback leadership, and I don't think that is the

one he should go with, to be quite honest. I also think that Dirk Cutter is losing this team. We talked about how Ben McAdoo is losing the New York Giants. I think Dirk Cutter is losing this team. They were primed and ready to take a step. They were everybody's darling, and they continue to defecate the mattress. They continue to show that they are not ready. Defensively, do not have the maturity or the experience. I know they had their

by week one. I don't care. This was everyone was supposed to be primed and ready to go for this year. Dirt Cutter seat is getting a little bit warm. And you want to know what else, Watch your boy John Gruden. Watch your boy John Gruden over there. He actually said on Monday Night Football last week that he misses coaching. He says that he draws up a playbook and just has no one to give it to. He went into the Tampa Bay Office offices on hard knocks and was

received as a welcoming, conquering hero. I would be concerned if I was Dirt Cutter for my job, and I would be concerned if I was Jamis Winston for my you know, the narrative around me. It was absolutely insane that he would instigate that fight. I'm glad Mike Evans got suspended. I think Jameis Winston needs to take a long, hard look at what leadership should in fact look like. Also, I mean Carlos Hyde coming to the defense of his

quarterback and getting ejected. You had this after a week where Leonard four net is a surprise de deactivated right on Sunday because he missed the team meeting. I think there could be more behind that. Let me tell you something these millennials need to figure out how to be

professionals in the National Football League. And the other thing is when we're talking about, you know, the grand narrative that's out there right now, about when owners can say, quote unquote like, oh, we can't have the prisoners running the asylum. Well, this is not a good look to be looking, not professional, not contained, not like actually playing the right way, Worried about social media beef, worried about your Instagram you know likes. I think this is a problem,

But I digress. I'm gonna stop before someone talks about me getting off their lawn. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, what I gotta do is I gotta tell you about the things that I got right in week nine. And there are a couple of calls shots by your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician. But I also got to admit who put it in my eye in week nine? And there are a couple of older running backs that did that as well. And then we're gonna do is We're gonna open up the phone lines

when we come back. The number of call is eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. When we come back We're gonna open up the phone lines and see if you want to chop it up with me about fading the Tampa Bay Bucks and about uh, you know some of these calls that I got a right come on back. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Hunter, Henry Shirling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. These three NFL softwares are not due to slump, They're

due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network e year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and dell o the app f and t s y R 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 Free Style right here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You got to spin statistician holding you down from seven a p m. Easterner time, right here on the Fantasy Sports

Radio Network. Like I said, I want to first go, you know, hold myself accountable, and then we're gonna go to the phone lines right here. There were some things I definitely got right going into week nine. First of all, when people were calling in all week and they needed a filling starter at quarterback. I told him that the place to go was Jared Goff. I told you I like Jared Goff against the New York Giants defense without Jack Rabbit, who was suspended, and I told you that

that was the move. He had three hundred and eleven yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, picked apart the g men and including some bombs the Sammy Watkins got lucky with Robert Woods taken one to the house. The Rams look good. We're gonna talk about them a little bit later on as well. In DFS, I kind of held you down. I told you that the price on t Y Hilton was too low. I told you to put them in

my lineup. When we did that show on Friday with my man Chris the analysts, venture t Y popped off as the number one player in the NFL four week nine, five catches, a hundred and seventy five yards, and two touchdowns. I gave you Jared Goff, I gave you t Y Hilton. I also told you it could be a value to touch a little bit of a case of v D this week. And then Vernon Davis responded with six catches

and seventy two yards to lead his team. I also told you that as it related to you know, after the Deshaun Watson injury where we played young cos the effect. I'm sorry, miss Watson, who I told you that DeAndre Hopkins would still get his with that, Will Fuller no so much. That's what I told you. In response, DeAndre Hopkins still had six catches for eighty two yards and a touchdown, albeit in garbage time, but Fuller did not get going only two catches for thirty two yards. For

will Fuller, I told you about that. I also told you that as related to the Miami running back situation after the J A. G. I. E. Trade, I told you that everyone was on Kenyan Drake, but I was kind of on Damien Williams instead. Their yardage and catches were about the same. Okay, Uh Drake actually out gained uh Damian Williams. But Damian Williams is the one who got in the end zone. Damian Williams is the one that it looks like the Dolphins UH believe in in

past protection, and Kenyan Drake fumbled the ball. Okay, I would still rather have and this is in PPR formats, I would still rather have the Damian Williams side of this damn time share. I know Kenyan Drake. He looked like he had more juice, he looked like he had more spunk and more wiggle. But they used Damian Williams and passing downs and they trust Damian Williams. I think better with his hands and with past protection, so I think that's important. And also check this out. These young

running backs continue. I've told you that this is the time of the year where the time share is starting to go. Check this out. DeVante Booker, who I gave you out gained the rest of the backs in Denver. Didn't put on a big show or anything, but did more than C. J. Anderson, did more than Jamal Williams. I told you about Alvin Simon and Theodore Kamara. I told you about this guy. He had the third best high point total in the NFL this week, behind I believe only Jared Goff and t Y Hilton. He is

going to continue to ascend along with Mark Ingram. That's why I call them so fresh and so clean. I think it's now officially Derrick Henry's time with DeMarco Murray banged up again. He has a knee injury. Added to all the uh you know, aggregate injuries that are compiling on. For DeMarco Murray, I told you about Dante Foreman. He had one more carry than Lamar Miller. I think he's gonna get more and more opportunity once they realized that Tom Savage is not going to be able to move

the ball through the air. All right. So these are all some of these younger running backs that, like I said, whether it's after the bye towards the end of the season with a team that is falling out of it, they are going to start to get more and more opportunity. On the flip side, Listen, there are some running backs that just put it in my eye, and they're the older running backs. For the most part, I was off Adrian Peterson. He had thirty seven carries, four hundred and

fifty seven yards. Put it in my eye. I acknowledge that J. G. I. E. I was off him for the first week of this new like three person committee. They were saying limited opportunity. He got limited opportunity. He had eight rushes, but he took him for seventies seven yards and a long touchdown run. And also I was wrong was was it relates to beast Mode. Okay, beast Mode got back into the end zone twice on Sunday Night Football, so these older running backs were certainly doing

it to me in Week nine. I also got to tell you, though, these second year quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Jared Goff are really something that everyone needs to start paying attention to. They are both taking their step forward. They are now the number one and n two teams in the NFC. They are the only teams in the NFL with a plus hundred point point differential, and that's really a true measure. They are both outscoring their opponents by more than a hundred points, the only two teams

in the NFL to do that. They both put up a fifty spot against their opponents last week. And here's the thing. They're being efficient. They are not these volume throwers now that have bad offensive lines that have no run game. They have a run game, they have an offensive line. They are both turning into these kind of offenses. I call like the sum is greater than their parts. In in l A, you don't know if it's cup

or Woods or Watkins or girl Ly. In Philly, you don't know if it's Earth's or a Galore or you know al Sean or the running backs. That's what they're doing. They're both incredibly efficient. They're throwing for four touchdowns, but they're doing it with less past attempts than some of these volume throwers. Like what we're seeing out of Eli Manning, like what we're seeing now, to be quiet, honest out of Matt Ryan even in Atlanta, like we were seeing

with Carson Palmer earlier. Okay, so I really like what these guys are wanting. Let me tell you something right now. Carson Wentz is q B one, twenty three touchdowns, only five interceptions. Jared Goff is QB ten. He's got thirteen touchdowns, make it fourteen with a rushing TV and only four interceptions. Contrast that with the guy that I'm lamb based thing early in the show, Jamis Winston. Jamis Winston ten touchdowns,

six interceptions. They lack an identity in Tampa. Like I said, Dirk Cutter, that seat might be getting warm for you. All right, that was a little bit of a recap what I saw in week six. Let's um, let's open up the phones. Let's open up the phones here, all right, we're gonna start. We're gonna start here on the Fantasy

Freestyles tonight dropping stats over Beach. We got some callers that want to get at Speeds talking about what we got right, what we got wrong, what we're gonna do looking ahead to week ten, and what we think about Monday Night football. Let's open up the show. Garrett in Louisiana. Hey Garrett in Louisiana, you dropping stats over beats Man. Those Saints look good Ingram and Camara are becoming a tandem that's letting the Saints sustained drives, letting their defense rest.

They're becoming opportunistic and if they're playing average and turning the baball over. I like the Saints in that NFC South. Hey Garrett in Louisiana. What's going on with you here? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle. They was so Speeds? Who that who that be? Saints? Nobody? What's going on? Actually? I picked up a couple of weeks ago for Jami's Winston and Buck Allen. I feel fits perfect. I like that he's gonna continue. You can easually start Camara and

mark Ingram almost like if you had them both. Yeah, definitely, definitely. So I'm kind of a weird spot though, I'm five and four had a four gas street that thanks to you and the guys that the show guys on the network, bounce back five and four those points in the league, getting a hundred points every week in the Standard. But I'm starting to worry a little bit. What you got first worry is Kirk Cousins. I know Seattle, but that old line is worrying me. I don't know if I

need to make a move. There's a couple of guys that have two good quarterbacks on their teams making a move from way to one of their seconds, like a Dak Prescott or something. And my wide receivers. I thought I had two top five guys and Nelson and Hopkins, and now more that I got like five wide receiver two's I'll be playing darts seven week setting my line up.

So I got Hopkins, Nelson, Parker, Cooper, punches in Davis uh and they all kind of in that same range that you can make a move for a real stunt um. So here's what I was saying. Thanks to the call, Garrett, I really appreciate that Kirk Cousins is gonna be okay. Kirk Cousins is like, here's the beauty of it. Kirk Cousins is one of those quarterbacks that's a volume thrower. Here the best part about Garrett is, uh, the the Washington football team can't run the ball, you know, so

Kirk Cousins is going to continue to throw. You mentioned Dak Prescott. Listen, Dak Prescott is the top five quarterback moving forward. Okay, especially because of what he can do in the run game. If you can get a guy like Dak, sure, go right ahead. I just don't think it's gonna you're gonna be able to get him from the deck. Owner. Okay, But I'm okay with Kirk Cousins. Okay. I don't think he's a big time problem. Adds to your wide receiver concerns. That's where I think you have

the issue. Okay. DeAndre Hopkins is still someone you gotta start on a week to week basis. I also like what Devin Funcious is doing recently, so I'm starting Hopkins and Funcius weekend week out, no matter what. Jordy Nelson, I really want to see if he looks like better today after the bye, after some time with Hunley, and

then I have Cooper and Davis behind them. If you want, what you can do is you can try to dangle a guy in trade, like a Marie Cooper or Corey Davis, and see if you could package that with someone to get that quarterback that you want. But I would not have it be DeAndre Hopkins. I would not have it be Devin Funcius. And I have a sneaky feeling that Jordy Nelson is going to be doing alright moving forward as well. But thanks for the call, Garrett. We go to my man friend of the show, Pete and Staten

Island Dilli Delly, Pete, what's going on? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle again? How is it going this week? How is your week nine? It was? It was okay except for uh oh, let me see where we'll all got his hero for me with kicking. Yeah, he missed a bunch of ki Yeah, have to have have anum my life. But I did make a play this morning. You know I've been looking to get rid of Dez for a couple of weeks, right, so finally I pushed a button

this morning. If I panicked Mac, Okay, you'relorious Allen and Marlan Mac for Dez um here's the here's the thing, Ah, I like DEAs better than these guys. Especially if Zeke is gonna miss any time, then that offense is gonna go through DEAs. And here's the problem, Pete. What you gotta know about Buck Allen is that Danny Woodhead is coming back for the Ravens in about two weeks, and then he's gonna be in that passing down back role

over Buck Allen. I ultimately think when you're in your fantasy play when you're in the fantasy playoffs, it's gonna be Alice Collins and Danny Woodhead. I'm worried about Buck Allen moving forward because of the return of Danny Woodhead. Beat you gotta check that out, okay, and then get back to me later on in the week. I know you, I heard you, just says you forgot about that. Danny Woodhead could be a problem as it relates to your Buck Allen. I actually like the dead side, but call

me back later in the week. We'll see what's up, all right. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we're up against the break, we come back. I see you Chris and New Jersey, I see you Carlist in Maryland and I see my man Taco and Alabama. We're gonna chop it up with all those guys, and then we're also gonna get my Monday night football preview as the Lions take on the Pack at lambeau Field. It

Dane Martinez Piez

has been statistician right back on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let me tell you something, Heyo, Pavona, you know how much I love the hashtag stats over Pete Psycher. We're building a real community here on the Fantasy Freestyle. I gotta tell you check this out, Pavona. On Friday or for me on Saturday morning, I got hit up. I got hit up by Christian coach Okay, and he told me that he really appreciated the Friday show. He is in Denmark.

He lives in Denmark. The Fantasy Freestyle comes on live at midnight over there in Denmark, says he makes it a nightly routine to listen to me. And I was really honored because out there in Denmark, you're You're a Dane if you're out there in Denmark, so you know the great, the great Dane, Dane Martinez out there in Denmark. It just speaks to the fact, Bavona, that the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network UH are ciphers worldwide.

Harm Bavona, How does that feel? Man? We gotta we just gotta be global. Ye. We're not thinking locally, we are acting globally. Yeah, And I think it's incredible. I've been hit up on Twitter, so far from Denmark, from New Zealand, you know, from places in Europe, and it really, uh, it really is amazing. Thanks to everybody for the love and support. You know, like it on YouTube, Give me a five star rating, write a review, you know, tell

a friend to tell a friend. Let's plug in right now to the stats, overbeat cipher and open up the own lines and go back to them at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine up. Next on the Fantasy Freestyle today is Chris in New Jersey. Chris is in New Jersey. It sounds like he wants to talk about Corey Davis, the hyped rookie who came back and I was like, okay, I guess, but didn't really deliver necessarily. Chris, you're on the Fantasy Freestyle. Hey man,

how are you doing to night? What's going on him? All right? Good man? Good? So I'm wondering what are your thoughts on Corey Davis going forward? I know he had that really great week one. Yeah, uh, you know, they have a really talented receiving corps. I'm just hoping that he can get the kind of touches he needs going forwards. What are your thoughts Yeah, thanks for the call, Chris. I really appreciate that. I um, I agree with you. Listen, the skill set is there, Corey Davis. You know, uh,

the inputs are there. He is a stud in terms of his frame, in terms of his route running, in terms of his hands. The thing is, some of the points you mentioned, Chris, they now all of a sudden, have you know a lot of options in Tennessee. You saw Sure Matthews get a touchdown yesterday. You saw Eric Decker get in the end zone yesterday, you saw Delaney Walker come back and reproductive. And here's the thing. Their team name is Exotic smash Mouth, right, so you know

they still want to win by running the ball. I love Corey Davis, but I don't think he's gonna be a week to week like wide receiver two or three. I think he is a flex play at best right now. But I do think as the year goes on, he will get more and more targets. So I certainly would not drop him. I think there's production coming for you in the Fantasy playoffs with a guy like Corey Davison. By that time, he will leap frog both Eric Decker and Richard Matthews. In my opinion. Up next on the

Fantasy Freestyle is Carlos in Maryland. Carlos and Maryland wants to talk about a wide receiver that had a bye last week over there for the Los Angeles not San Diego superchargeres Carlos and Maryland, you're dropping stats over beat since the Fantasy Freestyle? What's up? Do we lose? Carlos? Their Chris he Hey, what's going on? Carlos? Hey? What's our face? I love camp favorite, Thanks thanks to be honest,

It's not like that wasn't even in my rundown. The only thing that was in my rundown was faith the Hard Knocks team. But you know, I mean, it's crazy how the whole narrative was about how Jamis Winston was going to be such a leader and then he's like getting hurt and then sticking is literally sticking his fingers in the opponent helmet to you know, inside a fight. It's absolutely ridiculous. But don't worry about that. I appreciate the love, Carlos, what you got? How can we help

you moving forward? All had a two persons, I'm fixing three nice I just lost yesterday because of the thy Hilden incident. Right, it's sheen and Allan tradable. Is he tradeable? I mean, what are you trying to get back? I mean Keenan Allen. Sure anybody's tradeable, though, Carlos, that's the thing. Anybody's tradeable. But I will say this, Keenan Allen is someone he's you know, you had his bye week already. I think for the you know, for the rest of

the weeks moving forward. I actually like the Chargers pass matchups for a lot of those games. I do believe, and like he's a serviceable wide receiver to three in my opinion. Why are you trying? What are you trying to get four? Keenan Allen? I mean he's been swamping for like four weeks. Yeah, but then he's been slamping for about full weeks and you know, every game is big right now, absolutely thinking about trying to uh uh Tree? Sure,

I mean crab Tree, they're in the same vein. To be quite honest, I think they're in the same vein. Crab Tree as a I put both Keenan Allen and crab Tree in that kind of like pretty reliable category of wide receivers too. Now I understand Keenan Allen is last three games, you know, forty five yards, forty one yards, sixty one yards. But here's the thing, you really got to look at my men. His targets have still been there. You know, every week's weeks one through six, the lowest

targets he got was nine targets. You know, you gotta think that he's gonna be there those other weeks that you know, he was facing the Denver Broncos. That's a bad you know, that's a good secondary. You know, here's the thing. Keenan Allen's gonna maybe have a down week in Week ten facing that catch scratch fever. But the rest of the matchups I really like for Keenan Allen moving forward between Buffalo Dallas and then in the Fantasy playoffs he gets Kansas City, he gets the Jets. Those

are decent matchups if your team is doing good. I actually think you need to continue to ride with Keenan Allen. I would not look to shop him just yet. I think he's a serviceable wide receiver to three. I understand he hasn't popped in the last three weeks, but the target share has still been there. Carlos, so I would stay put as it relates to Keenan Allen up. Next on the Fantasy Freestyle is Sam in Virginia based. Sam, You're you're on the Fantasy Freestyle dropping stats over beats.

How can we help? Thanks for taking anytime? What's going on? Okay? So one question, Um, if ze does get suspended, do you think a can ride Lady m and An out every week? Yes? Absolutely? Absolutely, especially Sam. Is this PPR standard you're talking about? Yeah? And PPR absolutely okay, Sam, listen, Levan Bell is my number one running back rest of

the season in PPR. Okay, number one. So yes, and then when you talk about Alvin Kamara, you sow it Alvin Kamara did yesterday, you know, a touchdown in the run game, a touchdown in the receiving game. That Saints offense is doing big things. I actually see also Alvin Kamara in PPR settings as a top ten running back rest of the season. I actually, if I were for you, to be quite honest, Sam, I would almost look to try to trade Zeke Elliott for someone because you absolutely

can run out Leve Bell and Alvin Kamara. Okay, I would try to get what you can for Zeke. Now, when you still can. I definitely love a leve Bell and Alvin Kamara tandem in PPR formats. Moving forward. Up next on the Fantasy Freestyle, a true friend of this show, Deny Delly, it is Taco and bad my Taco. What's going on, my friend, Delly? Delly? Man, I'm good, Uh, six and two so far, I need like fourteen points out of you know, I played in league I need, I need, I need like a pick six at a

high Clinton Dicks tonight. Well, it's possible Stafford does turn the ball over. Listen, man, I'm in the same boat. I was six and two going into this week. It looks like I'm gonna take a big l in my biggest home league, making me six and three, but still very much in playoff position. So we're all good. Taco, what's up? Same here? And also points leader, so you're in good ship. You're in good ship. But my biggest question for you is, uh, I've got Devonte Freeman and uh,

and I'm looking to possibly trade one. I'm wondering which one you think, and also possibly looking to trade Kirk Cousins. Uh. I'm not as big a fan of his playoff matchups as I am Derek Carrs and just just wondering your thoughts on that. And before you say anything, Uh, I'm glad I got to call in tonight. We've been working late past a week or so and I've been listening, but I haven't been able to call. I'm glad that you got it as well. Taco. You're always welcome listen.

I like what you're talking about. The Kirk Cousins playoff matchups don't scare me. Uh. The Week sixteen is a problem with Denver, but I'm not mad at Arizona all the Chargers weeks fourteen and fifteen. I understand that Week sixteen against Denver could be a problem, but Kirk Cousins is one of these volume throwers. I will tell you though, Taco, it may be time to see what you can get for Davante Freeman, if you could flip him and you could get a real like an ascending RB and RB

two somewhere that's on the right on the come. I do think, listen. I don't think they haven't figured out in Atlanta and unfortunately, UM, it could be time, but don't sell him for pennies on the dollar. A lot of people want to sell Freeman. Don't sell him for pennies on the dollar, because he's got like the since twice. Still,

he's got Carolina and the Dome still. So the matchups are okay, But I understand you're thinking it may be time to cut bait on a guy like Devonte Freeman because Sarkisian, their offensive coordinator, does not know what is going on over there. Um, last up today on the Fantasy Freestyle, our last caller is rolland and Dallas Rollers rolland you are on the Fantasy Freestyle. How can I help you moving forward? Thanks for taking my call and I love your show brother anytime. I appreciate the love.

How can we help? Okay? I have Tom Brady at quarterback right now. I hate to match up to match up against Denver next week. Yeah, against Dever. I was wondering if I should Josh McCown on on the waiver wire or Eli Lanning. Um, listen, you know you're not crazy. You're not crazy. And I like Josh McCown's matchup next week against the Tampa Bay Bucks. Right They've got Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay can be had. Via the past game, Josh

McCown has proved to be Okay. So while I understand what you're saying, and I understand how ELI has the good matchup against San Francisco, I can't go against Tom Brady. You gotta start Tom Brady week in week out. That falls under the category for me, Roland, of not getting too cute, man, you know, because here's what what would you hate more if Josh McCown had like does pretty much what Tom Brady does, Because it's not like Josh McCown's gonna throw for like four touchdowns and three d

fifty yards. You know, he might outscore tom Brady by like three points. Or would it be that you leave tom Brady on your bench and he pops off. Carson Wentz hit him for four touchdowns yesterday. I think tom Brady can to Roland. I understand you're thinking, but don't get too cute. When we come back, I'll give you my preview of Monday Night Football, and we talked about this trivia contest to get you tickets to the Big

Game where Dustin Timberlake is a halftime show. Thanks to everybody who called into the Fantasy Freestyle, which your boy speeds, come all right back. Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Fantasy Freestyle. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a bunch of punk CEO. This whole season of hard knocks was built as Jamis Winston being a leader. No he is not. Okay, what are you doing running out onto the field, poking in the helmet on one of your opponents, instincating a fight?

That is not leadership. Captain quarterback, face of the franchise behavior, Jamis Winston needs to take a long, hard look at what leadership should in fact look like. Week days from seven to eight pm. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. You know what it is. We're dropping stats over beef here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. They shout out to my

last two callers. Okay, um Rolling over there in Dallas talking about how much he liked Derek Carr matchups in the playoffs. So I want to check in the break and you know Rolling is right at Kansas City home for Dallas at Philadelphia. All three of those teams bottom ten in the secondary against quarterbacks. The only thing that would cause me pause rolling in anybody else out there is two of those three games are on the road. Bad things happen when you go to Philadelphia on that grass,

bad things happen when you go to arrow Head. But I do agree with you the matchups for Derek Carr look incredible. And and and also Taco my man, who's looking to sell Devanta Freeman, do me a favor. Don't sell for pennies on the dollar. Okay, if they figure it out and decide who could be their lead dog, I still believe it could be DeVonta Freeman. But something is definitely going on in Atlanta. Steve Sarkisian has not figured it out. I told you about my Monday night football preview.

I like the Lions tonight. I do not think Brett Hunley has enough to raise all boats. I think, you know, he's gonna look a little bit better than he did in his first outing against the Saints. But I like Matthew Stafford and this Lions offense and Jim Bob Cooter to attack this Green Bay Packers defense. I think they could put up twenty eight thirty kind of points. I don't think the Packers get above twenty call it twenty Detroit for me, So that means I am laying the

points with the home dogs. You know that something I don't usually do. My diamond today is Golden Tate. I think Golden Tate is one of the like Douggie Baldwin, one of the most undervalued and underrated wide receivers in the NFL. Diamond in the roughest. Golden Tate today twenty six against ride receivers is that Green Bay Packers defense. Okay, so I like that. If um you want to gazey for today, For me, it's Davante Adams. I think he's the biggest beneficiary of having um Aaron Rodgers. He's the

touchdown dependent kind of guy. He had a little bit of a bond, the familiarity of chemistry with and Rodgers. And if he doesn't get into the end zone, I don't think Davante Adams is worth your roster. You're starting roster spot, shall I say so? I'm gonna have Tait's my diamond. I'm gonna have Davante Adams is my fool gazey. Remember I tell you about the Monday night football trick. There's some some guys you could use it on this week time. Montgomery is only owned in seventy six seventy

six percent of leagues. That means a quarter of you right now watching the game, or in a league where you can grab Time Montgomery right now. I would do that if you could. I think Time Montgomery gets more and more of the opportunity. I think this is a regular committee. I don't think this is Aaron Jones's job. I think this is a committee, and I think Time Montgomery has the PPR part of that committee. So I actually believe that Time Montgomery is valuable. He's available in

a quarter of leagues. Also, THEO Rittic, THEO Rittic is only owned in forty one percent of leagues. If you are in a PPR format, you need to find out if theoretic is available in your league. But I do, in fact like the Detroit Lions tonight. Like I said, call it only seven twenty up there in lambeau Field. Also, as you guys know, we're doing this promotion with d k m S to help the fight against blood cancer. You could register to be a blow bone marrow donor

to be a blood stem cell donor. Okay, it's really great. And remember we're gonna be doing these trivia contests this week on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network on Wednesday. It's on Roado Experts in the morning. On Thursday, it's on The Frenzy with Corey Parson. On Friday, it'll be on on Target Fantasy. While you Gotta do is call in when they open up the contest. Answer four questions right in a row of progressive difficulty, and you will win tickets for two up there to the Big Game in

February where Justin timber Lake is the halftime performer. Like I said, though, we got some poll questions up as well on Twitter, a lot of people say the Buck Starter, who were their fool gayzies this week? They really hurt them. Robert Woods was a popular diamond in the rough. Remember I told you about Jared Goff tomorrow's show, We're gonna give you my hot waiver wire ad. There wasn't a lot of big injuries, so we're gonna be dig and

in the crates for some of those. And we're also you know, should you spend your fat budget or not?
