(00:22):
sipe book on the microphone. You know that I'm one

(00:42):
It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Spies, a
k A to spitting Statistician a k a to stable
Genius and vocal minority. And welcome to another edition of
the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network,
episode number four hundred and twenty. It is the four
hundred and twenty convening of the Stats over Beats Cipher
(01:04):
where we help you win your league's and win that
cash and we put the fun and functional sports content
all at the same time. Jeremy McMahon, spark it up,
my friend. It is episode four hundred and twenty. We
got a great show for you as usual. Listen. I
know what number show it is, but we got listen.
It's week twelve of the NFL and the fantasy football season.
(01:25):
We've got to look back at. We've got a big
time Monday night football game. I'll tell you why. I'm
not only looking at the odds for tonight, but I
might place a wager for the futures that I think
you need to do actually right now. And it may
not be on the quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens. We'll
get into that a little bit later on. We've got listen,
we've got waiver wires, we've got diamonds and full gazees.
(01:49):
We've got a big time update in the stats over
beats League, and of course we have to let you
know on the injuries. But before we go there, listen,
we got a um we gotta pull question up as
well on Twitter. I want to know if you guys
are in the playoffs or not, because the Status will
beat Cipher we win our leagues and when net cash
big shout out to the people that have voted so far.
And of course my man Henry Henderson. You know, Jilly
(02:10):
Dilley is like the den mother of the Cipher after
last year's issues obviously with Jennifer, and we're happy that
she is, you know, making a recovery as well. The
Henderson's have to be the family of the Cipher and
he says, because of my advice, he's locked in for
a bye, has the most point in his league. Week fifteen,
here we come. So when we do the waiver wires
a little bit later on in the show, I will
(02:30):
let you know who to the target looking ahead to
those playoffs weeks week fourteen and fifteen. But let's get
into it. I got a couple of injuries that we
need to get after before because of Week twelve. Right,
the first one, the big one, Eric Ebron has been
sent to injured reserve. Alright, He's gonna have procedures on
not one, but both of his ankles. Doyle rules time. Okay,
(02:51):
I'll tell you exactly why you need to pick up
Doyle if you need a tight end, and there's a
couple of teams out there that you've probably lost the
tight end over the last month or so. So that's
definitely one. I don't usually talk about offensive tackles, but
there were two key tackle injuries yesterday. Okay. First of all,
Brian Bulaga for the Green Bay Packers with a knee
(03:12):
that is going to impact not only you know, the
run game, but Aaron Rodgers as well. You saw they
didn't do much against San Francisco. I'm not saying it
wasn't the San Francisco defense that did that, but losing
Bilaga for any stretch would hurt them in their battle
against the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North Division title.
And also, listen, Saints tackle Um Armstead. He goes down
(03:32):
with a high ankle sprain. We're talking about everyone thinks
the Saints is one of the top contenders in the NFC.
This could have an impact as well. Listen, I say
all the time, offensive line play eviscerates teams chances. I've
been talking for years about teams like the Texans, the
Vikings and others that have gone down because of offensive
line play. If this befalls the Green Bay Packers or
(03:54):
the New Orleans Saints, those you know star elderly quarterbacks
have problems Golden Tate in the concussion protocol, Carson wentz
with a hand, although they say he's going to be
good to go. In some young quarterback news, First of all,
Denver has said they may they're considering activating and starting
Drew Lock this weekend against I believe the Chargers and
(04:16):
the experiment is over in Cincinnati. I told you Ryan
Finley was gonna make starts. I just didn't say he
was necessarily gonna finish the season or which starts he
was gonna make. They said they have evaluated him, and
in Cincinnati Bengals are going back to the red rifle.
Andy Dalton, Um, did you guys see this? Also? Real quick?
You know, Danny? Did you? Can you show the people
(04:36):
the video of what happened in Hart, Harvard and Yale
over the weekend? Play the video if you've got that
ready to go, Danny, look at this. In halftime, these
guys and this is students from Harvard and from Yale,
they go onto the field to protest climate change. Okay,
the second half was delayed by about an hour. Okay,
(04:57):
you can take that off. And they literally halted the
game to make this protest. Now, I ain't mad at you, alright,
forty two Yelle students whore arrested. But in the chat room,
what I want to know is, what is the weirdest
kind of like delay you have ever been at a game?
You know, not just like a rain delay, where you
ever at like a lightning delay? Were you ever at
you know, I don't know a delay when it was
a bat in the arena or something crazy you have
(05:17):
to worry about a protest. I was in a game
Yankees A's in Oakland where a bank of lights in
that old Ask Stadium went out and they had to
really wait, literally until some maintenance guy went up in
a ladder and climbed up and like hit the circuit
breaker or whatever it was. I want to own the
chat room hashtag stats over beats. What is the craziest
delay you've ever experienced live in a game? And I
(05:40):
ain't mad at these guys. They got their message out, um,
and they didn't have to spend you know, five point
six million dollars because by the way, that's how much
a Super Bowl ad is going for. And yeah, they're
all sold already. So Danny this episode four twenty, I
couldn't light up in the middle of the state in
the studio he had Studio thirty four. But I do
you have, you know, some gummies. I do have some mints,
(06:01):
and I have these pot rocks that are supposed to
go crazy in my mouth and then we'll see the effects.
So as we go to break, let's make sure we're ready. Hey,
Jeremy McMahon, do it. It's episode four d and twenty
with the stats over beat cipher. Uh, Danny, we talked
about this before. These pot rocks, I just I just
put them in my mouth, right, Okay? And then here's
(06:24):
the thing. How am I gonna tell everybody that it's
episode four twenty of the Fantasy Freestyle rideo on Sports
Grid when I can't do that all? There's only one
way to find out. It's like, MS are the sounds
in my mouth? Guys? Oh boy, Let's see what happens
on the other side of the break. Danny, I ate
the whole thing. I wasn't supposed to eat the whole thing, Danny.
(06:45):
I really did though, I wasn't supposed to do all.
This NFL season is in elf handa, so you can

(07:32):
hundred and twenty of The Fantasy Freestyle. Hey, Jeremy McMahon, No,
the letters are unfortunately not CBD. Next to where it
says milligrams, it says zero milligrams of CBD, ten milligrams
of those other three letters, and then there's a big
exclamation point. You guys in California know about the big
exclamation point label, right. But in any event, it is
(07:55):
episode four and twenty. Terry are in the chat room
talking about that she won. Once went to a game
and it was a delay for a fight. There was
a fight almost like some Miles Garrett nonsense going on,
almost like last chance you or something like that. So
keep leving me know. In the chat room. We also
got the pull question up on Twitter at Spitting Speeds.
You already know this. If you are a tree stats
(08:18):
over beats head, you say you're in the playoffs. Strong
styles in the playoffs except for the stats over beats league.
We'll talk about that Clayton Trey hand in the playoffs,
Henry attributing some of that to the cipher um x
RP Esquire also first place. By going on, it looks
like in both of those leagues, you know what it is.
So let's give you that information to help you continue
(08:38):
to win your leagues and win ned cash. Um here's
the first thing I want to say before we get
into the takeaways of the week. Okay, we have now
finished the buys. We're going into week thirteen. There's one
regular season week left and then your playoffs. You now
this is a shift. The buys are over for the
first third. You know, twelve weeks of the season, you're
(09:00):
Annecy football team. What you also, you needed depth right
with buys. You knew there was gonna be injuries, that
sort of thing. It's now different now, especially at the
running back position. I'm teaching y'all how to fish people
and plus that are in the playoffs and have a
by It is time for you to cast the side
(09:21):
your wide receiver five, you're running back four. You don't
need them anymore. Of much bigger value are the cuffs
to your main dudes. Okay, So Alexander Madison Pollard, Jamal
Williams Uh even after yesterday were shot penny right, these
guys become incredibly important because here's the thing, here's what
(09:41):
you have to think about. What is your A lineup
you have to assume at this point because if one
of your studs going, if Christian McCaffrey tears his A
c L this weekend, sorry, you know, what are you
gonna do? You're gonna put in bonafon or whatever. But hey,
these things happen. You have to now get yourself ready
to have your A lineup. You don't need the depth anymore, okay,
(10:07):
because you're never gonna be starting your wide receiver five
again now that the buyers are done, and if you
actually needed to go to that person, your playoff matchups
is in disarray anyway, So go get the cuff instead.
I think a second tight end at this point of
the season. Now get ahead of it. You don't want
to be somewhere where oh you know, Kelsey, Henry Andrews,
(10:27):
whoever it is, all right, goes down and then you're
at replacement level. Get ahead of it now, Okay, this
is very important in this week. You need to get
those cuffs and really think about what is that elite
lineup and sacrifice if you still have a trading deadline
things of that nature. Still do it and also know
your settings. Okay. Sometimes Billy Hayes is in the chat,
(10:48):
he knows this. In the G S T League, Jim Ross,
others have been in that league. No, in that league,
you can't. This is the last week to spend your
fab budget. You cannot make any moves after this week
in this league. So no, you're setting. So what do
I have to do. I have to get a second defense.
I have to get a second kicker just in case. Okay,
So no your settings and start to organize yourself accordingly
(11:10):
as we teach you how to fish. Here instead of
just giving you the fish, do I start this guy
or this guy? It's more complicated than that. And once
you know how to think about it, like the stats
over beat Cipher, you wind up in the playoffs getting
a by you know, being eligible? What what is that
of the time? All right, biggest things for me? And
first I want to tip my quarter tip my cap
to Frank Gore for passing Barry Sanders after sixty five
(11:32):
yards yesterday. Now is fifteen thousand, two hundred and eighty
nine yards in fifteen years. And that's important. Okay? Was
he ever the best running back of all time, of
of his of the year or in the league. No,
but fifteen years is nothing. A scoff at fifteen thousand
yards is not in a scoff at He now is
behind only Emmett and Walter Payton, Barry at fourth, then
Curtis Martin another kind of almost compiler when you look
(11:54):
at these amount of years. Though Barry Sanders did this
in ten years. That's why he's the best running back
I have ever seen. But this, you know, Gore number
three all time. Adrian Peterson is sixth all time almost
at fourteen hundred. He's even gets the fourteen hundred I
think this season. But then it's Shady McCoy at eleven thousand.
He's twenty second all time. And the fourth active running
(12:17):
back is all the way back at seventy first of
all time, and it's mark ingram In. What about sixty
six hundred yards? And I'm gonna tell you something why
this accomplishment from Gore is so amazing. We're never gonna
see this again. Okay. There are two factors. One is
that we are now in a passing league. Running backs
just don't accumulate this many yards anymore. In the passing
league we're now in in two thousand and nineteen and beyond.
(12:38):
And the other thing is players careers are just not
this long anymore. With the player safety and the CT
and players just retiring earlier on. This is a record
that is not going to get broken anytime soon. And
when this wave of guys, you know, besides Gore, when
guys like Adrian Peterson, Shady McCoy are gone, we're not
going to see people even crack, in my opinion, the
top five anytime soon. So witness the longevity of his career.
(13:02):
Great guy as well, Frank Gore. We tip our cap um.
I also want to talk about it's interesting that the Steelers,
for a takeaway from me, the Steelers went to Duck Hodges,
and I think this is a gutsy call by Mike Tomlin, okay,
and something that I agree with. But I think it's
interesting that what do you know now it's live that
Mason Rudolph may not be there starting when they play
(13:22):
the rematch against the Cleveland Browns. Right, And remember how
I say, sometimes injuries give cover for a lot of things,
like it has with Cam Newton, like it has with A. J. Green,
like it has with Matthew Stafford, like it did for
a while with Nick Foles when they figured out Gardner Minshew.
You know, maybe this is cover for uh not not
the heavyweight rematch that we're gonna see, because there's gonna
(13:43):
be a lot of buzz about this. There's gonna be
a lot of tension. There's gonna be a lot of
energy in that one, and there'd be less if it
was you know, the Hodges and not Mason Rudolph. But
I digress. I do think it's ironic. Let's say that
the injury right now in this case, you know, the
benching could provide some cover. Also, I say it all
the time, and we'll get into it with what I
got right and what I got wrong. But it was
the same silent killers these things. Listen, I say it
(14:07):
all the time, and people don't realize that this offensive
line play. There were only um, there were eight teams
that gave up four or more sacks. Seattle was the
only one of those eight teams that won yesterday. And
they have maybe the m VP candidate, a guy who's
used to running for his life and knows how to
do it in a way that makes plays, doesn't get
hurt and with a playmaker. Right. But but look at this.
(14:29):
You know, Atlanta six sacks, they lose, Detroit six sacks,
they lose, Miami four, Carolina four, since four, Green Bay
gave up five to that San Francisco defense, and then
the Denver Broncos give up four sacks and lose to
the Buffalo Bills. I'm telling you this offensive line play
people don't think about it because it's not fantasy relevant
in the box score, but it continues to be the
(14:49):
silent kicker, and so does kicking guys. Listen, Rosas missed
two field goals for the Giants, they lose by five
sly and Carolina miss is two extra points in the
field goal they lose by three. Prator in Detroit. I've
talked to you about vinitary for the Colts. These are
the things because now we're getting to the point of
the season where kream's gonna rise to the crop. Right, penalties, sacks,
(15:11):
you know, kicking, misqes, things of that nature. The turn
of that is what's going to get you, because look,
the Patriots don't do that right, and they're the default
team standing there in the clubhouse. Like I say, unless
an amazing human being, Lane Lamar Mahomes or DeShawn winds
up actually having a playmaking day. Other than that, it's
just that they don't beat themselves in the way all
(15:32):
these other teams do. And even when you're about to
get a win, some of these guys beat themselves. And
that brings me to Dwayne Haskins, right, he thinks he's
gonna get his win. He does ultimately get a win,
but he's at the crowd taking selfies, you know, and
they couldn't find them for the victory formation. That's a
little ridiculous. Now, I'm not gonna go crazy here right
and say, oh my god, you know no, but it's
(15:52):
just a bad look for that franchise that has so
many other weird things happening, from the Trent Williams to
everything that happens with Dan Snyder to out you know,
you pile all on and why give them, you know,
a reason to pile on. But I digress. Check it out.
What we're gonna do when we come back on the
other side of the break is we're gonna talk about
what speeds got right, what speeds got wrong? Okay, and
(16:13):
then we'll do the waiver wire and I know it's
a little bit different now, right because listen, ay, there
weren't that many big time injuries, you know in yesterday's action. Okay,
the ebron thing is one, but so the waiver wire
maybe a little bit less. But we'll cover it and
then we'll talk Monday Night football, Danny. I know I
wasn't supposed to eat the whole thing, and it was ten,
(16:33):
but I got this gummy also, and it is episode
four twenty after all, Danny, Right, so I should pop
one in, right, and welcome to popping off. These things
were all sugary also, so that's why I got my
you know, my beer, Dilly dilly, That's why I got
a little ice coffee to wash it down. People were
saying Coca cola in there as well. Hit me in
the chat room, let me know what was the weirdest
delay you've ever had? How you think I'm gonna be
doing on in game live in about an hour? And uh,
(16:56):
any other questions you have for me. I'm gonna have
this little gummy bear action. It's like a vitamin, you
know what they say, right, One a day keeps the
doctor away, and then uh, we'll look at what we got, right,
what we got wrong in the Waiver Wire. After a
week twelve going into the last regular season week, It's
Fantasy Freestyle Episode four hundred and twenty. NFL Season is

twenty of the Fantasy Freestyle. I don't know, Danny, when
(18:03):
we go out to break, you'll have to tell me
what the little exclamation point and what the letters THHC
ME and I'm not sure, but I digress. We gotta
read so we can't confuse the two. Let's not mix
these guys up. What I gotta let you guys know

your bet. That's points bet dot Com slash grid and
to the promo code grid and get your two risk
free bets up to a thousand dollars today. All right,
we are back at his episode number four hundred and
twenty of the Fantasy Freestyle Betting has a question in
the chat room, asked me about Penny. Yes, I do
(19:03):
think you need to get Penny guys as a Carson
owner because here's the other thing, and Ben, you know this,
Carson has the fumbling issue, right, and I could see
them putting Carson in mothballs for a week or a
week and a half, and you don't need that week
to be week f and fifteen when you're in You're
when you're in your semifinals. That's the exact kind of
thing that is a reason why would you have the
(19:24):
last man on your roster right now when like you
would need four or five six things to happen to
actually start that guy in a semifinal matchup. Meanwhile, Penny,
all you need is your RB two, a guy you've
been relying on all year because he's actually running back
ten so far in the entire season, to to get
benched because of a fumble or to teris meniscus next week.
(19:45):
So yes, Ben and others, Yes, I do think about Penny. Ben,
though you're also walsking about Matt Ryan. No, I'm not
benching him or stream and rest of the season. I'm
fine with Matt Ryan. I know they didn't win yesterday.
I know Matt shab came in to clean up, but
I am not worried about that. Right, guys, What I
got right? What I got wrong? I told you guys.
One of the things I got right was what the
(20:05):
Eagles are with Jordan Howard weeks ago, I told you
guys that when the Eagles found the Jordan Howard running game,
it was like their left hand, so that when teams
shut them down, they wouldn't have Carson Wentz become a
volume thrower. They'd be able to keep with their run game.
That wasn't the case yesterday. Right now, Miles Sanders was fine,
(20:26):
he went twelve of sixty sixty three, another three catches,
but they didn't have that threat and they abandoned it,
and Carson Wentz again became a volume thrower thirty three
or forty five. The fumbles, the turnovers, That's what I'm
worried about. When it's a volume you need to be
able to have that balance, and that balance for the
Eagles is Jordan Howard, not Miles Sanders. Miles Sanders is fine,
(20:47):
just doesn't offer what they have they need. Howard back.
I was right about that, also saying with Oakland, I
said the same thing, guys. Listen, Josh Jacobs does the
same exact thing. These Raiders are not the same. Look
what had been when they go up against the number
one run defense in the NFL. Josh Jacobs goes ten
thirty four, right, and then Carr has to have it
(21:09):
on his arm and it doesn't work. No touchdowns, only
a hundred and twenty seven yards. This is the same
thing I say about Whence all the time or a
golf in these rams offense tonight or Matt Ryan or
Philip Rivers right and all the Raiders only other like
times when Josh Jacobs does not run well, Raiders loose.
He got forty four yards against Minnesota, they lose. They
(21:31):
got sixty three yards against Houston, they lose. Right. That
is the formula. And I've been telling you guys about this.
These teams, you don't want them as volume throwers. When
they find balance, they are better. What's real for the
real team and the fantasy team are not always the
same thing. And that absolutely continued. I was a prop
bet machine in week eleven. Okay, I told you not
only if you listen to Pro Football Today on Sunday
(21:53):
morning me we got Mike blew at Joe ROHNERI we
got Ariel Epstein, new addition to the network, killing it right. Now,
we got Drew Dinkmeyer who comes on DFS glory. Okay,
I gave out four prop bets. They all hit. I
told you Josh Jacobs under bang. I told you Carson
Wentz over attempts because I thought of the volume throwing bang.
I told you DeVante Parker would go over. I've been
(22:16):
saying DeVante Parker for weeks. His prop bet was fifty
eight and a half. He goes six for nine one.
I'm telling you without Preston Williams there and Fitzpatrick still
slinging it, DeVante Parker is the number one wide out
there and has been performing as such over the last month.
I also knew Courtland Sutton under. His total was seventy
seven and a half yards. I said to go under.
(22:37):
He went one for twenty seven. All right, Brandon Allen,
thing is coming to an end. The wind up in Buffalo,
the number three defense Tradavion White. These defensive matchups matter,
and I was telling you to do it via the
prop bet world. I was. I believe in bow I
told you I believe in both flex all right. I
believe he is a flex option both Scarborough. I told
(22:59):
you in the waiver wires last week. He did it again,
eighteen carries for nine yards. Yes, he lost a fumble,
but what I am more encouraged by is that he
got eighteen carries. Ty Johnson only got four. J D.
Mckissic only gets one. Moving forward, this could be both
Scarborough in this role, and I think you're gonna see
it on Thanksgiving Day. Uh in that early game and
(23:20):
the last thing that I would say I got all right,
you know, the schedules opening up for Damn Gaze and
now he's got a stay of execution. But what you
need to know in fantasy is that Sam Donald has
storn for eight touchdowns only two picks in his last
four games. He has been quarterback four over the last month.
It has impacts for not only him, but Lev Bell,
Robby Anderson, Jamison Crowder and even a tight end diamond
(23:42):
than the rough Ryan Griffin. I told you about all
of them, and that is why I think, listen, it
continues to rise all boats. And listen, they got they
got uh Cincinnati and Miami in the next two games
therefore and seven, no reason they can't six and seven
after that. I know it sounds like good for Jets fans, right,
(24:04):
But I always said this was gonna give Adam Gaze
a stay of execution, and unfortunately I don't know that
I actually like it. Things that Speed's got wrong though,
And listen, I'm one of the only people here on
this network or anywhere we hold ourselves accountable. I don't
change the narrative to say I got it right all
the time. And one of the things I got wrong
last week on Thursday night was Jonathan Williams. I said
(24:25):
that this was not going to be the plug in play.
Why though, I thought because Jordan Wilkins was going to
take peace of the pie and there was no Jordan Wilkins,
and that cleared the way for Jonathan Williams to put
it in my eye. I was wrong to fade him.
He had another twenty six carries a hundred and four
yards in one touchdown. Here's the thing, though, I still
believe Jordan Wilkins is going to eventually be a piece
(24:46):
of the puzzle, and that means I still would not
go back to Jonathan Williams in this way. You gotta
think Nike Hines mixes in as well. I think a
committee is the way they're going to go. He put
it in my eye once if you want to go
to the well, what am I gonna say? Right? Also,
at we have to acknowledge that we got it wrong,
calling se Kwon Barkley the number one overall pick. You know,
you got Christian McCaffrey doing his thing, Dalvin Cook doing
(25:07):
his thing, but everybody went se kwon number one. Listen,
he had fifty nine yards but only two catches for
one yard. And you expected a lot of stuff out
of the run game, out of the passing game from
se Kwon. Also, he's entering now and I know he
missed three games, but he's he's now running back twenty two,
you know, and Zeke Elliott's running back eight. Alvin Kamara,
who missed two games, is running back. But you know, like,
(25:28):
would you have ever thought in the top ten you
would have had a guy like Austin Ekeler Chris Carson
who just talked about you know, and it's such a
war of attrition. But that's why it's such It's a
fifty fifty hit rate in the first round. That's why
we try to tell you in August what we like
as far as diamonds and food. Gaz He's also I
was telling you about the division unders and I said
these in division games second time around. At this point
in the season, the unders were a trend, and I
(25:50):
got that one wrong. The NFC South collectively put that
one in my eye, you know, the UM I was
on Tampa and the Atlanta under I even gave that
out on pay Atreon. I did go too out of
three after going three and oh last week on Patreon UM.
But that game zoomed over. I did not know that
Vida Vella and and Dominican sue, we're both gonna score
(26:12):
touchdowns too, defensive line touchdowns for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But they get the w and listen, Godwin and Evans
are torching it there. The first set of teammates to
both go for a thousand yards. It's only happened three
times this millennium, all right, and it's happened for them.
It happened once with Rams, and I believe once. The
cults may have done it as well. No, it was
(26:32):
Emmanuel Sanders and to Marius Thomas for the Broncos did
it once. And another thing I got wrong, I gotta
tell you to God's honest truth is Ryan Tannehill. You know,
going into this year, I did say, much like with
Andy Dalton, I did say that Mariotto was on a
short leash, and I did say that Tannehill was gonna
make starts, but I sawt of thought Tannehill was just
(26:54):
a guy. Much like Sam Donald in the last month
is helping people get to fantasy playoffs in two QB leagues.
Ryan Tannehill is doing the same thing and it needs
to be kind of it needs to be recognized. It
really does. Listen, he has now started five games. The
Titans are four and one. In those games, they were
(27:14):
two and four with Mariota. There is no you know
they're six and five, they're in the playoff chase, and
their four and one with Ryan Tannehill under center. The
Titans have averaged twenty nine point four points a game
with Ryan Tannehill under center. They beat the Chiefs and Mahomes.
Remember that, what was that like? Thirty five, thirty two.
Recently they do it again, putting the forty against division
(27:38):
foe last yesterday Jacksonville. Ryan Tannehill has twenty four Fantasy
points per game, ten touchdowns in the five games he's started.
Well and then a huge game this week against Indianapolis
in the a f C and then they have listen,
who do you trust more in that a f C? Okay,
I'll give the Bills one wild card spot. But between
(27:59):
Oakland if you shut down their run game like I've
showed you Indie right, who who? Who? Who needs a kicker?
And we don't know about their running back? Cleveland? Who's
fight club? Pittsburgh fight Club? Or these Tennessee Titans who
(28:19):
are four and one with Ryan Tannehill as their quarterback.
Why doesn't Tannehill get the love of you know, Kyle
Allen Gardner, Minshew Teddy Bridgewater and others. Now, Tannehill now
has had the same kind of stretch and has not
turned into a pumpkin and is performing as a top
(28:39):
quarterback that is actually gonna get teams to their fantasy playoffs.
Speed's got that one wrong. I gotta admit it, all right.
So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna cope go
to break its episode four twenty Danny. Let's open up
the phone lines on the other side of the break. Okay,
the number is eight four four eight four three six
eight seven nine. You like how I remember the phone number? Right?
(29:00):
Eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.
We'll talk waiver Wire. We'll talk Monday Night football and
stats over Beats League and Danny. As we go out,
we gotta see people wondering if it's CBD or like,
you know, the other stuff. Feel free if you want.
We can zoom in and see kind of what I'm doing,
and you know what, it's time for another break. It's
the last break of the show, right, Danny, Time for
(29:21):
another's time for another gummy. Right. We gotta celebrate this
episode four hundred and twenty, Danny, We're going way above
what I said I would do in Game Live. It's
gonna be fun. Stats over beat, Cipher deserves it. Episode

This episode four hundred and twenty yere of the Fantasy
Freestyle with making it pop off, Yo, Lance, No, you
need to upgrade from Kalin Plage and Wayne Gauman. I'm sorry,
brother man. And in Studio thirty four. No, we do
not have a helmet uh for the Baltimore Ravens. Otherwise
I would have that up on the UH. I'd have
(30:56):
it up on the set as well. Let's have people
win their leagues and win that cast Le's talk about
the way for whire at the running back position. Al Right,
here are the guys that I think you need to attack,
especially if you're the owner of these handcuffs. All right,
remember as we move into week thirteen in your playoffs,
you need to, you know, trim the fat at the
bottom part of your roster after the by and really
look to prioritize these handcuffs. Rashad Penny only nineteen percent owned.
(31:19):
If you own Chris Carson, you needed to have him already.
I don't care that he went fourteen and a touchdown.
You need him on your roster because of the fumbling
issues that Carson has had Okay, so you definitely need
to get that. I'd say the same honestly if you're
a Connor owner. And I know some people have been
asking me about Benny Snell. Yeah, you gotta, you gotta
(31:40):
pick up Benny Snell. Here's the thing I don't know
about Connor. He I said it last week. They've been
using it as a commercial on the network for the
last week or so. All Right, I don't know about Connor. Okay.
They gave him a chance and he came back and
the shoulder was not good to go, similar to what
happened with Adam Feeling. It's when a player goes into
it thinking that they're cleared and then they reaggravated or
(32:01):
they realized they can't go mid game. They are going
to miss multiple games. I said that about Feeling, I'm
saying it about Connor. Okay. And what we also now
saw yesterday is that Samuel's is not there like running back,
he is straight going to be there out of the
badfield guy. So who does that go to? Maybe it's Edmonds,
maybe it's Snell. You need a piece of this, especially
if you are a Connor owner. He's only owned in
(32:22):
five percent of leagues. I like Shady McCoy. Guys, he's
available in half of leagues. I saw him at literally
fifty owned. He was more effective than Damian Williams in
that Monday night game in Mexico, and they were talking
about how they just gave him a week off for rest.
He wasn't in the doghouse. Okay, this was like load management.
And now Damian Williams has banged up. Okay, if I
(32:45):
told you that in your playoff semifinals in Week fifteen,
I could gift you could right now pick up the
starting running back for the Kansas City Chiefs. You have
that opportunity in half of leagues. I think Shady will
be ascending and I like that Jonathan Illiams. Listen, he
did it again. He put it in my eye. He's
still only owned in two thirds of leagues. Give it.
It's worth a look and also worth a look. Remember
(33:07):
these teams coming off their bys, alright, most of these
backs are definitely owned. But I checked and Kenyan Drake
is unowned in a quarter of leagues because of the bye,
So that is worth a look at the wide receiver position. Um,
remember how I talked about Ryan Tannehill well, listen, guys.
A J. Brown is only owned in sixteen percent of leagues,
and the talent has been there. The talent. Talent has
(33:28):
always been there, even before his hundred thirty five yard
touchdown performance yesterday. He leads the Tennessee Titans, this team
I was just telling you about that could be the
sixth seed in the a f C. This team that
is now four and one under Ryan Tannehill scoring points
a game. A J. Brown leads this team in targets,
in yards, in touchdowns, and yet at sixteen percent owned,
(33:52):
he's below Corey Davis, He's below Delaney Walker. A J.
Brown should and could get picked up in your league
for a little bit of a run. Let's say you
lost someone like Mohammed Sanu you know, or someone like
that that you've been relying on juju you don't know
about just yet. Right well, Fuller is now back and
owned in only two thirds of leagues. It's worth a look.
(34:12):
He has an important role for that offense, going seven
one forty last week on Thursday night, and I talked
about Sam Donald and the impact there. Robbie Anderson is
only fifty owned people, and I like him. Remember, I
said the next few few weeks Cincinnati in Miami, He's
scored in his last two games. This coincides with Sam
Donald was always his favorite target. Okay, revert back. What
(34:35):
did you think about Robbie Anderson and draft season? We
were talking about him as a low level wide out three,
certainly a flex play. Now his quarterback gets mono. They
look like a laughing stock and everyone forgets them. It's
coming back and social your perception of Robbie Anderson. James
Washington as well in Pittsburgh. I told you without these guys,
he was gonna be the big stud. He delivered with
(34:56):
that big time touchdown. We still don't know about the
quarterback or juju, but I still think Washington deserves to
be on rosters. And I said it before, I'll say
it again. Devanta Parker, people another six nine one. I
have been saying Devanta Parker for like three or four
weeks in a row, and all he has done has
been a top ten wide receiver in Fantasy over the
last month. I don't know how many times. I don't
(35:17):
know how he is still unowned in three and a
quarter of leagues at the tight end position. Listen, it's
gotta be Doyle. It's gotta be Doyle now. With Ebron
to I are, Doyle has only owned in thirty five
percent of leagues. And let me tell you, Ebron was
tight end fourteen with eighty six Fantasy points in PPR.
Doyle was tight end eighteen. You add them up, that's
a hundred sixty four points. You know what that would
(35:39):
be tight end two. That's above zach Ertz right now.
And I don't care about mo ALEI Cox. This is
gonna be Doyle Doyle, Doyle Doyle rules. He should be
the number one tight end ad Jared Cook has been
good since thereby and since his return a touchdown in
two of his last three. He's now humming with Breeze
owned in you know, a good chunk of leagues, but
worth the look. Ryan Griffin scored a touchdown again, someone
(36:01):
I mentioned last week for the Jets in because it's
not Chris Herndon. You could do the Monday night football
trick with Gerald Everett tonight. If you want on the
Rams tight end, he is a viable piece of that offense.
He's like a tight end fourteen overall. If you need someone,
those are guys that I would look to. But definitely,
Jack Doyle. All right, Danny, let's look at the stats
over Beats League because you are hanging in the playoff race.
(36:23):
My friend, it looks you are down right now. You're
down by twenty three points, but uh, you have Hollywood
Brown mark Ingram Gerald Everett and the Rams defense. I
think you're gonna make up that twenty three point gap.
I think Danny, you are going to get a w
in our league against down Under this week and you
need it to stay alive, right Danny, Yeah, and I'm hoping.
(36:43):
I mean it's I think it did yeah down Under,
didn't you know? Started a guy with a buy and
stuff like that down Under? The listen down on to
remember represents Australia, so we are international. I think we
have Canada representative the stats over Beats League as well,
so it's an international lea league. And you know, he's
now at this point three and nine, so I don't
even know if you know, I don't even know if
(37:05):
he's still tuned in. Maybe it's like you know, rugby
season down there or something else. But a win is
a win, Danny, and that would get you if you
do get that win into back and like you would
be fighting with you know, um, it looks like undisclosed
location you would be fighting for provided I get a win, Danny,
I have PayPal Steelers, and I look to listen. I
might be a spoiler. Remember I beat Jilly Dilley last week,
(37:27):
and now it looks like I'm gonna get a win.
I'm down twenty three against PayPal Steelers, but I have
Rob Woods and Lamar Jackson left, so I think I
might get a win for it, Danny, to help you
guys out, yeah, I mean you could. You could make
the Battle of the Dance happen again. Oh, that would
be interesting. That would be interesting. And let me tell
you something. Jilly Dilley may go down again. Jilly Dilley
(37:49):
may lose again. Jilly Dilley is down by like sixty
to The Fearless Squad has Cooper Cup, but I don't
think Cooper Cup is good for sixty tonight. And that
means John g who with another win this week, is
eleven then one. It looks like we're gonna be saying
congrats to our guy, John Dre Remember he came here
sat on set. We were looking at the first st
ever stats over be champion, potentially regular season, although we'll
(38:10):
see what happens in the playoffs, right, because anything can
still happen if you're live and you may be in
the tournament yourself, Danny, I mean that would be crazy.
I'm hopeful, Honestly, I think, Danny. I'm gonna tell you
right now, I think you're gonna be the succeed if
you win. If you win this weekend, next week, I
think you will be the succeed. I think I'm gonna
beat PayPal Steelers this week and help you out, and
then it's gonna be you, like the Wizard of Cause
(38:31):
on disclosed location and even strong styles getting in there
with a little bit of a run. With two in
a row, it looks like, uh, you know, maybe knocking
on the door with a small chance. But I digress.
Danny in his episode four hundred and twenty, I got
these mints. Also. I got these mints also, Danny, you've
had some of these before. I love these mint All Right,
(38:54):
we'll see if we gotta you know, I do have
an hour left on air. Uh, speaking of that hour,
because Gabe is and asked me my plays. Okay, if
you're one of these people that watch like us on
Pluto TV channel five seventeen on Zumo TV channel seven
nineteen on YouTube. You see that Gabe starts off in
game live. He's gonna ask me what my plays are,
(39:15):
so let me get them out here to the crew
the status of beat cipher so that you know, if
I'm stumbling over my words in twenty minutes, maybe the
chat room can remember for me. Um. Here's the way
I think this game is gonna play out, Danny. I
saw a few weeks ago Dalvin Cook, who is the
league's leading rusher, go up against a top five run
defense in the Denver Broncos and wind up with like
(39:36):
forty yards. And remember in that game, Minnesota was down
big time at half and ultimately came back to win.
I saw another above five hundred team with a big
time running back, this time named Josh Jacob yesterday go
up against the number a top five or top three
run defense. Josh Jacobs only ran for thirty some odd yards,
(39:56):
and the team that starting to smell themselves and had
reeled off victories in row, they lost. And now this
Ravens run your name comes to Los Angeles to face
the Rams, Danny. The Rams are number two in the
NFL against the run, and I think that is a
big deal. I have been saying all year long. You
(40:17):
need to have the balance attack. You can't turn your
quarterback into a volume thrower. And unfortunately Rams defense and
their run defense, if they slow down the run, they
might turn Lamar Jackson into a more volume thrower than
he would like to be. And unfortunately, that's the way
I see this game going. I see them now. They
(40:38):
ain't gonna stop Lamar Jackson. Okay, I do not think
that's what's gonna happen, but I am taking the under
prop bet on mark Ingram and that's fifty three and
a half yards. I'm taking under. And by the way,
it's gone down all day. I got it this morning
at fifty three and a half, it's now fifty and
a half. I think they can slow down the run
game mark Ingram. Will Lamar make plays? Yeah, sure, but
they are gonna try to force Lamar to throw it,
(40:58):
and they're gonna put Jalen Rams the on Hollywood Brown
and they're gonna force the intermediate tight end game to
beat them. I don't know if it can. And then
on the offensive the Ram side with Woods back and
maybe cooks back okay and Girly out of bubble rap.
He got twenty five carries last week, and they gotta
beat Listen, the Rams need to start winning. They're on
the outside looking in, and they talked about it last week.
(41:20):
I made the point they went away from the zone
blocking scheme to just putting two guys on the guards
and being more power and letting Todd Gurley run. I
think the Rams run game is gonna be better. I
think the fact that they're the full complement of weapons
the fantasy heard helps goff and I think the Rams
defense will be able to slow the run. Lamar will
(41:41):
make some plays, but he'll be at They'll be able
to slow the run down. And I've been telling you
about these dogs, these home dogs, these prime time dogs.
Give me the Rams plus the three or three and
a half points. I told you I'll take the under
on the prop rushing total for mark Ingram. I got
it at under fifty three and a half. I remember
(42:01):
they traded Marcus Peters away right. The one thing I'll
say for Baltimore, I would not be surprised if Marcus Peters,
who has gotten a few picks in that scheme in Baltimore,
who knows Jared Goff My flyer is a Marcus Peters
interception for plus four fifty tonight. I think that's possible.
But ultimately I think the Rams get healthy. And the
other thing I was gonna say is watch the m
(42:23):
v P odds because these Ravens. I love Lamar, but
they got the Rams now, then the Niners defense, then
the Bills defense, then the Jets, who are number one
against the run. Right now, Lamar is plus one hundred
to win the m v P and Russell Wilson is
plus two fifty. I think that's the best number you're
gonna get on Russell Wilson because I think Lamar is
(42:46):
gonna be less than Superman over the next four years.
He's still great, and I still think the Ravens are
viable as an a f C championship team, But I
think they go down tonight to the Rams on the road.
Remember I always say West coast to East coast for
an early start, well, east coast to West coast for
a late night start has the same effect on the
body clock. All of these things to me, you you
(43:09):
sell hi, you buy low. I'm selling now on the Ravens. Tonight,
I am buying low plus three or three and a
half with the Los Angeles Rams. And if you like
Russell Wilson, get him for the m v P now,
because the Lamar Jackson number is gonna go up and
then by definition, the Russell Wilson number is going to
go down. I like the Rams. Thank you to everybody
(43:31):
for the stats over beat Cipher. Danny no Fantasy Freestyle
on Thanksgiving Day, so catch me on make it rain
Thanksgiving morning. We'll be doing a Pro football today. So
Thanksgiving morning, I'll be right here with the crew, and
then we're back Fantasy Freestyle a week from today. As
we enter the Fantasy playoffs, I will do a thank
you Cipher video for you know, episode four twenty and
(43:52):
a half, maybe on Thanksgiving, but you know what it is,
yahtu sabe. I am thankful for the stats over beat Cipher,
the fact that we could even get the episode four
hundred and twenty Danny. I got a little bit of
pop rocks here if you still want something, and I
got a mint to wash it all down in game

(44:58):
I want to know if you guys are the playoffs
are not because the status of beat Cipher. We win
our leagues and when net cash big shout out to
the people that have voted so far. And of course
my man Henry Henderson. You know, Jilly Dilley is like
the den mother of the Cipher after last year's issues
obviously with Jennifer, and we're happy that she is, you know,
making a recovery as well. The Henderson's have to be
the family of the cipher, and he says, because of
(45:19):
my advice, he's locked in for a bye, has the
most point in his league. Week fifteen, here we come.
So when we do the waiver wires a little bit
later on in the show, I will let you know
who to target looking ahead to those playoffs weeks week
fourteen and fifteen. But let's get into it. I got
a couple of injuries that we need to get after
before because of Week twelve. Right, the first one, the
big one, Eric Abron has been sent to injured reserve.
(45:40):
All right, He's gonna have procedures on not one, but
both of his ankles. Doyle rules time. Okay, I'll tell
you exactly why you need to pick up Doyle if
you need a tight end, and there's a couple of
teams out there that you've probably lost the tight end
over the last month or so. So that's definitely one.
I don't usually talk about offensive tackles, but there were
two tackle injuries yesterday. Okay. First of all, Brian Bulaga
(46:03):
for the Green Bay Packers with a knee that is
going to impact not only you know, the run game,
but Aaron Rodgers as well. You saw they didn't do
much against San Francisco. I'm not saying it wasn't the
San Francisco defense that did that, but losing Bolaga for
any stretch would hurt them in their battle against the
Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North Division title. And also, listen,
Saints tackle Um Armstead, he goes down with a high
(46:23):
ankle sprain. We're talking about everyone thinks the Saints is
one of the top contenders in the NFC. This could
have an impact as well. Listen, I say all the time,
offensive line play eviscerates teams chances. I've been talking for
years about teams like the Texans, the Vikings and others
that have gone down because of offensive line play. If
this befalls the Green Bay Packers or the New Orleans Saints,
(46:44):
those you know star elderly quarterbacks have problems, Golden Tate
in the concussion protocol, Carson Wentz with a hand, although
they say he's going to be good to go. In
some young quarterback news, first of all, Denver has said
they may they're considering activating and starting Drew Lock this
weekend against I believe the Chargers and the experiment is
over in Cincinnati. I told you Ryan Finley was gonna
(47:05):
make starts. I just didn't say he was necessarily gonna
finish the season or which starts he was gonna make.
They said they have evaluated him and in the Cincinnati
Bengals are going back to the red rifle? Andy Dalton, Um,
did you guys see this? Also? Real quick? You know, Danny?
Did you? Can you show the people the video of
what happened in Hart Harvard and Yale over the weekend.
Play the video if you've got that ready to go, Danny,
(47:27):
look at this and halftime, these guys and this is
students from Harvard and from Yale. They go out to
the field to protest climate change. Okay, the second half
was delayed. Be sure to follow all our social media

my friend. It is episode four hundred and twenty. We
got a great show for you as usual. Listen. I
know what number show it is, but we got listen.
It's week twelve of the NFL and the fantasy football season.
(01:25):
We've got to look back at. We've got a big
time Monday night football game. I'll tell you why. I'm
not only looking at the odds for tonight, but I
might place a wager for the futures that I think
you need to do actually right now. And it may
not be on the quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens. We'll
get into that a little bit later on. We've got listen,
we've got waiver wires, we've got diamonds and full gazees.
(01:49):
We've got a big time update in the stats over
beats League, and of course we have to let you
know on the injuries. But before we go there, listen,
we got a um we gotta pull question up as
well on Twitter. I want to know if you guys
are in the playoffs or not, because the Status will
beat Cipher we win our leagues and when net cash
big shout out to the people that have voted so far.
And of course my man Henry Henderson. You know, Jilly
(02:10):
Dilley is like the den mother of the Cipher after
last year's issues obviously with Jennifer, and we're happy that
she is, you know, making a recovery as well. The
Henderson's have to be the family of the Cipher and
he says, because of my advice, he's locked in for
a bye, has the most point in his league. Week fifteen,
here we come. So when we do the waiver wires
a little bit later on in the show, I will
(02:30):
let you know who to the target looking ahead to
those playoffs weeks week fourteen and fifteen. But let's get
into it. I got a couple of injuries that we
need to get after before because of Week twelve. Right,
the first one, the big one, Eric Ebron has been
sent to injured reserve. Alright, He's gonna have procedures on
not one, but both of his ankles. Doyle rules time. Okay,
(02:51):
I'll tell you exactly why you need to pick up
Doyle if you need a tight end, and there's a
couple of teams out there that you've probably lost the
tight end over the last month or so. So that's
definitely one. I don't usually talk about offensive tackles, but
there were two key tackle injuries yesterday. Okay. First of all,
Brian Bulaga for the Green Bay Packers with a knee
(03:12):
that is going to impact not only you know, the
run game, but Aaron Rodgers as well. You saw they
didn't do much against San Francisco. I'm not saying it
wasn't the San Francisco defense that did that, but losing
Bilaga for any stretch would hurt them in their battle
against the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North Division title.
And also, listen, Saints tackle Um Armstead. He goes down
(03:32):
with a high ankle sprain. We're talking about everyone thinks
the Saints is one of the top contenders in the NFC.
This could have an impact as well. Listen, I say
all the time, offensive line play eviscerates teams chances. I've
been talking for years about teams like the Texans, the
Vikings and others that have gone down because of offensive
line play. If this befalls the Green Bay Packers or
(03:54):
the New Orleans Saints, those you know star elderly quarterbacks
have problems Golden Tate in the concussion protocol, Carson wentz
with a hand, although they say he's going to be
good to go. In some young quarterback news, First of all,
Denver has said they may they're considering activating and starting
Drew Lock this weekend against I believe the Chargers and
(04:16):
the experiment is over in Cincinnati. I told you Ryan
Finley was gonna make starts. I just didn't say he
was necessarily gonna finish the season or which starts he
was gonna make. They said they have evaluated him, and
in Cincinnati Bengals are going back to the red rifle.
Andy Dalton, Um, did you guys see this? Also? Real quick?
You know, Danny? Did you? Can you show the people
(04:36):
the video of what happened in Hart, Harvard and Yale
over the weekend? Play the video if you've got that
ready to go, Danny, look at this. In halftime, these
guys and this is students from Harvard and from Yale,
they go onto the field to protest climate change. Okay,
the second half was delayed by about an hour. Okay,
(04:57):
you can take that off. And they literally halted the
game to make this protest. Now, I ain't mad at you, alright,
forty two Yelle students whore arrested. But in the chat room,
what I want to know is, what is the weirdest
kind of like delay you have ever been at a game?
You know, not just like a rain delay, where you
ever at like a lightning delay? Were you ever at
you know, I don't know a delay when it was
a bat in the arena or something crazy you have
(05:17):
to worry about a protest. I was in a game
Yankees A's in Oakland where a bank of lights in
that old Ask Stadium went out and they had to
really wait, literally until some maintenance guy went up in
a ladder and climbed up and like hit the circuit
breaker or whatever it was. I want to own the
chat room hashtag stats over beats. What is the craziest
delay you've ever experienced live in a game? And I
(05:40):
ain't mad at these guys. They got their message out, um,
and they didn't have to spend you know, five point
six million dollars because by the way, that's how much
a Super Bowl ad is going for. And yeah, they're
all sold already. So Danny this episode four twenty, I
couldn't light up in the middle of the state in
the studio he had Studio thirty four. But I do
you have, you know, some gummies. I do have some mints,
(06:01):
and I have these pot rocks that are supposed to
go crazy in my mouth and then we'll see the effects.
So as we go to break, let's make sure we're ready. Hey,
Jeremy McMahon, do it. It's episode four d and twenty
with the stats over beat cipher. Uh, Danny, we talked
about this before. These pot rocks, I just I just
put them in my mouth, right, Okay? And then here's
(06:24):
the thing. How am I gonna tell everybody that it's
episode four twenty of the Fantasy Freestyle rideo on Sports
Grid when I can't do that all? There's only one
way to find out. It's like, MS are the sounds
in my mouth? Guys? Oh boy, Let's see what happens
on the other side of the break. Danny, I ate
the whole thing. I wasn't supposed to eat the whole thing, Danny.
(06:45):
I really did though, I wasn't supposed to do all.

(07:32):
hundred and twenty of The Fantasy Freestyle. Hey, Jeremy McMahon, No,
the letters are unfortunately not CBD. Next to where it
says milligrams, it says zero milligrams of CBD, ten milligrams
of those other three letters, and then there's a big
exclamation point. You guys in California know about the big
exclamation point label, right. But in any event, it is
(07:55):
episode four and twenty. Terry are in the chat room
talking about that she won. Once went to a game
and it was a delay for a fight. There was
a fight almost like some Miles Garrett nonsense going on,
almost like last chance you or something like that. So
keep leving me know. In the chat room. We also
got the pull question up on Twitter at Spitting Speeds.
You already know this. If you are a tree stats
(08:18):
over beats head, you say you're in the playoffs. Strong
styles in the playoffs except for the stats over beats league.
We'll talk about that Clayton Trey hand in the playoffs,
Henry attributing some of that to the cipher um x
RP Esquire also first place. By going on, it looks
like in both of those leagues, you know what it is.
So let's give you that information to help you continue
(08:38):
to win your leagues and win ned cash. Um here's
the first thing I want to say before we get
into the takeaways of the week. Okay, we have now
finished the buys. We're going into week thirteen. There's one
regular season week left and then your playoffs. You now
this is a shift. The buys are over for the
first third. You know, twelve weeks of the season, you're
(09:00):
Annecy football team. What you also, you needed depth right
with buys. You knew there was gonna be injuries, that
sort of thing. It's now different now, especially at the
running back position. I'm teaching y'all how to fish people
and plus that are in the playoffs and have a
by It is time for you to cast the side
(09:21):
your wide receiver five, you're running back four. You don't
need them anymore. Of much bigger value are the cuffs
to your main dudes. Okay, So Alexander Madison Pollard, Jamal
Williams Uh even after yesterday were shot penny right, these
guys become incredibly important because here's the thing, here's what
(09:41):
you have to think about. What is your A lineup
you have to assume at this point because if one
of your studs going, if Christian McCaffrey tears his A
c L this weekend, sorry, you know, what are you
gonna do? You're gonna put in bonafon or whatever. But hey,
these things happen. You have to now get yourself ready
to have your A lineup. You don't need the depth anymore, okay,
(10:07):
because you're never gonna be starting your wide receiver five
again now that the buyers are done, and if you
actually needed to go to that person, your playoff matchups
is in disarray anyway, So go get the cuff instead.
I think a second tight end at this point of
the season. Now get ahead of it. You don't want
to be somewhere where oh you know, Kelsey, Henry Andrews,
(10:27):
whoever it is, all right, goes down and then you're
at replacement level. Get ahead of it now, Okay, this
is very important in this week. You need to get
those cuffs and really think about what is that elite
lineup and sacrifice if you still have a trading deadline
things of that nature. Still do it and also know
your settings. Okay. Sometimes Billy Hayes is in the chat,
(10:48):
he knows this. In the G S T League, Jim Ross,
others have been in that league. No, in that league,
you can't. This is the last week to spend your
fab budget. You cannot make any moves after this week
in this league. So no, you're setting. So what do
I have to do. I have to get a second defense.
I have to get a second kicker just in case. Okay,
So no your settings and start to organize yourself accordingly
(11:10):
as we teach you how to fish. Here instead of
just giving you the fish, do I start this guy
or this guy? It's more complicated than that. And once
you know how to think about it, like the stats
over beat Cipher, you wind up in the playoffs getting
a by you know, being eligible? What what is that
of the time? All right, biggest things for me? And
first I want to tip my quarter tip my cap
to Frank Gore for passing Barry Sanders after sixty five
(11:32):
yards yesterday. Now is fifteen thousand, two hundred and eighty
nine yards in fifteen years. And that's important. Okay? Was
he ever the best running back of all time, of
of his of the year or in the league. No,
but fifteen years is nothing. A scoff at fifteen thousand
yards is not in a scoff at He now is
behind only Emmett and Walter Payton, Barry at fourth, then
Curtis Martin another kind of almost compiler when you look
(11:54):
at these amount of years. Though Barry Sanders did this
in ten years. That's why he's the best running back
I have ever seen. But this, you know, Gore number
three all time. Adrian Peterson is sixth all time almost
at fourteen hundred. He's even gets the fourteen hundred I
think this season. But then it's Shady McCoy at eleven thousand.
He's twenty second all time. And the fourth active running
(12:17):
back is all the way back at seventy first of
all time, and it's mark ingram In. What about sixty
six hundred yards? And I'm gonna tell you something why
this accomplishment from Gore is so amazing. We're never gonna
see this again. Okay. There are two factors. One is
that we are now in a passing league. Running backs
just don't accumulate this many yards anymore. In the passing
league we're now in in two thousand and nineteen and beyond.
(12:38):
And the other thing is players careers are just not
this long anymore. With the player safety and the CT
and players just retiring earlier on. This is a record
that is not going to get broken anytime soon. And
when this wave of guys, you know, besides Gore, when
guys like Adrian Peterson, Shady McCoy are gone, we're not
going to see people even crack, in my opinion, the
top five anytime soon. So witness the longevity of his career.
(13:02):
Great guy as well, Frank Gore. We tip our cap um.
I also want to talk about it's interesting that the Steelers,
for a takeaway from me, the Steelers went to Duck Hodges,
and I think this is a gutsy call by Mike Tomlin, okay,
and something that I agree with. But I think it's
interesting that what do you know now it's live that
Mason Rudolph may not be there starting when they play
(13:22):
the rematch against the Cleveland Browns. Right, And remember how
I say, sometimes injuries give cover for a lot of things,
like it has with Cam Newton, like it has with A. J. Green,
like it has with Matthew Stafford, like it did for
a while with Nick Foles when they figured out Gardner Minshew.
You know, maybe this is cover for uh not not
the heavyweight rematch that we're gonna see, because there's gonna
(13:43):
be a lot of buzz about this. There's gonna be
a lot of tension. There's gonna be a lot of
energy in that one, and there'd be less if it
was you know, the Hodges and not Mason Rudolph. But
I digress. I do think it's ironic. Let's say that
the injury right now in this case, you know, the
benching could provide some cover. Also, I say it all
the time, and we'll get into it with what I
got right and what I got wrong. But it was
the same silent killers these things. Listen, I say it
(14:07):
all the time, and people don't realize that this offensive
line play. There were only um, there were eight teams
that gave up four or more sacks. Seattle was the
only one of those eight teams that won yesterday. And
they have maybe the m VP candidate, a guy who's
used to running for his life and knows how to
do it in a way that makes plays, doesn't get
hurt and with a playmaker. Right. But but look at this.
(14:29):
You know, Atlanta six sacks, they lose, Detroit six sacks,
they lose, Miami four, Carolina four, since four, Green Bay
gave up five to that San Francisco defense, and then
the Denver Broncos give up four sacks and lose to
the Buffalo Bills. I'm telling you this offensive line play
people don't think about it because it's not fantasy relevant
in the box score, but it continues to be the
(14:49):
silent kicker, and so does kicking guys. Listen, Rosas missed
two field goals for the Giants, they lose by five
sly and Carolina miss is two extra points in the
field goal they lose by three. Prator in Detroit. I've
talked to you about vinitary for the Colts. These are
the things because now we're getting to the point of
the season where kream's gonna rise to the crop. Right, penalties, sacks,
(15:11):
you know, kicking, misqes, things of that nature. The turn
of that is what's going to get you, because look,
the Patriots don't do that right, and they're the default
team standing there in the clubhouse. Like I say, unless
an amazing human being, Lane Lamar Mahomes or DeShawn winds
up actually having a playmaking day. Other than that, it's
just that they don't beat themselves in the way all
(15:32):
these other teams do. And even when you're about to
get a win, some of these guys beat themselves. And
that brings me to Dwayne Haskins, right, he thinks he's
gonna get his win. He does ultimately get a win,
but he's at the crowd taking selfies, you know, and
they couldn't find them for the victory formation. That's a
little ridiculous. Now, I'm not gonna go crazy here right
and say, oh my god, you know no, but it's
(15:52):
just a bad look for that franchise that has so
many other weird things happening, from the Trent Williams to
everything that happens with Dan Snyder to out you know,
you pile all on and why give them, you know,
a reason to pile on. But I digress. Check it out.
What we're gonna do when we come back on the
other side of the break is we're gonna talk about
what speeds got right, what speeds got wrong? Okay, and
(16:13):
then we'll do the waiver wire and I know it's
a little bit different now, right because listen, ay, there
weren't that many big time injuries, you know in yesterday's action. Okay,
the ebron thing is one, but so the waiver wire
maybe a little bit less. But we'll cover it and
then we'll talk Monday Night football, Danny. I know I
wasn't supposed to eat the whole thing, and it was ten,
(16:33):
but I got this gummy also, and it is episode
four twenty after all, Danny, Right, so I should pop
one in, right, and welcome to popping off. These things
were all sugary also, so that's why I got my
you know, my beer, Dilly dilly, That's why I got
a little ice coffee to wash it down. People were
saying Coca cola in there as well. Hit me in
the chat room, let me know what was the weirdest
delay you've ever had? How you think I'm gonna be
doing on in game live in about an hour? And uh,
(16:56):
any other questions you have for me. I'm gonna have
this little gummy bear action. It's like a vitamin, you
know what they say, right, One a day keeps the
doctor away, and then uh, we'll look at what we got, right,
what we got wrong in the Waiver Wire. After a
week twelve going into the last regular season week, It's
Fantasy Freestyle Episode four hundred and twenty. NFL Season is

(18:03):
we go out to break, you'll have to tell me
what the little exclamation point and what the letters THHC

we are back at his episode number four hundred and
twenty of the Fantasy Freestyle Betting has a question in
the chat room, asked me about Penny. Yes, I do
(19:03):
think you need to get Penny guys as a Carson
owner because here's the other thing, and Ben, you know this,
Carson has the fumbling issue, right, and I could see
them putting Carson in mothballs for a week or a
week and a half, and you don't need that week
to be week f and fifteen when you're in You're
when you're in your semifinals. That's the exact kind of
thing that is a reason why would you have the
(19:24):
last man on your roster right now when like you
would need four or five six things to happen to
actually start that guy in a semifinal matchup. Meanwhile, Penny,
all you need is your RB two, a guy you've
been relying on all year because he's actually running back
ten so far in the entire season, to to get
benched because of a fumble or to teris meniscus next week.
(19:45):
So yes, Ben and others, Yes, I do think about Penny. Ben,
though you're also walsking about Matt Ryan. No, I'm not
benching him or stream and rest of the season. I'm
fine with Matt Ryan. I know they didn't win yesterday.
I know Matt shab came in to clean up, but
I am not worried about that. Right, guys, What I
got right? What I got wrong? I told you guys.
One of the things I got right was what the
(20:05):
Eagles are with Jordan Howard weeks ago, I told you
guys that when the Eagles found the Jordan Howard running game,
it was like their left hand, so that when teams
shut them down, they wouldn't have Carson Wentz become a
volume thrower. They'd be able to keep with their run game.
That wasn't the case yesterday. Right now, Miles Sanders was fine,
(20:26):
he went twelve of sixty sixty three, another three catches,
but they didn't have that threat and they abandoned it,
and Carson Wentz again became a volume thrower thirty three
or forty five. The fumbles, the turnovers, That's what I'm
worried about. When it's a volume you need to be
able to have that balance, and that balance for the
Eagles is Jordan Howard, not Miles Sanders. Miles Sanders is fine,
(20:47):
just doesn't offer what they have they need. Howard back.
I was right about that, also saying with Oakland, I
said the same thing, guys. Listen, Josh Jacobs does the
same exact thing. These Raiders are not the same. Look
what had been when they go up against the number
one run defense in the NFL. Josh Jacobs goes ten
thirty four, right, and then Carr has to have it
(21:09):
on his arm and it doesn't work. No touchdowns, only
a hundred and twenty seven yards. This is the same
thing I say about Whence all the time or a
golf in these rams offense tonight or Matt Ryan or
Philip Rivers right and all the Raiders only other like
times when Josh Jacobs does not run well, Raiders loose.
He got forty four yards against Minnesota, they lose. They
(21:31):
got sixty three yards against Houston, they lose. Right. That
is the formula. And I've been telling you guys about this.
These teams, you don't want them as volume throwers. When
they find balance, they are better. What's real for the
real team and the fantasy team are not always the
same thing. And that absolutely continued. I was a prop
bet machine in week eleven. Okay, I told you not
only if you listen to Pro Football Today on Sunday
(21:53):
morning me we got Mike blew at Joe ROHNERI we
got Ariel Epstein, new addition to the network, killing it right. Now,
we got Drew Dinkmeyer who comes on DFS glory. Okay,
I gave out four prop bets. They all hit. I
told you Josh Jacobs under bang. I told you Carson
Wentz over attempts because I thought of the volume throwing bang.
I told you DeVante Parker would go over. I've been
(22:16):
saying DeVante Parker for weeks. His prop bet was fifty
eight and a half. He goes six for nine one.
I'm telling you without Preston Williams there and Fitzpatrick still
slinging it, DeVante Parker is the number one wide out
there and has been performing as such over the last month.
I also knew Courtland Sutton under. His total was seventy
seven and a half yards. I said to go under.
(22:37):
He went one for twenty seven. All right, Brandon Allen,
thing is coming to an end. The wind up in Buffalo,
the number three defense Tradavion White. These defensive matchups matter,
and I was telling you to do it via the
prop bet world. I was. I believe in bow I
told you I believe in both flex all right. I
believe he is a flex option both Scarborough. I told
(22:59):
you in the waiver wires last week. He did it again,
eighteen carries for nine yards. Yes, he lost a fumble,
but what I am more encouraged by is that he
got eighteen carries. Ty Johnson only got four. J D.
Mckissic only gets one. Moving forward, this could be both
Scarborough in this role, and I think you're gonna see
it on Thanksgiving Day. Uh in that early game and
(23:20):
the last thing that I would say I got all right,
you know, the schedules opening up for Damn Gaze and
now he's got a stay of execution. But what you
need to know in fantasy is that Sam Donald has
storn for eight touchdowns only two picks in his last
four games. He has been quarterback four over the last month.
It has impacts for not only him, but Lev Bell,
Robby Anderson, Jamison Crowder and even a tight end diamond
(23:42):
than the rough Ryan Griffin. I told you about all
of them, and that is why I think, listen, it
continues to rise all boats. And listen, they got they
got uh Cincinnati and Miami in the next two games
therefore and seven, no reason they can't six and seven
after that. I know it sounds like good for Jets fans, right,
(24:04):
But I always said this was gonna give Adam Gaze
a stay of execution, and unfortunately I don't know that
I actually like it. Things that Speed's got wrong though,
And listen, I'm one of the only people here on
this network or anywhere we hold ourselves accountable. I don't
change the narrative to say I got it right all
the time. And one of the things I got wrong
last week on Thursday night was Jonathan Williams. I said
(24:25):
that this was not going to be the plug in play.
Why though, I thought because Jordan Wilkins was going to
take peace of the pie and there was no Jordan Wilkins,
and that cleared the way for Jonathan Williams to put
it in my eye. I was wrong to fade him.
He had another twenty six carries a hundred and four
yards in one touchdown. Here's the thing, though, I still
believe Jordan Wilkins is going to eventually be a piece
(24:46):
of the puzzle, and that means I still would not
go back to Jonathan Williams in this way. You gotta
think Nike Hines mixes in as well. I think a
committee is the way they're going to go. He put
it in my eye once if you want to go
to the well, what am I gonna say? Right? Also,
at we have to acknowledge that we got it wrong,
calling se Kwon Barkley the number one overall pick. You know,
you got Christian McCaffrey doing his thing, Dalvin Cook doing
(25:07):
his thing, but everybody went se kwon number one. Listen,
he had fifty nine yards but only two catches for
one yard. And you expected a lot of stuff out
of the run game, out of the passing game from
se Kwon. Also, he's entering now and I know he
missed three games, but he's he's now running back twenty two,
you know, and Zeke Elliott's running back eight. Alvin Kamara,
who missed two games, is running back. But you know, like,
(25:28):
would you have ever thought in the top ten you
would have had a guy like Austin Ekeler Chris Carson
who just talked about you know, and it's such a
war of attrition. But that's why it's such It's a
fifty fifty hit rate in the first round. That's why
we try to tell you in August what we like
as far as diamonds and food. Gaz He's also I
was telling you about the division unders and I said
these in division games second time around. At this point
in the season, the unders were a trend, and I
(25:50):
got that one wrong. The NFC South collectively put that
one in my eye, you know, the UM I was
on Tampa and the Atlanta under I even gave that
out on pay Atreon. I did go too out of
three after going three and oh last week on Patreon UM.
But that game zoomed over. I did not know that
Vida Vella and and Dominican sue, we're both gonna score
(26:12):
touchdowns too, defensive line touchdowns for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But they get the w and listen, Godwin and Evans
are torching it there. The first set of teammates to
both go for a thousand yards. It's only happened three
times this millennium, all right, and it's happened for them.
It happened once with Rams, and I believe once. The
cults may have done it as well. No, it was
(26:32):
Emmanuel Sanders and to Marius Thomas for the Broncos did
it once. And another thing I got wrong, I gotta
tell you to God's honest truth is Ryan Tannehill. You know,
going into this year, I did say, much like with
Andy Dalton, I did say that Mariotto was on a
short leash, and I did say that Tannehill was gonna
make starts, but I sawt of thought Tannehill was just
(26:54):
a guy. Much like Sam Donald in the last month
is helping people get to fantasy playoffs in two QB leagues.
Ryan Tannehill is doing the same thing and it needs
to be kind of it needs to be recognized. It
really does. Listen, he has now started five games. The
Titans are four and one. In those games, they were
(27:14):
two and four with Mariota. There is no you know
they're six and five, they're in the playoff chase, and
their four and one with Ryan Tannehill under center. The
Titans have averaged twenty nine point four points a game
with Ryan Tannehill under center. They beat the Chiefs and Mahomes.
Remember that, what was that like? Thirty five, thirty two.
Recently they do it again, putting the forty against division
(27:38):
foe last yesterday Jacksonville. Ryan Tannehill has twenty four Fantasy
points per game, ten touchdowns in the five games he's started.
Well and then a huge game this week against Indianapolis
in the a f C and then they have listen,
who do you trust more in that a f C? Okay,
I'll give the Bills one wild card spot. But between
(27:59):
Oakland if you shut down their run game like I've
showed you Indie right, who who? Who? Who needs a kicker?
And we don't know about their running back? Cleveland? Who's
fight club? Pittsburgh fight Club? Or these Tennessee Titans who
(28:19):
are four and one with Ryan Tannehill as their quarterback.
Why doesn't Tannehill get the love of you know, Kyle
Allen Gardner, Minshew Teddy Bridgewater and others. Now, Tannehill now
has had the same kind of stretch and has not
turned into a pumpkin and is performing as a top
(28:39):
quarterback that is actually gonna get teams to their fantasy playoffs.
Speed's got that one wrong. I gotta admit it, all right.
So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna cope go
to break its episode four twenty Danny. Let's open up
the phone lines on the other side of the break. Okay,
the number is eight four four eight four three six
eight seven nine. You like how I remember the phone number? Right?
(29:00):
Eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.
We'll talk waiver Wire. We'll talk Monday Night football and
stats over Beats League and Danny. As we go out,
we gotta see people wondering if it's CBD or like,
you know, the other stuff. Feel free if you want.
We can zoom in and see kind of what I'm doing,
and you know what, it's time for another break. It's
the last break of the show, right, Danny, Time for
(29:21):
another's time for another gummy. Right. We gotta celebrate this
episode four hundred and twenty, Danny, We're going way above
what I said I would do in Game Live. It's
gonna be fun. Stats over beat, Cipher deserves it. Episode

This episode four hundred and twenty yere of the Fantasy
Freestyle with making it pop off, Yo, Lance, No, you
need to upgrade from Kalin Plage and Wayne Gauman. I'm sorry,
brother man. And in Studio thirty four. No, we do
not have a helmet uh for the Baltimore Ravens. Otherwise
I would have that up on the UH. I'd have
(30:56):
it up on the set as well. Let's have people
win their leagues and win that cast Le's talk about
the way for whire at the running back position. Al Right,
here are the guys that I think you need to attack,
especially if you're the owner of these handcuffs. All right,
remember as we move into week thirteen in your playoffs,
you need to, you know, trim the fat at the
bottom part of your roster after the by and really
look to prioritize these handcuffs. Rashad Penny only nineteen percent owned.
(31:19):
If you own Chris Carson, you needed to have him already.
I don't care that he went fourteen and a touchdown.
You need him on your roster because of the fumbling
issues that Carson has had Okay, so you definitely need
to get that. I'd say the same honestly if you're
a Connor owner. And I know some people have been
asking me about Benny Snell. Yeah, you gotta, you gotta
(31:40):
pick up Benny Snell. Here's the thing I don't know
about Connor. He I said it last week. They've been
using it as a commercial on the network for the
last week or so. All Right, I don't know about Connor. Okay.
They gave him a chance and he came back and
the shoulder was not good to go, similar to what
happened with Adam Feeling. It's when a player goes into
it thinking that they're cleared and then they reaggravated or
(32:01):
they realized they can't go mid game. They are going
to miss multiple games. I said that about Feeling, I'm
saying it about Connor. Okay. And what we also now
saw yesterday is that Samuel's is not there like running back,
he is straight going to be there out of the
badfield guy. So who does that go to? Maybe it's Edmonds,
maybe it's Snell. You need a piece of this, especially
if you are a Connor owner. He's only owned in
(32:22):
five percent of leagues. I like Shady McCoy. Guys, he's
available in half of leagues. I saw him at literally
fifty owned. He was more effective than Damian Williams in
that Monday night game in Mexico, and they were talking
about how they just gave him a week off for rest.
He wasn't in the doghouse. Okay, this was like load management.
And now Damian Williams has banged up. Okay, if I
(32:45):
told you that in your playoff semifinals in Week fifteen,
I could gift you could right now pick up the
starting running back for the Kansas City Chiefs. You have
that opportunity in half of leagues. I think Shady will
be ascending and I like that Jonathan Illiams. Listen, he
did it again. He put it in my eye. He's
still only owned in two thirds of leagues. Give it.
It's worth a look and also worth a look. Remember
(33:07):
these teams coming off their bys, alright, most of these
backs are definitely owned. But I checked and Kenyan Drake
is unowned in a quarter of leagues because of the bye,
So that is worth a look at the wide receiver position. Um,
remember how I talked about Ryan Tannehill well, listen, guys.
A J. Brown is only owned in sixteen percent of leagues,
and the talent has been there. The talent. Talent has
(33:28):
always been there, even before his hundred thirty five yard
touchdown performance yesterday. He leads the Tennessee Titans, this team
I was just telling you about that could be the
sixth seed in the a f C. This team that
is now four and one under Ryan Tannehill scoring points
a game. A J. Brown leads this team in targets,
in yards, in touchdowns, and yet at sixteen percent owned,
(33:52):
he's below Corey Davis, He's below Delaney Walker. A J.
Brown should and could get picked up in your league
for a little bit of a run. Let's say you
lost someone like Mohammed Sanu you know, or someone like
that that you've been relying on juju you don't know
about just yet. Right well, Fuller is now back and
owned in only two thirds of leagues. It's worth a look.
(34:12):
He has an important role for that offense, going seven
one forty last week on Thursday night, and I talked
about Sam Donald and the impact there. Robbie Anderson is
only fifty owned people, and I like him. Remember, I
said the next few few weeks Cincinnati in Miami, He's
scored in his last two games. This coincides with Sam
Donald was always his favorite target. Okay, revert back. What
(34:35):
did you think about Robbie Anderson and draft season? We
were talking about him as a low level wide out three,
certainly a flex play. Now his quarterback gets mono. They
look like a laughing stock and everyone forgets them. It's
coming back and social your perception of Robbie Anderson. James
Washington as well in Pittsburgh. I told you without these guys,
he was gonna be the big stud. He delivered with
(34:56):
that big time touchdown. We still don't know about the
quarterback or juju, but I still think Washington deserves to
be on rosters. And I said it before, I'll say
it again. Devanta Parker, people another six nine one. I
have been saying Devanta Parker for like three or four
weeks in a row, and all he has done has
been a top ten wide receiver in Fantasy over the
last month. I don't know how many times. I don't
(35:17):
know how he is still unowned in three and a
quarter of leagues at the tight end position. Listen, it's
gotta be Doyle. It's gotta be Doyle now. With Ebron
to I are, Doyle has only owned in thirty five
percent of leagues. And let me tell you, Ebron was
tight end fourteen with eighty six Fantasy points in PPR.
Doyle was tight end eighteen. You add them up, that's
a hundred sixty four points. You know what that would
(35:39):
be tight end two. That's above zach Ertz right now.
And I don't care about mo ALEI Cox. This is
gonna be Doyle Doyle, Doyle Doyle rules. He should be
the number one tight end ad Jared Cook has been
good since thereby and since his return a touchdown in
two of his last three. He's now humming with Breeze
owned in you know, a good chunk of leagues, but
worth the look. Ryan Griffin scored a touchdown again, someone
(36:01):
I mentioned last week for the Jets in because it's
not Chris Herndon. You could do the Monday night football
trick with Gerald Everett tonight. If you want on the
Rams tight end, he is a viable piece of that offense.
He's like a tight end fourteen overall. If you need someone,
those are guys that I would look to. But definitely,
Jack Doyle. All right, Danny, let's look at the stats
over Beats League because you are hanging in the playoff race.
(36:23):
My friend, it looks you are down right now. You're
down by twenty three points, but uh, you have Hollywood
Brown mark Ingram Gerald Everett and the Rams defense. I
think you're gonna make up that twenty three point gap.
I think Danny, you are going to get a w
in our league against down Under this week and you
need it to stay alive, right Danny, Yeah, and I'm hoping.
(36:43):
I mean it's I think it did yeah down Under,
didn't you know? Started a guy with a buy and
stuff like that down Under? The listen down on to
remember represents Australia, so we are international. I think we
have Canada representative the stats over Beats League as well,
so it's an international lea league. And you know, he's
now at this point three and nine, so I don't
even know if you know, I don't even know if
(37:05):
he's still tuned in. Maybe it's like you know, rugby
season down there or something else. But a win is
a win, Danny, and that would get you if you
do get that win into back and like you would
be fighting with you know, um, it looks like undisclosed
location you would be fighting for provided I get a win, Danny,
I have PayPal Steelers, and I look to listen. I
might be a spoiler. Remember I beat Jilly Dilley last week,
(37:27):
and now it looks like I'm gonna get a win.
I'm down twenty three against PayPal Steelers, but I have
Rob Woods and Lamar Jackson left, so I think I
might get a win for it, Danny, to help you
guys out, yeah, I mean you could. You could make
the Battle of the Dance happen again. Oh, that would
be interesting. That would be interesting. And let me tell
you something. Jilly Dilley may go down again. Jilly Dilley
(37:49):
may lose again. Jilly Dilley is down by like sixty
to The Fearless Squad has Cooper Cup, but I don't
think Cooper Cup is good for sixty tonight. And that
means John g who with another win this week, is
eleven then one. It looks like we're gonna be saying
congrats to our guy, John Dre Remember he came here
sat on set. We were looking at the first st
ever stats over be champion, potentially regular season, although we'll
(38:10):
see what happens in the playoffs, right, because anything can
still happen if you're live and you may be in
the tournament yourself, Danny, I mean that would be crazy.
I'm hopeful, Honestly, I think, Danny. I'm gonna tell you
right now, I think you're gonna be the succeed if
you win. If you win this weekend, next week, I
think you will be the succeed. I think I'm gonna
beat PayPal Steelers this week and help you out, and
then it's gonna be you, like the Wizard of Cause
(38:31):
on disclosed location and even strong styles getting in there
with a little bit of a run. With two in
a row, it looks like, uh, you know, maybe knocking
on the door with a small chance. But I digress.
Danny in his episode four hundred and twenty, I got
these mints. Also. I got these mints also, Danny, you've
had some of these before. I love these mint All Right,
(38:54):
we'll see if we gotta you know, I do have
an hour left on air. Uh, speaking of that hour,
because Gabe is and asked me my plays. Okay, if
you're one of these people that watch like us on
Pluto TV channel five seventeen on Zumo TV channel seven
nineteen on YouTube. You see that Gabe starts off in
game live. He's gonna ask me what my plays are,
(39:15):
so let me get them out here to the crew
the status of beat cipher so that you know, if
I'm stumbling over my words in twenty minutes, maybe the
chat room can remember for me. Um. Here's the way
I think this game is gonna play out, Danny. I
saw a few weeks ago Dalvin Cook, who is the
league's leading rusher, go up against a top five run
defense in the Denver Broncos and wind up with like
(39:36):
forty yards. And remember in that game, Minnesota was down
big time at half and ultimately came back to win.
I saw another above five hundred team with a big
time running back, this time named Josh Jacob yesterday go
up against the number a top five or top three
run defense. Josh Jacobs only ran for thirty some odd yards,
(39:56):
and the team that starting to smell themselves and had
reeled off victories in row, they lost. And now this
Ravens run your name comes to Los Angeles to face
the Rams, Danny. The Rams are number two in the
NFL against the run, and I think that is a
big deal. I have been saying all year long. You
(40:17):
need to have the balance attack. You can't turn your
quarterback into a volume thrower. And unfortunately Rams defense and
their run defense, if they slow down the run, they
might turn Lamar Jackson into a more volume thrower than
he would like to be. And unfortunately, that's the way
I see this game going. I see them now. They
(40:38):
ain't gonna stop Lamar Jackson. Okay, I do not think
that's what's gonna happen, but I am taking the under
prop bet on mark Ingram and that's fifty three and
a half yards. I'm taking under. And by the way,
it's gone down all day. I got it this morning
at fifty three and a half, it's now fifty and
a half. I think they can slow down the run
game mark Ingram. Will Lamar make plays? Yeah, sure, but
they are gonna try to force Lamar to throw it,
(40:58):
and they're gonna put Jalen Rams the on Hollywood Brown
and they're gonna force the intermediate tight end game to
beat them. I don't know if it can. And then
on the offensive the Ram side with Woods back and
maybe cooks back okay and Girly out of bubble rap.
He got twenty five carries last week, and they gotta
beat Listen, the Rams need to start winning. They're on
the outside looking in, and they talked about it last week.
(41:20):
I made the point they went away from the zone
blocking scheme to just putting two guys on the guards
and being more power and letting Todd Gurley run. I
think the Rams run game is gonna be better. I
think the fact that they're the full complement of weapons
the fantasy heard helps goff and I think the Rams
defense will be able to slow the run. Lamar will
(41:41):
make some plays, but he'll be at They'll be able
to slow the run down. And I've been telling you
about these dogs, these home dogs, these prime time dogs.
Give me the Rams plus the three or three and
a half points. I told you I'll take the under
on the prop rushing total for mark Ingram. I got
it at under fifty three and a half. I remember
(42:01):
they traded Marcus Peters away right. The one thing I'll
say for Baltimore, I would not be surprised if Marcus Peters,
who has gotten a few picks in that scheme in Baltimore,
who knows Jared Goff My flyer is a Marcus Peters
interception for plus four fifty tonight. I think that's possible.
But ultimately I think the Rams get healthy. And the
other thing I was gonna say is watch the m
(42:23):
v P odds because these Ravens. I love Lamar, but
they got the Rams now, then the Niners defense, then
the Bills defense, then the Jets, who are number one
against the run. Right now, Lamar is plus one hundred
to win the m v P and Russell Wilson is
plus two fifty. I think that's the best number you're
gonna get on Russell Wilson because I think Lamar is
(42:46):
gonna be less than Superman over the next four years.
He's still great, and I still think the Ravens are
viable as an a f C championship team, But I
think they go down tonight to the Rams on the road.
Remember I always say West coast to East coast for
an early start, well, east coast to West coast for
a late night start has the same effect on the
body clock. All of these things to me, you you
(43:09):
sell hi, you buy low. I'm selling now on the Ravens. Tonight,
I am buying low plus three or three and a
half with the Los Angeles Rams. And if you like
Russell Wilson, get him for the m v P now,
because the Lamar Jackson number is gonna go up and
then by definition, the Russell Wilson number is going to
go down. I like the Rams. Thank you to everybody
(43:31):
for the stats over beat Cipher. Danny no Fantasy Freestyle
on Thanksgiving Day, so catch me on make it rain
Thanksgiving morning. We'll be doing a Pro football today. So
Thanksgiving morning, I'll be right here with the crew, and
then we're back Fantasy Freestyle a week from today. As
we enter the Fantasy playoffs, I will do a thank
you Cipher video for you know, episode four twenty and
(43:52):
a half, maybe on Thanksgiving, but you know what it is,
yahtu sabe. I am thankful for the stats over beat Cipher,
the fact that we could even get the episode four
hundred and twenty Danny. I got a little bit of
pop rocks here if you still want something, and I
got a mint to wash it all down in game
Live is next. You know what it is. I'm out.
Thanks you so much, Cipher. I love y'all. I'm out

(44:58):
I want to know if you guys are the playoffs
are not because the status of beat Cipher. We win
our leagues and when net cash big shout out to
the people that have voted so far. And of course
my man Henry Henderson. You know, Jilly Dilley is like
the den mother of the Cipher after last year's issues
obviously with Jennifer, and we're happy that she is, you know,
making a recovery as well. The Henderson's have to be
the family of the cipher, and he says, because of
(45:19):
my advice, he's locked in for a bye, has the
most point in his league. Week fifteen, here we come.
So when we do the waiver wires a little bit
later on in the show, I will let you know
who to target looking ahead to those playoffs weeks week
fourteen and fifteen. But let's get into it. I got
a couple of injuries that we need to get after
before because of Week twelve. Right, the first one, the
big one, Eric Abron has been sent to injured reserve.
(45:40):
All right, He's gonna have procedures on not one, but
both of his ankles. Doyle rules time. Okay, I'll tell
you exactly why you need to pick up Doyle if
you need a tight end, and there's a couple of
teams out there that you've probably lost the tight end
over the last month or so. So that's definitely one.
I don't usually talk about offensive tackles, but there were
two tackle injuries yesterday. Okay. First of all, Brian Bulaga
(46:03):
for the Green Bay Packers with a knee that is
going to impact not only you know, the run game,
but Aaron Rodgers as well. You saw they didn't do
much against San Francisco. I'm not saying it wasn't the
San Francisco defense that did that, but losing Bolaga for
any stretch would hurt them in their battle against the
Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North Division title. And also, listen,
Saints tackle Um Armstead, he goes down with a high
(46:23):
ankle sprain. We're talking about everyone thinks the Saints is
one of the top contenders in the NFC. This could
have an impact as well. Listen, I say all the time,
offensive line play eviscerates teams chances. I've been talking for
years about teams like the Texans, the Vikings and others
that have gone down because of offensive line play. If
this befalls the Green Bay Packers or the New Orleans Saints,
(46:44):
those you know star elderly quarterbacks have problems, Golden Tate
in the concussion protocol, Carson Wentz with a hand, although
they say he's going to be good to go. In
some young quarterback news, first of all, Denver has said
they may they're considering activating and starting Drew Lock this
weekend against I believe the Chargers and the experiment is
over in Cincinnati. I told you Ryan Finley was gonna
(47:05):
make starts. I just didn't say he was necessarily gonna
finish the season or which starts he was gonna make.
They said they have evaluated him and in the Cincinnati
Bengals are going back to the red rifle? Andy Dalton, Um,
did you guys see this? Also? Real quick? You know, Danny?
Did you? Can you show the people the video of
what happened in Hart Harvard and Yale over the weekend.
Play the video if you've got that ready to go, Danny,
(47:27):
look at this and halftime, these guys and this is
students from Harvard and from Yale. They go out to
the field to protest climate change. Okay, the second half
was delayed. Be sure to follow all our social media
