right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode number four
hundred and twenty one, the four hundred and twenty first
convening of the Status Overbeat Cipher where we help you
stay with me. Now win your leagues and win that cash.
(01:26):
This is a big night for a lot of people. Okay,
it is Week thirteen, Monday Night football. We got Vikings
Seahawks about to kick off in like an hour, hour
and a half. But that's not why it's huge for
a lot of people. There are a lot of people
were depending on what happens tonight, they will either make
(01:46):
their fantasy playoffs or not. They will get a buy
or not, depending on the kind of payouts of your league,
depending on the dynasty settings of your a league. A
lot of stuff is going to get decided tonight. So
I wanna proactively wish the status over beat Cipher everything possible,
(02:10):
dilly dilly, that you get the seating, the money you
want to win your leagues and win neck cash. Let's
get into it though, Um we usually start with the
injuries and this will be nothing else because most people
in the status over beat Cipher have to worry about
this because they're playing either next week or in week fifteen. Alright,
So t J. Hockenson to the I R Okay, Yeah,
(02:33):
not a bad rookie season, and I don't usually like
tight ends in the rookie season, but he did well
something to build off of. Okay. They also say They're
gonna keep Matt Stafford active because you know they have
quote unquote respect for his competitiveness. He shut down people,
all right, plan accordingly, Um, Darryl Williams in Kansas City
that Hammy he got shot by a sniper or something
early in about second third quarter of that game. This
(02:54):
is gonna be very interesting between Shady McCoy, Darwin Thompson,
maybe a returning Damian Williams. This is one of the
very few spots to still watch. Okay, as you move
forward into your fantasy playoffs. Caitlin Balage went down and
looked bad. They carted them off. That's not left to like,
you know, Patrick Laird and Miles Gaskin. I'm not so
sure that's the situation you want to watch. Um, greg
(03:15):
Olsen went down with a concussion, right, so maybe you
need a waiver tight end. We'll give you one or two,
all right, and we'll do it like we do on Monday's.
All right, What Speed's got right, what Speed's got wrong?
The biggest takeaways that you could parlay forward and then
we will look to the waiver wire. You never know,
maybe you lost some of these guys, right, Um, maybe
you have something really bad like depth chart issues. All right,
(03:37):
So we're gonna try to find every little nugget to
fight off the fugazies for you to win your leagues
and win net cash. Also moving forward, there Chester Rodgers
went down with a knee. Uh Zach Pascal maybe. Oh
and by the way, Doyle rules my man Frank Stafel
of the BFFs, he knows that I was all over
that on Sunday morning. I told you that in the
waiver why I pick up. Hopefully that worked out for
(03:58):
you as well. If you look forward though, Austin Hooper
backpracticing coming off a m CL he may be available.
Some wide receivers may get activated off I are John
Ross and Cincinnati Devin Funchius in Indianapolis. Oh and by
the way, the Jags are going back to Gardner Minshew.
He is going to start Week fourteen for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
(04:18):
And that brings us to our poll question. The question
I have you straight up is not right now, but
next year, who will be the Jacksonville Jaguars starting quarterback
come the opening of preseason and week one next year?
Is it the mustache minshew mania? Is it the guy
that they spent something like eighty some odd million dollars
for Nick Foles, the guy that they got, the offensive coordinator,
(04:40):
and John d. Filippo, who was you know, perfect fit
for him, had success with him. Built it all around
that big Knick energy. Where is it door number three,
which could be this quarterback? Merry go round. I've been
talking about all season long, from the Cam Newton's to
the Marcus Mariotas, to the Andy Dalton's, the maybe Philip
Rivers and Matt Staffords. Or via the draft. You know,
(05:02):
we've been tanking for toa that ain't gonna happen. But now,
could a team like Jackson, or if they were drafting
like twelve, could they get a guy like two at
that spot or from or Eastern? What will the Jags
do our quarterback? That is a pole question for us
today here with the stats over beat Cipher, uh you know,
Pluto channel five seventeen, Zumo channel seven nineteen. We're gonna
(05:24):
look at that. We're gonna look at the takeaways, we'll
look at the waiver for wire, and we will look
at the stats overbeat Cipher league for sure. But if
I were to give you general principles, I've been telling
you guys for weeks it is time to trim the
fat on the bottom part of your roster. You are
now looking for the best possible lineup you can have
for like two different weeks. You you are looking at
(05:45):
week fifteen or week fourteen, if you're really getting ahead
of yourselves, find the matchups for that week. And boy,
oh boy, Danny, we're also going to talk a little
bit about some Game of Inches because we've been having
it all season long. Danny, we have to recap him
because I want to see and one of them is
Chris Ventra. He is in the building, Danny, in the
pit of misery. If we can get Chris Ventra to
(06:07):
come up here for maybe the middle segment because we
got to talk about our Game of Inches finalists, that
would be awesome if the closer could join us. And
I asked because by the way, guys, it's the Sports
Grid holiday party going down tonight right after Fantasy Freestyle
is done. There will be no win game live. We
are going to, uh, you know, we're gonna do our
little chips and dip and soda and yule Tide secret
(06:31):
Santa action as we watch Monday night football. So I'll
tell you what I'm looking for about that as well,
but listen as we get into the takeaways. The first
thing I have to tell you, and the real ones
are about that San Francisco Baltimore game and what we
saw last night. But before we go to break, I
also gotta tell you I think they're changing the standard
for this past interference, this review, this replay, this generating
(06:53):
past interference or offensive pass interference. In the first few weeks,
it just never happened, right. We were starting to get
used to the fact that up coach coaches are wasting
their challenge if they do that. Well, they overturned three
of the six last week. There are a couple of
examples this week where they overturned it. And I think
that's even worse. We used I used to be able
to understand that it's not worth it for coaches. Now
(07:15):
you're putting coaches in a bad spot. Now coaches think, well,
they may actually turn it and everyone sees it on
the damn JumboTron, So maybe I gotta throw the flag.
What is the standard when it comes to this, And
I'm sorry, but this is still subjective. This is still
gonna bite somebody in the ass come late regular season
playoff push or playoff time, maybe they'll be the New
(07:38):
Orleans Saints again. Uh, we shall see where we got
one more show. Then we got the Sports Grid holiday Party.
I got the statue of Beach Cipher. Tell me what
you want me to ask anybody at sports Grid at
the holiday party. You want me to ask Gabe why
he's drinking the white wine. You want me to ask
Frank Standford what prop Betsy likes. You want me to
ask Harrie l Epstein if she thinks Lamar Jackson and
(07:58):
the Baltimore Ravens are issue in for the Zuper Ball.
Let me know in the chat room. Let me know
your questions. We'll take it back episode four and twenty
one of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on Sports Grade Takeaways.
I want the fitting statistician got right and wrong for
Week thirteen On the other side of the break, gott
do sab. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

M H welcome back, ang and right on fantastic. It's
(09:04):
I'm out some sliders and like a minute, and by minute,
I mean forty five minutes when we have this holiday party.
But I gotta still help people, you know, when their
leagues and win their cats and stats over beat Cipher
on fire. I told you about that past interference, which
are things the problem, But here's the thing, my main takeaway,
and I know you've probably been hearing about this all
day long, the demise of the Patriots and whether or
(09:24):
not it is greatly overstated or understated. And I'm gonna
be consistent people. I've been saying the same damn thing
about the Patriots, and I'll say the same thing in
portions of it. What we saw last night is in
fact a blueprint on the defensive side. What Houston did
(09:44):
real well is they said, you know what we're gonna
take away Edelman. We're gonna double him we're gonna bracket him,
and we're gonna put a real cornerback or somebody could
actually cover James White. Now what Tom Brady? Now what
you know? And here's the thing we talked about all
the time. The Patriots like him make you play left handed.
That's what they did against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady yesterday.
(10:05):
And the problem is Edelman still did find six for
one oh six for one touchdown. A lot of garbage time.
James White two touchdowns, a lot of garbage time. If
you're a game of inches because of that, or you
know the Miami Dolphins kicker or the Kansas City Chiefs defense,
I want to know. But Brady doesn't trust the left hand.
(10:26):
They made a huge part of it on the telecast,
collins Worth going over, oh he gave the gun signal,
read his lips with McDaniels. They don't trust Jacoby Myers,
Matt Lacrosse, um, even Mohammed Sanu. Alright, they don't have
that chemistry. They don't have that stretched the field. That
is a real problem for them if they play. Now. Listen,
the Texans have four first round picks and second round
(10:48):
picks in their back secondary. Not everyone will be able
to do that. But we've seen it all year, all right,
and that is real. The other thing I will say is,
and I've said it all year, the Patriots are the
default team. But there is one of three men in
the a f C. Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and I've
(11:11):
always said the third was named Deshaun Watson. And that's
what happened last night. DeShawn Watson, who touchdowns off script,
extending plays, he made plays even avoiding a sack. Collinsworth
was slurping him because he avoided a sack to extend
to drive. And that is important. Okay. Last year I said,
and I'm gonna go a step further. Know the Patriots
(11:32):
aren't done, but those three men, Lamar Jackson, Patty Mahomes
and Deshaun Watson can beat them. And a defense that's
real good like oh, I don't know, Buffalo might be
able to stifle them. If they take away Entleman, if
they take away James White. I'm serious. Tennessee has beaten
them in the past. And here's the catch. Last year
(11:53):
the Patriots went three and five on the road. They
got the sacrificial lamb in the form of the Chargers
on division in a weekend, which is what always happens.
Sometimes they get the Texans, sometimes they get the Colts,
sometimes they get the Titans. Sometimes they get you know,
like they did last year, the Chargers. They went three
and five on the road last year. Look at their
(12:14):
road record this year. They beat on the road already,
like Miami, the Jets, Washington, They have Cincinnati. Still, that's fine.
That's four of them. Look at the other four. They
beat Philly by seven, Phillies below five. People don't like them.
(12:39):
They beat Buffalo by six, They lost the Baltimore, they
lost to Houston. I think that New England better get
a bye, better get home field advantage, because I do
not think they can go on the road and beat
two of those three teams on the road in back
(13:00):
to back weeks. If they are the three seed or lower,
they will not make the playoffs. If they're the two
seed and they have to have you know, the Chiefs,
maybe come in, maybe they and maybe this is a
different thing. Are they dead? No, Will they still go
thirteen and three? Probably? You know what I mean. But
that is a huge takeaway for me. Tom Brady is
obviously frustrated. He's first in the league in attempts twenty
(13:22):
nine in the league and completion percentage. That is a
huge takeaway. And San Francisco and Baltimore living on the
other side of it. Okay, that was an amazing game.
San Francisco forty Niners fans should be happy right now.
You know, you get three points for the home field advantage.
They won a great three point game. What I learned
if I'm a forty nine is fan that run defense.
I mean that defense travels, that run game travels. There
(13:44):
were three sacks, nine penalties combined in that game. I
talked about, you know how that can undercut any visceray teams.
It didn't happen in that game. If this is a
Super Bowl preview, I'm good with it. The problem is
that San Francis SKO can literally fall to the five
seed tonight with the Seattle victory. We'll talk about that
a little bit later on. Also a big takeaway for
(14:06):
me is nobody wants to win this NFC East Dallas
defecates the mattress on Thanksgiving Day. I gave out Buffalo
plus the points. By the way, Philly with everything right
in front of them in Miami, a game they should
win they defecate the Mattress. Philly now still a game
behind the five and seven. I'm gonna tell you this,
I think Philly still has the inside track. Look at
the schedule. Dallas has Chicago, the Rams at Philly in
(14:28):
the big showdown game, and then Washington. Philly has the
Giants twice and Washington and then that showdown game with
the Cowboys in Philadelphia. I still think Eagles could win
this NFC East. I don't think they're gonna look good
doing it. I think it might be at eight and eight,
but you can get them at like plus two fifty
(14:49):
plus three hundred to win that division. Everyone still thinks
Dallas is gonna win that division. I don't necessarily think so.
And then another poll question we put up is this
idea of like, how many teams do you think are
gonna like it's the record of the best team, and
everyone thinks it's fourteen and two. Everyone thinks the you know,
the Ravens are gonna win out or the Saints will
win out, and you can't do that. Listen, yesterday, the Bengals,
(15:11):
the Dolphins, and the Washington football team all one last week, Right,
these teams are gonna win some games. The high end
teams are gonna lose some games. It just happens, all right,
So you gotta take advantage of this. You gotta take
advantage this when you start to see these big lines.
Think about a Carolina was a ten point favorite, Washington
beats him, Philly was a ten point favorite, Miami beats them,
(15:35):
all right. The case Chiefs, they were a ten point favorite.
They were the only double digit favorite to get it
actually done and cover the big number. Okay, we're gonna
start adjusting. People are gonna start thinking over perceiving these
bad teams and over inflating these good teams. They will
be some ws and nells that pop up every week.
That's why you're still not in your survivor pool, all right.
(15:55):
I must admit also a couple of things that I
got wrong, all right, and I don't know. Break out
the damnit doll. I guess you know what I mean.
That's what you gotta do. Break out the actual damnit doll.
This is what we talk about um with the Jets
and Jilly Dilley shout out to the cipher, right, I
have the Jets, damnit doll. But guys, the Cincinnati Bengals
(16:18):
run defense was like historically bad. Literally, I said it
on this show. All season long, multiple teams had run
for two hundred yards against them, right strong style, damnit, damnit,
damn it. You know what I mean, that's what we need.
Why do they not run the ball? Why are they
not running the ball against the Cincinnati Bengals. Levy on
(16:41):
Bell goes for ten carries for thirty two yards against
a run. Why does Adam Gays have to try to
front like he's the smartest person in the room, you
know what I mean? Why does Adam Gays have to
be like, you know what I'm gonna do. Everyone runs
for two eyes against him. I'm gonna show I'm gonna
throw the ball. Joe Rnery said it best that he
tries to think he's so smart, tries to be the
(17:03):
smartest guy in the room, and that's what he thinks
he does all the damn time. You could have just
ran the ball with Levy on Bell multiple fin times.
They decided not to do that. Sam Donald forty eight attempts.
What do I tell you guys about being a volume thrower?
And the Cincinnati Bengals never forced you to have to
be a volume thrower. I got that wrong. I thought
(17:24):
the Jets would be more than good enough. They were
all high and mighty, but to be quite honest and Roland,
But to be quite honest, Maybe this helps my ultimate
narrative because I don't think there's anything going on right
now with the Jets. I do want the better draft pick.
I do want gay Is gone, and maybe an embarrassing
loss like this. Now they are the first team ever
to lose to two teams that were winless with more
than seven losses in the season. They lost to the
(17:47):
Miami Dolphins, giving them their first win. They've now lost
to the Cincinnati Bengals, giving them their first win. Maybe
this eats, you know, Christopher and Woody Johnson would be like, no,
we don't need this, NA. Let's find you know, Matt Rule,
Jim Habball. Nah, let's find someone else that's going in
a different direction. Let's bring back Mike McCarthy and bring
some grown, you know, stability to this place. Maybe who
knows I got that wrong. I'll tell you on the
(18:09):
other side of the break, there's another team I got
wrong that bounced back. There is the return of what
works for the real team. Then we'll talk about what
I got right. There were definitely some things. Listen, if
you followed me in DFS and prop bets, we were good.
We'll talk about that. Then we'll spin it forward to
the waiver wire if you're still in the playoffs. And
then you know, as we go into the Sports Screen
holiday party, we'll see if the closer wants to come
(18:31):
up and talk about his game of inches and how
that game of inches may keep him out of the
Fantasy playoffs. That's tough, Dilly dilly, Fantasy Freestyle spent one.

I'm checking out the chat room right now. Dexter Rojas
three out of four leagues in their playoffs, strong style,
three out of four leagues in their playoffs. That's what
we do here with the stats overbeat cipher. Okay, uh,
you know, the regular season is nice and all, but
we're gonna be still helping you out moving forward. And
(20:41):
here's how I accurately did that for you last week.
All right, check this out. And we only had a
Monday show, but I was trying to listen. I've been
talking for weeks now about father time calling for Philip Rivers,
and what do you know, there's a report out that
they may bench him. Listen, they now have four wins.
What are they gonna do? All right? They they need
to plan for this. He wasn't horrible yards, but this
(21:05):
is a talented roster people. Philip Rivers is now the problem,
much way I used to say a year or two
ago about Eli Manning. What are they gonna do is
to rad a better option for them? Do they need
to see? Are they gonna be on the merry go round? Do?
Judging by the way you guys think the poll is
gonna go with Nick Foles. A viable candidate out there
is dalton Is Mariota is a draft pick if they
(21:27):
win four games. But they need to finally invest in this. Okay,
there's gonna be a lot of opportunities fully turned the
page in this offseason. I've been telling you, you know,
I haven't plugged into the Chargers. I love their roster,
but the time has come to everybody to acknowledge that
Philip Rivers is the problem there at this point, and
they need to move on when they still have a
(21:49):
good young defense and a lot of playmakers. All right,
I also listen, I admitted when Jonathan Williams put it
in my eye previous weeks, right when he you know when,
for a hundred and some odd yards, and then I
was like, no, I'm not so sure. And he did
it again, put it in my eye. And then what
did I say? No, no, I'm not so sure. I said,
there's gonna be more nahem Hines, I said, don't go
(22:10):
back to that. Well, especially, you need to start your
studs with everything on the line. If you listen to me,
then you didn't have Jonathan william in and you avoided
his eight carries for fourteen yards. All right, we got
that one, right. You start your studs. And if you're
in the playoffs next week, in week fourteen, and you're
gonna ask me a question like is it getting too
cute going blah blah blah, the answer is yes, start
(22:33):
your studs, even the ones who have somewhat underperformed for
you throughout the season. I also, guys, how many times
do I have to tell you about Davanta Parker. I've
hit his prop bets now like three or four weeks
in a row. Okay, DeVante Parker went seven for one
and two touchdowns for fantasy people. He has been wide
(22:53):
receiver four over the last month. He has been someone
on the waiver wire that I've been talking about for
the last month. I give you the diamonds and the
rough and the faz He's the one to forget about.
How many times do we have to tell you about
these things? Okay, but that wasn't the only one. I'm
talking about. Jack Doyle t d props. I'm talking about
Joe Mixing under props. The spitting statistician was hot on that,
(23:16):
and the spittening statistician told you also, we told you
about the damn Tennessee Titans. They score over thirty points. Again,
I know their defense and special teams blocked the kick
and scored, but when are you gonna start respecting this
Tennessee Titans offense. They have the same balance that a
lot of teams I talked about don't have. I say
rivers as a volume thrower. Mattie I says a volume thrower.
(23:37):
Carson Went says a volume thrower. I say it doesn't
work right. They have balance to scoring thirty points a game.
Tannehill throws seventeen of twenty two eight two yards. That's
only needs seventy seven percent completion percentage. You know why,
because they have balance. Henry goes for a touchdown after oh,
(23:58):
I don't know, twenty six carries one nine and a touchdown.
After all, I don't know. Nineteen carries one nine and
a touchdown. They are outside with Pittsburgh. Nobody wants to
talk about them. They're not a sexy team. They were
Thursday night Football at Jacksonville kind of team. But they
have the balance that I've been saying a lot of
these teams need to crave. And the team that doesn't
(24:20):
have it that I've been talking about the most is
the Philadelphia Eagles. Carson Wentz did it again. He threw
the ball forties some odd times. Miles Sanders is fine,
and I told you about that, but I believe Jordan
Howard is something on this offense gives them bringing it
back the left hand when someone takes it away, you
(24:43):
are still able to enforce your will. Have balance. They've
lost that. Miles Sanders had a good game, trust me,
I had him in my DFS lineup that hit didn't
hit like Drew dink Meyer. Although we did discuss the
damn lineup okay, and I did have Sanders and Jeffrey
and DeVante Parker right put up like one fifth nine.
But I gotta acknowledge what I also got wrong. We
(25:03):
talked about the Jets. The other one is the Rams. Listen,
but in a similar vein and I talked about Goffs
volume thrower. I talked about Girly as that balance, as
that lynchpin. What do you know, Girly goes a touchdown,
you add in Malcolm Brown's thirty yards right, may I
I might have put salt on their grave. I've been
fading them all year long and don't look now. But
(25:28):
if they get the full herd back, and if they
get the balance back in the form of Girly, and
if the Seahawks win this game and Minnesota sticks at
eight wins and the Rams have seven, they are still alive. Now.
I have been fading the Rams and the Bears all
season long. I ultimately do not think it will happen.
But at least last yesterday I got them wrong. They
(25:50):
put it in my eye. They looked again like a
herd and what do you know, like Tyler Higbee seven
for one oh one and one. That is indicative of
the fantasy her That's what the Rams want to do,
along with Girly, along with another back that can be
spell him for a combined. That's what they need to do.
(26:11):
And if they can do that and they stay within reach,
maybe they can. All right, So here's we gotta do.
All right, as we turn the page. Here, let's look
at the waiver wire. I want to do this quickly
because I know some of you, a lot of people.
You should not need the waiver wire right now. Okay,
at this point of the year, you should not need
the waiver wire necessarily. But if you're real deal status
(26:31):
would be the cipher dexter Rojas, Ben Perrying strong style,
Jilly Dilley. You probably need to manage some playoff fantasy
football teams and you may have to play in a
wild card matchup next week. All right, so check it out.
There's some all right. By the way, let's look at
the running back position. Oh and by the way, Jonathan
Williams is the biggest drop right now going on in
(26:53):
most leads. Yeah, Dilley, Dilley, but in any of it.
The number one ad for me, guys, he's only owned.
I can't believe this when I checked, he's only owned
in percent of leagues. I'm talking about rawheam catchup and
most Start. Okay, my my man went for a hundred
forty six yards. But it's more important than that. You
(27:13):
know how I talk about all the time. I've been
saying it for a month. You need to start to
get these handcuffs right. What's important to me is that
with no Matt Breeda, you thought Kevin Coleman would pick
up this slack, but no Coleman stays in the same role.
He's more of a pass catcher. He's more of a
finesse play. Most Start is the between the tackles guy
(27:35):
and if Breed is out or not, this is a
vital piece of the run game, and you want shares
of this run game. He's only owned incent of leagues.
Rocky most Start my number one waiver wire ad. If
you need someone to plug and play, my next guy,
Darius pork Fried Guys, People, shrimp Fried Guys, Jazz Basmati, Rice, Jasmine, Geis,
(27:55):
red Beans and guys. I don't give a Damn, he's
only owned in fifty percent of legues. How many times
I have to tell you about guys. He went ten
for one nine and not one but two touchdowns as
the Washington football team bang people out of their survivor pools.
And I've said he's the kind of young back that
will ascend over time. If you're the Washington football team,
(28:18):
you need to find out about Haskins and Terry McLaurin
and Darius guys. You don't need Adrian Peterson taking three
five ten carries. This will continue. I can't believe he's
unowned in half of league. Right now, go out and
get Darius guys. Darwin Thompson is the other one, guys
that I'll give you at the running back position this
Kansas Same as you want shares of the Kansas City
(28:40):
of the San Francisco run game, you want shares of
the Kansas City offense. And Damian Williams hasn't touched the
field since he got hurt in Mexico City. All right,
Darryl Williams went down Shady McCoy. They are quote unquote
managing his reps. Right, he'll be there, So who else
is it in? Darwin Thompson look good in like drive
(29:01):
where they were trying to kill the clock and end
the game. Darwin Thompson has spunk as a rookie. Darwin
Thompson is only owned in five cent of leagues. I'm
saying it right now. Of these guys, Rocky, most are
Darius guys, you know them. Darwin Thompson has owned in
five percent of leagues. Darwin Thompson will win people fantasy
football leagues this season. Some people are gonna pick up
(29:23):
Darwin Thompson and they're gonna ride a two game hot
streak or three game hot streak. Darwin Thompson is the
man of all these people that is only owned in
five percent of leagues. That could you could go out
right now and bolster your flex spot and win your
league and win that cash. All right. At the wide
receiver position. His names, I've been telling you people, all right,
(29:46):
it's James Washington owned. He's still there. He's the big
play guy. I don't know about Juju, I don't know
about Connor, I don't know about anybody. At this point,
it looks like Deante Johnson and it looks like James
Washington are gonna be the guys for the foreseeable future.
He's only owned the leagues, all right. He scored a
touchdown in three of his last four games, all right,
(30:07):
Robby Anderson coming off a seven for one oh seven
is only seven percent of leagues. And guys, they got
Miami coming up next if you need them, that's a
viable plug and play. I've been telling you about this
guy for a month. I can't believe that DeVante Parker
is only owned in eighty percent of leagues. That's four fifths.
So if you're at the bar right now, or if
you're in the pit of misery right now and you're
(30:29):
about to be a playoff team, look around. If there's
four other people one of you five are in the
league that you can pick up DeVante Parker and right
now he's been wide receiver four for the last month.
Worth the check, That's all I'm saying. The other guy
that's worth the check is Sterling Shepherd. He's owned in
fifty eight percent of leagues. He's back to being the
wide out one for the Giants. You gotta imagine, right,
(30:51):
and he quote a touchdown yesterday as well. When we
come back on the other side of the break, here's
what we're gonna do. I'll give you a couple of
tight ends. Right, We'll talk a little bit about Game
of Inches, we'll talk about the stats over Beats League,
and we'll preview Monday Night Football. And if the closer
wants to come up and we can talk about Game
of Inches, because I know he's had a few, we
could talk about that as well. It's episode four. Other
(31:14):
Fantasy Freestyle status over Beat Cipher got s, we got
Monday Night Football, a lot of people getting in the
playoffs tonight. Daily Daily, I hope you Daily Rodo dot
Com learned from the game's best DFS players. We don't
just give you premier advice. We play every day, all
(31:36):
major sports, all year round. We never stopped industry leading
DFS tools and custom projections, and now the Daily roado
dot Com optimized in minutes, building optimized line up for
cash games and tourneys. Learned from the game's best DFS
players joined Daily Rodo dot com outcast people one of
(32:19):
the best hip hop groups of all time? Do you
know how people do? Top five rappers of all time?
I've always thought it would be like top five groups
of all time would really be interesting you know, without
thinking off the top of my head, you know outcast
a tribe call quest would have to be down you
know what I'm saying. Like, there's a lot of legitimate
groups Wu Tang clan for example, But I digress. I
(32:44):
once had my man Mike Blewett name all nine members
of Wu Tang on air, and he, like, I think
he named like six or seven. It was really impressive,
I gotta tell you. And I mentioned Mike Blewott because
I see him walking past there. The holiday party for
sports Grid is about to pop off. But I gotta
tell you some tight ends that you can look out
on the way for wire first, all right, because um oh,
and by the way, Terry are no, you should not
(33:04):
bench Chris Carson, Starr Carson and Russ make it pop.
And anybody who's let Davante Parker stay on their waiver
wires absolutely out of their damn mind has not been
listening to the spitting statistician helping you win your leagues
and win that cash at tight end. By the way, guys, listen,
I'll say this. I'll say Jack Doyle is still owned
(33:25):
in of leagues. That means he's not owned in forty three.
I said it last week. I bet the Doyle Rules
prop bet and boy did it cash? All right? So
you could listen to me or not. He's someone you
could jet if you lost Olsen or you don't know
if Hooper is coming back. He's someone. Tyler Higgbee is
now a part of this offense. I thought it was
Gerald Everett. They're going away from Everett to Higgbee. That
could be an option. And Gassicki has been growing in
(33:48):
the Dolphins offense as well. Mike Gasicki has six or
more targets every game for the last five in a row,
all right, So that's something that is building in that offense.
Along with DeVante Parker, Ryan Fitzpatrick be slinging it, slinging it,
slinging it. So as we move on. Oh and some
people in the chat room, we're asking about defenses in
week fourteen. Listen, I'm fading Drew Lock right this Houston
(34:11):
defense that's stifled Tom Brady. They've got Drew Lock next week.
I'm on that one. This Philly defense. And Daniel Jones
is a turnover machine. Now maybe Philly is a streaming
defense that could be interesting. I was thinking about Cleveland
as well against Cincinnati, but maybe any Dalton. I was
thinking about green Bay against Washington, but Washington ran the
(34:33):
ball well last week in green Bay struggles against the run.
So look for Houston or Philly as a couple of
other ones in week fifteen. No, for example, Philly again
at Washington in week fifteen, So maybe Philly could help
you out for a couple of weeks if you're really
at the bottom of the barrel and you're looking to
stream uh defenses. All right, Danny, are you with me?
As we round into form for the Sports Grade holiday
(34:56):
party which is about to pop off. I see people
coming on in. You're still in the pit of misery
doing yeoman's work, and I appreciate you for it, Danny Otto,
are you with me? All right? Check this out? We
gotta look at the stats of the Beats League. First
of all, big ups John G regular season champion. However,
check it out, he's gonna I'm gonna beat him this week, Danny.
I'm gonna beat So that means that I beat the
(35:18):
two top teams in this league. John G, who goes
like eleven and two, I beat him. Jilly Dilley, who's
gonna be in second place. I think I beat her.
Mike Fearless did the same thing. But you know, hey,
and I will say this, I had a bad year
in this league. I'm in playoffs and all other places,
you know, everything from the G S T League, which
is a big buy, into the Flex League of Experts.
(35:38):
You know a lot of those guys um too. You
know my big home league too, maybe the Pit League
we do, the Pit of Misery League. I still got
some things going on in that league. I gotta win
and get in and I'm up, so I'm gonna be
on the cusp. I was in like fifth place entering
this week. But in any event, but Danny, I finished
at least ahead of Mendo and his food gazzees, you
(35:59):
know what I mean. So that's a consolation bracket for me. Danny.
You are facing, correct me if I'm wrong. You're facing
the PayPal Steelers. No, I'm Jilly. That's what it is.
You or the PayPal Steelers. I think are going to
get the last playoff spot, right, sounds like it. Yeah,
so you look like you may win. You need some
things to happen. You got your facing. Uh who are
(36:21):
you facing, Danny? You're facing busy Johnson and right, But
what players are you facing? Oh? I am facing hold on,
I didn't have my app open. Hold on? Why now, Danny,
let's see I can find this out for you. Come on, Danny,
you are facing Fearless X alright, so Johnson and Hollister
and they need to combine for four. I like your chances, Danny.
(36:45):
I like your chances, but the key is you also
need Jilly Dilley to come back on PayPal Steelers, and
Jilly Dilley is down by twenty nine. But as Dalvin
Cook and DK metcalf last, Yes, I think you might
get it. I'm open. So check this out, Danny. If
(37:09):
you make the playoffs, you know, that's cool. But other
teams that might make it and have to play next
week are probably like what our boy, Danny Lee the
undisclosed location. Maybe Crypto tooker young CAUs we haven't heard
from young Cars in a while. If any of you
guys are out there and you are in the playoff
matchup next week and you want to call in next week,
we'll do a stats of the Beats League preview you know,
(37:29):
matchup on their for the Thursday show. Sound good, Danny,
and also thanks to everybody for you know, inspiring me
to do this. We did it. We had fun. I
hope everybody in the chat room had fun with it.
In year two. Next year, Danny, we gotta do it
a little bit bigger. Maybe maybe we do multiple divisions.
We make it bigger somehow like that. Okay, sure sounds good.
So check this out, Danny. Monday Night Football. Monday Night
(37:52):
Football is about the pup. Seattle Seahawks are like two
two and a half three point favorites, all right, And
I gotta tell you the truth, Danny. The side scares
me on this game. I I lean Seattle on this game. Okay,
I'll tell everybody that I lean Seattle in this game.
(38:16):
But these are two good teams and people have to
realize that when we were gonna see matchups of two
good teams. And this goes into my thing about you
can't just like auto win, like fill out everybody's schedule
with wins and losses for the last quarter of the season.
We got that whole question up on Make It Rain
and we ask people how many wins are is the
(38:37):
best team in the NFL gonna happen? Everybody was like,
it was you think that these teams are just running
the table. These are two good teams. I'm not sure
this should be a nip and tuck game, but here's
how I see it. Seattle is seven against the spread
in prime time when Russell Wilson is their quarterback. And
that's important to me because I also know that are Cousins.
(39:00):
While he is having a great season, I'll admit that
his achilles heel, his bugaboo, has been prime time games,
clutch spots. And I think when we have two good teams,
I think we are going to be sitting at some
point in the third quarter and this game is gonna
(39:23):
be like you know, seventeen seventeen, seventeen, thirteen, twenty to sixteen,
something like that, a one score game going into you know,
late third quarter. And the question is what do I
believe him. I'm one of the people who said Russell
(39:44):
Wilson was a value at m v P in Week
one when he was to one. I'm still holding the ticket.
So why know, I trust Russell Wilson over cut Cousins
to make a play and not make the mistake in
a close game in the fourth quarter. That's my lean
on this game. But I'm not necessarily doing that. What
(40:05):
I do believe is both teams are gonna try and
control this game via the run. So what I also
see forty nine and a half as a total, I
also lean under II lean first half under my Manjel
RNERI has been betting prime time unders for the last
month and a half and they've been coming in. I
think both of these teams are gonna want to establish
(40:26):
the run. Dalvin Cooke is fifth in the NFL running
the football, Carson Penny, They're gonna want to establish that.
I know the secondaries are not the best on some
of these sides, right outside of bumping whatever. I think
these teams are gonna want to establish their will see
if they can establish the balance. The same thing I've
been telling you is the key for good teams in
(40:47):
close games all season long. So I'll lean under and
I'll lean Seattle in this game. But I wanted to
explain to people and and and um, Danny is venture around?
Do we have anybody aroun? Because I got away that
I'm playing this game and I'm gonna combine. If anybody's around,
let me know, bring them on or put them on,
(41:08):
even put yang on even all right? What I'm gonna
do because this is a very special night. All right,
this is the last night of the Fantasy regular season.
I have two leagues that I'm in. We're based on tonight.
Things will happen. One is in my long time Dynasty
(41:28):
Home league. All right. I am the two time defending
champion my Patreons. You've probably seen me pictures with me
holding this trophy with my name back to back. I
am entering. I entered this week. I was in first
place for a lot. I've been on a two game
losing streak. I entered this week in second place. If
I lose this week, though, I can fall out and
(41:49):
lose my bye, and there's a big difference in the
payouts if I get to buy, you know, for like
the fourth or fifth year in the world. So I
need to win that matchup. I am up by fifty,
but I'm facing Dalvin Cook, so that's no good. But
I have Stefon Diggs, so that's okay. So digs and
up fifteen versus Dalvin Cook. So I know that Cook
(42:13):
needs to have a huge game in order for me
to lose. So what do I do. I look at
the Dalvin Cook prop bets, and I see Dalvin Cook
over under eighty one and a half rushing yards or
a hundred and twenty eight combined yards, and I know
that he's gonna need to hit over in order for
(42:34):
him to beat me and Stefon Diggs and fifteen points.
So I bet the Dalvin Cook prop bets over. It's
called hedging my bet, fantasy and prop bets and another one.
And this is why I wanted Ventra the Pit of
Misery League. I don't know if y'all hear this. And
we talked about g ST League, which by the way,
I'm dominant in. That's the big money expert league that
(42:57):
I played Jim Ross in the playoffs. And you remember that, Danny, Right, Well,
I'm gonna be eleven and two and in first place
in that one. But I digress. Yeah, man, there's big things.
That's that's that could be nice, um. But in this
Pit a Misery League, Danny, with the minute or two
that we have left, I need to win. It's one
of those leagues where like fifth through like ninth place,
(43:19):
everyone was, you know, seven and five or six and
six or whatever. A lot of teams in the middle
that could have made it. And I was in fifth
place going into this last week. If I win, I'm in.
If I lose, I fall right out. Okay, I am winning.
I am facing your boy representing the Goon squad, Chris Ventrum.
(43:39):
I am up on him. I'm up on him by
I believe it's like twelve or over at so points.
He has Hollister left to go. That's it, and as
you know, that's possible. But I think it's only possible
if Hollister gets into the end zone. He's not a
volume catching threat in the Seattle offense. This is a
run heavy offense. It's in my opinion right, So he's
(44:02):
only gonna beat me if Hollister gets a touchdown. I look,
and the prop bet for Hollister to score at any
time touchdown is plus two eighty. That's good money to me.
I'm gonna bet a unit on Hollister to get a
touchdown because if he gets a touchdown, I hit the
prop bet and maybe Venture gets enough points to hop
over me and force me out of the playoffs. But
(44:23):
I hit my prop bet at plus two seventy or
plus two eighty, so I feel all right about that
on balance. Now, if he doesn't score a touchdown. I
think it will be very hard then staring at him
needing to go, you know, like six for sixty five,
and I don't think that happens. Yes, there's a universe
where I lose both. We figured it out in the
pit of misery, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
(44:43):
And that's me doing the cross sport cross platform heads special.
That's what it is. So in any event, guys, thank
you to the Status over Beat cipher. I hope you
guys make your playoffs all right, hit me up with
screenshots your matchups. Thursday, we'll be right at it. We
had to Thanksgiving kind of holiday break off. Thursday will
be right back at it. I'll do a full segment
(45:06):
guys of calling in and answering your questions to get
your SIDS starts going for the playoffs. We will open
up the phone Danny on Thursday for a full segment
for all your sitting and starts, and we'll try to
figure that out so we can keep it rolling. But
thanks to Henry Henderson who said he's making the league
be a playoffs because of my advice, people like John G. Dexter,
(45:26):
strong style and the stats over Beat cipher. I am
live in multiple playoffs. Especially We'll see what happens on
Monday Night football Eileen Seattle, Eileen Under and we'll see
what Hollis Stir and Cook could do. I'll be back
hopefully y'all are in the playoffs. I know. I am Dilley. Dilley.
The Sports Grid holiday party is about to pop off.
(45:46):
You know what it is? Yeah, do sabe. I'm out.
I gotta finish this first beer and have some mothers.
That sports Grid is apparently paying for me, and I'm
thankful for that. We'll be back Fantasy playoffs on Thursday.

(46:38):
missed on Fantasy Freestyle. This is a big night for
a lot of people. Okay, it is Week thirteen, Monday
Night football. We got Vikings Seahawks about to kick off
in like an hour, hour and a half. But that's
not why it's huge for a lot of people. There
are a lot of people were depending on what happens tonight,
(47:01):
they will either make their fantasy playoffs or not. They
will get a buy or not, depending on the kind
of payouts of your league, depending on the dynasty settings
of your league. A lot of stuff is going to
get decided tonight. So I want to proactively wish the
(47:22):
Status over beat Cipher everything possible, Dilly dilly, that you
get the seating, the money, you want to win your
leagues and win neck cash. Let's get into it though.
Um we usually start with the injuries and this will
be nothing else because most people in the Status will
beat Cipher have to worry about this because they're playing
either next week or in week fifteen. Alright, So t J.
(47:43):
Hockenson to the I R. Okay, Yeah, not a bad
rookie season, and I don't usually like tight ends in
the rookie season, but he did well. Something to build
off of. Okay, they also say they're gonna keep Matt
Stafford active because you know, they have quote unquote respect
for his competitiveness. He shut down people, all right, plan accordingly,
Um Darryl Williams in Kansas City that Hammy he got
shot by a sniper or something early in about second
(48:05):
third quarter of that game. This is gonna be very
interesting between Shady McCoy, Darwin Thompson, maybe a returning Damian Williams.
This is one of the very few spots to still watch. Okay,
as you move forward into your fantasy playoffs. Caitlin Blage
went down to look bad. They carted him off. That's
not left to like, you know, Patrick Laird and Miles Gaskin.
I'm not so sure that's a situation you want to watch.
Um greg Olsen went down with a concussion, right, so
(48:28):
maybe you need a waiver tight end. We'll give you
one or two, all right, and we'll do it like
we do on Mondays. All Right, what Speed's got right,
what Speed's got wrong? The biggest takeaways that you could
parlay forward and then we will look to the waiver wire.
You never know, maybe you lost some of these guys. Right, um,
maybe you have something really bad like depth chart issues.
All right, so we're gonna try to find every little
(48:49):
nugget to fight off the fugazies for you to win
your leagues and win neck cash. Also moving forward to Chester,
Rodgers went down with a knee. Uh Zack Pascal maybe.
Oh and by the way, Doyle rules my man Frank
Stanfeld of the BFS, he knows that I was all
over that on Sunday morning. I told you that in
the waiver why I picked up. Hopefully that worked out
for you as well. If you look forward though, Austin
(49:09):
Hooper backpracticing coming off an m CL he may be available.
Some wide receivers may get activated off I R John
Ross and Cincinnati, Devin Funchius in Indianapolis. Oh and by
the way, the Jags are going back to Gardner Minshew.
He is going to start week fourteen. Be sure to

and by the way, Doyle rules my man Frank Stafel
of the BFFs, he knows that I was all over

waiver why I pick up. Hopefully that worked out for
(03:58):
you as well. If you look forward though, Austin Hooper
backpracticing coming off a m CL he may be available.
Some wide receivers may get activated off I are John
Ross and Cincinnati Devin Funchius in Indianapolis. Oh and by
the way, the Jags are going back to Gardner Minshew.
He is going to start Week fourteen for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
(04:18):
And that brings us to our poll question. The question
I have you straight up is not right now, but
next year, who will be the Jacksonville Jaguars starting quarterback
come the opening of preseason and week one next year?
Is it the mustache minshew mania? Is it the guy
that they spent something like eighty some odd million dollars
for Nick Foles, the guy that they got, the offensive coordinator,
(04:40):
and John d. Filippo, who was you know, perfect fit
for him, had success with him. Built it all around
that big Knick energy. Where is it door number three,
which could be this quarterback? Merry go round. I've been
talking about all season long, from the Cam Newton's to
the Marcus Mariotas, to the Andy Dalton's, the maybe Philip
Rivers and Matt Staffords. Or via the draft. You know,
(05:02):
we've been tanking for toa that ain't gonna happen. But now,
could a team like Jackson, or if they were drafting
like twelve, could they get a guy like two at
that spot or from or Eastern? What will the Jags
do our quarterback? That is a pole question for us
today here with the stats over beat Cipher, uh you know,
Pluto channel five seventeen, Zumo channel seven nineteen. We're gonna
(05:24):
look at that. We're gonna look at the takeaways, we'll
look at the waiver for wire, and we will look
at the stats overbeat Cipher league for sure. But if
I were to give you general principles, I've been telling
you guys for weeks it is time to trim the
fat on the bottom part of your roster. You are
now looking for the best possible lineup you can have
for like two different weeks. You you are looking at
(05:45):
week fifteen or week fourteen, if you're really getting ahead
of yourselves, find the matchups for that week. And boy,
oh boy, Danny, we're also going to talk a little
bit about some Game of Inches because we've been having
it all season long. Danny, we have to recap him
because I want to see and one of them is
Chris Ventra. He is in the building, Danny, in the
pit of misery. If we can get Chris Ventra to
(06:07):
come up here for maybe the middle segment because we
got to talk about our Game of Inches finalists, that
would be awesome if the closer could join us. And
I asked because by the way, guys, it's the Sports
Grid holiday party going down tonight right after Fantasy Freestyle
is done. There will be no win game live. We
are going to, uh, you know, we're gonna do our
little chips and dip and soda and yule Tide secret
(06:31):
Santa action as we watch Monday night football. So I'll
tell you what I'm looking for about that as well,
but listen as we get into the takeaways. The first
thing I have to tell you, and the real ones
are about that San Francisco Baltimore game and what we
saw last night. But before we go to break, I
also gotta tell you I think they're changing the standard
for this past interference, this review, this replay, this generating
(06:53):
past interference or offensive pass interference. In the first few weeks,
it just never happened, right. We were starting to get
used to the fact that up coach coaches are wasting
their challenge if they do that. Well, they overturned three
of the six last week. There are a couple of
examples this week where they overturned it. And I think
that's even worse. We used I used to be able
to understand that it's not worth it for coaches. Now
(07:15):
you're putting coaches in a bad spot. Now coaches think, well,
they may actually turn it and everyone sees it on
the damn JumboTron, So maybe I gotta throw the flag.
What is the standard when it comes to this, And
I'm sorry, but this is still subjective. This is still
gonna bite somebody in the ass come late regular season
playoff push or playoff time, maybe they'll be the New
(07:38):
Orleans Saints again. Uh, we shall see where we got
one more show. Then we got the Sports Grid holiday Party.
I got the statue of Beach Cipher. Tell me what
you want me to ask anybody at sports Grid at
the holiday party. You want me to ask Gabe why
he's drinking the white wine. You want me to ask
Frank Standford what prop Betsy likes. You want me to
ask Harrie l Epstein if she thinks Lamar Jackson and
(07:58):
the Baltimore Ravens are issue in for the Zuper Ball.
Let me know in the chat room. Let me know
your questions. We'll take it back episode four and twenty
one of the Fantasy Freestyle right here on Sports Grade Takeaways.
I want the fitting statistician got right and wrong for
Week thirteen On the other side of the break, gott
do sab. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

(09:04):
I'm out some sliders and like a minute, and by minute,
I mean forty five minutes when we have this holiday party.
But I gotta still help people, you know, when their
leagues and win their cats and stats over beat Cipher
on fire. I told you about that past interference, which
are things the problem, But here's the thing, my main takeaway,
and I know you've probably been hearing about this all
day long, the demise of the Patriots and whether or
(09:24):
not it is greatly overstated or understated. And I'm gonna
be consistent people. I've been saying the same damn thing
about the Patriots, and I'll say the same thing in
portions of it. What we saw last night is in
fact a blueprint on the defensive side. What Houston did
(09:44):
real well is they said, you know what we're gonna
take away Edelman. We're gonna double him we're gonna bracket him,
and we're gonna put a real cornerback or somebody could
actually cover James White. Now what Tom Brady? Now what
you know? And here's the thing we talked about all
the time. The Patriots like him make you play left handed.
That's what they did against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady yesterday.
(10:05):
And the problem is Edelman still did find six for
one oh six for one touchdown. A lot of garbage time.
James White two touchdowns, a lot of garbage time. If
you're a game of inches because of that, or you
know the Miami Dolphins kicker or the Kansas City Chiefs defense,
I want to know. But Brady doesn't trust the left hand.
(10:26):
They made a huge part of it on the telecast,
collins Worth going over, oh he gave the gun signal,
read his lips with McDaniels. They don't trust Jacoby Myers,
Matt Lacrosse, um, even Mohammed Sanu. Alright, they don't have
that chemistry. They don't have that stretched the field. That
is a real problem for them if they play. Now. Listen,
the Texans have four first round picks and second round
(10:48):
picks in their back secondary. Not everyone will be able
to do that. But we've seen it all year, all right,
and that is real. The other thing I will say is,
and I've said it all year, the Patriots are the
default team. But there is one of three men in
the a f C. Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and I've
(11:11):
always said the third was named Deshaun Watson. And that's
what happened last night. DeShawn Watson, who touchdowns off script,
extending plays, he made plays even avoiding a sack. Collinsworth
was slurping him because he avoided a sack to extend
to drive. And that is important. Okay. Last year I said,
and I'm gonna go a step further. Know the Patriots
(11:32):
aren't done, but those three men, Lamar Jackson, Patty Mahomes
and Deshaun Watson can beat them. And a defense that's
real good like oh, I don't know, Buffalo might be
able to stifle them. If they take away Entleman, if
they take away James White. I'm serious. Tennessee has beaten
them in the past. And here's the catch. Last year
(11:53):
the Patriots went three and five on the road. They
got the sacrificial lamb in the form of the Chargers
on division in a weekend, which is what always happens.
Sometimes they get the Texans, sometimes they get the Colts,
sometimes they get the Titans. Sometimes they get you know,
like they did last year, the Chargers. They went three
and five on the road last year. Look at their
(12:14):
road record this year. They beat on the road already,
like Miami, the Jets, Washington, They have Cincinnati. Still, that's fine.
That's four of them. Look at the other four. They
beat Philly by seven, Phillies below five. People don't like them.
(12:39):
They beat Buffalo by six, They lost the Baltimore, they
lost to Houston. I think that New England better get
a bye, better get home field advantage, because I do
not think they can go on the road and beat
two of those three teams on the road in back
(13:00):
to back weeks. If they are the three seed or lower,
they will not make the playoffs. If they're the two
seed and they have to have you know, the Chiefs,
maybe come in, maybe they and maybe this is a
different thing. Are they dead? No, Will they still go
thirteen and three? Probably? You know what I mean. But
that is a huge takeaway for me. Tom Brady is
obviously frustrated. He's first in the league in attempts twenty
(13:22):
nine in the league and completion percentage. That is a
huge takeaway. And San Francisco and Baltimore living on the
other side of it. Okay, that was an amazing game.
San Francisco forty Niners fans should be happy right now.
You know, you get three points for the home field advantage.
They won a great three point game. What I learned
if I'm a forty nine is fan that run defense.
I mean that defense travels, that run game travels. There
(13:44):
were three sacks, nine penalties combined in that game. I
talked about, you know how that can undercut any visceray teams.
It didn't happen in that game. If this is a
Super Bowl preview, I'm good with it. The problem is
that San Francis SKO can literally fall to the five
seed tonight with the Seattle victory. We'll talk about that
a little bit later on. Also a big takeaway for
(14:06):
me is nobody wants to win this NFC East Dallas
defecates the mattress on Thanksgiving Day. I gave out Buffalo
plus the points. By the way, Philly with everything right
in front of them in Miami, a game they should
win they defecate the Mattress. Philly now still a game
behind the five and seven. I'm gonna tell you this,
I think Philly still has the inside track. Look at
the schedule. Dallas has Chicago, the Rams at Philly in
(14:28):
the big showdown game, and then Washington. Philly has the
Giants twice and Washington and then that showdown game with
the Cowboys in Philadelphia. I still think Eagles could win
this NFC East. I don't think they're gonna look good
doing it. I think it might be at eight and eight,
but you can get them at like plus two fifty
(14:49):
plus three hundred to win that division. Everyone still thinks
Dallas is gonna win that division. I don't necessarily think so.
And then another poll question we put up is this
idea of like, how many teams do you think are
gonna like it's the record of the best team, and
everyone thinks it's fourteen and two. Everyone thinks the you know,
the Ravens are gonna win out or the Saints will
win out, and you can't do that. Listen, yesterday, the Bengals,
(15:11):
the Dolphins, and the Washington football team all one last week, Right,
these teams are gonna win some games. The high end
teams are gonna lose some games. It just happens, all right,
So you gotta take advantage of this. You gotta take
advantage this when you start to see these big lines.
Think about a Carolina was a ten point favorite, Washington
beats him, Philly was a ten point favorite, Miami beats them,
(15:35):
all right. The case Chiefs, they were a ten point favorite.
They were the only double digit favorite to get it
actually done and cover the big number. Okay, we're gonna
start adjusting. People are gonna start thinking over perceiving these
bad teams and over inflating these good teams. They will
be some ws and nells that pop up every week.
That's why you're still not in your survivor pool, all right.
(15:55):
I must admit also a couple of things that I
got wrong, all right, and I don't know. Break out
the damnit doll. I guess you know what I mean.
That's what you gotta do. Break out the actual damnit doll.
This is what we talk about um with the Jets
and Jilly Dilley shout out to the cipher, right, I
have the Jets, damnit doll. But guys, the Cincinnati Bengals
(16:18):
run defense was like historically bad. Literally, I said it
on this show. All season long, multiple teams had run
for two hundred yards against them, right strong style, damnit, damnit,
damn it. You know what I mean, that's what we need.
Why do they not run the ball? Why are they
not running the ball against the Cincinnati Bengals. Levy on
(16:41):
Bell goes for ten carries for thirty two yards against
a run. Why does Adam Gays have to try to
front like he's the smartest person in the room, you
know what I mean? Why does Adam Gays have to
be like, you know what I'm gonna do. Everyone runs
for two eyes against him. I'm gonna show I'm gonna
throw the ball. Joe Rnery said it best that he
tries to think he's so smart, tries to be the
(17:03):
smartest guy in the room, and that's what he thinks
he does all the damn time. You could have just
ran the ball with Levy on Bell multiple fin times.
They decided not to do that. Sam Donald forty eight attempts.
What do I tell you guys about being a volume thrower?
And the Cincinnati Bengals never forced you to have to
be a volume thrower. I got that wrong. I thought
(17:24):
the Jets would be more than good enough. They were
all high and mighty, but to be quite honest and Roland,
But to be quite honest, Maybe this helps my ultimate
narrative because I don't think there's anything going on right
now with the Jets. I do want the better draft pick.
I do want gay Is gone, and maybe an embarrassing
loss like this. Now they are the first team ever
to lose to two teams that were winless with more
than seven losses in the season. They lost to the
(17:47):
Miami Dolphins, giving them their first win. They've now lost
to the Cincinnati Bengals, giving them their first win. Maybe
this eats, you know, Christopher and Woody Johnson would be like, no,
we don't need this, NA. Let's find you know, Matt Rule,
Jim Habball. Nah, let's find someone else that's going in
a different direction. Let's bring back Mike McCarthy and bring
some grown, you know, stability to this place. Maybe who
knows I got that wrong. I'll tell you on the
(18:09):
other side of the break, there's another team I got
wrong that bounced back. There is the return of what
works for the real team. Then we'll talk about what
I got right. There were definitely some things. Listen, if
you followed me in DFS and prop bets, we were good.
We'll talk about that. Then we'll spin it forward to
the waiver wire if you're still in the playoffs. And
then you know, as we go into the Sports Screen
holiday party, we'll see if the closer wants to come
(18:31):
up and talk about his game of inches and how
that game of inches may keep him out of the
Fantasy playoffs. That's tough, Dilly dilly, Fantasy Freestyle spent one.

I'm checking out the chat room right now. Dexter Rojas
three out of four leagues in their playoffs, strong style,
three out of four leagues in their playoffs. That's what
we do here with the stats overbeat cipher. Okay, uh,
you know, the regular season is nice and all, but
we're gonna be still helping you out moving forward. And
(20:41):
here's how I accurately did that for you last week.
All right, check this out. And we only had a
Monday show, but I was trying to listen. I've been
talking for weeks now about father time calling for Philip Rivers,
and what do you know, there's a report out that
they may bench him. Listen, they now have four wins.
What are they gonna do? All right? They they need
to plan for this. He wasn't horrible yards, but this
(21:05):
is a talented roster people. Philip Rivers is now the problem,
much way I used to say a year or two
ago about Eli Manning. What are they gonna do is
to rad a better option for them? Do they need
to see? Are they gonna be on the merry go round? Do?
Judging by the way you guys think the poll is
gonna go with Nick Foles. A viable candidate out there
is dalton Is Mariota is a draft pick if they
(21:27):
win four games. But they need to finally invest in this. Okay,
there's gonna be a lot of opportunities fully turned the
page in this offseason. I've been telling you, you know,
I haven't plugged into the Chargers. I love their roster,
but the time has come to everybody to acknowledge that
Philip Rivers is the problem there at this point, and
they need to move on when they still have a
(21:49):
good young defense and a lot of playmakers. All right,
I also listen, I admitted when Jonathan Williams put it
in my eye previous weeks, right when he you know when,
for a hundred and some odd yards, and then I
was like, no, I'm not so sure. And he did
it again, put it in my eye. And then what
did I say? No, no, I'm not so sure. I said,
there's gonna be more nahem Hines, I said, don't go
(22:10):
back to that. Well, especially, you need to start your
studs with everything on the line. If you listen to me,
then you didn't have Jonathan william in and you avoided
his eight carries for fourteen yards. All right, we got
that one, right. You start your studs. And if you're
in the playoffs next week, in week fourteen, and you're
gonna ask me a question like is it getting too
cute going blah blah blah, the answer is yes, start
(22:33):
your studs, even the ones who have somewhat underperformed for
you throughout the season. I also, guys, how many times
do I have to tell you about Davanta Parker. I've
hit his prop bets now like three or four weeks
in a row. Okay, DeVante Parker went seven for one
and two touchdowns for fantasy people. He has been wide
(22:53):
receiver four over the last month. He has been someone
on the waiver wire that I've been talking about for
the last month. I give you the diamonds and the
rough and the faz He's the one to forget about.
How many times do we have to tell you about
these things? Okay, but that wasn't the only one. I'm
talking about. Jack Doyle t d props. I'm talking about
Joe Mixing under props. The spitting statistician was hot on that,
(23:16):
and the spittening statistician told you also, we told you
about the damn Tennessee Titans. They score over thirty points. Again,
I know their defense and special teams blocked the kick
and scored, but when are you gonna start respecting this
Tennessee Titans offense. They have the same balance that a
lot of teams I talked about don't have. I say
rivers as a volume thrower. Mattie I says a volume thrower.
(23:37):
Carson Went says a volume thrower. I say it doesn't
work right. They have balance to scoring thirty points a game.
Tannehill throws seventeen of twenty two eight two yards. That's
only needs seventy seven percent completion percentage. You know why,
because they have balance. Henry goes for a touchdown after oh,
(23:58):
I don't know, twenty six carries one nine and a touchdown.
After all, I don't know. Nineteen carries one nine and
a touchdown. They are outside with Pittsburgh. Nobody wants to
talk about them. They're not a sexy team. They were
Thursday night Football at Jacksonville kind of team. But they
have the balance that I've been saying a lot of
these teams need to crave. And the team that doesn't
(24:20):
have it that I've been talking about the most is
the Philadelphia Eagles. Carson Wentz did it again. He threw
the ball forties some odd times. Miles Sanders is fine,
and I told you about that, but I believe Jordan
Howard is something on this offense gives them bringing it
back the left hand when someone takes it away, you
(24:43):
are still able to enforce your will. Have balance. They've
lost that. Miles Sanders had a good game, trust me,
I had him in my DFS lineup that hit didn't
hit like Drew dink Meyer. Although we did discuss the
damn lineup okay, and I did have Sanders and Jeffrey
and DeVante Parker right put up like one fifth nine.
But I gotta acknowledge what I also got wrong. We
(25:03):
talked about the Jets. The other one is the Rams. Listen,
but in a similar vein and I talked about Goffs
volume thrower. I talked about Girly as that balance, as
that lynchpin. What do you know, Girly goes a touchdown,
you add in Malcolm Brown's thirty yards right, may I
I might have put salt on their grave. I've been
fading them all year long and don't look now. But
(25:28):
if they get the full herd back, and if they
get the balance back in the form of Girly, and
if the Seahawks win this game and Minnesota sticks at
eight wins and the Rams have seven, they are still alive. Now.
I have been fading the Rams and the Bears all
season long. I ultimately do not think it will happen.
But at least last yesterday I got them wrong. They
(25:50):
put it in my eye. They looked again like a
herd and what do you know, like Tyler Higbee seven
for one oh one and one. That is indicative of
the fantasy her That's what the Rams want to do,
along with Girly, along with another back that can be
spell him for a combined. That's what they need to do.
(26:11):
And if they can do that and they stay within reach,
maybe they can. All right, So here's we gotta do.
All right, as we turn the page. Here, let's look
at the waiver wire. I want to do this quickly
because I know some of you, a lot of people.
You should not need the waiver wire right now. Okay,
at this point of the year, you should not need
the waiver wire necessarily. But if you're real deal status
(26:31):
would be the cipher dexter Rojas, Ben Perrying strong style,
Jilly Dilley. You probably need to manage some playoff fantasy
football teams and you may have to play in a
wild card matchup next week. All right, so check it out.
There's some all right. By the way, let's look at
the running back position. Oh and by the way, Jonathan
Williams is the biggest drop right now going on in
(26:53):
most leads. Yeah, Dilley, Dilley, but in any of it.
The number one ad for me, guys, he's only owned.
I can't believe this when I checked, he's only owned
in percent of leagues. I'm talking about rawheam catchup and
most Start. Okay, my my man went for a hundred
forty six yards. But it's more important than that. You
(27:13):
know how I talk about all the time. I've been
saying it for a month. You need to start to
get these handcuffs right. What's important to me is that
with no Matt Breeda, you thought Kevin Coleman would pick
up this slack, but no Coleman stays in the same role.
He's more of a pass catcher. He's more of a
finesse play. Most Start is the between the tackles guy
(27:35):
and if Breed is out or not, this is a
vital piece of the run game, and you want shares
of this run game. He's only owned incent of leagues.
Rocky most Start my number one waiver wire ad. If
you need someone to plug and play, my next guy,
Darius pork Fried Guys, People, shrimp Fried Guys, Jazz Basmati, Rice, Jasmine, Geis,
(27:55):
red Beans and guys. I don't give a Damn, he's
only owned in fifty percent of legues. How many times
I have to tell you about guys. He went ten
for one nine and not one but two touchdowns as
the Washington football team bang people out of their survivor pools.
And I've said he's the kind of young back that
will ascend over time. If you're the Washington football team,
(28:18):
you need to find out about Haskins and Terry McLaurin
and Darius guys. You don't need Adrian Peterson taking three
five ten carries. This will continue. I can't believe he's
unowned in half of league. Right now, go out and
get Darius guys. Darwin Thompson is the other one, guys
that I'll give you at the running back position this
Kansas Same as you want shares of the Kansas City
(28:40):
of the San Francisco run game, you want shares of
the Kansas City offense. And Damian Williams hasn't touched the
field since he got hurt in Mexico City. All right,
Darryl Williams went down Shady McCoy. They are quote unquote
managing his reps. Right, he'll be there, So who else
is it in? Darwin Thompson look good in like drive
(29:01):
where they were trying to kill the clock and end
the game. Darwin Thompson has spunk as a rookie. Darwin
Thompson is only owned in five cent of leagues. I'm
saying it right now. Of these guys, Rocky, most are
Darius guys, you know them. Darwin Thompson has owned in
five percent of leagues. Darwin Thompson will win people fantasy
football leagues this season. Some people are gonna pick up
(29:23):
Darwin Thompson and they're gonna ride a two game hot
streak or three game hot streak. Darwin Thompson is the
man of all these people that is only owned in
five percent of leagues. That could you could go out
right now and bolster your flex spot and win your
league and win that cash. All right. At the wide
receiver position. His names, I've been telling you people, all right,
(29:46):
it's James Washington owned. He's still there. He's the big
play guy. I don't know about Juju, I don't know
about Connor, I don't know about anybody. At this point,
it looks like Deante Johnson and it looks like James
Washington are gonna be the guys for the foreseeable future.
He's only owned the leagues, all right. He scored a
touchdown in three of his last four games, all right,
(30:07):
Robby Anderson coming off a seven for one oh seven
is only seven percent of leagues. And guys, they got
Miami coming up next if you need them, that's a
viable plug and play. I've been telling you about this
guy for a month. I can't believe that DeVante Parker
is only owned in eighty percent of leagues. That's four fifths.
So if you're at the bar right now, or if
you're in the pit of misery right now and you're
(30:29):
about to be a playoff team, look around. If there's
four other people one of you five are in the
league that you can pick up DeVante Parker and right
now he's been wide receiver four for the last month.
Worth the check, That's all I'm saying. The other guy
that's worth the check is Sterling Shepherd. He's owned in
fifty eight percent of leagues. He's back to being the
wide out one for the Giants. You gotta imagine, right,
(30:51):
and he quote a touchdown yesterday as well. When we
come back on the other side of the break, here's
what we're gonna do. I'll give you a couple of
tight ends. Right, We'll talk a little bit about Game
of Inches, we'll talk about the stats over Beats League,
and we'll preview Monday Night Football. And if the closer
wants to come up and we can talk about Game
of Inches, because I know he's had a few, we
could talk about that as well. It's episode four. Other
(31:14):
Fantasy Freestyle status over Beat Cipher got s, we got
Monday Night Football, a lot of people getting in the
playoffs tonight. Daily Daily, I hope you Daily Rodo dot
Com learned from the game's best DFS players. We don't

(31:36):

players joined Daily Rodo dot com outcast people one of
(32:19):
the best hip hop groups of all time? Do you
know how people do? Top five rappers of all time?
I've always thought it would be like top five groups
of all time would really be interesting you know, without
thinking off the top of my head, you know outcast
a tribe call quest would have to be down you
know what I'm saying. Like, there's a lot of legitimate
groups Wu Tang clan for example, But I digress. I
(32:44):
once had my man Mike Blewett name all nine members
of Wu Tang on air, and he, like, I think
he named like six or seven. It was really impressive,
I gotta tell you. And I mentioned Mike Blewott because
I see him walking past there. The holiday party for
sports Grid is about to pop off. But I gotta
tell you some tight ends that you can look out
on the way for wire first, all right, because um oh,
and by the way, Terry are no, you should not
(33:04):
bench Chris Carson, Starr Carson and Russ make it pop.
And anybody who's let Davante Parker stay on their waiver
wires absolutely out of their damn mind has not been
listening to the spitting statistician helping you win your leagues
and win that cash at tight end. By the way, guys, listen,
I'll say this. I'll say Jack Doyle is still owned
(33:25):
in of leagues. That means he's not owned in forty three.
I said it last week. I bet the Doyle Rules
prop bet and boy did it cash? All right? So
you could listen to me or not. He's someone you
could jet if you lost Olsen or you don't know
if Hooper is coming back. He's someone. Tyler Higgbee is
now a part of this offense. I thought it was
Gerald Everett. They're going away from Everett to Higgbee. That
could be an option. And Gassicki has been growing in
(33:48):
the Dolphins offense as well. Mike Gasicki has six or
more targets every game for the last five in a row,
all right, So that's something that is building in that offense.
Along with DeVante Parker, Ryan Fitzpatrick be slinging it, slinging it,
slinging it. So as we move on. Oh and some
people in the chat room, we're asking about defenses in
week fourteen. Listen, I'm fading Drew Lock right this Houston
(34:11):
defense that's stifled Tom Brady. They've got Drew Lock next week.
I'm on that one. This Philly defense. And Daniel Jones
is a turnover machine. Now maybe Philly is a streaming
defense that could be interesting. I was thinking about Cleveland
as well against Cincinnati, but maybe any Dalton. I was
thinking about green Bay against Washington, but Washington ran the
(34:33):
ball well last week in green Bay struggles against the run.
So look for Houston or Philly as a couple of
other ones in week fifteen. No, for example, Philly again
at Washington in week fifteen, So maybe Philly could help
you out for a couple of weeks if you're really
at the bottom of the barrel and you're looking to
stream uh defenses. All right, Danny, are you with me?
As we round into form for the Sports Grade holiday
(34:56):
party which is about to pop off. I see people
coming on in. You're still in the pit of misery
doing yeoman's work, and I appreciate you for it, Danny Otto,
are you with me? All right? Check this out? We
gotta look at the stats of the Beats League. First
of all, big ups John G regular season champion. However,
check it out, he's gonna I'm gonna beat him this week, Danny.
I'm gonna beat So that means that I beat the
(35:18):
two top teams in this league. John G, who goes
like eleven and two, I beat him. Jilly Dilley, who's
gonna be in second place. I think I beat her.
Mike Fearless did the same thing. But you know, hey,
and I will say this, I had a bad year
in this league. I'm in playoffs and all other places,
you know, everything from the G S T League, which
is a big buy, into the Flex League of Experts.
(35:38):
You know a lot of those guys um too. You
know my big home league too, maybe the Pit League
we do, the Pit of Misery League. I still got
some things going on in that league. I gotta win
and get in and I'm up, so I'm gonna be
on the cusp. I was in like fifth place entering
this week. But in any event, but Danny, I finished
at least ahead of Mendo and his food gazzees, you
(35:59):
know what I mean. So that's a consolation bracket for me. Danny.
You are facing, correct me if I'm wrong. You're facing
the PayPal Steelers. No, I'm Jilly. That's what it is.
You or the PayPal Steelers. I think are going to
get the last playoff spot, right, sounds like it. Yeah,
so you look like you may win. You need some
things to happen. You got your facing. Uh who are
(36:21):
you facing, Danny? You're facing busy Johnson and right, But
what players are you facing? Oh? I am facing hold on,
I didn't have my app open. Hold on? Why now, Danny,
let's see I can find this out for you. Come on, Danny,
you are facing Fearless X alright, so Johnson and Hollister
and they need to combine for four. I like your chances, Danny.
(36:45):
I like your chances, but the key is you also
need Jilly Dilley to come back on PayPal Steelers, and
Jilly Dilley is down by twenty nine. But as Dalvin
Cook and DK metcalf last, Yes, I think you might
get it. I'm open. So check this out, Danny. If
(37:09):
you make the playoffs, you know, that's cool. But other
teams that might make it and have to play next
week are probably like what our boy, Danny Lee the
undisclosed location. Maybe Crypto tooker young CAUs we haven't heard
from young Cars in a while. If any of you
guys are out there and you are in the playoff
matchup next week and you want to call in next week,
we'll do a stats of the Beats League preview you know,
(37:29):
matchup on their for the Thursday show. Sound good, Danny,
and also thanks to everybody for you know, inspiring me
to do this. We did it. We had fun. I
hope everybody in the chat room had fun with it.
In year two. Next year, Danny, we gotta do it
a little bit bigger. Maybe maybe we do multiple divisions.
We make it bigger somehow like that. Okay, sure sounds good.
So check this out, Danny. Monday Night Football. Monday Night
(37:52):
Football is about the pup. Seattle Seahawks are like two
two and a half three point favorites, all right, And
I gotta tell you the truth, Danny. The side scares
me on this game. I I lean Seattle on this game. Okay,
I'll tell everybody that I lean Seattle in this game.
(38:16):
But these are two good teams and people have to
realize that when we were gonna see matchups of two
good teams. And this goes into my thing about you
can't just like auto win, like fill out everybody's schedule
with wins and losses for the last quarter of the season.
We got that whole question up on Make It Rain
and we ask people how many wins are is the
(38:37):
best team in the NFL gonna happen? Everybody was like,
it was you think that these teams are just running
the table. These are two good teams. I'm not sure
this should be a nip and tuck game, but here's
how I see it. Seattle is seven against the spread
in prime time when Russell Wilson is their quarterback. And
that's important to me because I also know that are Cousins.
(39:00):
While he is having a great season, I'll admit that
his achilles heel, his bugaboo, has been prime time games,
clutch spots. And I think when we have two good teams,
I think we are going to be sitting at some
point in the third quarter and this game is gonna
(39:23):
be like you know, seventeen seventeen, seventeen, thirteen, twenty to sixteen,
something like that, a one score game going into you know,
late third quarter. And the question is what do I
believe him. I'm one of the people who said Russell
(39:44):
Wilson was a value at m v P in Week
one when he was to one. I'm still holding the ticket.
So why know, I trust Russell Wilson over cut Cousins
to make a play and not make the mistake in
a close game in the fourth quarter. That's my lean
on this game. But I'm not necessarily doing that. What
(40:05):
I do believe is both teams are gonna try and
control this game via the run. So what I also
see forty nine and a half as a total, I
also lean under II lean first half under my Manjel
RNERI has been betting prime time unders for the last
month and a half and they've been coming in. I
think both of these teams are gonna want to establish
(40:26):
the run. Dalvin Cooke is fifth in the NFL running
the football, Carson Penny, They're gonna want to establish that.
I know the secondaries are not the best on some
of these sides, right outside of bumping whatever. I think
these teams are gonna want to establish their will see
if they can establish the balance. The same thing I've
been telling you is the key for good teams in
(40:47):
close games all season long. So I'll lean under and
I'll lean Seattle in this game. But I wanted to
explain to people and and and um, Danny is venture around?
Do we have anybody aroun? Because I got away that
I'm playing this game and I'm gonna combine. If anybody's around,
let me know, bring them on or put them on,
(41:08):
even put yang on even all right? What I'm gonna
do because this is a very special night. All right,
this is the last night of the Fantasy regular season.
I have two leagues that I'm in. We're based on tonight.
Things will happen. One is in my long time Dynasty
(41:28):
Home league. All right. I am the two time defending
champion my Patreons. You've probably seen me pictures with me
holding this trophy with my name back to back. I
am entering. I entered this week. I was in first
place for a lot. I've been on a two game
losing streak. I entered this week in second place. If
I lose this week, though, I can fall out and
(41:49):
lose my bye, and there's a big difference in the
payouts if I get to buy, you know, for like
the fourth or fifth year in the world. So I
need to win that matchup. I am up by fifty,
but I'm facing Dalvin Cook, so that's no good. But
I have Stefon Diggs, so that's okay. So digs and
up fifteen versus Dalvin Cook. So I know that Cook
(42:13):
needs to have a huge game in order for me
to lose. So what do I do. I look at
the Dalvin Cook prop bets, and I see Dalvin Cook
over under eighty one and a half rushing yards or
a hundred and twenty eight combined yards, and I know
that he's gonna need to hit over in order for
(42:34):
him to beat me and Stefon Diggs and fifteen points.
So I bet the Dalvin Cook prop bets over. It's
called hedging my bet, fantasy and prop bets and another one.
And this is why I wanted Ventra the Pit of
Misery League. I don't know if y'all hear this. And
we talked about g ST League, which by the way,
I'm dominant in. That's the big money expert league that
(42:57):
I played Jim Ross in the playoffs. And you remember that, Danny, Right, Well,
I'm gonna be eleven and two and in first place
in that one. But I digress. Yeah, man, there's big things.
That's that's that could be nice, um. But in this
Pit a Misery League, Danny, with the minute or two
that we have left, I need to win. It's one
of those leagues where like fifth through like ninth place,
(43:19):
everyone was, you know, seven and five or six and
six or whatever. A lot of teams in the middle
that could have made it. And I was in fifth
place going into this last week. If I win, I'm in.
If I lose, I fall right out. Okay, I am winning.
I am facing your boy representing the Goon squad, Chris Ventrum.
(43:39):
I am up on him. I'm up on him by
I believe it's like twelve or over at so points.
He has Hollister left to go. That's it, and as
you know, that's possible. But I think it's only possible
if Hollister gets into the end zone. He's not a
volume catching threat in the Seattle offense. This is a
run heavy offense. It's in my opinion right, So he's
(44:02):
only gonna beat me if Hollister gets a touchdown. I look,
and the prop bet for Hollister to score at any
time touchdown is plus two eighty. That's good money to me.
I'm gonna bet a unit on Hollister to get a
touchdown because if he gets a touchdown, I hit the
prop bet and maybe Venture gets enough points to hop
over me and force me out of the playoffs. But
(44:23):
I hit my prop bet at plus two seventy or
plus two eighty, so I feel all right about that
on balance. Now, if he doesn't score a touchdown. I
think it will be very hard then staring at him
needing to go, you know, like six for sixty five,
and I don't think that happens. Yes, there's a universe
where I lose both. We figured it out in the
pit of misery, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
(44:43):
And that's me doing the cross sport cross platform heads special.
That's what it is. So in any event, guys, thank
you to the Status over Beat cipher. I hope you
guys make your playoffs all right, hit me up with
screenshots your matchups. Thursday, we'll be right at it. We
had to Thanksgiving kind of holiday break off. Thursday will
be right back at it. I'll do a full segment
(45:06):
guys of calling in and answering your questions to get
your SIDS starts going for the playoffs. We will open
up the phone Danny on Thursday for a full segment
for all your sitting and starts, and we'll try to
figure that out so we can keep it rolling. But
thanks to Henry Henderson who said he's making the league
be a playoffs because of my advice, people like John G. Dexter,
(45:26):
strong style and the stats over Beat cipher. I am
live in multiple playoffs. Especially We'll see what happens on
Monday Night football Eileen Seattle, Eileen Under and we'll see
what Hollis Stir and Cook could do. I'll be back
hopefully y'all are in the playoffs. I know. I am Dilley. Dilley.
The Sports Grid holiday party is about to pop off.
(45:46):
You know what it is? Yeah, do sabe. I'm out.
I gotta finish this first beer and have some mothers.
That sports Grid is apparently paying for me, and I'm
thankful for that. We'll be back Fantasy playoffs on Thursday.

(46:38):
missed on Fantasy Freestyle. This is a big night for
a lot of people. Okay, it is Week thirteen, Monday
Night football. We got Vikings Seahawks about to kick off
in like an hour, hour and a half. But that's
not why it's huge for a lot of people. There
are a lot of people were depending on what happens tonight,
(47:01):
they will either make their fantasy playoffs or not. They
will get a buy or not, depending on the kind
of payouts of your league, depending on the dynasty settings
of your league. A lot of stuff is going to
get decided tonight. So I want to proactively wish the
(47:22):
Status over beat Cipher everything possible, Dilly dilly, that you
get the seating, the money, you want to win your
leagues and win neck cash. Let's get into it though.
Um we usually start with the injuries and this will
be nothing else because most people in the Status will
beat Cipher have to worry about this because they're playing
either next week or in week fifteen. Alright, So t J.
(47:43):
Hockenson to the I R. Okay, Yeah, not a bad
rookie season, and I don't usually like tight ends in
the rookie season, but he did well. Something to build
off of. Okay, they also say they're gonna keep Matt
Stafford active because you know, they have quote unquote respect
for his competitiveness. He shut down people, all right, plan accordingly,
Um Darryl Williams in Kansas City that Hammy he got
shot by a sniper or something early in about second
(48:05):
third quarter of that game. This is gonna be very
interesting between Shady McCoy, Darwin Thompson, maybe a returning Damian Williams.
This is one of the very few spots to still watch. Okay,
as you move forward into your fantasy playoffs. Caitlin Blage
went down to look bad. They carted him off. That's
not left to like, you know, Patrick Laird and Miles Gaskin.
I'm not so sure that's a situation you want to watch.
Um greg Olsen went down with a concussion, right, so
(48:28):
maybe you need a waiver tight end. We'll give you
one or two, all right, and we'll do it like
we do on Mondays. All Right, what Speed's got right,
what Speed's got wrong? The biggest takeaways that you could
parlay forward and then we will look to the waiver wire.
You never know, maybe you lost some of these guys. Right, um,
maybe you have something really bad like depth chart issues.
All right, so we're gonna try to find every little
(48:49):
nugget to fight off the fugazies for you to win
your leagues and win neck cash. Also moving forward to Chester,
Rodgers went down with a knee. Uh Zack Pascal maybe.
Oh and by the way, Doyle rules my man Frank
Stanfeld of the BFS, he knows that I was all
over that on Sunday morning. I told you that in
the waiver why I picked up. Hopefully that worked out
for you as well. If you look forward though, Austin
(49:09):
Hooper backpracticing coming off an m CL he may be available.
Some wide receivers may get activated off I R John
Ross and Cincinnati, Devin Funchius in Indianapolis. Oh and by
the way, the Jags are going back to Gardner Minshew.
He is going to start week fourteen. Be sure to
