00:00But I do think the dynasty question has to be asked on John Mechie, who finally is playing

00:07and playing a little bit more for the Houston Texans coming out of the University of Alabama.

00:11People forget how good Mechie was at Alabama.

00:14He was fantastic.

00:15He did score a touchdown for the first time this past week.

00:18George, I think as time goes on, he's going to get more involved in the offense.

00:20He's a nice stash, I think, in dynasty for me, but it would be hard to start him, though.

00:25I like what you're saying there.

00:26Yeah, I like Mechie.

00:27I do.

00:28I think you need Niko Collins to play Monday night, all right?

00:30Now you got Collins, you got Dell.

00:32It should be a heavy Joe Mixon game.

00:34Dallas can't stop the run, or at least has a lot of trouble stopping the run.

00:37So how much Mechie are we going to get here?

00:39He's probably going to be touchdown dependent.

00:40I think he'll have some catches, but to have that 12 to 15 point day, you probably need

00:45a touchdown.

00:46Which, hey, maybe Houston will blow out Dallas at home like everybody else does.

00:49So a good chance for it.

00:50I like the player, just not so sure the situation is great now.

00:54If Collins is inactive for any reason, and I don't expect that, by the way, I do expect

00:57Collins to play.

00:58Over here, he's only going to play 20 to 25 snaps.

01:00I am much more interested in Mechie.

01:03You know, I think Aaron Jones is probably going to play this week, but I think if you

01:06have Aaron Jones, you may want to grab Cam Akers for this week.

01:09Akers is seeing like 20% of the share in terms of targets and rushing.

01:15It's not really doing a ton, George, but it's like live body NFL running back, kind of got

01:21to have him.

01:22Jones missed some practice time this week.

01:25I mean, I'm in a desperate situation in one league.

01:26I got to start him, but I can't recommend it.

01:29But if you have Jones, I think you have to.

01:32Jones had a chest injury.

01:33He was taken off the injury report yesterday, so he should be good to go.

01:36So you don't want to start Akers over Jones.

01:38I think if you're grabbing Akers, you're doing it in case Jones gets hurt again, which he's

01:42gotten hurt several times this year.

01:43He seems to be a ticking time bomb where that injury is coming, so I don't mind holding

01:46on to Akers.

01:47Once again, I should say you're hoping for an injury, but you're covering yourself in

01:51case of one.

01:52So if you're not starting Akers over Jones this week, Jones should be good to go.

01:56I know Sam Donaldson can get going, maybe we'll get some fantasy points out of the Vikings.
