00:00
All right.
00:03
So now let's move on to Aaron Jones of the Minnesota Vikings.
00:06
I had nothing else to add.
00:07
Sorry, you know, what's interesting is boy, was I wrong?
00:09
Cam Akers is actually like a pretty decent part of this offense,
00:13
George, but Aaron Jones is a must play.
00:15
Do we need to spend more than 10 seconds on this guy?
00:17
I mean, he's got a start for you.
00:19
You're not going to have better options than this.
00:21
Yeah, if you got better options than Jones, God bless you.
00:23
All right, you're doing well.
00:25
He's a start for me.
00:26
Akers, probably not this week because they're playing Chicago.
00:29
That's a tough defense there.
00:30
He's playing a lot.
00:31
He is.
00:32
He is a flex option.
00:34
Listen, if you're crushed, once again, six teams on by.
00:36
If you're crushed, I'm not yelling at you for starting Akers.
00:39
I'm not.
00:39
I think Minnesota wins the game, scores some touchdowns here.
00:41
Maybe you get lucky and he gets one, so I can see that.
00:45
All right, Debo Samuel.
00:46
This has been a tough one for me.
00:48
I just keep playing him all year, waiting for something to happen.
00:51
You know, look, Debo two years ago was, I think, the MVP of fantasy football
00:54
based on where he was drafted in the results and then a little step back
00:57
last year.
00:59
49ers just not playing well, but like, like, here's a scenario that I
01:04
could play out for you, George.
01:06
Would you start, because I have this option, would you start Jamison
01:09
Williams over Debo Samuel?
01:11
Like that, that would be my option.
01:14
Right now?
01:14
Yeah, I would.
01:16
I, it's sad.
01:17
I don't think it's close to me.
01:18
We do expect Detroit to score a whole bunch of touchdowns.
01:21
One could be a big one to Jamison.
01:22
That's all you need, the one big one.
01:24
All right, and the kicker might be, remember, Brock Purdy.
01:28
He's got the shoulder injury in there.
01:29
I don't think the Niners know if he's going to play.
01:31
And if you don't play, by the way, that's, was it Allen, Brandon
01:34
Allen, quarterbacking?
01:36
Yeah, you want no part of anybody on San Fran other than maybe Christian
01:39
McCaffrey in that case here.
01:40
So that's another situation to keep an eye on.
01:42
But yeah, I would start Jamison Williams.
01:45
I don't even think it'd be a second thought.
01:47
Even if I knew Purdy was going to play, I think I would still start Jamison
01:50
Williams over Debo Samuel.
01:51
I think I would.
01:52
I think he's going to get that big one again.
01:55
All right.
01:56
Hope so, George.
01:57
The big one.
01:59
Jayden Reed of the Green Bay Packers this week is another coin flip
02:03
Packer wide receiver game.
02:05
In a really fun game, by the way, I think coming up this week, but I
02:10
can't predict which Packers wide receiver week to week is going to
02:13
do anything.
02:14
So it's a stored antecedent for me.
02:16
It's a coin flip.
02:17
You got a coin?
02:17
Flip it.
02:19
I agree.
02:20
I said it earlier in the show.
02:21
Lawson, Reed, Wick, Stobbs.
02:23
You just don't know which one week in, week out is going to be that
02:26
guy.
02:26
It's frustrating looking to see what I want to see what the weather
02:29
is in Green Bay.
02:30
Chance of rain.
02:32
It's like about 43 degrees at game time there.
02:36
You always worry about that in Green Bay.
02:37
We'll live with that.
02:38
You probably have to because once again, six teams on by and Reed is
02:42
probably the guy I want first out of that group.
02:44
I just mentioned here.
02:45
So I'm going to say you probably have to start them, but I wouldn't be
02:48
thrilled about it.
02:49
Yeah, I wouldn't either.
02:50
All right, Tank Dell real quick, you know, Tank Dell basically playing
02:54
the role of Stephon Diggs at this point.
02:58
Didn't do a ton last week.
02:59
Nico Collins, by the way, didn't do a ton either, but Houston ended up
03:03
finding a way to win pretty dependent on a Jamison Williams type game,
03:07
right, George?
03:08
Like a 50-yard touchdown or so because other than that, what is Tank Dell
03:10
doing?
03:10
Four catches, 30 yards, four yards.
03:13
We could have put CJ Stroud on this list.
03:15
I wouldn't want Stroud not doing it for fantasy for a guy who was straight
03:18
after the top five, top six quarterback overall here.
03:21
Tank Dell, always the same thing as I said with the Reed here.
03:24
You probably have to, you know, but I wouldn't want to because you just
03:27
said it unless he gets that big play and they're not hitting him like Jamison
03:30
Williams is, right?
03:31
They're just not scoring those kind of points here.
03:32
You're probably not gonna be happy with your fantasy day.
03:34
You may have to, but I would once again, I'd rather not start Tank Dell.
