00:00All right, Texans Vikings. Let's get to the Texans here because it's trending toward Joe

00:07Mixon not playing. Damian Pierce, who was the starting running back for the Texans last

00:13season, was a fantasy sleeper and a lot of leagues was not. And he is out again this

00:16week too. So Houston turns to Cam Akers. I would also say, George, call me crazy, DFS,

00:2614-team league sleeper leagues, Daray Ogbunwale. Remember that guy? I don't even know. Did

00:32I get his name right? Ogbunwale? I don't even know. Did I get it right? Am I close? Okay,

00:37good. Sam said I got it. Good enough for me. He is the backup to Akers. I don't know, man.

00:45I'm just saying Cam Akers, three carries, five yards. Could we see some mix up there

00:51for Minnesota? It's pretty clear cut. We talked about the quarterback. You know, obviously

00:56at this point, you know, well, you know, actually the running backs a little banged up. Aaron

01:00Jones with Minnesota as well. But I think we go in with a clear head here, but clear

01:05up the running back situation with Houston for me. You want Akers? He's the guy you want.

01:11I'm not going to go. And by the way, I applaud you for going at that name for you. Daray

01:16O. That's right. He's Daray O. Ogbunwale. Boy, some of these names and I'm a hockey

01:21guy, right? Who has to pronounce some of those Eastern European names. That's a lot of fun.

01:25And I'd usually give up on that as well here. So Akers is the guy you want for your running

01:30back here. I think he's going to get a majority of the carries here.

01:33Why do you just look at the team and you see his name and you're like, come on, go deeper,

01:37George. You can do this. It doesn't have to be Cam Akers.

01:40I can throw names out there for you. Akers is a decent running back. He's never done

01:48anything. Akers is going to be fine. Why not just go take British Brooks? All right. He's

01:55the third string guy. Go for it. Okay. That's what I'm saying. Dive deep. Don't take British

02:01Brooks. That's a joke. Okay. Take Akers if you need a running back here. He'll be a good

02:06running back too for you this week. Rickson was having a great season. No one, Minnesota's

02:11not playing the running game. All right. They're going to try and stop Dell, try and stop Collins,

02:16try and stop digs. Good luck. And by the way, speaking of tight ends, Dalton Schultz, try

02:21and do better than him too. He's doing nothing. He's going to start him this week. If Kittle's

02:26out. I just don't think there's no balls to go around. He's an afterthought. You know,

02:30now that digs is there. There's just not enough balls to go around. I have Schultz in a couple

02:33of leagues killing me.
