00:00What happened to Sam Darnold?

00:02What happened, George?

00:03Sam Darnold was going so good for a long time.

00:06I mean, they're still winning games in spite of this guy.

00:09You know, last week, I was on, you know,

00:11I think I was on social media at the time.

00:13People were like, oh, maybe time, you know,

00:14Sam Darnold, that's the end.

00:17I mean, George, I'm here to tell you,

00:18if the Vikings' defense was not as good as it is,

00:21I think that they would bench him already.

00:22He's 6,100 this week.

00:27This is like a sell for me, man.

00:29Like, I mean, are there five worse quarterbacks

00:33in fantasy to play this week?

00:35Like, I am playing Drake May over him.

00:37I am gonna take a shot with Caleb Williams over him.

00:40I am not playing Sam Darnold

00:43until I see him return to week one, two, three,

00:45four, five, six, seven, Sam Darnold.

00:48And I don't know if he will until next year

00:51when he's with a new team in weeks one, two,

00:52three, four, five, six, seven,

00:54because that's what he does.

00:55He's very good in the beginning of the year.

00:57Then he trails off.

00:58He's also very good during the scripted plays.

01:00If you watch his Minnesota games,

01:02those scripted plays, the first 15 plays of the game

01:04where he's been practicing them all week,

01:06he's very good at them.

01:07And then the rest of the game, he struggles.

01:09He's also making Justin Jefferson struggle,

01:11so that's annoying as well.

01:12Now, he's an easy sell here.

01:14I mean, there's no way,

01:16unless you just wanna be contrarian

01:17and hope this is gonna go out

01:18because no one's gonna start him this week,

01:19but he's gonna have the big game.

01:20It's against Tennessee, but it's in Tennessee.

01:22And Jacksonville, by the way, is horrendous on defense.

01:25That's why they're secondary.

01:26He couldn't do anything last week.

01:28Tennessee, they may not be the 86 Bears,

01:30but they're a better defense here.

01:32It's at home in Tennessee.

01:33No, I'm not starting Sam Doll.

01:34I can't do it.

01:35I need to see something from him for me first.

01:38I don't wanna start with one quarterback leagues,

01:39more or less, at the contest.

01:41Yeah, same could be said, I'm sorry,

01:43for Javante Williams, the hope.

01:46I mean, Javante Williams did have his one moment in the sun.

01:48Was it a Thursday night game this year

01:49where he scored two touchdowns?

01:525,700 this week on DraftKings.

01:55Like, give me Ramondre Stevenson.

01:58Give me Kareem Hunt.

02:00I'm selling this.

02:01I'm just selling this.

02:02By the way, I think Atlanta's gonna beat Denver.

02:04Just wanna say that here on the show.

02:05I think Atlanta's gonna win this game.

02:08I think Denver's gonna win, by the way.

02:10But I wouldn't bet on it, by the way.

02:11I think it's gonna be a close game.

02:13I think it's gonna be a close game.

02:16I like the way the Falcons are playing.

02:17I just don't.

02:18That being said, as far as the Denver running situation,

02:21I mean, do we have a three-headed monster there?

02:23Are we going with the committee guy, the hot guy?

02:26No, I'm staying away from all of these guys.

02:27This is another sell for me here.

02:28I think Javante was okay in the beginning of the season,

02:32where maybe he could have taken the job and ran here,

02:34but he just hasn't done all that much with it here.

02:36I do wonder if they're gonna give my Estemi, SDU,

02:39if they're gonna give Audrick a chance to run with it.

02:42You know, that's why I'm, and I told you that league,

02:44it's either I'm gonna either take Audrick or Algier.

02:47I'm probably leaning towards Audrick

02:48going for the higher upside,

02:49because I do wonder if he could be that guy this week,

02:51where he's gonna be the number one running back.

02:52We'll get number one chances.

02:54We'll see what he does with it here.

02:55But Javante, no thanks.

02:58I'm selling him that stadium.
