Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

And I am extremely pleased to announce the return of the Purple Insider Fantasy Shope with Mike Shope, WGR 550.

Also ADP chasing now doing a lot of fantasy stuff on your side, Mike.

And we are going to dive into lots of projections, storylines, and then reactions to stuff that's

happening. So let's break down the whole preseason slate. i'm just kidding but uh obviously on our first

episode back we need to talk about projecting minnesota vikings players which i can add context

you can add fantasy context it's going to be great and then there's a lot of other things going on

in the nfl that we want to dive into. So welcome back,

Mike Show. I am very excited to be back. I enjoyed our time together last year very much.

And as we go into 2025, football-wise, the Vikings are one of the more interesting puzzles to

figure out in the NFL. You've got an ambiguous backfield,

which in fantasy can be a big win if you call it right or a big loss. I mean, it's a tricky one

a little bit in Minnesota, unlike certain teams that are more definitive, Justin Jefferson

sitting out, Jordan Addison suspended, and what is J.J.

McCarthy? There's a lot to try to, you know, nail down here. Okay. Well, since it's, I mean,

it's your fantasy show here, presented by our friends at Fanduil this year, by the way,

um, where do you want to start? Like, what is on your mind number one? Like you just named a bunch of stuff

that is relevant to the Minnesota Vikings,

but what is the most interesting angle

that you and your fantasy community

is most talking about when it comes to the Vikings?

It's probably best to start at the top.
