| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider. |
| 0:09.6 | This is the Purple Insider Fantasy Shope with Mike Shope from WGR 550 and ADP chasing. |
| 0:16.7 | And as always, the show presented by Fandul. |
| 0:19.9 | And Mike, I think our friends at Fandul aren't really sure what to do with Vikings |
| 0:24.8 | and Eagles at the moment because of the quarterback situation. |
| 0:28.3 | We are feeling quite confident that it will be Carson Wentz at quarterback. |
| 0:33.9 | And I think if you are a fantasy player, that that is much better for you, if you are |
| 0:39.8 | an owner of Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison or T.J. Hawkinson, because he has leaned |
| 0:45.8 | heavily on the weapons. If you're a fan of the Vikings and you wanted to see J.J. McCarthy, |
| 0:51.1 | you're sad. So that's kind of where we're at. Well, I wouldn't necessarily tab you as a fan of the Vikings, |

| 1:18.0 | We still don't really know what McCarthy can be for any of this. |
| 1:22.8 | But, you know, yeah, when they sat McCarthy, the way they did it, immediately after a loss, like, |
| 1:30.4 | okay, no, he's injured. And we're going to go to Europe for two weeks. Like, we're going to take a |
| 1:34.5 | year off or something and go to Europe and ride our bikes. I mean, it felt like maybe Wentz was |
| 1:40.3 | relatively safe to play for the long term. but then Europe went the way it went, |
| 1:45.6 | and that wasn't so much of a sure thing. |
| 1:49.6 | So, yeah, I guess I still want to have some hope that when McCarthy gets in, which is inevitable, |
| 1:57.0 | that it'll work out for the past catchers. |
