Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul, and this is our weekly

0:12.3

Fantasy Shope with Mike Shope, WGR 550 and ADP chasing.

0:18.4

Mike, you know, I think it was last week that I said, I'm kind of just out on everybody from a fantasy

0:25.3

perspective for the Vikings because I just have no idea what anyone's going to do from

0:30.0

here.

0:30.7

And poor Aaron Jones has been playing really well and has not really gotten rewarded for it.
