Well, it's part two of the week 16 preview here on the audible Vikings and Giants could be exciting for like future J.J. McCarthy versus Jackson Dart type stuff.

0:12.9

I don't know how exciting it is now, Bloom, and fantasy jams are like, what the hell do I do with Justin Jefferson?

0:17.9

Is that what you guys were talking about on the couch this week?

0:20.3

Among other things. We led with that. And you're right, Cease, with J.J. McCarthy,

0:25.9

hopefully a little more freewheeling now that he's got some confidence. And we know that Jackson

0:31.2

Darts freewheeling. So when we have two teams that are going nowhere at this time of year,

0:35.0

sometimes we can get some offensive games.

0:38.5

Now, on the Minnesota side, we should expect a strong offensive game.

0:41.7

McCarthy and two quarterback super flex, I think you're trying to find a way to get him in your lineup.

0:46.0

And he's at least depending on your other choices.

0:48.1

Like if someone said, I'm starting JJ McCarthy over Matthew Stafford, am I crazy?

0:53.2

So you're not crazy.

0:54.8

I think Aaron Jones is also at least a what the heck flex this week because the Giants run

1:00.1

defense has been poor.

1:02.1

Aaron Jones is still the lead back.

1:03.6

You can also get involved as a receiver.

1:05.4

Even Jordan Mason is a deep what the heck flex if Minnesota can control this game.

1:09.8

Now, when you look at the passing game and at some some point you just can't argue with it. McCarthy and Jefferson aren't on the same page. McCarthy can hit Jordan Addison downfield. T.J. Hawkinson looks pretty good. Jalen Naylor. I mean, if somebody said, I'm playing Jalen Naylor over Justin Jefferson, I can't, as a fantasy expert, tell you to do that, but I know there's a high probability that Naylor's going to outscore Jefferson. So, you know, I'm looking at Jefferson and Jalen Coker against Tampa. And my brain is saying, Jalen Coker has a much better chance of a ceiling game. Because why should we expect Justin Jefferson and J.J. McCarthy to get it right this week,

1:45.5

just because it's the Giants.

1:47.4

So Addison is a what the heck flex, Nailer, a deep what heck flex, Hawkinson, a deep, what the heck, tight end.

1:53.1

But I also think this is a game we're going to see McCarthy throw the ball 22, 23 times,

1:57.3

and maybe 30 carries for the running backs because the giant's defense is not good
