Speaker 1: You found Fantasy Football Weekly Micro a deep dive on
Speaker 1: one player in just five to ten minutes. Now, here's
Speaker 1: your host, Paul Chargian. Welcome to today's edition a Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly Micro edition. I am Paul Charchie and my co
Speaker 1: host as he has been for all of the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly micros. Tyler Cannabily.
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm trying to hold off Brian and the rest
Speaker 2: of their crew for as long.
Speaker 1: As I know they're getting Nancy. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 1: Feedback's been all good. We appreciate everybody who's reached out
Speaker 1: with players suggestions on Twitter at Paul Charchi. In an
Speaker 1: at Tyler canby k n A e b l E
Speaker 1: k n A e b l E. If there are
Speaker 1: players you'd like to hear us break down do a
Speaker 1: deep dive on, let us know, Tyler, who are we
Speaker 1: starting with today?
Speaker 2: Star little wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, Christian Watson, rookie,
Speaker 2: kind of really good rookie. Last year he finishes the
Speaker 2: wide receiver thirty three, but it was kind of the
Speaker 2: last half of the season, which you're really were kind
Speaker 2: of in tune with his ADP right now is wide
Speaker 2: receiver twenty three, and much like the player we had
Speaker 2: last week. He's kind of a tale of two halves.
Speaker 2: He's got. Weeks one through nine, he averaged one catch
Speaker 2: for nine point seven yards and one touchdown.
Speaker 1: It was a rushing touchdown, and then he dropped that
Speaker 1: opening that opening season bomb touchdown. That was that I
Speaker 1: think haunted haunted Packer fans for quite a while. But
Speaker 1: you know, he could have had another touchdown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he started this season off really rough,
Speaker 2: and you hear Rogers talk about it, and because some
Speaker 2: of those Pat McAfee interviews, he's like he kind of struggling.
Speaker 2: Then after that Cowboy game, the kind of the floodgates
Speaker 2: really opened for him. He averaged after that game, which
Speaker 2: was in Week ten, he averaged three point seven catches
Speaker 2: sixty yards, but he had eight total touchdowns, which is crazy.
Speaker 2: All those came. Those eight total touchdowns came in a
Speaker 2: four game span.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wasn't it two to two to two and two?
Speaker 2: I think it was three to two. Something like one
Speaker 2: to one I think is what it was. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: still insane because he was the wide receiver nine in that.
Speaker 1: Span to carry the one divide vices.
Speaker 2: I think he had three in the Dallas game for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, Yeah, Now, in fairness to Watson,
Speaker 1: he was hurt through most of that first half of
Speaker 1: the season. Yes, so you know, it wasn't like he
Speaker 1: was out there and just not performing. Mostly he wasn't
Speaker 1: even on the field in the first half of the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I'm a little weary because I mean,
Speaker 2: you mentioned the injury. But when he was healthy, like
Speaker 2: we saw the touchdowns. Everyone knows that he was scoring touchdowns.
Speaker 2: But outside of that, he didn't give you a lot
Speaker 2: of kind of the volume you hope to see in
Speaker 2: the passing game. He only had two games with five
Speaker 2: plus receptions throughout the whole season. He never had a
Speaker 2: game with more than six, zero games with double digit targets,
Speaker 2: and he had a eleven point seventeen target share. Romeo
Speaker 2: Dobbs and Robert Tunnian were at eleven point nine percent,
Speaker 2: So they saw.
Speaker 1: Robert Tunyan and Romeo dubbed Dobbs, who did like nothing
Speaker 1: all season, Yes, had a higher percentage team target share.
Speaker 1: M That doesn't make you feel great.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make you feel great at all, and especially
Speaker 2: and it would be one thing if maybe you saw
Speaker 2: the production in college or kind of you've seen it
Speaker 2: before it because right wide receiver twenty three is a
Speaker 2: steep price to pay for. You're like, that's a quality receiver,
Speaker 2: probably a fourth or fifth round pick for you. So
Speaker 2: he only had like the most targets he ever had
Speaker 2: in college or the pros NDSU has high was forty three,
Speaker 2: and that gets targets, yes, targets target or no catch starr.
Speaker 2: It was it was receptions that no, yeah, and NDCU
Speaker 2: the most he was forty three. And that's not that's
Speaker 2: not like he's playing the SEC or the Big ten.
Speaker 2: He's playing an NDSU.
Speaker 1: NBSU is a really good Division two program, but they're.
Speaker 2: Not in the No. Yeah, that fbs correct.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's let's talk about where he can
Speaker 1: go from rookie season to sophomore season because obviously, at
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty three, people are counting on him to
Speaker 1: have more production. The touchdowns are great, but if you're
Speaker 1: only gonna have three four receptions a game, no way
Speaker 1: does that touchdown productivity hold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he's gonna definitely have to step up just
Speaker 2: from a pure volume, because we've seen the touchdowns. We
Speaker 2: know what he is in the red zone. We know
Speaker 2: what he can be used, kind of a as a
Speaker 2: down the field sort of option super fast. I just
Speaker 2: have questions whether or not he's going to be because
Speaker 2: he's being drafted like he is the one in this
Speaker 2: offense right now. And to say that he is, to
Speaker 2: say the Packers don't draft a Smith and Jigba or
Speaker 2: like one of those elite pass catching tit ends like
Speaker 2: a Mayor or a Dalton Kincaid. That's really going to
Speaker 2: cut into his already low team targets. Yeare I mean
Speaker 2: he was fighting with anybody for targets last season? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody right was running unopposed. Basically, yes, Alan Lazard
Speaker 1: did nothing. The team let him walk this year.
Speaker 2: You also have to think about the whole Jordan Love
Speaker 2: aspects of this too, because we truly have just zero
Speaker 2: idea how good or how bad Jordan Love will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we think we know a little bit about Jordan Love,
Speaker 1: but not a lot. So I thought it would be
Speaker 1: worth He's to go back to his one career start,
Speaker 1: and he's had one. It was against the Chiefs, it
Speaker 1: was two seasons ago, and so I went back and
Speaker 1: rewatched every one of his passes. From that game. What
Speaker 1: a freaking disaster. I did not remember it being so bad.
Speaker 1: So the team got they got shut out through the
Speaker 1: first fifty five minutes of the game, and wow, Jordan
Speaker 1: Love was awful. His technique looked so shaky. Now again,
Speaker 1: this is two years ago, right, so you know, take
Speaker 1: over a grain of salt. He improvised when he didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily have to. His passes were not accurate. He threw
Speaker 1: into coverage constantly. I mean, just really bad decision making.
Speaker 1: He was mostly a one read passer. He would stare
Speaker 1: down a guy and then covered or not. Here comes
Speaker 1: the ball. Now. A lot of times those guys were
Speaker 1: Demonta Adams, who bailed out some bad passes. And that
Speaker 1: dude battled for some balls in that game, and that
Speaker 1: turned out okay. When he got blitzed, Jordan Love just folded.
Speaker 1: It was. It was way worse than I remember. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, he is a little bit more mobile too,
Speaker 1: so we did see some scrambling from him. You know,
Speaker 1: he's tall, he's kind of lanky, and he's got some
Speaker 1: he does have some running ability. He got forced out
Speaker 1: of the pocket a lot sometimes of his own accord.
Speaker 1: But you know, for whatever it's worth, that one full
Speaker 1: game that we got out of Jordan Love was not
Speaker 1: at all promising.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I also went we re watched the end of
Speaker 2: the Eagles game from last season when the Eagles blew
Speaker 2: out the Packers and they put in Jordan Love at
Speaker 2: the end, which I mean, you can say it was
Speaker 2: a blowout, so maybe the defense wasn't trying. It's hard,
Speaker 2: but I meant, I think he had a couple of
Speaker 2: good passes in there. I remember a long touchdown to
Speaker 2: I think Christian Watson actually, so maybe that can play
Speaker 2: off something. But I'm just not entirely. Like I said,
Speaker 2: we just don't know, because you mentioned the game from
Speaker 2: two years ago. Two years is kind of a long time.
Speaker 2: You can't hopefully improved it that time.
Speaker 1: I hope he's better.
Speaker 2: He had three years to sit behind Aaron Rodgers. Hopefully
Speaker 2: he's better.
Speaker 1: Okay, but this, if you're the Packers and you know
Speaker 1: this Aaron Rodgers drama is not new. If Jordan Love
Speaker 1: looked like an above average NFL quarterback to the Packers,
Speaker 1: they'd already cut that sing with Aaron Rodgers. Would have
Speaker 1: happened last year, you know, not this year. The separation
Speaker 1: would have already happened, I think.
Speaker 2: But I think Rogers one back to back MVP is
Speaker 2: when he when they draft Jordan Love and then it's
Speaker 2: MVP MVP. You can't want You cannot cut an MVP
Speaker 2: quarterback just.
Speaker 1: Because traded him at higher value though, right.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't know, because I think
Speaker 2: at that time, the Packers like, Okay, we still we
Speaker 2: just went to the NFT champion or we got the
Speaker 2: back to back one seed. I think two times we're
Speaker 2: trying to make a run. Rogers are our best chance
Speaker 2: to do that. We still have a Super Bowl winning
Speaker 2: roster probably in their minds, so they're not like they're
Speaker 2: not just gonna, We're gonna like this is probably the
Speaker 2: worst case narrow for the Packers, that Rogers is bad
Speaker 2: and then the whole, the whole thing s blows them
Speaker 2: there force it a it's a monsoon down there in
Speaker 2: Green Bounty, know what to call it. But I think
Speaker 2: that's I just back to Jordan Love. I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's That's the only thing I can land on is
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I'm willing to take a chance
Speaker 2: that I don't know, because that's how you kind of
Speaker 2: get some of these really good values at ADP.
Speaker 1: I would rather pay Jordan Loves ADP than Christian Watson's ADP. Oh,
Speaker 1: for sure loves. Probably I don't have him in front
Speaker 1: of me, probably going off the board his quarterback thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I would rather pay that than gamble on Christian Watson.
Speaker 1: And obviously Christian Watson can only be as good as
Speaker 1: Jordan Love lets him be.
Speaker 2: Let's play the ADP game. Let's play the game. Okay,
Speaker 2: First one, DJ Moore? Why does he for twenty one?
Speaker 1: I will take to prove in Dj Moore, Not not
Speaker 1: that he's ever been flashy, but this is the best
Speaker 1: downfield passer that he's ever going to get paired with
Speaker 1: now in justin fields?
Speaker 2: Okay, Jerry Judy, why does hever? Twenty two?
Speaker 1: You know for the moment, I'm gonna stick with again.
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy is a really good receiver and that offense
Speaker 1: gets better in Denver. I'll stick with Jerry Judy.
Speaker 2: I'm with you. Drake London, why is hever? Twenty four?
Speaker 1: I don't trust Atlanta's quarterbacks?
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, I'm right, Drake, Drake, it
Speaker 2: might be my most drafted wid all right, because I
Speaker 2: at the end of the year with Ritters, he had
Speaker 2: an ungodly amount of targets and receptions. Like he he
Speaker 2: proved that he was a volume guy and he was
Speaker 2: a wae guy in college too. This guy put up
Speaker 2: over I think like twelve touchdowns over a thousand yards
Speaker 2: at college, eighty receptions.
Speaker 1: Super productive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with Drake.
Speaker 1: You kind of selling me, actually, Andrake Christal Watson.
Speaker 2: All Right, Keenan Allen, why does he for twenty five?
Speaker 1: This seems too low. People are just bored of Keenan Allen.
Speaker 1: But he's still a good player. Health, the injuries and stuff,
Speaker 1: I get that. I mean that's you know, that is
Speaker 1: a that's a that's a real area of concern for him.
Speaker 1: So I would, but I'd still take Keenan Allen.
Speaker 2: Speaking of criminally under ranked Christian Kirk, why does he
Speaker 2: for twenty six.
Speaker 1: When he finishes wide receiver nine last year and Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence is just gonna get better? Yeah, that is a
Speaker 1: that's a terrible ranking for him.
Speaker 2: Are you Are you in agreement that Calvin.
Speaker 1: Ridley's gonna come back? Yeah, it's going to eat into someone.
Speaker 1: What Christian Kirk got last year, but still so.
Speaker 2: We're pretty much in agreement that Christian Watson's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got I think there are all these players
Speaker 1: who are going right around Christian Watson. I'd take all
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, yes, what Christian Watson and I just
Speaker 1: don't believe. You gotta have productivity. The touchdowns are great,
Speaker 1: but you can't sustain those kinds of touchdowns on three
Speaker 1: and four receptions a game. I'll do it. And then
Speaker 1: the Jordan Love question mark. So yeah, too much, too
Speaker 1: much risk for my blood, particularly in a format like Guillotine,
Speaker 1: where you know, any any bad game could be your last.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't advocate for Christian Watson any format.
Speaker 1: What do you think in Dynasty? Are you more intrigued
Speaker 1: about Christian Watson in Dynasty because the age and the
Speaker 1: upside trajectory that he could have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I shot on him in Dynasty just
Speaker 2: because he's he's young, and he's you see the talent,
Speaker 2: like you see the frame. You just gotta hope he
Speaker 2: kind of improves on some of those.
Speaker 1: Frames of picket fence. I mean, the dude is tiny.
Speaker 1: Christian Watson, well, he's tall, but he's just so thin
Speaker 1: and lanky.
Speaker 2: Is that true? I think I've seen him. He looks
Speaker 2: kind of big, if.
Speaker 1: You think so, I see a track I see a
Speaker 1: track star playing in pads.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. But he's tall. Though it's tall. I
Speaker 2: feel like he's bigger than t Higgins though I mean
Speaker 2: I is tall, but I feel like he's more built
Speaker 2: to Bill Nagan.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm misremembering, but I don't. I don't see it
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, it's two bad because you know, I
Speaker 1: just watched that whole Jordan Love game, but that was
Speaker 1: two years ago, so I can get to see Christian Watson.
Speaker 2: I'll put it this way. I'm not going out there
Speaker 2: and training for Christian Watson, Like he's not a buye
Speaker 2: for me. But if if I like stumbled my way
Speaker 2: into him, wouldn't be in Dynasty.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, okay, all right, thank you for listening to
Speaker 1: this edition of Fantasy Football Weekly Micro edition. This was
Speaker 1: Christian Watson. We've got a new player coming up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're supposed to say, should we
Speaker 1: say who's coming up next? It's one of my favorite players.

Speaker 1: at this time. Last year. Loved him all off season
Speaker 1: and then all he did was wow me during the
Speaker 1: season last year. We'll talk about Damien Pierce on tomorrow's
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football weekly micro
