<v Speaker 1>You found Fantasy Football Weekly Micro a deep dive on

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>one player in just five to ten minutes. Now here's

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>your host, Paul charge Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly Micro edition.

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I am Paul Chargi and my co host, as he

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>has been for eight previous Fantasy Football Weekly micro's, is

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Gaillotine Leagues dot Com writer Tyler Knabiley. Hopefully we can

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>keep it up, make it like forty five or forty six,

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that would be good. I mean, the goal is to

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>do it all summer and up until the season starts,

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and then we get into our regular Fantasy Football Weekly routine.

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's the goal, and we'll keep looking for interesting guys.

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>We encourage you to give us ideas for who you'd

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>like to hear about. You can do that on Twitter.

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm at Paul Chargy and Tyler is at Tyler knaveilely

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>K and a E. B L E. Tyler Knabiley. Who

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>would you like to hear about? One of the players

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about this week came from a listener

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>commendation by a Twitter I won't say who yet, and

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not this guy today. We're talking about t Jay Hawkinson. Yeah,

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.559
<v Speaker 1>major kind of upgrade from where he was being drafted

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.479
<v Speaker 1>last year to where he's currently going off the board

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>as the tight end three. So last year he was

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>he finished as the tight end four and average points

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>per game now going into the tight end three, and

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I think you kind of just have to look at that.

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>After he got to Minnesota, he really just took off

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>in a way that he never really felt like he

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>did with the Lions. He was first in targets and

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>red zone targets among tight ends over from weeks nine

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>to seventeen when he started to the Vikings, so over

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that span, first in receptions, second in yards, and he

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>was the Titan two in that half. That's almost half

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the season, So that's a pretty That is a big

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>sample size. And the fact that he hit the ground

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>running in this offense what he had been on the

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>team for like four days in his first game in

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and was an immediate impact. They took it clearly

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>his skill set was a fit for the offense with

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings. I think there's also a room to grow here.

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he only has three touchdowns with the Vikings,

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and that number I think we could see definitely go

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>up a number. I think we can also see go

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>up is going to be that target share number. Here's

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a twenty three point four percent on the Vikings he

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>trailed only Kelsey and Andrews and Theelan and Irv Smith

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>are gone. Now that's gonna that. It leaves one hundred

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 1>and forty three vacated targets, So that's another twenty two

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>percent of the entire team target share that opens up. Yea,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna get a lot more work of

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and where the Vikings are right now pre draft, there's

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>not another receiver that's gonna eat up a lot of

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>those hundred and forty three vacated shares. kJ Osbourne's gonna

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>get more, but they don't have anybody else in the

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver department that's gonna help that way, you mentioned

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the touchdown number could go up. I want to drill

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>down on that for a minute. Here he is number

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>one in red zone targets while with the Vikings and

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>he only scored three times. It suggests that if he

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>can be if he's going to be number one in

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>red zone targets again for the Vikings among all tight ends,

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that three touchdown number is going to go up. And

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the reasons he was probably the

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>most targeted, like you said, tight end in the red zones,

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're gonna be double in Justin Jefferson, like everybody knows,

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of their first option. So I think TJ

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>really exploited a lot of kind of one on one

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.119
<v Speaker 1>matchups down in the red zone, where he's been pretty good.

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Like he is a big body, very athletic guy. I

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>mean we've seen him do a couple have a couple

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of players with the Vikes. I think it was in

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that uh was the Giants game, not the playoff game,

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>but in the regular season game. Yeah, nice red zone

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>touchdown there. But I really like Hockinson this year. I mean,

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna have the best statistical season of

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>his career this year. Like you said, probably, I think

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>he's the number two receiving option on this team. Well,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>currently current ADP is tight end three. Yeah, so it's

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a bit of a big price, it is, You're

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>not there's no discount on TJ Hockinson at this time.

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people feel like that's probably going to happen.

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>There's there is also reason to like or I think

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>be interested in the fact that long term, this is

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>his last year pending contract, right, so if he plays

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>this out, this is a contract year for t J.

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Hopkinson for those that believe in that. But also note

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>this is Kirk's last year. Let's just talk Dynasty and

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Empire leagues for a minute. Do you believe the Dynasty

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Empire value is about what his current ADPs is? He

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>roughly tight end three in your mind as you if

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you put on just a focus for Dynasty, not for Dynasty.

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, just because I mean, he is

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>on the younger side, but we have no clue what

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>his situation is going to look like after this year. Now,

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're winning out team and you're looking for a

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>solid tight end, a really good tight end to kind

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of win you a championship this year, like maybe you're

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>in that year or two where you won the previous year.

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Now you need to win back to back years. That's

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Empire yea, yeah exactly. TJA Hodginson I think is going

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a great player to go out and trade

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>for that. But if you're looking long term, I think

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather have a guy like Kyle Pitts. Maybe maybe

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't. I better have Kyle Pitts, guy like Dallas Goddard.

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I think George Kittle, those guys who I kind of

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>know what their situation is going to be going forward

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>somewhat more than I think I can say with Hawkinson. Well,

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the funny thing about Andrews Kittle Pits was their quarterback. Yeah, well, right,

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>in terms of George, if you don't have a quarterback

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>of the future on any of those teams yet, or

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>at least a sure one, the only person that matters

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to me for George Kittle is College Shanahan. That's all

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>that matters for me. That helps yep. Yeah, um, and

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>those guys are I think all of these players are

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty special athletes, Andrew's Kittle Pits and t. J. Hawkinson.

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Goddard might be the safest side of this whole

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>group just because of the offense he plays in the

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>quarterback that he's got. You know, I think there's there's

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>still a lot to like about Dallas Goddard. So to me,

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that does make that does make some sense. Would you

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>rather have let's play the would you rather have game?

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it? Okay, I'll let I'll let you, I'll

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>let you lead. Okay, so you want me to ask

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 1>you sure? All right, Mark Andrews current going, would you

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>take Mark Andrews over TJ. Mark Andrews is tied in two.

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Given that I assume that an unhappy Mark Jackson is

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be his quarterback this year, I think Ako Hockinson. Okay,

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>George Kittle, factoring in all the injury stuff that you

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>have to go through with George Kittle, knowing that he's

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna miss three games out of the year and he's

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna be questionable rolling into Sunday three more times, I

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>think i'd rather Hotkinson. Okay, I'm gonna say Kyle Pitts,

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>but I think you know where I'm going. I'm not

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>on I'm not doing Pits, you are. I tweeted a

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>video yesterday. Remember I'm not trying to make this buck

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Pits, but it was a video about it was

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>literally all of the targets Mariota through to him, and

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>it was just atrocious. Like miss after it was I

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>cried after watching it, it was Okay, is just quarterbacking

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>any better? Now? There's no way it can be worse?

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>So yes, okay, okay, sorry about Kyle Pits. Dallas Goddard. See,

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I love Goddard, so it was the show was on

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Goddard all last offseason. We were on the Eagles all

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>last offseason, and I'm sticking. I'm sticking with Goddard because

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I love the offense and I love the opportunity there.

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>So Goddard is currently going in tight and six right now,

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that's wrong. Okay. Now, granted, that's a run

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>heavy team and near the stripe, you know that they're

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>they're going to run a lot up close, and actually

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>were him touch on that on a Future Fantasy Football

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Weekly micro later this week. But I still just like

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the overall potential of Dallas Goddard in that in that

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>offense so much. He just feels so safe. I agree

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>with you. I'm huge on Godded this year. I think

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing a lot of Bestball drafts and I

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>think he might be my most drafted tight end just

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>because I think he's you can kind of compare him

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>to the Kittle Hits, Yeah Hawkinson era, and you're getting

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>him of the cheapest costs. So I'm huge on Godded

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>right now. All Right, So I think you and I

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>are kind of on lotstuff. We both think that the

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>current ADP for tj Hodkinson tight end three, it's about right. Yeah,

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it's about right now. I'm fine taking him there too,

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 1>like I've taken there a lot of time. So yep.

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>And in Dynasty, you might want to see if you're

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>not playing to win the right now this year, you

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>might want to see what you can get for T.

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>J Hodkinson sitting on potentially a very good year, but

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>with all of the unknowns both in Minnesota and where

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>he may end up next year, which could be somebody

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>someplace else. Yeah, you know, for all we know he's
