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 charge Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly Micro edition.
Speaker 1: I am Paul Chargi and my co host, as he
Speaker 1: has been for eight previous Fantasy Football Weekly micro's, is
Speaker 1: Gaillotine Leagues dot Com writer Tyler Knabiley. Hopefully we can
Speaker 1: keep it up, make it like forty five or forty six,
Speaker 1: that would be good. I mean, the goal is to
Speaker 1: do it all summer and up until the season starts,
Speaker 1: and then we get into our regular Fantasy Football Weekly routine.
Speaker 1: And that's the goal, and we'll keep looking for interesting guys.
Speaker 1: We encourage you to give us ideas for who you'd
Speaker 1: like to hear about. You can do that on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I'm at Paul Chargy and Tyler is at Tyler knaveilely
Speaker 1: K and a E. B L E. Tyler Knabiley. Who
Speaker 1: would you like to hear about? One of the players
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this week came from a listener
Speaker 1: commendation by a Twitter I won't say who yet, and
Speaker 1: it's not this guy today. We're talking about t Jay Hawkinson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: major kind of upgrade from where he was being drafted
Speaker 1: last year to where he's currently going off the board
Speaker 1: as the tight end three. So last year he was
Speaker 1: he finished as the tight end four and average points
Speaker 1: per game now going into the tight end three, and
Speaker 1: I think you kind of just have to look at that.
Speaker 1: After he got to Minnesota, he really just took off
Speaker 1: in a way that he never really felt like he
Speaker 1: did with the Lions. He was first in targets and
Speaker 1: red zone targets among tight ends over from weeks nine
Speaker 1: to seventeen when he started to the Vikings, so over
Speaker 1: that span, first in receptions, second in yards, and he
Speaker 1: was the Titan two in that half. That's almost half
Speaker 1: the season, So that's a pretty That is a big
Speaker 1: sample size. And the fact that he hit the ground
Speaker 1: running in this offense what he had been on the
Speaker 1: team for like four days in his first game in
Speaker 1: Minnesota and was an immediate impact. They took it clearly
Speaker 1: his skill set was a fit for the offense with
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I think there's also a room to grow here.
Speaker 1: I mean, he only has three touchdowns with the Vikings,
Speaker 1: and that number I think we could see definitely go
Speaker 1: up a number. I think we can also see go
Speaker 1: up is going to be that target share number. Here's
Speaker 1: a twenty three point four percent on the Vikings he
Speaker 1: trailed only Kelsey and Andrews and Theelan and Irv Smith
Speaker 1: are gone. Now that's gonna that. It leaves one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty three vacated targets, So that's another twenty two
Speaker 1: percent of the entire team target share that opens up. Yea,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get a lot more work of
Speaker 1: and where the Vikings are right now pre draft, there's
Speaker 1: not another receiver that's gonna eat up a lot of
Speaker 1: those hundred and forty three vacated shares. kJ Osbourne's gonna
Speaker 1: get more, but they don't have anybody else in the
Speaker 1: wide receiver department that's gonna help that way, you mentioned
Speaker 1: the touchdown number could go up. I want to drill
Speaker 1: down on that for a minute. Here he is number
Speaker 1: one in red zone targets while with the Vikings and
Speaker 1: he only scored three times. It suggests that if he
Speaker 1: can be if he's going to be number one in
Speaker 1: red zone targets again for the Vikings among all tight ends,
Speaker 1: that three touchdown number is going to go up. And
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons he was probably the
Speaker 1: most targeted, like you said, tight end in the red zones,
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be double in Justin Jefferson, like everybody knows,
Speaker 1: that's kind of their first option. So I think TJ
Speaker 1: really exploited a lot of kind of one on one
Speaker 1: matchups down in the red zone, where he's been pretty good.
Speaker 1: Like he is a big body, very athletic guy. I
Speaker 1: mean we've seen him do a couple have a couple
Speaker 1: of players with the Vikes. I think it was in
Speaker 1: that uh was the Giants game, not the playoff game,
Speaker 1: but in the regular season game. Yeah, nice red zone
Speaker 1: touchdown there. But I really like Hockinson this year. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have the best statistical season of
Speaker 1: his career this year. Like you said, probably, I think
Speaker 1: he's the number two receiving option on this team. Well,
Speaker 1: currently current ADP is tight end three. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a big price, it is, You're
Speaker 1: not there's no discount on TJ Hockinson at this time.
Speaker 1: A lot of people feel like that's probably going to happen.
Speaker 1: There's there is also reason to like or I think
Speaker 1: be interested in the fact that long term, this is
Speaker 1: his last year pending contract, right, so if he plays
Speaker 1: this out, this is a contract year for t J.
Speaker 1: Hopkinson for those that believe in that. But also note
Speaker 1: this is Kirk's last year. Let's just talk Dynasty and
Speaker 1: Empire leagues for a minute. Do you believe the Dynasty
Speaker 1: Empire value is about what his current ADPs is? He
Speaker 1: roughly tight end three in your mind as you if
Speaker 1: you put on just a focus for Dynasty, not for Dynasty.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, just because I mean, he is
Speaker 1: on the younger side, but we have no clue what
Speaker 1: his situation is going to look like after this year. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're winning out team and you're looking for a
Speaker 1: solid tight end, a really good tight end to kind
Speaker 1: of win you a championship this year, like maybe you're
Speaker 1: in that year or two where you won the previous year.
Speaker 1: Now you need to win back to back years. That's
Speaker 1: Empire yea, yeah exactly. TJA Hodginson I think is going
Speaker 1: to be a great player to go out and trade
Speaker 1: for that. But if you're looking long term, I think
Speaker 1: I'd rather have a guy like Kyle Pitts. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: you wouldn't. I better have Kyle Pitts, guy like Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 1: I think George Kittle, those guys who I kind of
Speaker 1: know what their situation is going to be going forward
Speaker 1: somewhat more than I think I can say with Hawkinson. Well,
Speaker 1: the funny thing about Andrews Kittle Pits was their quarterback. Yeah, well, right,
Speaker 1: in terms of George, if you don't have a quarterback
Speaker 1: of the future on any of those teams yet, or
Speaker 1: at least a sure one, the only person that matters
Speaker 1: to me for George Kittle is College Shanahan. That's all
Speaker 1: that matters for me. That helps yep. Yeah, um, and
Speaker 1: those guys are I think all of these players are
Speaker 1: pretty special athletes, Andrew's Kittle Pits and t. J. Hawkinson.
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard might be the safest side of this whole
Speaker 1: group just because of the offense he plays in the
Speaker 1: quarterback that he's got. You know, I think there's there's
Speaker 1: still a lot to like about Dallas Goddard. So to me,
Speaker 1: that does make that does make some sense. Would you
Speaker 1: rather have let's play the would you rather have game?
Speaker 1: Let's do it? Okay, I'll let I'll let you, I'll
Speaker 1: let you lead. Okay, so you want me to ask
Speaker 1: you sure? All right, Mark Andrews current going, would you
Speaker 1: take Mark Andrews over TJ. Mark Andrews is tied in two.
Speaker 1: Given that I assume that an unhappy Mark Jackson is
Speaker 1: going to be his quarterback this year, I think Ako Hockinson. Okay,
Speaker 1: George Kittle, factoring in all the injury stuff that you
Speaker 1: have to go through with George Kittle, knowing that he's
Speaker 1: gonna miss three games out of the year and he's
Speaker 1: gonna be questionable rolling into Sunday three more times, I
Speaker 1: think i'd rather Hotkinson. Okay, I'm gonna say Kyle Pitts,
Speaker 1: but I think you know where I'm going. I'm not
Speaker 1: on I'm not doing Pits, you are. I tweeted a
Speaker 1: video yesterday. Remember I'm not trying to make this buck
Speaker 1: Kyle Pits, but it was a video about it was
Speaker 1: literally all of the targets Mariota through to him, and
Speaker 1: it was just atrocious. Like miss after it was I
Speaker 1: cried after watching it, it was Okay, is just quarterbacking
Speaker 1: any better? Now? There's no way it can be worse?
Speaker 1: So yes, okay, okay, sorry about Kyle Pits. Dallas Goddard. See,
Speaker 1: I love Goddard, so it was the show was on
Speaker 1: Goddard all last offseason. We were on the Eagles all
Speaker 1: last offseason, and I'm sticking. I'm sticking with Goddard because
Speaker 1: I love the offense and I love the opportunity there.
Speaker 1: So Goddard is currently going in tight and six right now,
Speaker 1: I think that's wrong. Okay. Now, granted, that's a run
Speaker 1: heavy team and near the stripe, you know that they're
Speaker 1: they're going to run a lot up close, and actually
Speaker 1: were him touch on that on a Future Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly micro later this week. But I still just like
Speaker 1: the overall potential of Dallas Goddard in that in that
Speaker 1: offense so much. He just feels so safe. I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I'm huge on Godded this year. I think
Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of Bestball drafts and I
Speaker 1: think he might be my most drafted tight end just
Speaker 1: because I think he's you can kind of compare him
Speaker 1: to the Kittle Hits, Yeah Hawkinson era, and you're getting
Speaker 1: him of the cheapest costs. So I'm huge on Godded
Speaker 1: right now. All Right, So I think you and I
Speaker 1: are kind of on lotstuff. We both think that the
Speaker 1: current ADP for tj Hodkinson tight end three, it's about right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's about right now. I'm fine taking him there too,
Speaker 1: like I've taken there a lot of time. So yep.
Speaker 1: And in Dynasty, you might want to see if you're
Speaker 1: not playing to win the right now this year, you
Speaker 1: might want to see what you can get for T.
Speaker 1: J Hodkinson sitting on potentially a very good year, but
Speaker 1: with all of the unknowns both in Minnesota and where
Speaker 1: he may end up next year, which could be somebody
Speaker 1: someplace else. Yeah, you know, for all we know he's
Speaker 1: going to be I don't know in Tampa catching passes
Speaker 1: from probably not Baker Mayfield next year because I don't
Speaker 1: know that Baker Mayfield be the quarterback next Drake may Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go, there you go, all right. Thank you
