Speaker 2: Fantasy Football Weekly Micro Edition. It's here. I'm Paul Chargi,
Speaker 2: and my co host, as usual for these, is Tyler Knable.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello at PPR. Tyler not Taylor.
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't get that.
Speaker 2: You don't get that.
Speaker 3: People mix that up a lot, not really a lot.
Speaker 3: Some of my friends will call me Taylor just a
Speaker 3: bug you. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sometimes we have like some some like girl names for
Speaker 4: like guys like you. Just we call one of my friends, uh, Eric,
Speaker 4: We call him like Erica or something like that.
Speaker 3: Some of those call him Derek just like some some
Speaker 3: of that rhymes with your name. It's weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think I want to be in your friend group.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would want to be in there. Honestly, I
Speaker 3: won't even join your Discord server, so take that. I'm
Speaker 3: not even on Discord.
Speaker 2: So wow, that's I thought everybody was on Discord.
Speaker 3: No, I just I can't get into it, you know.
Speaker 2: Like you know my daughter. That's that's how they talk.
Speaker 2: They don't they don't text, they don't, you know, it's
Speaker 2: all just a discord. That's it.
Speaker 3: I don't do anything through discorder. I just I'm all
Speaker 3: eye message pretty much.
Speaker 4: That's like my only form or like a someone will
Speaker 4: put like a funny video on like an Instagram group chat.
Speaker 3: That's that's pretty much it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, if at any point I look distracted, it's because
Speaker 2: over your shoulder, I think I've now got sparrows building
Speaker 2: a nest under one of my eves. And that's a
Speaker 2: big problem. You do not want that.
Speaker 3: Let's throw sparrows.
Speaker 2: They're fine anywhere else. They just not hear not. I
Speaker 2: don't barn swallows. It's the barn swallow, not the sparrow.
Speaker 2: Think I got barns a bird and they go they
Speaker 2: build their nest under an eve, and then it's poop everywhere.
Speaker 2: You don't want it on your house, near your house.
Speaker 2: This is what trees are for. Go into the tree.
Speaker 2: The tree wants the natural fertilizer. My deck does not
Speaker 2: need the natural fertilizer. Yeah, so I will keep I
Speaker 2: will keep everybody very very a praise to the situation.
Speaker 2: And this is this is a development is happening right now,
Speaker 2: and I'm very nervous about this.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Once they start building the nest, you got to undo that.
Speaker 2: You can't let them like get it in their head
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do you.
Speaker 4: Go through take taking care of one of those. Do
Speaker 4: you have to like hire somebody or can you just like.
Speaker 3: That? Oh?
Speaker 2: Thankfully No, this, the barn swallow nest is not like
Speaker 2: an endangered thing yet, fortunately, so I can just go
Speaker 2: take it down and go build it somewhere else. But
Speaker 2: I don't want them to build the nest and have
Speaker 2: eggs in it. I don't want to be the guy
Speaker 2: that tears down the egg laiden nest. So I got
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 3: At it soon. Yeah, I know you're doing after the show.
Speaker 2: It is what I'm doing after the show, immediately after
Speaker 2: the show, and to go check this out and make
Speaker 2: sure they're not starting that process.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: And apparently there's some sticky goop you can put down
Speaker 2: that will dissuade them from nesting there. But then I
Speaker 2: got sticky goop on my house. I don't want that.
Speaker 3: You don't want that. Well, speaking of birds, we got
Speaker 3: haul Brown talking about that. That's right, Cardinal.
Speaker 2: I'd rather have we have cardinals in the backyard too,
Speaker 2: I'd rather have Cardinals Hollywood. Brown becomes a fascinating study
Speaker 2: with DeAndre Hopkins gone. And now do we go back
Speaker 2: to what we saw in the first part of the
Speaker 2: season when DeAndre Hopkins last year was suspended and Brown
Speaker 2: was fantastic.
Speaker 4: He he was great to start the season last year.
Speaker 4: So for overall season he was wideceiver forty four. Had
Speaker 4: some injuries, but he was the wide receiver twenty eight
Speaker 4: and average points per game.
Speaker 3: Curly going off of the ward is wide receiver thirty four.
Speaker 2: Everybody's down on Cardinals stand yep, yep.
Speaker 4: I mean we've seen, like you mentioned, we've seen what
Speaker 4: Kyler and Hollywood can do when it's just those two
Speaker 4: in the offense and like together. Over the first six weeks,
Speaker 4: which is a pretty nice sample size when Diapo suspended,
Speaker 4: Brown averaged ten targets, seven catches, eighty yards, had three touchdowns,
Speaker 4: and he was the wide receiver eight over that span.
Speaker 2: It was wide receiver eight for six weeks. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's not a small sample size.
Speaker 3: And you like it does.
Speaker 4: It doesn't feel fluky either, because like the top seven
Speaker 4: guys were, it was Diggs, Cup Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, DeVante Adams,
Speaker 4: Jaylen wattle Chase and then Marky's Brown. All those guys
Speaker 4: are guys that are being drafted very highly this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love all those guys to come back and
Speaker 2: have good years exactly, but nobody wants Hollywood Brown at
Speaker 2: ADP thirty four. Yeah, when we know he can produce
Speaker 2: at that level when a passing offense goes through him. Now,
Speaker 2: it's totally different coaching staff, so we don't know for
Speaker 2: sure that they're gonna repeat that. But when you look
Speaker 2: at who else is on the team, where else is
Speaker 2: the ball gonna go? So his competition for targets. You've
Speaker 2: got a hobbled zach Ertz trying to come back off
Speaker 2: inn acl and an older player.
Speaker 3: At that he's like thirty four.
Speaker 2: You've got two almost identical slot receivers in Ron del
Speaker 2: Moore and Greg Dortch who never catch a pass longer
Speaker 2: than about four yards down the line, down downfield. And
Speaker 2: then you've got rookie Michael Wilson, third rounder, total unknown,
Speaker 2: and most people did not expect him to go in
Speaker 2: the third round. That might have been a bit of
Speaker 2: a stretch for Michael Wilson. We'll see there is a
Speaker 2: primrose path to like one hundred and forty targets for
Speaker 2: Marquis Brown on this season.
Speaker 3: I don't know why he's going this low.
Speaker 4: I mean, you mentioned it, there's no competition for targets,
Speaker 4: and we like we said, we saw what he looks
Speaker 4: like when he's the only guy there, and that's it
Speaker 4: seemingly what that's gonna be the case this season. I
Speaker 4: think why he's going so low is because everyone is
Speaker 4: worried about who's gonna be the quarterback until Kyler comes back.
Speaker 3: And if Kyler comes back, Yeah, what is he going
Speaker 3: to look like? Right? And I think that's what people
Speaker 3: are scared of.
Speaker 4: And and that's a good it's it's it's a fair argument,
Speaker 4: but I just don't see.
Speaker 3: It's like the dkm Metcalf conversation last year.
Speaker 4: Everybody thought dkm Metcalf was going he everyone agreed that
Speaker 4: he was good, but he it was the oh, the offense,
Speaker 4: the quarterback gino is not good and then he turned
Speaker 4: out to be what the wide receiver was like fifteen
Speaker 4: sixteen something like that, right.
Speaker 2: Yr Yeah, it's there's there's some reason to think that
Speaker 2: Mark Hollywood Brown could be extremely good. Their people would
Speaker 2: also look at and go okay. Well, DeAndre Hopkins came
Speaker 2: back and Brown just disappeared from this offense. You know,
Speaker 2: if he's so good, how come it couldn't have been
Speaker 2: a one A and a one B with DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 2: and Marquise Brown. I think that's a fair observation. No
Speaker 2: one was a fast receiver known for big downfield plays.
Speaker 2: Brown's targeted air yards last year were shockingly low behind
Speaker 2: several other Browns. In fact, behind Noah Brown, aj Brown.
Speaker 2: You know, I expected there to be more air yards
Speaker 2: going his way. That didn't materialize in last year's offense,
Speaker 2: but maybe it will this year.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Although we don't know who's gonna throw them the ball.
Speaker 3: We don't know who's gonna throw on the ball. Right now,
Speaker 3: it's looking like a competition between Colt McCoy and rookie
Speaker 3: Clayton Tune.
Speaker 2: Is that a competition?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 2: Isn't Colt McCoy that the assumed a Week one starter?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I like col McCay wasn't
Speaker 3: good last year. He was.
Speaker 4: I remember like two years, two years ago he was
Speaker 4: good in like a game against the like the San
Speaker 4: France forty nine or something down like oh my god, col
Speaker 4: McCoy through like three hundred yards. But we saw what
Speaker 4: he was like when Kyler was hurt. Cole McCoy did nothing.
Speaker 4: He did absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So maybe Clayton.
Speaker 4: Tune's kind of like a I don't know, like a
Speaker 4: like a Dak Prescott situation. I mean it's not it's
Speaker 4: not Tony Romo, but like kind of mid round, late
Speaker 4: round guy just come in and I don't know, maybe
Speaker 4: light the world on fire.
Speaker 3: Who knows. I'm not not predicting that by any means,
Speaker 3: but you never know.
Speaker 2: Way back in like March, there was talk that Kyler
Speaker 2: Murray may not be back until mid season, but the
Speaker 2: more recent news is much much more optimistic. And if
Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown has gone off the border wide receiver thirty four,
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like I'm buying because I just
Speaker 2: need Kyler Murray to come back sooner than like mid season. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and even if he doesn't, I mean, it's not like
Speaker 2: he would never get any passes his way. They wouldn't
Speaker 2: maybe just won't be as good as passes. And what
Speaker 2: if Kyler Murray's back for the start of the year,
Speaker 2: it's possible or near the start of the year.
Speaker 3: It's definitely possible.
Speaker 4: I mean, we touched on a little bit last but
Speaker 4: then I really dove into kind of some of the data.
Speaker 4: So Kyler Murray towards ACL on December twelfth of last season.
Speaker 4: We have three other recent quarterbacks who have kind of
Speaker 4: torn their ACL around this time, and then we get
Speaker 4: there what ended up happening. So Joe Burrow towards a
Speaker 4: CL and MCL on November twenty second, and then he started.
Speaker 2: Right in that same time range exact a couple of weeks, started.
Speaker 3: Every game next season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, ability was severely hampered early on, but that's fine,
Speaker 2: and you know, that's that what we're here to talk about.
Speaker 2: We care about Kyler Murray's arm exist conversation about Hollywood Brown.
Speaker 4: We don't care about the mobility right now. We're just
Speaker 4: talking about is Kyler Murray in there? And can he
Speaker 4: make those passes that that Cole McCoy cannot. That's all
Speaker 4: we that's all we care about. Carson Wentz towars ACL
Speaker 4: and LCL on twelve ten and missed for the first
Speaker 4: two games of the next season, all right, So.
Speaker 2: That's almost the exact same timeframe almost of the day,
Speaker 2: and Carson Wentz missed two games and then came back,
Speaker 2: So that would be another reason for optimism that Kyler
Speaker 2: Murray is going to start sooner than later.
Speaker 3: And then RG three.
Speaker 4: Famously toys Al and LCL on January sixth, so about
Speaker 4: three weeks later than Kyler and then started week one.
Speaker 2: Right, that shouldn't have shouldn't but he did start week one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, So, I mean, I think there's a lot
Speaker 2: of history it suggest Kyler Murray's can be ready at
Speaker 2: the start of the season. Yeah, I'd like to think
Speaker 2: that he's rehabbing and not just playing call of duty,
Speaker 2: probably the case, but we don't know that that's the case.
Speaker 3: I think he gets a.
Speaker 4: Little too much flag for the whole call of duty thing,
Speaker 4: like it was. I think it was funny at first,
Speaker 4: but then it's like I think people legitimately think that
Speaker 4: he's just sitting there playing call of duty for like
Speaker 4: ten hours and he just doesn't care about football. Do
Speaker 4: you know how many others I'm gonna go on a
Speaker 4: rander do you know any other like players play like
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill is playing on like Saturday nights before games
Speaker 4: and nobody says a word.
Speaker 3: But then Kyler Murray, Like, I don't know if.
Speaker 2: That's what I want him to be doing Saturday night
Speaker 2: before games. I don't want him out on South Beach.
Speaker 3: I want him at home playing video.
Speaker 2: Games on Saturday night. That's exactly what I want him
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 4: But if Kyler Murray, you if if Kyler Murray streamed
Speaker 4: Call of Duty on a Saturday night, he might have
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand viewers in that stream and every single
Speaker 4: comment is going to be l L L call of
Speaker 4: Duty Kyler. It's like all this stuff, I just think
Speaker 4: he gets a bad raft for it, and I'm I'm
Speaker 4: on Kyler's side.
Speaker 3: I think the big.
Speaker 4: Argument was like they had the thing in the contract
Speaker 4: whereas like he needs to watch film and they took
Speaker 4: it out and that was like the whole thing is like, oh,
Speaker 4: Pikey's been playing Call of Duty. Like I don't I
Speaker 4: think Kyler gets a bad raft for it. I'm team
Speaker 4: Kyler on this whole situation. He seems, like all accounts
Speaker 4: a good guy.
Speaker 2: So let's go through the ADPs of various players, including
Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown and the players being drafted near him. But
Speaker 2: first a I'll quickly mention guillotine leagues dot com open
Speaker 2: for business. If you've got friends that want to play,
Speaker 2: you can try a Guillotine league with as few as
Speaker 2: eight teams in your league. And actually you could do
Speaker 2: it twice in one season. You could have a season
Speaker 2: that runs leaks one through eight and then another one
Speaker 2: that goes nine through sixty. Also public leagus. You want
Speaker 2: to join a you want to join a Guillotine league contest.
Speaker 2: We've got prizing levels for all kinds of different levels
Speaker 2: of play and all available at eighteen leagues dot com. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's get into some of the players that are being
Speaker 2: drafted around Hollywood Brown.
Speaker 3: All right, First, when we got Tyler Lockett, why does
Speaker 3: he your thirty two?
Speaker 2: But now Lockett finishes like wide receiver thirteen last year.
Speaker 2: So the fact that Lockett is this low, he's always
Speaker 2: this slow, as he's always nobody ever wants to believe right.
Speaker 3: Nope, now the whole it's Jason's there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I think given to all the competition
Speaker 2: in Seattle, I would go Hollywood Brown.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. Mike Evans, why does he your thirty three?
Speaker 2: Unbelievable? What's happened to Mike Evans in one year?
Speaker 3: Yeah, unreal. I'm more out of Mike Evans than I
Speaker 3: am on JK. Dobbins.
Speaker 2: That says a lot people heard yesterday's show. I think
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Hollywood Brown. I don't trust there's so
Speaker 2: much about Tampa. I don't like battle offensive line, quarterback
Speaker 2: question marks. Uh yeah, Mike Evans getting pretty long in
Speaker 2: the tooth too.
Speaker 3: Yep. Jordan Addison, why does he wear thirty four?
Speaker 2: I'll go Hollywood Brown. Say he's a known quantity and
Speaker 2: and I like Jordan Addison. I think he's going to
Speaker 2: have a really nice career with the Vikings. But based
Speaker 2: on what we know right now, would rather have the
Speaker 2: Cardinals number one than the distant number two from Minnesota.
Speaker 3: Maybe number three with just Hawkinson too. Yeah I get that.
Speaker 3: Good point. Yeah, good point. I like Addison too.
Speaker 4: I do like the the amount of vacated targets, that
Speaker 4: feeling left behind is great. But yeah, I think I'd
Speaker 4: go Marky's Brown. Last one Darius Tony wide deceiver thirty six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not close, And you know Tony's got freaky upside.
Speaker 2: I get it. If he stays healthy, maybe he's the
Speaker 2: best receiver on a Patrick Mahomes led offense, but best
Speaker 2: wide receiver.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but wish we'll thinking. I think I'm the Cadarius
Speaker 4: Tony discourse right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know what's happening is
Speaker 2: to bring Tony up to wide receiver thirty six because
Speaker 2: obviously he's never been anything close to wide receiver thirty six.
Speaker 2: Is everybody's like, okay at that stage of my draft,
Speaker 2: it's round eight and you're like, I'll just throw a
Speaker 2: dart and maybe I get lucky, and Cadarius Tony plays
Speaker 2: seventeen games and he's gonna be terrific.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: But that it's only because people are willing to look
Speaker 2: past his history in the eighth round when they're making
Speaker 2: that pick.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I feel like we agree that Marky's Brown smash
Speaker 4: pick right now giving it his ADP.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we agree. Yeah, I think this is a I
Speaker 2: think there's a lot to like about Hollywood Brown. So
Speaker 2: thank you for listening. Appreciate it, everybody. You got to
