Speaker 1: Weekly Micro. As just mentioned, this is where we do

Speaker 1: ten minutes and any of these. Hopefully this time we will.
Speaker 1: My co host is Tyler Knabily. Hi, Tyler, Hi, how
Speaker 1: We're doing great? You can follow us on Twitter at
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and at Tyler Knabily. Fantasy Football Weekly is

Speaker 1: player all off season? If you do, we want to know.
Speaker 1: We want to hear from you. What would you change?
Speaker 1: What do you like? What do you not like? At
Speaker 1: Paul Charchion at Tyler Kannabily k n A e b
Speaker 1: l E k n A e b l e twice Yes,
Speaker 1: Tyler Kannabily, Look, I know what it's like, have to
Speaker 1: transition people, look, teach people about a tough last name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm familiar Knebel. He's a tricky one. It is a
Speaker 1: little bit everyone. It's the either the naval like I
Speaker 1: called Evil kanevl in like elementary school. Yeah, you didn't
Speaker 1: even know what that meant that. Yeah, Yes, Evil Knevel
Speaker 1: was for my time for the most part. Honestly, don't
Speaker 1: even know what time he was. He was mid seventies, okay, Yes,
Speaker 1: stunt daredevil guy. Yes, yeah, we're not talking about Yes, well,
Speaker 1: some some people would say that there's evil. There's plenty
Speaker 1: of evil in Derek Carr. Yeah, if you've drafted in
Speaker 1: for your fantasy teams, you've had middling production every year.
Speaker 1: But he's like four thousand yards every year, twenty eight
Speaker 1: touchdowns every year, you know, twenty two, it's actually the
Speaker 1: high in twenty three, twenty five, twenty eight touchdowns every year.
Speaker 1: He's not you know, he certainly hasn't lived up to
Speaker 1: his draft status. Speaking of draft status, where is he
Speaker 1: going in drafts right now? For early drafts for this
Speaker 1: coming year? Right now, he is the QB twenty about
Speaker 1: round ten or eleven. It's funny because he was the
Speaker 1: QB twenty in points per game last year. So in yeah,
Speaker 1: in theory, you could just be do you like a
Speaker 1: situation better or do you like it worse than the Raiders?
Speaker 1: I think I like it worse. Although you know, Chris
Speaker 1: A Lobby is going to be very good. Rashidch Heat's
Speaker 1: pretty exciting. Juwan Johnson's got some upside, scout some young
Speaker 1: players to build around. I agree. I just think that
Speaker 1: are they better than one he had with the Raiders
Speaker 1: because right now, I mean, if we break down his
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season, we kind of use the some
Speaker 1: of the stats with with Mariota and a couple episodes ago,
Speaker 1: but he had the seventh worst on target percentage among
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two quarterbacks, the fifth worst poor percentage throws
Speaker 1: four throws percentage, and then the only guys that finished
Speaker 1: better than him were quarterbacks like Mariota, Zack Wilson, Davis Mills,
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. None of like the guys you expect like
Speaker 1: they were better than him or worse. There they were worse.
Speaker 1: They were worse than him. Yeah, they were worse than
Speaker 1: him in that stat There was no guys like Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: There was no guys. No, That's what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: I feel like the stat's a good stat because there
Speaker 1: was no one that you wouldn't expect to see that
Speaker 1: eye on the things. The guys who were all worse
Speaker 1: in poor throw percentage than Derek Car We all guys
Speaker 1: who got benched at some point last year. Yes, Mariota, Wilson, Mills,
Speaker 1: and Wentz all guys that got benched exactly, which says plenty.
Speaker 1: Derek Cart technically kind of got benched at the end
Speaker 1: of the year too. It was it was for salary
Speaker 1: cap reasons. They didn't want to guarantee his contract. But
Speaker 1: you can understand why coming off a surprising number of
Speaker 1: interceptions last year, which ties into this too. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: had the most interceptions of his career in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two and twenty twenty one, so he's not gotten better
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years. He also the worst
Speaker 1: completion percentage since his rookie season at sixty point eight percent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not good and it's not like because when I
Speaker 1: was thinking about it was like, the Raiders don't have
Speaker 1: a very good old line do that went to PF.
Speaker 1: Raiders allowed the tenth least sacks out of their eighty team, surprising,
Speaker 1: and they posted the ninth best pass blocking grade per PF.
Speaker 1: So it's not like he had a terrible offensive support
Speaker 1: into Pro Football Focus, right, And he also had Josh
Speaker 1: Jacobs last year who had the best season of his career.
Speaker 1: So you'd like to think that Josh Jacobs would at
Speaker 1: least taken to me off him exactly. And Adams, right,
Speaker 1: And Derek and Darren Waller and Darrell who has hurt
Speaker 1: a little bit, Hunter Renfroell hurt a little bit, but
Speaker 1: he's still like Davanta Adams and Josh Jacobs a good line. Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like you put any other quarterback in that situation,
Speaker 1: they might have done a little better. Right. I think
Speaker 1: you're probably right about that. You can dump off to
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, but dude just doesn't look like he used to.
Speaker 1: And I and his legal status, that thing is, that
Speaker 1: thing could end up being trickier than people realize. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't It does not right now, doesn't look
Speaker 1: necessarily great. Um. Also, you got a factor and I
Speaker 1: think a little bit with Derek carrt this stupid Taysom
Speaker 1: Hill thing. Yeah, Taysom Hill is good for a lot
Speaker 1: of red zone production. I would say he's gonna take
Speaker 1: at least four to five touchdowns a season like that,
Speaker 1: that's guaranteed. We say, Alvin Kamara owners know that basically
Speaker 1: is going to take some touchdowns. And if we just
Speaker 1: kind of look over all at the same situation, I
Speaker 1: feel like a lave is like really the only piece
Speaker 1: you can feel like great about. I guess Michael Thomas too,
Speaker 1: depending on where you're at. Shockingly, they're bringing back Michael Thoms.
Speaker 1: Didn't gotta be done with that guy by now, but no,
Speaker 1: they're breaking him back. He looks okay when he's on
Speaker 1: the field last year. I mean I remember Week one
Speaker 1: he had two touchdowns against my Falcons, So yeah, I
Speaker 1: know he looked okay, but he is he gonna be
Speaker 1: on the field. He hasn't been on the field in
Speaker 1: the past three years, virtually, not at all for three
Speaker 1: years exactly. So I'm you mentioned the Kamara thing. Get
Speaker 1: the suspension was also not twenty nineteen anymore. Their old
Speaker 1: line is seemingly worse. Saints had the sixth worst PPF
Speaker 1: pass blocking grade and finished about the middle of the the
Speaker 1: packinsack a lot, So he's not getting a better situation
Speaker 1: with the Saints for in terms of offensive line their
Speaker 1: offensive play calling is probably gonna be worse. I can't
Speaker 1: I don't know who. I don't even know who the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator is for the Saints. I kindly gonna better
Speaker 1: than Josh McDaniels, who, I mean, we know what Josh
Speaker 1: McDaniels is at this point. Their weapons are overall worse.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the taste mil thing. So yeah, now
Speaker 1: car is a better deep ball passer than Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: was and LaVey and Rashishi Head. I mean there those
Speaker 1: are some downfield fast receivers, so I think he can
Speaker 1: unlock some of those big plays. Um and i'd like
Speaker 1: to see I'm optimistic about Derek Carr that way. But
Speaker 1: you know, if you ask me right now, given that
Speaker 1: he's going in round ten eleven his quarterback twenty, I
Speaker 1: could take Anthony Richardson today, not knowing what his landing
Speaker 1: spot's gonna be or even if you'll start this year,
Speaker 1: or Derek Carr. I think I would take Richardson, And
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of other you know, there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of other quarterbacks I think that I I think I'd
Speaker 1: rather have at this stage than necessarily try get your
Speaker 1: you know, your twenty five touchdowns out of Derek car
Speaker 1: every year. Yeah. So there's a lot of notable quarterbacks
Speaker 1: going after him in draft. So i'll read off the quarterback.
Speaker 1: You tell me if you would take him, okay, right now,
Speaker 1: over Derek Carr, Bryce Young? Yeah, not knowing landing spot
Speaker 1: not yet. Um, yes, I think I would. I think
Speaker 1: he could. I think Bryce Young in the in the
Speaker 1: right spot. It well, he'll be pick one or two
Speaker 1: probably right. He also presents rushing upside that Derek Carr
Speaker 1: just does not have whatsoever. Yeah, at least, yes, at
Speaker 1: least some Yeah, I think that's a yes. Yep, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm in on Bryce Young, Maddie Stafford. Can
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford just tell us if he's gonna quit the
Speaker 1: game of football or not. I wanted to come out
Speaker 1: and say I'm definitely coming back because we haven't heard
Speaker 1: that yet and they're gutting this Rams team. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm for me, it's it's probably still Stafford, Cup. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's that's all you need. I need Cup to come
Speaker 1: back healthy, but hopefully you will. Yeah, okay, I'll take Stafford,
Speaker 1: all right. CJ. Stroude. Let's say he goes to the
Speaker 1: Panthers at one. I don't get a lot of the
Speaker 1: rushing production out of Stroud, but I like the passing.
Speaker 1: But he's gonna be on one of two pretty weaponless teams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go no on Stroud. Okay,
Speaker 1: Kenny Pikett, No zero interest in Kenny Pickett, not Kenygain. No,
Speaker 1: he showed he did. Hey, dude, could you throw two
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a game? Is that really too much to ask?
Speaker 1: Because he's never done it? Yeah, he's got some weapons too,
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, all right, last one, Jordan Love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they could go Jordan Love on the Unknown and
Speaker 1: just hope he's better. Yeah, yep, as a what is
Speaker 1: the fourth year, fourth year first time starter? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: like Rogers. Yeah, I think i'd go Jordan Love, you know,
Speaker 1: given the given the offense and the weapons and yeah,
Speaker 1: although his receivers aren't great either, honestly, but I trust
Speaker 1: Green Baya to get something out of him. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I would go with Jordan Love. Here. Um, yeah, cars,
Speaker 1: I started, we started this conversation. I was kind of
Speaker 1: interested in Derek Carr. Now I'm kind of offen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm completed. You've turned You've turned him, You've turned turned
Speaker 1: him against me. Good. Tomorrow's Fantasy Football Weekly Micro. Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley coming back a year away from the game for
Speaker 1: betting on his own team even though he was he says,
Speaker 1: you know, it was not in a position of any
Speaker 1: insight knowledge, and we'll assume that that's true. And and
Speaker 1: he was betting for his team, which I guess is
Speaker 1: better than betting against your team. Let's break down Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley as he now goes to the Jaguars, your playoff
Speaker 1: winning Jaguars second round of the playoffs with Trevor Lawrence.
