Speaker 1: You found Fantasy Football Weekly Micro, a deep dive on one.
Speaker 2: Player in just five to ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Now, here's your host, Paul Chargian. It's Fantasy Football Weekly Micro. Addition,
Speaker 1: I am Paul Charchian. My co host is Guillotine Leagues
Speaker 1: dot com writer Tyler Cannabilee.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello. I am ready to talk some
Speaker 2: more football than I am ready to talk football every day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I love that. I love that.
Speaker 1: The offseason excitement. I know you're in a bunch of
Speaker 1: best ball leagues already.
Speaker 2: I'm in an absurd of draft.
Speaker 3: It never ends, baby, and we love it.
Speaker 1: Today we're talking Miles Sanders. Caroline is not the juiciest
Speaker 1: of landing spots for Miles Sanders, but the opportunity is there.
Speaker 1: Look at Don de Foreman was a Fantasy viable player
Speaker 1: last year after Christian McCaffrey left for Pete's sake.
Speaker 2: Yeah, new coaching staff this year in Carolina, obviously. But
Speaker 2: I kind of went into this thinking I'm not really
Speaker 2: gonna like Miles Sanders when I'm doing the research whatever,
Speaker 2: But I was actually kind of pleasantly surprised by some
Speaker 2: of the stuff I found.
Speaker 3: All Right, Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Let's dig a yeah, let's do it. Twenty twenty two finished,
Speaker 2: he was the RB thirteen in Philly, RB eighteen and
Speaker 2: average points per game. This year he's going off the
Speaker 2: board is RB seventeen, so around kind of the same
Speaker 2: place where he finished last year. And that's kind of
Speaker 2: when I was like, oh, he went from Philly to Carolina,
Speaker 2: he's being drafted the same part. That doesn't make any
Speaker 2: sense to me. But then I kind of dove in.
Speaker 1: Well, he doesn't have Jalen Hurts stealing double digit rushing
Speaker 1: touchdowns from him.
Speaker 2: That's fair. But I remember we broke When we broke down,
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor mentioned that Miles Sanders had I think the
Speaker 2: second most red zone carries. I think it was, So
Speaker 2: that was one thing I really liked about Miles Sanders
Speaker 2: in Phillies. They just ran the ball at the ten,
Speaker 2: twenty and five all that. So let's kind of break
Speaker 2: down going from Philly to Carolina. So last year Philly
Speaker 2: was second in points per game, Carolina was nineteenth, probably
Speaker 2: gonna be worse now, all things considered. Philadelphia's old line
Speaker 2: was third in run block PFF grade, Carolinas was twenty second.
Speaker 3: These are sizeable down grades.
Speaker 2: Yes, and then Philly has just a great culture and identity.
Speaker 2: You know, they're gonna run the football, you know what
Speaker 2: they are. Carolina, as a first year head coach rookie quarterback,
Speaker 2: we don't really know what it's gonna look like, which
Speaker 2: can be good, but it can also be really bad.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the the first part of Sanders.
Speaker 2: But this is the good news. When I was really
Speaker 2: starting to dig into some stuff, they paid him a
Speaker 2: good amount of money to be the main guy there.
Speaker 2: I mean, Sanders should be the lead guy. And bad
Speaker 2: teams often have, like they have struggling quarterbacks, so they
Speaker 2: run a lot. For the top five teams in rushing
Speaker 2: attempts last season were non playoff teams, right, and they're
Speaker 2: gonna have a new quarterback, right, Yeah, we'll probably I
Speaker 2: think it'll be Bryce Young.
Speaker 1: And you're not gonna ask Bryce Young to throw the
Speaker 1: ball forty times a game. You know you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna ease in your rookie quarterback by having a lot
Speaker 1: of running plays. And I think that's why you see,
Speaker 1: you know, struggling teams don't have good quarterbacks. Struggling teams
Speaker 1: run a lot they try to win and play ball control.
Speaker 3: That could be Carolina this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Another thing we broke down on that Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 2: episode was the finishes of the running backs when rookie
Speaker 2: QBS come in. Now, it wasn't any top ten finishes,
Speaker 2: but you're not drafting as the top ten guy. You're
Speaker 2: drafted him in that mid seventeen, mid that mid teams range,
Speaker 2: which is where those guys were finishing. So I think
Speaker 2: it's a very I want to say safe because it's Carolina,
Speaker 2: but it seemingly seems safe. And another thing that's safe
Speaker 2: to assume is I think Miles Sanders just get a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of rushing attempts with frank Wright calling the plays.
Speaker 2: So because I dug into all the rushing attempts going
Speaker 2: back to twenty sixteen when he was the coordinator for
Speaker 2: the Eagles, these were his team ranks in just pure
Speaker 2: rushing attempts.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we were go rushing attempt ranks with frank
Speaker 1: Wright as offensive.
Speaker 2: Course, yes, or head coach or head coach.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna go to Indy as well?
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, So this is Eagles to Indy, frank Wright
Speaker 1: rushing offensive rushing attempts got it.
Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen, they ranked tenth with Ryan Matthews, Darren sprowl
Speaker 2: Wendel Smallwood as their running back. Those are their leading rushers. Yes.
Speaker 2: Twenty seventeen, they were six with Lagerret Blunt, Jaygi twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: They were seventeenth with Marlon Mack twenty nineteen. So we're
Speaker 2: on the Colts now. They were fifth with Marlon Mack
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. They were tenth with JT. Twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: They were fifth with JT. I didn't include last year
Speaker 2: because he got fired. It just I just threw out last.
Speaker 1: Year, so that's fine, and he did get fired early
Speaker 1: and everything went wrong last year. Yes, So for Frank Reich,
Speaker 1: what you know if you roll that together, In five
Speaker 1: of the six years in which he was oftense coordinate
Speaker 1: or head coach, his teams have finished as a top
Speaker 1: ten running rushing attempts team. And that's probably coming here
Speaker 1: and here comes Miles Sanders.
Speaker 2: That's why I say arming up as well. It feels
Speaker 2: safe to me. I just don't think the upside is there,
Speaker 2: which it kind of depends what kind of fantasy player
Speaker 2: you are. Are you going to be like, Oh, I
Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna get from Miles Sanders. I'm cool
Speaker 2: with the anyway, from RB twenty two to maybe RB
Speaker 2: fifteen range like that, I feel like that's kind of
Speaker 2: what you're gonna get from Miles Sanders. I don't think
Speaker 2: he has that top ten, top five upside. That's something
Speaker 2: certainly not.
Speaker 1: A PPR right at least, Billing never used him as
Speaker 1: a receiver at all. I mean he was down to
Speaker 1: like half a catch a game. It was barely. You know,
Speaker 1: they're totally unused in that way, and I wonder if
Speaker 1: he can't catch better than Eagles used him. Maybe, but
Speaker 1: that would be I think, given just knowing that he's
Speaker 1: probably sitting on a twenty catch season, that I think
Speaker 1: that that keeps Miles Sanders out of the conversation as
Speaker 1: a top probably ten running back. But wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 1: if he finished tenth.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't surprise me if you finished tenth. I just
Speaker 2: don't think it's very likely that he will, just because
Speaker 2: we mentioned the receptions and just the offense seems capped.
Speaker 2: They're not going to be a top ten scoring offense. Probably.
Speaker 2: It seems like a top fifteen scoring offense. I would
Speaker 2: assume he probably will be. He's the best playmaker they
Speaker 2: have on their team right now. He's better than Feeling
Speaker 2: Chark and terras Mart.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: That's good, but that also probably gonna draft somebody. But
Speaker 2: we'll see. I mean, he's he's gonna get the attempts,
Speaker 2: it's all we know for sure. And if you love
Speaker 2: attempts and you love volume like I do, then he's
Speaker 2: a great pick.
Speaker 1: The kind of a player Miles Sanders is is good
Speaker 1: for Guillotine because you're just fliever. Guys will get a
Speaker 1: lot of usage. You know, he's gonna be sixty to
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards every game. I had coin
Speaker 1: Flip's chance of a touchdown. I don't see Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: getting ever, the usage is never going to be so low.
Speaker 3: He's not going to give you the six.
Speaker 1: Carry for fourteen yard game that gets you chopped in
Speaker 1: a guillotine league.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, weeks one through like thirteen, he's gonna be
Speaker 2: a great pick for geting right.
Speaker 3: He says, the season wears on, you won't you'll need less.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you need like twenty five points, he
Speaker 2: might not be at the end of.
Speaker 3: The year, he might not be your guy.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about Sanders from a dynasty
Speaker 1: empire standpoint. What are your what are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: him now? And what Sanderson must be what twenty five, yeah,
Speaker 1: is years old? I'm gonna guess you're feverishly typing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty five years old? You're right?
Speaker 3: Twenty five?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Yep, So the good news is pretty low mileage for
Speaker 1: a guy who's been the ostensible starter now for several years,
Speaker 1: because they've used such a committee in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: I mean, he did you sign? I think it was
Speaker 2: a two year deal or a three year deal. I
Speaker 2: can't remember exactly which one, but he will be there
Speaker 2: for a little bit here and by he said he's
Speaker 2: twenty five of two or three years, twenty seven, twenty eight,
Speaker 2: it's kind of be on the last legs of his career.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Obviously, if you're a rebuilding team setting, you're out.
Speaker 2: You're probably out of Miles Sanders. But if you are
Speaker 2: like a kind of that fringe or even a competing team,
Speaker 2: he's like a great kind of If you if he
Speaker 2: have Miles Sanders in your flex, I feel really good
Speaker 2: about that. If you were a kind of a contending
Speaker 2: team this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I'm a win now team, if I'm playing
Speaker 1: to win in twenty twenty three in my dynasty league,
Speaker 1: and I see Miles Sanders sitting on a roster of
Speaker 1: a rebuilding team, I'm attacking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly that.
Speaker 1: You know, that guy doesn't want to keep Miles Sanders,
Speaker 1: and he could. He could be a great flex option
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can kind of probably get him for
Speaker 2: a low price. You don't pay that high for Miles Sanders, No,
Speaker 2: he's not.
Speaker 1: He's going to cost me a second round. He's going
Speaker 1: to cost me a second rounder in this year's rookie draft.
Speaker 3: Ye, I'll pay that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not a blue chip name where like, especially
Speaker 2: if you're in a casual league, friends be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: Miles Sanders for one of these new exciting works. You
Speaker 2: gotta wait till after the draft. That's when you got
Speaker 2: to get him. Is Oh, look at Charbona just landed
Speaker 2: on the Cardinals. He's going to be the only guy there.
Speaker 2: Just trade for Miles Sanders.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: Who's going around Miles Sanders in drafts right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So this is where it gets pretty interesting. Najie
Speaker 2: Harris RB fourteen. Well, we just talked about the last one.
Speaker 3: I'd rather Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Same, Aaron Jones RB fifteen.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is frustrating because I love Aaron Jones as
Speaker 1: a player, but we know that he's going to be
Speaker 1: in a timeshare. He's going to be a timeshare back,
Speaker 1: and that gives you too many dud performances. So I'm
Speaker 1: taking Miles Sanders.
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook RB sixteen. Now do you have the scoop
Speaker 2: on Dalvin Cook? I'm not talking. Okay, you know something.
Speaker 1: I would I'll just say this. I'm taking Miles Sanders.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay. David Montgomery RB. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Roads lead back to David Montgomery, who he seemed to
Speaker 1: talk about every week.
Speaker 2: Yes, we were talking about all the guys in this range.
Speaker 1: So yeah, for the reason if you heard the David
Speaker 1: Montgomery Fantasy Football what micro we did? Now what a
Speaker 1: week and a half ago or something a week ago?
Speaker 1: I like I like Montgomery a lot. I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot more upside than most people do. So I'm
Speaker 1: taking Montgomery here and he'll catch a little bit. Sanders
Speaker 1: probably won't.
Speaker 2: So I'll take Montgomery and then JK. Dobbins Man.
Speaker 3: I love JK.
Speaker 2: Dobbins too, which bloody they're kind of in the same
Speaker 2: role right now. Miles Standers might get a little bit
Speaker 2: more carries, but I think the offense in Baltimore is
Speaker 2: a lot better, especially with Todd Munkin, who seems all
Speaker 2: accounts hem to be a pretty good play caller.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be way more balanced offense in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: for sure. I'm gonna take Dobbins just based on the
Speaker 1: fact that he was shocking. He was shockingly good last year,
Speaker 1: even when you know he shouldn't have been, and it
Speaker 1: didn't turn into fans. He wasn't fantasy good. But if
Speaker 1: he broke down like all of his advanced metrics and
Speaker 1: everything in the stats, he was good. I'm taking I'm
Speaker 1: just taking down, all right.
Speaker 2: One last question, just for fun, you need a flex player.
Speaker 2: It's week fourteen of the Guillotine on the on the
Speaker 2: waiver wire. Miles Sanders and Odell beckham Junior. Who you're taking.
Speaker 1: I'm so out on Odell Beckham Man was not a
Speaker 1: bad signing.
Speaker 3: Geez.
Speaker 1: You know the Ravens off front office does so many
Speaker 1: things well, I can't believe that they they bid against
Speaker 1: themselves and gave big money to Odell Beckham for this year.
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't understand the thinking at all.
Speaker 2: I'm a little higher on Odell the player than I
Speaker 2: think some people might be. But the money they gave him,
Speaker 2: it is for one year, So if you have the
Speaker 2: space this year, you might as well do it. But
Speaker 2: was it up to seventeen million dollars?
Speaker 3: That's crazy?
Speaker 2: That is like, that's like Devontae Adams money. Maybe a
Speaker 2: little lower, but that's that's top Yeah, eight wide receiver
Speaker 2: money absurd.
Speaker 1: Nobody else is gonna pay them anything close to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: God bless Odell Beckham's agent. You are amazing. When we
Speaker 1: come up back tomorrow, Fantasy Football Weekly, microwud Dish and
Speaker 1: our third straight running back and another guy who looks
Speaker 1: to be, at least for the moment, carrying his offense.
Speaker 1: Who are we gonna break down?
Speaker 2: We're gonna be breakdown, fellow NFC South running back Rashad White.
Speaker 1: All right, tune in too, myrow everybody, Bye bye,
