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 Chargian. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly Micro edition.
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Charchi and my co host, as usual is
Speaker 1: Tyler Cannabili. For each of our Fantasy Football Weekly micros.
Speaker 1: Going on vacation pretty soon, and we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: figure out what we're gonna do when when I'm gone.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe just let me solo host it with a
Speaker 2: couple of my buddies.
Speaker 1: I don't trust your buddies. Trust you, Yeah, you got
Speaker 1: a lot of shady friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think I want anywhere near a Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly microphone, the golden Fantasy Football Weekly microphone exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very very important.
Speaker 2: We'll not let them on these airwaves.
Speaker 1: Today's micro is a deep dive on Jared Goff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty twenty two finish. He was like QB ten great,
Speaker 2: pretty good.
Speaker 1: I mean you went off the board at what about
Speaker 1: quarterback or something? I would guess yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's going later again and dressed this year
Speaker 3: as ADP is currently the QB fifteen.
Speaker 1: So I think it's weird that his ADP is lower.
Speaker 1: So he finished last year's QB ten, but he's going
Speaker 1: off the board now today is QB fifteen. Weird that
Speaker 1: his ADP is sliding by five spots. But everybody's so
Speaker 1: high on the Lions, and rightfully so. The way they
Speaker 1: finished the season, it all came together. They were an
Speaker 1: incredibly tough out. You know, they beat the Vikings down
Speaker 1: the stretch at thirteen and Viking team, they knocked the
Speaker 1: Packers out of the playoffs. I mean, they had so
Speaker 1: much momentum at the end of the year, and people
Speaker 1: are like, that's Jared Goff.
Speaker 2: Out of want um.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just kind of like, no one likes Jared
Speaker 3: GoF because he's the most boring QB in maybe in
Speaker 3: the league, because he's he's just Jared Goff, Like we
Speaker 3: know what we're gonna get from Jared Goff. But you
Speaker 3: look at all the pieces he has around him, and
Speaker 3: like just everything that he had, like the O line,
Speaker 3: the play calling, the weapons. This debatably, if you take
Speaker 3: all those into account, might be a top three supporting
Speaker 3: cast in the entire league.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that could be the case. You got
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross Saint Brown, You've got DeAndre Swift and
Speaker 1: David Montgomery. As past catching running backs, you've got Jamison Williams.
Speaker 1: And once you get to week seven, dumbass, you've got
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones coming back to town. That's helpful. No tight
Speaker 1: end right now, but that's something they might solve in
Speaker 1: a very good tight end draft. We talked on Friday's
Speaker 1: edition of Fantasy Football Weekly Dwayne Washington Man, Darnell Washington
Speaker 1: arn now, sorry, thank you, Darnell Washington. And if he
Speaker 1: can find his way to Detroit, Oh, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to Green Bay. But all right,
Speaker 1: so let's let's talk through Jared Goff's game a little bit.
Speaker 1: There were some good stats that last year revealed for
Speaker 1: what we could see, you know, when everything's clicking in
Speaker 1: this offense for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean one of the things that I don't
Speaker 2: even know what's good said or not.
Speaker 3: He's number one in passing yards off play action plays,
Speaker 3: which I mean is obviously a good stat I don't
Speaker 3: know what it means necessarily. I feel like when you're
Speaker 3: doing play action that means the off it's kind of
Speaker 3: just clicking on all cylinders. So I really like that
Speaker 3: stat that he was number one in passing yards off
Speaker 3: play action. He was also seventh and next gen stats aggressiveness.
Speaker 3: Aggressiveness is oh my god, aggressiveness rating, which is a
Speaker 3: willingness to.
Speaker 2: Show to kind of thrown at tight windows.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of a nice stat to see from
Speaker 3: which kind of people always thought it was like the
Speaker 3: dink and dunk Jared Cough.
Speaker 1: So yeah, now the aggressiveness stats sometimes means you're a
Speaker 1: bad quarterback making bad decisions. Justin Fields was number one
Speaker 1: in aggressiveness, but it was mostly bad judgment. He was
Speaker 1: throwing into tight windows and he should not. He should
Speaker 1: just a field should not be throwing into tight windows
Speaker 1: at this stage of his career. But Jared Goff's a
Speaker 1: savvy veteran, spend a Super Bowl. If he's throwing into
Speaker 1: tight windows, I trust him to be better about that.
Speaker 1: He was also seventh shortest and intended air yards, which
Speaker 1: is a little disappointing. That is a huge, huge indicator
Speaker 1: for fantasy success for receivers and others. But I want
Speaker 1: to believe that that's going to open up when Jamison
Speaker 1: Williams especially comes back and brings his crazy speed to
Speaker 1: this offense that Goffs can be throwing deeper down field.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean you look at the guys that
Speaker 3: have on just kind of as their receivers. They don't
Speaker 3: really have any of those field structure guys outside of
Speaker 3: jameson Wims. They had Chart last season. He's coming off
Speaker 3: in ACL. I mean, other than that, they have a
Speaker 3: mon Ro He's not a burner. He's kind of more
Speaker 3: of a slot guy going to get you tough yard.
Speaker 1: He's a work the middle guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And also they got Josh Reynolds, also not a burner,
Speaker 3: so they don't really have the personnel to kind of
Speaker 3: go deep on those you know, those deep passes, which
Speaker 3: which is why I think they drafted James and Williams.
Speaker 1: So, oh for sure that was the point of getting
Speaker 1: James and Williams. It just hasn't born fruit.
Speaker 3: Suspension for the guy, by the way, very tough suspension.
Speaker 3: What do you mean he so he been on a
Speaker 3: college game, which you were allowed to do in per
Speaker 3: the rules of the NFL. He'd been on a college game,
Speaker 3: but because he did it in the facility and not
Speaker 3: at home, he's out for six games.
Speaker 2: That seems like a crazy rule.
Speaker 1: Man, I don't have a lot of sympathy because everybody
Speaker 1: knows the rules it is, so it's been made so
Speaker 1: crystal clear. Right he didn't. Not betting on the NFL
Speaker 1: certainly helps since why he's not out all year. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they you know, I I what they don't with
Speaker 1: the NFL is trying to avoid is the Lions. You know,
Speaker 1: the Lions front office is a gambling ring. You know,
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to avoid. And and the Lion's
Speaker 1: front office, you know, the front offices have got scouts,
Speaker 1: some people who are doing all this deep dive college
Speaker 1: football analysis, and I think they're they're, you know, the
Speaker 1: least nervous about that. But man, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just feel like the league, you know, all these
Speaker 1: players know they know better.
Speaker 2: That's fair. I mean, I I thought that too.
Speaker 3: So I was watching Pat McAfee the morning it happen,
Speaker 3: and I had Ian Rappaport on, and Rappaport said that
Speaker 3: like he didn't even know the rules, like he said
Speaker 3: he read the gambling thing. He said he didn't even
Speaker 3: know it was legal to gamel inside the building, which
Speaker 3: I thought was pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but the NFL doesn't do for him what
Speaker 1: it will do for its players, and all the ways
Speaker 1: they explain it and everything else. But that's we're off
Speaker 1: we're off topic on Jared Goff. But it does give
Speaker 1: you some upside in the second half of the season
Speaker 1: for Jared Goff when when he does get back. Jamison Williams,
Speaker 1: potentially some people are turned off by the lack of
Speaker 1: upside for Jared Goff, not enough big explosive games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I kind of dug into some of those,
Speaker 3: like that explosiveness that you were talking about. So we said,
Speaker 3: Jared Goff finished as the QB ten, and I thought
Speaker 3: it was kind of interesting the qbs that.
Speaker 2: Were kind of from five to ten and one to five.
Speaker 3: What kind of separates you from that, like top five
Speaker 3: finishing kind of thing.
Speaker 2: So I broke it down.
Speaker 3: I looked at other qbs inside the top ten with
Speaker 3: four or less top five weekly finishes. So we had
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert who was had two top five weekly finishes,
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones had three, Kirk Cousins had three, and Gino
Speaker 3: Smith had four, and those were all qbs that were
Speaker 3: actually ranged from five to ten, and Jared Goff had
Speaker 3: four as well. So all the qbs from five to
Speaker 3: ten all had like.
Speaker 2: No more than four TOPI five finishes.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of numbers floating around, but the big
Speaker 1: one being through the entire season. Goff played the whole
Speaker 1: se exactly cal he only was able to crack the
Speaker 1: top five in four games exactly.
Speaker 2: Yes. And then you kind of look at all those quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: They're all kind of like in the pocket or like
Speaker 3: bad offense quarterbacks. Maybe with the exception of Herbert he
Speaker 3: can run a little, but he's not known for.
Speaker 2: His rushing ability.
Speaker 3: And then you look at the quarterbacks inside the top
Speaker 3: five quarterbacks one through five. Patrick Mahomes he had seven.
Speaker 3: He also had six more times where he was six,
Speaker 3: so he kind of had almost top six thirteen times,
Speaker 3: which is crazy. And then we had Josh Allen who
Speaker 3: had eleven, Jalen Hurts eleven, Joe Burrow six, and Justin
Speaker 3: Fields five. And all those quarterbacks are either like the
Speaker 3: best pocket patches in the league or they have rushing
Speaker 3: rushing ability.
Speaker 1: So that's what Goff doesn't give you, and that's why
Speaker 1: we're bored by him, exactly, And he doesn't give you
Speaker 1: big upside the kind of league's perfect for Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: Is a guillotine league, oh for sure. You know, we
Speaker 1: don't need the upside. I don't need to finish first
Speaker 1: in a guillotine league. I just need to not be last.
Speaker 1: And I need somebody's gonna consistently score points. And that's
Speaker 1: what Jared Goff didlast year, and that's presumably what he'll
Speaker 1: do this year, you know, aided by a very good
Speaker 1: offensive line, which helps a lot. Although I went back
Speaker 1: to their PFF rankings. As a pass blocking unit, Lin's
Speaker 1: ranked I believe twenty first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that shocked me.
Speaker 3: I think I saw that too, But then I kind
Speaker 3: of dug into like some of the other stats. So
Speaker 3: Golf was actually sacked a second least of any quarterback
Speaker 3: with fourteen plus games played. The only guy below him
Speaker 3: was Tom Brady, who just does not want to get touched.
Speaker 2: He's gonna throw away, so so good stat for that.
Speaker 3: And then it was only pressured on nineteen percent of throws,
Speaker 3: which was ninth best among quarterbacks with fourteen plus games played.
Speaker 2: So two good stats for him there.
Speaker 3: In terms of the offensive line, I mean, we know
Speaker 3: the guys on the offensive line are just they're good guys.
Speaker 3: So I feel confident about then I feel confident about
Speaker 3: the skill guys. We got a mon Ra and you
Speaker 3: got those two headed running back of Swift and Montgomery.
Speaker 3: We both said on the pass micro that we think
Speaker 3: Montgomery is going to be better than Jamal Williams. And
Speaker 3: then the Marvin Jones signing for them could be huge
Speaker 3: considering Jamison. That's probably why they brought him in because
Speaker 3: they know Jamison was going to be out six, so
Speaker 3: they brought it Martin Jones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe they've known for a while. That could be true.
Speaker 1: It could be true. All right, So GoF from a
Speaker 1: dynasty perspective, he's never going to be a sexy dynasty guy.
Speaker 1: He's now old er. He's not old, but he's now
Speaker 1: an older quarterback. But he's still got like five six
Speaker 1: good years left in him. Ideally, in my superflex, i'd
Speaker 1: like to have him and then some high upside rushing
Speaker 1: guy as a you know, I'd love to have him
Speaker 1: as my safety quarterback that I start every week. And
Speaker 1: then I've got my Justin Fields as a high upside,
Speaker 1: high downside kind of guy as my other quarterback. That
Speaker 1: would be That may be my ideal pairing for those two,
Speaker 1: let's talk. Let's talk ADP for Jared Goff currently going
Speaker 1: off the board. It's quarterback fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's play the game. This is now.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a very fun game because all of
Speaker 3: these guys kind of have their like following and who
Speaker 3: they think is going to be good.
Speaker 2: So let's start off with Dak Prescott at QB ten.
Speaker 1: Am I subtracting for interceptions?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Well, then I can't take Prescott here if I'm subtracting
Speaker 1: for interceptions. Guys, tits too many picks and you know, granted,
Speaker 1: it's not like he has four pick games, and maybe
Speaker 1: it's just a lot of just dumb but high bad
Speaker 1: spots for his picks. I hate that stuff. So I
Speaker 1: might go golf over Prescott just to play it, just
Speaker 1: to play it safe. Yeah, I might.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, Daniel Jones a little bit more rushing upside
Speaker 3: QB twelve.
Speaker 1: I take Jones for the rushing upside. I get the
Speaker 1: quarterback who ran for the fourth most yards last year,
Speaker 1: and the passing can only get better, right, it can
Speaker 1: only get better, has to Yeah, Darren Waller Loan makes
Speaker 1: that offense better?
Speaker 2: Is Darren Waller going to stay on the field. Let's
Speaker 2: hope so, all right. Kirk Cousins QB thirteen.
Speaker 1: Always Belieguered Kirk Cousins. I think Cousins was better last
Speaker 1: year than Golf. I'm taking Cousins, that's fair.
Speaker 2: No, I agree that he was better at last year.
Speaker 3: Do you think Kirk Cousins is still on the Vikings
Speaker 3: this season going to San Francisco?
Speaker 2: Maybe.
Speaker 1: I don't think he is going to go to San Francisco,
Speaker 1: but Vikings do have a chance to invest a serious
Speaker 1: pick at quarterback.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like the Kirk Cousins the San Francisco trade
Speaker 3: has been talked about for three years.
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened yet. I'm not buying it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: They got Rock Perdy who looked great.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna give They're not given anything, and they
Speaker 3: have Sam Darnold who looked great.
Speaker 1: The people that are pushing the Kirk Cousins in San
Speaker 1: Francisco narrative are the many many Viking fans that want
Speaker 1: him out of town.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't think he'll be on the Rock. I don't
Speaker 3: think he'll be the starting quarterback going into next season.
Speaker 2: I think he's gone Vikings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is the this is last year here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Aaron Rodgers QB fifteen.
Speaker 1: Man, if you knew for sure he's gonna be with
Speaker 1: the Jets, which I think you will, let's just assume,
Speaker 1: you know. I just the receiving weapons are so open up,
Speaker 1: so many possibilities for Rodgers. But man, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of weirdness there. I'm I'm out on Rodgers. He looked bad.
Speaker 1: Now granted he had the broken thumb or whatever, the
Speaker 1: thumb injury, but that those passes looked way wrong last year.
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm not taking Rodgers. I'll take Jared Goff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in on golf too. On at that price
Speaker 2: for Rodgers. And then Gino Smith.
Speaker 3: QB sixteen and he finishes like the could be like
Speaker 3: eight or something, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And he's kind of going down lower again.
Speaker 1: You gotta do him one of these times, you know, Smith,
Speaker 1: Let's do that. I come back story is incredible, It
Speaker 1: is incredible. Yeah, I totally improbable. I think I go
Speaker 1: Geno Smith. You get a little bit of rushing, not
Speaker 1: a lot. You get a little bit of rushing in there.
Speaker 1: You got two great receivers they'll Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: think I'd go Gino Smith. He was probably he was
Speaker 1: better than Golf last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going with Geno on that too. I think
Speaker 3: just because they have his d K and Lockett and
Speaker 3: they might draw somebody this year too. He's got Kenneth
Speaker 3: Walker in a great wrong game kind of the same,
Speaker 3: very similar situation that Goff is with the Lions, but
Speaker 3: some at Geno Smith. He's on a one year deal too,
Speaker 3: pretty much. I mean, I know he's on a three
Speaker 3: year deal, but it's pretty much a one year deal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you'll get all the guaranteed money in the cap it.
Speaker 3: He's on a one year deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but which I wish he could have, you know,
Speaker 1: for his sake, I wish he could have cashed that
Speaker 1: in for something a little better. But yeah, Seahawks are
Speaker 1: a sneaky team to go quarterback at the pick they
Speaker 1: got Denver's page. I picked six right. That's a sneaky
Speaker 1: landing spot for a quarterback right there, and then they
Speaker 1: invest in the future.
Speaker 2: I am totally on board for the Richardson to Richardson Seattle.
Speaker 1: I know me too too. That would be great for
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. All right, great job, thanks for listening, everybody.
