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. It's Fantasy Football Weekly Micro Edition.
Speaker 1: I am Paul Chargian. Co host is Tyler Kinnable, Guyantine
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com writer. Hi, Tyler. Oh, you've been my
Speaker 1: co host for all these micro editions, which has been great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been great. I've been having fun doing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, We've had a lot of fun. Just to let
Speaker 1: people know about how this week is going to go down,
Speaker 1: We're we're going to have a big draft show that
Speaker 1: I may release earlier than Friday because we're going to
Speaker 1: record it in a couple of days or record it midweeks,
Speaker 1: so I may release it a little bit early. I
Speaker 1: believe we're going to have a draft expert, thor Nystrom
Speaker 1: on which is going to be great. Thought is an
Speaker 1: amazing job, and we're going to break down all the rookies.
Speaker 1: These micro shows is not it's not rookie stuff that
Speaker 1: we're doing veterans and now that the draft has happened,
Speaker 1: we can sort of crystallize on some guys that were
Speaker 1: winners in this year's draft.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and one of the winners this year is was
Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco, who finished as the RB thirty five last
Speaker 2: year and is currently going off the board as RB
Speaker 2: twenty two. Now. To note, they did not draft anybody
Speaker 2: at running back, but as of we're recording this today,
Speaker 2: they just signed Jack McKinnon back to the backfield, so
Speaker 2: that kind of it gives you a good sample size.
Speaker 2: And we've seen what Pacheco has been with Jack McKinnon
Speaker 2: in the mix, So I do like that about the
Speaker 2: whole situation.
Speaker 1: And McKinnon obviously proved himself to be very valuable pass
Speaker 1: receiving back at the end of last year December and beyond.
Speaker 1: And that's not Pacheco's game. We'll talk more about that
Speaker 1: as we look at his at his season. Obviously he
Speaker 1: was not the starter at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: As a seventh round Brookie had to earn his way
Speaker 1: and bait Well Clyde orders Jolier had to fail his
Speaker 1: way to the point that eventually they just went, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're just gonna go with the Pacheco.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's interesting because I mean, Clydie is still
Speaker 2: gonna be in the mix. Seemingly this upcoming season. Maybe
Speaker 2: he's still on the roster. So it is today he
Speaker 2: is today, you're right, But you're right when he did
Speaker 2: get that the job a week eleven and onwards, he
Speaker 2: would these are his art his finishes weekly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, Pachecko's yes, Pochecko's flyight edwards Hilaire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was the average running back twenty one,
Speaker 2: which is his weekly average, but it was twenty two, sixteen, fifteen, nineteen,
Speaker 2: thirty two, twenty eight, seventeen, nineteen.
Speaker 1: And what's killed Pachecko? So, I mean, no number higher
Speaker 1: than fifteenth, never finished higher than fifteen in any given week.
Speaker 1: For Pachecko, what kills him is volume and the lack
Speaker 1: of receptions. He's never gonna have. He's never gonna be
Speaker 1: much of a helper in PPR unless something strange comes
Speaker 1: together here and the other thing and maybe there's rain.
Speaker 2: Get better.
Speaker 1: This year, the touchdowns didn't really come to him, even
Speaker 1: though he is a bigger backup and call him a
Speaker 1: power back, but he's he's somebody who could be a
Speaker 1: capable back at the goal line. Maybe in year two
Speaker 1: he gets a little more confidence from Andy Reid about
Speaker 1: getting the ball to stripe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, So kind of looking I kind of
Speaker 2: broke down his just his rushing stats as a total.
Speaker 2: So he was eighth in rushing yards over expected per attempt,
Speaker 2: which is a really good number. I mean eighth in
Speaker 2: the league. Yeah, all those guys above him were top
Speaker 2: tier guys inside the ten yard line. He was fourteenth
Speaker 2: in rushing attempts. He had twenty attempts, and then all
Speaker 2: the guys above him in that range were like top
Speaker 2: twelve running backs that are currently going in ADP right now,
Speaker 2: so they're like big name kind of guys. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: he only had he had five touchdowns from inside the ten.
Speaker 2: He had five touchdown on the season, so all of
Speaker 2: those touchdowns inside the tent came inside the ten. But
Speaker 2: he was also twenty seventh in attempts from the five,
Speaker 2: which I thought was interesting. And it kind of matches
Speaker 2: up when you watch the Sheeps play. They're doing all
Speaker 2: this wacky stuff, like these ring like Merry go Round
Speaker 2: type of out of the huddle, and then they're doing
Speaker 2: these wacky red zone plays. So maybe I don't know
Speaker 2: if that.
Speaker 1: Shovel pass from the one yard now, yeah, nobody does
Speaker 1: that except Andy Reid and Patrick maholl exactly.
Speaker 2: So it's I wonder if it's maybe maybe it's not
Speaker 2: a checko. Maybe they just love to do this wacky
Speaker 2: kind of stuff and that maybe that doesn't involve the checko.
Speaker 2: It's not New England where Belichick he's gonna be like,
Speaker 2: all right, five yard line, just hand the ball off,
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I mentioned the receiving prowess is not there
Speaker 1: for Isaiah Pachecko. Thirteen catches in seventeen games. You don't
Speaker 1: want to be at you know, half a catch a game.
Speaker 1: That's no helper and that just caps his upside. So
Speaker 1: for me that you know, Pachecko to me is forever
Speaker 1: kind of RB two this year. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: in RB one on any any team that that has
Speaker 1: points per reception.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's not going to give you anything
Speaker 2: through the air, which you mentioned. It totally caps his upside,
Speaker 2: which is really tough. So and when you look at
Speaker 2: the depth chart here, I mean it's c h RB two,
Speaker 2: maybe McKinnon RB three, and then we gotle Michael p
Speaker 2: r on RB four. So we're not gonna it's not
Speaker 2: a fact, we're not gonna have a lot of running
Speaker 2: backs that are going to take work away Pachecko on
Speaker 2: the ground, which is I mean, if you trust the offense,
Speaker 2: you trust obviously we trust exactly the offense. Yes, I mean,
Speaker 2: having the RB one in the Casey offense is still
Speaker 2: a good guy to have. It's just you're not going
Speaker 2: to get anything higher than RB probably fifteen this season
Speaker 2: unless he has an absurd amount of touchdowns, which I
Speaker 2: don't think is gonna happen given the red zone prowess
Speaker 2: that Kelsey can be, and then maybe some of these
Speaker 2: new receivers can kind of pick it up as well.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, in a typical league that's
Speaker 1: got typical twelve team league, you've got three or four sharps,
Speaker 1: You've got you know, five or six guys who pay,
Speaker 1: you know, and not just guys, guys and gals pay
Speaker 1: some attention, and then you got three or four teams
Speaker 1: that you know, really aren't paying attention very closely. I
Speaker 1: think there's always somebody that's going to pay more for
Speaker 1: Pacheco just because he's the RB one on the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, the Chief's gonna score over
Speaker 1: the most points of the league, So I want their
Speaker 1: running back. I don't think those people are going to
Speaker 1: be are going to be as aware of the limitations
Speaker 1: that Pacheco gives you with what he can do and
Speaker 1: also the middling volume. You know, he this is just
Speaker 1: not a team that's got like power back that's gonna
Speaker 1: run the ball twenty one times in a game. That's
Speaker 1: just not Andy Reid's style.
Speaker 2: And I think people are gonna remember him in the
Speaker 2: playoffs and him in the super Bowl just being this, oh,
Speaker 2: look at like he did good in the in the
Speaker 2: playoffs in super Bowl, so be able to remember that
Speaker 2: kind of like how they did with uh was it
Speaker 2: Lagerret Blunt? I think with the with the Eagles, how
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, look at him during the or it
Speaker 2: was that no Is Sony Michelle with the Patriots, Yeah,
Speaker 2: killed in that postseason, and they're just gonna think he's
Speaker 2: gonna do.
Speaker 1: That promptly Michelle the rest of the year. Who's going
Speaker 1: around Pacheco in ADP right now?
Speaker 2: So right now, what's played the ADP game? We got
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce. Damian Pierce. I love Damian Pierce.
Speaker 1: He is one of my favorite players in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and he is a way way more talented back than
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco. And I believe Houston is. If you ask
Speaker 1: me to pick one team that's gonna improve the most
Speaker 1: from last year to this year, Houston I wins. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm on Damian Pierce.
Speaker 2: I'm with you too. I'm definitely on Damian Pierce just
Speaker 2: because he's going to He's going to be more of
Speaker 2: a focal point in the offense than Pacheco. Ever, will
Speaker 2: be absolutely all right. Rashad White another winner of the draft.
Speaker 2: We talked about him already on micro but we did.
Speaker 2: He was a big winner of the draft.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people thought he would get some.
Speaker 1: He would get some somebody in the draft would would
Speaker 1: end up in Tampa. But Dampa's got so many needs.
Speaker 1: The Tampa offense could be one of the five lowest
Speaker 1: scoring offenses in the league.
Speaker 2: They really could be. I mean with Baker at though,
Speaker 2: with the help.
Speaker 1: With Baker there, right, you've got an aging Mike Evans.
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin's a good player, but not somebody who powers
Speaker 1: a whole offense. I don't know. I'm nervous about that offense.
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with Isaiah Pacheco.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Risha. Why because I think he has
Speaker 2: some passing upside that is going to be totally point.
Speaker 1: And just for the PPR that Rashad White gets, he
Speaker 1: might be better.
Speaker 2: This could be like a bad team. We're just gonna
Speaker 2: run the ball and just feed, like, just feed one
Speaker 2: guy in our offense, and it might be a shot White.
Speaker 2: So that could be yeah, and that JK. Dobbins kind
Speaker 2: of a similar role with Pacheco and guy doesn't catch
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 2: Greg Roman also won't be there, so it's not gonna
Speaker 2: be this heavy run attack that I think everyone expects
Speaker 2: with the Ravens.
Speaker 1: Hm A JK. Dobbins apologist. I'm sticking with him cause
Speaker 1: I think he's a more talented, better back in a
Speaker 1: run heavy offense. I'm sticking with I'm rolling with Dobbins too. Yeah, yeah, Dynasty,
Speaker 1: what's your long term forecast in Isaiah Pacheco?
Speaker 2: See, actually just trade him away in a Dynasty league. Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: You remember what you got for him?
Speaker 2: I do. It was a straight up trade. It was
Speaker 2: Isaiah Checko for Pat Friar youth because I was just
Speaker 2: totally out on I had. I also had no tight end.
Speaker 2: But I was just like, they're they're gonna draft someone.
Speaker 2: I was wrong, but be he just doesn't have that
Speaker 2: upside that I'm looking for and Pat pat Rymans is fine,
Speaker 2: so I'll take him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, except they just drafted another tight end exactly. Darnell
Speaker 1: Washington is one of my favorites, and they they landed.
Speaker 2: I think that he fell kind of says something about
Speaker 2: Darnel watching it like he's a freak. But Kenny play
Speaker 2: tight end. We know he's huge and he can run,
Speaker 2: but Kenny actually plays.
Speaker 1: See him after the catch.
Speaker 2: I've seen him after the catch with a cab. I
Speaker 2: love that guy. He might be like a freak, but
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's like a technician route runner
Speaker 2: that you're looking for.
Speaker 1: That's true. That part we don't know about, So that
Speaker 1: is that is totally fair.
Speaker 2: I'll roll with Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for listening to Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: Micro Edition. We'll be back tomorrow as we break down.
Speaker 1: Oh we got that tomorrow, Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.
