1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: You found Fantasy Football Weekly Micro, a deep dive on

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: one player in just five to ten minutes. Now here's

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: your host, Paul. It's Fantasy Football Weekly Micro edition. I'm

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: Paul Charchian, my co host Tyler Kennably Guillotine Leagues dot Com.

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Who are we talking about today? Little Travis

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: et N Jacksonville Jaguars. All right, we're gonna break down

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Travis Etn. I feel like this season didn't pan out

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: the way people thought it was going to based on

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: all the hype in the preseason. For Travis Etn. It

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: definitely didn't in the first half. So he was being

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: drafted or he finishes the RB twenty four last season

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: average points a game, he's going off the boards RB twelve,

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: so fifty like half of his stock up there. So,

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: like I said, there's the tale of two halves for him.

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: The weeks one through six kind of James Robinson factor there, Yes,

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: and only had which was baffling by the way. He

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: had only one fifteen plus touch game, zero twenty plus

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: touch games and was the RB twenty eight and average

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: points per game. Yeah, and it here's James Robinson coming

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: off in Achilles and they pounded James Robinson a bunch

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: early in the season. Yeah, then they benched him and

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: they traded him away. I'm like, what are you doing?

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: It was the usage was so weird for Etn and Robinson.

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: But then after week six, Week seven through seventeen, Etn

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: had seven fifteen plus touch games, four twenty plus touch

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: games and was the RB fifteen and average points per game. Okay,

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: I would contend if you're telling me that most of

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: his games the rest of the season were fifteen twenty

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: touch games should have been higher than RB fifteen. I agree,

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: And I think the reason it wasn't was because he

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: really wasn't catching a lot of passes. Yeah, And that

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: was the big thing coming out of college for him,

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 1: is he he has senior season, he had forty eight catches,

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: five hundred eighty eight yards like averages, four catches, forty

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: nine yards per game. That's great number. That's a great

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: number for our college running back. And last season he

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: only had thirty five receptions and which was twenty third

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: among running backs. And the other problem is he's going

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns. He only had five total touchdowns

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: last season, zero of which we're receiving touchdowns. So I

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: just I don't know what to do with that. I

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: think maybe it's because there's so many miles that feed

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: in that offense, but but not in the backfield. Now,

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: in the backfield, yes, Snoop Connor, who I was optimistic about,

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: had zero impact on that on that team, and they

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: traded away James Robinson. Now you can make a case

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: that they're gonna score more rushing touchdowns. They're not gonna.

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, they're not gonna, but they probably scored ten

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: as a team. You know, if if they scored more

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, Etn's gotta get most of those. Based on

51
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: who's on roster right now, right, I would say so

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: in terms of the running back kind of perception is.

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean they added to Ernest Johnson in free agency. Yes,

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy, He's okay. They still have Snoop Connor.

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they still have Ja Michael Hessey.

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: They might, but he's not changed in really anything in

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: terms of the backfield, certainly not as a touchdown. Yeah,

58
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: ETN had most of all I the red zone carries,

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Like I don't there was never like a time where

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: like oh, Ja Michael Hasy got a one year touchdown

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: that just didn't happen. So I think Lawrence actually a

62
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of quite a bit of QB sneaks, which meant

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: it might have been in is He's got some sneaky wheels. Yeah, Lawrence,

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: and he's like six six, so he's a great QB

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: sneak guy. So but you gotta have the ball at

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: the one yard line? Yeah for that, yep, right, but

67
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: like like, but that's why I think James Connor is

68
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: so good because Kyler's not running a QB sneak at

69
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: the one yard line. That's why James Connor five elevens.

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: Being general, that is generous. But yeah, I think the

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: one thing back to the reception is real quick is

72
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: Jacksonville was fifth in fifth worst in percentage of targets

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: to running backs at fourteen percent in a Doug Peterson offense.

74
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: That's weird exactly, and the only teams that were worse

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: were the Eagles, Rams, Ravens, Vikings. Wow. So the Jaguars

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: and Travis etn can get better two ways. One is

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: he can catch more because he is he is a

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: proven pass catching asset. And then the second is he

79
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: can score more. And I just think if if you

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: played out this coming season one hundred times, I think

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: both of those numbers go up from last year. I

82
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: don't know eighty times out of one hundred that Etn

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: will catch more and he'll score more. And but that's

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: being baked into his ADP right now. Is RB twelve

85
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: coming off in RB twenty fourth season exactly? I think RB,

86
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: like when you do the math, you're like, Okay, he

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: finishes RB twenty four. But if you're gonna give him

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: all those touches, you're gonna really like him. I think

89
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: when you start to get it, like look into who's

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: kind of around him, it gets a bit more interesting.

91
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: But I think one thing I want to touch him

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: before he play the ADP game is they added Calvin

93
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Ridley in this offense. There are just so many pieces

94
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to feed, at least through the air.

95
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: They have Ridley, they have Ingram's coming back. Berk Zay

96
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: Jones isn't a bad option either. Like there are so

97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: many guys who are gonna want this ball in this

98
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: Jackson offense. And I think Trevor Lawrence can kind of

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: like fuel that offense, like he can be the anchor

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: where he can make some of these guys fantasy relevant.

101
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: But to say that Travis Etn is gonna catch like

102
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: eighty passes, I don't think it's really well, no, but

103
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: he can catch a lot more the thirty five thirty

104
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: five turn into fifty. I just don't think there's that

105
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: that Alvin Kamara, Christian McCaffrey, Austin Eckler upside with Etn

106
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: even though he is a great receiving back. Let's talk

107
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: about Dynasty and Empire leagues for Travis Etan. It feels

108
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: like to me, I'm more intrigued with Etn in Dynasty

109
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: and Empire because you're investing in a young, talented offense

110
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: and I like doing that, and there's so little competition

111
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: for Travis Etan. Do you like him? Do you like

112
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: Etan more or lesser? About the same based on his

113
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: ADP right now as RB twelve, I love him way

114
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: more in terms of Dynasty specifically, just because he's so

115
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: young and he only has one NFL seed under his

116
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: belt and we already know that he's good. He kind

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: of got to treat him like a like a rookie

118
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: because last year, what's kind of his rookie year, Because

119
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: he missed the one prior with that foot injury, but

120
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I really like him in Dynasty. I think he's a

121
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: great asset to go out and trade force, but especially

122
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: if you're rebuilding, he can be kind of like a

123
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: core anchor of your dynasty or league. I'm I'm, I don't,

124
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know if I'm ready to say core

125
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: anchor for Travis Etn. But he's a guy I want

126
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: on my Dynasty team. I don't know if I'm gonna

127
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: build a team around him exactly, but I like him

128
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: a lot. All right, let's play the ADP game. Who

129
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: else is going around running back twelve? Let's do it,

130
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs RB ten. Would you take Etn over Josh

131
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: Jacobs just for the season. I think I gotta go

132
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: with Jacob's based on the season he's coming off of.

133
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: And while I don't love that totality of that offense

134
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: very much, Jimmy Garoppolo leading the way here, but I

135
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: know they're gonna just run him into the ground just

136
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: like they did last year. To the usage it's going

137
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: to be so high on Jacobs, I'd go Jacobs, all right.

138
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Your guy, Tony Pollard RB eleven on a previous one

139
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: of these, we talked about Tony Pollard as having the

140
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: upside of being RB one the highest scoring running back.

141
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: So until they draft somebody else, which I think they will,

142
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm going Tony Pollard, all right, your guy also over

143
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: Mondre Stevenson. I love Dre Stevenson. You're hitting all my

144
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: favorite players. Stevenson's got that backfield to himself, and I

145
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: think he's a special player. So I'm taking Romandre Stevenson

146
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: over Travis Etn all right, Naji Harris RB fourteen. I

147
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: don't like what I saw last year from Harris. Nobody does.

148
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: Granted he got better in December. We broke him down

149
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: on a previous Fantasy Football Weekly micro edition. I think

150
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: I'd still take I'm gonna take Etn here because I

151
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: don't think the situation has materially changed in Pittsburgh from

152
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: last year. It's kind of insane that drop off from

153
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: it goes from Jacob's Pollard Romandre, then the next one

154
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: is Naji Harris. Yeah, that feel like tear drop, and

155
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: then all right, under Naji Harris is gonna be Dalvin Cook.

156
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Let's say he's on the Vikings RB fifteen. I see obviously,

157
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Dalvin cookes rby five at this time last year.

158
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: Everybody assumes he's going to be off the Vikings and

159
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: in some other situation, which is probably too that. I

160
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: can't imagine the Vikings Vikings right now, seventeen million dollars

161
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: locked into the running backs. That's not gonna hold up.

162
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Something's gonna change. He's better than Alexander Madison. If he

163
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: stays in Minnesota, he probably has a season not dissimilar

164
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: to last year. He didn't catch much in this offense,

165
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: which was frustrating. I'm gonna go Travis Ctn over Dalvin Cook.

166
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, And let's let's say Dalvin Cook in.

167
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I made the Miami thing in a recent episode, and

168
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: I actually said the Miami try to trade for him,

169
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: which I didn't know. I just threw out a team.

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: But I think, if do you think it's more like

171
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: that Dalvin Cook gets cut or that he gets traded.

172
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely he gets traded for something.

173
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings, I think, will find a way

174
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: to get something for him. It'll have to rework his deal.

175
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: Wherever he goes. Nobody, nobody included the Vikings, will pay

176
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: him what his contracts worth right now. Yeah, I mean

177
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: so overall, I feel like we're pretty high on ETN.

178
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: We are higher than I thought I guess going into it.

179
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: But based on where you've got him, I've got Jacob's Pollard,

180
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: Romandre Stevenson, I'll hire that brings us to thirteen. That

181
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: means I'm slotting in Travis CTN right around running back fourteen.

182
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: He's the only guy far off as adp exactly. The

183
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: only guy you would take over him that was below

184
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: RB twelve is Ormandre ad RB thirteen. So yeah, yeah,

185
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: I think I think the people have got it about right. Yeah,

186
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: just watch out for Bijan to the Patriots. I guess

187
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: hearing some buds there. Romandre might not be the guy.

188
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening. Well, I've got a great

189
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: running back Stevens. It's gonna be so interesting where he goes,

190
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: because it's just gonna ruin somebody's fantasy team. You know,

191
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna ruin. It's it's gonna be Joe Mixon's gonna

192
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: be the ruin. I'm continuing to contend that there would

193
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: be the man. Maybe I just I just want it

194
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: to happen. I'm gonna just try to will it to

195
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: happen from from my kitchen. Yeah, all right, thank you
