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 another edition of Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly Micro. I am Paul Charchi and my co host.
Speaker 1: As has been usual for these Tyler Kannaba League Guillotine
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com writer, Hey.
Speaker 2: Tyler, ready to get it going today?
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you threw out the suggestion for today's player,
Speaker 1: my first thought was, I don't know that there's enough
Speaker 1: meat on the bone. I don't know if there's tough
Speaker 1: talk about Then I went back and looked at the
Speaker 1: season for Jahan Dotson. I'm like, wow, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: this is way more compelling than I thought.
Speaker 3: It's kind of crazy because he went in like the
Speaker 3: middle round of the NFL Draft and nobody was talking
Speaker 3: about him as a first run receiver. I think I
Speaker 3: got him at pick sixteen in my Dynasty startup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he went he's a first run receiver. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Amazing.
Speaker 1: How unheralded he was both I think for the draft
Speaker 1: and then Dynasty drafters and then you know the landing.
Speaker 1: The spot was a lot of it, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: like Washington Man Tayo Taylor Heineke throwing him passes, and
Speaker 1: I think people were nervous about that, but it quietly
Speaker 1: kind of came together at the end of the year
Speaker 1: for John Dotson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a really kind of nice season just
Speaker 2: as a rookie.
Speaker 3: I mean, he finishes the wide receiver forty three and
Speaker 3: average points per game, which isn't all that good. But
Speaker 3: he's currently going off the board as the wide receiver
Speaker 3: forty one right now, so you're not not here to
Speaker 3: pay a big price for him at all or anything.
Speaker 3: But right he had four touchdowns in his first four games.
Speaker 3: That was kind of what kind of burst him onto
Speaker 3: the scene. He finished with seventh total And one of
Speaker 3: the nice little nuggets that I found was he actually
Speaker 3: had the seventh highest passer rating when targeted against man coverage,
Speaker 3: which is a really nice staff for him.
Speaker 1: That is a nice stat for somebody who's a little
Speaker 1: bit younger, and you want to be able to look
Speaker 1: point at some point at some development and figure out
Speaker 1: things he can do. If John Dotson can beat man coverage,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good indicator that against his peers. Some
Speaker 1: cornerback some NFL did a level cornerback that Johan Dotson
Speaker 1: can beat that guy, which I like. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: his December weeks thirteen through sixteen.
Speaker 4: What did he do?
Speaker 3: Yeah, in week thirteen, I mean he had a nice
Speaker 3: kind of stretch of three games to end this season
Speaker 3: out He had nine targets in week thirteen for five catches,
Speaker 3: fifty four yards and a touchdown. Week fourteen, he was
Speaker 3: on the buy comes out of the by six targets,
Speaker 3: four catches, one hundred five yards in a touchdown. Next week,
Speaker 3: week sixteen in the playoffs, if you started him, nine targets,
Speaker 3: six catches, seventy six yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 4: So all right, we like that.
Speaker 1: We will take three December touchdowns out of out of
Speaker 1: four games for John Dotson. That part was that part
Speaker 1: was impressive. He played out wide primarily.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another part like about his game.
Speaker 3: It's kind of considering the receivers that are in like
Speaker 3: in this year's draft, lass kind of knock on him
Speaker 3: like there's no outside guys. So for him to play
Speaker 3: seventy three percent of his snaps out wide, he's got
Speaker 3: twenty six percent in the slides. Got experience kind of
Speaker 3: doing both of those things that you like to see
Speaker 3: out of a receiver and some of the circuits catches
Speaker 3: that he was making last season. I remember distinctly one
Speaker 3: in the end zone, which just a one hand snag.
Speaker 2: Oh like, it was a beautiful catch.
Speaker 3: And I just think he's just this under the radar
Speaker 3: guar right now no one's really talking about. And I'm
Speaker 3: kind of in on Johan Dawson just like I know
Speaker 3: he hasn't really put it all together yet, but we've
Speaker 3: seen kind of, like we mentioned those those last three
Speaker 3: weeks of this season, we've seen kind of this production
Speaker 3: of what he can be if he can kind of
Speaker 3: put it all together as the number two behind Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1: So clearly pushing down John Dotson's average draft position. Is
Speaker 1: the quarterbacking situation in Washington, Yeah, right, Sam Howell and
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Sam Howell started one game in Week eighteen.
Speaker 3: He was eleven for nineteen, one hundred and sixty nine yards,
Speaker 3: one touchdown, in play interception. So that's let's say that's
Speaker 3: wouldn't say it's ideal to say the least, And.
Speaker 1: Then but they apparently we're are we ready to annoint
Speaker 1: Sam Howelder starter for this season based on one.
Speaker 4: Game and they couldn't get him on the field until
Speaker 4: the last week of the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they must see it on what they like, and
Speaker 3: I don't know, in practice kind of maybe see there's
Speaker 3: some Patrick Mahomes like stuff going on.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You know, if that were the case, they'd have gotten
Speaker 4: him on the field earlier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett may end up being your your starting quarterback
Speaker 1: when everything is said and done. And Jacoby Brissette was
Speaker 1: able to power Amark Cooper to a very good season
Speaker 1: last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when Jacoby Brissette was the starter in
Speaker 3: weeks one through twelve, Amark Cooper was the wide receiver eight.
Speaker 3: So pretty good we've seen from Jacoby were said that
Speaker 3: he can kind of make a wide receiver I mean
Speaker 3: the wide receiver one at least into a very fantasy
Speaker 3: relevant kind of player though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And while we're talking about wide receiver one, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about Terry McLaurin because I'm not convinced
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin is the go to number one receiver on
Speaker 1: this team. If Johan Dotson gets a little bit better.
Speaker 1: We know Terry McLain's a good receiver, but every year,
Speaker 1: he's eighty catches eleven hundred yards. That's not one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten catches for fifteen hundred yards. You know, McLaurin
Speaker 1: is a good receiver. I don't know that he's so
Speaker 1: good that Johan Dotson can't pass him by a spec
Speaker 1: actually in fantasy production, because we've already seen Dotson be
Speaker 1: a touchdown score that Terry McLaurin has never proven himself
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 3: So you're saying you think that Johan Dotson could pass
Speaker 3: Terry McLaurin like this season, like as the number one. Yes,
Speaker 3: that's kind of that's kind of like a hot take.
Speaker 2: I'd say, take.
Speaker 4: Well, the warm take.
Speaker 1: It's a warm take, and it's mostly just because we've
Speaker 1: got three straight seasons of Terry McLaurin proving that he's
Speaker 1: eighty catches in one hundred eleven hundred yards.
Speaker 4: Okay, I could.
Speaker 3: I like Johan Dotson as much as like the next guy,
Speaker 3: But Terry McCain's also never had a quarterback. I think
Speaker 3: that's kind of the thing that's holding him back. I
Speaker 3: think if you put you Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1: You just said we shouldn't ding Johan Dotson because he's
Speaker 1: got Sam Howell.
Speaker 2: And Jacoby Brissette and say that did I Well.
Speaker 4: Not exactly. I think you inferred it.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying you said if you I think if
Speaker 3: you put Terry McLaurin on, let's just say the Chargers
Speaker 3: for example, you're play saying out with Keenan Allen, who
Speaker 3: do you think does does better?
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin or Keenan Allen.
Speaker 1: Well, if you get I'll take Keenan Allen if he
Speaker 1: if he's actually healthy, the whole you know, the whole season.
Speaker 1: But you know, I just think McLaurin is a B
Speaker 1: plus receiver.
Speaker 3: B plus is a fair great I think I think
Speaker 3: Keenan Allton's like a B plus receiver as well.
Speaker 2: I don't know if John Dotts.
Speaker 4: You is gonna go to the Hall of Fame. Possibly
Speaker 4: you think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know he's a Hall of Fame receiver.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think he's gonna, he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be close. Okay, John Dotts, I think
Speaker 1: you're entitled. Disagree, Johan Dotson. Is you get first round pedigree? Right,
Speaker 1: we get we know we can score touchdowns. You put
Speaker 1: up seven in your rookie year. That is very good,
Speaker 1: and especially on the small number of receptions that he had.
Speaker 1: I love the touchdown to target ratio. I just think
Speaker 1: Dodson's got a chance to be, if not the team's
Speaker 1: number one receiver, he's the team's number one fantasy receiver.
Speaker 2: Mmmm. Okay.
Speaker 4: So you're as early as this year for John Dotson, So.
Speaker 2: You're buying him at what ADP? What is it? Forty one? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why does he for forty one? Right now?
Speaker 4: Almost certainly? Yes, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be forty other receivers I
Speaker 1: like more than John Dotson.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, who's going around that spot?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Well, let's play the game ADP. Game started off, we
Speaker 3: got Traylon Burks. Why is hever thirty nine?
Speaker 2: Mm?
Speaker 1: Boy, it's hard to be enthused about his.
Speaker 4: Season last year. Yeah, I think I'd go Dotson.
Speaker 1: And you know, particularly not Washington could change added the
Speaker 1: quarterback position, which would change this dynamic a lot.
Speaker 4: Sokn Tennessee for that matter. All right, So I'll go Dotson.
Speaker 2: All right, Brannan Cooks. Why deceiver forty?
Speaker 4: Uh? Okay? So obviously in Dallas?
Speaker 1: Now for Brandon Cooks, he's gonna have Ceedee Lamb is
Speaker 1: the go to guy. I think i'd go with the
Speaker 1: upside of John Dotson.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I'm gonna go Brandan Cooks just because
Speaker 3: there's really no I mean, you got Gallup and that's it.
Speaker 3: And Cede Lamb obviously, but as the wideceiver too, I
Speaker 3: think Brandon Cooks is the guy.
Speaker 1: Until they go Michael Mayer in the first round at
Speaker 1: tight end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's favorite projection from last year, Gabe Davis wide
Speaker 3: deceiver forty two.
Speaker 1: If it didn't come together last year, why would.
Speaker 4: It this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, look, if you can find kind
Speaker 1: your spots on Gabe Davis obviously, great, more power to
Speaker 1: you when to start him. But when you don't start,
Speaker 1: you know, but when he doesn't go off, you get nothing.
Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody's benefited off one game more
Speaker 3: than gave Davis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding, all right.
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton wide receiver forty three, this is where we
Speaker 2: kind of get start to get in like that muddy
Speaker 2: range not interested.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we've wanted Courtland Sutton to be
Speaker 1: better for so long and it just doesn't come together
Speaker 1: between injury and just lackluster performance. He's just a guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm mount on Sutton as well.
Speaker 3: Last one Rashad Bateman, Wide receiver forty four.
Speaker 1: As it stands right now, Bateman's an incredibly important part
Speaker 1: of that passing offense because they have virtually nobody else
Speaker 1: to throw too. So I'm i'm I think I would
Speaker 1: go back on Bateman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I would go back.
Speaker 1: I think I go back to Bateman as it stands
Speaker 1: right now, because there is a lot of upside there,
Speaker 1: and Bateman, for the whatever five games we got out
Speaker 1: of him last year, looked pretty good.
Speaker 2: I think I like Babman. I think I go Dotson.
Speaker 4: They can understand that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh the two What part of this is your
Speaker 1: personal risk? Your risk tolerance level? My risk tolerance is
Speaker 1: like nine out of ten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so, I think all these guys in
Speaker 3: this range are kind of risky. They all have I mean,
Speaker 3: that's why they're going so why they're down here in
Speaker 3: the wh fortius range. But they all kind of have
Speaker 3: something to their game. And I think if you're looking
Speaker 3: for the upside guys, it'd be like Dots and Berks
Speaker 3: and Bateman would be like the Big three.
Speaker 1: I would say in Dynasty I'm buying John Dotson right now.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, you know, I think he's I think his
Speaker 1: value suppressed. There's a there's a decent chance Washington comes
Speaker 1: out of this draft with some kind of quarterback help.
Speaker 1: They did last year with Sam Howell. I think they
Speaker 1: will this year as well. Maybe that's high end quarterback,
Speaker 1: I mean help, that's you know, it's very possible that
Speaker 1: somebody falls to them.
Speaker 4: What are they sixteen I think in the draft, Yeah,
Speaker 4: something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's a real chance somebody falls to him.
Speaker 1: And even if not, I'm still i still feel like
Speaker 1: Dotson's values is is oddly low for the talent that
Speaker 1: he brings to that spot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, first round receiver producing his first year and yeah,
Speaker 3: very low right now.
Speaker 2: Right. I'm with you. I'm with you on Dotson.
Speaker 3: I think we're both kind of on this Dots and
Speaker 3: hype train, and I'm not afraid to be on it.
Speaker 1: You said you drafted Dotson in the mid rounds of
Speaker 1: the second round right of a dynasty league last year.
Speaker 1: I think that's what you'd pay for to get him
Speaker 1: acquire him this year. You pay a second rounder this year.
Speaker 2: If you could pay like the two O four for
Speaker 2: Johan Dottson, I would do that in a heartbeat.
Speaker 4: And I think you Ken, I think you can as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thank you for listening to today's Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly Micro edition. We will be back with more coming
Speaker 1: up shortly. We encourage you to listen Monday through Friday,
