Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decide to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 2: here's your host.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. Micro addition, I am Paul Charchian,
Speaker 1: co host as usual, Tyler Canablee Hi Tyler.
Speaker 3: Hello at PPR Tyler On Twitter.
Speaker 1: At PPR Tyler. Yes, new Twitter handle for those of
Speaker 1: those that have been following you. It just converts over.
Speaker 1: We don't have to do anything on our side, which
Speaker 1: is good news. I should mention Gillotine League's available. The
Speaker 1: season has just opened. We've got a fresh new app coming.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna see it right now right now. It's
Speaker 1: the old app coming up in uh probably the second
Speaker 1: part of June. All new app coming for Guillotine Leagues
Speaker 1: at Gillotine leagues dot Com. Strongly encourage you to try
Speaker 1: it out. You're for all about the format.
Speaker 3: You know how it works.
Speaker 1: Eighteen team start the season, no head to head, The
Speaker 1: low scoring team gets cut and that entire roster goes
Speaker 1: with the waiver wire, where bidding mayhem ensues its total pandemonium.
Speaker 1: It's roster building like you've never seen before. It's anxiety.
Speaker 1: It's all the great stuff in the Guillotine League. You
Speaker 1: can get into a private league or a public contest.
Speaker 3: Who are we breaking down today?
Speaker 1: Tyler?
Speaker 4: A top tier Round one wide receiver AJ Brown?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: AJ Brown?
Speaker 1: Yes it is, he's coming off.
Speaker 3: What a great move.
Speaker 1: Howie Rosen's the best executive in football.
Speaker 3: It's not close.
Speaker 1: What a great decision it was to bring in AJ Brown,
Speaker 1: a key component to how they made it to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, almost won the Super Bowl, and he immediately
Speaker 1: blows up right, He's languishing in a Tennessee offense that
Speaker 1: only loves Dearrick Henry goes to Philadelphia with a balance stuff.
Speaker 1: They run plenty there too, but they also found ways
Speaker 1: to throw the ball and be much more totally effective
Speaker 1: there as well. Give us a little recap of what
Speaker 1: we saw from AJ.
Speaker 3: Brown twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4: He finished as the receiver six, and he was the
Speaker 4: wide receiver eight and average points per game. And he's
Speaker 4: currently going off the board wide receiver six, right, yeah, right,
Speaker 4: where he finished exactly.
Speaker 3: And he's more of a volume guy.
Speaker 4: Last year than we ever seen in Tennessee because I mean,
Speaker 4: yet there Henry, so you're not gonna throw as much.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean we just saw a different side
Speaker 4: of it AJ Brown. But we still saw the explosiveness
Speaker 4: that you love to see.
Speaker 1: There was a lot to like last year, career highs
Speaker 1: in every statistical category.
Speaker 3: I think he.
Speaker 1: Benefited from better quarterbacking, better cast around him. Right, DeVonta Smith,
Speaker 1: you had to account for, Dallas Goddard you had to
Speaker 1: account for. I think those were big things. O great
Speaker 1: running game that defenses had to account for. So unlike Tennessee,
Speaker 1: where teams went in and just said, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: get beat by Derrick Henry and AJ Brown. We're gonna
Speaker 1: just take those two guys away and make Tennessee beat us.
Speaker 3: Some other way.
Speaker 1: With Eagles, they had way too many weapons for me
Speaker 1: to do that. And AJ Brown had a lot of
Speaker 1: big games.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he was also seemingly a safe play last year.
Speaker 4: I mean, among wide receivers with twelve plus games played,
Speaker 4: a J. Brown had the second fewest finishes.
Speaker 3: Outside the top thirty love it. The first was Jamar Chase.
Speaker 4: It's a good company to be in, and he had
Speaker 4: double digit Fantasy points in fifteen of his seventeen games.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic, right, especially not to make this all about
Speaker 1: guillotine leagues, but in the guillotine league, we're just not
Speaker 1: You're looking to not finish last. Having a guy give
Speaker 1: you double digit fantasy points fifteen out of seventeen weeks golden.
Speaker 3: So huge for aj Brown.
Speaker 1: The situation this year is almost totally unchanged.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know right, it's and there's even more like
Speaker 4: upside for some How do you say it? I guess
Speaker 4: like the like ceiling because if DeVante, if anything happens
Speaker 4: to Devonte Smith, AJ Brown is like he's the guy.
Speaker 4: He's not just like a one a where Javonta Smith
Speaker 4: might be one, be he is the number one, and
Speaker 4: then everyone kind of filters in after that. So I
Speaker 4: think he could even see a better season than he
Speaker 4: did last season.
Speaker 3: See I would.
Speaker 1: I would contend that I think he's better with Demanta
Speaker 1: Smith on the field. Smith such a different receiver, and
Speaker 1: he's so fast and he draws, you know, defenses away,
Speaker 1: and this is not a deep receiving depth chart in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: it's not. So I don't want defenses to have to
Speaker 1: you know be able to really converge on AJ Brown.
Speaker 1: But where I do think he gives you some upside
Speaker 1: this year. I think the touchdown. I think his touchdown
Speaker 1: potential is still untapped here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he I mean he finished number two in
Speaker 4: total touchdowns last season my wide receivers.
Speaker 3: But it feels like he could have one of those nuclear.
Speaker 4: Not maybe like not Randy Moss two thousand and seven nuclear,
Speaker 4: but like he could have fifteen touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Would be crazy.
Speaker 1: He could, It wouldn't be crazy, right, I Mean it's
Speaker 1: the big body, right, So he's such a great target
Speaker 1: if you're gonna throw, if you're at the five yard
Speaker 1: line and you're gonna throw a pass, he's all he
Speaker 1: has to do is, you know, take about six steps forward,
Speaker 1: turn and just launch a launch a rocket at AJ
Speaker 1: Brown and that big body, the big catch radius.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: But then also he's so good at yards after catch.
Speaker 1: He finished last year number two in yards after catch. Dude,
Speaker 1: can just you know, he's one of the few wide
Speaker 1: receivers who can just legitimately break tackles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he finished top four in a lot of categories,
Speaker 4: kind of like how we did with Geno. I'm just
Speaker 4: going to run through the stats that he finished top four.
Speaker 1: In Gino Smith. That was in h that was in
Speaker 1: Tuesdays FFW Micro.
Speaker 4: Yes, So receiving yards number four, total touchdowns number two.
Speaker 4: We mentioned that yards after catch number two, yards per
Speaker 4: route run number two, yards per target number four, yards
Speaker 4: per team pass attempt number two, and target rate versus
Speaker 4: man who's number one in the league.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: That is some devastating numbers. Yeah, and some of those
Speaker 1: I mean directly correlate to fantasy exactly, like yards per
Speaker 1: route run. Yes, we care about that. Yet that we
Speaker 1: care about that, we care about yards, touchdowns. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of things that we like about that. Demanda Smith
Speaker 1: emerged as a really good player. Now he had had
Speaker 1: the you had a good rookie year, but not necessarily
Speaker 1: like an eye popping rookie year. But year two, one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six targets for DeVonta Smith, twelve hundred yards,
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns. There's a you would think, Well, let me
Speaker 1: ask you, Tyler, did you believe DeVonta Smith and that
Speaker 1: level of production helps or hurts AJ Brown?
Speaker 3: I do think.
Speaker 4: I don't know, because you get, like I said, you
Speaker 4: can make the argument for either way. I do think
Speaker 4: it helps for his I think his long term, like
Speaker 4: season long kind of status in terms of you're right,
Speaker 4: he's not going to get that double cover like sometimes
Speaker 4: we do see with Justin Jefferson where he will get
Speaker 4: double covered the entire game. And there's games where Justin
Speaker 4: Jefferson has where it's like one catch or two catches.
Speaker 3: For thirty forty yards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't think that can never happen with
Speaker 4: not never, but with AJ Brown it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: lot less likely that you're going to get a couple
Speaker 4: like three or four games of those, which I think
Speaker 4: we saw what Justin Jefferson had a couple games of those,
Speaker 4: which is why he AJ Brown finished inside the top
Speaker 4: thirty a little bit more than Justin Jefferson did last season.
Speaker 3: A J.
Speaker 1: Brown's value is already high. He's gone off the board
Speaker 1: wide receiver six. I think we believe that's approximately right
Speaker 1: for him. Dynasty value is potentially even higher because Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts is great.
Speaker 3: He's young.
Speaker 1: AJ Brown redid his deal when he came to Philadelphia
Speaker 1: year ago, so he's got a lot of runway left
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: He's young.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's there's probably I don't know. He's ADP
Speaker 1: six in Redraft. He might be ADP four three in Dynasty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in Dynasty, who would you. Let's let's do
Speaker 3: the ADP game, but we'll go Dynasty edition for okay,
Speaker 3: Dynasty edition of age. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So right now, Garret Wilson is the wide receiver three,
Speaker 4: and according to keep trade Cut for Dynasty Football, on A. J.
Speaker 3: Brown's wide receiver four.
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Brown because I know who the quarterback is.
Speaker 1: I don't even know who Jeft's quarterback is next year.
Speaker 3: Exactly. That's my thing too, is you?
Speaker 4: The quarterback stability is such a such a thing you
Speaker 4: need to pay attention to in dynasty leagues because like
Speaker 4: even Justin Jefferson, like if curse gone this season and
Speaker 4: they have like a rookie quarterback, that's gonna hurt Justin
Speaker 4: Jefferson quite a bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it's one of those almost certainly a least short
Speaker 4: term yeah exactly. So, uh yeah, I'm taking a J.
Speaker 4: Brown for sure over Gara Wilson as much? Is that
Speaker 4: like Gara Wilson?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we love garat will all right.
Speaker 4: With switching back to Redraft, here we go ADP game
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup wide receiver four and A J.
Speaker 3: Brown's wideceiver six.
Speaker 1: Right now, Cups had a schedule by all like Hounds.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's gonna be ready for the start
Speaker 1: of the season. His injury was very early last year,
Speaker 1: so he's had gonna have almost a full year on it.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't quit eight. I can't quick Cup. He's you know,
Speaker 1: he was on pace to be fantasy receiver number one
Speaker 1: before the injury.
Speaker 4: He was number one in average points per game last year.
Speaker 4: So I'll take Cup yep, I'll take up two digs
Speaker 4: steph on Diggs wadeceiver five.
Speaker 3: I'll take a J. Brown.
Speaker 1: I mean, Digs is great too, These are all great players.
Speaker 1: Brown gives me like you were talking about that that
Speaker 1: twelve touchdown fourteen touchdown upside the digs does not have.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 4: I'm definitely taking I'm digging Brown. I've been taking Digs
Speaker 4: over Brown, but now like after kind of right, I
Speaker 4: switched over.
Speaker 3: He want to go a J.
Speaker 4: Brown over stuff on Diggs? All right, DeVante Adams wide
Speaker 4: deceiver seven.
Speaker 3: I'm so out on Adams. This Garoppolo stuff is crazy.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh yeah, he might get cut and they
Speaker 4: could save all the money, don't have to pay him anything.
Speaker 1: And the depth chart is so thin behind Garoppolo, there's
Speaker 1: and you know, Devanta Adams talking about leaving the team.
Speaker 3: I look, I really don't like this.
Speaker 1: They got the weak arm that Garoppolo's got. I you know,
Speaker 1: no downfield stuff coming for DeVonta Adams. I'm I'm right
Speaker 1: now my most recent ranking, which I haven't published up
Speaker 1: at their coming. I believe I have a wide receiver
Speaker 1: twelve for Dad, so obviously AJ Brown.
Speaker 4: We'll see what how much DeVonta Adams likes Trey Lance
Speaker 4: throwing in the ball in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: It could be that way. Yep. Yeah, I'll take a J.
Speaker 4: Brown and last one, fellow NFC East rival Cede Lamb
Speaker 4: wide receiver eight.
Speaker 3: Loves CD Lamb.
Speaker 1: He ghostly stretches where he disappears more than a J.
Speaker 1: Brown does, and I don't like that.
Speaker 3: I'd go I go a J.
Speaker 1: Brown. I think I think America's got the consensus. I
Speaker 1: think the consensus is right.
Speaker 3: I'd go a J.
Speaker 1: Brown over at ceed Lamb, but not.
Speaker 3: By a lot. I'm with it.
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, thank you, Tyler, great job. I hope
