WEBVTT - FFW Micro - Gabe Davis

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>You found Fantasy Football Weekly Micro a deep dive on

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>one player in just five to ten minutes. Now here's

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>your host, Paul Chargian. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly Micro Edition.

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I am Paul Charchian. Co host. Who's usual Tyler Cannabilee

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>yep on Twitter at PPR Tyler. I am at Paul Charchian.

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm very excited about this player. Unlike yesterday's flair Deontay Johnson,

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I am fascinated by Gabe Davis. I love buying when

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.559
<v Speaker 1>everybody's getting off a player when I think it's undeserved.

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Gabe Davis. So let's roll up our sleeves.

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, first off with Gabe Davis and Deandrey Johnson

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 2>be any.

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Far stylistically anywhere different? Yes?

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>All right? Well he was the why Dees? Hever thirty

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 2>five last season? Why is he were thirty nine average

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 2>points per game? And he's currently going off the borders?

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Why dece you were forty one? So a little bit

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>of a hit to his adpcs from last season.

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>He's gone off the border like wide receiver night. So yeah,

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a huge drop coming off a bad year.

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.279
<v Speaker 1>But last year he hobbled his way through the entire season,

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>injured his injured his ankle in Week two, high ankle sprain.

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>They didn't call it that then, but then after the

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>season people started saying it was high ankle sprain. And

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>he played through it all year, and it turned Gabe

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Davis into really an irregular fantasy performer who was very

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>touchdown dependent.

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was very touchdown depending.

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>That's to put it lightly.

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>In games where Gabe Davis does not score a touchdown

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>last season, he his weekly average finish was the widest

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>heaver fifty three.

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's tough. That hurt you, yes, badly.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 2>But in games where Gabe Davis did score a touchdown,

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 2>his weekly average finish was the wide receiver eighteen.

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I would have thought higher if he had a touchdown

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 2>What brought that stat down when I was looking it

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>up was he finishes like the wide receiver one in five.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I think we're two highest finishes, but there were there

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>was one where he was like two catches in a touchdown, okay,

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 2>and it was like twelve yards. But so like, if

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>you exclude that one game, it's probably like wide siver

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>close to wide sever twelve.

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>But that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense, all right.

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>But I'm optimistic here in part because they like to

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>go to Gabe Davis deep. And when you can connect

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>on some deep passes, that's that's how you become a

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>major fantasy force. So talk to me about the deep

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>ball usage for Gabe Davis in this offense.

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so he was. First off, he's just number forty

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>two in targets and number fifty two in reception, So

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>he's not he he is the deep though. He's not

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>this kind of guy who's gonna get it. He's not

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 2>step On Dick. He's not to get ten catches the game.

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>That's just not who he is. But he was number

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>six and a dot average depth of target. He was

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>number twelve in air yards, number twelve in deep targets,

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>and he was number three in the yards per reception.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Wow, all right, So that all suggests that they throw

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>deep him. They don't throw a lot of balls to

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Gabe Davis, so they didn't last year, but they throw

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>deep to him this year. I want to believe, healthy

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>without up running around on one ankle, that he's gonna

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>spring free on these deep passes a lot more often.

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>And when that happens. You've obviously got a massively strong

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>armed quarterback who can get him the ball, and I

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>think you're gonna just get more of the explosive games

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>out of Gabe Davis. And he's still the guy that

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody loved at he's twenty four years old. He's still

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the guy that everybody loved last year when they were

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>taking him off the board at ADP wide receiver nineteen.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Who now, I ain't get a wide receiver forty.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>One, exactly buy in. That's the thing is, you can

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>get him so much lower than you did last year.

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>And the team situation, like, yes, Diggs is still there

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and Dalton Kincaid is there, but they're they're not the

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>same game. They don't have the same one.

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Can aid into each other. Dalton k isn't like that,

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>And we don't know if Kate's going to start a

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>game this year. Yeah, who knows. Titans almost always take

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>a long time to ramp up.

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So they don't have the same game. So he's

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>not a deep threat, and it's just who else is

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be Like it feels like Gave Davis is

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen's deep guy. He is the deep threat on

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the team with in a quarterback who has

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the biggest arm in the league or one of the

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>biggest arms in the league. So it's one of those

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 2>things where he's probably not great for a gueteen league

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:09.279
<v Speaker 2>type of format.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Because this is this is how you get cut in

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>against Yet gave Davis this kind of Dave, But Gabe

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get the long passes. He's given you two catches

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>for like nineteen yards or one catch for twelve and

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>your dead.

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but he is great for like a best ball league,

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 2>because best ball he could like I said, he had

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 2>like two touchdo there was that game last year, like

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 2>two touchdowns one of those like ninety nine yards. He

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>can single handedly win you weeks like at the week

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 2>seventeen bros. Who who I am on for a best

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Ball He's one of those guys who could win you

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.119
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of money because he just has this deep

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 2>threat and this week winning ability that not a lot

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 2>of other guys haven't in among wide receivers.

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we should note the team did not add a

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>receiver that's gonna take any real any of the usage away,

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's what you were just really referring to. There's

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>no there was no, there was no offseason edition. That's

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna really hurt Or gave Davis in a material.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm not scared of Deontay Hardy.

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not either. I think that's gonna work out fine.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm buying Gabe Davis that has at his adp,

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>or at least I think I am. Let's talk about

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the guys going in that same neighborhood.

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>First one. We talked a little bit about on yesterday's micro.

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>George Pickens, why does he we thirty nine?

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I walked out of yesterday's micro liking George Pickens

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot more than I expected to. But I'm really

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>high on Gabe Davis being much closer to the guy

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that we saw I expected him to be last year.

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm taking Gabe Davis.

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, Gabe Davis. Johan Dotson, why is hever forty?

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Now? I like Dotson as well, and you and I

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>broke down Dotson in late April on one of our

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>other micros. And and I'm actually cautiously optimistic on Sam Howell.

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I watched Sam Howell's Week eighteen start and I walked

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>away going, Dude's way better than I thought he was,

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and now I remembered him being and I spent I

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 1>had I needed to have looked at that sooner. And

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I like how Dotson got so much better as the

0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>season went on.

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and even of how isn't that guy Jacoby? Yeah right,

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Mark Hooper's like, why is he your twelve four? Deshaun

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Watson came back last year?

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>So still I think I'm gonna take Dotson, But I

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>still like gave Davis a lot, and I take all

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 1>these guys earlier than where their average.

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Ye, I'm I'm on Dotson too. Okay, Brandon Cooks? Why

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 2>does he wear forty two? The number two in Dallas?

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Now? Yeah, Gabe Davis, yep not, you're out on Brandon Cooks.

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Done with them?

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it might be a career for Brandon.

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Cooks, you think so?

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, it's been a long It's already been a

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>long career. He's long in the tooth by a receiver standpoint, right.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I'll take uh, definitely take

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>gave Davis over over Cooks. And then the last one

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 2>we got rookie Quinton Johnston going off the board is

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 2>why does he wear forty three?

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>There's just too much there's too much competition for passes

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>in that offense. Yeah, Keenan Allen's gonna go away at

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>some point, probably this might be his last year coming

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 1>up right, probably going to the Hall of Fame. Quinton

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Johnson iss got I like the I like what he

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I like what he can bring to the table here,

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>But I don't I don't know. I don't think it's

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna come together this quickly this year, like a Wilford

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Gabe Davis who's gonna be on the field every play this,

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>every play this, every snap of the of the season practically.

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Gave Davis actually, funnily enough, has a

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>higher floor than Quinton Johnson does. Because of Quintin Johnson,

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 2>just like the wideceaver three in this offense. He could

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>just I don't know, he could just be one of

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>those another kind of another guy, like another Josh Palmer

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>from last season or something like that. Yeah, but if

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>there were injuries, Quentin Johnson just could be like the guys.

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I think he has a higher season ceiling then.

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he told me, yeah right, if you told me

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike Mike Williams is gonna get knocked out for the

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Area team, might I mean dude's constantly hurt, so then

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you know that scenario might be different.

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.960
