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. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly Micro Edition.
Speaker 1: I am Paul Charchian. Co host. Who's usual Tyler Cannabilee
Speaker 1: yep on Twitter at PPR Tyler. I am at Paul Charchian.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about this player. Unlike yesterday's flair Deontay Johnson,
Speaker 1: I am fascinated by Gabe Davis. I love buying when
Speaker 1: everybody's getting off a player when I think it's undeserved.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Gabe Davis. So let's roll up our sleeves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, first off with Gabe Davis and Deandrey Johnson
Speaker 2: be any.
Speaker 1: Far stylistically anywhere different? Yes?
Speaker 2: All right? Well he was the why Dees? Hever thirty
Speaker 2: five last season? Why is he were thirty nine average
Speaker 2: points per game? And he's currently going off the borders?
Speaker 2: Why dece you were forty one? So a little bit
Speaker 2: of a hit to his adpcs from last season.
Speaker 1: He's gone off the border like wide receiver night. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a huge drop coming off a bad year.
Speaker 1: But last year he hobbled his way through the entire season,
Speaker 1: injured his injured his ankle in Week two, high ankle sprain.
Speaker 1: They didn't call it that then, but then after the
Speaker 1: season people started saying it was high ankle sprain. And
Speaker 1: he played through it all year, and it turned Gabe
Speaker 1: Davis into really an irregular fantasy performer who was very
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very touchdown depending.
Speaker 1: That's to put it lightly.
Speaker 2: In games where Gabe Davis does not score a touchdown
Speaker 2: last season, he his weekly average finish was the widest
Speaker 2: heaver fifty three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's tough. That hurt you, yes, badly.
Speaker 2: But in games where Gabe Davis did score a touchdown,
Speaker 2: his weekly average finish was the wide receiver eighteen.
Speaker 1: I would have thought higher if he had a touchdown
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: What brought that stat down when I was looking it
Speaker 2: up was he finishes like the wide receiver one in five.
Speaker 2: I think we're two highest finishes, but there were there
Speaker 2: was one where he was like two catches in a touchdown, okay,
Speaker 2: and it was like twelve yards. But so like, if
Speaker 2: you exclude that one game, it's probably like wide siver
Speaker 2: close to wide sever twelve.
Speaker 1: But that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense, all right.
Speaker 1: But I'm optimistic here in part because they like to
Speaker 1: go to Gabe Davis deep. And when you can connect
Speaker 1: on some deep passes, that's that's how you become a
Speaker 1: major fantasy force. So talk to me about the deep
Speaker 1: ball usage for Gabe Davis in this offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was. First off, he's just number forty
Speaker 2: two in targets and number fifty two in reception, So
Speaker 2: he's not he he is the deep though. He's not
Speaker 2: this kind of guy who's gonna get it. He's not
Speaker 2: step On Dick. He's not to get ten catches the game.
Speaker 2: That's just not who he is. But he was number
Speaker 2: six and a dot average depth of target. He was
Speaker 2: number twelve in air yards, number twelve in deep targets,
Speaker 2: and he was number three in the yards per reception.
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, So that all suggests that they throw
Speaker 1: deep him. They don't throw a lot of balls to
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, so they didn't last year, but they throw
Speaker 1: deep to him this year. I want to believe, healthy
Speaker 1: without up running around on one ankle, that he's gonna
Speaker 1: spring free on these deep passes a lot more often.
Speaker 1: And when that happens. You've obviously got a massively strong
Speaker 1: armed quarterback who can get him the ball, and I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna just get more of the explosive games
Speaker 1: out of Gabe Davis. And he's still the guy that
Speaker 1: everybody loved at he's twenty four years old. He's still
Speaker 1: the guy that everybody loved last year when they were
Speaker 1: taking him off the board at ADP wide receiver nineteen.
Speaker 1: Who now, I ain't get a wide receiver forty.
Speaker 2: One, exactly buy in. That's the thing is, you can
Speaker 2: get him so much lower than you did last year.
Speaker 2: And the team situation, like, yes, Diggs is still there
Speaker 2: and Dalton Kincaid is there, but they're they're not the
Speaker 2: same game. They don't have the same one.
Speaker 1: Can aid into each other. Dalton k isn't like that,
Speaker 1: And we don't know if Kate's going to start a
Speaker 1: game this year. Yeah, who knows. Titans almost always take
Speaker 1: a long time to ramp up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So they don't have the same game. So he's
Speaker 2: not a deep threat, and it's just who else is
Speaker 2: going to be Like it feels like Gave Davis is
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's deep guy. He is the deep threat on
Speaker 2: one of the team with in a quarterback who has
Speaker 2: the biggest arm in the league or one of the
Speaker 2: biggest arms in the league. So it's one of those
Speaker 2: things where he's probably not great for a gueteen league
Speaker 2: type of format.
Speaker 1: Because this is this is how you get cut in
Speaker 1: against Yet gave Davis this kind of Dave, But Gabe
Speaker 1: doesn't get the long passes. He's given you two catches
Speaker 1: for like nineteen yards or one catch for twelve and
Speaker 1: your dead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he is great for like a best ball league,
Speaker 2: because best ball he could like I said, he had
Speaker 2: like two touchdo there was that game last year, like
Speaker 2: two touchdowns one of those like ninety nine yards. He
Speaker 2: can single handedly win you weeks like at the week
Speaker 2: seventeen bros. Who who I am on for a best
Speaker 2: Ball He's one of those guys who could win you
Speaker 2: a bunch of money because he just has this deep
Speaker 2: threat and this week winning ability that not a lot
Speaker 2: of other guys haven't in among wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should note the team did not add a
Speaker 1: receiver that's gonna take any real any of the usage away,
Speaker 1: And that's what you were just really referring to. There's
Speaker 1: no there was no, there was no offseason edition. That's
Speaker 1: gonna really hurt Or gave Davis in a material.
Speaker 2: I'm not scared of Deontay Hardy.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not either. I think that's gonna work out fine.
Speaker 1: So I'm buying Gabe Davis that has at his adp,
Speaker 1: or at least I think I am. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the guys going in that same neighborhood.
Speaker 2: First one. We talked a little bit about on yesterday's micro.
Speaker 2: George Pickens, why does he we thirty nine?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I walked out of yesterday's micro liking George Pickens
Speaker 1: a lot more than I expected to. But I'm really
Speaker 1: high on Gabe Davis being much closer to the guy
Speaker 1: that we saw I expected him to be last year.
Speaker 1: So I'm taking Gabe Davis.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Gabe Davis. Johan Dotson, why is hever forty?
Speaker 1: Now? I like Dotson as well, and you and I
Speaker 1: broke down Dotson in late April on one of our
Speaker 1: other micros. And and I'm actually cautiously optimistic on Sam Howell.
Speaker 1: I watched Sam Howell's Week eighteen start and I walked
Speaker 1: away going, Dude's way better than I thought he was,
Speaker 1: and now I remembered him being and I spent I
Speaker 1: had I needed to have looked at that sooner. And
Speaker 1: I like how Dotson got so much better as the
Speaker 1: season went on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even of how isn't that guy Jacoby? Yeah right,
Speaker 2: Mark Hooper's like, why is he your twelve four? Deshaun
Speaker 2: Watson came back last year?
Speaker 1: So still I think I'm gonna take Dotson, But I
Speaker 1: still like gave Davis a lot, and I take all
Speaker 1: these guys earlier than where their average.
Speaker 2: Ye, I'm I'm on Dotson too. Okay, Brandon Cooks? Why
Speaker 2: does he wear forty two? The number two in Dallas?
Speaker 1: Now? Yeah, Gabe Davis, yep not, you're out on Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 2: Done with them?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be a career for Brandon.
Speaker 2: Cooks, you think so?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's been a long It's already been a
Speaker 1: long career. He's long in the tooth by a receiver standpoint, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I'll take uh, definitely take
Speaker 2: gave Davis over over Cooks. And then the last one
Speaker 2: we got rookie Quinton Johnston going off the board is
Speaker 2: why does he wear forty three?
Speaker 1: There's just too much there's too much competition for passes
Speaker 1: in that offense. Yeah, Keenan Allen's gonna go away at
Speaker 1: some point, probably this might be his last year coming
Speaker 1: up right, probably going to the Hall of Fame. Quinton
Speaker 1: Johnson iss got I like the I like what he
Speaker 1: I like what he can bring to the table here,
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't know. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna come together this quickly this year, like a Wilford
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis who's gonna be on the field every play this,
Speaker 1: every play this, every snap of the of the season practically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Gave Davis actually, funnily enough, has a
Speaker 2: higher floor than Quinton Johnson does. Because of Quintin Johnson,
Speaker 2: just like the wideceaver three in this offense. He could
Speaker 2: just I don't know, he could just be one of
Speaker 2: those another kind of another guy, like another Josh Palmer
Speaker 2: from last season or something like that. Yeah, but if
Speaker 2: there were injuries, Quentin Johnson just could be like the guys.
Speaker 2: I think he has a higher season ceiling then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he told me, yeah right, if you told me
Speaker 1: Mike Mike Williams is gonna get knocked out for the
Speaker 1: Area team, might I mean dude's constantly hurt, so then
Speaker 1: you know that scenario might be different.
Speaker 2: It'd be interesting to see what Gave Davis could do
Speaker 2: with like if Diggs were to miss time, Like, what
Speaker 2: would that look like? Is Gabe Davis just a seven
Speaker 2: catch guy? I don't know, probably not, but we'll see, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Gabe Davis. Uh be cautious
Speaker 1: in a guillotine league, but for pretty much every other
Speaker 1: format we are interested in that. And if you want
