Okay, so today I was trying to figure out who to start in my fantasy football league – Brian Robinson or Jerome Ford. It’s a tough call, both have been pretty decent, but not exactly superstars, you know?
Weighing My Options
First, I pulled up their stats for the season. Gotta see those numbers, right? I looked at their rushing yards, touchdowns, and even their fumbles, ’cause nobody wants a guy who coughs up the ball. I checked out their matchups for the week. Are they playing a super tough defense, or a team that’s, let’s just say, generous to running backs?
Next, I scrolled through some “expert” opinions. I put “expert” in quotes because, honestly, sometimes I think they just flip a coin, but it’s good to see what other people are thinking. Some were high on Robinson, others liked Ford. Helpful, right? Not really!
The Deep Dive
So, I decided to go deeper. I watched some game highlights. Yeah, stats are cool, but I wanted to see them in action. Are they running hard? Are they getting stuffed at the line? Are they even getting the ball, or is their team throwing it all day?
- Robinson: He seems to power through tackles, but the offense is a bit inconsistent.
- Ford: He is fast, and looks good when he gets into the open field, but the team’s total run is not that high.
My Gut Feeling
After all that research, my head was spinning. Honestly, it felt like a 50/50 call. So, I went with my gut. I mean, after staring at stats and videos for an hour, what else can you do?
I ended up starting… well, I won’t tell you, because I don’t want to jinx it! But the process was a rollercoaster. Maybe next week I’ll just flip an actual coin. It might be less stressful.
