Alright, so I’ve been messing around with my fantasy football lineup, trying to figure out who to start this week. It’s down to Aaron Jones or James Conner, and man, it’s a tough call. Both of these guys have been pretty solid, but it’s crunch time, and I need to make the right decision.
First thing I did was look at their overall performance this season. You know, just get a feel for how they’ve been doing. Jones has been a bit up and down, some big games, some quiet ones. Conner, on the other hand, has been Mr. Consistent. Not huge numbers every week, but he’s always putting up decent points.
Then I dug into their recent games. I wanted to see if either of them was on a hot streak or maybe cooling off. Jones had a monster game a couple of weeks back, but then followed it up with a dud. Conner’s been steady, nothing flashy, just solid production week in and week out. That’s really what you want, I suppose.
Next, I checked out their matchups for this week. Who are they playing against? Jones is going up against a defense that’s been pretty tough on running backs lately. That made me a little nervous. Conner, though, has a much better matchup. He’s facing a team that’s been giving up a lot of points to running backs.
So, after looking at all that, I started checking out what the so-called “experts” were saying. I figured, hey, they do this for a living, maybe they know something I don’t. Most of them were leaning towards Conner, mainly because of the matchup and his consistency. That started to sway me a bit.
But I couldn’t just rely on what other people were saying. I had to go with my gut, too. I spent a good chunk of time just staring at their stats, flipping back and forth between their pages. It was like trying to choose between two of your favorite desserts.
- I compared their average points per game.
- I looked at their projected points for this week.
- I even considered their teams’ overall offensive strategies.
Final Decision
Finally, after all that agonizing, I decided to go with James Conner. It wasn’t easy, but his consistency, the favorable matchup, and the expert opinions all pointed in that direction. It felt like the safer bet, and in the playoffs, you can’t afford to take too many risks. Now, I just have to hope I made the right call and that Conner has a big game!
