Okay, folks, let’s dive into this whole Jordan Addison vs. Quentin Johnston thing. I’ve been messing around with my fantasy lineup, and these two rookies have been driving me nuts!
The Dilemma
So, I’ve got a flex spot open, and it’s down to these two. Both are promising wide receivers, but totally different situations.
First, I grabbed my laptop and started to dig into some stats. I wanted to see how they performed in college, what the scouts were saying… you know, the usual deep dive.
The Research
I opened a bunch of browser tabs. ESPN, *, some fantasy football blogs – the whole nine yards.
- Addison, I found, is a smooth route runner. Lots of folks compare him to, like, a polished veteran. But, the Vikings already have Justin Jefferson, a total target hog.
- Johnston, on the other hand, is a physical beast. Big, fast… could be a real red-zone threat. The Chargers? They’ve got Keenan Allen and Mike Williams,but both get injured so easily!.
The Weighing
I spent a good hour just staring at projections, reading articles, and generally stressing myself out.
My internal monologue went something like this:
“Okay, Addison might get more consistent targets, but how many with Jefferson there?”
“Johnston has HUGE upside, but could disappear for games at a time.”
“Argh!”
The Coin Flip (Almost)
Seriously, I almost flipped a coin. Then,I saw the practice report!
The Decision
I checked the latest injury reports. And boom! Mike Williams was listed as “questionable” with something. Ankle? Hamstring? I don’t even remember. But that was it!
I slammed Johnston into my flex spot. My thinking? If Williams is limited or out, Johnston could see a big bump in targets. It’s a gamble, sure, but a calculated one (sort of).
The game arrived,I really clicked start game button on my * you know what?Juston got 5 amazing goals, that made me feel like the king of the world！
So, that’s my story. It’s not rocket science, but it’s how I made my decision. Hope this helps someone out there facing the same agonizing choice!
