Alright, so today I dove into comparing Nico Collins and DJ Moore, trying to figure out which wide receiver would be a better pick for my fantasy team. It was a bit of a head-scratcher, so I figured I’d walk through my whole process.
First, I pulled up both of their stats from last season. Just looking at the basic numbers, you know, receptions, yards, touchdowns – the usual stuff. I wanted a good baseline to start with.
Digging into Recent Games
Then, I jumped into their recent game logs. I wasn’t just looking at the total points they scored. I wanted to see things like targets, how many catches they made on those targets, and if they had any big plays. Consistency is key, right? I don’t want a guy who booms one week and busts the next.
Strength of Schedule is Crucial
- Next, I checked out their upcoming schedules.
- Who are they playing against?
- Are those defenses tough against wide receivers, or are they more generous?
- This is super important because a great receiver can get shut down by a top-tier defense.
I also tried to find some expert opinions. You know, those fantasy football analysts who spend hours watching film and breaking down matchups. I read a few articles and listened to a couple of podcasts to see what the consensus was. It’s always good to get a second, third, or even fourth opinion!
Injury Reports Matter… A Lot
Of course, I had to check the injury reports. A player is no good to your fantasy team if they’re sitting on the bench with an injury! I scoured the news for any updates on their health status.
Finally, I just went with my gut. After all that research, I weighed all the factors and made my decision. It’s a combination of data and intuition, you know? Sometimes you just have a feeling about a player.
It was a pretty thorough process, and I feel good about the choice I made. Now, let’s hope it pays off on game day!
