Okay, so today I wanna talk about my little experiment with David Montgomery and Aaron Jones in fantasy football. This was a fun one, lemme tell ya!
It all started ’cause I was tinkering with my lineup, right? I had both Montgomery and Jones sitting on my bench, collecting dust. And I thought, “Hmm, what if I actually tried to start them both?” Seemed kinda crazy, since they’re both running backs, and usually you wanna diversify. But hey, gotta try new things, right?
First thing I did was dive into some stats. I wanted to see how they were performing individually, what their recent trends were, and especially their matchups for the week. I used a couple of different fantasy football websites – you know, the usual ones like ESPN and *. I even checked out some of those “expert” prediction sites, but I always take those with a grain of salt.
Montgomery looked like a solid option. He was getting a good amount of carries and had been pretty consistent with his yardage. Jones, on the other hand, was a bit more volatile. He had some boom games, but also some real duds. His injury history was also a concern, gotta admit.
Their matchups were kinda middle-of-the-road. Nothing amazing, but not terrible either. So, I figured, “Alright, let’s gamble!” I decided to slot them both into my lineup. Montgomery as my RB1, and Jones as my Flex. This was a risky move, for sure.
Game day arrives, and I’m glued to my phone, watching the scores update. Montgomery started off slow, which had me sweating. But then, boom! He broke off a couple of nice runs and even punched one in for a touchdown. I was like, “Okay, maybe this is gonna work after all!”
Jones was a different story. He also started slow, and I was getting worried that I’d made a huge mistake. But in the second half, he just exploded. He was catching passes, running hard, and scoring touchdowns like crazy. My jaw dropped.
By the end of the day, both Montgomery and Jones had put up some serious points. I ended up winning my matchup by a comfortable margin! It was awesome! I felt like a genius, even though it was probably just luck.
Now, here’s the thing. I wouldn’t recommend starting two running backs like this every week. It really depends on their matchups, their individual performance, and the overall strength of your team. But in this particular case, it paid off big time.
So, what did I learn? Don’t be afraid to take risks! Sometimes the unconventional moves are the ones that win you the game. And always, always do your research before making any decisions. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll get lucky like I did.
Key Takeaways:
- Research is crucial – check stats, matchups, and trends.
- Don’t be afraid to take calculated risks.
- Luck plays a role, let’s be honest.
That’s my David Montgomery/Aaron Jones adventure. Hope it gives you some ideas for your own fantasy football strategies!
