Alright, so I was trying to figure out who to start in my fantasy football league – Cam Akers or J.K. Dobbins. These two running backs, you know, they’re both pretty good, but they’ve also been a bit shaky this season. I started by looking up some advice online, like any sane person would do.
I found a bunch of websites with fantasy football experts giving their two cents. I mean, there are, like, a hundred of these experts out there. They all had their opinions, so I dove into the stats, comparing Akers and Dobbins side by side.
I looked at their average draft positions (ADP) to see where other folks were picking them. You don’t want to be the guy who reaches too early or misses out, right? I also checked out some projections for Week 18, trying to get a sense of who might score more points. Dobbins, I saw, was projected to get around 12.6 points in PPR formats. That’s decent, but not mind-blowing. He’s supposed to get, like, 54.6 rushing yards and maybe a touchdown, plus a couple of catches. The dude’s got a high ceiling, for sure. I mean, he is averaging 5.8 yards per carry, which is nuts. But I also know he’s been sharing carries and hasn’t always gotten a ton of touches.
Then there was Akers. He’s had an up-and-down year. A few weeks ago, he was on fire, but then he kind of cooled off. The experts were split on him, too. Some were saying to start him, others were saying to sit him. Classic fantasy football dilemma.
- Checked expert opinions on various fantasy football websites.
- Compared Akers and Dobbins’ stats side-by-side.
- Analyzed their Average Draft Positions (ADP).
- Studied their Week 18 projections.
- Considered Dobbins’ high ceiling but inconsistent touches.
- Weighed Akers’ recent performance fluctuations.
My decision steps:
After hours of staring at numbers and reading opinions, I finally made my decision. I went with Dobbins. It was a gut feeling, really. I just thought he had a better chance of going off this week. Fingers crossed! I’ll let you know how it goes. Fantasy football, man, it’s a wild ride.
