Alright, let’s talk about this whole James Conner or J.K. Dobbins thing. I’ve been messing around with fantasy football projections and trying to figure out who to prioritize. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step.
First, I pulled up both players’ stats from last year. You know, just basic stuff like rushing yards, touchdowns, receptions – the usual. Nothing fancy, just getting a baseline.
Then, I started digging into some articles and expert opinions. I wanted to see what the “pros” were saying. Were there any injury concerns I should know about? Any changes in the team’s offense that might affect their performance?
Looking at the situations
- James Conner: He is in Arizona, and their team is projected to do very badly, meaning less redzone opportunity.
- J.K. Dobbins:He is in Baltimore, projected to be much better, but it’s also full of other good running backs and a QB who loves to run.
Next, I compared their average draft positions (ADP). This gave me a sense of where other people were valuing them. It’s not everything, but it’s a useful data point. Helps you figure out if you’re reaching for a guy too early or if you might be able to snag him later.
I also looked at their schedules. Strength of schedule can make a difference, especially for running backs. Are they facing a bunch of tough run defenses? Or do they have some juicy matchups against weaker teams?
Finally, I just went with my gut. After looking at all the data, I had to make a decision. It’s not always about the numbers; sometimes, you just have a feeling about a player.
In the end, after going back and forth, I decided that I would rather pick Dobbins, just because his bad games are better than conners, even if they don’t project to be great. Its just less of a risk, and I feel I needed that, but you do you.
