Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football thing for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s a wild ride. This year, I decided to really dig in and try to figure out who the best players are. Here’s what I did.
First, I spent hours just scouring the internet. I was looking at all sorts of websites, reading articles, checking out player stats from last season, you name it. I probably went through like a million pages of information.
Digging Deep into the Data
Then, I started making lists. Oh boy, the lists! I had lists of running backs, wide receivers, quarterbacks, tight ends, even kickers and defenses. I ranked them based on their past performance, their projected points for this season, and even stuff like their age and who they’re playing for. I mean, you gotta consider everything, right? Some older players like Derrick Henry, 30, still got it. And Saquon Barkley is only 27 and he’s been killing it. I also saw that 26-year-old Josh Jacobs is pretty reliable. Gotta watch out for those guys!
After that, I started to narrow it down. I crossed off players who got injured, or who switched to teams that, you know, aren’t so great. I also compared my lists to what other people were saying, just to see if I was way off base or something.
Mock Drafts and More Mock Drafts
Next, I did a bunch of mock drafts. I joined some online leagues and practiced drafting teams, trying out different strategies. I experimented with drafting a top running back first, or maybe a star quarterback. It was all about seeing what felt right and what kind of team I ended up with. Sometimes I got Christian McCaffrey as my first pick and I felt like I won the whole thing already.
Finally, I put together my ultimate list of top players. It wasn’t easy, and I’m sure I’ll change it a million times before the season starts. But I feel pretty good about it. I’ve got a mix of experienced guys and some young players who I think are gonna break out. It is just some experience from me.
- Keep researching: Things change fast in the NFL.
- Do mock drafts: Practice makes perfect, right?
- Trust your gut: Ultimately, it’s your team, so pick who you like.
So yeah, that’s how I went about figuring out the best fantasy football players this year. It was a lot of work, but hey, it’s fun, right? Plus, now I’m all set to crush my league! Or at least, that’s the plan.
