Okay, so I was messing around with this fantasy football thing, right? I wanted to see if I could figure out who the top 10 players were. First, I just started poking around online, looking at different websites that had rankings from a bunch of so-called “experts.”
I was trying to find, you know, some kind of agreement between them. So I started making a list, a rough one, just jotting down names that kept popping up.
Then I dove into those “cheatsheets” that everyone talks about. I looked at a whole bunch of them, trying to see which players were consistently ranked high. I found some interesting discrepancies, but also some clear favorites. I also started thinking about draft order. Like, if you’re picking first, you’re probably grabbing Christian McCaffrey, right? He’s the big name, the guy who scored the most points last year. But what if you’re picking second? Things get trickier then.
Here’s what I did next: I went through all the players these experts seemed to be avoiding or really excited about, and, I tell you, there were some surprises. The more I looked, the more complex it became, which is kind of fun.
- Christian McCaffrey
- Austin Ekeler
- (Then I got a little stuck, it gets fuzzy here)
- Player 4
- Player 5
- Player 6
- Player 7
- Player 8
- Player 9
- Player 10
My rough top 10 list looks something like this after all that digging:
It’s not perfect, but it’s a start. I still have plenty of research to do and might shake it up as I figure things out.
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. It’s a pretty interesting puzzle, this fantasy football thing. I’m still not sure how much I believe all these expert predictions, but it’s been a fun way to kill some time. I’m gonna keep messing with it, see if I can get better at predicting this stuff.
