Man, choosing between Hayden Hurst and Dalton Schultz for my fantasy football team was a real head-scratcher. I spent hours going back and forth, not really sure who to pick. I mean, they both seemed like solid options, but I just couldn’t make up my mind.
First, I started digging into their stats from the last season. Looked at their targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Schultz seemed to have a slight edge in overall production, but Hurst was getting a good amount of red-zone looks. So, that was a toss-up.
- Schultz’s stats were a bit better overall.
- Hurst had more red-zone targets.
Then, I tried to figure out their teams’ offensive situations. Were they gonna be throwing the ball a lot? Did they have other good receivers who would steal targets? Both teams seemed pretty balanced, but I felt like Schultz’s team might rely on the passing game a little more. Another tough call.
Next, I scoured the internet for expert opinions. Read a bunch of articles and watched some videos from fantasy football gurus. Some were high on Hurst, saying he was due for a breakout year. Others were leaning towards Schultz, pointing to his consistency and proven track record. My brain was fried at this point.
Expert Opinions
- Some experts predicted a breakout year for Hurst.
- Other experts preferred Schultz’s consistency.
Decided to simulate some games, just for kicks. I know it’s not a perfect science, but I like to do it anyway. In most of the simulations, Schultz outperformed Hurst, but not by a huge margin. This was not helping!
Finally, I just went with my gut. I ended up choosing Schultz. He just felt like the safer pick, and I figured he’d get more consistent targets throughout the season. Plus, I saw somewhere that he had 33-plus receiving yards in four of his last six games.
It was a tough decision, and I’m still not 100% sure I made the right call. But hey, that’s fantasy football for you. You make the best decision you can with the information you have, and then you hope for the best. We’ll see how it plays out.
Ultimately, I selected Dalton Schultz as my starting tight end. Time will tell if I made the right decision, but I’m hoping for the best!
The whole process really drained me. I spent so much time and energy trying to make the perfect choice. But you know what? That’s part of the fun of fantasy football. It’s a game of strategy, analysis, and a little bit of luck. And sometimes, even after all the research, you just gotta go with your gut.
I learned that sometimes, there’s no clear-cut answer in fantasy football. It’s not always black and white. You just have to use your best judgment, and I can tell you that my judgment got better after this whole process. Hopefully, Schultz will put up some big numbers for me this year! Fingers crossed.
