Okay, folks, let’s dive into this whole Justin Fields versus Anthony Richardson thing. I’ve been messing around with some fantasy football stuff, and this question kept popping up, so I figured I’d do a little digging and share what I found.
First, I pulled up their stats from last season. Nothing fancy, just basic stuff like passing yards, rushing yards, touchdowns, interceptions… you know, the usual suspects. I just wanted to get a general feel for how they performed.
Comparing The Numbers
Next, I started looking at some expert rankings and projections. Now, I don’t blindly follow these things, but they’re a good starting point. I checked out a few different sites, just to see if there was any kind of consensus.
It seemed pretty split! Some people were all-in on Fields and his rushing upside, while others were hyped about Richardson’s potential in a new offense. It was making my head spin a little, to be honest.
Eye Test time!
So, I decided I needed to watch some actual game footage. I fired up some highlights and a couple of full game replays for each of them. I wasn’t trying to be a professional scout or anything, I just wanted to see them play with my own eyes.
- With Fields, I noticed how electric he can be with his legs. He can make some seriously crazy plays. But, his passing still looked a little inconsistent.
- Richardson, man, that guy is a physical specimen. He’s huge and can throw the ball a mile. But, he’s also pretty raw, and you can see some of that inexperience.
Making a Decision
After all that, I still wasn’t 100% sure! It’s a tough call. But, for my specific fantasy team, I ended up leaning towards Richardson. It’s a bit of a gamble, I know, but I’m going for the higher ceiling. Fields feels a little safer, but I think Richardson has the potential to be a real game-changer.
Finally, I set a reminder, it is very important to recheck this strategy in the future.
Ultimately, it’s all just a bit of fun. I might be totally wrong, and Fields could end up being the better pick. But hey, that’s part of the game, right? That’s my process, hope this is helpful in some way!
