Okay, so today I was trying to decide between Mike Evans and Adam Thielen for my fantasy football team. It was a tough one, so I figured I’d walk you through my process, and how I finally make the decision.
Digging into the Stats
First, I pulled up their stats for the season so far. You know, just eyeballing their game logs, receptions, yards, touchdowns – the usual stuff. I wanted to get a general feel for how they’d both been performing. I even checked their targets to see how often their quarterbacks were looking their way.
- Mike Evans: Always a solid choice, but kind of boom or bust. Big games followed by some quiet ones.
- Adam Thielen: He’s getting a suprising volume.
Considering the Matchups
Next, I looked at who they were playing this week. A tough defense can shut down even the best receiver, right? So I dug into some defensive stats, checking out things like passing yards allowed and fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. I tried to find expert opinions to get their thoughts on which one has a favorable matchup.
- Think who has a better cornerback.
- Consider the safety play over the top.
Thinking About Quarterback Play
Of course, a receiver is only as good as the guy throwing him the ball. So I considered the quarterback situation for both guys. A struggling quarterback can drag down even the most talented receiver’s numbers.
Trust My Gut
Finally, I decided to trust my gut feeling.
The Verdict
After all that, I went with… well, I flipped a coin, Just kidding. I’ll reveal my pick before the games start. The important thing is to go through the process, consider all the factors, and make the best decision you can. It is all my opinions today.
