Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football thing all season, and let me tell you, it’s a rollercoaster. Today, I wanna talk about a real head-scratcher I had: Javonte Williams. Do I start this guy, or do I sit him? It was a tough call, and I spent way too much time thinking about it.
First things first, I started by checking out what the “experts” were saying. You know, all those guys who supposedly know everything. Most of them were pretty split. Some said Williams was a definite start, others were screaming from the rooftops to sit him. That didn’t help much, obviously. It was like a 50/50 coin flip based on their advice, useless, to be honest.
Digging into the Stats
So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and dive into the numbers myself. I started looking at Williams’ recent games. He had some good ones, no doubt, but also a couple of duds. One week he’s racking up points like crazy, the next he’s barely making a dent. Talk about inconsistent!
- Game 1: 15 carries, 80 yards, 1 touchdown – Not bad!
- Game 2: 10 carries, 45 yards, 0 touchdowns – Meh.
- Game 3: 18 carries, 110 yards, 1 touchdown – Boom!
- Game 4: 12 carries, 35 yards, 0 touchdowns – Ouch.
Then I started thinking about the matchup. Who were the Broncos playing this week? Were they any good against the run? I checked out their defensive rankings and, well, they weren’t exactly pushovers. It was a tough defense that could easily shut down a running back like Williams. That made me lean towards sitting him.
The Gut Feeling
But then, there was this nagging feeling in my gut. You know that feeling? It was telling me that Williams had a chance to go off. He’s a talented player, and sometimes you just gotta trust your instincts. He’s been practicing hard, and I heard he was looking good in training. I started imagining him breaking off a long run for a touchdown. It was tempting, very tempting.
The Final Decision
After going back and forth like a madman, I finally made my decision. It was a real nail-biter, but I decided to… start him! Yeah, I know, maybe a little risky, considering the defense he was up against. But I had this feeling, and I decided to go with it. I figured, worst-case scenario, he has a bad game, and I learn something. Best case, he goes off, and I look like a genius! My friend was betting to bench him, he was laughing at me at first.
And guess what? He ended up having a decent game! He didn’t exactly light the world on fire, but he got me some solid points. It wasn’t a home run, but it was a win in my book. It turns out that my friend was wrong! It’s always satisfying when the hunch pays off, right?
So, that’s the story of how I wrestled with the Javonte Williams decision. It was a tough call, but in the end, I trusted my gut, and it worked out. It just goes to show you, sometimes you gotta go with your instincts, even if the “experts” are all over the place. Fantasy football, man, it’s a wild ride!
