Okay, so today I was messing around with a fantasy football dilemma – Calvin Ridley or Romeo Doubs? I figured I’d walk you through how I tackled this, because, honestly, it’s a head-scratcher.
Digging into Stats
First thing I did was pull up both players’ stats from last season. I’m a big numbers guy, so I started comparing their targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns – you know, the usual stuff. I even looked at their consistency week-to-week, because nobody wants a boom-or-bust player.
- Ridley had a decent return after his suspension and put up respectable.
- Doubs, on the other hand, showed flashes, but his performance varied quite a bit.
Checking Out Team Situations
Next, I figured I needed to see what was going on with their teams. I checked out any offseason moves, coaching changes, and quarterback situations.
Ridley moved to a team with QB Questionmark, which, you know, is risky. Doubs is still with his team, and there has been a change in their offensive coordinator. Will this change improve his game or not? I don’t know.
Reading Expert Opinions
Alright, so I admit, I’m not above getting some help. I checked out some expert rankings and articles to see what the “pros” were saying. It’s always good to get a different perspective, even if you don’t always agree.
Some folks were high on Ridley’s upside, pointing to his potential in a new offense. Others were more cautious, mentioning the quarterback uncertainty. For Doubs, the talk was about whether he could become a more consistent target.
My Gut Feeling
After all that, it came down to a gut feeling. I weighed the numbers, the team situations, and the expert opinions. Then, I had to ask myself: Which player do I believe in more? Who am I more comfortable starting week in and week out?
Honestly, It’s hard choice, They both have their pros and cons.
So, that’s how I approached the Ridley vs. Doubs question. It’s not a perfect science, but it’s a process. Hopefully, this helps you out if you’re facing a similar fantasy football decision!
