Man, today’s fantasy football draft was a real head-scratcher. I was stuck between two guys: Nico Collins and Zack Moss. Both had some serious upside, but it was tough to figure out who to pull the trigger on. I spent a good chunk of my morning just staring at their stats, trying to make sense of it all.
First, I dove into Nico Collins. The dude’s a big target, and with the Texans’ QB situation maybe stabilizing, I thought he could be in for a breakout year. I scoured through all the articles I could find about him. I looked at his last season’s numbers, and they were okay, nothing to write home about. But the potential was there, you know? I imagined him snagging those deep balls and racking up the points.
- Checked out his target share from last year.
- Compared it to the other receivers on the Texans.
- Tried to guess how many touchdowns he might score.
Then, I switched gears and looked at Zack Moss. This guy’s in a good spot with the Colts, especially with Jonathan Taylor’s situation being all up in the air. I read up on how the Colts’ offense might look this year and tried to determine if he will be the main character this season. Moss could be the lead back there, at least for a while, and that’s a lot of potential touches. I was thinking goal-line carries, short-yardage situations, the whole nine yards. I went through his stats from last year, too, and they were pretty solid when he got the chance to play.
The Deciding Factor
So, here’s what it came down to: big-play potential with Collins versus a possible workhorse role for Moss. I flipped back and forth in my head a few times. I even asked a buddy of mine who’s also into fantasy football, and he was just as torn as I was. Finally, I decided to go with my gut. I figured that a lead running back, even in a timeshare, might just have a higher floor.
I ended up picking Zack Moss. It was a tough call, and honestly, I’ll be watching Nico Collins all season long, wondering if I made the right choice. But that’s the fun of fantasy football, right? You make your picks, you roll the dice, and you see how it all plays out. I’m crossing my fingers that Moss gets a ton of work and puts up some big numbers. If not, well, there’s always next year!
