So, I’ve been messing around with fantasy football again this year. Draft time rolled around, and I was staring at the screen, debating between Jalen Hurts and Kirk Cousins. A real head-scratcher, let me tell you.
First, I dug into some recent stats. I found out that Kirk Cousins was in the top 5 for passing yards in the NFL. That got my attention. Then, I stumbled upon some betting advice that basically said Hurts is a “wait-and-see” kind of guy this year. It mentioned that even though Hurts is a beast, his fantasy points haven’t been stellar in 2024, and the upcoming game against the Giants wasn’t looking too hot. Plus, his price in daily fantasy was steep, $7,300 to be precise.
Next, I searched for some direct comparisons for Week 18. There were tons of recommendations from fantasy football experts, and most of them had stats to back up their picks.
Then I wanted to see what the pros were saying about drafting these guys for the whole 2024 season. Found a few articles with expert advice, and the consensus seemed to be a toss-up between Hurts and Cousins. Tags like “Fantasy Football” and “Jalen Hurts Or Kirk Cousins” were all over the place.
I even found advice specifically for the playoffs, which was a whole other can of worms. The Fantasy Footballers, whoever they are, had their opinions on Hurts versus Cousins for Week 1 from the playoffs.
More digging led me to some advice for Week 15. Same deal – lots of back-and-forth on who to start. And there were these tools, like the one that claimed to help you decide who to start between the two. They all had the same tags, like “Fantasy Football” and “Jalen Hurts Or Kirk Cousins.”
I came across this site, StatMuse, and they projected that Hurts would score higher than Cousins in Week 14, around 22.5 fantasy points.
Made a Choice
Finally, I found a detailed side-by-side comparison with all their stats laid out. It was super helpful to see everything in one place. Anyway, I went back and forth on this for a while. Checked some more expert opinions, looked at more stats, and finally decided to draft…well, that’s another story. But let me tell you, comparing these two quarterbacks was a wild ride.
To wrap it up
- Compared Jalen Hurts and Kirk Cousins for fantasy football.
- Looked at recent stats, expert opinions, and season-long projections.
- Found a lot of mixed advice, making the decision tough.
- Used various sources and tools to make an informed choice.
In the end, it was a fun deep dive into the world of fantasy football stats and predictions. It’s always a blast trying to figure out who the better pick is. Reminds me of the time I spent hours deciding which wide receiver to start, only for both of them to get injured in the first quarter. Ah, fantasy football, you gotta love it.
