Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… K. Walker the third, fantasy guy, football player, you know? My grandson, he’s always yellin’ about this stuff, so I figured I’d try and make some sense of it, ya know, like he does, but in my own words, plain and simple.
So, this Walker fella, he plays for the… Sea-hawks, I think they’re called. City birds, I guess. He runs with the ball, that’s what he does. They call him a “running back,” kinda like how we used to run back from the fields when the dinner bell rang, only this fella does it with a bunch of big ol’ guys tryin’ to tackle him. Sounds tiring if you ask me.
Now, this “fantasy” thing, it’s like a game, but not the kind you play with cards or dice. It’s like… you pick players, and if they do good in the real games, you get points, or somethin’. My grandson, he’s always fussin’ over his “team,” says this Walker guy is important. Says he’s a “RB2.” Don’t ask me what that means, some kinda rankin’, I guess. Like, not the best, but not the worst neither. Kinda like that middle child, always gettin’ overlooked.
They’re sayin’ this Walker guy, he did alright last year. Not great, not terrible. Finished… 22nd, they say, amongst all them other running backs in some point thingy. PPR, they call it. Sounds fancy, but probably just means how many times he ran with the ball without gettin’ his legs broke. Twenty-second, though… that ain’t bad, right? But it ain’t the best neither. My grandson, he wants the best, always fussin’ and moanin’ if his players don’t do good. Kids these days, so impatient.
This year, though, things might be different. They got a new… uh… “offensive coordinator,” whatever that is. Some young fella named Grubb, sounds like a pig farmer to me. Nobody knows how this Grubb fella’s gonna do things. Maybe Walker will run more, maybe less. It’s all a big ol’ question mark, just like whether it’ll rain tomorrow. Can’t trust nobody these days.
- So, is Walker a good pick for this “fantasy” thing?
- Well, that depends, I guess. He’s a risk, they say.
- Could be good, could be bad. Like plantin’ seeds, sometimes they grow, sometimes they don’t.
They say he costs the Seahawks only a little bit of money, compared to some of them other fellas. 2.3 million, they say. That’s a lot of money to me, but I guess in their world, it ain’t so much. They pay these fellas a king’s ransom just to run around with a ball. Crazy, if you ask me. Back in my day, you ran because you had to, not ‘cause someone paid you.
And this Walker fella, he’s been playin’ a lot when he’s not hurt. That’s important, they say. Can’t do much runnin’ if you’re sittin’ on the bench with a bum leg. He’s been a “big part” of the team, they say, whatever that means. Guess he’s important.
But even if he plays, he ain’t always done so great. Sometimes he runs good, sometimes he don’t. They call it “inefficient.” Like churnin’ butter too long and gettin’ nothin’ but sore arms. He’s supposed to be “dependable,” though. A “RB2,” remember? Not the best, not the worst. Just kinda… there.
So, if you’re playin’ this fantasy thing, and you need a running back, Walker might be alright. He might not be. It’s a gamble, just like life. You plant your seeds, hope for the best, and don’t cry too much if the crows get to ‘em first. That’s what I always say, anyway. And this Walker fella? He’s just a seed in the wind, same as the rest of us.
That’s all I got to say about this… fantasy football and this K. Walker the third. Hope it made some kinda sense. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my own crops. At least I know what I’m gettin’ with them.
