Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football dilemma – Zay Flowers or Chris Olave? It’s been driving me nuts, so I figured I’d just lay out how I finally came to a decision. It wasn’t pretty, let me tell you.
The Initial Panic
First, I just stared at my roster. Stared and stared. Both guys are good, right? But who’s better this week? That’s all that matters in the cutthroat world of fantasy football. My initial gut reaction? Honestly, I had no freaking clue.
Diving into the Stats (Ugh)
Next, I did what every responsible fantasy owner should do, but hates: I looked at stats. Targets, receptions, yards… the whole nine yards. My eyes started to glaze over after about five minutes. It’s like, numbers are important, but they don’t tell the whole story, you know?
- Zay Flowers: Seemed to be getting a lot of looks, a real target hog. But were they quality targets? Hmm.
- Chris Olave: Fewer targets, maybe, but he seemed to be doing more with them. Big play potential? Possibly.
So, the stats helped…a little. Not as much as I’d hoped.
The “Expert” Opinion Rabbit Hole
Then, of course, I went down the rabbit hole of “expert” opinions. You know, those guys online who swear they know everything. One site said Flowers was a must-start. Another said Olave was the obvious choice. So helpful, right? It felt like flipping a coin, but with extra steps and more frustration.
The Weather Report (Seriously?)
I even checked the weather! I’m not kidding. I was looking for any edge I could find. Is it going to be windy? Rain? Snow? Will one stadium be a wind tunnel of despair? It sounds ridiculous, but hey, desperate times, right?
The Final (Totally Arbitrary) Decision
Finally, after all that, I just…picked one. Seriously. I think I ended up going with Olave, mostly because I liked his matchup a tiny bit more. But it could have easily gone the other way. It was basically a coin flip disguised as “research.”
The lesson? Sometimes, you just gotta trust your gut (or a coin) and hope for the best. Fantasy football, man…it’ll drive you crazy.
