Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into fantasy football stuff lately, trying to figure out my draft strategy. And there’s this big question that’s been bugging me: D’Andre Swift or Rashaad Penny for the Eagles?
I started by looking at what people were saying online. Some reports mentioned that Penny got the first carry in the Eagles’ training camp drills. That made me think, “Hmm, maybe Penny is the guy to watch.” But then I remembered how good Swift was in Detroit. I mean, the dude’s got moves!
So, I decided to dig deeper. I watched some of their past games. I saw Swift’s explosive plays, his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. That’s huge in fantasy, especially in PPR leagues. Then I watched Penny’s runs. This guy is a beast when he’s healthy. Powerful, hard to bring down. But that “when he’s healthy” part is what worried me.
Next, I started comparing their stats. I looked at their rushing yards, touchdowns, receptions, the whole nine yards. Swift seemed more consistent, especially with his receiving numbers. But Penny’s got a higher ceiling, in my opinion. If he stays healthy, he could be a league-winner.
Then there’s the whole Eagles’ offense to consider. They have a solid O-line, and that’s good news for any running back. I also thought about the other backs on the team, Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott. Could they steal some touches? Probably. That added another layer of complexity to my decision-making process.
- Initial Reaction: Penny’s the starter? Interesting…
- Watching the Tape: Swift’s agility vs. Penny’s power.
- Stat Comparison: Swift’s consistency vs. Penny’s potential.
- Team Context: Good O-line, but what about the other backs?
My Thought Process
After all this research and thinking, I’m still not 100% sure. It’s a tough call. Right now, I’m leaning towards Swift, mainly because of his receiving ability and injury history that’s a bit less concerning than Penny’s. But man, Penny’s upside is tempting. It’s gonna be a game-time decision for me, I guess. I’ll be watching those preseason games like a hawk!
