Alright, let’s gab about these football fellas, Mike Evans and Marquise Brown. Folks keep askin’ me, “Who’s better for my fantasy team?” Well, hold your horses, ’cause it ain’t that simple.
First off, we got Mike Evans. That boy’s been catchin’ balls for Tampa Bay for a good long while now. He’s like that ol’ reliable truck, always gets ya where ya need to go. They say he’s got a good connection with that quarterback, Mayfield. Somethin’ ’bout “pinning their hopes” on him, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, but all I care about is if he gets me points! He’s ranked pretty high, see, like a 3 outta 5 stars, or sometimes number 19 or 20. That’s pretty darn good in my book. Folks in them fantasy leagues draft him early, means they think he’s gonna be a star.
Then there’s this Marquise “Hollywood” Brown fella. He’s a bit newer, moved around some. People were real excited when he joined his new team, called him one of the “biggest acquisitions.” He got hurt in the preseason, shoulder somethin’, but they say he’s comin’ back soon. He’s like a racehorse, real fast and flashy. Now, some folks say he’s “criminally undervalued,” which I guess means he’s better than people think. They talk about his numbers when that other fella, Deandre Hopkins, wasn’t playin’ with him, said he was real good then. He’s ranked lower than Evans sometimes, but that don’t mean nothin’. He could be a sleeper, ya know? Someone who surprises ya.
- Mike Evans: Old reliable. Good connection with the quarterback. High draft pick.
- Marquise Brown: Fast and flashy. Coming back from injury. Could be a steal.
Now, deciding who to start, that’s the real pickle. It depends on who they’re playin’ against, see? Like, if Evans is playin’ against a team with a weak defense, that’s a good sign. And if Brown’s healthy and runnin’ fast, watch out! There’s these “fantasy football tools” that tell ya who to start, but I ain’t got time for that fancy stuff. I just go with my gut.
They talk about “draft strategy” and all that, but it just makes my head spin. Some fella named Mike Clay talks about it, but I just nod and pretend I understand. All I know is, I want players who score touchdowns. Like that fella Chase, or London, they say they got “touchdown upside.” That’s what I like to hear!
Another thing to think about is their “ADP,” whatever that is. Seems like it’s where folks are draftin’ ’em. They say Reed is gettin’ drafted ahead of Watson, even though they’re both “quality No. 3 receivers.” See, it’s all numbers and jargon! Makes me wanna pull my hair out sometimes. But I guess it matters to some folks.
So, who do you start? Evans or Brown? Well, if you want someone steady and reliable, go with Evans. He’s been doin’ it for years, and he’s got a good quarterback throwin’ him the ball. But if you’re feelin’ lucky and want someone with a higher ceiling, someone who could explode and win you your matchup, then maybe Brown is your guy. He’s got that speed, that “electric” somethin’ they talk about. He’s a gamble, sure, but sometimes gambles pay off big.
At the end of the day, it’s just a game, right? Don’t get too worked up about it. Pick who you like, cheer ’em on, and hope for the best. And if they don’t do so well, well, there’s always next week. That’s what I tell myself anyway. Just remember, touchdowns win games, and that’s what we’re all lookin’ for.
And for all those fancy words like “dynasty leagues” and “ADP” – pooh! Just give me a player who can catch the ball and run fast. That’s all this old lady needs to know.
