Alright, alright, let’s talk about this Drake London fella and that Gus Edwards guy. Folks keep askin’ me, who’s better? Who should ya pick for your, whatchamacallit, fantasy team? Well, I ain’t no fancy expert, but I got eyes and I seen ’em play.
Drake London, that city boy receiver, he’s somethin’ else. That Atlanta team, they throw the ball to him a whole heck of a lot. I heard tell he got, what was it, 16 throws his way in one game? That’s a lot, even for a young fella. He caught a bunch of ‘em too, though not all. Eighty-something yards, they said. Not too shabby.
- He’s a catcher, that’s for sure. They throw it, he tries to catch it.
- Seems like the Atlanta fellas trust him. That’s important, ya know.
- But catchin’ ain’t everything. Gotta get them yards after the catch, too.
Now, Gus Edwards, he’s a runner. Plays for, uh, Baltimore, I think. He’s the kinda fella who gets the ball and just plows forward. No fancy stuff, just hard runnin’. Reminds me of my old mule, Bessie, stubborn and powerful.
The thing with these runners, they gotta get the ball. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Depends on the game, depends on what the coaches are thinkin’. And if they get hurt, well, that’s a whole different story. Gotta make sure they’re healthy, these fellas. Healin’ up right.
So, who ya gonna pick? London or Edwards? It ain’t easy, I tell ya. It’s like pickin’ between a good ol’ apple pie and a big ol’ steak. Both good, just different.
If your team needs someone to catch the ball, to get those yards through the air, then maybe London’s your guy. He’s got that city slicker speed, ya know? But he ain’t perfect, drops balls sometimes and that city team don’t always win. If your team needs someone to grind it out on the ground, to get those tough yards, then maybe Edwards is the better choice. He ain’t gonna break no long runs, but he’ll get ya a few yards every time, like a good ol’ plow horse.
I heard some folks sayin’ something ’bout “PPR”. Don’t know what that is, sounds fancy. But they say it matters. Something about how many points you get for catchin’ the ball. If that’s the case, then maybe London gets a little boost. But if you just need someone to get the ball across the line, then maybe Edwards is your man.
Here’s what I think, plain and simple. You gotta look at who they’re playin’ against. Some teams are tough against the run, some are tough against the pass. You gotta think about that. And you gotta make sure they’re healthy. A hurt player ain’t no good to nobody. And don’t forget to pray. Sometimes a little luck is all ya need.
Them fantasy football fellas, they got all these numbers and charts and whatnot. I don’t pay much mind to that stuff. I just watch the games and see who’s playin’ good. And I listen to what the fellas on the TV are sayin’, though sometimes they talk so fast I can’t hardly understand ’em.
So, there ya have it. My two cents on Drake London and Gus Edwards. Ain’t no easy answer, but hopefully I helped ya think it through a little bit. Just remember, it’s just a game. Don’t get too worked up about it. And if you lose, well, there’s always next week. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed my chickens.
One more thing, them fantasy fellas, they always talkin’ about “Week 1” or “Week 12” or whatever. I guess that’s important, but I just watch ’em play whenever they’re on. Don’t matter to me what week it is. A good player is a good player, any week of the year.
And if you still can’t decide, just flip a coin. Heads for London, tails for Edwards. Sometimes, that’s the best way to do things. Don’t overthink it, just pick a fella and hope for the best.
This “fantasy football” thing is a whole lot of fuss if you ask me. Back in my day, we just watched the game and enjoyed it. Now everyone’s got their noses in their phones and computers. But I guess it gives folks somethin’ to do. Keeps ’em entertained. And that ain’t so bad, I reckon.
Anyways, good luck with your pickin’. Hope you win your league or whatever it is you’re tryin’ to win. And remember, have fun. It’s just a game, after all.
Ultimately, choose who you think will play better that week. Watch the news, see if they are healthy. Make a good decision. Good luck.
