Alright, listen up, y’all! Week 2 of that there NFL, and them FanDuel fellas, they got me thinkin’. Folks are sayin’ it’s all about pickin’ the right players, but lemme tell ya, it ain’t that simple. It’s like pickin’ corn, gotta know which ones are ripe, ya know?
First off, them quarterbacks. Some folks get all fancy, talkin’ ’bout “yards per attempt” and whatnot. I say, look at who’s throwin’ the ball to who. See, if a fella’s got good receivers, he’s gonna look good, even if he throws like my ol’ rooster flappin’ his wings. This week, I’m lookin’ at that Titans fella, what’s his name… Tannehill? Yeah, him. He’s got that Henry fella runnin’ the ball, play action, you know, sneaky-like. And that opens things up for his receivers. Good bet, I reckon.
- Quarterback: Ryan Tannehill – Ol’ Tanny, he’s got them receivers and Henry runnin’ the ball. Sneaky plays, that’s what I like.
- Running Back: Derrick Henry – Big fella, hard to bring down. Gonna get them yards, and maybe some touchdowns too.
Now, them runnin’ backs. That’s easy. You want the big fellas, the ones that plow through them defenses like a tractor in a cornfield. Henry, that’s a no-brainer. He’s a beast, plain and simple. But don’t go forgettin’ them pass-catching backs neither. Them little scat backs, they can get ya points too, squirmin’ around like a bunch of worms after a rain.
And them receivers, well, that’s where it gets tricky. Everybody wants the fancy ones, the ones that catch the long bombs. But I like the steady fellas, the ones that catch the ball even when there’s a fella hangin’ on ’em like a tick on a hound dog. Davante Adams, that’s the fella I’m talkin’ about. He’s a sure thing, like sunrise and taxes. You get yourself a couple of them fellas, and you’ll be sittin’ pretty.
But hold on, don’t just go pickin’ all the big names. You gotta find them value fellas, the ones that don’t cost much but can still get ya points. Like that Clyde fella, Edwards-Helaire, they call him. He’s gettin’ more carries now, and that means more chances to score. And that’s what we want, ain’t it? Points!
- Wide Receiver: Davante Adams – Steady hands, that one. Catches everything thrown his way. Like a good farm dog, always reliable.
- Wide Receiver: Someone cheap, maybe a rookie – Look for them young fellas tryin’ to make a name for themselves. They’ll work hard for them points.
- Tight End: Someone who gets targeted – Don’t go fancy here. Just get a fella that the quarterback looks for in the end zone.
Now, don’t get me started on them defenses. That’s a whole other can of worms. You gotta look at who they’re playin’ against. If they’re playin’ against a team that can’t score, well, that’s a good bet, ain’t it? Look for them teams that got good pass rushers, them fellas that can get to the quarterback and make him throw the ball all willy-nilly. That’s where the turnovers come from, and turnovers mean points.
And finally, them kickers. Don’t forget them kickers! They might not be exciting, but they can get you points too. Just make sure they’re kickin’ in a dome, or somewhere where the wind don’t blow too much. Nothin’ worse than a missed field goal, ruins your whole day, like a skunk in the henhouse. Find a kicker who’s reliable, not one of them fellas who misses more than he makes. A steady kicker is worth his weight in gold, I tell ya.
- Defense: Team playing against a bad offense – Simple as that. If the other team can’t score, your defense looks good.
- Kicker: Someone reliable – Don’t need fancy here. Just someone who can kick the ball through them yellow posts every time.
So, there you have it. My advice for this week’s FanDuel thing. It ain’t rocket science, you know? Just use your common sense, pick the fellas who are gonna get you points, and don’t overthink it. And remember, even if you lose, it ain’t the end of the world. There’s always next week, and plenty more football to be played. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. Good luck, y’all, and may your FanDuel lineup bring you more green than a field of spring corn!
