Alright, listen up, y’all. We gotta figure out this football stuff. Amari Cooper or Rhamondre Stevenson? Who the heck do we pick? It’s like choosin’ between two chickens at the market, both lookin’ plump, but ya only got enough coin for one.
First off, gotta see if these fellas are even gonna play. Don’t wanna pick a fella who’s sittin’ on the bench with a boo-boo, ya know? Gotta check the news, see if they’re healthy and ready to rumble. Like makin’ sure your rooster ain’t got the sniffles before he goes struttin’ around the hen house.

Now, some folks, they call themselves “experts.” They got all these fancy numbers and charts, talkin’ ’bout “fantasy football” and “metrics.” Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me, but I guess some folks like that kinda stuff. They say they can tell ya who to pick, but I always say, trust your gut. It’s like plantin’ corn, ya gotta feel the soil, ya know? Can’t just rely on some fella in a suit tellin’ ya when to plant.
These experts, they’re gabbin’ on and on about “drafting” these fellas. Draftin’ sounds like somethin’ you do with a beer and a bunch of buddies, not football players. But anyways, they say there’s a lot of advice out there, over a hundred experts chimin’ in. That’s more opinions than there are chickens in my coop, I tell ya!
What about this “startin’” business? They’re askin’, “Who should I start? Amari Cooper or Rhamondre Stevenson?” Startin’ sounds important. Like startin’ a fire in the mornin’ to cook breakfast, gotta get it right. These tools, they say they can help you decide who to put in your lineup. Lineup? Sounds like somethin’ you do at the county fair, not football. But hey, if it helps ya win, I guess it’s alright.
Then there’s this “ADP data.” Don’t even ask me what that stands for. Sounds like somethin’ a city slicker made up. But they say it tells ya where other folks are pickin’ these fellas. So, if everyone’s grabbin’ Amari, maybe he’s the good one? Or maybe they’re all just followin’ each other like a bunch of sheep. Hard to say.
- Amari Cooper: He’s a receiver, I think. That means he catches the ball, right? Like a good dog catchin’ a frisbee. If he’s good at catchin’, maybe he’s a good pick.
- Rhamondre Stevenson: This fella, I hear he runs with the ball. Like a bull in a china shop, I reckon. If he can run good and not get tackled, maybe he’s the one to go with.
They got all these rankings and projections too. Rankings, that’s like who’s the best and who’s the worst, right? Projections, that’s like guessin’ what’s gonna happen. Guessin’ is for the weather man, I say. But these folks, they’re projectin’ how many points these fellas gonna score. Points win games, so I guess that’s important.
So, here’s the deal. You gotta weigh it all out. Health, expert opinions (if ya believe ’em), what other folks are doin’, and what these fellas actually do on the field. It ain’t easy, but nothin’ worthwhile ever is. It’s like pickin’ the best watermelon at the market, gotta thump a few, look ’em over real good, and then just trust your gut.

At the end of the day, it’s your team, your choice. Don’t let nobody tell ya who to pick. Do your research, listen to your gut, and hope for the best. And if it don’t work out, well, there’s always next year. Just like plantin’ crops, sometimes ya get a good harvest, sometimes ya don’t. That’s just the way it is.
