Okay, let’s talk about this fantasy football defense stuff. I’ve been messing around with it for a while, and I figured I’d share what I’ve been up to.
So, I started by checking out what some of the so-called “experts” were saying about the rest of the season’s defense rankings. I mean, who doesn’t love a good ranking, right? I dug around, and it seemed like everyone had their own opinion, but there were a few names that kept popping up.
First, I looked at a bunch of different sites that do these rankings. You know, the usual suspects. They all had these fancy charts and graphs, but honestly, it was a bit overwhelming. I just wanted some simple, straight-up advice. So I decided to ignore all the extra fluff and just focus on the actual player names.
My Strategy
- Started with expert opinions
- Ignored the extra stuff, focused on player names
- Compared rankings, looked for patterns
- Tracked player stats myself
- Made adjustments based on what I saw
Next, I started comparing these rankings. I figured if a bunch of different people were all saying the same thing, there might be something to it. I wasn’t just going to take one person’s word for it. I looked for patterns, like which defenses were consistently ranked high and which ones were all over the place.
Then came the fun part. I started tracking some of these players’ stats myself. Yeah, I know, it sounds a little nerdy, but it was actually pretty interesting. I looked at things like how many points they were giving up each game, how many sacks and interceptions they were getting, that kind of stuff. And you know what? I started noticing some things that the “experts” weren’t talking about.
For example, one defense was ranked really high, but when I looked at their recent games, they were giving up a ton of points. I mean, they were getting a lot of sacks, but that wasn’t enough to make up for all the points they were letting in. So, I made a note to myself – don’t just blindly follow the rankings, pay attention to what’s actually happening on the field.
After doing all that, I felt pretty good about my own rankings. I mean, I’m no expert, but I think I have a pretty good idea of which defenses are going to be good for the rest of the season. It’s all about doing your homework and not just blindly following what everyone else is saying. And let me tell you, there were some surprises. Like that Packers star, Josh Jacobs, who’s apparently been killing it lately, racking up tons of points.
So, there you have it. That’s how I went about figuring out my fantasy football defense rankings. It was a bit of a process, but I think it was worth it. Now all that’s left to do is to put my rankings to the test and see how they hold up in the real world.
