Man, let me tell you about the headache I had this week trying to figure out my fantasy football lineup. It all came down to this: Jerome Ford or David Montgomery? These two were just sitting there on my roster, and I had to pick one. It was a real nail-biter, let me say.
First off, I dug into what happened with these guys recently. Montgomery, that dude signed a sweet three-year deal with the Lions, $18 million! Started the season strong but then got messed up with a rib injury in week 6. But get this, even after coming back, from Week 10 onwards, he was still bringing in those fantasy points. So, he’s been a solid player, even splitting time.
- March 16, 2023: Montgomery signs with the Lions.
- Week 6: Gets injured.
- Week 10 onwards: Still delivering points.
Then there’s Ford. I went online, checked out all those fantasy football sites – you know, the ones where everyone’s an expert? A lot of them were asking the same question: Ford or Montgomery? It seemed like everyone was in the same boat as me.
Digging Deeper
I started looking at their recent performances. Montgomery had a few games where he racked up 15 or more fantasy points – eight games, to be exact. He’s like a cornerstone for Detroit’s offense. That’s pretty reliable, right?
But then, I saw that some folks were saying both Ford and Montgomery were solid picks for Week 2. That didn’t help me much! I needed to figure out who to start for Week 17, not ancient history.
The Real Headache
So, I’m there, staring at my screen, flipping between different “expert” advice. Some were all about starting Montgomery for Week 17, others were talking about Ford. It was like a tug-of-war in my brain. And these weren’t just random guesses; they were throwing around terms like “PPR projections” and all that jazz, trying to sound all smart.
I even found this one tool, supposed to tell you instantly who to start. But guess what? It was still a toss-up between Ford and Montgomery. Like, thanks for nothing, right?
The Long-Term View
Then I thought, maybe I should look at the bigger picture. Who should I even consider drafting for the 2024 season? Again, it was split. Some experts were leaning towards Montgomery, others towards Ford. It’s like, can someone just make a clear decision for once?
Making the Choice
After all this back and forth, I finally made a choice. It wasn’t easy, and honestly, it felt like a gamble. I went with my gut, and… well, you’ll have to wait and see how that turned out. I’ll update you guys later on whether it was a genius move or a total flop.
Fantasy football, man. It’s supposed to be fun, but sometimes it’s just a big, stressful puzzle. Anyway, that’s my story for this week. Let’s see if my decision pays off!
