Okay, here is my sharing about “Ekeler or Mostert” today:
Man, I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football thing for a while now, and this year it’s been a real head-scratcher. I got this dilemma in my team. I gotta decide between Austin Ekeler and Raheem Mostert. Both are pretty solid running backs, but I just couldn’t figure out who to start or even who to draft.
So, I started digging. I looked up all sorts of stuff. First off, I was checking out those expert advice articles. These guys are supposed to know their stuff, right? I found a bunch of articles talking about the 2024 season. Some were all about why you should pick Ekeler, and others were pushing for Mostert. It was all pretty confusing, to be honest. Then I came across some tools, these online things that are supposed to help you decide. You put in the player’s names, and it spits out an answer. I tried a few of those, but they weren’t giving me a straight answer either.
Then I started looking at the ADP data, which is just a fancy way of saying where other people are drafting these guys. I figured if a lot of people are picking Ekeler early, he must be the better choice, right? But the ADP for both of them was all over the place. Some leagues, Ekeler was going early, others, Mostert was the hot pick. So, that didn’t help much.
Deeper Dive
I even went as far as to read about Ekeler’s concussion and him being put on IR. That’s some serious stuff. It basically means he’s not worth anything for the rest of the 2024 season. And if you’re looking for a replacement, I saw some names like Isaac Guerendo, Blake Corum, and Kimani Vidal being thrown around. They might be worth a shot.
They said, Ekeler finished as RB24 in 2023 after some good years. Fantasy managers remember his 2023 season as a massive bust, considering he was a first-round pick. That’s not good.
My Decision
After all that, I was still on the fence. It felt like a coin flip. But then I thought, you know what, I gotta go with my gut. I decided to stick with Ekeler for the first few games. He’s been a solid player in the past, and I’m hoping he can bounce back. Mostert is good, no doubt, but I feel like Ekeler has a higher ceiling if he’s healthy.
- I used a bunch of those fantasy football tools.
- I read expert advice from different websites.
- I checked out ADP data to see where others were drafting them.
- I did some research on players’ injury situation.
- Finally, I make my decision to start with Ekeler.
So yeah, that’s my story. It’s been a wild ride trying to figure this out. Fantasy football, man, it’s a crazy game. But hey, that’s why we love it, right? Hopefully, my decision pays off. We’ll see what happens!
