Okay, so I’ve been messing around with my fantasy football lineup, and I’ve got this dilemma: Drake London or Rashid Shaheed? Both are wide receivers, both have potential, but who to start? Here’s how I tackled this burning question.

The Initial Look
First, I just pulled up their basic stats. You know, recent games, targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns – the usual stuff. Just to get a general feel for how they’ve been performing lately. Nothing fancy, just the raw numbers.
Digging Deeper
Then, I started thinking about matchups. Who are they playing this week? Are the opposing defenses any good against the pass? Do they give up a lot of big plays? This is where I spent a good chunk of time, looking at defensive rankings and recent game logs.
Considering the Quarterbacks
- Drake London: I have a good feeling for Desmond Ridder.
- Rashid Shaheed: I’m a little worried about the connection with his QB.
The quarterback situation is huge, right? I mean, a receiver can be amazing, but if the QB isn’t getting him the ball, it doesn’t matter. So, I considered the quarterbacks for both guys. How have they been playing? Are they accurate? Do they take shots downfield?
Gut Feeling
Honestly, after all that research, it still felt pretty close. So, I went with my gut. You know, that feeling you get after you’ve looked at all the data, and something just feels right. Call it intuition, call it a hunch, whatever. Sometimes you just gotta trust your instincts.
The Decision
After all of it, I decided to go with * me.I started him.

This isn’t a recommendation for everyone else, of course. This is just the way I do things. My choice is also determined by my lineup, and that is the process and result that I got this time around.
