Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about this Braelon Allen fella and his fantasy football stuff. Don’t know much about these fancy computer games, but I know a thing or two about running backs, seein’ as how I watched my boys play football back in the day.
So, this Braelon Allen, he plays for the New York Jets now, right? He’s a rookie, meaning he’s new to the whole NFL thing. Folks are sayin’ he’s a good runner, “difficult to stop when he gets a head of steam going” they say. Sounds like a bull in a china shop, that one. That’s probably a good thing in this here football game, I reckon.
Now, these fantasy football fellas, they got these “PPR formats.” Don’t ask me what that means, sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. But they sayin’ Braelon’s gonna get ’em some points, maybe 8.4 points in one game, they say. They figure he’ll run the ball maybe 10 times, get somethin’ like 45 yards. Sometimes he gets more, sometimes less, just like life, ain’t it?
- They say he’s a RB3 or a low-end flex. Whatever that means. Sounds like he’s not the main man, but he can still get you some points.
- One time, they was sayin’ he’d only get 3.5 points. That ain’t much, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
- They also talkin’ ‘bout some “FAAB” thing, and how much money you should spend on him. Sixty to eighty dollars if you got another fella named Hall, twenty or thirty if you don’t. Sounds like gamblin’ to me, but these city folk sure do love their gamblin’.
This whole fantasy thing, it’s all about predictin’, ain’t it? Like predictin’ the weather, but instead of rain, you’re predictin’ touchdowns and yards. And just like the weather, these fellas ain’t always right. One week they sayin’ Braelon’s gonna be a star, the next week they sayin’ he’s gonna be sittin’ on the bench.
They got these “experts,” hundreds of ’em, givin’ advice on whether to start Braelon or some other fella, Rico Dowdle. They look at all sorts of numbers and stats, tryin’ to figure out who’s gonna have a good day. It’s like tryin’ to guess how many eggs a hen’s gonna lay, you just never really know for sure.
Seems like Braelon had himself a “breakout game” not too long ago. Ran the ball seven times and did somethin’ good, I guess. They sayin’ he’s doin’ better than some of the other fellas, the starters even. This here Breece Hall fella, he’s supposed to be good, but Braelon’s outplayin’ him, they say. Just like that old story ‘bout the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady sometimes wins the race.
So, what’s the deal with this Braelon Allen in fantasy football? Well, from what I gather, he’s a young fella with potential. He ain’t gonna win you the whole thing by himself, but he can help you out, get you some points here and there. He’s like a good ol’ workhorse, dependable, not flashy. He’ll get you some yards, maybe a touchdown or two if you’re lucky.
But don’t go puttin’ all your eggs in one basket, as they say. This fantasy football, it’s a fickle game. One week you’re on top of the world, the next week you’re in the cellar. Just like life, you gotta take the good with the bad, the ups with the downs.
And don’t forget about injuries neither. They was talkin’ ‘bout Allen and injuries in one of them things they said. These football fellas, they get banged up, they get hurt. One minute they’re runnin’ like the wind, the next minute they’re on the sidelines with a bum knee. So, you gotta have a backup plan, just in case. Just like you gotta have a spare tire in your truck, you never know when you’re gonna need it.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about pickin’ up this Braelon Allen for your fantasy team, go ahead. He might be a good bet, he might not. But that’s the fun of it, ain’t it? It’s like plantin’ seeds in the spring, you never know for sure what’s gonna grow, but you hope for the best. And sometimes, you get a little surprise, somethin’ better than you expected. And sometimes, well, sometimes you just gotta try again next year.
Remember that Josh Allen fella too, they said he got a lot of points. But we talkin’ ‘bout Braelon Allen here, so don’t go gettin’ them two fellas mixed up now.
Anyways, that’s ‘bout all I know ‘bout this Braelon Allen and this here fantasy football. It’s a lot of numbers and predictin’, and I reckon it’s more complicated than plantin’ corn, but folks seem to enjoy it. So, good luck to ya, and may your players stay healthy and score lots of touchdowns.
