Alright, you young’uns gather ’round, let me tell you somethin’ about this here “who to start week 2” thing. It’s like pickin’ which chicken to cook for Sunday dinner, gotta choose the right one or you’ll be eatin’ feathers. This week 2 business, it’s important, like plantin’ seeds in the spring, gotta get it right from the get-go.
Now, I ain’t no fancy football expert, but I seen a thing or two in my day. Like, you gotta look at the wide receivers and the running backs first, they like the workhorses of your team. Strong running backs and wide receivers, they’re like good, sturdy mules, they’ll pull you through. Then you think about tight ends, defenses, kickers, and finally quarterbacks. They’re important too, but them running backs, those are your bread and butter. So, for week 2, focus on them. A good running back is worth more than gold.
And this other fella, Likely, you hold onto him. If you got this other one, Engram, and he ain’t doin’ much, you stick with Likely. He’s like a good hen, layin’ them golden eggs. Engram, he’s like one of them fancy city birds, all show and no substance. This Likely fella, he looked good, so you keep him around for week 2. It’s simple, really. Keep the good ones and trade the bad one for week 2.
- Wide receivers – they catch the ball, like catchin’ a greased piglet, gotta be quick!
- Running backs – they run the ball, like a rabbit from a fox, gotta be fast!
- Tight ends – they like a mix of the two, gotta be strong and fast, just like week 2 player.
- Defense – they the ones stoppin’ the other team, like a fence keepin’ the cows in.
- Kicker – kicks the ball, like kickin’ a can down the road.
- Quarterback – he’s the boss, the head rooster, tellin’ everyone what to do.
Now, there’s these fancy websites with all these numbers and such, they say they can help you pick who to start, compare players and all that. They got these “experts,” more of ’em than you can shake a stick at, all givin’ their two cents. I reckon it’s like askin’ all your neighbors which seed to plant, you’ll get a different answer from each one. It might be helpful for some, but it can be confusin’, especially for a beginner in week 2.
They even got this thing called a “Start/Sit Optimizer,” sounds like somethin’ out of a science fiction book. Supposed to help you figure out who’s the best to play, up to six fellas at a time. Six! Back in my day, we just went with our gut. But, I suppose it could be useful if you like all them fancy gadgets and gizmos. It’s like choosin’ between six different kinds of manure for your garden, they all work, but some might work better than others.
I seen somethin’ about some “Must-Start” players, eight of ’em. Eight! That’s a whole flock of chickens! They say these fellas are gonna do real good, score lots of points, like findin’ a whole nest of eggs. Maybe they’re right, maybe they’re wrong. Only time will tell. Remember to check them before week 2.
They got all these shows and podcasts about it too, folks talkin’ about fantasy football, givin’ advice. It’s like the gossip circle at the general store, everyone’s got an opinion. You can listen if you want, might learn somethin’, might not. Just remember, at the end of the day, you gotta make your own decisions. You are the one to decide who to start in week 2, don’t let anyone fool you.
This whole thing, it’s a lot like tendin’ a garden. You gotta plant the right seeds, water ’em, keep the weeds out, and hope for a good harvest. Sometimes you get a bumper crop, sometimes you get nothin’ but dirt. It is the same with week 2. But you keep at it, learn from your mistakes, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll come out on top.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this “who to start week 2” business. It ain’t rocket science, just good old common sense. Pick the players who look like they can run and catch, and hope for the best. And don’t forget to have a little fun with it. After all, it’s just a game. Just like life, you win some, you lose some. But you always get back up and try again, especially in week 2. Don’t be scared to try new things in week 2, you might be surprised.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. And remember what I said about them running backs, they’re the key, especially in week 2! Don’t you forget it! Good luck, and may your team win! Or at least not lose too bad. It’s all about tryin’ your best in week 2, that’s all anyone can ask for, right?
