Here's just the top Google page I found on my phone


Here's how I use statistics and I'll do it off the example from today.

Seattle has given up the most yards to receivers in football this year and it isn't close. Their offense is also hot so if all projections out there suggest cousins will be throwing the ball for 300 yds, why wouldn't i want 2 pieces of that? It can obviously support 2 and if nothing else one will go off.

I look at the over/unders sharks give us and use that as my stats, and since yardage is easier to predict than tds, that's what I lean towards.

I dont care that 2 receivers are on the same team, because if cousins does what he's expected, he can easily support 2 wrs. If not, hes almost surely supporting one and im not sure which one it'll be and I'm not sure the option to replace Jefferson from another game will be supported either.

In my example, I create a higher floor with cousins having go throw to someone to keep up in a projected shootout, but I lower the ceiling play because there's a solid chance both receivers won't boom.

In yours, you could pick the better play for the vikings and guess right for your wr2 elsewhere, but then you run the risk of guessing the wrong wr in the vikings game and guessing wrong elsewhere.

This is an exception to the rule

Also, what aren't you understanding about not wanting to put yourself in that situation. Yes if you're bad at drafting and get 2 WR on the same team and they are your best options you play them. BUT being in this position is very bad for your team in the long run and if you are in this position your team is likely not looking too good.

Going out and willingly looking to draft 2 wrs on the same team is a terrible draft strategy lmfao

And I think that's entirely wrong. If you end up with Julio and ridey, you aren't any worse off than if you went Julio and dj moore or juju or obj, whatever. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't.

And besides, he asked for start/sit advice. He didn't ask "should I trade...?" You play the guys who project to score the most points; it doesn't matter if you also have a wr on the same team. Just because you have a wr on the same team doesn't suddenly mean the 2nd wrs projection is worse; its still the same.

It has nothing to do with drafting. Jefferson was prob a waiver wire pickup and with all the insane injuries and covid byes, acting like you're better than others by spewing "bad at drafting" is a bit low for you.

Wrong and bad advice

I clearly know Jefferson was a waiver wire pickup and if you cared to read anything ive been saying (which clearly you haven't because I've had to correct you multiple times for assuming things that are incorrect) I know and stated Jefferson was a waiver wire add and that wraths situation is entirely different because of that

My diggs vs brown and I'm up 5, I should win no problem, right? My luck he'll get 30 and Diggs will do what Cooper did this week

There's no one else to throw to than aj brown and jonnu Smith. Assuming he plays. I think brown gonna have a game. Diggs could also have a game tho too. It'll be close

You win

Mixon or Taylor rest of season

Hard to say.
Gun to my head prob mixon

My Drake McLaurin Jefferson for Mixon and Tonyan (I currently have ertz)
