This Jalen Nailor, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout him. Say he plays that football, that fantasy football. I don’t know much ’bout that, sounds like kids playin’ games to me. But they say he’s with the Minnesota Vikings. They some team up north, I reckon. Some folks think he’s good, some don’t. It’s all a big gamble, like pickin’ the right numbers for the lottery.
I hear them talkin’ ’bout Jalen Nailor’s fantasy value and whether you should “start” him or “sit” him. Sounds like you put him in your team or leave him out. Like choosin’ which chicken to cook for Sunday supper, I guess. If you choose wrong, you get a skinny bird and no meat. If you put this Nailor in, will he score you some points? Or will he just sit there like a bump on a log?
They say this Jalen, he’s young, only 25. That’s young. Like a spring chicken. Still got a lot to learn, I reckon. He plays wide receiver, runnin’ around catchin’ the ball. Must be tiring. I get tired just walkin’ to the mailbox. He better stay healthy though. Injuries, they can ruin a player faster than a weasel in a henhouse.
One time I hear people talking about Jalen Nailor’s stats. It is like some kind of score. They got numbers for everything these days. I reckon these numbers tell you how good he’s doin’. Like countin’ eggs. More eggs, better the chicken. More stats, better the player, I suppose. But who really knows what them numbers mean? Just a bunch of jumble to me.
- They talk about his game versus the Jets.
- Then they talk about his game versus the Colts.
- Sounds like he’s travelin’ all over, playin’ different teams.
- Must be nice to see the world.
Some folks, they got him on their fantasy football rankings. They rank these players like they rank prize-winning hogs at the county fair. Number one is the best, I guess. Then you got number two, number three, and so on. Is this Jalen high on the list? Low on the list? It changes every week, they say. Like the weather, you never know what you’re gonna get.
They say this Jalen Nailor’s fantasy outlook changes from week to week. One week he’s hot, the next week he’s not. Like a pot of chili, sometimes it’s spicy, sometimes it’s bland. You just never know what you’re gonna get with this boy. He is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.
I heard some people talkin’ ’bout start Jalen Nailor in Week 16. Week 16? What in tarnation is Week 16? Sounds like they play this game for a long time. Longer than a mule’s memory. My old bones would be achin’ after all that runnin’ around. They need to rest, these young’uns.
Some other fellas was comparin’ him to another player, some fella named Allen Lazard. Which one’s better? Which one should you “draft”? Sounds like pickin’ teams for a schoolyard game. You want the best players on your side, that’s for sure. But how do you know who’s best? They both like two peas in a pod. It is hard to say who is better.
Jalen Nailor or Allen Lazard? It’s a tough choice, they say. Like choosin’ between apple pie and peach cobbler. Both are good, but it depends on what you’re hankerin’ for. Some days, folks want one thing, and some people want the other one. This is life. But these experts say they can help you make the right choice for your fantasy team. They have some tools to help you. It is some kind of magic they have there.
If this Nailor fella catches a touchdown, they say he’s a “top-24 fantasy receiver.” What does that even mean? Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me. Top 24? There must be a hundred fellas playin’ this game. Being in the top 24 ain’t bad, I reckon. Like bein’ one of the best milk cows in the county. You are good, but maybe not the greatest.
This whole fantasy football thing, it’s a mystery to me. But I guess it keeps folks entertained. Like watchin’ squirrels fight over a nut. It’s somethin’ to do. And these young folks, they seem to like it. So, who am I to judge? If this Jalen Nailor fella brings ’em joy, then good for him. He’s just a young’un tryin’ to make his way in the world, playin’ a game. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that, I suppose. Let him have his fun. He is just a kid, let him play. But I still think it’s all a bunch of hooey.
