That Jordan Addison, I tell ya, he’s somethin’ else. He play that football, runnin’ and catchin’, you know? This year, folks talkin’ ’bout him like he some kinda big shot in that fantasy football thing. I don’t rightly know all the details, but I hear the youngins’ talkin’. They say he gonna be good, a real WR2 option. I don’t know what that mean, but sound important.
They say he a good Flex player too, in one of them leagues, a 14tm, I think they call it. What in the world is a 14tm league? In my day, we just played with whoever showed up in the field! Heck, sometimes it was just me and the chickens. And for some other team, a non-somethin’, he a WR3/4. Lordy, these numbers and letters, they confuse an old woman like me. In a 12tm league, they say. They say in a 10tm, he ain’t no every-week starter. I guess it’s like choosin’ which rooster to put in the coop. You gotta pick the right one, or you ain’t gettin’ no eggs!
They say he gotta get to that end zone, that’s where they score. If he don’t, he ain’t gonna have a big day, fantasy-wise. Whatever that means. Sounds like a lotta work to me. Why can’t they just enjoy the game? That Ram team, they say he might do good against them. Borderline WR2, whatever that’s worth. I reckon it’s like sayin’ he’s almost as good as the best, but not quite.
This year, 2024, he got 84.1 of them fantasy points, they say, 9.3 a game. Puts him at number 29 for them WRs. Sounds like a lot of points to me. Like countin’ beans in a jar, except these beans are worth somethin’ in that fantasy world. My grandson, he tries to explain it to me, but I just nod and smile. He gets so excited about it.
- They say last year he was WR30, whatever the number means.
- This year, he gotta fix some red flags.
- Big red flags, they say.
- Somethin’ about touchdown luck.
- Sounds like he was just lucky before.
- I always said luck only gets you so far.
- You gotta work hard, that’s what I always say.
Last year, he did alright, though. Got an average of 11 of them points a game. That got him to WR28. Still a lot of numbers. Back in my day, we didn’t keep track of all that. We just knew who could run fast and who could catch the ball. Simple as that.
They askin’ if you should start him in Week 15. Week 15? What happened to all the other weeks? Are they just throwin’ away perfectly good weeks? They say check his news and stats and if he’s hurt. Injury updates, they call it. Like he’s a prize racehorse or somethin’. They got rankings and value and outlook. He 22 years old, they say. Born January 27. That boy’s still wet behind the ears!
They got all these notes and analysis and advice for that Jordan Addison fella. I reckon if you’re playin’ that fantasy game, you better listen to them. They talk like they know what they doin’. It sure is a different world these days.
They got all the news on him. Performance, and like I said, if he hurt. Fantasy ADP, value, fantasy outlook, news, stats, rankings… all of it. They keep track of everything. Back in my day, we knew a player was good if he could outrun a fox and catch a greased pig. Now they have all those fancy terms, fantasy outlook and such. I don’t know if he’s better than a fox or a pig, but people are saying he’s good at football. I guess that’s all that matters.
You know, it’s all a bit much for an old gal like me. I prefer the simple things in life. A good rain, a full pantry, a strong cup of coffee. But these young folks, they love their fantasy football. And if this Jordan Addison boy helps them win, well, then I guess he’s alright. Just hope he don’t let it all go to his head. Stay humble, that’s what I always say. Humility and hard work, that’s the key to a good life. And maybe a few touchdowns, too, if you’re into that sort of thing. The Minnesota Vikings sure are lucky to have him, that’s what they say. He’s a good ranking for them, I guess. It’s all beyond me, but as long as he’s happy, I suppose.
