Okay, folks, let’s dive into my little experiment with Ricky Pearsall in my fantasy league. I’ll walk you through what I did, step by step.
First off, I grabbed the latest projections I could find. Sunday morning, bright and early, I checked out the numbers. The cheat sheet I use predicted Pearsall would snag about 9.3 points in a PPR format. That’s not superstar level, but it’s something, right?
Digging into the Details
The projection broke it down like this: 1.8 receptions, 55.5 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns. Okay, so he’s not expected to go off for multiple scores, but those yards could be handy.
- Receptions: 1.8 – Not a ton, but in PPR, every catch counts.
- Yards: 55.5 – Decent yardage, could help me edge out my opponent.
- Touchdowns: 0.3 – Basically, a chance at a touchdown, but don’t bet the farm on it.
I then use these to prepare my start-sit. I compared Pearsall’s projected points to my other wide receivers. I had a couple of guys with tougher matchups, so I decided to slot Pearsall in as my WR3.
Then,I watched the games unfold, keeping a close eye on Pearsall’s targets and catches. I constantly refresh my fantasy app, hoping to see the score of the corresponding game section get a change.
Ultimately, I tracked how Pearsall performed against his projection. And, I used this to re-examine my projection. I want to know if I’ve overestimated a particular team’s ability to defend against the pass, or maybe Pearsall is getting more looks than people expected.
So that’s it! That’s how I approached using the projections for Ricky Pearsall in my fantasy * that was clear!
