Alright, so you wanna know how I tackled the Drake London vs. Tee Higgins dilemma, huh? It was a real head-scratcher for a bit, but I think I finally landed on a decision I’m happy with. Let me walk you through my thought process.
First off, I started by just watching a ton of tape. Like, hours and hours. I wanted to see how both guys moved, how they created separation, and how they performed in different situations. You gotta see it to believe it, right?
Next, I dove into the stats. Yeah, I know, numbers aren’t everything, but they do tell a story. I looked at things like targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns, and even stuff like yards per route run. I wanted to get a feel for their efficiency.
Then, I started thinking about their situations. Who are their quarterbacks? What are their offenses like? What other receivers are on their teams? These things matter! A great receiver can be held back by a bad situation.
- Drake London: Man, this dude is a big-bodied beast. He can win contested catches like nobody’s business. But, the Falcons’ offense… let’s just say it’s a work in progress. And the QB situation? Questionable, at best.
- Tee Higgins: Smooth route runner, great hands, and he’s playing with Joe Burrow! Plus, he’s got Ja’Marr Chase drawing a lot of attention. But, he’s also sharing targets with Chase, which caps his ceiling a bit.
Honestly, it was tough. London has the potential to be a true alpha receiver, but the situation in Atlanta is a major concern. Higgins is in a much better situation, but he’s not the undisputed top dog on his team.
So, after all that, where did I land? I ended up leaning towards Tee Higgins.
My reasoning? The consistency. Higgins is playing in a proven offense with a top-tier quarterback. He’s going to get his targets, and he’s going to produce. London has the higher ceiling, maybe, but the risk is just too high for me right now. Give me the guy who’s going to give me solid production week in and week out.
Plus, let’s be real, watching Burrow sling it to Higgins is just plain fun. Ultimately, it came down to safety versus upside, and I chose the safer bet. But hey, that’s just my take. What do you guys think?
