Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about this “NFL vacated targets” thing. Don’t go gettin’ all fancy on me, it just means some football players ain’t playin’ for the same team no more, and now somebody else gotta catch the ball.
So, like, this fella Leigh Oleszczak, he wrote somethin’ ’bout it. Said somethin’ ’bout Chargers, yeah, the LA Chargers. Said they got the MOST of these “vacated targets.” That means a whole heap of balls need catchin’. Now, I ain’t no expert, but that sounds like a big deal, right? Like, if you’re a new player on that team, you get to try and catch all them balls. More chances to be a star, I guess. Sounds like a good thing, unless you drop the ball all the time, then you’re in trouble, haha!
Then there’s this thing about the Colts. They say nobody likes the Colts, not even outside America. That don’t have nothin’ to do with catchin’ balls, but I guess it’s important to somebody. Maybe if they caught more balls, people would like ‘em more. Who knows?
Now, this “vacated targets” thing happens when players go off to be free agents, or they get traded, or they just up and quit, you know, retire. Then, poof! Them balls ain’t got nobody to go to. It’s like when the chickens get out of the coop, you gotta go chase ’em down. Same thing here, but with a football.
What happens after the deadline? Well, they said something about trading. Seems like after the deadline, you gotta wait till Wednesday to start tradin’ again. Like waitin’ for the store to open on Monday mornin’, you just gotta be patient.
They also talk about who gets the most chances to run with the ball or catch the ball. Seems like some teams got a whole lot more chances than others. More than 300 chances for the runnin’ backs, they say. That’s a lot of runnin’, makes me tired just thinkin’ about it. And wide receivers, too, they get lots of chances to catch.
- So, why does all this matter? Well, if you’re one of them fantasy football folks, it matters a lot. You wanna pick the players who are gonna get the most balls thrown at ’em, right? ‘Cause more catches mean more points, and more points mean you win, and winnin’ is always good.
- And if you’re just watchin’ the game? It’s still kinda interesting. You get to see which new players step up and become stars. It’s like watchin’ a baby bird learn to fly, except with more helmets and hittin’.
Someone also mentioned the Chicago Bears. Said they been targeted 12 times. I ain’t sure what that means exactly, but it sounds like somebody’s been throwin’ at them Bears a lot. Maybe they need to run faster, or catch better, or somethin’. I don’t know, I just watch the games, I don’t play ‘em.
And then there’s this thing about seein’ who gets the most targets all season long. They put it all in one place so you can compare. Like lookin’ at all the tomatoes at the market, tryin’ to pick the best ones. You want the players who get the most balls, ’cause they’re the ones who are gonna make things happen.
So there you have it, this “vacated targets” thing ain’t so complicated after all. It’s just about who’s catchin’ the ball now that somebody else ain’t catchin’ it no more. And it’s important for fantasy football and for watchin’ the games. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some dinner. All this talk about football made me hungry.
