Diggs or Thielen

Postby L’stone » Tue May 14, 2019 2:06 pm

For team below. Is it as straightforward as take the younger player?
14 team Dynasty: second year, 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 2 Flex, 1K, 1DEF. Default scoring except QB TD 6 points, INT -3 points. Bolded is roughly the base weekly lineup.

QB: Carson Wentz
RB: Saquon Barkley, Todd Gurley
WR: Julio Jones, Adam Thielen, Amari Cooper
TE: Zach Ertz
K: Robbie Gould
DEF: Cowboys
Flex and Sub Options:
QB: Brady, Manning
RB: Mack, Damien Williams, Hines, Dexter Williams
WR: Edelman, Robinson, Boykin, Cain
TE: Warring, Sample
DEF: 49ers, Chiefs

2020: 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd
2021: 1st, 3rd

The age factor is the biggest difference for me. I think they'll both continue to score similarly, so why not get the guy who's 3.5 years younger.

Diggs and yes, due to age alone

Redraft I trust Thielen more and would take him 1st.
Dynasty the age pushes me to Diggs pretty easily.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

There is a "myth busters" article posted on the dlf main page on May 9, take a look at that. Diggs has the age and likely more production moving forward as he is likely to get more targets. Diggs over Thielen and it isn't that close imo.
