(S25) - PT 1 - Opening Statements

[Jo3fish5]

With the way Tatsu Nakumara is currently performing, he should not have been picked first overall in most fantasy leagues. Going into the draft, it seemed obvious. With the retirement of Franklin Armstrong, the Orange County Otters' quarterback, it made sense that Nakumara would go from a good season last season, to an even better one this season, however this is just not the case. For whatever reason, Nakumara is severely underperforming, with just 162 rush yards and 3 touchdowns. These stats put him at 21st place in fantasy points overall and 6th place among running backs. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but the player most people should have been drafting with their first pick is Keʻokeʻo Kāne-Maikaʻi. KKM is 2nd overall in fantasy and first among running backs. This season he has 238 yards on the ground with 4 touchdowns, as well as an additional 217 yards receiving and another touchdown, thanks to a monster week two game against the New Orleans Second Line, where he had more than 180 yards total, and four touchdowns. Keeping in mind the season is only a quarter of the way done, it is very possible that KKM falls off, and Nakumara might have a great second half, but as of now KKM is the obvious best player.
