I’m having a lot of trouble deciding between the two. Currently I’m in hero, but I absolutely love both cards. Should I get to Darnell, or just get Simmons? Both would be amazing for my lineup.

for me I pass to my TE alot so as of now I'm just staying in champ 1 for Darnell ,Simmons is insane guess it just depends on your team I don't really need MLBs or TEs but I'll just go with a mammoth at TE... dudes huge aggressive catches with him will probably be elite

It depends on your personnel. Do you like the Tight ends that you have right now?
I'm rocking with Simmons cause I need more midzone KOs on my field. But Darnell is 6'7 and gets matchup nightmare for 0AP. That could go crazy.

I have Sean Taylor and Gronk in my middle. I could go for a new MLB, but njoku isn’t upgraded properly (the training packs call to me), and he’s only at 90 speed.

I’m going Simmons, for some reason his lowest tier card has MZKO and PA for 1AP where as his 94 hero card has none
gotta be a mistake… hoping they give him the same discount abilities when he’s released

Great debate and I'm also deciding on this dilemma, however, I always love Simmons cards. His MCS card I used for probably 2 months.

So I’ve been battling with this decision as well. Here is what I concluded.
Simmons by all accounts is a meta card, with meta stats at hero rank. His discounts are okay but nothing game breaking and potentially unnecessary depending on your scheme. Assuming you run a full or half TT the card will remain relevant for a while. The negatives with the card are the fact that the BSH, PR, Awr, pur, tak, and ibl are mid 80s or lower which will matter if he isn’t being user‘d. Most people run Nickel or Dime defense so having an elite LB like this may not matter if they can just use a safety.
Darnell is an interesting case. If you look at strictly physicals and receiving stats he is on par with the current best WRs/TEs in the game. The abilities are nice, if matchup NM works like in previous years that could pose some problems. On a full TT he easily would be the best combo of size and catching ability in the game that likely won’t be matched for quite some time. However the critical flaw with Darnell is his ball carrier stats, which are worse or on par with an 87 ovr TE. At that point you might as well wait for an updated Gronk, kittle, bowers etc. The flip on this is if you evaluated Darnell as a WR, with his size, blocking, cit and speed he basically would be in a class of his own and moved from WR to TE and eventually to FB when he no longer is relevant.
In Conclusion imo Simmons gives you a plug and play top tier card that might be susceptible to be blocked in the run game. Darnell gives you a versatile pass catcher who likely could carve out a spot on a team until the end of the year.
I personally will push for Darnell since I have a Ravens/49ers TT and LBs are a plenty.
