Anyone going WR/WR in rounds 1&2? (1 Viewer)

[bulger2holt]

I have to stop taking part in big $ leagues, a lot of these line-ups are making me a bit jealous haha.

I think you are looking at 10 team leagues. Huge difference

 

[Ebaker5]

I like the challenge of the 12 team leagues. But the talent you get to use in a 10man league is fun as well.

 

[Leonidas]

Personally I can't hardly stand 10 team leagues. There's just no real scarcity unless you have large starting rosters.

 

[bweiser]

i did WR/WR with 11th pick in a 13-team PPR ... i was not happy at the end of the draft as my starting RBs are now Ryan Matthews and Frank Gore.

i also drafted poorly by not getting any depth at RB, but that's another story.

WRs drafted were Dez and Julio

 

[Polka King]

One of my buddy's drafts in an ESPN league I commish. I drafted one spot in front of him and took Graham, Ball, VJax, and Ellington to start.

9 Demaryius Thomas, Den WR

16 Dez Bryant, Dal WR

33 Reggie Bush, Det RB

40 Tom Brady, NE QB

57 Michael Crabtree, SF WR

64 Rashad Jennings, NYG RB

81 Maurice Jones-Drew, Oak RB

88 Darren Sproles, Phi RB

105 Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB

112 Cardinals D/ST D/ST

129 Coby Fleener, Ind TE

136 Brandin Cooks, NO WR

153 Bryce Brown, Buf RB

160 Johnny Manziel, Cle QB

177 Jace Amaro, NYJ TE

184 Greg Zuerlein, StL K

 

[rickyg]

Just finished my big money draft and went wr /wr. Like my team a lot. Feel like I have strength at every position except Rb. Adequate RBS but not much depth. Still I like it.

12 team standard scoring:

QB: Tom Brady

RB: Ryan Mathews, Shane Vereen, Mark Ingram, Knowshon Moreno

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson, Kendall Wright, Justin Hunter, James Jones, Markus Wheaton, Brian Quick

TE: Rob Gronkowski, Jordan Reed, Travis Kelce

PK: Nick Novak

TD: Chicago Bears, Houston Texans

Overview:

Your receivers are the strongest part of this team and you look good at tight end as well. It's rare for us to endorse a team with weaknesses at quarterback and running back, but we're doing it right here! You should have a contender here. But your margin for error in terms of inseason management could be a bit thinner than some of your competitors'. You must remain committed to finding 2014's emergent players at RB and QB.

Players we particularly like on this team include Demaryius Thomas, Rob Gronkowski, Jordy Nelson, Travis Kelce, James Jones, Justin Hunter, Markus Wheaton, and Knowshon Moreno. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Bottom line:

With great inseason management, we think you have about a 80 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With good inseason management, we think you have about a 70 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With average inseason management, we think you have a 59 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Gronk fell time in the 4th so I opted to take him over Patterson who I was really jonesing for.

I felt great about Brady in the 6th after passing on the big 3 qbs. I think Brady is in for a big bounce back year.

Demaryius and jordy are a sick combo.

Drafted knowshon 3 spots after miller and teased the miller owner about how I got the starter. Lol.

Jordan Reed slipped to the 11th so I snagged him as gronk insurance. Took kelce in the 14th.

Hope this helps!

 

[cholma220]

drafted last week in my long standing (8 years) 12 man 1/2 ppr (qb, 2 rb's, 3 wr's, te, k, def) at number 5.

1. Megatron
2. Julio
3. Spiller
4. Harvin
5. Vernon Davis (panic pick as all the top end te's were going)
6. Matt Ryan
7. Ray Rice
8. Pierce
9. Fred Jackson
10. Hakeem Nicks
11. Cutler
12. Mike Williams
13. Knile Davis
14. Kansas City D
15. Starks
16. Bryce Brown
17. Robert Woods
18. Travis Kelce
19. Nick Novak

Overall i love my starting lineup, but i need to do some work on my bench. I went in to this one having not looked at anything fantasy football related in months so i slept on some guys that i should have been targeting. Me deciding to go WR/WR was due to the fact that i don't see the value in guys outside of the top 3 maybe 4 running backs. All of them had question marks or weren't game changers so i finally did what i said i was going to last (which i didn't do and drafted Lynch and Rice...FML) and tried to gain a significant position advantage.

 

[The_Fonz]

I went WR/WR without meaning to but things happened that forced my hand.

I was picking 9th.

Calvin was still there! Had to grab him. And Jimmy Graham was gone.

ON the turn Dez was still there and all top RBs gone. I couldn't justify taking Gio Bernard or Doug Martin over Dez.

Ended up with the following roster:

QB - Cutler, Roethlisberger

RB -Ryan Mathews, Reggie Bush, Jones-Drew, Fred Jackson, DMC, Khiry Robinson

WR -Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, Kendall Wright, Malcolm Floyd, Wes Welker

TE - Jason Witten

K -Shayne Graham
D/ST - 49ers

Not sure if Wes Welker was a safe gamble but I got him late. Also kind of reached for Cutler a little early but if MJD still has something left and Mathews is productive I think the WR/WR strategy didn't leave me as hollow at RB as I thought it would.

 

[dhockster]

In 10 Team PPR, picked 8th and wound up picking Dez/AJ to start. Final Roster:

QB - Brady, Wilson

RB - Foster, Bush, CJohnson, Pierce

WR - Bryant, Green, Cobb, Welker, ESanders, Stills

TE - Ertz, Eifert

K - Tucker

Def - Arizona

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 K, 1 Def

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Picked 1.10 in a 12 team PPR QB/2RB/2WR/flex

1.10- D. Thomas

2.03- Dez (couldn't pass the chance to run these two out every week, but would have taken Ball)

3.10- Gronk

4.03- Gerhart

5.10- Mathews

6.03- Patterson

7.10- Foles

8.03- Fjax

9.10- SJax (hoping one of the Jackson old timers can somehow eke out 1000 total yards and 6 TDs)

10.03- Mike Evans

Bench depth no one cares about

Seems like a lot of people in this thread have Mathews as one of their backs.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I have pick 1.04 in my 1k league tonight (full PPR). Planning on going Megatron -> Jordy. Let's go!

 

[Polka King]

Drafted out of the 6 spot last night. 12 team, 1/2 PPR. Was targeting Lacy in the first and he went right before Calvin. Was targeting Ball or Martin in the second, but they went so I took Julio. Then Stacy went right before Cobb and Ellington went before Gerhart. Every RB I preferred in the first four rounds went a pick before mine. Decided to go WR WR WR for the first time in my ten year (and 50+ draft) career. I can't get excited over my starting RB's as hard as I try.

6 Calvin Johnson, Det WR

19 Julio Jones, Atl WR

30 Randall Cobb, GB WR

43 Toby Gerhart, Jac RB

54 Joique Bell, Det RB

67 Steven Jackson, Atl RB

78 Jay Cutler, Chi QB

91 Dennis Pitta, Bal TE

102 Brandin Cooks, NO WR

115 Tony Romo, Dal QB

Perhaps if Cooks, Benjamin, or Matthews are productive you can trade one of your top 3 receivers for a good RB a couple of weeks into the season.

I have pick 1.04 in my 1k league tonight (full PPR). Planning on going Megatron -> Jordy. Let's go!

I pick 1.04 but I am in a QB flex league so I am targeting a QB in round 1 (if the big three QBs are gone by 1.04 that means I have my pick of RBs and will definitely go that route) but, if history holds for my league, I will have a shot at the #2 or 3 WR on the board in round 2 and am seriously considering going WR/WR in rounds 2-3. Either way, unless a ridiculous RB value falls to me in round 2, which I doubt, I will be going WR or QB in round 2.

 

[BigDave]

Had out 10 team redraft last night. I went WR-WR

Took Calvin at 5 after 4 RB's went off the board. (passed on Manning)

D. Thomas feel to me at 16 so I pulled the trigger fast.

Wound up with lots of average RB's, but got Luck and Foles as QB's.

 

[AMT]

What leagues are you guys in where you can get DEZ at like pick 16? I just don't get it...

Also Julio Jones at 19 in PPR etc... I just don't know who all these other team are picking.

I'm guessing Qbs are going early as well as TEs. I was surprised at the number of TEs that went in mine before the 6th round. Some guys were even taking a 2nd TE by the 10th. We only have 14 roster spots.

I'm guessing some combination of .5PPR (much larger effect than perceived, to the point where upside down is much less viable), 10 team, superflex and just generally rather casual leagues.

It's not the way it used to be when we'd show up at the American Legion with our cheat sheets and magazines and be on our way. Online drafting on a site like ESPN gives the novice members of a league as fair a shot as anyone, and their values were pretty close to ADP this year. In the case of getting Julio at 19, I think 1/2 PPR watered down things a bit, but the online drafting phenomenon also took over. Most of my leaguemates have been playing for a while, but even they second guess themselves when they look at the player pool and see Aaron Rodgers at 9 and Doug Martin at 14. Incidentally, Julio's ADP in non-PPR is 18, so it is realistic he would be there at 19. We did have a few slight reaches before Julio (Martin, Foster, Brees, and Rodgers) but the first few rounds went as I expected.

Either way, unless a ridiculous RB value falls to me in round 2, which I doubt, I will be going WR or QB in round 2.

My draft is similarly skewed (but not nearly as heavily) as TEs get 1.5PPR which does alter the first couple rounds slightly. The fact that Jimmy Graham's possible 90 receptions all of a sudden turns into 135 shoots him up to the first overall pick in my projections. I'm not quite positive if my strategy would be considered "upside down".

Start - 1QB - 2RB - 2WR - 1TE - 2RB/WR/TE

[TheNext0]

12 team .5 ppr flex, picking from the 5 spot

1. Calvin

2. Dez

3. Jeffery

4. Gerhart

At this point, I was feel great. However, the guy at the 3 spot had gone RB-RB-RB and proceeded to grab 2 MORE RBs (Vereen and JBell). I had hoped to get one of those guys. Not sure what he was thinking.

5. Bishop Sankey - big reach here, I don't really love the guy, but hardly any RBs were left

6. Pierre Thomas - another slight reach, but I needed the depth

7. Eric Decker - I've gotten him around 7-8 in all my leagues so far, huge value

8. Cam Newton

9. Kyle Rudolph

10. Philip Rivers

11. Darren McFadden

12. Kelvin Benjamin - surprised he lasted so long

I'm happy with the team, but I'd be ecstatic if I had Vereen as my RB2 :\

As is always the case, the draft didn't break anywhere near to how I anticipated.

I landed Rodgers at 1.04 but it didn't break for me to go WR/WR in 2-3 because, inexplicably, Montee Ball fell to me at 2.09 (8th RB taken) and Russel Wilson fell to me at 3.04 (13th QB drafted), since this is a QB flex league and I am incredibly high on Wilson (plus Julio and AJ were taken at 3.02 & 3.03) I jumped all over him at that spot.

Ended up with Vincent Jackson (13th WR, 5.04), Julius Thomas (TEs & WRs are combined, 23rd receiver 6.09), Victor Cruz (25th receiver 7.04), Justin Hunter (41st receiver) & Kyle Rudolph (48th receiver).

I was kind of excited to go WR/WR but I'm okay with how it broke.

[AMT]

I took it to the extreme in my draft, not really by design its just how it went down. We start 2 flex splots plus 2 wr and 2 rb so you can start up to 4 WR and its PPR.

Drafting 9th ended up with 4 WR in the first 4 rounds.

1. Dez Bryant

2. Jordy Nelson (AJ Green, Marshall, Julio, Antonio Brown all went between my 9th pick and 16th pick overall. This is why I can't fathom how some people post their results with Demaryius Thomas in the first round and AJ Green in the second etc.)

3. Andre Johnson

4. Victor Cruz (don't love this pick)

I ended up not getting any TE I wanted so basically punted (Ladarius Green was my starter) then instantly post draft traded Jordy for Gronk and Decker.

Don't ask about my RB. Too embarrassing to post them.

 

[cvnpoka]

Picked 1.10 in a 12 team PPR QB/2RB/2WR/flex

1.10- D. Thomas

2.03- Dez (couldn't pass the chance to run these two out every week, but would have taken Ball)

3.10- Gronk

4.03- Gerhart

5.10- Mathews

6.03- Patterson

7.10- Foles

8.03- Fjax

9.10- SJax (hoping one of the Jackson old timers can somehow eke out 1000 total yards and 6 TDs)

10.03- Mike Evans

Bench depth no one cares about

Seems like a lot of people in this thread have Mathews as one of their backs.

gotta think patterson i bad here. gotta be a better rb there which would be important to shoring up that position. also, given positional needs, foles hamstrings that.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Looking at these teams. It makes me not want to go WR, WR... Just too many holes, imo.

 

[Casting Couch]

Looking at these teams. It makes me not want to go WR, WR... Just too many holes, imo.

If Jimmy Graham doesn't fall to me, WR, WR is a solid option for the first two rounds.

The point differential between Graham and the rest of the TEs screams value to me.

 

[AMT]

Looking at these teams. It makes me not want to go WR, WR... Just too many holes, imo.

Just like I posted in the "What happens when you take Graham 1st round" thread- these "holes" that you see on paper post draft are meaningless because 2 weeks into the year your starting different players anyway.

People love to look at their team and have the psychological reassurrance that "look at this team, everyone is SOLID!" Then the team that has more difference making players and 2 scrubs in their starting lineup finds a "solid" player for that spot and ends up crushing the "solid in all spots" team.

Patterson in the 6th round of 12 team PPR is madness. I don't care if I wasn't carrying a single RB, I wouldn't pass up someone with blatant WR1 upside in that spot.

 

[DukeBroadway]

I am wishing i would have gone WR/WR from the 10spot. I couldnt pass up on Graham though. In hindsight, if I went WR/WR I could have nabbed Gronk in the 4th. I could have gone Dez, Julio, Allen then Gronk. Instead I went Graham, Dez, Allen, Jennings. Vereen went one pic before Jennings.

 

[Gustavo Fring]

Drafted at the 1.08 spot in a 12 team .25PPR league with one W/R/T flex spot (6 teams make playoffs). I ended up going WR/WR as I just could not pass up the value at my draft position, based on how the draft turned out. Here is how it ended up:

1. (8) Demaryius Thomas (Den - WR) 2. (17) Julio Jones (Atl - WR) 3. (32) C.J. Spiller (Buf - RB) 4. (41) Rob Gronkowski (NE - TE) 5. (56) Reggie Bush (Det - RB) 6. (65) Tom Brady (NE - QB) 7. (80) Ray Rice (Bal - RB) 8. (89) Reggie Wayne (Ind - WR) 9. (104) Dwayne Bowe (KC - WR) 10. (113) Mark Ingram (NO - RB) 11. (128) Andrew Hawkins (Cle - WR) 12. (137) Kenny Stills (NO - WR) 13. (152) New England (NE - DEF) 14. (161) Russell Wilson (Sea - QB) 15. (176) Delanie Walker (Ten - TE) 16. (185) Blair Walsh (Min - K) Rate My Team Analysis:

We'll start by complimenting you on your strength at quarterback, receiver, and tight end. As you know, it's very difficult in a competitive league to assemble a team that is strong at QB, RB, and WR, so just about every team will have a weakness. As you probably suspect, we perceive yours to be at running back.

In 2014, that's not an instant fantasy team killer like it might have been five years ago. And in this particular case, we absolutely think you're strong enough elsewhere to overcome it. You've definitely got a good team here, but we'd feel better if we knew you were committed to keeping an eye out for the 2014 version of last season's Knowshon Moreno or Zac Stacy, or 2012's Alfred Morris.

Players we particularly like on this team include Rob Gronkowski, Andrew Hawkins, Russell Wilson, Delanie Walker, Mark Ingram, and the Patriots defense. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Bottom line:

• With great inseason management, we think you have about a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With good inseason management, we think you have about a 90 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With average inseason management, we think you have a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.

 

[frae]

14 team PPR league, I was drafting 6th and wound up with this..

1.06 Calvin Johnson

2.09 Julio Jones

3.06 Reggie Bush

4.09 Jordan Cameron

5.06 Shane Vereen

6.09 Emmanuel Sanders

7.06 Pierre Thomas

8.09 Russell Wilson

9.06 Justin Hunter

10.09 Jordan Matthews

11.06 Ryan Tannehill

12.09 Darren McFadden

13.06 NE D/ST

14.09 Jonathan Stewart

15.06 Blair Walsh

Obviously health issues with Bush and Vereen, but if I can stay active on the WW or McFadden/Stewart pan out it could workout. Once the first 5 backs were gone in front of me it was Graham or Calvin and I couldn't pass Julio in the 2nd as none of the RB's were nearly as reliable when healthy. I am ok with how it went.

 

[TZMarkie]

Had 3 $$$ drafts in the last few days, and in ALL THREE I went WR-WR.

Granted, I was in the 7 slot in one league, and in the consecutive 2 leagues, I was in the 8 slot.

(I seriously wanted to go this route this year, I'll explain later in this thread)

Had I drawn a #1- #2 pick, I may not have had the stomach to go Calvin Johnson, and I would have had to pick a RB.

Funny note- One league is a $200 league, and we drew draft slots in advance about a week ago.

One guy asked me point blank who I wanted at #8. (this guy was going off in the #2 slot)

I told him a week prior, "I would like to get Eddie Lacy at the 8th spot, but since I'm sure he will be gone, I will most likely get a WR since I am not wanting Jimmy Graham there".

Well, as luck would have it, someone took Manning #1 and Eddie Lacy fell to me, and I opted for Demaryius Thomas anyway. I was so happy with my previous two drafts I decided to go the same route.

This last draft (12 man, start 3 WRs/6 pt passing TDs) looked like this when it was over.

Demaryius Thomas

Julio Jones

Zac Stacy

Matt Ryan

Joique Bell

Bishop Sankey

Eric Decker

Dennis Pitta

Lamar Miller

Stevan Ridley

Darren Sproles

STL DEFENSE

James Jones

Mark Ingram

Nick Novak

A few notes-

I went with a defense earlier than expected, but there was a big "run" on defenses and there weren't any left I was looking for, and then I noticed STL sitting there. I correctly guessed I could get Ingram and another bench WR after, and the one I wanted late was James Jones.

So here was a case where going with a DEF a little earlier worked out in this scenario.

Also- a few might say I went with Eric Decker a little early, but that was to be expected. Since we start 3 WRs, the depth at WR really FLEW off the board in rounds 4 , 5 and 6.

QBs went off early too, and I didn't want to be "stuck" with Cutler, so I opted to get Ryan early.

Interestingly enough, I went Demaryius Thomas/Jordy in my two prior drafts. I almost went that way again, but I didn't want to be in that position where an injury would begin to hurt at all 3 teams. (Demaryius would still be a killer for me)

My thoughts this year, were to give up a little edge in RB numbers, if I could "make it up" at WR.

I view this as a "low variance" play, since the injuries occur so much more often at RB.

(I also think you could make up any deficit easier in our 3WR leagues, than a more traditional 2WR leagues...... I may go a different route there)

Lets say I give up theoretically 8 points a week at RB, since I may have RBs that are a notch below the top tier.

I essentially drafted in such a fashion that I believe I can make up that 8 point deficit with my WR corps, versus an "average WR Corps" across the rest of the league.

In this specific scenario, I think with the Rbs I have, I can find 2 serviceable RBs each week.... and my WRs are much stronger overall than other teams (on average).

I view Zac Stacy as a steady #2 RB, and Joique Bell essentially the same. BUT- In the event of a "not so rare" Reggie Bush injury, Joique Bell can flirt with RB1 numbers in an offense he is already going to be a big part of anyway.

I STILL have Sankey, Ridley, Sproles, Miller and Ingram and certainly one will give me decent numbers, with the most likely candidate being Sankey at some point.

ALSO- I still have the opportunity to find a producer off the wire, just like anyone else, when a few emerge from the pack just like happens every year.

For what its worth, I am tinkering with the idea of dropping Ingram or Miller and "cuffing" Zac Stacy with Benny Cunningham. The guy has been great preseason and in the event of injury, the guy will be highly sought after.

Bryant for kicks.

Granted, there are some weak players in this league, I feel I made out pretty well for 14 teams and having to go wr/wr.

1.10- D. Thomas

2.03- Dez (couldn't pass the chance to run these two out every week, but would have taken Ball)

3.10- Gronk

4.03- Gerhart

5.10- Mathews

6.03- Patterson

7.10- Foles

8.03- Fjax

9.10- SJax (hoping one of the Jackson old timers can somehow eke out 1000 total yards and 6 TDs)

10.03- Mike Evans

Bench depth no one cares about

Seems like a lot of people in this thread have Mathews as one of their backs.

And now we see why.
