For those wanting to take WR/WR on the turn in the 1st/2nd (1 Viewer)

I had a 12 team PPR redraft and had the last pick. The previous year I had the same spot and got burnt "reaching" for 2 RB's at that point. When you're stuck at the bottom you have to look at who will get you the most points. Will the 12th and 13th RB get you more points then #1 and #2 WRs?I was contemplating going WR-WR but Rudi Johson fell into my lap at 1.12I then went ahead and took Marvin Harrison at 2.01This was the 1st WR off the board and I had my choice at whoever and decided with Harrison. He is a model consistency and isn't that what you're looking for out of your top 2 picks? At 3.12 I was able to snag Roy Willams who I feel will be in the top 5 of reievers this season. 2 studs at WR in PPR league where only 2 WR are required is not a bad situation in my book.

I bet this did not go well. Looked good in August though...not being sarcastic.

In 2006, I took Steve Smith in the first round and Marvin Harrison in the second round. I finished in 2nd place in the regular season, and then narrowly lost in the finals to the owner who had Tomlinson (and that was with S. Smith getting a big fat zero championship week thanks to Delhomme being hurt). So, going WR/WR in the first two rounds can work. Of course, getting Frank Gore in the 4th round and picking up MJD after week 3 for nothing certainly helped.

Yes but it sounds more of a gamble to me. You were fortunate to do well with your 4th rd pick and was again with another good RB later. This stabilized your RB scoring. How do you think you would have done if MJD hadn't emerged for you?

I was already doing well before MJD started lighting it up, as Chester Taylor was my other starting RB, and I also had the Bears defense that year. I still would have finished top 3 without MJD. Tom Brady's inconsistency from week to week was what hurt me the most.

Somebody who took TO and Wayne with their first two picks could've done well for themselves. If you took Rudi, Maroney or Henry with your top you probably didn't fare so well.

I took Rmoss colston at the 3/4 turn

But that was cancelled by me taking Henry/Alexander at the 1/2 turn

I would say that 80% of the teams that drafted MJD in 2006 ended up in the championship game in 2006.

Not one league that I was in had a MJD team in the final game, so I am going to have to questionthis one.
