Looking for a QB-WR combo... (1 Viewer)

[wolfeman]

I am planning some stradegy right now, will probably change, but...

I was thinking of a QB-WR from the same team. I know this is not earth shattering. I was thinking a combo in the 3-5 rounds. So no Brady-Moss. As of right now there does not seem to be a huge number of consistent QB.

Maybe Anderson-Edwards

Brees-colston

Could you do Romo-TO,maybe TO in RD2 and Romo RD3?

I was looking for different combos and suggestions. Thanks

 

[The Man with the Plan]

Roethlisberger-Holmes

Schaub-Johnson

Rodgers-Jennings

Bulger-Holt

Leinart/Warner-Boldin/Fitzgerald

Cutler-Marshall

Garrard-Porter

Depends on your league... Round 3 WRs look like this

27 Marques Colston WR 8 28 24 27 25 30 25

28 Steve Smith WR 9 25 26 31 26 27 26

29 Chad Johnson WR 10 38 31 28 31 31 31

35 Plaxico Burress WR 11 33 43 38 29 33 37

36 Torry Holt WR 12 31 46 33 32 38 35

37 Wes Welker WR 13 45 35 36 36 36 38

39 Anquan Boldin WR 14 36 34 42 39 37 40

40 Brandon Marshall WR 15 40 30 45 37 42 41

44 Roy Williams WR 16 48 45 47 44 43 46

46 Greg Jennings WR 17 52 50 40 48 46 49

50 Santonio Holmes WR 18 50 47 55 45 49 54

So Colston/Brees is an option. You could also get plaxico/Manning, Holt/Bulger, and Chad/Palmer

There are some lower rent combos (interms of getting the QB) that may be just as good...

I'd love to have Smith-Delhomme this year

Except that in the fantasy playoffs (weeks 14, 15, and 16) you have to face Tampa Bay, Denver, and NYG.

Tampa is an awful matchup, but the Giants aren't a tough matchup and the Broncos are a good matchup.

If you're really trying to focus on capturing some QB-WR synergies, I wouldn't pick a QB that's QBBC material. I'd pick a guy I'd want to start just about every week.

 

[ratbast]

I've gone this route for years (keeper influenced) and I can tell you the only time you really want to do it is if it's a Stud QB.

The main reason for this is if it isn't a stud QB you risk two early picks underperforming. If you take the stud QB and the WR doesn't perform you still have aa stud QB. If the second rate QB doesn't perform then your stud WR may also put up a dud. (see SSmith)

I would draft as I do and if I end up with the stud QB, THEN, I look at the combo. I also often target the #2 WR on my QBs team. I targeted Wayne 2 years back and now have the Manning/Wayne combo in my keeper. I have in the past made bad investments with the QB that struggles and the WR that was studly "last year", many times actually.

I'm not quite sure how you'd call the Broncos a good matchup with Bly and Bailey covering WRs there. Last season they gave up an average of 4/58/.56 to other teams' #1 WR, and that includes a couple of nice games by TEs. Not a good matchup, IMO.

As far as fantasy points allowed to opposing QB (adjusted for SOS, of course), Denver was in the bottom five of the league. Tarvaris Jackson, Josh McCown and Vince Young all lit Denver up. Roethlisberger killed them, and Philip Rivers had his best game of the season against the Broncos. They were a bad pass defense last year.

I never thought of drafting the QB 1st. Thanks....kinda like the Brees colston connection.

Unless you get some kind of bonus points for having your QB throw to your WR than draft the BPA. I never understood why anyone thinks this is somehow "more" beneficial.

But in those games the #1 WR did basically squat. The whole point of the combo is for the QB and WR to do well.

I agree - I don't get the love for this strategy at all.

 

[wolfeman]

I have already tried

Rb-RB

WR-WR

Rb-WR

RB-QB

running out of options

how about PK-DT? i use to have good luck with QB-RB, but it really came down to getting good players at both positions rather than getting them both from the same team.

RB-TEWorked for me last year with KW2/Lewis, two years ago with LT/Gates, and a few years ago with Gonzo/LJ.I wouldn't mind Witten/Barber.

perhaps it is more a result of the players that you are getting rather than the position combinations? like the previous poster said, i kind of like QB/RB from potent offenses. it seems to be a little more consistent, although you typically won't get the huge weeks. but addai/manning, for example, will typically get you 3 TDs somehow. if addai has a huge game, manning typically won't and vice-versa, but at least you can usually count on something. wayne/manning, OTOH, could completely bomb or blow up. too much variance for my taste.

I have in the past made bad investments with the QB that struggles and the WR that was studly "last year", many times actually.

The lesson here isn't to target YOUR QB's WR2, it's to target young WR2's with stud QBs. Think about it - Housh, Wayne, Holmes, Jennings, Colston, and there are other less heralded WRs who have done extremely well because of their stud QB.

It works if they are connecting up, you will win your weekly matchup even if the rest of your starters are marginal.The downside is, if they are both missing then you have lost that week.I prefer to gamble and grab a combo if possible and the results have been for the season overall that I either win big or lose big (with nothing in-between).

Even better in leagues that reward for best weekly score.

Well, none of those WRs are Steve Smith. I think he'll do just fine against Denver, along with any D he faces.

 

[thejag]

Not really a combo, but I always try to grab the kicker from my top QB or RB team. If the offense doesn't punch it in in the red zone, I at least get points (usually).
