Man this seems like the year to go WR, WR (1 Viewer)

[Deuce'sWild]

The more I read and research it seems like the RBs in the 2nd and 3rd tier are just full of question marks, and guys like Thomas Jones, McFadden, J. Lewis, Bush, and S. Young are falling to early 3rd or 4th rounds. In addition, it doesn't seem like there is much seperation between the 2nd tier and 3rd tier RBs (depends of course on your tiers). I'm talking about guys like Barber, Gore, LJ, Grant, Portis, etc.... over guys like J. Lewis, MJD, T. Jones, McFadden, etc.

If your picking at the end of the 1st round and can't get a LT, ADP, Westy, Addai or SJax (assuming he ends holdout), then why not grab at top tier WR like R. Moss, Wayne, TO or Edwards?

Then, in the 2nd when you'll have an early pick, grab another top tier WR before everyone else starts the run on them, and while they are trying to catch up at WR in the late 2nd and 3rd you grab a guy like Thomas Jones or Jamal Lewis who may very well end up with similar numbers to guys like Gore, Grant, or LJ who you are looking at in the 1st round.

I don't know, just seems like this is the year to do it.

 

[Statler & Waldorf]

I'm thinking about going that route myself. The only one who really tempts me to go RB-RB is MJD because I think he might put up some BIG points this year similar to his rookie year. All the other RB's I'm not too crazy about in the second round though.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Every year is the year to do it but you gotta be smart. I am going to do a QB thread in the next week and I feel pretty strong you have to empty the top WR on the top4 QBs...Reggie Wayne, Randy Moss, TO, and Marques Colston shoould all come off the board before anyone else.

I like Moss/Colston

I like TO/Colston

I like Wayne/Colston...in PPR leagues I like the combo of Colston with any of the top3. Colston will post between 80-100+ catches, he is in a high powered offense that just an injection of Shockey, I like him a lot as the anchor in the WR/WR tandem.

 

[Isotopes]

I see your point. However, as you point out - there are alot of question marks at the rb position....seemingly more this year than any other. To me, that means the longer you hold out on drafting a running back, the smaller the available pool of running backs will be for your team...which will simply increase your odds of landing an underperforming back.

I might be inclined to pass on an rb in the first round for a stud wr...but to wait to the 3rd or 4th round to draft your rb1 seems like a very big risk.

 

[Hear-the-Footsteps]

I have been considering this and struggling with it like crazy this year.

Here's what it boils down to if you pick towards the very end of round 1 and go RB-RB, then WR-WR in 3/4 (PPR league)

2 of: Lynch, Portis, LJ, Bush, R.Grant, McGahee, etc.

Then 2 of: Holt, Colston, S.Smith, Plax, Welker, Boldin, etc.

Here's what it boils down to if you pick towards the very end of round 1 and go WR-WR, then RB-RB in 3/4 (PPR league)

2 of: Moss, Fitzgerald, Owens, Wayne, etc.

Then 2 of: Turner, T.Jones, McFadden, Maroney, Parker, etc.

And the truth is, I don't know which is better. I'd like to agree b/c part of me really does believe this might be the year to finally go WR-WR. But look at what is available. Play with the above scenarios and tell me which you really like better. Are Fitzgerald and Owens so much better than Holt and Colston that they make up for the fall of Lynch and LJ to T.Jones and McFadden? I am not so sure.

 

[[icon]]

agreed 100%. Unless a 2nd tier guy falls to me at 1.12 in a 14 Teamer (with 7 RB's kept) I really believe I will end up going WR/WR. This league only forces you to start 1 RB however (W/W/R/Flex) so it's a little easier.

Get two stud Wideouts then go RB/RB in 3/4 and if you've done your homework you're likely to end up with at least 1 acceptable RB

If you are forced to start 2 RB's and maybe even have a flex for a 3rd then I'd be hard pressed to go WR/WR. Maybe WR/RB/WR/RB..... but not much more than that (Unless it's PPR of course)

Not a big risk if you have two top tier WRs that can make up for the lack of RB production. If you grab a RB1 early and then don't get top tier WR production you are really screwed.

 

[cjack]

Not saying it can't work, but I do know the year I tried it was my worst year of fantasy football in the last 8 years or so. Of course, a lot of that had to do with who I picked. Two years ago, I had the 11th pick out of 12 teams, so I went with Fitzgerald and Moss. Now unfortunately, this was when Moss was still a Raider, and Fitzgerald didn't have a very strong year, so my team sucked. I can't remember exactly how the draft unfolded but I ended up with Ahman Green, Deuce McAllister, Deshaun Foster and a 4th back I can't remember as my primary pool of running backs. It wasn't pretty.

Every other year in the last 8 years, I've drafted a RB with my first pick and usually a running back with my second pick. Haven't finished less than 2nd any of those other 7 years.

Now, if you would have picked Moss and Owens last year at the 12 turn, you probably would have been doing okay, but you would have needed to pick the right round 3-4 RBs like Lewis or Barber rather than T. Jones or Ahman Green, or work the free agent wire for guys like Grant or Graham.

I think Holt, Colston and S. Smith will be gone late in the 2nd. I think it's a mix of this. If Portis or LJ is there I will probably take one if not both on the way back. I would probably take two of Moss, Wayne, TO....maybe Edwards before Lynch, Grant, MDJ, Bush. The real question is what to do if Brady is still there in the late 1st and you get 6 points for TDs. Brady and Wayne, Brady and TO, before Wayne and TO?

 

[Dodge]

I just ran a Mock of a 10 team format, non-PPR and I draft in the 9 spot. I picked up SJax and Gore. I did a another mock the other day at the #2 spot and I managed ADP and a WR, can't recall which one.

 

[brednbuddah]

The only way I'd feel comfortable doing this is if I get Moss in the combo.

If he gets half the numbers he got last year you´re still looking at 11-12 TDs and 4-5 100 yard games. That should cover your RB1 pass in the first round. Team him up with say Fitz or Johnson (14-team redraft). That´s a tough combo to beat.

BUT...

If you´re ok with Willie Parker/Ronnie Brown/Thomas Jones and Edge/LenDale White (using antsports 14 team ADP) as your RB1 and RB2 then go for it.

Do you feel lucky?

Moss

Fitz

Jones

Edge

Well, do ya... punk?

 

[imagroid]

I think this is the year to go RB/WR if you have a picks 8-12. I would only be interested in going WR/WR if I got Moss, meaning I would need to have about the 8th pick and get lucky nobody takes him. Otherwise I'm going Gore or Portis/Edwards or TO and then getting BPA RB/WR with the next 2.

I think Moss will got 8-9. With that Said I can see maybe Moss and Edwards, but I would be tempted to go Moss then MJD, Lynch, Grant or Bush. T. Holt or S. Smith may reach me in the 3rd.MossMJD/BushS. Smith/HoltEdge/BrownNow we are dealing.

If you can land Moss and Owens and T. Jones and Parker....wow. Yes that is better. Moss and Owens will score over 210 pts each. Holt is solid, but on a declining offense. Colston, I love, but you can get him in the 3rd round (ADP 3.06) and he probably won't keep up with Owens. WHy wouldn't you consider Jamal Lewis in the 3rd? His adp is 3.09 I believe. And I have him for 205 pts vs Portis at 215. The only spot you lose on is at RB2, IMO. T. Jones probably can keep up with McGahee or Maroney too.

Point?

Just saying what possibilities are coming up.Though it looks like my full post didn't go through. Stupid internet.My comment was that, I don't think WR/WR is possible this year, especially with more and more RBBCs out there, I do think it's still possible to snag a good RB/RB combo out there if you grab a good one right off the bat.I do like a good WR/WR combo if you nab Moss first though.

 

[LOCO]

very simple. what is better? for picks 6-12

a. best wr and top 6-10 back

b. best qb and top 6-10 back.

c. a top 6-10 back and a top 5 WR.

for me it is a. so if moss if there with the 6 pick, i am taking him. but i really think you have to follow him up with a rb in the 2nd round.

moss/lj/boldin/tj

better than.

moss/coltson/tj/mcfadden

[Deuce'sWild]

This discussion has helped a lot already.

Maybe RB, WR, WR, RB would be better....because

Portis, Wayne, Colston (if he falls), and T. Jones gives you a solid nucleus at each spot.

Portis and Jones are solid.

Wayne and Colston are solid.

Then in the 5th you have options like Holmes, Cal Johnson, or Cotchery.

Maybe I'm rethinking this...keep it coming.

I would tend to agree with this. We're voting on PPR for this year. If it goes through I may go WR/WR/RB/RB if not it likely will be RB/WR/WR/RB.

Because he's the highest rated RB on my list when it comes to my pick in the 2nd....but is also there in the 3rd. Which is why I think going WR in the 2nd is a must....for me.

Uhh you have him ahead of Lynch/LJ/Grant/MJD???

No way do Lynch (1.11), LJ (1.12) make it back to 2.06 in a 12 teamer.And yes, I have him rated higher than Grant and MJD.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I'm considering it from the 4 spot in at 12-teamer.

You need to trade down if you are going to do this Scoob, the #4 pick is too sought after...you could trade down to the end of the 1st and probably get a much higher pick in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th because of this.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

very simple. what is better? for picks 6-12

a. best wr and top 6-10 back

b. best qb and top 6-10 back.

c. a top 6-10 back and a top 5 WR.

for me it is a. so if moss if there with the 6 pick, i am taking him. but i really think you have to follow him up with a rb in the 2nd round.

moss/lj/boldin/tj

better than.

moss/coltson/tj/mcfadden

Colston ADP is 3.06. If you draft at 1.06, there's a decent shot he's there at 3.06 for you.I like this though, breaks it down pretty simply. However....

d. top WR, top 5 WR has to be an option

because, guys like Willie Parker, T. Jones and J. Lewis could potential outscore the 6-10 RBs because of the lack of seperation at 6-10 RBs.

MOP...based on antsports he is 3.04. So, it's possible.And in my 12 team league where I draft 1.09, I have researched the last 3 yrs of draft tendencies, and at 3.09 WR7 is available every year. This league scores QB Tds at 6 pts, so that could be why.

Just saying...what works for me might not for you. But you're right, some leagues he'll be gone early, which is why going WR-WR might work better....still going back and forth on it.

I think the answer to this question is simple. Go RB/WR or visa versa so you can have options at the 3/4 turn. You will be pissed if Lewis or Colston falls and you already have those spots filled.

You're probably right, and this is the first year I've actually thought this much about it. Probably too much time on my hands or getting too analytical. Strategy should probably be...1st Rd: If Moss is there take him, if not get best RB2nd Rd: If TO or Wayne is there and you think Lewis may make it back to you then take them, if not get best RBLet the rest of the draft just come to me.

I just ran a Mock of a 10 team format, non-PPR and I draft in the 9 spot. I picked up SJax and Gore. I did a another mock the other day at the #2 spot and I managed ADP and a WR, can't recall which one.

you are talking about steven jackson? hard for me to believe he fell to 9........

That's what the Draft Dominator spit out at me, using standard scoring.

I've been flirting with going WR/WR myself (12th pick in 14 team PPR) and that is my biggest fear of "good" WRs really dropping, losing out on 'value' picks later, while I could have had a more solid RB in the 2nd (a Reggie Bush or LJ, if he falls). Right now I think most people could go this way (this assumes Moss falls, if he doesn't most likely I'll abandon going WR/WR)a.) 1st Pick - MOSS 2nd Pick - TO/Wayne 3RD - RB, 4th RB. b.) 1st - MOSS 2nd - LJ or Reggie B. A combo of Moss/TO or Moss/Wayne + say a T. Jones/Willie Parker would/could be a formidable start IMO. Especially in PPR.

I'm in exactly the same boat. I think anyone considering going WR/WR has to make some 'rules' for themselves, for me the only way I do this is if that 1st round WR is Moss. I don't expect production like last year of course, but FBG's projections are pretty much where I've put him. If he's not there, then LJ/Marshawn, and in the 2nd you get your pick of one of TO/Wayne. For some reason, this year certainly seems tougher than others having a late 1st round pick.

 

[videoguy505]

Colston may or may not be there in the 3rd...just depends on your league I guess.

He wasn't kept in my leauge, so he'll be my pick with the equivalent 4.01.

 

[Buffaloes]

So then at what point in the draft do you decide to take the WR, WR risk? In .5ppr, standard scoring leagues last year, a combo of TO/Moss or TO/Wayne or Moss/Wayne may have been the better bet than one of those WRs/a 6-10RB. So, if you are staring at a top 3 WR and have the choice to take a guy like Gore/MB3/LJ or another top 3 WR who does not have the question marks that the 6-10 RBs do, what is to stop you from taking another WR (besides the fear of not getting a guy like Jamal Lewis in the 3rd)?

One of my biggest 'issues' with going WR/WR -- what if a Chad Johnson / Steve Smith / Colston is available in the 3rd round? I'd be completely torn here. A WR trio of say a Moss/TO/Chad would be amazing in PPR, but then your RBs would be completely abyssmal (say RB1 would be Thomas Jones at best, and 2nd RB along the lines of Julius Jones? Ouch. Or, just let that WR go by and lose out on what I would say is great value? Toughie.
