You know this is going to happen for the rest of the year?What else can you tell us about this thing called the future?
I don't get how this is a good thing...you are saying it takes two avg. players to get the numbers of ONE good player.....if I was starting Mushy and Berrian every week I would not be Loving it!My point is by having Mushy and Berrian in my lineup its almost as if I have a Holt, TO or Chad Johnson.80 yds and a TD every weekLoving it
I normally dont nit pick other league setups, because to each their own... but 2 QB's 2 RB's and one WR
If you only start 1WR how can you be starting Berrian and Mushy?
The full starting lineup is2QB3WR2RB1WR/RB1K1DEFI normally dont nit pick other league setups, because to each their own... but 2 QB's 2 RB's and one WR
GotchaThe full starting lineup is2QB3WR2RB1WR/RB1K1DEFI normally dont nit pick other league setups, because to each their own... but 2 QB's 2 RB's and one WR
The point of it is one of them always puts up #1 WR stats every weekWeek 1 - Mushy 6/102Week 2 - Berrian 5/89/1Week 3 - Mushy 9/118Week 4 - Berrian 3/108/1Total stats - 27/417/2In my league this would be good enough for #2 WR overall.The #2WR stats out of Chicago areWeek1 - Berrian 1/49/1Week2 - Mushy 4/59/0Week3 - Berrian 6/70/0Week4 - Mushy 5/45/1Total stats - 16/223/2In my league this would be good enough for WR#30So provided you have one other solid WR who can put up top 15 numbers you are looking pretty consistent using this strategy
Everyone else's point is that you are getting WR#1 production out of two guys, which isn't that hard to do. Yours happen to be on the same time but I could come up with other combinations of WR's that between them put up WR#1 numbers each week.
Somewhat true - so how do you maximize this strategy - do you take your other WR and pair him up with a RB and try to get a true stud WR ??
I keep expecting Rod Serling to appear and explain this Bear passing game.intrinsic said::cookie:Who can recall the last time you could pick from the Bears WRs worth starting?
I don't get the statagy or progressive minded part of this. You play your best players that is my statagy. Now I may not have invented it but I have been using it since the 90's. It seems to work.Dudes, this isn't a new strategy at all, just progressive-minded. In fact I was one of the first to employ the method back in the 80's. Yes, the 80's fellas!!!!...while many of you were still suckling from your mommy's teet.My dynamic duo, you ask?Henry "give 'em he"Ellard (get it?)Flipper Mother####ing Anderson

Marcus Robinson was a beast in '99, think he had 1400 yards and 9 TDs....I remember he had a 170 yd. 3 TD game in Week 15 that made many fantasy owners VERY happy...intrinsic said::cookie:Who can recall the last time you could pick from the Bears WRs worth starting?

And this is all contingent on Chicago having a moderately good day and not giving significant looks to other receivers. Just like the stock market, significantly lower diversification can translate to greater risk. With increased risk comes increased returns, or increased losses. It all looks great provided the sun is shining, but you should temper your enthusiasm with some realism as well. You're speaking as if this guarantees you a WR1 performance, and the reality is that you aren't guaranteed of anything. Thus far, though, you're right, it looks decent. The major reason it works, though, is only b/c few people expected Chicago to be this good. Not because of any particular strategy. Had they been more Atlanta-like in their performance, you'd obviously be lamenting doing this.And as an aside, two players having to combine output to match one player on your opponent's team is not something I would be "pleased with". The thing to be pleased with is that you have two WRs who are out-playing their draft position.
I'm not sure you realize how many leagues Mac Daddy wins each year. He didn't get that name for nothing, pal.
Meh, its OK, better duos include:Wayne/Harrison (duh)Holt/BruceColes/Crotch is debatableColston/HornGlenn/TOand some others, but it is OK!
i've been doing pretty well with LT2 and Gates in one, and Kitna/ROY/KJ in another

Several years back on a site that Football Guys bought (I was so mad, but FBG has served me well since then
) I remember reading an article that did a very in depth statistical analysis of starting two players on the same team at different positions. The whole "if they get shut down" argument was proven to be mostly insignificant.I don't remember the exact numbers but two players on different teams are almost as likely, percentage wise, the get shut out as two on the same team.The conclusion I remember well. Draft and start the best player at a position you need regardless of whether or not they are teammates, the "eggs in one basket" factor is not as detrimental as choosing an inferior player.Just my $.02Or Chicago...Until San Diego or Detroit have a bad game.i've been doing pretty well with LT2 and Gates in one, and Kitna/ROY/KJ in another
Berrian was injured and Moose had a decent day still.

I wish more people actually knew what the shirt meant. I was pointing out that Chicago's "bad day" was not a valid criticism of starting Berrian and Moose. Injuries are impossible to predict and Moose still had a decent day.Or Chicago...Until San Diego or Detroit have a bad game.i've been doing pretty well with LT2 and Gates in one, and Kitna/ROY/KJ in another
