Starting multiple skill players on the same team (1 Viewer)

Some people like the combo of a qb/wr on the same team while others feel like it is better to spread your talent out b/c if the offense is doing poorly on one team you are screwed. Any thoughts on this?

First year I tried the QB/WR combo. I always shied away because I felt it was feast or famine. Getting more than I expected out of Stafford/Megatron.

Last year I had Rodgers/Jennings. This year I have Stafford/Megatron. I guess I like it

It can make you a bit more inconsistent like last week with Brady and Gronk.

In this case I have Brady, Gronk, and Hernandez. I wouldn't do this very often but I'm thinking it's a combo that will cruise me into the playoffs.

First year I played fantasy football I won with Manning and Wayne.

It's fine as long as they are talented players on a good team with a high scoring offense.

If they are talented players on a bad team or a mediocre offense then you might think twice.

Like anything else, it depends...

Start/draft the players you believe give you the best chance to win (fwiw, this is potentially different from "score the most points").

Ultimately, a same team combo will tend to give you higher highs and lower lows, but, overall, but you shouldn't avoid, or intentionally shoot for it. If the player(s) are at the top of your list, draft/start them.

The rest will work itself out.

I actually went with Kolb, Fitz, and Beanie this year but it wasnt a plan. They just happened to all be there as best players available while drafting. Hasn't really worked out the way I thought it would after the draft as i'm 0-4, but that is pretty much do to starting the wrong Rb a couple weeks, and than losing a third game by 1 point.

This gets asked every year. You should always start your best players and if they are from the same team so be it. That is the ONLY strategy that counts.

Doing Ryan-White-Julio this year. Gonzalez has hogged TD's so far, but I'll take my chances with these #'s leveling out through the duration of the season. I'm happy with the results thus far.

positive covariance is a tool, not a solution.

Indifferent.
