WCOFF format - RB heavy strategy (1 Viewer)

[prgromek]

If some of you guys are doing the WCOFF main event, I employed a RB early strategy with the #3 pick today in a satellite. I went RB-RB-RB-TE with my first four picks and still came out with a decent stable of WRs I think. I've found that there seems to be value using this strategy if you have an early pick as the elite WRs fly off the board in the late first and throughout the 2nd. Just something to think about.

1.3 Ray Rice

2.10 Jamaal Charles (DeAngelo also available)

3.3 Pierre Thomas (Forte, Benson, Mendenhall, Grant, Best, Greene also available)

4.10 Jason Witten (could have gone OchoCinco or Crabtree here)

5.3 Santana Moss (Bowe, Garcon, Sims-Walker, Harvin, Knox, Floyd, Wallace, Maclin also available)

6.10 Terrell Owens (Dez Bryant, Gaffney, Royal, Holmes available)

7.3 Jerome Harrison

8.10 Lee Evans

9.3 Eli Manning

10.10 Devin Hester

11.3 Nate Burleson

12.10 Nate Washington

13.3 TJ Housh

14.10 John Carlson

15.3 Matthew Stafford

I hope you got some starting WRs in rounds 16-20.

On FBGs WCOFF cheatsheet I have the #15, #17, #30, #37 WRsI could have taken OchoCinco (#12 WR) instead of WittenMy post was more about the strategy, not the specific players I took. There are some attractive WR options in rounds 4-6 I think.

I hope you got some starting WRs in rounds 16-20.

And I would have taken Best way before P. Thomas.

And I would have taken Best way before P. Thomas.

Rice, Charles, Best looks like a great start too. If I really like Mendenhall, Grant, or Greene they might be there (and were in this draft) in the 3rd round too. There are options at this spot to anchor your team with 3 top RBs.

I like the strategy but would have targeted different RBs. The key criteria to me is getting RBs that will get 300 touches (carries + recpts).

 

[rizzler]

i dont like your players but, given the circumstances, i do like your strategy.

I forget who it was but someone chronicled their WCOFF experience last year with a similar strategy only he had Jacobs as 1 of his RBs. He tried to piece together his WRs with Santana Moss types. Needless to say the experiment failed.

No #1 WR in a PPR format that starts more WRs than RBs means you donated your money. Sorry. Those WR sleepers look good today, not so much after week 1.

looks like you are the only other person in the world as high on pierre thomas as much as i am

Sorry but IMHO those WR are just NOT good enough for you to even win your league (although if you get to the league playoffs anything can happen)Even if they were as good as you think (Santana Moss is Mr. Inconsistent) you will tear your hair out because you had the scores in any given week - on your bench......it will be virtually impossible to guess which to play each week.Why are you trying so hard to go against the grain? Yeah I understand it is nice to have three really good RB, but you could have taken a WR instead of either Charles or Thomas as you got Harrison - you need some solid contribuions at WR

follow-up on this team

This team is going to the playoffs, 7-4, #3 in the league in points scored

Hitting on Owens and Moss as my top 2 WRs was huge and made up for the Pierre Thomas bust

managed to snag Torain and Keiland Williams off waivers

gonna be tough with Owens matching up with Revis this week
