I hate WR I have never stuggled so bad with them

The fantasy experts do agree that RB's should be your first two picks. All the "elite" teams in my division have two feature backs.

My WR selections were also fairly poor, as I got Toomer first and then David Boston. Neither are consistent at all this year, and I got rid of Boston on his "suspended" week so I could field a full team. I also got Jimmy Smith who at the time I didn't know was suspended for drugs. The first few weeks I tried matchups, then I got A. Johnson and he did pretty well for me. When Smith came back I used him and he has done pretty well. Four weeks ago I picked up S. Moss because he had a few good games, and now he is the MAN on my receiver list.

I have Portis and Henry also, and I don't think they have done bad at all. They normally get 80 yards rushing every week and normally get at least one TD each. In my traditional scoring league that isn't bad. It's surely better than any RBBC unless they get lucky. I got D. Davis as a bye week replacement, but now he is rolling along and I have tougher decisions every week.

I also got lucky with Bulger when Maddox became a bust after week one. I was willing to trade him for a #3 WR at the time, but I've used him every week since week 3 and haven't looked back until this week... Hopefully that was just a good defense stopping him.

its sucks for me with our WW because early in the year i was winning and i would be at the end of the list.I have lost 2 games in row now and our trade deadline was just last week.There is nobody left in the WW except for Jonnie Morton and Dion Branch and im pretty sure someone will get Jonnie Morton.

Worked my way into Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Santana Moss however.

Goes to show you can crap out on your draft so long as you trade smart and are active on the WW.

I drafted D.Boston, D.Driver, and R.Ferguson. Oh boy Im in trouble. Picked up A.Bolden off the WW after week 1. Boston killed me last year, gave him 3 weeks then put him on the WW. Picked up Holt to my surprise off the WW after some idiot dropped him after his subpar week 3 game (6pts). Then I picked up J. Smith in week 4 right before he played his 1st game. Had D. Stallworth for a little while but he has Plaxico Burruios Disease so he got dropped. Holt helped me tons, i usually start Holt and Boldin or Smith. Holt is avg 17ppg in my league

Drafter RB, RB, QB, DEF, WR, etc ... another WR somewhere down the list.

I would never even think of drating a defense in the first five rounds. They aren't like players. A defense has bad matchups quite often and they aren't the kind of thing thta you play no matter what. I don't care what defense you have, I woulnd't play them against a team like the Rams, Colts, or Vikings. I didn't get a DEF til like the 13th and I got Miami's.

I stayed away from Wr's in the draft till late. I took Torry Holt in the 4th and then C. Johnson in 9th, Lelie in 14th and picked up J. Smith off WW before week 3. Also had T. Taylor. Holt, johnson and Smith have done me just fine this year. WR's always lose their value and someone (many) just come out of the woodwork as the season progresses.
