3 WR's strategy?

Postby da bears » Sat Aug 15, 2009 3:49 pm

In a league where you keep one guy who is your 1st round pick, .5 ppr, 10 teams, and with the 10th pick in the first round of picking I was possibly thinking of going WR/WR leaving my team with Calvin and 2 other top 9-10 WR's which is where I think there is a huge drop off. Obviously the RB position will be one made up of high risk/reward players like McFadden/Moreno/Bush/etc though. Does anyone think with the added depth at the RB position and huge drop off at WR that this strategy will produce a winner or does it seem too risky? Thanks for your thoughts.

With all of the RBBCs out there and a smaller pool of top WRs, I've been reading a lot about a WR/WR draft strategy. You're right, you get a lot of risk/reward players at RB, but you can land some solid RBs if they fall to you. The .5 PPR could be a big boost to WRs, too. A lot depends on your draft position, I think, but I'd work out a few rounds of mock drafting and see where you think guys will fall and who you'll get. Could be a great strategy.

help?

i like it. I havent had a draft yet but Im seriously considering taking 3 WR in the first three rounds when I do. WR are more stable it seems in this new age of committee RB's. Forte, D. Will, and Slaton are great examples of RB's coming out of no where. Theres too much potential late in drafts this year to invest a high pick in RB's.
