NJDevs4978 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) What happened to all the quality RB's????They're either on my team or getting their father of the year trophy revoked In all seriousness though, for all the hype about WR being the new RB you have the same **** there...a handful of studs followed by a mess of mediocrity. Even some of the studs there have been hurt/disappointing (Marshall, Julio, Megatron, AJ). And if you picked one of the WR's in the 10-30 range, forget about it unless you got lucky with Maclin/Hilton Edited November 4, 2014 by NJDevs4978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you picked one of the WR's in the 10-30 range, forget about it unless you got lucky with Maclin/Hilton I dunno... mediocrity is a bit rough. I still feel there is so much depth on WR; and it's definitely easy to fill in for WR holes than RB. QBs don't typically bust... RBs and WRs do all the damn time. Next year I'm drafting 6. ha jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) The PPG averages of RB's 11-25 and WR's 11-25 are pretty much in the same range (high 12 PPG to low 9 PPG). Gore's the 25th highest scoring RB at 66.9 total points, Torrey Smith's the 25th highest scoring WR with 67.1 points. Yes it's easier to find a functional WR on the wire that'll give you 5-6 points in a pinch but it's not like the depth there is really any better than at RB in terms of top guys. It's not like the top ten in receiver points are a who's who of guys you'd expect to be top ten either. Maclin, Hilton, Emmanuel Sanders, Golden Tate and Mohamed Sanu were all drafted outside the first four rounds and all are in the top ten of WR scoring. That's the same (justifiable) rap the RB position gets, you never know who bubbles up. Actually at RB the only guys drafted in later rounds/undrafted there in the top ten of scoring are Bradshaw and Justin Forsett. I'd have to look up where Lamar Miller was drafted but he's in the top ten too. Edited November 4, 2014 by NJDevs4978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Agreed. So outside of changing trades to no wait, commish approved style... I'd really want to push for actual waivers next year and lock up everyone after the game starts like a regular league does. Yeah I agree with you on the waivers- I like having some semblance of strategy behind waivers rather than whoever gets to his computer first gets the player du jour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I was more pro-waivers a few years back when your only recourse for getting a player was getting to your computer. With mobile apps it's much easier now for anyone to do a quick transaction. And part of me likes the variety of first come first serve since basically every other fantasy league out there goes by waivers. That said if you could somehow make waivers last for only like 24 hours after they play their game I'd be more amenable to it. I always thought it was silly to have a Sunday-Wednesday waiting period like ESPN does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it really shouldn't be a free for all to get the backup after an injury, etc. Plus, if you actually had to use your waiver priority, you may have to think more... which is always a plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I audibled last minute and put him in over Run DMC... although that TD/fumble scared me. ha Hey I wasn't the moron who traded with him and that one came from FA....

aylbert Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I love you, Aaron Rodgers. Thanks, ayl!It's good to put him to use. It would have been wasted on my bench. Can't wait to hopefully get Mathews and Johnson in my lineup and some td passes to Thomas next week. Glad to see Tate still put up yards with Megatron's return. I still worry that RBBC will eat up Ingram's value when PT and Robinson come back. I'd still roll with him, but a worry nevertheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta assume He'll be on the bench for the second half, but no complaints here. Hopefully Marshall can get some yardage and a TD or two in garbage time Edited November 10, 2014 by RSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have beaten me (barely) this week with Benjamin's garbagetime TD lol...my 'first/second string mix' still put up a pretty good week with 120+ though. You should still make the playoffs, but probably won't get the second bye at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
