In PPR - WR's are da KING ! - ( standard PPR )

[The Moz 69]

Sure the top 5-8 RB's are of course golden and te greatest to have. But after you hit about #8 it becomes totally pointless to select an RB just becasue its a running back.

 

 

 

2004

 

#10 RB for the 2004 season was scored 233 points

 

#16 WR scored 233 points

 

#11 RB scores 232 points

 

WR's 18-21 scores from 225 - 230.

 

 

 

Typically the # 10 RB overall gets taken before the first WR will ever get taken ( even in a PPR league ). If this occurs in a PPR league you are voluntarily giving up almost 100 points at least in 2004 as the #1 WR ended up with 329 points.

 

If you think RBs are more consitent as to who will end up getting points and who won't - NO they are just as errattic as anyone else.

 

2005

 

#12 RB that season ( 214 points ) was out scored by the # 17 WR ! #10 RB was outscored byt the # 15 WR and so on.

 

If the number 10 RB was drafted at #10 overall which it usually is that drafter would have lost out on 115 extra points.

 

2006

 

#10 RB gets 237 points #1 WR gets 301 points

 

#10 RB was outscored by the #14 WR.

 

After researching this last season I used it and ended up winning one league becasue I piled up on solid WR's the first 2 rounds getting Harrison and Holt at the corner then getting a RB in round 3 - 4 - 5.

 

Bottom Line if you are playing PPR and you have pick 9 - 12 select 2 WR's odds are bigtime in your favor you will get better and more productive players then just picking RB's becasue you think your supossed to. Then in round 3 - 4 - 5 chances are you can end up with A. Petersen , M. Lynch , J. Noorwood -- Last season 2 rookies were top 10 PPR RB's ! Gore was taken in round 6 in most drafts.

 

This theory proves true every single year. It stem around picking WR's who you knoww are consistent year after year - I would suggest Holt and Harrison - they aren't sexy like Smith, TO, and Fitz but they are consistent every season ! At drafts end people might laugh at your team - when there 12/13 RB's bust and you are sitting with 2 top 5 WRs and in plyoff contention laugh at them !

[Gepetto 1,011]

I don't see much difference between the top 15 WRs so if I was picking out of the 9, 10, 11, or 12 spot, I'd go RB, WR, WR, RB or RB, RB, WR, WR. Because you can get Lee Evans and Donald Driver in round 3 and 4 and they will be just about as good (maybe even better) than Holt/Harrison or Steve Smith/Holt.

In PPR running backs are still king - positional rarity dictates that. There are more WRs at every tier than there are RBs.

 

RBs are still king, but what changes is the order of RBs.

[GobbleDog 824]

I sorta agree with this theory.

 

I'm looking I my last year's points and his theory held true... the #10 RB scored 238 points, while the #1 WR scored 301. In fact, the top 14 WRs ALL scored more than 238 points.

 

And I'm a big believer in the idea that the higher ranked player typically finishes closer to where they actually were drafted... ie the 1st WR drafted is MUCH MORE likely to finish near 1st, than the 10th RB is to finish near 10th or higher.

Mostly disagree.

 

If WR are king in a PPR league, then RB like Westbrook that catch a ton of passes are Emporers.

 

 

 

It all goes back to the disparity between the RB you could get in rounds 1-3 vs. 4-7 compared to WR drafted 1-3 vs. 4-7.

 

This is precisely why QBs rarely go early. You can usually find a QB just as good in round 7+ as you can get in round 3.

I agree unless Qb's are 6pt Td's. Then Manning will go in rnd 1 as an exception, 4pt Td's, stick with the mid tier rnds for Qb's. And with more RBBC,roster depth for injuries and bye-weeks, Rb's are more valuable and scarce on the Waiver wires. Wr's and even Qb's can be had on the WW for bye-week fill-ins.

doesn't hold up - you can only start 1 QB you can start 3 maybe more WR's.

 

If you held the 10th pick the last 5 years - odds are if you owulda selected Marvin Harrison or Torry Holt you would have done alot better with your 1st and 2nd round pick. By better odds I mean about 90 %

I think this gives a better gauge as most scoring systems are like this one.

[Gepetto 1,011]

See my post #8 above - it's based on our MFFL rules. I have it sorted by total ppr points for the year with WRs in green sorted in with the RBs.

[The Moz 69]

I used the system in my dynasty league .

 

In MFFL we get .1 per carry which scews it a little and thats not standard.

 

but nice stat though.

I know. This isn't about who you draft between WR and QB. The top tiers of QB are pretty deep. Plus you can bank on a couple of nobodys (ala Kurt Warner) coming from nowhere.

 

 

I stand by my take on the WR though. Guys like Coles are gold because they catch a ton of balls & can be had much cheaper than Harrison/Holt with a 2-3 point difference in production!!!

 

Starting Marion Barber/Fred Taylor/Dunn compared to Tiki & FWP is FF death.

I agree unless Qb's are 6pt Td's. Then Manning will go in rnd 1 as an exception, 4pt Td's, stick with the mid tier rnds for Qb's. And with more RBBC,roster depth for injuries and bye-weeks, Rb's are more valuable and scarce on the Waiver wires. Wr's and even Qb's can be had on the WW for bye-week fill-ins.

 

 

I play in a cash league where QB points are worth 6 for under 10 yds, 9 pts for 11-39 yds and 12 pts for 40+ yds. (Same yardage bonus for RB and WR).

 

I still take QB late in this league because it is easier (for me) to find cheap value at the QB position than top RB numbers. Those you you who can sniff out the Frank Gores every year are my heros. I don't have the knack.

In PPR running backs are still king - positional rarity dictates that. There are more WRs at every tier than there are RBs.

 

RBs are still king, but what changes is the order of RBs.

 

 

I sorta agree with this theory.

 

I'm looking I my last year's points and his theory held true... the #10 RB scored 238 points, while the #1 WR scored 301. In fact, the top 14 WRs ALL scored more than 238 points.

 

And I'm a big believer in the idea that the higher ranked player typically finishes closer to where they actually were drafted... ie the 1st WR drafted is MUCH MORE likely to finish near 1st, than the 10th RB is to finish near 10th or higher.

 

 

all's you did GobbleDog was support scooter's point, which is correct. The positional rarity of non-RBBC starting running backs is low. At best, there could be 32 (one for each team) starting RBs not involved in RBBC - and we all know that doesn't happen. Sure, there are scenarios like Bush/McCallister, and Taylor/MJD that occurred last season, but how many times before that were there 2 quality RB starters on each team?

there are 2 starting WRs on every NFL team, and the majority of the #1's translate into #1 FF WRs - and there are several occurrences where even the #2 guy translates into a #1. (Harrison/Wayne, Boldin/Fitz, CJ/Housh, with others that could be close).

 

One could argue the same thing about QBs scoring more points than alot of RBs - but only Manning is drafted in the first round these days....

 

What it all actually boils down to is how your particular league owners draft. It varies from league to league, but i've been in leagues where the first 15 picks were locks to be RBs. Bring some new kid in to that league who drafts Peyton & topWR from a late spot, and next thing you know he's not getting an RB til late 3rd/early 4th and all the good ones are essentially gone. Sure you can argue that there are RBs w/ top10 potential that come from the later rounds, but they are hit-or-miss... if same said kid picks the wrong one, now his starting RB sucks...

Add in the relative trade value of WRs v. RBs and it makes it even more important to snag a top guy. It's more prevalent to find a mid-round WR explode during the season than it is to find a mid-round RB to shoot up the ranks... Look at Berrian & Colston last year... You can watch the WW carefully and snag good WRs midseason. The only time you find a new good RB is when a starter goes down - and then everyone and their brothers are clamoring to pick up that RB...

[Da Bomb 0]

this all comes back to value based drafting. as said above, the reason RBs are still very valuable is because there arent that many of them to pick from and be valuable. the fact that there are so many WRs scoring more points actually makes the middle tier ones even less valuable because they are so replaceable. the fact that there is an even bigger separation to get a top RB makes them even more valuable, and ditto the drop from a RB2 to a RB3. if you dont get the #15 WR, you can get the #25 one and still be in good shape. if you dont get the #15 RB and get #25 instead youre probably in for a long season.

 

QBs score the most points of players in just about every league, even without 6 points per TD (other than maybe 5 or less top scorers). but they arent all gone in the first few rounds because after the top few studs, there are many similar ones and this makes them very replaceable and of small value to each other.

 

lets review...

stud QB, top RB, stud WR = very very few, hence top 2 rounds

good RB (8-20 range) = fairly rare, gone by mid 5th, still quite valuable

solid QB (8-15 range) = fairly common, available into 7th and 8th, very invaluable

solid WR in a ppr (10-40 range) = fairly common, available into the 6th and 7th, not that valuable

 

law of supply and demand. still holds true in any league.

[ajmplaya69 0]

I've been playing in a PPR league for the past 6 years and I agree with the earlier post to an extent. I feel going RB-WR-WR or WR-RB-WR is a better way to go about that route, this way you are always starting one stud RB (a scarce position) but also two top 15 WR's (a position that dominates PPR).

[IndyFan 2]

I have played in a PPR league for 15+ years. You're missing a couple of points. The top tier rbs seperate themselves from the lower tiers by a very significant amount. However the wrs are much closer to each other. In other words a "reach" at wr doesn't hurt your team as much as a reach at rb. You could also argue that there are 64 starting wrs and only 32 starting rbs but even that is deceiving. Many teams run 3 and 4 wr sets where you can pick up a serviceable wr for spot starts - not the case at rb particularly with RBBC. I also look to TE before wr some years if I can get enough of an advantage. For instance Gates was in a class of his own 2 years ago. This year I believe Gates, Shockey, Winslow Jr. and Heap destroy that theory. In conclusion, it's all about gaining the biggest advantage over the lower tier choices.

solid QB (8-15 range) = fairly common, available into 7th and 8th, very invaluable

solid WR in a ppr (10-40 range) = fairly common, available into the 6th and 7th, not that valuable

 

law of supply and demand. still holds true in any league.

 

I thought you left FFT for "greener pastures" because of people like me? funny, considering you just echoed my post to a tee.

 

 

 

 

man you post a lot for a guy who left. just saying.

non sense

 

Reggie Brown , Mark Clayton and Vincent Jackson are great starting WR's as your top 3 !

There have been some good points argued for both sides here, but in the end I don't think PPR is enough to make WRs king over RBs. The problem when you're drafting is that you shouldn't just consider who will produce more points for you - the current top RB available, or the top WR. Instead, in the early rounds it matters most which position you can't afford to let go right now. Playing into that are some important factors including how deep the position is with quality players, especially compared to how many you must start.

 

RB is a very shallow position as far as real talent is concerned. RBBC is gaining ground as a strategy, and as a result the production of many RBs is going down, at least compared to what used to be the standard in FF. This means if you don't take RBs early, you can count on some getting taken off the board, and when they do, the ones left are MUCH worse. WR on the other hand is much deeper in acceptable talent. You can easily wait on WRs and pick up bargains who will perform at a level much closer to that of the top stars at the position. The end result is that no matter what the balance is between WRs and RBs in your league, it's almost certainly the best plan to get your RBs nailed down first, since failing to do so means you end up with subpar performers at the position. OTOH you can find good performers at WR much deeper into the draft, so committing to a WR instead of a RB early in the draft simply shows that you don't understand how much it hurts you to pass up the RB and let more good ones come off the board until your next pick. WRs can wait, because there are so many serviceable ones.

not sure what that scoring is but standard PPR - .1 per yard gained , 6 pts TD and 1 point per reception - minus 2 points for turnovers

this is 2006 through week 17

 

I think this gives a better gauge as most scoring systems are like this one.

 

The difference between WR #1 and WR #20 is merely 89 points. And I'm pretty sure that this flattens out after #25 at WR as well.

 

The difference between the #7 and #20 RB's is bigger than that. The difference between #1 and #20? 222 points!!!

 

This shows that RB's are still the king. If you don't realize that after looking at these numbers, you just don't know anything about math.
