Which is easier? Finding WW WR's or RB's?

Do you find it easier to pluck a potential stud RB or WR off the waiver wire during the year?

Depends on how smart your league is, or if they have hoarding issues.

32 starting RB's.

64-96 starting WR's.

[ampheels 3]

it's WR and not even close, not only due to sheer volume but also opportunity the position provides by teams going to the spread and multiple WR sets

[mgs316 14]

Wait on TE's, grab a QB you feel comfortable with any time 5th round an on.

 

I want 2rb/2wr before my QB (depends which end of snake you are on too). I'll wait on TE's not named Graham, I won it all with Gresham so I ain't picky.

RBs by a mile. RB blows a knee his backup can take you the rest of the way. WR blows a knee, you likely don't want his backup.

If you're looking for an elite guy that can win your league as a waiver wire gem, RB.

 

If you're looking for a guy you can plug in to your lineup on a regular basis, WR.

I've had the best luck picking up a hot WR off the wire.

I haven't been as lucky picking up a starting RB.

Only if you are lucky enough to be in WW position when it happens. For everything else, I agree, WR by far. Surprises every year that can be found BEFORE some big news occurs like a RB with a blown out knee.

WR for quantity. Pick up the decent one with a good matchup that week, then toss him once a tough matchup comes up.

 

RB for quality. Pick up a guy who is on the verge and cross your fingers.

will thats really depends on how the season is playing out . imo

[goodnight 1]

for rbs on the ww you have to pick them up in week 1 or 2 (after theyve blown up and surprised everyone)and pay a fortune for them for the most part and even then you have to get lucky that they didnt just have a hot game. for wr im always able to find a few gems here and there to get me through the year at very reasonable prices,

 

when i need a rb badly i almost always have to trade for one. i can almost always find a wr with some value on ww.

I'm not really sure how to answer this question. I'm going to interpret it as: during the draft, which position do I want to feel more rock solid at, such that I can backfill the other during the year over the WW?

 

The answer is RB of course. And relatedly, WR is easier to fill with WW.
