Starting two WR from same team...

[WABronco]

What's everyone's opinions on this? I'm gonna start both Harrison and Wayne this week, therefore I should cancel out Peyton's points that my opponent will get...

Does anyone normally start two WR's from the same team, like Harrison and Wayne or Boldin and Fitz, etc?

I've done it before. Most of the time, it's just because they're good and will get me points, other times, it is, as you said before, to cancel out points the other team's QB will get if they're really good.

If I had Boldin and Fitzgerald, I would def start them both. I dont think you could afford not too.

Do you start 2 or 3 WR's?

If it's 2 then i'd really hesitate doing it unless i had to because of bye weeks. But seeing how your playing Manning then it wouldn't be a bad idea, hopefully the rest of your team is solid.

Personally I'd recommend against this. If Receiver A has a stellar game, chances are Receiver B will miss out on those opportunities if he's from the same team. If instead you start Receiver C (from a different team) and he also has a stellar game... then you're golden.

Of course, it may be just as likely for your Receiver C to have a game on par with Receiver B, and thus the outcome would be equivalent.

So basically I guess it depends on who the recievers are you're talking about (i.e. if they're go-to-guys, the QB's favorite target, etc...)


...Just to address somebody's ealier comment (a technicality, really): I think Boldin is out for the Cards. That would be a large part of the reason why Fitzgerald has been such a gold mine for me these last couple weeks.


At any rate, good luck!

What are you other options at WR? I am not saying that it is a bad idea...just want to know who you'd be benching to start Wayne.

[WABronco]

I start three, and my options are

Harrison
Fitz
Wayne
Roy Williams
D-Jack when he gets healthy

I've done it. It really diden't hurt me any. It might be good stategy against Manning though.
