Fantasy Football: Punting RBs For Real

With the 7th pick, I selected WR Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans. When the draft snaked back, I grabbed WR Calvin Johnson. When I took Atlanta Falcons' WR Roddy White with my third round pick (#31 overall), punting RBs became the strategy.

Given this is my highest stakes league, real life experience will greatly inform what has previously been just a theoretical exercise.

With three elite WRs, the game becomes gambling on as many RBs as possible in search of two who can be legitmate #1 or #2 backs. I believe this is as likely as finding Saves in fantasy baseball. We will see.
