Might I ask if its not PPR why you went WR in 3 of the first 4 rounds....I really think you missed out on some good RB picks...at 9 you could of drafted LT/Gore or Westy/Gore or any combo like that....

I'm with Escrow here. While I love your team, in non-PPR leagues the RB/RB/WR or RB/WR/RB makes a bit more sense to me.

Because I'm the man and I want everyone to know it.

Seriously though my thinking is this - It's because I'm not going to draft a guy like Frank Gore over Randy Moss. It's Randy Moss... he's going to score 20+ TDs again. He's (in my opinion) the most valuable WR in fantasy and I believe that people who pass him up for a late first round back will regret it all year, PPR or not.

I would have liked to have gone RB in round 3 but Pierre Thomas was off the board and I was left with Kevin Smith, DMC or a WR like Bowe. I chose Bowe.

I drafted 3 out of my first 4 as WRs last year: ended up with Marion Barber, Reggie Wayne, Calvin Johnson, Anquan Boldin and it led me to the best record in the league and the Super Bowl game.
