Traditionally I have not drafted a starting RB and WR on the same NFL team. Example Alfred Morris, Desean Jackson. My thoughts have been if the Redskins had a bad game or heavy run or heavy pass my line up would suffer. I would go Alfred Morris and TY Hilton instead. Better percentage play in my opinion. Your thoughts ??
Like dingwog, I don't tend to worry about it, with obvious exceptions like Manning-Thomas connections that I think are worth any potential downfalls from bad weeks.
I think that if the talent is there, the NFL has shown that big time games can come from both RB and WR positions. I usually try not to grab 2 WR's from the same team, and I also try not to have too many players on the same team overall (not starting RG3-Morris-Jackson-Reed the same week), but overall I don't worry too much about it when it's only a couple of guys, especially if they're good players overall.
Sorry I mean I do not seek out QB/WR tandems. More often than not that leads to up and down weeks.
What is actually does is create a more consistent week to week output, which could work out as an advantage. For instance in the example you provide let's say Week 1 is run heavy and Jackson suffers while Week 2 is the opposite. That's two weeks of consistent scoring. You can hope that by drafting guys on different teams means they all go off in the same week every week but that's not the reality. So I don't shy away from same team players but also so try and go out of the way for QB/WR tandem because it has the opposite effect.
