WR/RB from same team

[ThirdWW]

What are your guys thoughts? Something you try to stay away from this? Or does it not bother you?

[Phaded]

It plays no part in my evaluations.

I'm not going to avoid owning Bell & Brown for example just because they are on the same team.

[Friction]

I try to avoid it with early picks, but after that I only maybe use it as a tie breaker.

I love it if you can pair up studs...my Luck and TY combo usually makes me happy

[TommyL31]

Plays no part in my evaluation. All about talent and expected production.

[BlackOmega]

while I wouldn't want half my lineup from the same team necessarily I have a few combos in various leagues. Luck & TY, Gronk & LaFell {worked pretty good last year! lol}, and even J-Matthews & Agholor in a start 3WR and flex 2 more league. If the players can all be productive being on the same team shouldn't be a consideration in whether you have one or the other

I think it absolutely plays a part but a minor one for me.

If all things are equal I'd much rather have players on different teams. I had Ryan/Roddy 3-5 years ago and it was nice, but if Ryan had a bad game it likely meant Roddy had a bad game as well. If Roddy had a bad game, odds are Ryan had a bad game too.

Of course I'd love to have Bell/Brown or Luck/TY but I'd rather have Bell/OBJ or Rodgers/TY.

When it comes down to it FF is a random game and I'd rather diversify the randomness rather than putting multiple balls in one bucket.

I like the RB/WR combo from the same team. While I don't go searching for the match up in my drafts when I have it in my line up it is great to watch the game, cause chances are you are getting points on most offensive snaps.

If the game is a blow out win your RB gets garbage time points, if it's the other way your WR will pick up the garbage time points.

Looking at my line up I have CJA and Sanders; Ivory and Marshall, too bad NYJ and Denver don't play this year.

Depends on the pairing. Cobb and Lacy? Yes please. Julio and Roddy? Ehh. Really depends on where you draft them, but I wouldn't reach on a player just to pair him up.

I've got Tannehill, Miller, and Parker. That's a little overkill, but only 8 man league and only Tannehill and Miller will probably see my lineup this season.

I've got Ryan Mathews, Jordan Matthews, and Agholor in a redraft. I don't love it, but it's a 3WR league and I like where I got all of them in the draft + lots of opportunity in Philly offense. If I ever need help and look to trade, one of them will likely go.

I would be interested in seeing if there's a negative correlation between rb1 and wr1 performances, especially when both are strong fantasy picks.
