Although I am new to MFN, I am noticing a distinct trend (in various leagues) that some teams (who are doing well I might add) are playing WRs at RB (due to speed factor I presume). Some teams don't even have RBs on their roster, or just 1 or 2. They run sweeps mostly but also a few inside runs too. These WRs don't have high break tackle ability either.
I'm not saying it's not possible, but a 190 lb WR hitting the A gap, or even constantly running sweeps in a game, is gonna get hurt before the game is out in all likelihood but that doesn't seem to happen. Seems to be a legit (ie. working) strategy. Anyone else notice that? Or, have I just not seen these WRs become RBs get injured more often?
If this has been discussed elsewhere in another thread, please let me know. It's an intriguing concept to not worry about drafting an RB, or having a good RB, and just working on WRs. But, that seems a bit unrealistic.
Is it just me as a newb missing something?
