I really didn't understand the idea that the best WR should be WR3. That could possibly be true if you only use 3+ WR formations, but otherwise if you put your best WR at WR3 he'll spend time on the bench that's going to a lesser WR.

But your WR data seems to show that WR1 actually does more chances-- at the very least he did on your team-- than WR2, which would support what would make intuitive sense.

You can play your best WR at WR3 on 3WR sets and WR2 on two WR sets. He can always be in the prime spot. He never has to spend time on the bench.

He's lined up in the slot to take advantage of LB/CB3 mismatches, I take it?

This is what I was saying. Look at Megatron's targets. He is my WR1.

I think WR1 is more important than WR2... but WR3 far surpasses both of them. The only reason your WR1 gets more targets than your WR3 is you mostly pass out of 2TE or 2WR.

Most of the popular passing plays go to the WR3.

Exactly. It's all about play calling and WR build. You wouldn't put a slow WR in the WR3 position. Megatron is my best WR and he is a power/possession/blocking WR.

Yes - but the original post is asking for sound advice. In 99% of cases you want your best WR at WR3. You are running some hybrid run team that has not been particularly successful (albeit more successful than your previous teams). I am presuming that the OP is running a normal O and would like legitimate advice on what to run.

For what it's worth, I think you are short-selling yourself by not running the S* WR at WR3 (obviously having to adjust for builds).

Yeah but I like to build my team with my own schema, not one that caters to "the best plays" necessarily.

That's your prerogative. But giving bad and misinformed advice to new members of the community is just a poor decision. Though I'm not necessarily sure they'd be willing to take advice from someone who has been unable to win a championship thus far.

He asked how he can force the ball to a specific WR and I answered that question.

Talk about misquoting... he asked where he should put his best receiver because he wants to get him the ball... not how to force it to a certain spot. The responses were as expected - telling him to put his receiver at WR3 to get the catches. Then you come in with some garbage about putting him at WR1.
