Year of the parity hitting fantasy?

[xMRogers]

Talking with a couple owners in my big league, and we all seem to have the same issue - at RB, WR or both, have 4 or 5 "good" players to choose from, but no real studs that you automatically start. It's not everyone obviously (the guy with Moss and Owens has no issues), but seems like at the WR spot mostly, it used to be you hoped for one good player, than get a bunch of others and one would break through.

 

THis year - it's like they all halfway broke through, so you have 5 guys that go from 8 to 15 every week, but picking the right one is tricky.

 

Among the four playoff teams, so 16 spots at RB and WR, I'd say maybe 4 of them are "set" and the other 12 are fluid - seems really high compared to previous years.

 

Any thoughts?

i agree. i think when we have one of those threads that say who was on your fantasy championship squad, we will have a bunch of different names being thrown around. usually you would find alot in common with the best teams. it may not be that way this yr.

Yep - good point. I can see QB's being pretty constant on the cham team cause CPep, Manning and McNabb have been pretty far ahead of the field most of the season, but just a littany at both RB and WR

It's been a very interesting year in that respect - in both of my leagues, there were several teams that were either .500 or 1 game over that made the playoffs. Take a look at my team below - best record and most total points in the league - not a bona fide "stud" on the team (maybe Holt coming in, but he's had a crap year).
