I always thought of rb's as more consistent than wr's
I used to, but more along the theory of an RB has guaranteed touches, whereas a WR doesn't. But I don't think that holds, at least as to those top 5-6 Wrs - a la Mega, DT, Dez (to an extent), AJ, Marshall, maybe Julio if not injured.
Those guys, especially in PPR, will put up 15-20 every just about every week.
Look over prior drafts, see the first round RBs that did vs did not pan out. The only top WR last year that did not pan out was Julio, due to injury.

It is easier to find later round WR's who perform within 80% of the #1 WR than identifying RB's who will do the same.
Last year Jordy, Brown, Gordon, Alshon, Garcon, Johnson, Jackson, and Decker all went 3rd or later and were 80% of the WR1.
Only Forte was not in the first and within 80% of RB1. If you use 80% of RB3 throwing out Charles being so much better, then you have Forte in the 3rd and Knowshon.
I find it easier to get top scoring WR's in the 2nd-4th, so if I have a chance at one of the bell cow backs, I go for the risk.
