Are WR's more valuable than RB in a 1 pt PPR?

What says the fantasy board? I just traded Gio for Ridley. My RB's are now Rice, Gore, Ridley, and P Thomas.

My Wr's are A Johnson, Shorts, D Hopkins, Royal, Baldwin and Amendola.

The top scorers are mostly wideouts , and i don't have a great group. Should I maybe offer Rice or Gore for a good Wr1 or Wr2?

Yes, but RBs are more scarce.

You'll probably have to wait until Rice goes off a game or two. He probably won't bring you a true WR1 and it's not worth giving him up for a WR2.

If I could get one, would you try? He's actually a pretty good RB in PPR with all the screens they run. What about a gore with maybe Royal for graham? I have cook at TE. I just need some guys who get a lot of targets. .

More valuable? Most likely.

But WRs are generally less consistent than a RB. They have more big game potential, but also have games where they can disappear.

Royal sucks, no one is giving you Graham for Gore

Brandon Marshall and Julio Jones are more valuable then most RBs right now. But it's only been two games.

Last year 1 RB scrored more than 20 ppg in ppr, 8 scored 15+ ppg, 22 scored 10+ ppg

compared to WR
2 - 20+ ppg
15 - 15+ ppg
40 - 10+ ppg

I personally value RB higher. If I have a RB like Gore or Rice, I'm not going to settle for WR2 value.

Do they score more? Yes. Are they more valuable? Absolutely not.

I play in a 1PPR league where you have to start 3 WRs. WRs are definitely more valuable, but since there are more the RBs still go first.

I like to see facts.

My only concern is my WR group. I think I need another solid #1 target to pair with A Johnson.. Even if it is at Rice, Gore or Ridleys expense.

These are contradicting statements.

You can have 5 stud WR but if you can only start 2-3 what goods it going to do. Plus you will probably have to start dog shite at RB1 & RB2

Not necesarily. WRs are more valuable, but also more abundant. With that said, the first round included CJ, Marsh, Dez and Green.

Rice is the only stud RB you have IMO and he's hurt.

All 3 were top 10 backs last year and have all played tough defenses so far.
