So I have the 10th pick in a 3 Keeper, 10 team league. .5 PPR, (QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR Flex, TE) other than that pretty standard scoring. I'm keeping Megatron, AJ Green and Stafford (frick Josh Gordon). By the time my picks at 10 and 11 roll around the RBs that will be available will be:

Possible, but pretty unlikely:
Morris or Martin

More than likely available:
Stacy or Reggie (Don't know who this person is keeping yet), Spiller, T-Rich, Gore, Ellington

Will be shocked if not availble:
Matthews, Jennings, Tate, Gerhart, S-jax, Gore, CJ?K, Rice, MJD so on and so on, you get the general idea of the talent around this range.

Now, with that said, There is a slight possibility 1 of Demaryius, Marshall, or Julio falls to me at 10. So my question being, If, hypothetically, one of these WR does fall to me, should I take one and pick a running back at 11? Or do I shore up both my running back spots at 10 and 11 considering the value that'll be there at 31 (NOTE: I traded pick 30 away last season)

Now obviously if all 3 of those WRs are gone I'm going RB/RB. My thinking is that a starting platoon of Mega, Green, and Demaryius/Marshall/Julio would be too good to pass up, even if my RB2 spot is weaker than average.

If one of those WRs falls to you, no doubt in my mind you should take him. You would have a severe advantage over everyone else at the WR position.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I'd have a team that looks like:

Stafford
Stacy/Ellington
Vereen
Mega
AJ
Elite WR #3

Which in PPR scoring, is definitely a playoff team. And with the right in-season moves becomes a championship contender.

I completely agree. Having a three WR set like that is big, and there's a lot of value in the 30s at RB. If you find after a few weeks that you want to have a better RB, you can easily package one of those three WRs and your RB2 for a top-6 RB (someone will be desperate for WR help if you are hogging them all )

Yes there is, trust me. By mapping out other teams' keepers and the available players there's a chance, albeit small, that one of those 3 fall to me. I just ran through a mock of my leagues "first" round and I projected Julio to go at 9, so all it takes is a couple things to go my way.

And Lacy is being kept, and choosing Reggie scares me because I already have Stafford and Mega. I don't want to be too dependent on the Lions offense.

And question #2:

Lets say those WR are taken, what 2 RBs should I go with? I'm thinking Stacy and Ellington, if Stacy isn't kept. Or Ellington and Jennings, If Stacy is kept?
