What did RB/WR starts actually look like?
Across every seat, we counted the exact position sequence produced in rounds one through three. The table keeps only RB/WR-only openings that cleared the evidence floor; QB- and TE-containing starts remain in the denominator, so the percentages are not inflated.

RB-RB-WR was the most common RB/WR-only opening, appearing on 18.6% of observed teams.
| Three-round sequence | Observed teams | Share of all teams |
|---|---|---|
| RB → RB → WR | 11,164 | 18.6% |
| WR → RB → RB | 7,271 | 12.1% |
| WR → WR → WR | 6,170 | 10.3% |
| RB → WR → WR | 5,566 | 9.3% |
| WR → RB → WR | 3,607 | 6.0% |
| RB → WR → RB | 3,071 | 5.1% |
A sequence must appear on at least 3% of all observed teams to appear here. This is a frequency report, not a recommendation: the simulation’s board and roster demand produced these starts.
A common opening is not a command
Run the same format and let the live board decide whether an RB/WR sequence fits the players your seat can actually reach.
Also compare early, middle and late seat outcomes, inspect the PPR board, or use the custom ADP arbitrage tool.
