Running Backs vs. Wide Receivers - Who is more valuable?

[Keyser Soze]

I was always in the mindset that i need to draft as many RBs early in my drafts as possible. After taking a harder look at the numbers I was surprised to find a much greater depth talent-wise at RB than at WR. Check this out...

2002 Fantasy Points (using TDs, Yds, Recpts, Rush Yards for stats)

RBs
------
Holmes 441
LT 384
Ricky 369
Garner 346
Tiki 332
Shaun 329
Portis 320
Deuce 300
Henry 315
Faulk 287
Green 273

WR
---
Harrison 380
Hines 332
Terrell 318
Moss 290
Moulds 286
Price 270

Thats a much shorter list. Seems to me that you might want to snatch up those WRs earlier before the quality goes way down.

Any thoughts?
