Yep. I agree with this wisdom. It's not so much that the RB's are big point scorers, but there is a marketable drop after your first 6-8RBs.

When it comes to QB's, there's maybe 1-3 QB's who score a lot of points, but everyone after that is not too far behind each other.

If you grab a stub RB first and an above-average RB second, you still have a very good chance to grab an above-average QB. Most fantasy teams win with this kind of wisdom. Trust me, I know- I've won three times and have only missed the playoffs with two teams and they didn't make it only because of injuries to my starting players.
