Quarterback, Receiver Combos

I've mentioned before that in multiplayer Snapdraft contests, you want high variance in your scores. One way of doing that is picking players from the same team, whose scores will tend to be correlated. That's particularly true because of the 3 point bonus that players on winning teams get. Either everyone on that team gets the bonus, or they don't. The positions whose scores correlate best with each other are obviously quarterbacks and receivers on the same team. Three combos who I like this week are Favre-Rice, Schaub-Johnson, and Roethlisberger-Holmes. All three have some incentive to try to win and are favored to win.
