I have two great WRs in one of my leagues. My QB however throws the vast majority of passes to one of them. Any way to remedy this problem?

I imagine that the receiver who is receiving the majority of the targets has high "route running" and the other receiver has a lesser rating in that ability. Route running controls how many targets that receiver gets, so, unfortunately, it's relatively hard to force the QB to target the other guy when both are on the field.

Best solution would probably be to play with your depth chart in specific formations, and put a guy with lesser route running than the #2 receiver ahead of the guy with higher route running.

To think of it somewhat realistically, you're other "great" WR is not so great because he can't get open as often as the other guy. That's why the QB keeps throwing him the ball.
