Who to Drop? PPR League with Short Bench - WHIR
So I need to pick up a kicker for this weekend (I don't have one on my roster at the moment). I won't make a move until Sunday morning to see how the actives/inactives shape up.
My current choices would be to drop:
Martellus Bennett or
Davante Adams or
Mike Gillislee.
We only carry 14 active spots. Here's my current team:
QB - Jameis Winston, Matthew Stafford (bit of a coin flip between these two for this week)
RB - Starters this week: David Johnson, Melvin Gordon, Christine Michael, Bench - Mike Gillislee
WR - Starters this week: Brandon Marshall, Brandin Cooks, Bench - Alshon Jeffery, Stefon Diggs, Davante Adams
TE - Start this week: Kyle Rudolph, Bench - Martellus Bennett
D/ST - Patriots
So that's 2 QB's, 4 RB's, 5 WR's, 2 TE's and 1 D/ST
I also have Dion Lewis in the IR spot (no point in dropping him since he is no cost to me at the moment)
Martellus Bennett is on Bye for Week 9, and Tyler Eifert is still available on waivers who also has a Bye in week 9, so pretty good chance I could pick up one of them next week if need be and I drop Bennett on Sunday.
I had a similar choice a couple of weeks ago between Spencer Ware and Kyle Rudolph - I dropped Ware and now I regret it, so don't want to make a similar mistake with Gillislee if McCoy has an extended absence. But I'm also more concerned about Reggie Bush than I was a week ago, so maybe Gillislee isn't even the best RB on the Bills to own. And after Sunday's game against New England, they are on the road in Seattle and then on Bye, so probably not using him in a game before Week 11. Unless he's Shady Jr. this Sunday.
Most teams carry 2 QB's even though we only start one, so that's one reason I'm reluctant to drop a QB. Eli Manning is the best available at the moment on waivers.
BTW, Tevin Coleman just popped up on the waiver wire, probably because he is out this week with the hamstring, so also thinking about picking him up (which would mean dropping two of the three above).
Two kickers who are available are Cairo Santos and Mason Crosby so there are two good options there for this week.
Thanks!
