I've got a crazy situation in a league. Short bench, half-point PPR.
Some owner dropped Doug Martin (don't ask me why; he's still got Adrian Peterson, James Starks and Shaun Freakin' Hill on his roster). I'm going to put in a FAAB bid for him, but I can't decide who to drop. League starts 1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1RB/WR flex, 1WR/TE flex, K, DST. 6 player bench. My roster (other than K, DST) is:
QB:Stafford
RB: C.J. Anderson, DeAngelo Williams, Ware, Charles, Gore
WR: ARob, Marshall, Marvin, Tyrell Williams, Enunwa
TE: Delanie, Eifert
With a lineup which features up to 4 WR each week, and at most 2RB, running backs don't have as much value. I've tried to trade the package of Ware/Charles for a stud WR, but do far there is no interest. I also tried to trade Ware/Charles for LeVeon Bell, but was refused. And unfortunately, as long as Martin is available on waivers, I doubt anyone will be willing to give up anything of value for any of my RB.
So . . . I don't think I want to drop Tyrell or Enunwa for Martin, because that would make my roster even more RB-heavy than it already is. So I think I need to drop either DWill or Gore. The tradeoff is obvious: I want DWill in my starting lineup this week, but Gore is likely the better option ROS.
Suggestions? Of course, I think it's quite likely someone outbids me for Martin, but I need to put in a bid anyway. Which back do I designate as a drop?
