Need to drop an RB - WHIR (1 Viewer)

So I was able to pick up Tevin Coleman this week to add to my stable - I have a win sown up so I cut my kicker for tonight.

Now I need to pick up a Kicker for next week so somebody has to go.

PPR League

Obvious keepers
David Johnson - 12 @ Falcons, 13 home Redskins, 14 @ Dolphins, 15 home Saints, 16 @ Seahawks
Melvin Gordon - 12 @ Texans, 13 home Buccs, 14 @ Panthers, 15 home Raiders, 16 @ Browns
Thomas Rawls - 12 @ Buccs, 13 home Panthers, 14 @ Packers, 15 home Rams, 16 home Cardinals

Need to drop one of these
Dion Lewis - 12 @ Jets, 13 home Rams, 14 home Ravens, 15 @ Broncos, 16 home Jets
James White - 12 @ Jets, 13 home Rams, 14 home Ravens, 15 @ Broncos, 16 home Jets
Tevin Coleman - 12 home Cardinals, 13 home Chiefs, 14 @ Rams, 15 home 49ers, 16 @ Panthers

Here's the snap splits for NE RB's this Sunday

Dion Lewis - 28%

Rest of Roster

It's a short bench - 14 total players on roster, 9 starters each week

Agree with White, BUT I also agree isn't there someone else you can drop??? I wouldn't want to drop White yet if you can avoid it?

 
Frankly, I don't like White or Lewis--I think they're going to cancel each other out. Lewis is a bit better, but White's also not bad as a receiving RB (for ppr leagues)

 
I would have to think there is someone else you could drop however, out of those choices I think White is the bottom of your list.  White and Lewis will most likely cancel each other out but I think Lewis has the bigger upside if given the chance so I would give him the slight nod over White if you had to drop one of them.

 
I added my roster info above - I've got 6 RB's right now, 1 QB, 4 WR (who are OK but nothing special) so not a lot of wiggle room on my roster.

 
With those RB's and no one else to drop, I think I go against the grain here and drop Coleman.

You'll likely have one RB to start in case one of your top 3 get hurt.  I prefer White/Lewis to White/Coleman or Lewis/Coleman
