Bye week 9/10 problem (1 Viewer)

[The Desert Dog]

Hi guys,

I have the first pick in a 12-team keeper league, PPR.  I am keeping Amari Cooper (bye week 10) and Antonio Brown will be my first pick (bye week 9). I have done several mocks using the Draft Dominator sim and I keep ending up with a lot of guys on bye weeks 9 or 10.  We start 1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR a TE and a flex (RB/WR/TE). 

If, for example, I have three starters on a week 9 bye and three starters on a week 10 bye, how big of a concern is this (one being QB and one TE)?  Should I drop down a tier if needed (i.e. grab TE Eifert (6) instead of Ertz (10))...?  Of course I would fill my bench with alt-bye week guys, we carry five bench spots. 

Thanks for the guidance!!

bye weeks are overrated in my opinion.  If you have solid enough players to warrant picking that have the same week, you should be able to survive one or two bad weeks in the season.

I never let them decide for me who I want to take.  Take the best players and adjust later if you have to.
