Drop Eifert for Richard or Powell? WHIR (1 Viewer)

[s1att5]

I'm very weak at RB and just wanted to get some thoughts on whether I should drop Eifert (or anyone else) for Jalen Richard or Bilal Powell?  I'm not sure I'd be able to deal Eifert later as my league has a bunch of guys that don't trade very often and sometimes don't even respond to trade offers.  Any advice will be appreciated.

Here is my team - 10 teams, 1/3 PPR, rest is fairly standard scoring, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST

QB - Stafford, Manning

RB - Bell, McKinnon, L Murray, Dixon, Foster

WR - Brown, A Rob, M Jones, Landry, Fuller, Crabtree

TE - Reed, Bennett, Eifert

Plus a DST and a guy that can kick the ball.

I think I'd pick up Bilal Powell.  Oakland wants to run a committee with whatever backs are healthy that week.  

Also have to wonder about Reed, with his history of concussions - might want to think about dropping him.  If Reed and Eifert both wash out, you should think about another TE, although I do like Bennett a lot.

Thanks for the response.  I was leaning toward Powell but was worried that he is behind Forte though not as bad as the Oakland committee.  I don't love Latavius Murray either but just wasn't sure if I should drop him or hold on because my backs are weak.  The problem with my TEs is that they all have the same bye week.  I was hoping to trade one but not a lot of trades in my league.

Trading a WR is your  best option, but said that may not  be an option.  Wait to see what happens with Reed, but yes, you need another RB.  You may need to make it an unbelievable deal for them to get better than Powell.
