I know I'm RB heavy now due to Stewart's injury and playing the wire. I had a thread yesterday where I asked about picking up a QB so Siemian is my hold for this week since Jameis is playing Denver. I traded for Gates earlier in the season and he's yet to see the field for me and looks like he may just be breaking down. Henry is out there on the wire still, but with Rudolph playing really well with Bradford, I'm wondering if Gates is just expendable at this point. I'm thinking I should grab K. Dixon (BAL) before anyone notices and really know I have RB/Flex locked down with Gordon coming back next week too. Thoughts?

Gates IS expendable. I dropped him last week in my league. (He wasn't even producing before the injury... only a couple targets a game, if it wasn't for the one TD he'ld have averaged like 2 points a game) Hate to say it but I think he's finished. Viva la Henry as SD TE now

Yes

Yeah I'd drop him, if Rudolph drops off you'll still be able to find someone producing comparably (or better) to Gates. If Dixon comes in and takes the lead back job then you have another starting rb, who at the very least would have trade value.
