Drop Sproles or Jennings for D. Washington (OAK)? WHIR (1 Viewer)

[4th&inches]

.5PPR, short bench league.  Should I drop either Sproles or R. Jennings for D. Washington (OAK)? Current RB's:

• Elliot
  
• ingram
  
• Ware
  
• foster
  
• jennings
  
• sproles
  

also, in another league where I have L. Murray. Would you drop Dixon for Washington?

Man those are tough. It's hard to know what Sproles role will be going forward. Mathews and Smallwood will certainly get carries, but Sproles has value as a receive out of the backfield, which is nice in PPR, even if it is .5 PPR. With Jennings, he seems like the best of that group of RBs, but can he stay healthy? Maybe drop Foster if you really want Washington? Foster is already banged up and Ajayi played okay last week, just didn't get many carries. I think I'd rather the high upside that Washington could bring over a banged up Foster with a mess of a RB situation when he comes back.

I think I'd rather Dixon than Washington.

Thanks for the advice. My problems this week are that I'm starting Sproles with Ware & Ingram on byes and Jennings & Foster banged up. And the whole RBBC in MIA actually makes me feel better that when (hopefully when, not if) Foster comes back, he'll be the clear starter. 

My 2nd question (non-PPR); I'm forced to start L. Murray this week (hit bad with byes), so if dinged up, I'd need to start Dixon unless I swap him for Washington

doea this change anything in your opinion?

The first team, I would almost stand pat. You have a decent group of RBs, so it's hard to see where you would get one, especially if you're hopeful on Foster's role coming back.

I'd still stick with Dixon. He could definitely see some carries this week and the Redskins run D is awful (I know, I'm a Skins fan lol).
