Looks like I will be 0-4, ride it out or damage control? (1 Viewer)

Man, a lot of guys performing lower than expectations. Not sure what you could do because, due to their production, none of these guys have great trade value. You MIGHT be able to find someone who will buy high on Bijan and give you a couple of guys but you might have to stick it out until hopefully he, Aiyuk, Wilson and McBride play up to the level we expected. Just really hit and nail the waivers to buid up some depth, especially with bye weeks starting up.

Trade if you wish but you’re in the same boat as me. Do you want to trade away better players for peeps scoring now. I just can’t do it. The playoffs are all that matters and I still think you have a strong team. If
You win tonight I definitely wouldn’t do anything. If you lose and fear missing playoffs you might need to.

My one league last year I was 1-5 after 6 weeks. Ended up going on a run and winning it all.
Bijan, Walker and Bucky should have better days for you.
Wilson is concerning and Aiyuk is basically having his preseason right now. Not Ideal I know but I'd ride it out. I think Wilson and Rodgers figure it out eventually or maybe see about trading Wilson to someone who still believes. Problem is if you trade Wilson but can't get proper value I'm not sure you are much further ahead.
Your WR depth is a little shaky and McBride being out definitely hurts.
I'd ride it out and see if you can't get 1 more WR somehow. Maybe off waivers?
Also a few suggestions is being very very active on waivers. Drop the dead weight that isn't helping you. CEH can be dropped. I'd also probably drop Reynolds. I'd keep churning those 2 last spots to pick up the players with the most upside. Usually that is backup RBs and if they hit you can trade them to a RB needy team and maybe get a decent WR.
Maybe you can package up Corum + Douglas for a WR to the Kyren owner. Tell him Corum instantly steps into a workhorse role. Say it is cheaper to get Corum now than if Kyren gets hurt. Just some ideas on how to approach this. Is it Keon Coleman? Maybe someone still loves the rookie hype on him and you can trade him + Corum or McLaughlin to someone who believes for a solid WR starter. You really have to go digging in your league to figure something out.
I think the core of your team is good, just underperforming and injured.
Think of it this way - you are already losing so it is time to start clearing out the dead weight. No time left to "hope" someone performs. Maybe they turn it on late season but that won't help you if you are out.

12 man league deep bench so waiver wire is trash!!! Owning Douglas and Palmer are a feat tbh haha
I could roll with Bucky at Flex, hope Walker is fine and package Bucky and Wilson for a top WR but gut says hold off, trade Bucky in a week or two for a WR

Not sure I would trade Bucky and Wilson for a WR. I see what you are doing there but I'm still holding out hope for Wilson. Rodgers is a bit stubborn and I think Wilson eventually gets fed. It can't be that bad for that long can it?
There are always RBs coming out of nowhere that can be found on waivers that maybe can be traded down the road. Even in our dynasty league we are still finding a few gems on waivers. You really have to be up to speed on injury news and usage rates each week and hit the trend before it happens.
I think Bucky keeps earning more snaps but if you can sell really high then maybe it is worth it. Moss should keep his starting role even if Chase Brown comes on here.
A healthy Walker will do your team wonders.

Just wanted to add that right now Ronnie Rivers is the Rams backup. Maybe later this year Corum gets some playing time when/if the Rams are out of contention.
