Missing RB week 5: Huuuugggee dilemma (1 Viewer)

[wolverine0611]

Half point PPR league. Start two RBs. Problem is that Mark Ingram and Spencer Ware are on byes and Martin is still hurt. My dilemma: do I dump someone like Ware (reduced role with Charles coming back), for someone like James White (with Brady coming back)? Or do I suck it up, take zero for the week and move on?  Given the injury nature of Charles, Ware will get snapped up, especially by Charles owner. 

This is really blows.

Who else - besides White - is on waivers? 

Ware has been terrible after week 1, so that might definitely by the way I´ld go, if there´s someone decent on ww.

It's a 12 team league so the pickings are pretty thin. Fozzy Whitaker, Kenneth Dixon, Matt Asiata and Jay Ajayi.

Fozzy in the short term - he will catch 5+ passes next week.

If you look for upside and a usable RB for later in the season, Dixon might take over in Bal when he´s healthy again.

Dependent on your record it might dictate situation.

3-1 to 4-0: take the hit

2-2: make a favorable trade then  consider taking the hit

0-4 to 1-3: make favorable trade then drop a player

Dixon would be my vote for a weak week 4 but could be a home run later in the season

Dixon or Bilal Powell would be 2 decent choices. Dixon is just coming back this week and West had a good week, so for week 5 he probably won't get much action. Powell could though.

Dixon is a good get, unlikely to help this week though.  Really need your roster.

For a Week 5 fill in, Whitaker or Asiata are the type of guy you want to go for.  I don't see how anyone would trust starting Dixon this week, just too much unknown right now regarding his usage to use him first week out of the gate.  For a "down the road potential" Dixon is the guy you want.  

I'd try to flip Ware to the Charles owner, or package him with something else and create a 2 for 1 where you free up a roster spot, then pick up Whitaker for this week. If anyone else is expendable on your roster, I'd go after Dixon then.

For the week, go Fozzy.  For ROS go Dixon.
