QB help (1 Viewer)

[jmble]

I went into the year with Russell Wilson and Blake Bortles, knowing full well I'm going to need a QB for week five when they are both on bye.

I grabbed Ryan Fitzpatrick, but he didn't exactly inspire confidence yesterday.

Now Wilson is hobbled and Bortles has been less than inspiring himself so far this year.

I have three choices, Stick with what I have, grab somebody to replace Fitz (Siemian, Gabbert, Keenum, Cutler if he's able to play), or I can try to trade up for someone like Matt Ryan who is sitting on another team's bench who has Derek Carr and Tom Brady on their roster as well.

I'm 1-2 despite having the second highest scoring team in the league so far.  So I can't afford to lose many more and stay relevant.  

What would you do?

Depending on what you have to spare, I would DEF look into trading up for Ryan if you can swing it for an acceptable price. (or even Carr) With Brady coming back it sounds like that guy might be willing to move one of those 2...

Siemian, Gabbert, Keenum, Cutler - is this the complete list of who is available?  The Bears are at Indy in Week 5 while Jets are at Pittsburgh in Week 5 - based on matchup I'd take the Bears QB (Hoyer or Cutler) over Fitzpatrick.  Siemian gets Atlanta in Week 5 at home, so that's another attractive possibility.

I would like the idea of swapping Bortles for Ryan or Carr if you don't have to give up too much.  Although if there is a coaching change soon in Jacksonville, that might pump some life into Bortles.  All 3 of those guys have flaws, so it's pretty even among them.

Long term Wilson should be the best out of the list that you mentioned (both waivers and on the other team, other than Brady who I assume is off limits), so don't get too crazy with trying to beef up for one week.

Here's mine:

I like Fitz for the season over any of the choices you listed.  I find what is available uninspiring.  That week Fitz plays at Pittsburgh and Siemien is home against Atlanta.  I think I would prefer to play Siemien in that week unless you can trade Wilson or Bortles for a QB you like, I'm just afraid you might be selling low on them.  I wouldn't trade for Ryan who will be playing at Denver that week.

Probably should have put my entire roster in up there, but it was seeming a little lengthy.  10 team league, start 1 QB, PPR

QB - Wilson, Bortles, Fitzpatrick

RB - Ingram, Latavius Murray, Ware, Duke Johnson, Ajayi

WR - Landry, Fitzgerald, Snead, Maclin, Gordon, Hurns, Lockett

TE - Gronk, Jessie James

Def - Minnesota

K - Crosby

The Ryan owner has a shortage of RBs, but I can't imagine the RB's I'm willing to give up would be worth it to him.
