I'm in a 10 team PPR (keeper league)... our league playoffs start week 15... i've already clinched a spot so i'm at this point just fine tuning the roster... two potential pick-ups i'm thinking about are Shane Vereen and Tyler Gabriel..
Here's my current roster:
QB - Matt Ryan
WRs - Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas, Sammy Watkins, Jarvis Landry, Deandre Hopkins, Tyreek Hill
RBs - Jordan Howard, Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, Jeremy Hill, Dion Lewis, Charles Sims, Devontae Booker
TE - Jimmy Graham
K - Dan Bailey
DST - Atlanta
I traded for Booker earlier in the season and he's been a complete bust for me... thinking of dropping him for Vereen. I can see myself more likely to take a shot in the playoffs w/ Vereen rather than booker (either way i'd hope it doesn't get to that). And i can't see myself keeping Booker for next year.
As for Gabriel... again, not someone i want to have to rely on in the playoffs, but he's playing more consistently than some more established guys (i.e. Hopkins). I can't keep Hopkins for next year (Gabriel is keeper eligible)...and unless Osweiler gets benched/injured i can't see myself plugging him in during the playoffs... would it be crazy to drop him for Gabriel?
Final question/thought... Matt Stafford is available on waivers... in lieu of either of the above moves...would i be better served picking him up as a backup / matchup-alternate to Ryan?
Thanks for looking!
