Taking out the trash RB's from my roster (1 Viewer)

[BigBlue_RI]

So another week goes by, and it's apparent that after Mel Gordon and Doug Martin, I have a bunch of trash at RB, and I'm screwed if one of these guys go down. My 3rd best back is apparently Ameer Abdullah, and he's barely a flex option at this point.

What would you do at this point with the following?

Jonathan Stewart - McCaffery owner may finally get his first W, but at 1-5 I doubt he'll see Stewart as much of help to his team. Best guy I could trade for from him might be D'Onta Foreman, and hope for a Miller injury or he wins the job in a few weeks. Otherwise, is this a drop and handcuff Gordon or Martin?

Tarik Cohen - what a waste of FAAB after week 1. We are non-PPR. Jordan Howard owner is hurting at QB, and I have Cam and DeShaun Watson, but I think I'll need Cam these next two weeks. His best trade target for me might be Sterling Shepard. Ouch. Is this a Drop, and handcuff Martin or Gordon?

Ameer Abdullah - I don't think I could get anything for this guy. Not optimistic he'll amount to anything.

How many do you start at RB, what are your tradeable assets?  Are you in the playoff hunt?

It seems like you just need someone for Gordon's week 9 bye.  AA and Cohen are decent depth, I would hold Stew, unless there is a better WW guy out there..

We start 2, and yes I'm in the hunt at 4-2. Actually having a good 3-week scoring run with the league high this week. I lost OBJ, have Amari Cooper toiling on my bench. Alshon Jeffrey and Will Fuller may be my best receivers right now.

after the next week or two, either Cam Newton and DeShaun Watson might be expendable.

If you were 2-4 I would have different advice, but you are not.  If it's not broke, don't fix it.  It's good to be proactive and try to protect yourself, but unfortunately it doesn't look like you have many tradeable assets at this point.  If one of those guys go down you are definitely not in a good position.  Saying that, with the limited info I have on your league, the possible trades you could make to protect yourself would decrease your upside too much to be worth it.  You're on a streak, and being 4-2 you have time on your side.  I say use it.  For now drop and handcuff, play the waiver wire and hope Amari Cooper pops off for a game or 2.

I agree with this start Cam or Watson.....Gordon/Martin and then WRs...the other guys are a decent bye week start...maybe sell high on AA or Cooper if they have a good game....Monitor the WW, picked up Darkwa last week, and now I just flipped him and a WR for an RB upgrade,

After Watson's bye deal Cam. If you can trade JStew for Foreman do it but I doubt the Foreman owner will go for that because of Foreman's upside. AA is a good bye week player for you so hang onto him.
