PPR League. 

A combination of Fitz / Gronk anxiety and a potential sell high moment for J. Howard/A. Collins has me thinking I should take an offer for Brees/J. Cook.

You'll see below I have a TON of RB depth:

* QB: Fitz, Trubisky
* RB: T. Gurley, J. Conner, N. Chubb, M. Mack, A. Jones (J. Howard, A. Collins). 
* TE: Gronk

Brees would give me a "set and forget it" option at QB while J. Cook can fill the gap in case Gronk is out (and his bye is next week). 

I do feel like I'm overpaying here a bit, but to be honest, I don't see any scenario where I play J. Howard or A. Collins. To me, it's basically Fitz for Brees and J. Cook.

That said, I'm eyeing a championship and a couple things give me pause:

1. Does NO/Brees go into pound the rock mode down the stretch? NO doesn't play LAR every week. Upcoming matchups: PHI, ATL, @DAL, @TB, @CAR, PIT -- Could be some high over/unders here, but also several outdoor games away from the dome.

2. Could I do just as well streaming (as I have) with Fitz, Trubisky, or other? 

3. Is J. Cook any better at TE than other waiver options (CJ Ozomah, C. Herndon, R. Seals Jones).

Tempted to do this. The allure of Brees is strong. Part of me wants to do it, part of me wants to see if I can get a QB and/or TE for less.

Thoughts?

Thanks

 
Fitz should be your set it and forget about it QB. The Saints are more balanced and can run. TB can't run. I'd stay put. Uzomah is the TE to pick up with Green out.

I hear you, but he would only be set it and forget it if he's not benched. Also, his playoff matchups are not ideal.
