Upgrade QB? (1 Viewer)

[jmble]

I'm 4-2 with the most points scored in the league so far.  I'm looking good but I feel like I'm winning in spite of my quarterback play.  Especially after yesterday with Winston.

Would you try to make a play for a QB?  There's a 1-5 team in our league that has Cousins sitting on his bench.  The best QB on the waiver wire is Eli.  

Would it be worth floating Baldwin or Landry (who would be keepers) to grab Cousins (who is not a keeper)?  

1 point ppr league.  Can keep anybody after the tenth round in the draft forever.

Potential keepers in Bold

QB - Winston,  Wilson, Trubisky

RB - Bell, Montgomery, Cohen, Martin, Gallman

WR - Thielen, Hogan, Landry, Baldwin, Cobb, Snead

TE - Kelce, Doyle

K - Lutz

Def - Baltimore, Cincinnati

You are fine at QB with Wilson.  No need to lose depth elsewhere when you have Wilson who is done with his bye.  That being said, if you can improve at QB without getting hurt somewhere else then for sure do that.  However, I don't believe Cousins to be an upgrade over Wilson so I wouldn't look in that direction.

What's your scoring system for QB's? With Wilson having his bye now you are probably going to be ok at QB if he stays healthy.

Sorry, All TDs are worth six points whether passing or running.

I just noticed somebody else is starting Alex Smith over Drew Brees.  I just sent him a little message to see what it might take to nab him.

Is there a reason that you don't think you are fine with Wilson at QB?  He is generally a top 5-10 QB in most scoring systems.  I don't think you can do much better than that.

Inconsistent.  He has a few huge games a year and the majority of his games are crap.  I've had him as a keeper for three years now.  He's a great NFL QB.  He's maddening as a Fantasy QB.

So far this year:

Week 1 - 4 points

Week 2 - 10 points

Week 3 - 32 points

Week 4 - 26 points

Week 5 - 9 points.

Last year he threw for 21 TDs and rushed for 1 TD.  7 of his 21 TDs came in weeks 15 and 16.  He threw for one TD or less in 11 games.  He only threw for more than 300 yards three times.

2015 he threw for only 1 TD per game in the first 8 games except for week 2 where he had 2 TDs.

It would be different if he was making it up with the rushing, but he's only averaging one rushing TD per year.
