0.5 PPR redraft.  Start QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, 2 flex, DST, K.

Winston, Bortles

David Johnson, Martin, Duke, Starks, Gillislee, Hightower, Quizz, Barber

AB, AJ Green, ARob, Crabtree

Brate, L Green

I'm looking for RB upside/playing keep away from other owners, and I have my eye on Damien Williams in Miami.  He's a TD vulture right now, but could be fantasy relevant if something happened to Ajayi.

I need to drop a player to get Williams.  I'm leaning Barber, but I honestly have ZERO clue as to the RB situation in Tampa.  Martin is back, but what's the pecking order after that?  How far away is Quizz from returning?  What about Sims?  I'd hate to drop Barber, then Martin gets hurt and Barber is the next man up.

IMO, Duke/Hightower/Gillislee are too valuable if their counterpart got hurt.  All 3 would be fantasy relevant immediately.  I could also drop Bortles, but I know he's a garbage time king and that could help me in fantasy.

So Tampa peeps (or anyone), do you have more info on the Tampa RB situation?  Who should I drop for Williams?

Thanks, and please leave a link so I can return the favor!

In a redraft I wouldn't have any issue with dropping Barber now that Martin has played a game.  You are trying to catch lightening in a bottle either way and it all depends on injury as to who will get there.  Williams seems to have a what the heck flex play value due to his TD's as of late but really you are probably just chasing those. 

However, I would probably drop Quizz first because he is injured at the moment.  He has close to no value at this stage so cutting him is the easy choice for me.

I also would drop Rodgers first.   He is hurt and Doug Martin is back.  Sims is rumored to be looking to return before the end of the season and they have Barber in the mix.  I dont see any way that Rodgers becomes a bellcow if Martin gets hurt.  There are too many mouths to feed there.

I think you could also drop Bortles if you chose to.  Winston has a great lineup of games to end the season and you will likely be starting him over Bortles.

Good luck!
