Who to drop for BYE week QB? (1 Viewer)

[abosweiler]

PPR. Next week SEA is on bye and I will need a QB.  Palmer and Watson are both out there in FA, but I would like to pick one up before next week when everyone else is needing to get a QB.  Who do I drop from my bench to pick up a bye week fill-in QB:

Riddick

Buck Allen

Ellington

Henry (don't have Murray)

AND

Who do I pick up? Both defense in bottom 3 against QB:

Watson vs CLE

Palmer vs TB

I would dump Riddick and pick up Watson. Watson has the best matchup (it's free points when you play Cleveland). And Riddick hasn't done much this year. The Lions aren't having to throw the ball a ton because Abdullah is playing pretty well. That limits the amount of touches Riddick is getting in the pass game as #1 they aren't passing as much and #2 Abdullah is doing a good job. The other RBs at least have current/potential value.

Pick up Watson but I would drop Allen or Ellington

Add Watson, drop Ellington

Drop Allen or Ellington really, neither one is worth starting unless you are REALLY hurting bad (I AM hurting bad at RB and I won't start either of them - lol)

Either QB is a good option this week, if you're looking to hang on to him though I would grab Watson for RoS

Yep, Riddick for Watson.

Add Watson, drop Ellington

This works. When DJ comes Ellington will be worthless. I can see the argument for Riddick as well but his role is secure for the rest of the season.
