Who to drop RB/WR? (1 Viewer)

[DigitalFool]

My claim for Cohen went through for BUF DEF. Gives me time to figure out who I need to drop to add a DEF for week 2. PPR

QB Roethlisberger
WR Cooper/Hill/T. Williams/Marshall/J. Matthews/C. Davis
RB Cook/Powell/Henry/Kelley
Flex Cohen?
TE Ertz/Rudolph

My initial thought is to drop Kelley or Marshall as crazy as it sounds. Kelley won't be a factor in PPR but he is RB1 (for now). Marshall looked done Week 1, but with ODB out was that hurting or helping him? Always hard when bench is only 5 deep.

I'd drop Jordan Matthews.  Look at it this way.  You have 2 sure starters - Cooper and Hill.  Williams is your 3rd guy, will cover byes or fill in if injury to one of the other two.  Davis is a lottery ticket, either he's going to go boom as the season goes or he's going to be just a guy among Decker and Rishard Mathews.  Jordan Matthews is not likely to ever see your starting lineup, and he's not likely to all of a sudden turn into a stud in Buffalo.  

I don't have a huge problem with dropping Marshall, but I think he's still got TD potential bc of his size and he will do better once OBJ is there to draw away the best coverage.

I agree that of your list Mathews is the most expendable.  However, what about trying to turn Rudolph into something?  Scored in week 1 and that offense looked good.  Maybe you could sell high and get an even bigger upgrade.
