Who would you cut? (1 Viewer)

I don't have to make this cut until Sunday but I'm really torn here. Standard PPR scoring, 2RB, 2WR start. We can have a maximum of 4/4 rostered but our bench allows 2 flex. (Which can be used to roster literally any of our positions including IDP. Most of us use them for RB/WR depth though.) Trying to get some trade bites but currently I will have to cut one of:

RB: Zeke, Henry, Martin, Mixon, Rodgers, D'Onta

WR: Cooper, Dez, Pryor, Marvin Jones, Funchess

If it were a couple weeks from now I'd be dumping Rodgers hands down as I don't think Martin's handcuff is worth the roster spot, but since it's not I've narrowed it down to: Funchess, Jones, D'Onta...in that order I think. Thoughts?

If you are comfortable playing Henry instead of Rodgers until Martin comes back I'd cut Rodgers-even if it's early- but if you aren't playing him then why not stick with the upside of the other guys. If you are playing him then Funchess is the one to cut as he is only really playable while Olson is out.

You make a great point and added another choice to my decision. Thanks for nothing, lol.

IMO I almost always will side with cutting a WR. In this case it is Marvin Jones because we know what he is and he is prolly arguably 4th to 5th target on the team. Funchess gets the nod over him because he just moved up the pecking order in Panther offense due to a long injury to Olsen. And Donta Foreman's upside makes him very much a hold.

Please give mine a look

Still looking for opinions here. Working some trade angles but not getting much interest. Any and all thoughts on the matter are welcome.

No issue at all with cutting Funchess.  He's only going to be usable while Olsen is out, and with Cam still not himself and Olsen out that offense is going to sputter for a while.  You'll never feel good enough to start him. 

With your RB depth, and Martin coming back in two weeks, I have no issue cutting Jaquizz either.  You said you're fine with cutting him after Martin returns.  But if you're not going to use him before then, no sense in keeping him on at all.
