Would it be crazy to drop Hampton in a league with short benches and no IR spots? WHIR (1 Viewer)

10 Team. Full PPR. We start 2 RB, 3 WR, 3 RB/WR/TE Flex. No defenses or kickers. 5 bench spots and no IR spots. My RBs are Bijan, Dobbins, JCM, Marks, Vidal, and Hampton. Between bye weeks and injuries, I might need to pick up one of Brashard Smith, Monangai, Spears, Allgeier, Shaheed, Washington etc. and with the rest of my roster the only guy I can drop is Hampton. I'd have to try to get him back closer to when he comes back but bye weeks will be mostly over by then and hopefully the other injured guys will only be out a week or two. Is Hampton an option to drop in a league with such limited roster space? WHIR
 
Could you get around it by dropping Vidal or JCM maybe? Just a thought ?
As of right now, every single one of my RBs other than Hampton is in my starting lineup. It's an option but I'm not sure about starting any of the guys available over those two, which would be what I would be doing this week and most likely longer. The ROS rankings I've seen seem to reflect the lack of a timetable for Hampton's return so it seems like Vidal and JCM along with the guys on waivers are better options going forward for most of the season anyway. I've been trying to find strategy articles to get guidance and the ones I've seen talk about dropping Hampton being a viable option since there aren't any IR spots. Do you think dropping Vidal or JCM is the best option even though they're at least healthy enough to be playable?
 
What is your record? It seems like your league settings are going to push others to make moves like these?

I'd hate to see Hampton back W13 and full strength for the playoffs and not on my team......

5-1. I'm currently in first but it's really close. For some reason the scoring didn't start at the beginning of the season but the commissioner is super shady so I can't dismiss him maybe doing something. Other than QB where a lot of people have two or three, there are some guys on waivers that get mentioned in waiver wire columns every week, especially at TE. The RBs I listed are the top available there.
