10 team, 1/2 pt PPR.

I have Cousins and Manning. Both with bad matchups this weekend (PHI and BAL respectively). I'm contemplating dropping one of them, likely Manning, to begin streaming a QB. A smith, Hoyer, and Prescott are who I'm considering.

Am I jumping the gun on Eli? He has great weapons but has looked atrocious lately

I've given up on him across the board in favor of streamers. Got Mariota for the next 4 weeks. I've seen Jameis on a few wires as well.

I dropped him to stream Mariota while Rivers sits the bench due to Denver.

Jameis is FA in my league as well. As is Mariota. I'm just more intrigued by those I listed

Dropped him this week. No ones gonna pick him up with the numbers he's been putting up. Even if he has a good week you should be able to re-add him if you wanna.

I traded him 3 weeks ago and I'm very glad I unloaded him when I did. The guy I traded him to dropped him yesterday.

I feel like he won't bounce back soon with some tough matchups ahead. Deciding who to stream for the week is another issue. For me, I'm considering Hoyer 1st, then Alex Smith, and finally Dak

When you drafted manning and cousins you should have done so with the understanding that you would quickly jump to streaming. These two are essentially streaming level qb's anyway.

Mariota's upcoming schedule is pretty good. I'd pick him up

Detroit and Oakland are the 2nd and 3rd worst Ds vs fantasy QBs - Mariota already faced both and didn't do much

I see a lot of people jumping on him thinking he's a safe play. It's not about the defenses, it's about Mariota showing up. Guy is completing like 50% of his passes to WR. He hasnt been good to this point, you are looking at a TD and rushing dependent QB, two things he hasnt shown consistency doing yet. Saw it all of last year and he hasnt taken that next step, he's arguably regressed.

Hoyer is QB4 over the last three weeks

For someone streaming, he's not a bad option at all

Actually I'm in 1st place at 5-0.

Hoyer has been solid, his performance against Dallas was the most impressive thing he's done so far. Alex Smith has a decent schedule going forward as well. For me it's either Smith or Hoyer

Youre 5-0 because Hoyer has been a top 4 QB for 3 of the weeks

You have a QB, you dont need to stream

Alex Smith's name comes up every year as an option vs bad defenses and he shits the bed. It's Alex Smith
