Right now I'm 8-1 in a 12-team 1PPR League. Have been hammering opponents with 1105 points so far. Unfortunately, I needed to make week 9 bye moves and only have two RBs. I want to have 3, possibly 4 RBs for a potential playoff run.

My team:

QB Philip Rivers
QB Ryan Tannehill
RB Mark Ingram
RB Lamar Miller
WR Antonio Brown
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Jeremy Maclin
WR Stepon Diggs
TE Greg Olsen
TE Gary Barnidge
K Josh Brown
DST St. Louis Rams


That said should I consider:

1) Dropping to 3 WRs?
2 Dropping to 1 TE?
3) Drop Tannehill after week 10 and go Rivers the rest of the way?

Right now backs like Gio Bernard, Vereen, Starks, Theo Riddick, Ryan Matthew, Karlos Williams, and Charles Sims are free agents. Otherwise I'm looking at making a trade.

Any feedback on my 3 "considerations" or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would pick up Starks or Karlos and drop a tight end. Take a stab at who is going to be hurt more the rest of the year, Lacy or Shady.

You might have to hold on to 2 QB's a bit to see how Rivers is going to do with so many of his receivers hurt.

Thanks. Good point about the Rivers situation. Forgot that Floyd is done too.

Flip Barnidge for RB depth. You can probably also drop Tannehill after week 10, or even right now if some QBs with solid matchups are available.

I agree, but a guy with a scrub team just rostered him. :-(

Cannot believe you dropped Barnidge. Could have traded him or something.

How are those guys free agents in a 12 team league?

How the hell are these people available in a 12 team league. Someone is going to get a steal in the tight end you dropped.

This turned out to be a I play in a 20-team league and just dropped Gronk to pick up Brady on waivers thread.

12-team and OP drops Barnidge and Gio is on waiver wire.

Maybe pick up the guy that scored 18.2 standard and overtook a lot of drafters' first round picks.

Jerry Rice almighty
