Someone in my league just dropped Big Ben so I snatched him up quickly. The problem I have now is Brady is on a bye. What are the chances Brees plays this week? Should I drop Big Ben and pick up someone to play this week?

If you have Brady, why do you need Big Ben (barring injury to Brady)?

Plenty of guys in my league need a QB. I intend to deal Big Ben. I just don't know how long it will take

Ah, I gotcha. Probably need to see the rest of your team. If you're not mandated to start a defense, and want to keep the rest of your bench, I've rolled with no DEF before in order to survive BYE/Injury issues.

QB Brady, Brees, Big Ben
RB Hill, Randle, Ingram, D. Johson, Hillman,
WR DT88, Landry, Benjamin, Adams, Cruz
TE Cook
DST Panthers

Panthers are playing Tampa Bay this week so I really don't want to sit my D. I guess I will wait and see the injury report on Brees. Thanks for the help

I had only Big Ben on my roster. I'm contemplating dropping him. I am 3-0, so having Ben was a luxury. I can grab Carr.

Should I be stashing Ben? Rest of roster:

Julio, Alshon, Moncreif, V Jax, Crabtree
Jamaal, Ivory, Abdullah, R Jennings, Knile Davis
Tucker
STL, NE defenses
Crockett TE

Seriously? Why would you drop Big Ben? Why are you holding 2 defenses?

Drop NE defense, pick up Carr and wait till Ben comes back.

Holding on to Hillman as well huh? I cant drop the guy either and we only have 4BN spots. Man, this is tricky. Id much rather have Big Ben over Brees. Brees hasnt been consistently good in some time. If you ahve any die hard Saints fans in your league, I might try to trade Brees off for a weak position/upgrade at WR. hen grab a flier for this week at QB

6 weeks worth of dead roster maybe?

STL was playing PIT this week so it ddnt seem prudent to play them against the best offense in the league...just haven't dropped them yet
