Use last Waiver pickup on Oakland D/ST or roll with Carolina (vs Staints)?

We are in the 2nd round of the playoffs and I only have 1 more waiver wire acquisition left (we allow a max of 15 on the year).

I want to pick up Oakland (vs Jets) for a spot play this week instead of using Carolina (vs Saints). However, I have no backup QB, so if I make this move & Stafford gets hurt I'm screwed for Championship Game (if i make it), since I would have used my last waiver claim on Oakland.

I know the odds of Stafford getting hurt are slim, but knowing my luck it will happen. So should I roll the dice and pick up Oak, or just play safe and roll with Carolina and hope the rest of my roster carries me? (I have room on bench to keep Carolina and plug them back in next week)

Roster(12 team - PPR)
QB: Stafford
RB: Forte
RB: McCoy
Flex: Reggie Bush
WR: Keenan Allen
WR: Torrey Smith
TE: Gronk
D: Carolina

** All 3 RBs are handcuffed
** I feel like I can just roll with Carolina and still be good but not sure I want to chance it.

That was my initial thought. I'm thinking my team will carry me through this week even if Carolina doesn't put any pts up.

Don't burn your last one. Keep Carolina.

I wouldn't burn the last one. I know the game is in the dome, but they're a good defense.

I'm trying to decided between Carolina or TB (at home vs Bufallo)

Oakland isn't available.

Who would you start?

I think TB has the better matchup and is a good play, but Carolina is obviously the better defense.

Right. But like anyone else, just worried about them playing against the saints in the Dome!

The appealing part about our defensive settings is that each sack is worth 2pts. Does that change things a bit??
