My bench currently consist of:

Danny Amendola (INJ)
Aaron Hernandez (INJ)
Tony Romo
Hakeem Nicks (INJ) /Hixon(currently)

Amendola is expected back around the end of the Fantasy Regular Season/Start of the playoffs. If my general feeling is that I'll no doubt make the playoffs, should I stash him?

I have a BYE this week for Graham, and need a TE. Should I just drop Tony Romo?

Peyton manning

12 teams, I'm currently 3-1. I wouldn't drop Romo for another QB, it would be for a TE in week 6 because Hernandez may be out, and Graham will have a BYE

I know. I am just seeing what other QBs u could pick up if somebody else picks up Romo off waivers. Dangerous to roll with one QB if nobody to pick up.

Drop Amendola

Keep and eye on him and add him later. No one will pick him up.

I would stay pat for now. Hernandez might play next week. I couldn't imagine using up 3 roster spots for tight ends.

Great advice. No one will pick him up for a week or two at least unless someone is really desperate and willing to wait. You can probably grab him again after this week if you really want to keep him.

Why are you being so hostile?

I won't have the bench space to add a TE next week, so its either Amendola or Romo. I came here to ask about your philosophies on injured players to sway my decision.

If I had dead weight on my roster and I thought I could stash Amendola I would definitely snag him.

I did it last year when someone dropped Colston and it paid off big time.

Drop him as a last resort but don't if you don't have to. Just my 2 cents.
