1 pt PPR.

I am pretty deep at WR but have Darrius Heyward-Bey and DeAndre Hopkins both stashed on my bench and will need to drop one for a bye-week pick-up.

Any thoughts on who should be better ROS?

I feel like both are in a good position to get lots of targets going forward.

I think they both get targets the rest of the season, and I probably make my decision based on who has a better QB not who is the better receiver. I'd take my chances with Luck over Keenum

Plus since this is a rest of season question. . . Wayne is out for the year. O. Daniels should be coming back for fantasy playoffs.

Only thing I would monitor would be DHB after this week. See his production and particularly if he has any hamstring issues. If he's lame, I'd think twice since that may linger on.

Thx for the advice, you made some good points. Unfortunately, I'll need to make the decision before they play this weekend so I will need to make a guess without knowing for sure about DHB's hammy

Yeah, I'm just saying going forward. I'd keep DHB, but wouldn't hesitate to drop him after this week if he has any issues.

He practiced today so it shouldn't be anything too serious. I would go with DHB especially since he caught a td after wayne got hurt.

I would take a different approach:

Indianapolis is placing emphasis on the ground game this year, and will so even more, now that their most reliable receiver is out. They are also a good team that won't constantly be playing from behind.

Houston flat out sucks thus far. They are constantly playing from behind. I know he's a rookie, but he certainly looks to be in line for some opportunity down the stretch.

If you swapped Hopkins to the Colts and DHB to the Texans, the choice would be so easy. The problem with Hopkins is the QB, but Hopkins is overflowing with talent. DHB has the QB, but lacks in talent.

Tough choice. If I had to make the choice, I'd probably give DHB a shot to regain his career.

Thing is, if DHB turns it around, it will be soon. If Hopkins turn his season around, it will probably be later in the year. So I'd keep DHB for now, and if he doesn't produce over the next few weeks, you can probably dump him and pick up Hopkins for the fantasy playoffs.
