should I consider adding?
Foles or Keenum?

They both have favorable schedules the rest of the way, but I don't know if it would be worth my waiver spot

I'm second on waivers and have Luck with Pryor as my backup. Should I take a chance on one of these (also taking one away from the other teams) or should I just leave it alone?

TIA for the advice

I'd consider dropping Pryor for Foles, but I'm not sure it's worth a waiver wire claim.

I'd probably just sit tight and see if he somehow slips to FA and then pick him up.

This is what I'm thinking too....just wanted some more opinions. I doubt either of them will be on the FA market after, but I also don't desperately need one at the moment.

Another reason I want to grab one is because I'm playing the team who has Rodgers and no backup on his team. He is #9 on waivers so fingers crossed that 2 other people grab them before they get to him.

Depending on how good your team is, I might consider picking up Foles then just to screw my opponent this week.

Meaning, if I'm confident about my team and don't think I'll need the WW in the near future, then do it. If I'm not confident about my team, then maybe I hold onto my WW spot.

I'm pretty confident with my team. 6-3 and put up 130 this week with Cameron crapping the bed.

Andrew Luck
Zac Stacy
Le'veon Bell
B. Marshall
Keenan Allen
J. Cameron
Packers d
Crosby

I'm just going to make a game time decision tonight before I go to bed. We also haven't had that "stupid" drop of a player yet this season, but I have a feeling it's coming soon with some owners getting fed up with their players/teams

ETA: Thanks for the input GOON. You usually respond to my threads and give me some helpful advice

After seeing your roster, I might hold onto the WW spot to bolster your RB position in the future. I'm just not sure if I would trust Stacy and Bell long term. They are both doing very well right now, but if they are your starters, I'd be concerned long term. Hang onto the WW spot for a RB that comes up in the future (Vereen or Brown available?) or that stupid drop you spoke of.

Neither of those are available. I also have Doug Martin still on my bench, but who knows what's going to happen with him.

My running backs don't look like all-stars on paper, but they are both 3 down backs in a year where rbs are slim and committee driven. It's also a PPR league so that helps a little.

But yeah I think I'm just going to hold on to my waiver wire spot just in case something comes up

I agree completely. They are producing and that's all that maters. I would just be a little concerned long term. But if they continue to produce like they have, then you'll be fine.

If you know your league well enough that you know nobody will take Keenum then I'd use it for someone else.

If you think someone may grab him then I'd take him (Keenum).

I'd definitely use your waiver claim on a backup qb. If keenum is the best available, then go with him. You can survive without Jennings with lacy, cj, and Brown. You can't survive without a decent option at qb.

Sorry for the late response. You must have posted right when I left my office.
