I picked up Deshaun Watson 2 weeks ago and feel confident in him going forward. I have Big Ben on the bench. Should I drop him to make room on my bench?

Can safely drop him if there’s a guy you want on your bench

The issue is he is not producing at his level right now and i do not know if he will at this point.

Regardless of if you think Watson is gonna fall off you can stream better production than what Ben is putting up.

I agree. The only reason i have held onto him this long is based purely of the history of past performances.

Bad Ben typically appears in road games and in games against lousy opponents. Check the remainder of the schedule.

The Steelers have sucked in the red zone for years, so that will hold down the TDs. The announcers said yesterday that Ben has completed 47% of his red zone passes this year.

If there's a backup you trust it might not be a bad idea to drop Ben.

I want to see more too but what he's been doing is damn good. #2 QB and didn't even start a game. O'Brien has them essentially running the Clemson offense and it's working. As of right now I'm trusting Watson every week over Ben. It's ballsy but fortune favors the bold.

If this were a keeper league it would be an easy call. But I wouldn't want to be counting on a rookie QB in December.

I get that but let's not forget Ben is playing bad plus has injury concerns. He could easily be out of action in December. So I guess I'd hold him unless for some reason a better QB like Palmer was still on the wire

If i can afford the spot, I might hold off dropping him for now.

The best QB available unfortunately is B. Bortles.

i am in the same position

I have WW #1

My receivers are good, RBs are good

I am thinking about using the WW for Derick Carr... i have Palmer on my bench now and would have won this past weekend had i started him like i planned

I have the Texans D who took huge blows and I can grab Baltimore D which is on WW as well

or should i get Mack
