10-team league. Half PPR. 0.25 per carry. 15 yards per point rushing, receiving, and return.

1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex, K, D, 2 IDP.

My WR are boom/bust (Pickens, P. Washington, J. Williams, M. Wilson).

Pretty stacked at RB (Gibbs, Swift, Coleman, B. Allen, Marks, R. White, Skattebo).

Switching out QB based on matchup (Lawrence and Love).

TE is McBride.

Been playing Steelers D all season and streaming Bears vs TB this week while they are on bye.

Had Loop at K and now need to drop someone to pick up another one.

Question is: Which RB do I drop (knowing they will get picked up off waivers for rest of season), or risk dropping Steelers D?

Also, which K to pick up? Bates? Santos? Gay (he's K3 in our scoring but not sure about their offense)?

League is highly active on waivers but very conservative with trades. Decent money involved and all pretty competent owners.

League is also highly competitive right now. 3 tied in first at 5-3. 3 more at 4-4. I am in the second group. 4th place with second most total points for. A win this week would likely move me into 1st or 2nd at worst, but concerned about which RB has the best long-term value and holding Steelers D while on bye.

Why wouldn't you just drop Loop and roll with Gay? He's K #3 in our settings too.

I'd do this, but if you are dead set on dropping someone, it would be Allen. He got hurt toward the end of last week's game and Hall is supposed to be back anyway.

Loop is already dropped. Picked up Bears D to stream this week in his place. I have an empty K slot right now. I have to drop someone else to fill K--either one of the RB or Steelers D.

I would drop the Steelers D and either try to get them back or stream. Never know, you may be able to get a better defense. I do know that it is easier to stream defenses than running backs. You could also try to do a 2 for 1 trade with someone in your league that is struggling. That would then give you an open roster spot.

I think this is the right move. My IDP are on bye the following two weeks, and they're 1-2 overall (Alex Singleton and Ernest Jones), so I'm not dropping them, but this would give me one more week to figure out which RB is least useful, and hope I can pick Pittsburgh back up or stream well on D.

I think it's obviously Allen. He's reverting back to backup status, and everyone else on your team is currently a starter.

Coleman took the job from Dobbins last week, and Skattebo will be the guy when healthy. Marks is a #1 as long as Montgomery is out.
