Would you drop Miles Sanders to pick up Derrius Guice?

I'm in a huge 18 team PPR league but I still haven't really used Miles Sanders much off my bench as I've been rolling with Dalvin Cook and David Johnson most weeks with Adrian Peterson getting a couple flex starts. Obviously David Johnson seems to be fading which is a concern.

Next week will be tough with Cook and Johnson on a bye so I'm going to be starting either Peterson and Sanders or Peterson and Guice (yeah, not good, but in an 18 team league you'd be surprised at the shite RB duos people have to put out during bye weeks).

I'm wondering if Guice has more upside over Sanders for the rest of the year?

ETA:

My other option would be to keep Sanders and add Guice by dropping my backup TE (Delanie Walker). The problem with that is that in an 18 league there are ZERO TEs on the waiver wire. I'd be left with my starter Jack Doyle and praying he doesn't get hurt for the rest of the year.

That's tough. In my opinion, I would say to keep Sanders. We've gotten to see him this year and we know that he is a very explosive player in a somewhat competent offense. He passes the eye test. Also this is a PPR league so that works in favor for Sanders. We just don't know what we are getting with Guice as we haven't really seen him since LSU.
May I propose an alternative solution? Drop AP for Guice if you are on the Guice train. No point in having 2 running backs from one of the worst offenses in the league on the same fantasy team.

Thanks. I think you are right. I just went back and looked at Sanders production and it hasn't been bad. Not confident Guice will be more productive.

With Miles Sanders, you’ll always be worried about the presence of Jordan Howard as an early-down and goal line back, but Sanders is an explosive player that has broken multiple big plays. I wouldn’t run away from that.
