Bye Week Hell - need plug and play from waivers

Standard Scoring - 10 team league. I have 6(!) players out on bye this. I already know that I'm gonna be running without a Defense, because I don't want to decimate my bench just to get through one week (when I'm 2-1)

Need a flex (RB/WR) for sure and possibly an RB (Have J. McKinnon in the spot for the moment, mostly because I don't really want to drop him and I would have to if I were to try go get someone else for this week - I feel like eventually, he will blow up)

So. An WR/RB and possibly an RB - Who do you like?
Lorenzo Taliaferro VS Carolina?
Devin Hester VS MN?
Jordan Matthews @ SF?
Other ideas?

Brutal. I don't really like any of those three this week (though I love Lorenzo long term). I don't think McKinnon is the answer, but I don't know that any of those guys are either. If Donald Brown or Khiry Robinson are available I would snatch them up otherwise I don't know if I have a better answer for you.

Yep. You've pinpointed the problem. Waivers are highly competeive in my league. Robinson and Brown were gone last week...

and as far as Carolina, Pittsburgh just put 250+ yards on them on the ground? It might be an anomaly, but worth a go for Lorenzo would think

In a 10 team league, there have to be better options out there than holding McKinnon. Would think you can safely drop him and pick him up again next week if you really want.
Would rather have Taliaferro as someone who'll likely be part of the mix going forward
Hester had a great game, but he's not a factor on offense
Matthews is a solid add...think he'll be right behind Maclin going forward. Much more athletic and better fit that Cooper in Philly offense.

I'm not so worried about who to hold going forward (though I think either Taliaferro or Matthews fits the bill fairly well)...I need guys with good matchups this week with 6 players on a bye

Brown just had 50 yards and two TDs on San Fran as the second receiver. Floyd got over 100 yards...I wouldn't be overly concerned about San Fran
