Bye Week Issues
14 team / .5 pt ppr

Sorry for length - need help before waivers tonight.

QB: Cutler
RB: Gerhart, CJ2K, M. Ball (Bye), Jeremy Hill (Bye)
WR: Cruz, Decker, Kelvin, Gordon, AJ Green (Bye),
TE: Kelce, Jordan Reed
D/ST: Texans
K: Bailey

My bye week is real rough – need 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex. Looks like I basically have to play one of Gerhart and CJ2K and also hope Decker plays unless I drop Gordon (which I really don’t want to do). I could drop Jordan Reed for another RB. Who do you think is the best filler? I have #1 waiver priority. Blount (could be a blowout of the Bucs), Taliaferro, Oliver, McKnight, Denard Robinson, Daniel Thomas.

Even though I pretty much need players bc of the bye, is it worth my #1 waiver priority in a 14 team league? I feel like Blount will get a bunch of garbage time play against his old team. Taliaferro would be a better long term play potentially but not guaranteed touches.

Should I risk it and keep my waiver order and hope someone drops a good player due to bye weeks?

    I think you should definitely drop Reed to pick up some help and from these choices Blount makes sense, though I would be tempted to try Taliaferro. Also depending on your record you could also just wave the white flag this week, put who you can out there and hope vs. wrecking your roster and giving up your waiver position. And just a note re: Gordon; understand wanting to hold him but if you aren't in a position to make the playoffs he's not really going to help you

    I feel you. Too early to say if I'll make the playoffs since it's a 14 team league and I'm only 1-2. Gordon will be good trade bait though and just isn't worth giving up to someone for free. I just don't know if spending the #1 waiver on Taliaferro is worth it if I can get similar production out of a flier player later in the week. Who knows if Pierce plays this week. If someone goes down this weekend or someone drops a solid player, I can grab them with that #1 spot.
