Strong start (5-1), but have RB emergency in week 7 and 8!

In our PPR, 12 team league, our max number of RBs is four.
My RBs: LeSean McCoy (Eagles wk 7 bye), Montee Ball (injured - out), Rashad Jennings (injured - out), Andre Williams (Giants wk 8 bye)

Sooo... should I just leave a hole at running back for the next two weeks assuming I'll make the playoffs? Or should I drop one of them for a waiver pick up? Currently available: Pierre Thomas, Terrance West, Roy Helu, Darren McFadden, Ben Cunningham, Steven Jackson, Knowshon Moreno, Jerick McKinnon?

Who else is on your team? I would say that you should drop Williams for McKinnon anyhow, even though you have Jennings. Jerick has more ROS value IMO. Drop someone else for Mckinnon and play him with Williams week 7 and Shady week 8.

QB: Matt Ryan, back up Brian Hoyer; WR: Antonio Brown, Alshon Jeffery, Josh Gordon, Kendall Wright; LB: Paul Posluzni, back up Jerod Mayo; DST: Dolphins; K: Vinatieri... our line ups require 1 QB, 2 RB, 1 WR, 1 WR/TE, 1 DST, 1 LB, 1 K. Do you think Ball is best to drop?

Dude, drop Jerod Mayo

Mayo is out for the year as of yesterday

Ok, but that doesn't help my RB situation because I can only carry 4 RBs

Then spend the week trying to trade Ball.

Try to trade one... I'd say don't leave a hole at RB for the next two weeks, that just seems like a bad idea. Moreno is a solid pick up though too, so if you drop one I'd say drop Williams

Remember three guys are out both weeks. Will get LeSean back next week, then Wiliams goes out... so if I don't leave a hole, the real question is should I drop Montee Ball for say Jackson or McKinnon...
