WR dregs.
I don't know WTF was up with my team this past week. Underperformances across the board. Suddenly need wins badly to stay in the playoff hunt in my 12-team standard league.

My biggest strength earlier in the season is now my biggest weakness: WR. I had players like Brian Quick putting up big numbers week in and week out, and now they're falling off. I have Demaryius Thomas, but even he is not able to win it for me every week.

DeSean Jackson is probably about to take a dip with Colt freakin' McCoy as the starter for the immediate future. Gotta keep starting him, but UGH.

At WR3, I have Reggie Wayne (suddenly underperforming and now hurt), Brian Quick, and Brandin Cooks (who looked like a great target when I traded for him a couple weeks back). The wire is pretty barren, though I have a claim in for Odell Beckham. Beyond that, I'm staring at the likes of Steve Johnson, Devonte Adams, Andrew Hawkins, and Allen Robinson. The last two are much better in PPR, but that doens't help me in a standard league.

Stand pat, or shake things up? And if so, how?

    I dont mean to sound like a dick, but I dont really see that it was such a strength. Jackson is a weak WR2, and Quick was a flier that worked out for a few weeks. When you have a guy like Quick, you always need to be on the look out for the "next Quick."

    Beckham is a good start. Definitely go after him. I guess Doug Baldwin isn't available? In standard, I think i like Robinson still over Hawkins, Johnson, and Adams.

    Hope for the best with Cooks. Maybe he hit the rookie wall and will bounce back. And you'll have to put Wayne back in your lineup, but you wont have him for 3 weeks (he's out 1-2, but then Indy is on a bye, so they'll probably keep him out for 2 instead of 1)

    Understood, it was overperforming. I also had Andre Johnson which I lost in a trade; seemed like an okay move at the time, as he was still vastly underperforming compared to DeAndre Hopkins. Sigh. Baldwin's long gone; he was actually drafted in my league as a bench player. It's bad enough I was even considering Kearse for potential bounce numbers. LOL. Pursuing Beckham for sure, and yeah, I imagine Cooks is the most likely to survive this purge. But he's got to start getting targeted again like he was before the bye; this last game was very disheartening.

    if you can get ODB i like that the best. otherwise i'd hold in a std league. i don't know who you are dropping for him though.

    Currently Wayne. Partly due to bye week blues Week 10. I'm going to need another roster spot opened up next week and will have to go down to four recievers; I'll decide between Cooks and Quick at that point. Just not sure Wayne is really worth holding on to any more, sadly.

    I don't know who you can drop, but I'd be looking to ODB for sure.

    Understood, but if I miss on him, who else? Or should I grab Beckham AND someone else?

    Out of the ones you names I like Robinson. He is getting steady targets on a team forced to throw. Adams is good too, but more TD dependent.
