    Hey guys,

    My lineup quickly is:

    QB: Luck
    RB: Forte, Gio
    WR: Jordy Nelson, Antonio Brown
    TE: Ertz

    My bench is:

    RB: Joique Bell, Ryan Mathews, Andre Williams
    WR: Kelvin Benjamin, Pierre Garcon

    So my question is related to upside for the season. Should I drop Andre Williams or anyone else on my bench to pick up one of these other RB's:

    Jeremy Hill
    Carlos Hyde
    Khiry Robinson
    Terrance West

    Thanks and let me know what you think.

    I don't think Williams is going to have as big a role as previously thought.

    LOVE LOVE Hill this year. He's sure to get about 12-13 carries this year and some goal line looks. He has way more upside than Williams right now with Rashad Jennings in front of him.

    Rest of your roster is fine.

    Thanks Greg. Hill also is the handcuff/compliment to Gio, so that may be the way to go just in case Gio goes down.

    Im big on Devonta Freeman...clear path to carries behind broken and run-down Jackson, the talent to take advantage of the opportunity, and in what should be a high-volume offense...he might not payoff right away but Ive got him stashed in every league I have the roster space to do so, because I feel its an inevitability he gets the call at some point, and, knowing Jackson at this point in his career, it may well be sooner than later. Ditto Hyde to a lesser degree, he's probably the better back, but I think Gore has more left than Jackson so it might be a longer wait.

    Hills a meh talent to me thats going to be, at best, in a timeshare and, at worst, an occasional vulture. Give me the guy who wont have much for competition in the better offense.

    Freeman is a nice stash, but he wasn't one of the players mentioned.

    Hill is a no brainer pickup with you having Gio
