    Trying to improve at RB. Have Reggie Bush as a starter and Knile Davis & Bobby Rainey on the bench. Third bench spot is occupied by Seattle DST because of the bye.

    Potential pickups on the wire are Pierre Thomas, Khiry Robinson, Matt Asiata, Stevan Ridely & Lorenzo Taliaferro. Any good options there or should I just stick with what I have? Thinking ROS. Tough with 1 of my 3 bench spots occupied by a DST, but what can you do.

    I feel good about my lineup this week. Thinking more long term and ROS is all.

    Roster

    QB Stafford
    WR C. Johnson
    WR Antonio Brown
    RB Reggie Bush
    TE Antonio Gates
    Flex W/R/T Pierre Garcon
    K Gostkowski
    DST San Diego

    Bench Reggie Bush
    Bench Bobby Rainey
    Bench Seattle

    Deangelo Williams is also available, but he isn't really much of an option even with Stewart and Tolbert out.

    Pierre Thomas and Matt Asiata are better than Rainey and Davis with Charles expected to play this week and Rainey's bad game last week giving Martin his job back.

    Thanks! What are your thoughts on Toby Gerhart? Seems iffy to me. He was dropped due to poor performance and bye week.

    Yeah, that's what I figured. ha ha

    A guy in my league just dropped Shane Vereen. Grab him or pass? I could use my waiver wire priority on him (currently 5th and kind of want to hold onto that) or wait until he clears waivers. Or should I just pass in general?

    I did grab Asiata and P. Thomas, so if Vereen is worth it, I could drop one of them.

    How does a PPR league drop a healthy Vereen? That is nuts. pick him up

    We have only three bench spots, so some really good players are getting dropped.

    i would drop asiata for vereen. those 3 bench spots are going to cause a lot of popular guys to land on the wire. in my local, i finally had to give up gordon due to byes. someone picked him up last night.
