    Well, I have lost again, putting me at the top of a heap of 5-5 teams in fifth place. I am at a total loss. Injuries have killed me nearly every week this season and led to losses. I believe I have lost 6 starters this season. This late in the season, I need to win otherwise my playoff chances are gone. Please let me know what you think. I have attached available running backs organized by points scored, projected points, and %owned. Current roster is in my signature.
    I have no idea what to do with Ronnie Hillman. Do I drop him for Montee Ball or CJ Anderson? Do I attempt to pick up both and drop Hillman and Mason? RB are scarce in my league and nobody seems to want to trade, even down as low as Mcfadden. I am not sure what to do. Jonathan Stewart looked pretty decent and Carolina has a pretty favorable schedule for running backs moving forward. Can I trust him? I have 4 QB which all have value. I was really hoping to trade one of them for someone but nobody has bitten on the chance. If I can't trade them, who do I drop?
    Let me know what you think.
    Thanks
    Brian

    Does my lack of responses mean I am shirt out of luck, and am just stuck? Because that is certainly
    how I feel at this point! LOL

    Sorry man. Been a heck of a day yesterday.

    But I believe you are okay at RB. This week start Gio and Vereen. If Gio can't go start Fred Jackson

    Your team was hit by the injuries big time if I remember correctly so take it easy it happens. Hopefully you can grind out a win this week

    No worries bud, thanks for the response!
    Yeah, 6 injuries to starters since the beginning of the season! It's been rough and is probably surprising that I've managed 5-5 to this point.

    *I currently have Vereen @ IND and Gio @ NO starting RB1/RB2 with Jackson @ Mia on standby. Do I play Jackson, Mason vs Denver, or Anderson @ STL in my flex?

    *Ive also got Reed vs TB, Donnell vs SF, Beckham vs SF, and Baldwin @ KC available for flex. Thoughts?

    *I have been flirting with dropping Mason for Jonathan Stewart. The panthers have a very nice schedule for RB the remainder of the season. Thoughts?

    *I am currently in discussion to possibly get Eddie Lacy or Leveon Bell from the #1 guy in the league right now though. I will update once I see how that shakes down.
    Thanks

    FLEX ANDERSON - Nice pickup for the short term. Don't count on Gio, wish you had HIll

    *Ive also got Reed vs TB, Donnell vs SF, Beckham vs SF, and Baldwin @ KC available for flex. Thoughts?

    Beckham has been a Beast, I like him if i tlook slike Anderson will be part of a muddied committee.

    *I have been flirting with dropping Mason for Jonathan Stewart. The panthers have a very nice schedule for RB the remainder of the season. Thoughts?

    Hard to trust Stewart but he would look better on your bench as a backup over Mason.

    *I am currently in discussion to possibly get Eddie Lacy or Leveon Bell from the #1 guy in the league right now though. I will update once I see how that shakes down.

    I like Lacy a lot more than Bell.
