Bye week blues...

[Chowdaheads]

Hey all - I have a problem. My QB (Rivers) is on bye, I have no backup.

Here's my current roster:
QB - Rivers
RB - Turner, Benson, Moreno, Coffee
WR - Colston, Ward, Sims-Walker, Bowe
TE - Witten
K - Folk
DST - Niners

We can play any 4 from the RB/WR/TE position (max of 2 from any single position), so Witten is effectively another receiver for me with some flexibility.

I'm torn on whether to drop one of my players for a 1-week bye fill-in at QB, or to trade some guys for a 1-week fill-in, or to just take a zero at QB for the week... I honestly don't know who to drop... Coffee is probably the front-runner (given that they're on bye next week, and Gore could be back in week 7), but he's got a pretty good matchup this week and I'd like to leverage that. I can probably get Roesthlisberger from another coach for the Niners D and Witten or Sims-Walker, but again, that seems tough to do given it's for a single week, and Rivers is back as my starter next week.

What would YOU do?

Thanks for your input.

I would wait and drop Coffee right at the last minute and pick up a qb. The 49ers are on a bye week next week, Gore should be back after the bye, and if you drop him late, than nobody can pick him up for this week. Or try and offer the Gore owner a 2 for 1 deal so he can handcuff Gore to Coffee. Good luck.

I'd rather take a 0 from the Kicker slot than the QB slot, drop your Kicker.
