Drop WR/RB for 2nd QB (Big Ben?)

Postby Niner Memories » Mon Sep 06, 2010 3:56 pm

Ben Roethlisberger just cleared waivers, and I am thinking about picking him up as my backup QB.

The problem is this...I have a gaping hole in my WR corps that needs help.

I have a few borderline WRs with potential that I could drop, but one of them needs to be an every week starter for me. I have good RB depth, but hate dropping one of them this early in the season.

I would like to have Ben as my backup, and am sure that he will prove valuable...but I am unsure.

Drop who?

I am leaning towards Massaquoi or Felix Jones :-o

QB- RIvers
RB- CJ
C.Benson
A.Foster
WR-Fitz
C.Johnson
M.Colston
M.Williams (TB)
TE- Gonzales
K-Gotskowski
D-S.D.

BN- L.McCoy, CJ Spiller, Felix Jones, Massaquoi, D.McCluster

What other Qbs are on waiver? In other words, if you just need someone for a bye week, is there one you can pick up then? Or is Ben dropped because ppl are impatient? I think you have good depth at RB, but dropping Jones is a little risky because he may have a great game and become the flavor of the week. If you feel like you have to have Ben now, you could drop any of the last 3 on your bench. But if there are other Qbs on the waiver wire that could fill in for a week, I wouldn't swaet it.

help?

I agree. I don't know that Ben is worth stressing about right but if you must get him don't drop Felix. He does have big games from time to time. I'd hate to drop him for a guy who won't even be playing for 4 weeks. Keep Jones and see what happens. If you must pick up Ben why not drop McCluster. That's who I'd go with.

Help?
