Any reason to panic? WHIR

[BearsFan65]

So after getting victimized by that little Tom Brady clinic last night, I lost my first matchup of the season. Naturally, I'm looking at my entire roster and thinking "I'm screwed", when in reality I'm probably just fine. 12 team PPR, all td's = 6, 2 pt bonus for scoring plays over 40 yards. My roster:

QB - Ryan
RB - Rice, Felix, Jacobs, M Bush
WR - Wallace, Holmes, Britt, Amendola, Ford
TE - Daniels
DST - Chicago
K - Bironas

Ryan and Daniels were invisible this week. Half a dozen average QB's or TE's would have got me a win this week in their places. I keep telling myself don't panic on Ryan. That's the right approach, isn't it? They're going to throw plenty this year, and the scores will come. Same thing with Daniels - one week just isn't worth getting rolled up about, and he's going to get his when they play teams that have any kind of run defense (sorry Indy, that ain't you).

The question mark for me is Michael Bush. I think I expected more/different usage of him, but again one game isn't enough to call a trend. He's got huge value if DMC goes down, but if that doesn't happen is he the spot starter I thought he might be?

Available on the wire this week - Kolb, Henne, Cadillac, E Graham, D Henderson, B Gibson, L Kendricks, R Gronkowski. I like depth at RB, and in week 5 Rice and Felix are both on byes. But is dropping Bush for any of the above a good or bad move? WHIR, thanks!

I had the same panic attack with Matt Ryan (though I won my matchup this week), and I agree with you that it's far too early to give up on him. However, from the looks of it, you don't have a backup QB, which isn't a good idea. I would recommend you snatch up Kolb. He had a good week (albeit against a horrible defense) that would have been even better had he not fumbled twice. Since Amendola is hurt for next 5 or 6 weeks, so he's probably the top candidate to drop (unless you can put him on IR?).

Since your starting RBs have a bye at the same time, I would not recommend dropping Bush. His potential value is just too high if DMC gets hurt, and he could chip in here and there on a bye week. The Raiders play HOU in week 5, which could be a pretty good matchup.

Good luck.
