From 5-0 to Big Trouble, Waiver Advice for Injured Starters

[tapionminoshi]

I'm about to be 5-1 after starting 5-0, and it looks like I'm in some trouble for the next few weeks. Now, with two of my starting RBs out for several weeks, and byes looming for Shonn Greene, Greg Jennings, and Plax on week 8, I need to find some fill-ins off the waiver wire.

Here's my roster, followed by the available players on waiver in my league. I'm hoping to get DeMarco Murray to fill in for Felix Jones, and/or Maurice Morris in hopes that Best misses some games and I can snag a starter. Addai is also available. I'd be targeting them in that order, and looking to drop Rice or Baldwin, which I could use some opinions on which to drop as well (i'm not dropping the 49ers defense, our league has a TON of bonus points for defenses, so having two solid D's to use as matchups dictate is smart).

The only player I really like out of that group is Murray.

Breaston out of the WR's, but I like Murray's potential as a starter the next few weeks.

Ouch. I would probably snag Murray for Burress.
