I like my squad, but my defense is on bye this week so i have to pick someone up. Do i drop my Atlanta D for another? Or do I drop maybe Maclin for a defense?
Squad:
Joe Flacco Antonio Brown Brandon Marshall Trent Richardson Matt Forte Martellus Bennett C.J. Spiller Anquan Boldin Peyton Manning Julio Jones LeSean McCoy Stevan Ridley Jeremy Maclin
This is tough. Id hate to drop any of them. Do you have a real tough match up this week? if not id think about droping your kicker and just picking up another defense for this week. And then drop the defense and pick another kicker up for the following week. But if not that then I guess drop maclin but id hate to do that. Or try and package 2 of your players for a better player to open up a roster spot. good luck

id say just drop your kicker and pick up a defense with a good matchup and hope for the best and then sort things out next week

yes, unless you do want to drop a guy but anyone you would drop im sure would be grabed up quick. So id drop your kicker and pick up a defense with a good match up. Then drop that defense next week and pick up the same kicker or a better one

I'd drop your kicker for a kicker and one of your WRs for a defense. You never ever willingly take a zero at a position. My choice would be between Maclin and Brown. You have enough WRs on your team that one of them will probably be riding the bench for the rest of the season anyway.
A kicker's points could be the difference between a win or loss so drop Henery and pick up another kicker. Hell, you might be happier with another kicker anyway. In my league, Henery is the 17th ranked kicker. As for your defense I would just drop Atlanta and pick up another to play this week. Maybe, since they are on a bye, no other team will pick them up and you may be able to get them back next week. But if you really want to keep Atlanta then I would drop either Maclin or Brown. Like the other post mentioned, 1 of those would be riding your bench most weeks anyway. I would not drop any of your RBs though.
I agree that you should drop your kicker for another kicker.
Between Maclin and Boldin, I'd drop Boldin first. Maclin has more upside. Normally I'd rather drop the defense, but you have one of the best this year, so I can understand your reluctance. You don't list available defenses or the number of teams in your league, so it's tough to say. If you play in a large league (which I doubt, given your lineup), then you might not risk dropping one of the best defenses. But if you have a smaller league and there are a number of good defenses available, allowing you to play defense roulette the rest of the year without losing much, then drop ATL instead of a good WR.
