I have a little dilemma in one of my other leagues. James Conner is one of my starting RBs. I have Gus Edwards, Breida, Ware, and a bunch of backups like Hines, Latavius Murray, Wendell Smallwood, and Yeldon. I have Alex Collins too but he just got put on IR.
In this league you only get 8 add/drops for the entire season! However there is no waiver process so you can use your add/drops at any time. I only have one add/drop left. It's past the trade deadline but there are no trades in this league either.
You might be thinking that my RBs suck and that there is no way my team is doing well. I am 12-1 with by far the most points in my league and earned the 1st seed with a bye this week, much like you. This is because the rest of my team is Mahomes and Roethlisberger (1 starts) at QB and my receivers are Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, and Keenan Allen. You aren't required to play a TE in this league but there is a WR/TE spot. Conner has been great for me and I've done a good job of choosing my 2nd RB each week with injuries like when Cook was out I played Murray, when Fournette was out I played Yeldon a lot, Breida's had some good games, etc.
So here is my situation, Conner and Breida have already been ruled out this week which is fine because I'm on bye. If neither plays in week 15 I'd be forced to play 2 out of Ware, Edwards, Hines, Murray, Smallwood, or Yeldon. My hope is that Ware will still be the starting RB by then but I'm kind of screwed if he isn't. This is a non-PPR league for the record. So my dilemma is do I waste my last add/drop on picking up Conner or Breida's backup (or another RB) before I know if those guys will play in week 15 and before another team picks them up? If I do that, what happens if my kicker or one of my stud WR's gets hurt during this meaningless week for me, or even worse what if Mahomes and Roethlisberger both went down and I have no add/drops left? I'd be fucked at that point and it would probably cost me the title. By the way, I hate having limits on add/drops! It does make the draft 100 times more important though.
I'm probably going to just wait and see how this weekend plays out but I hope that doesn't screw me.
