My main league requires 11 starters but only allows 4 bench spots. This is leading to some big names hitting the waiver wire during the first big bye week. I'll looking at adding one player between 1) Miles Austin, 2) Mikel Leshoure, 3) Jeremy Maclin. (Ammendola and M. Williams are also avail.)

My roster (No PPR, 1pt/20 rec or rush yards, 6 pt TD)



QB: M. Ryan, P. Rivers

RB: F. Jackson, R. Mathews, C. Benson

WR: D. Jackson, A. Brown, T. Smith

TE: J. Tamme

DST: Bears

K: Tynes



Bench: M. Stafford, D. Bryant, D. Martin, A. Hernadez



The only person I think I'll drop is Tamme, which could lead to no starting TE this week. Should I make the move or wait to see who is still on the WW next week?

I would grab Amendola. Most targeted receiver in the league.

Amendola in place of DJackson. I might also gamble on Leshoure for FJax, since I think he has the higher upside with FJax splitting carries with Spiller. Are you required to start a TE? If so, that is a big disadvantage this week.

Glad i dodged that bullet. I was really considering amendola last night.

I do have to start a TE, but with yards counting 1/2 of what they normally do and Tamme's high volume of targets this year, I'm ok with him as my TE - especially now that I have Hernadez in my back pocket.

I think I will not tempt the FF gods by dropping my TE to added depth. I'll do my best to win this week and pick up whatever is left at the beginning of next week.

Good call. Some players such as Amendola, collie, etc are just injury prone and continue to get hurt. Too bad since Amendola is very talented.
