My team has been gutted with Keenan Allen and Le'veon Bell out for the season.

This is what I am left with limping along. Debating on dumping Witten and Woodhead as maybe some trade fodder. I am 5-3 and 4th in my league.

My rbs for this week are Shane Vereen and Johnathon Stewart (CJ2k on bye week)... nobody in my league will make a reasonable RB trade with me lol.

Could be worse. I have Palmer, CJ2k, and Forsett on bye with........ Bishop Sankey and Tevin Coleman as my replacements. Welp this week is a loss. At least Derek Carr should put up decent points as bye week replacement.

My options are:
Stephon Diggs
Antonio Brown
Mike Evans
Amari Cooper

Brown is obvious and Diggs has been very good to me every week

Also Hurns, who may have a big week due to Cromarti coverage

Diggs and Brown are no brainers for sure.

I'm kind of surprised how high experts have Evans this week. And how little love Hurns is getting. I guess people are worried Hurns will spend some time on the Island this week, though it seems more likely that Robinson will draw that honor.

I'd say Evans in standard, Cooper in PPR. Cooper will rack up his yards and catches, but the Steelers have been pretty decent keeping WRs out of the actual endzone. Evans is the definition of boom or bust this year.

If you want to play it safe I'd go Hurns. He's like a guaranteed double digit day where the other two can easily give you 5. Just don't expect the potential 20+ point outburst that's a chance with the other two.

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for. It's also pretty much what I was thinking too.

Evans has been almost entirely bust this year and he hasn't followed any patterns either- meaning he will inexplicably sputter in games that he should do well in. He has the 'potential' to break it open big, but has really only done so one game this year- and that isn't good this far in. I think he is consistently over ranked, and he has made me pay for trusting the ranking systems several times this year.

Cooper has alternated between solid performances and extremely minimal performances all year, but at least he is been somewhat predictable.

Totally agree that Hurns is a consistent and predictable mid-range points return but lacks the ability to break it open like Cooper or Evans.

Ultimately, I think that the Steelers are going to limit Cooper to another relatively minor performance and I think Evans is going to have another no-show day.

Going to take my chances with Cooper since my other two receivers are fairly solid.

I don't know who to start between Robinson and Cooper. Was leaning Robinson but the Revis matchup concerns me.

Lamar Miller carrying me this week, I needed it too. He's the only RB on my roster since the start of the year, I've lost the rest to injuries (well, sort of. I have Forte). Went 7-0 in my league due to miracles, and I feel like I'm going to flop out in the playoffs because I just can't stop having players get injured. 7-1 now because Rodgers decided to put up dog shit last week and I lost by .8 =/
