Drop Stafford and pick up Rivers?

8 team PPR League, Have Cam already and use Stafford for backup. However, Rivers is available for me to pick up. Actually so is Fitzpatrick.

 

Should I pick up Rivers and play him next week vs the colts? My opponent has K.Benji and will be playing him no doubt, and Stafford is playing GB at lambo, so not the best case scenario for him.

Funny last week someone asked if Rivers was done.

 

I think he's worth a pick up.

 

But in a eight team league I wouldn't rush out to do it.

Would you play Cam in spite of the other person having K.Benji or play stafford instead?

Cam.

No need to have a back up in an 8 team league. Use the roster spot on an extra RB/WR. If Cam goes down, you will still have quality QBs to pick from.

in an 8 team league, I dont know that I'd even bother to roster a backup.

 

once you get into QB10 territory, the difference between QB10 and QB 16 is not very large. Better off to roster someone with upside at RB or WR. You will always be able to get a decent QB on the wire in an 8 team league.

Agreed, 8 team league. Leave him on the wire.
