QB Bye advice needed - back up is Dak

[zole2112 10]

Herbert is on bye this week. I have Dak as my backup and the following on the waiver wire, I have the 10th waiver priority (that's the penalty for being 4-0 and blowing everybody else away lol)

 

Dobbs vs Cin

Wilson @ Den

Howell vs Chi

Jimmy G vs GB

Ridder Vs Hou

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

thanks!!

I know Dak is playing the 49ers but I don't see any better options.

One of them will probably have a better game, but it's a toss up as to who it is.

If I had to pick one, Howell I suppose. He's been a decent option other than the debacle against Buffalo. That's not gonna happen against the Bears

Thanks man, I have a waiver request in for Howell (I was thinking he would be the best waiver option if I were to do that) actually and drop Allgeier but I may cancel it and just roll with Dak.

That's probably best.

I wouldn't drop Allegier for a bye week fill in QB. He's one of the best handcuffs in the league.

Agreed.

Thanks, staying with Dak

Agree you should just stick with Dak.  I think that's why your are keeping a second QB - if you aren't going to start him here, you should just drop him.  Howell has a juicy matchup, but he could also faceplant.

What are your thoughts on Allgeier as a stash vs Spears or McLaughlin in a ppr league?

I think I would still take Allgeier.  He's already shown he can be a productive RB. If Bijan is injured, or runs down a bit towards the end of the season, Allgeier should be a decent option.

The other two. I wouldn't want anybody on the Broncos. Spears, if Henry goes down, he's gonna jump in, but they suck. And if Derrick Henry is struggling, then it's hard to think somebody else is play better.
