Add Dalton to see what happens?

[LVSaint429 16]

14 Teams so QBs are scarce in case of injury. Have Hurts with week 5 bye so thinking of adding Dalton. Would you drop any of these bench WRs for him?

APierce, Lazard, Slayton, TJohnson

No, no rush to pick up a Qb yet, wait, what if there is another injury.

Exactly my point! I looked & Slayton was the lowest rostered of the bunch so dropped him for Dalton. Panthers have decent talent at WR so gonna watch & see how Legette gets used too

It really depends on your league - if QBs are really scarce (i.e .Dalton is literally the only starter available), it makes sense to be prepared with a bye-week sub.  Of course, injuries can always occur, so you still may need to make adjustments even after you make the pick-up.

Best move is to wait until the weekend you need a Qb, someone surprising could get released from another owner, another starter might get hurt with a favorable matchup fir his backup. 

Both of my leagues are 14 team leagues, depth at rb/wr very hard to come by, in a few weeks most of it will be dried up.

I did, in a Superflex, after losing both Love and Tua. Lawrence being my #1 (ugh), left me no choice but to go with the big red head.

in a 14 team league adding a QB is not a bad idea, especially over slayton.  did you not have another QB on your bench though?

Actually with the way QBs get hurt & we have deep benches, I like to hold 3 QBs, especially with bye weeks starting soon. 
I have Watson vs WAS for Hurts’ week 5 bye but want to have an option just in case. Had Darnold as my QB3, but packaged him & Kyren in a deal for Gibbs after week 1. (His QBs were Young & Wilson )

Superflex is so much fun, it rises the bar at the Qb slot.

Like that deal for you getting Gibbs. There will be other new QBs starting by the time Week 5 rolls around. Winston? Rudolph? Lock? Someone is gonna get hurt.
