Need Bye Week KCR - drop Likely or Shakir?

[Bills04 56]

I have DAL KCR Aubrey, and NO WAY I'm dropping him over the Bye Week.  Full-point PPR league.  

 

I need a KCR for Week 7.  My weakest Bench players are BAL TE? I. Likely, and BUF (now) WR2 K. Shakir.  My TE1 is PIT TE P. Freiermuth.  I'm leaning towards cutting Likely.  TE is such a waste land this year, when PIT has their Bye Week, I'm thinking I'll be able to pick up someone with a decent matchup that week.  Shakir is "Mr. Automatic," and it will take A. Cooper some time to learn the playbook.

 

Thoughts?

I’m almost in the exact situation as you and feel the same way about Aubrey. Reluctant to cut and play one K down. I’m 5-1 with an estimated 18 point advantage heading into Week 7 so I can afford to be a bit ballzy. I posted something similar and got interesting feedback. One suggested I cut my TE 2 Kraft. I’m reluctant being as my TE 1 is Pitts. Tweedle di, tweedle dum. The other suggested I cut my backup QB Geno, who’s ranked #5 in total points this far. My #1 QB is Lamar. I hold a bevy of RBs, Tank, Tracy, Chase, Najee and BRob. My #1 is Henry. The others function as RB2 and Flex, depending on matchups, byes and injuries. Anyway….so far I’m playing short. I just moved into #1 WW so if I dropped him I’m guaranteed to get him back. The Q is, do I want to waste my #1 WW on Aubrey or go with his replacements/streamers?

All things being equal, with the acquisition of Amari, Shakir could be dropped for a K. But no I’m not dropping Aubrey.

Of you must keep a kicker a third te must go.

Second TE, in this case.  Dropped M. Andrews a week or two ago.

Drop TE

I'd drop in this order: 

1. Freiermuth

2. Shakir

3. Likely

 drop Likely first.
