Lowest rostered percent is Jauan Jennings. Having 3 defenses is a lot, so I assume probably drop a defense, but which? Browns have been disappointing and so have the Jets. Jets might be the best option to drop?

I'm going to pick up Colby Parkinson for just 1 week while Goedert is on a bye. Can't help but feel that the 5-12 points he's going to contribute won't even be worth the trouble.

If your league has waivers, and you’ve got a backup option for your TE pickup, you could definitely drop them later in the week to have waivers give you another chance at picking them up next week. That’s my plan for finding a bye week replacement this week.

I don't keep a backup TE or QB. My logic is they're easy to replace. Normally I'd just drop my TE like I'd drop my QB. In my league where I drafted Kyle Pitts I'm dropping him, but Goedert has been great this year among otherwise weak TE play so I'm afraid to lose him.

But the longer I look at my problem, I just need to figure out which of the 3 defenses is the worst. Probably Jets. If someone disagrees let me know.

You don't keep a back up tight end or QB but have 3 defenses?

[–] RoidingOldMan 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah. I usually keep 2 defenses.

There are maybe 20 startable QBs in a week, 5-10 startable TE's, and potentially 15 startable defenses. Tight Ends are top heavy (seems to have to do with which QB's like to throw to TE's more than anything). the defenses are match up dependent and heavily fueled by home advantage. So it makes sense to start a different defense almost every week. Where QB's tend to perform about as well as the offense as a whole. There is usually at least a pretty good QB option available on the waivers whenever. Even moreso than defenses.

Well I'd drop a defense.. Whatever one you dislike the most
