Mark Ingram was dropped in my standard point 14-team league, so now I'm wondering if I should pick him up as a free agent. He's had a great season before the injury and I don't want him picked up by another team, but I'm thin on the bench right now, so that's my dilemma.. if I should pick him up, who should I drop? any opinions on if and why I should do it?

My team:

QB: McCown (injured 1-2 weeks), Cousins (had RG3)
RB: Foster, CJ Spiller, Moreno (injured 4-8 weeks), Forsett
WR: Marshall, Boldin, Terrance Williams, Dobson, Josh Gordon (back in week 12)
TE: Rudolph
K: Bryant
DB: Burnett
LB: Lavonte David, Burfict
DE: DeMarcus Ware

Starting positions are: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DB, 1 LB, 1 DE

Ingram will be back way before Moreno will, and entirely possible he's better fantasy wise than Moreno anyways. Also..A thin bench probably shouldn't have Gordon on it either.

y not, scary thing about ingram was his lack of usage......he was just getting TD's, he was only getting like 28% of the snaps

I would drop McCown.

No reason to stash him. He is out for awhile and he sucks anyways.

No question- McCown is the drop here. You should be able to grab a bye week QB that is as good as McCown sometime down the road.

Geesh..i didn't even look at the Qb's..First, yes McCown is the first guy to dump, but secondly, and more importantly, you need to do some overhaul on this thing, and I'm not entirely sure Ingram is the best guy to grab in this instance. Already way too many injured/suspended players for a league with such a thin bench as you're entering bye weeks next week. Heck you're down another guy with Foster this week. I'd be searching for replacements for Moreno, Gordon, McCown just for starters. I realize this is a 14 team league and starters are awfully hard to come by, but you need warm bodies just in an effort to stay afloat.

Thanks for all input. I'm cursed at QB with starting RG3 the first two games and McCown this week. I've still managed to be 2-0 so far though.
