I have James Conner, Fournette, and David Montgomery along with Guice. I'm starting Conner and Fournette.

I'd really like to pick up Curtis Samuel to be either my WR2 or Flex position(Michael Thomas is my #1), but I need to drop someone. I'm just not feeling Guice this year and I think the Skins are gonna be a dumpster fire.

Good idea? This is my first time ever playing Fantasy so I'm afraid to make the wrong decision.

Who is on your bench? And how many teams are in your league?

Your best bet IMO would be to wait.. way too early to tell on guice. Also, you just got finished drafting, do you not like your WR2?

Post your roster if you can

Why do you really want Curtis Samuel? That's random

10 team league... I've got Guice, Montgomery, Rothlisberger, Mark Andrews and Dede Westbrook on my bench.

I also have T.Y Hilton starting at WR, but with the Luck news, I'm not as high on him as I was.

I've been listening to some fantasy podcasts and reading and everyone seems to think he's doing awesome at Panthers training camp. Unguardable was used. He's just sitting there a a free agent and thought I'd pick him up.

I’d drop Roethlisberger assuming your starter is a stud in a 10 team league

There will be plenty of QBs on the waiver wire when you need to fill in.

You don't need to roster Mark Andrews or Big Ben in a 10 team league. A decent number of fantasy owners don't carry a backup TE or QB and instead decided to stockpile backs and receivers instead.

Don't cut Guice.

STG or BR or somewhere else

I don’t keep a back up TE at all. And I try to stay as low as possible on the waiver wire the first two weeks. There is always a RB or WR that is injured or somebody who emerges.

I went WR heavy early in my draft last year and I got Phillip Lindsey after week 1 and he became the best RB on my team.

You need to keep as many RBs and WRs as possible on your bench, no need for a backup TE or QB; especially for a 10 team league.

If Guice stays on the field, he will be a top 5 RB by mid season

Dropping a starting RB for a WR is rarely a good decision.

If you get hit with the injury bug during the season, it's much easier to find a serviceable WR on any given week than a RB.

Guice is going to outscore Fournette this season.

Samuel is literally unguardable.

They brought in Chris Harris, Rhodes, and Gilmore as a publicity stunt to see what they could do and he torched them all.

He’s literally unstoppable.

I'd be weary of anything coming out of Panthers camp. Newton had his best completion percentage last year because he relies a lot McCaffrey & Olsen.

On average Newton is completing about 20 passes a game, you can expect 1/2 of that to the TE & RB position, which leaves about 10 receptions per game between Samuel, DJ Moore, Wright, Hogan & Torrey Smith.
