I won't have any more weeks of this many bye week players.  Maybe injuries, but not as many bye week players......THe best TE for me to pick up is Pitta again....I'll miss Henry but I could live with Miller and Pitta and maybe somebody catches fire like Henry did.....I don't mind starting Miller but losing Tucker would have hurt. I couldn't find a kicker like him .  Nugent just a one week fill in and then cut. ....If Nugent makes a few in London, it may be what I need to win this week.  Much like The Bengals, I need a win THIS WEEK. .....I started 0-3 because my first time and the draft was so fast, I could not always find players on my draft board list. I have picked up good players. Have really improved at RB...Henry was a big plus at TE, but.....Now at 3-3, but can not afford to take a loss with bye week players as I see others do...I want to get to 4-3.....Just as Bengals need to get to 4-4......This league started a week late......I'm also up against a team named Steeler Nation and I'll be darned if I spoon feed a Steeler Fan a win by starting 4 or 5 guys not even playing Sunday.  I want THE PUDDY TATS to beat STEELER NATION......Puddy Tats starting Dalton, Hill and Nugent and London is a big game in beating Steeler Nation for me.  Marshall of Jets banged up, but him I will not drop.  Bye weeks cause this not to be the team I want, but the team I have.  I'm counting on Bengals huge. The only bench player for me not on bye week is Wilson, but Dalton playing better.  If Dalton has a big game and my Seattle defense has a big game, I'm in the running with a lot of points right there.   That game in London, I'll be up early. Bengals can move to 4-4 and Puddy Tats can move to 4-3.

Never drop a decent player option to pick up a kicker for a bye. If you have dead weight on your roster that you're never going to play, fine. Also, don't freak out if you have a few players on bye the same week. Don't chance screwing up your roster for the rest of the season for one game, just take the one week hit and move on with the roster you want the rest of the year.

If you don't have any dead weight, roll with the kicker on bye. The difference between Tucker and Nugent is about 2.5 pts per game right now.

One more thing, but you may already know this. Whenever you use waivers, it drops you back down to the bottom of the list, so the next time or several you try to make a claim, you have a bunch of people ahead of you in the queue.
