I've been thinking of making a move for a couple weeks now even though I've been winning, so I'm gonna ask for some input here.

Today I'm leading 100-62 with only Aaron Hernandez and Jason Hansen left, but he only has RunDMC (.9 points in the first half), Antonio Brown and the Steelers' d so I think I'll be able to weather the storm. As far as long-term goes, I'm pretty weak at running back, and mostly set everywhere else. Every week one of my starting running back's is having a bad game. Here's my starting lineup this week, although it's not my normal starting lineup due to a couple bye weeks.

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Darren Sproles
RB Doug Martin
WR Sidney Rice (normally on the bench)
WR Vincent Jackson (normally my flex)
TE Aaron Hernandez
Flex Jonathan Stewart
K Jason Hansen
Def Redskins (was Eagles until last week, Eagles on bye this week but have been underwhelming all year)

Bench
WR Roddy White (bye, normally starting)
WR Julio Jones (bye, normally starting)
RB Larod Stephens-Howling (inconsistent, had a huge week this week though)
QB Ben Roethlisberger
TE Fred Davis - soon to be dropped
WR Jeremy Maclin (bye)
TE Kyle Rudolph
K Greg Zuerlein

I guess one of my best trade chips is Roethlisberger and one of the Falcons' wideouts, but nobody in my league likes to trade, i.e. I'd have to throw a crazy offer just to get a good deal. And the waiver wire pickups go really quickly here, and when combined with the fact I'm consistently nearly last on the waiver wire (subject week to week) it means most of the time I'm SOL.

Sure I'm winning games but I'm not getting consistent performances, I've been more lucky than others most weeks. I don't have one starter at running back who's consistent anymore and between White/Jones when one of them has a big game it means the other has a bad game.
