We are entering perhaps the most challenging week yet with six teams on a bye (CAR, HOU, DAL, CIN, NYJ, TEN), injuries everywhere, and teams more than ever using a multiple-back approach at running back. Who is healthy? Who can play? Who can you add? In the interest of keeping your team competitive, it may be wise not to replace some players who are out or have bye weeks. It's better to take a zero for one week than lose out on a quality player that you may not be able to get back. You could say the same for the Cowboys' defense (Week 7 bye), who have singlehandedly won some weeks this season.
