Tricky RB Situation-Advice Needed

[Gaetti]

I have a tricky situation and need some advice. I'm still trying to fix my team after losing Brady and Burleson last week. I'm in a keeper league and can only have 4 RB's on my roster. Here is my current RB situation:

 

Tomlinson-bye week 9

J Stewart-bye week 9

Julius Jones-bye week 4

Slaton-bye week 2

 

I'm considering dropping Slaton and picking up Sproles to handcuff Tomlinson, especially considering how he has looked thus far. What are your initial feelings about this move and also consider that I will have 3 RB's on bye in week 9 and will only have Jones as a starter.

Any thoughts?

Well, first obvious question that pops into my mind is are you allowed to start only 1 RB?

If you can only carry four RBs, I would not want to have both LT and Sproles. I would want to have four RBs who all have different bye weeks, so that I would have at least three to choose from every week, to take advantage of matchups. I might look to trade Stewart, actually, and bring back a solid RB who has a different bye week than LT, Julius, or Slaton. Some people probably see Stewart as the main man in Carolina's backfield, but in the end, I still think for this season at least, it will be a time-share with D Williams.
