    Default Who To Drop?

    League Details in Signature.
    I have a team I am mostly happy with, the tricky part is my typical drops are playing well while my higher end players (Gaudreau) are playing poorly but not dropable.

    Looking to drop a forward to stream some W/F/Sunday games this week.

    Forward positions do not matter at all.
    Which of: Nelson, Rodrigues, Marchessault, R. Smith, Gaudreau are you dropping?

    I'm leaning towards R. Smith, who does not play a game I can roster in almost a week (only game is Saturday and he sits).
    Gaudreau is too good despite his slow start.
    Marchessault is also too good to drop IMO.

    G, A, P, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, Hits, W, SV%, GAA, SVs
    C: C. Keller, C. Mittelstadt, B. Nelson, R. Strome,
    LW: K. Connor, B. Tkachuk, J. Gaudreau, J. Marchessault, E. Rodrigues, A. Lafreniere
    RW: K. Fiala, J. Bratt, T. Jeannot V. Arvidsson
    D: R. Josi, J. Trouba, E. Gustafsson,
    G: L. Thompson, F. Gustavsson, V. Vanecek

    Yes, it is is between Smith and Rodrigues for me.

    Smith based on your schedule.
    Rodrigues based on skill. I know he is doing well, but I don't think he maintains it.

    Rodrigues for me because I think the premier deployment for him has to change at some point. I like Reilly Smith longer term this year, but if you're playing week to week, then I understand making him the drop.

    Can't fault you for Smith, although to me Rodrigues is the ultimate fantasy tease, with stretches of nothing then a 2+ point game once you've benched him. Feast or famine is not what you want when you're looking to stream.
