Vaccaro benched?

Was is just because he couldn't cover Gronk (not that any one besides Eric Berry can these days) or was there a more prominent issue where this could continue?

I read it to be an attempt to avoid injury before a trade.

So, Vaccaro shouldn't be in line-ups this week right? I grabbed Miles Killebrew to plug in instead.

I read he was benched for Von Bell who previously lost his job to Marcus Williams. If they truly are drawing interest in trade talks, they would probably want to avoid an injury to him. But I really dont know.

I wouldn't start Killebrew either, he's a part time player.

Hmm, How about Xavien Howard on Miami? He played 95% snaps last week.

Killbrew is trending in the right direction but you might be half a season early on starting him. Having said that, Tavon Wilson did get hurt on MNF (and that is potentially why Killbrew saw an uptick in playing time)...as of yesterday, Wilson wasnt practicing. If Wilson does not play, Killbrew is a great plug in...keep an eye on Wilson.

Eddie Jackson (if available) would be a good option as well. He's playing every snap and the Bears LB's keep dropping like flies, so, that should help the safeties produce.

Derrick Kindred is another guy that is playing all of snaps for his team at safety and appears to be in the more desirable safety role for the Browns (which, most thought Peppers would fill). He is kind of a forgotten safety and might still be sitting on your WW also.
