That is a tough choice - I would not want to drop any of them but Westbrook looks like the obvious choice due to combination of least talented / worst situation.
Please speak to clarion contrarion before considering the use of vetos..

shepard for being a giant. and for being one concussion away from doing a jordan (reed).

i really don't rate ross, but if the bengals get better (they sure as bleep won't get worse...) i think you can fool someone into buying him during the off season.

yikes. might be too late now but in the future, trade before you get in this spot. I went Diontae. he probably has more trade value than others but next year he is, what? 3rd or 4th option still? I think Ross has an easier path to consistent targets next year.

Agreed with this sentiment. Those are all good "end of roster" type players. I suppose it can be considered a good problem to have. If your league mates are paying attention, I assume whoever you drop will be picked up in short order. I don't have a strong opinion on which to drop, apologies.
"Marathon Square" - 16 team full PPR league with 24 player roster. Keep 16 per year indefinitely, draft 8. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Team DST
QB: Jordan Love, Deshaun Watson
RB: Travis Etienne, Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller, Jaleel McLaughlin, Sean Tucker, Deuce Vaughn
WR: A.J. Brown, Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins, Calvin Ridley, Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne, Tutu Atwell, Allen Lazard, Isaiah Hodgins, Justin Shorter
TE: T.J. Hockenson, Cole Kmet, Kylen Granson
K: Didn't make the playoffs in 2023 :cry: , and don't usually hold one in the offseason
Team DST: Cowboys, Lions

Picks:
2024: All my picks except 3rd rounder

Disclaimer: My one and only Championship in this league was way back in 2011. Therefore, take my replies with the appropriate grain of salt. :lol:

It's between Ross and Shepard for me due to their recurring injuries and not being able to stay on the field. Of those two I think Ross has more upside, so SS would be my drop.
10-team Superflex, 0.5 PPR, 15-man rosters, pseudo-dynasty
Keep any number of players (0-15), lose same number of draft picks

I agree & trust me, I was trying to make a trade up to the last minute, but I couldn’t draw any interest. It’s just not a great league for trades.

crazy, I'd probably give any 3rd for any of those guys. vote for deeper rosters in the offseason, good luck
