I'm leading my 16 team points league at 10-2 and am tops on the season points ladder which (if I finish on top) will be worth some $$.
Problem is my squad's been ravaged with a storm of recent injuries: It began with my keeper Jonathan Isaac who i cannot drop, then down went Embiid, Holmes, Bogdan and Wendell Carter Jr. Given his 4-6 week timetable I'm considering dropping Carter who ranks 104 in our format in which 3 PT FGs are GOLD! (Carter ranks 94 over the past 30 days).
The challenge in this daily league is reaching our weekly max games limit. I had to stream a spot every day this week to get close to the max and it's a grind to find a good streamer every day. I wouldn't consider dumping Carter but a couple of intriguing players were dropped to the waiver wire this weekend: Dwight Powell, and Duncan Robinson. Powell and Robinson have averaged just under 30 fpg, while Carter was approaching 35.
Would you try to deal Carter? Hang on and take a few losses while he heals? Or try to replace him with Powell or Robinson? And which of those two do you prefer? Robinson's been better until the past few weeks when Powell has essentially matched Robinson's production.

Thanks so much guys for considering this,

And needless to say, our league has no IR spot.
12 teams H2H 11 cats and extra cat’s are FTM and FGM
I picked up Bruce Brown and now that he has that thumb issue and R Jackson coming back is he a ROS hold? I also have WCS. Do I replace both or just one for the following on the wire?
I have Bjelica, Justin Holiday,Gafford, E Payton, Osman and Duncan Robinson on the wire
Also, is the other Brown on Wizards a hold or drop now that Beal is back?
