Who to drop- Murray or Brown? (1 Viewer)

I don’t have a kicker currently, so I need to drop someone for a kicker. My team is desperate for RBs, so I was originally thinking of dropping Jaron Brown. But he seems like one of the better insurance WRs available compared to the FA pool. I don’t need to play him because my other WRs are stacked(Evans, Bryant, Sanders), but if I drop him, I’m banking on the fact that none of my other WRs get injured. If I were to keep Brown, I was thinking of dropping Latavius Murray. I have McKinnon and it seems like he’s going to be the better back to own. But should I still hold on to Murray just in case he turns it around? Here’s my full team for more perspective (or in case someone else should be dropped instead of these two):

QB: Carr, Roethlisberger

RB: Ellington, McKinnon, Gore, Riddick, Murray, Cohen, Henry

WR: Evans, Bryant, Sanders, Brown

TE: ASJ, Olsen

PPR league. Start QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, TE, W/R

I would always keep the RB through the bye weeks. Murray isn't going to be phased out of the offense. 

Drop Brown.  If McKinnon gets hurt, Murray is the guy in Minnesota.  It may not be an exciting choice to make, but like you said, your running backs aren't the best.

I’d hold onto Murray to see exactly what Minnesota is thinking about their backfield...McKinnon looked great last week vs Chicago, but it was against Chicago’s 3rd string lb’s. Wouldn’t be shocked if the Minnesota backfield ended up as more of a timeshare than people are thinking it will be

Drop Brown.  Like you said your WRs are good, and Murray will carry some value, and could always gain more where the Arizona WR game is a dart throw anyway

You're so deep at RB and I bet you could get Murray back next week for cheap as I don't think he'll go nuts against GB. The only reason I wouldn't drop Brown is how thin you are at the position.

I would keep Murray just to see how things shake out. If John Brown manages to stay healthy, Jaron will be at least 4th on the pecking order. Ellington will be ahead of him as well. Please see mine:

I keep Latavius as well because you are desperate at RB. You can always get another wr flyer pretty easily 

Drop Brown.  McKinnon isn't exactly a given, at this point.  I also tend to think, there's usually a few "Browns" floating around on the WW.
