What do I do? Please help. 0-5 team :(?

QB - Tom Brady/ Michael Vick (Depending on matchup)

RB - Frank Gore

RB - Knowsean Moreno

WR - Brandon Marshall

WR - Jordy Nelson

TE - Jordan Cameron

Flex - Josh Gordon

K - Matt Prater

D/ST - Chiefs

Bench - Bilal Powell

Bench - Giovani Bernard

Bench - Fred Jackson

Bench - Le'veon Bell

Bench - Danny Amendola

Bench - Brady/Vick

It's .5 PPR. I'm kind of considering trading one of my WR's to get a top RB but I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas?

    My question to you is who do you plan to get for one of your wideouts?

    I'd find a replacement for Michael Vick ASAP. He's likely going to be a Week 6 bench. If Terrell Pryor is available in the waiver wire, grab him. Him or Philip Rivers (doubt he's available).

    Tom Brady should be getting Rob Gronkowski back as a target in Week 6, but that doesn't guarantee that he'll be playing games like Peyton has so far this season. Gronk will likely have some cobwebs to brush off before he'll be effective (not like he wouldn't be a smart play if you could somehow acquire him).

    Now I'm a big fan of the Browns and what they've done this season, considering everyone considered them one of the worst teams in the league. Jordan Cameron and Josh Gordon is quite a receiving duo, but let's face it, under Brandon Weeden, they're just not as effective. Given that Gordon still had quite a good game this week, he could be one of the players you sell high for a 'top RB', whoever that may be. I think you could pick up an Arian Foster or Ray Rice for Gordon, but Rice may be harder considering his game this past week.

    A question I have to ask is why you're looking for a 'top RB' when you have plenty of potential on your bench? I'm not as sure about PPR leagues, but I have Bilal Powell in my league and he scores at least 10 points a game (standard). Not too shabby for a Jets' back. Not only that, you'll have Le'Veon Bell next week off the bye, Fred Jackson coming off a great game against Cleveland.. not to mention the one-two punch of Frank Gore and Knowshon Moreno. I'm honestly wondering how you're losing with your current team.. if anything, your QB situation is probably what's hurting you. You could let go of Fred Jackson and perhaps Giovanni Bernard for a solid QB1.. than simply drop Vick, as painful as that sounds.

    I have Rodgers/Rivers on my team and I elected to sit Rodgers for Rivers due to the match-ups. It was only a 7.5 point difference, but that's what sealed the deal for my win this week, so I'm happy I played Rivers.

    Anyway, best of luck with your team. Hope you bounce back.
