Drop DeMarcus Robinson or Mecole Hardman to pick up Malcolm Brown?

Question

I drafted Gurley and took Darrell Henderson late, thinking he would be the primary handcuff.  I just got Hardman and Robinson off waivers, but noticed that the Malcolm Brown owner dropped him this week because he's iffy with an ankle injury.

Should I drop one of the KC receivers to lock up the entire Rams backfield and insure myself against injury or workload changes?  If so which one?

Or should I drop Henderson? I'm m less keen on that idea since I figure if Gurley gets hurt or they shut him down late in the season, it will be a timeshare.

Golladay, Ridley DeSean Jackson and AJ Green are my other WRs.  My other RBs are Kerryon Johnson and Ty Johnson.

Yikes.  Your RB corps is at defcon 2!   You have Gurley and Kerryon and then nothing else but their back ups.  What you want to remember is most backups are not handcuffs.  You want someone who will step in and be "the guy", like Pollard for Zeke.  Or Murray for Kamara. Ty might make sense, but the last thing you want is more Rams RBs.

If I were you, I'd send a msg or use msg board and say you'll give up either Robinson or Hardman for a startable RB.   I did this in one league and  got 3 offers.  You won't get a top 10 or anything, but you can't go thru the season with this current group.

If you want Brown drop Henderson, the two receivers are more useful on your team.

If you think it's going to be a timeshare between Brown and Henderson if Gurley gets hurt, then why would you want either one?
Jackson and Green are hurting, so you need the WR depth.

I'd rather have Brown than Henderson right now.
