Sharp take
Sharp SixBenchSix weeks minimum on a back who gave you 7.2 and 2.1 points in his two games. That is not an asset you protect through a bye-heavy stretch out of loyalty to a 73 ADP. He is rostered in every league, so the drop is a real decision, and in a 12-team Main Event the answer is that a startable bench body beats a stashed one. Cut him if your roster is tight. Hold only if you have a slot you genuinely do not need.
