Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

Droppable

Rashod Bateman was on the “droppable with a chance of regret” list last week, but now he’s a full-fledged droppable. In Week 3, Bateman drew only three targets in a game that Odell Beckham Jr. missed. Bateman had only a 6-yard catch, and he played fewer snaps than both Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor.

Ty Chandler hasn’t been getting many snaps behind Vikings RB Alexander Mattison, and the arrival of Cam Akers in a trade this week casts Chandler’s role further into doubt.

Droppable with a chance of regret

Tyler Boyd is only rosterable with a healthy Joe Burrow quarterbacking the Bengals. Burrow isn’t healthy. Even when Burrow is completely fit, Boyd is only startable in the deepest of leagues when Bengals WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are both healthy. There’s not much point in rostering Boyd until the Bengals’ offense starts roaring again.

Don’t drop yet

The Titans’ dysfunctional passing game might not be healthy enough to prop up the fantasy value of both DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. Hopkins is the alpha, of course, and Burks isn’t startable at the moment. Still, hang onto the talented second-year receiver a bit longer to see if circumstances change.
