Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

Droppable with a chance of regret

• Rashod Bateman
• Dalvin Cook
• Chig Okonkwo

Rashod Bateman has been working as the No. 3 receiver in Baltimore behind rookie Zay Flowers and veteran Odell Beckham. Bateman is also well behind TE Mark Andrews in the target pecking order, and now WR Nelson Agholor is starting to get involved. A first-round draft pick in 2021, Bateman just hasn’t been able to get any traction in Baltimore, due in large part to injuries. It’s possible he’ll still pan out, but if you need to drop someone, it won’t be all that painful to part ways with Bateman.

Once a fixture in the first round of fantasy drafts, Dalvin Cook is now a mere committee back. He’s splitting time with the younger and more talented Breece Hall, and Michael Carter joined the Jets’ backfield mix in Week 3. A committee back can have fantasy value in the right environment, but it will be hard for Cook to provide fantasy value with a part-time an offense being triggered by QB Zach Wilson.

Young TE Chig Okonkwo flashed intriguing potential last season as a rookie, but he hasn’t been drawing many targets in a run-heavy Titans offense that added WR DeAndre Hopkins in the offseason.
