Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?
DROP RECOMMENDATIONS
Droppable
Over his last two games, Mac Jones has completed 55.8% of his passes and averaged 6.0 yards per attempt with zero touchdowns, four interceptions and two lost fumbles. Even though he has a decent matchup against the Raiders this week, Jones is too risky to trust as a streamer because Bill Belichick could pull him if he gets off to a poor start and replace him with Bailey Zappe.
Droppable with a chance of regret
Joshua Kelley didn’t distinguish himself while Austin Ekeler was out with a high-ankle sprain. Ekeler is expected back in Week 6, so it’s fine to ditch Kelley.
Don’t drop yet
A lot of people eagerly scooped up Michael Wilson after his 7-76-2 performance in Week 4. He followed it up with a 1-18-0 clunker in Week 5. Don’t give up on your bench stashes after one bad game.
