Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

DROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Droppable with a chance of regret:

• Jahan Dotson
• Antonio Gibson
• Quentin Johnston

Jahan Dotson flashed big-time talent last year, but he and Commanders QB Sam Howell don-t seem to have much chemistry – at least not yet. Dotson has a modest 16.1% target share, and his 43-yard game in Week 7 was actually a season high. A first-round pick in 2022, Dotson can’t be written off yet, but it’s no longer worth holding him and waiting for something good to happen.

Antonio Gibson has been frozen out of the Commanders’ running game. He’s averaging 2.6 carries a game, and only once this season has Gibson had more than three rushing attempts. Rookie Chris Rodriguez has outcarried Gibson 11-5 over the last two weeks. That would be OK if Gibson were getting heavy usage in the passing game, but he’s averaging 2.7 targets a game. With Rodriguez around, we can’t even be sure that Gibson is the handcuff for starter Brian Robinson.

Rookie Quentin Johnston has not been able to establish himself as a reliable contributor to the Chargers’ passing game despite the season-ending injury to WR Mike Williams. In the three game since Williams went down, Johnston has 2-38-0 on seven targets. Johnston’s impressive college career at TCU made him a first-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft, but it doesn’t seem as if Johnston is going to become a useful fantasy contributor in Year 1.
