Fantasy Football Drop or Hold: Sam Howell, Keaontay Ingram, Anthony Richardson (Week 8)

Let’s take a look at players our analysts consider on the fringe as you weigh your waiver wire additions for the week. And here’s all of our fantasy football waiver wire advice for Week 8.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

DROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Droppable:

Sam Howell has now been sacked 40 times this season. Yes, 40 sacks in seven games. Howell has had flashes of brilliance as a passer, but you can’t take that many sacks if you want to remain an NFL starter. Not only was Howell sacked six times by the Giants on Sunday, but he had a ragged day as a passer, completing 22-of-42 throws for 248 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. He has a tough matchup coming up against the Eagles this week, so you can dump him in 1QB leagues.

After leading Arizona’s RBs in touches a week ago, Keaontay Ingram didn’t play a single offensive snap in Week 7. Woof.

Au revoir, Anthony Richardson. Take good care of that wounded shoulder. We’ll see you in 2024.
