Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?
DROP RECOMMENDATIONS
Droppable:
Zach Ertz was outsnapped by second-year Cardinals TE Trey McBride in Week 6 and played the same amount of snaps (35) as McBride in Week 7. Even if Kyler Murray takes the QB reins from Joshua Dobbs, Ertz isn’t going to be fantasy viable in a TE timeshare. Over his last two games, Ertz has 4-32-1 receiving on nine targets.
One of the hottest waiver pickups of Week 7, Zach Evans proved to be an FAAB-waster, playing behind Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman. A sixth-round rookie from Ole Miss, Evans didn’t play a single offensive snap against the Steelers on Sunday. He can go right back to the waiver wire.
On the verge of returning from a hamstring injury, Pat Freiermuth aggravated the injury in practice last week and is headed back to injured reserve. A decent tight end but not a prolific scorer, Freiermuth can be dropped.
With Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua taking up so my oxygen in the Rams’ passing game, there aren’t enough targets left to keep Tyler Higbee rosterable. He’s drawn only three targets in each of his last three games, putting up stat lines of 2-20-0, 2-18-0, and 1-7-0.
