Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

Droppable with a chance of regret:

• Elijah Moore
• Miles Sanders

Elijah Moore hasn’t provided 60 receiving yards in any game this season, and he has zero touchdowns. It’s too early to give up on Moore in dynasty leagues, but you can probably move on in redraft leagues. There just haven’t been many signs that a 2023 breakout is nigh.

Miles Sanders was out-snapped by Chuba Hubbard 45-12 on Sunday and out-touched 17-2. Sanders was RB17 in PPR fantasy scoring through the first three weeks of the season, but his fantasy relevance has gone up in a puff of smoke.

Don’t drop yet:

• Dalvin Cook
• Jonnu Smith

The few fantasy managers still hanging on to Dalvin Cook should continue to keep him around until Tuesday’s trading deadline has passed. It’s possible Cook could be dealt to a team that needs backfield help.

Jonnu Smith had a 13-yard catch Sunday on his only target of the game. Smith has only seen four targets in his last two games after averaging 6.4 targets, 5.0 receptions and 56.4 receiving yards over a five-game stretch from Week 2 to Week 6. If you can’t afford to carry a second tight end, feel free to cut Smith loose. Just realize he has a pretty decent matchup against the Vikings this week.
