Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Tutu Atwell, Jahan Dotson, Anthony Richardson (Week 7)

Let’s take a look at players our analysts consider on the fringe as you weigh your waiver wire additions for the week. And check out all of our fantasy football waiver wire advice for Week 7.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

DROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Droppable with a chance of regret:

Since Cooper Kupp returned in Week 5, Tutu Atwell has had 3-39-1 on six targets. Kupp is such a prolific target hog that he’s squeezed the fantasy viability out of poor Atwell. The diminutive Atwell will still pop some big plays here and there, but you won;t ever feel comfortable starting him.

Jahan Dotson‘s disappointing season hit a new low in Week 6 when the second-year receiver drew one target and had no receptions. Dotson hasn’t topped 40 yards all season. Commanders QB Sam Howell has been spreading the ball around, and the only receiver consistently drawing targets is Terry McLaurin. Dotson showed us last year that he’s talented, but he and Howell don’t seem to have much chemistry – at least not yet.

Anthony Richardson may need season-ending surgery to repair his injured shoulder. It would be a shame if we didn’t get to see more of the Colts’ electrifying rookie this year. Even if Richardson were able to come back later this year, it would probably be at least 6-7 weeks from now, and then you’d probably need to get a “show me” game from him before plugging him back into your lineup. In a 1QB league, you’re better off using that roster spot in some other way.
