Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

DROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Droppable with a chance of regret:

• Latavius Murray
• Michael Thomas
• Darren Waller

The arrival of Leonard Fournette in Buffalo most likely portends the end of 33-year-old Latavius Murray‘s fantasy relevance.

Michael Thomas might be considered a mildly surprising entry in this section. It’s not a knee-jerk reaction to the Week 9 shutout that Thomas had (one target, zero catches). It’s more about Thomas not showing us much of a ceiling halfway through the regular season. Until he was blanked on Sunday, Thomas had produced at least 42 receiving yards in every game this year. But he hasn’t exceeded 68 receiving yards in any game, and he’s scored only one touchdown. He was the WR41 in half-point PPR scoring going into Week 9. In smaller leagues, Thomas probably isn’t worth holding.

Darren Waller has been placed on injured reserve, so he’ll miss at least four weeks. He hasn’t done enough this season to suggest that he’s worth holding through a month-long injury. Plus, when he eventually comes back, he won’t have Daniel Jones as his quarterback. It’s possible that Waller turns in a good game or two late in the regular season, but it’s time to move on.

Don’t drop yet:

• Zay Flowers

We probably don’t need to tell you not to drop the fleet-footed rookie receiver. But some managers get impatient with players after a couple of disappointing games, and Flowers has had just 30 receiving yards over his last two games. Don’t get rid of a talented young player who’s on an 85-catch pace and is just getting warmed up.
