Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

DROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Droppable:

• Mac Jones

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick benched Mac Jones late in the Patriots’ discouraging 10-6 loss to the Colts Sunday in Germany. Jones completed 15-of-20 passes for 170 yards with no touchdowns, one interception and five sacks. Bailey Zappe finished the game for New England and threw an interception of his own on the Patriots’ final possession. It’s unclear who’ll start at quarterback for the Pats in Week 11, but even if Belichick reinserts Jones, the risk of another benching would make him an unappealing option. Jones is averaging 11.8 fantasy points per game.

Droppable with a chance of regret:

• Justice Hill
• Quentin Johnston
• Miles Sanders

The Ravens have gone from a two-man backfield with Gus Edwards and Justice Hill to a messy three-man backfield with Edwards, Hill and speedy rookie Keaton Mitchell. In the Ravens’ loss to the Browns on Sunday, Edwards played 28 of Baltimore’s 54 offensive snaps, Hill played 14 and Mitchell 13. Mitchell has scored long touchdowns in each of his last two games, and his penchant for big plays could marginalize Hill even further. You probably won’t regret dropping Hill to make room for a player with greater potential.

Quentin Johnston scored his first NFL touchdown on Sunday, but he still hasn’t been able to carve out a meaningful role for himself even with Chargers WRs Mike Williams and Josh Palmer both hurt. Johnston had 4-34-1 on four targets against the Lions. WR Jaylen Guyton out-targeted Johnston 6-4 on Sunday – not an encouraging sign for QJ stakeholders hoping for a breakthrough. It seems unlikely we’ll see a breakthrough before the fantasy season ends a month and a half from now.

Miles Sanders‘ snap shares have been below 40% in three straight games, as he’s fallen behind Chuba Hubba on the Panthers’ depth chart. Sanders had just two carries and two targets last week in the Panthers’ Thursday-night loss to the Bears. It’s possible the Panthers recalibrate the division of labor in their backfield at some point, but even if they increase Sanders’ workload, the Carolina backfield just hasn’t generated much fantasy value this year.
