Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

DROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Droppable:

Tyler Boyd is a third wheel in the Cincinnati offense when WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are both healthy. But the real reason Boyd is droppable is QB-related (see below).

Rams RB Kyren Williams is expected to come off injured reserve this week. Before he went down with an ankle injury, Williams had been getting the vast majority of offensive snaps and touches in the Rams’ backfield. Henderson with an ankle injury, Williams was dominating snaps and touches in the Rams’ backfield. That will most likely be the case upon his return, rendering Darrell Henderson irrelevant for fantasy purposes. Henderson has been sharing backfield work with Royce Freeman in Williams’ absence. Henderson has been more fantasy-viable than Freeman, but with Henderson averaging just 2.4 yards per carry over his four games as the lead back, the Rams will be delighted to have Williams return.

Justice Hill has given way to speedy youngster Keaton Mitchell and is now a distant third in the Baltimore backfield. As long as Mitchell and Gus Edwards are healthy, Hill isn’t rosterable in fantasy leagues.
