Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?
DROP RECOMMENDATIONS
Droppable:
K.J. Osborn missed Week 9 after sustaining a concussion in Week 9. He cleared concussion protocol last week, but the Vikings held him out anyway. The recommendation to drop Osborn isn’t injury-related, though. Justin Jefferson should be back from a hamstring injury soon, and TE T.J. Hockenson and rookie WR Jordan Addison have been drawing ample targets. There just aren’t enough targets left to keep Osborn rosterable.
Don’t drop yet:
The roller-coaster season continues for Jahan Dotson. The Commanders’ second-year receiver had 43 or fewer receiving yards in each of his first seven games. In Weeks 8-9, he had 12-177-2 on 18 targets and was WR4 in fantasy scoring (0.5 PPR) over that span. But Dotson went cold again in Week 10, with two targets and zero catches against Seattle. Dotson played more snaps and ran more routes than any other Washington receiver, so it’s not as if his role was being reduced. It’s fine if you don’t want to start Dotson in Week 11, but don’t cut him yet.
The frustration of Calvin Ridley investors is palpable. A consensus top-20 receiver during fantasy draft season, Ridley entered Week 9 as the WR39 in fantasy scoring and had 2-20-0 on three targets against the 49ers in Week 10. Ridley hasn’t strung together two good games all season. But Ridley has fared better when Jaguars WR Zay Jones has played. Jones has been dealing with a knee injury but could be back in Week 11. Hang onto Ridley and see if Jones’ return gives Ridley’s fantasy stock a needed boost.
Christian Watson has produced 37 or fewer receiving yards in five of his six games this season. He had 2-23-0 against the Steelers on Sunday, but he drew a team-high seven targets. Watson is an uber-talented young receiver, and we remain convinced that he’ll perk up eventually.
