Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

DROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Droppable:

• Curtis Samuel
• Deshaun Watson

Curtis Samuel got a snap increase for the Bills in Week 5 with WR Khalil Shakir sidelined by an ankle injury and had one catch for zero yards and a carry that lost a yard. Samuel hasn’t drawn more than four targets or accumulated more than 22 scrimmage yards in a game this season. Drop him.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said after the Browns’ unsightly 34-13 loss to the Commanders that he would not be making a QB change. But how much longer can Stefanski stick with the ineffective Watson, who’s averaging a paltry 4.9 yards per pass attempt and taking far too many sacks? Watson has favorable matchups against the Eagles and Bengals the next two weeks, but he also had a favorable matchup against the Commanders in Week 5 and could only generate 125 passing yards. Watson should no longer be rostered in 1QB leagues.

Droppable with a chance of regret:

• Romeo Doubs
• Taysom Hill
• Jauan Jennings

Wherefore art thou, Romeo Doubs? The Packers’ receiver was suspended for Green Bay’s Week 5 game in Los Angeles after a pair of unexcused absences from practice. Reports suggest Doubs is unhappy with his role in the offense — which is strange considering that he’s had no fewer than seven targets in either of the two games he’s played with QB Jordan Love this season. It’s possible Doubs and the Packers will reconcile this week. Still, Jayden Reed has become the main attraction among the Green Bay pass catchers, leaving Doubs as a supporting cast member. With all the target competition in Green Bay, it’s probably safe to throw Doubs overboard.

Taysom Hill is a useful if streaky tight end, but he missed Week 5 with fractured ribs and will probably miss at least a couple more games. With bye weeks putting stress on fantasy rosters, you might have no choice but to drop Hill in order to plug holes at other positions.

There just aren’t enough targets for Jauan Jennings when Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle are all healthy. Jennings drew four targets against the Cardinals in Week 5 and had one reception for 14 yards. Hang onto Jennings if your league has deep rosters. If benches are short, however, Jennings is a luxury you probably can’t afford.

Don’t drop yet:

• Travis Etienne
• Jerry Jeudy

Travis Etienne investors have to be concerned with the emergence of Tank Bigsby, who’s been the more productive of the two Jacksonville running backs this year. Bigsby had 13 carries for 101 yards and two TDs Sunday vs. the Colts, scoring from inside the 5-yard line and then housing a 65-yarder later in the game. Etienne, meanwhile, had six carries for 17 yards. Etienne’s pass-catching ability should help stave off a complete value collapse. He had 6-43-0 receiving Sunday on seven targets. But obviously, Etienne is no longer a must-start.

Jerry Jeudy piqued our interest with 18-197-1 on 30 targets over his first four games. But that interest dissipated after Jeudy failed to capitalize on a great Week 5 matchup against the Commanders. Jeudy had just one catch for 16 yards against Washington and had an egregious drop of what should have been a short TD catch. The only reason we’re not recommending that you drop Jeudy unconditionally is that a QB change from Deshaun Watson to ultra-aggressive downfield thrower Jameis Winston could invigorate the fantasy value of Browns receivers.
