She has had stints with CNN Sports, the Atlanta Hawks and the Colorado Rockies. This article originally appeared in its full form on Ī proud alumna of the UGA Grady College of Journalism, Jennifer Eakins has been working in the sports industry for well over a decade. Writer’s Note: I mentioned hanging onto Allen Robinson until the trade deadline last week, so if he’s not dealt to another team, he is also droppable in all formats. However, if you don’t have that luxury, dropping him in favor of some guaranteed points is probably a good idea. spot, parking Ridley there is the perfect move to make until we know more about his absence. It’s fantastic to see him prioritizing himself and I hope this break, however long it is, is exactly what he needs to achieve personal happiness and fulfillment.Īs far as fantasy football goes, if your roster has an unused I.R. Ridley is stepping away from football for an undisclosed amount of time to focus on his mental health. Calvin Ridley, WR – Falcons (97% rostered on Yahoo) With just 5.2 half-PPR points per game in 2021, Anderson is doing your roster no favors at this point and he should be replaced with a WR who’s not only receiving the volume but is actually notching those receptions, too. Anderson is 199th in the NFL in catch percentage on the season with a brutal 36%, hauling in only 18 of the 50 targets he’s seen through eight contests. Robby Anderson has been left out of this column so far in 2021 due to his volume, but sometimes targets aren’t enough, especially when players aren’t catching the ball. Robby Anderson, WR – Panthers (53% rostered on Yahoo) We’re at the point in the fantasy season that unless you’ve only lost a few times, maximizing weekly output should be a priority instead of the what-ifs. set to return from PUP, Sermon has become nothing more than an injury stash. With JaMycal Hasty healthy and Jeff Wilson Jr. Trey Sermon, RB – 49ers (28% rostered on Yahoo)Įlijah Mitchell is about as clear of a lead back the 49ers can have at this point in the season, and Trey Sermon has now gone two straight weeks without a carry or target. There have to be better options at wideout on your waiver wires, like any of the returning Giants or the two guys I mentioned above. Chark may have meant more work for Shenault, but that does not appear to be happening, and the Jacksonville offense is just not very good. There was a brief moment where the loss of D.J. He has zero touchdowns on the year and has not reached 100 receiving yards once in seven contests. Shenault was fifth in targets on the Jaguars' offense in Week 8, behind Jamal Agnew, Dan Arnold, Carlos Hyde and Marvin Jones Jr. I already put Laviska Shenault on this list once this season and got plenty of flak for it, but apparently, I’m a glutton for punishment, so the second-year WR is here again.

If you’re in a position to do so, rid yourself of the weekly headache and swap Beckham out for a more involved wideout like DeVante Parker or Jamison Crowder. The 28-year-old has posted fewer than 28 yards in 4-of-6 games played in 2021 and is currently the WR78 in half-PPR points per tilt with a shocking 6.6. He does not seem to be a factor at all in the Browns’ passing game, despite being down in their contest on Sunday. While it may be tough to click that drop button for Odell Beckham Jr., or it may not, depending on how frustrated you are at this point, I think the time has come. Odell Beckham Jr., WR – Browns (74% rostered on Yahoo) If you’re looking for some players to stash for future use, I have you covered there as well. We should always be looking for roster improvements, so cutting players who aren’t producing is a necessary evil.
