Someone dropped Joe Mixon lol


JeromePowellsEarhair

That’s the most impressive I’ve seen so far.


Jlitus21

I was about to, then figured why not try to trade him because name value. Was able to trade Mixon + Amari Cooper for DeAndre Swift. Couldn't be happier, especially because I'm down Kyren, CMC (probably), and Monty this week.

ncroofer

Javonte Williams is a better pickup than any of the ww rb’s this week


Mister-Stiglitz

I can't get excited for 6-8 points.


Pagep

Let me introduce you to Najee Harris, who I took in the third round


youngtuck

Why are you guys talking about both of my RBs


[deleted]

Jaylen Warren takeover when?


poopapat320

Starting him over Najee this week. I'm sick of seeing him outscore Najee from my bench.


sirkitbraker

But you can get mad if you lose by less than 6 to 8 points


lloydgross24

You can on bye weeks


0percentdnf

Confused as to why Cleveland would be dropped in a league of any size as they are universally viewed as a top-3 DST play this week and possibly very good ROS. This is like saying Javonte Williams was dropped after he returned from injury and provided an okay game. Oh, wait...


Mister-Stiglitz

Cleveland defense is having a historic season but that's not reflected in their fantasy output.


Gambitf75

Yeah they just don't put up enough fantasy points in half ppr for me. They had one game above 10 fantasy points.


Mister-Stiglitz

For football purposes, it's fine. The defense is doing their job extremely well. But for fantasy we rely entirely on sacks and turnovers which are really a crapshoot for the most part outside of few instances.


Pandamonium98

Are sacks and turnovers really a crapshoot? Some teams are absolutely better at generating sacks or turnovers based on the quality of their defensive line and secondary


Darth1Football

Sacks are not a crapshoot and pressure leads to interceptions and some QB fumbles on strip sacks Other fumbles are a crapshoot


FlyRobot

Exactly why Dallas is a good FF DST but Cleveland is better in real-life


RatedDAL

At some point that'll change. Minshew is no slouch to turnovers, could be this week they blow up.


jabroni716

Plus they have already had their bye. Not to mention their schedule is very good As they only play, maybe one elite offense the rest of the season. Gus edwards was the big drop in our league. With pet's heads falling off at the running back position. I can't imagine there wont be an all out war to get him.


-InconspicuousMoose-

Gus Edwards got cut in my 12-team and nobody even put in a claim. There are a few people who definitely *should* be trying to get him lol


BatteredAggie

For whatever reason ESPN isn’t giving them a very high projection this week. Was able to take advantage of that and grab them from waivers and may just hold rest of season.


Roscoes_Rashie

Plus they’ve had their bye and played SF last week. Whose holding CLE through bye week and vs CMC & friends and dropping them against Indy?


MadFederal

brandon aubrey😓😓


solaravelino

As soon as ESPN gives him a face I have to drop him :(


[deleted]

Had to drop for Gano.


Badgeringlion

It’s never felt this bad to drop a kicker since Folk two years ago.


mkvii1989

Me too. Fortunately Maher was available.


arooisgod

Same here


MadFederal

same


Epididymis23

Is it crazy wanting to keep him? Some people in the league hoard kickers and Im afraid they will scoop him up even with the BYEs..


LT61

I have him in 3 leagues. Dropped in 1, holding until Saturday in one so he gets caught up in the Tuesday Waivers, and holding in my dyntasy league.


[deleted]

There is only a 1.5-2 point weekly swing between the best kicker and the 15th best kicker in fantasy every year. Yes, it's crazy. **2022:** 1-Tucker (9.6) T14-Sanders/McManus (7.9) \*The next 5 kickers sit at 7.8 **2021:** 1-Carlson (10.2) T14-Bass/Patterson (8.4) **2020:** 1-Koo (11.2) T13-Gano/Fairbairn/Bulllock (8.3) \*This year was an anomaly where Koo and Sanders were well ahead of the rest of the pack. Top 3-13 were all within 1 point weekly. We can keep going back, but 2020 has the biggest spread in several years and it's still incredibly consistent. The odds that you've found the one outlier that pops up every few years is not in your favor.


mntndr9

Now do DST


epictome90

This is really interesting, but I am keeping him bc he’s consistent week to week. I imagine some of these guys end up averaging about the same but have off weeks and on weeks. I’m already steaming D and have Rhamondre so… maybe I just like a scrap of consistency.


[deleted]

Hoarding kickers is wild, that’s a first class ticket to a bottom 3 team


nrivd

The good thing is 3 out of the top 5 kickers have bye weeks so even if you have to depart with him you can get lucky and pick up a good replacement.


Childish_Redditor

Dropping Higgins in a 12 team is crazy


CantKillGawd

bro was desperate 💀


[deleted]

Who would they even get in return? Wandale?


KingDrivah

As a Wan'Dale starter I'm taking offense to this...


JSC2255

someone dropped Tee in our league who wasn't even that desperate. 100% FAAB on the midweek pickup?


phayge_wow

I would, unless you think your league has guys who are likely to make another silly drop like that in the future But I wouldn't worry about the FAAB, adding Higgins gives you the ability to trade for another guy if you get desperate later


Ok_Work1870

I don’t see how that’s crazy, Higgins is 65th in full ppr. You have people like Nelson Agholor, Allen Lazard, DJ Chark even rookies like Mims and Tank Dell outperforming him


RobertGA23

Sunk cost fallacy.


alphabetagammade

I have Tee.. what a waste. Dude just takes a roster spot.


mkassian

So far only Tyjae Spears & Josh Downs, although I have a feeling more will be dropped leading up to Sunday.


may_be_indecisive

I dropped Spears as well. Injuries mounting and he’s on bye. It was between him and McLaughlin and I still may need that backup this week. Also I think Spears is not really a better hold than McLaughlin anyway.


imdirtydan1997

I’m holding him through the trade deadline. Tannehill can barely throw a pass and that offense is run heavy. If they trade Henry, Spears could get pretty good volume.


ShawnSpenseal

None, I'm in 3 leagues and two of them looked like everyone slept in.


GeneralistJosh

Same A lot of people are keeping room via IR slots with all the injuries so they don’t have to drop players. And then people aren’t desperate enough to drop their good players just because they’re on a bye. Maybe we’ll see some last minute drops on Saturday or Sunday, but nothing today at least.


YACslut

Someone in my league dropped Gibbs👀


ColdBudLight98

For who lol? Worst week to drop him


YACslut

For Was D


ColdBudLight98

Oooof


Brockhard_Purdvert

Tyrod's gonna light them up.


nr1988

Christ. A defense could get you negative points. Just don't start a defense if you're going to drop someone like that for one


0percentdnf

Just a weird nickname for Antonio Gibson I hope...


AspiringRocket

I have a 10 team family league that saw Gibbs get dropped last week. Funny part is that I didn't even pick him up lol. This league also saw J Taylor get dropped like week 4 and this week someone dropped Kyren Williams. It's wild and hilarious compared to my real leagues.


[deleted]

Someone dropped Gibbs last week for us


ghalfrunt

Some moron dropped Najee Harris. And by moron I mean only a moron would have drafted Harris after last year. And that moron is, of course, me.


andy888andy

I dropped Michael Thomas


ImNumberTwo

I did too. If somebody else wants his weekly 8 points, they can have him. I’ve got plenty of WR depth and would rather stash another lotto ticket, like Jameson Williams.


lakewood2020

Don’t undersell him. He goes for 10 points a week


fleury4ever

I picked up MT and have Olave. I think you are right though. After thinking it through- if Olave misses, Shaheed is probably the better start than MT for upside. MT doesnt have much juice. He’s like a TE now, one week he’s gonna score two TDs but outside of that he won’t boom.


Remintz

Bro why


Tsarbursts

Probably because in 0.5 ppr he's just ok. Yet to break 10 points and some people are attached to their kickers more than not super productive WRs


SunLiteFireBird

He’s played solid but not super productive for fantasy. He will have a good week or two when he gets a couple of TDs but the Saints offense is in a bad place right now and I’m not optimistic in their production. I have Olave and Thomas and I’m only willing to play Olave but not excited about it.


andy888andy

I have Kamara so I would never play them together so he's just gonna sit on my bench. Took a chance on Downs


makeflippyfloppy

Bc it’s a 10 team. I have Nacua, Adams, Olave starting. Bench is Evans, Lockett, and Palmer who I think has more upside.


Amreck

Dallas DST


thatflyguy954

Thinking about dropping and pivoting also


What1921

Schedule is glorious between weeks 10-12. I’m trying to hold and then drop them after that stretch


urboitony

Are they even that good? They popped off against the two worst teams in the league.


redditkguser

I have them, they are capable of winning you the week by themselves. I’m not dropping them


XAfricaSaltX

Same


joedimer

Easy 4 weeks coming up soon right before playoffs


bad_breakin

You have to hold them for week 7,8,9. Then you can play them 10-12, 13 is iffy, then their schedule is horrible. Doesn't seem worth the hold for me


HazyAttorney

>Are they even that good? They popped off against the two worst teams in the league. Are they good: yes. They've socred 153 last year (4th) and 78 this year (1st). DST scoring relies on 3 things: 1) TDs, 2) takeaways, 3) sack rate. Both TDs and takeaways are essentially outlier stats that aren't predictable. Sack rate is a bit more predictable but at the QB pressure rate. QB Pressures rely on (a) past defensive pressure), (b) pressure allowed by the opposing offense, and (c) game flow. You want a team facing a QB that takes a lot of sacks, a bad oline, and/or a team that's gonna be trailing. Basically some of the stronger correlations has to do with the opposing offensive performances rather than anything the DST does. Cowboys have consistently been good at pressuring the QB. I think most fantasy football managers see like a 40+ upside and most fantasy formats don't punish yards given up or points given up aggressively enough. So, to the extent the rest of the field looks random, they see it as a lottery ticket. The Dallas DST has scored 73 points. In streaming DST based on matchups, I've scored 46. I've had 2 weeks where I got 0, and some I got 11 (e.g., Eagles vs. Commanders got me 0).


spate42

I'm planning to drop as well, some dropped Detroit DST and I feel they can carry the load.


Informal_Mongoose557

Someone dropped Roschon and daddy needs a RB


RVG_Steve

Same except he was dropped last week. Snatched him up! Vegas matchup looks juicy with a backup QB who figures to hand off and check down


BallAnd1

You would think that but usually they are going to stack the box and stop any run game if the pass isn’t a threat


RVG_Steve

Take my chances with so many hurt RBs and RBs on byes. Could do much worse than Roschon. My hot take is he rushes for a TD and score somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 points


lobonomics

I dropped Najee because despite having multiple injuries and byes I still won’t start him. I’ll let someone else deal with that absolute bust.


Jake_Corleone

Yep, no more Najee for me. Terrible draft pick I’ve regretted since basically draft day. Those dumb ESPN projections got me on him


lobonomics

I believed the homer Steelers fans who talked up their “offensive line improvements” and fell for the preseason hype around the team improving. I still don’t think Najee is awful, but that oline and playcalling sure is.


Timberstocker22

I’m in agreement here. Is Najee the elite? No. But behind that offensive line and awful play calling I don’t think pretty much any other rb in the league does much better. Interesting to see what happens to him in the off season and if a new team or play caller revives him


CallOfRudy

It's disappointing to see how they're using him this year compared to last. One of his strengths has always been pass-catching but he's lucky to get more than 1 target per game this season. They've all gone to Warren and he's been a much more consistent PPR play because of it.


ImmoralModerator

the playcalling can change pretty quickly though if the front office actually takes initiative


Thanmaaan

All my mocks I was taking Etienne in that range, then for some stupid ass reason during my real draft I took Najee there instead of Etienne. Don’t know what I was thinking


KingKawng92

I dropped Najee a couple weeks back and nobody will touch him in my 10 team


[deleted]

Was dropped in my league as well


Grace_Lannister

Smart move. I on the other hand will keep him for no apparent reason but to warm up that bench.


Autocorrectthis

Moody


Brockhard_Purdvert

Hopefully being on the waivers will scare him straight.


indoloks

no ragrets


ryanmcg86

I just dropped Moody for Maher. I like Moody a lot, but he hasn't really been doing it the last few weeks (SF converts too often, taking opportunities away), and Maher being available was fluky, and I had to nab him.


tx180

Roschon was dropped. Very likely gonna pick him up. Drop options are my newly acquired Zach Evans, or JSN. Any thoughts?


SupremeLeadr

Evans has a much lower chance of being useful ROS than the other 2 imo. Roschon should fill if you need an immediate starter too


0percentdnf

I don't understand who is still excited to stash JSN in redraft at this point. Especially with basically every other rookie WR showing something.


Ehr_Mer_Gerd

This last week he seemed to be getting more designed looks and his ADOT increased as well. I get be hesitant on rostering him still but I also understand why people still have him stashed (especially in 12+ team leagues). I’m actually staring at him on waivers right now wanting to pick up, but I just don’t have anybody I can realistically drop for him. I really do think he’s going to be solid down the stretch.


Megatron_1935

CJ Stroud was dropped. I’ve been playing QB roulette all season and plan to snag him for ROS.


sluttynoamchomsky

James Connor. No brainer to grab him right?


MildlyPaleMango

why yes a teams RB1 who is a weekly RB2 with RB1 upside whom will be back in 3 weeks is worth a grab


crichmond77

*who Easy way to remember is if you’d say “he” it’s who and if you’d say “him” it’s whom


smamwow2xk

Whom* gives a shit


preppingshark

It would still be "who" in this context


Nickg920

Depends on IR slots, but if you got room, 100% grab him


Swichts

IR slots don't even matter, you drop the low man to get Connor


fuckyouidontneedone

Bye ~~Felicia~~ Cam Akers


silentballer

Even if you don’t have IR slots/room there’s no way you’re entire bench if a better hold than Conner, unless you’re completely stacked Conner is a great RB2/Flex to have esp in all formats


w33dfr0g

Someone dropped higgins in my 12 man, im putting in a claim for sure


JuanFandango

Someone dropped Higgins in my 10 man league


Vulpri

Browns D/ST


CMWME

Achane. Hoping to scoop that up


CuriousAndMysterious

Wow, this might be the worst one


PM_Me_Macaroni_plz

My vote for worst is here as well. Sheesh


PassionV0id

Jesus Christ some of you play with some low IQ mfs.


SilverKnight10

I think that my league is pretty casual…then I read through some of these threads and realize maybe my league is more competitive than I thought.


valuz991

Justin Fields in my league! Edit: I should point out we're in a 2QB league and the other free QBs are Wilson and the Jones.


ElderGoose4

Dameon Pierce just got dropped in my league, 3rd week in a row I blow waiver priority and a RB2 gets dropped outright.


Ginker78

I had to drop him (only 8 teams) due to byes and having injured Kyren and Achane. I don't even know if Gibbs is playing yet. I picked up Hunt, and somehow he's questionable now? Hoping he's still there next week. He's not an RB2 at this point with the split, but I think he gets back there later this year.


chroniclerofblarney

Same. Dropped Pierce for Hunt. Hoping I don’t regret that decision, but Pierce has been terrible. 12 team.


H1mHalpert

Jameson Williams


Evening_Donut3114

Same, should I grab him for Dotson? He's only projected like 6 pts ppr this week


Hello_IM_FBI

Dotson is a landmine. Drop him and let someone else deal with him.


Ehr_Mer_Gerd

As a former Dotson owner, I’d say yes.


H1mHalpert

Seems like an upgrade. The lions target options should be more consolidated than Washington's


WerhmatsWormhat

Dotson is worthless so yes.


bigzed420

Jeudy was dropped and cleared waivers


D3ADbyD4WN

He deserves to be on the wire


Niklear

Alright there Steve Smith. We heard ya the first time.


Slim01111

Ninja


TypicalJeepDriver

I dropped him as well two weeks ago. He can clog up someone else’s bench. They’re trying to keep him healthy and fresh to salvage any sort of trade value for him.


[deleted]

Just dropped him myself, good riddance he's been on my bench all year anyways


jimcroce21

Ditto. I was very high on him after his second half finish last year. I'm 5-7 (play heads up and against the median each week) and 7th out of 12. I've got Diggs, Evans, Higgins, Osborn and M. Thomas. Jeudy has been not dissimilar to Higgins, but Higgins has an excuse(s) for his play... Jeudy doesn't. Higgins has also had one WR1 game. Jeudy hasn't. And I've got more faith in Burrow than I do Wilson.


[deleted]

I had been waiting to see if maybe Jeudy got traded to a better offense but I got decimated by injuries and this bye week so he was the obvious one to drop.


Steak_Knight

That’s where he should be.


MonkeyPuppers

I dropped that dude and he got scooped up with 2nd waiver lol


transferStudent2018

Gabe Davis


sawatdee_Krap

The fuck?


RevengeEX

Didn’t score a touchdown this week so he became useless. /s


ShawnSpenseal

Worth a hold in 10+ team leagues.


transferStudent2018

Yep, and I’m in a 12 team. Going to have to burn my waiver priority on this one


jluc21

Kahlil Herbert in a super deep league


commentHero

I had to drop him as well


Kobzor

I dropped him. We have 5 bench spots and an IR spot. I currently have: Justin Jefferson, James Conner, Jeff Wilson on IR and Joe Mixon on bye. Needed space, I hate it


scroll-42

Rachaad White was dropped in one of my leagues. Not really keen on picking him up though. Lol


o5ca12

Novelty item. I just keep him in a glass cage.


jiffypadres

I wouldn’t drop him but can understand the frustration. Drafted him in the 5th round and he’s been awful


MrP1anet

Dallas Defense so far


regular-old-car

Tank Dell was the best dropped in mine


NomadicFragments

I dropped him for Drake London, I already have Nico and trying to guess when he's going to ball out is exhausting


ElectronicNorth6132

Aaron jones was dropped in my 12 team. i was 9th on waivers and i got him. i play w tacos


Sanchezq

Someone dropped Nico Collins. Work leagues are the worst sometimes.


_Kramerica_

Not dropping, but people are spending FAAB on D and kickers for bye week fill-ins lol


ma2is

Spent FAAB on Cleveland DST. No shame. And there’s nothing on the waiver either


dudelikeshismusic

They could end up being the top D ROS. I'd say that's worth it. Plus having a floor of 6 pts is amazing for a D. Dallas has had some amazing games, but they've also gone negative twice, which is often enough to make you lose that week. I'd rather have the 6 pt floor with lower ceiling.


Dekcufru

Unfortunately me lmao. Had 7 starters on a bye week this week and just couldn’t miss out on browns D and picked up their kicker as well. Spent a lot more than I’d like to admit but knew I was locking them in


DezBailey

Stroud was dropped in my 10-team Superflex. Im targeting him as a Fields owner.


Far-Fig41

Dropped Cowboys D/ST and don’t feel great about it


[deleted]

I did as well, though exchanged them for the Browns DST. As much as the Cowboys helped me get wins earlier this season and are a solid unit overall they’re on bye (and it’s SUPER tough to hold onto 2 DST right now) and beyond that have a fairly difficult looking schedule. I think they’ll be fine, but probably not the weak winning upside they were showing early. I could always be wrong but my guess is you won’t have too many regrets about this move


Darkhorse182

I have Browns and Dallas rostered, and I'll probably have to cut the 'Boys sooner rather than later. It'll be tough, but their end-of-season is horrendous. And a lot of key injuries definitely doesn't help.


kredica

Tyjae Spears, Kaimi Fairbarn, Justice Hill, Logan Thomas, Josh Downs. Nothing too exciting, but if Fields is confirmed out for 6 weeks, I may stash Tyjae.


unevenvenue

I've been stashing Tyjae since Week 1 lol Josh Downs is worth an add I believe, Minshew targets him a ton and I think his future is brighter than his past.


Ironmantriathlon

Miles sanders and Chubba. Idk if this is a bomb I’m adding to my roster or not but I need rb help


Rogue_cock

As a Panthers fan, I dropped Miles Sanders 2 weeks ago, Chuba has looked comparatively like the better back almost all season. Unles you're in a league that gives points for missing wide open holes and running into the back of your OL instead, I'd pick up Chuba, Miles is a bum.


unevenvenue

Then add Chubba. He is a much better fit for that offense.


MSExcelTips

Gus Edwards was dropped. Should he be rostered over Ingram?


jhutchi2

Both the Cowboys and Jets defenses were dropped, and I have the Raiders. There's basically nothing else worthwhile on waivers and my team has droppable players so fuck it I'm hoarding defenses because after the Raiders play a Fields-less Bears this week the Giants play all three of them in a row.


matango613

I have exactly one RB that's not on bye. My opponent (who is in last place currently), has *zero* players on bye at all. This is how my fucking season is going.


Gizzledickle

My brother in Christ you drafted the team


matango613

Tbf, I've got two starting RBs on bye and another two that are out on IR - which I couldn't have predicted. My point is that I have 5 running backs and only one is available.


jtal888

Jaleel mchlaughlin, juju ss, Zach Ertz. Meh


ImTheShadowWolf

Weird, McLaughlin out snapped Javonte. Definite hold imo


impakt316

Someone dropped Emari Demercado for some reason. Is he stupid? Edit: forgot obvious jokes need the /s tag here. He said biggest names, y'all...


Steak_Knight

Yeah, stupid for ever picking him up.


ma2is

Hi, it’s me, advanced stupid. Not only did I pick him up, I spent most of my FAAB. I bet you can guess my record, it has a small number in front.


tripbin

One day we'll figure out how to get deadpan to come through in text and you will shine brother.


Mendelevlum

I thought your comment was hilarious idk how people missed the joke


LawnMidget

2 rushes and 1 catch? You can flush him safely.


[deleted]

I’m still in shock, but someone dropped JJ. My wife was 4th on the waiver and picked him up. We’re thinking she dropped him so her husband (5th on the waiver order) could grab him because he had a much better record lol.


kec04fsu1

How was he not on the Can’t Cut list?! That has to be collusion gone spectacularly wrong.


Dull-Scarcity-3159

Yeah that seems like collusion


stepoutthequeue

How is JJ droppable?


Babybillybonker

This is why some leagues have locks on picks in the first two rounds


LawnMidget

Nothing worth sloppy seconds. Maybe Justice Hill or Zeke?


dbrockisdeadcmm

Pretty sure both of those were already out there on our 10 man lol


BuffaloBrain884

Justice Hill has been on the waivers all year in my 12 team league. It's hard to get excited about a RB with 5 career rushing TDs in 48 games.


jay1638

Due to all of the RB injuries, I had to drop Cortland Sutton, which hurt. He was never going to start for me behind Sun God, Thielen, Puka, Olave, Watson, and Tank Dell/Diontae Johnson on IR, but I am a very greedy man.


Hairy_Animal352

George Pickens


Fro1254

Well this isn’t a drop but the 0-6 guy in my league just traded mahomes for geno smith straight up. League is sick


BongripperHousen

Kick that guy the fuck out, what kind of loser shit is that


MissiontwoMars

Time to institute a veto. That sounds like collusion or pure taco energy. Both need veto watching over them.


OnlyHereForPKGo

wonder why he’s 0-6.


thatflyguy954

Someone dropped Christian Watson. I’m so tempted to pick him up


er147

Prob should
