HOPE SINKS
We all have them on our teams - that trendy sleeper who's just not getting
it done (Tavon Austin) or the proven real-game performer who's taking a step
back (Eli Manning).
Can't be too clingy in fantasy when you need to make way for emerging
players deserving of a shot or at least some bench speculation. Here are
some guys to consider dropping, with the usual caveat that you should factor
in your format (keepers? roster size?) and scoring system.
QB: Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco. Maybe you haven't dropped him and are
just using him as a matchup play. If so, ask yourself: Can't you do better
picking from available free agents each week? Among the passers who have
outscored Kaepernick this year in leagues that award 4 points for passing
touchdowns: Andy Dalton, Alex Smith and Russell Wilson.
RB: Montee Ball, Denver. Ball is still owned in more than 83 percent of ESPN
leagues. For all the talk of Denver's run game being a three-headed monster
with Moreno and Hillman, Moreno has twice as many carries as Ball, 80 to 43
. Ball has as many carries as Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
WR: Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City. It's hard to let go of Bowe - he's probably
Kansas City's best talent besides Charles. But he's caught one touchdown on
six targets in the red zone, and has only 35 targets overall this year,
fewer than Aaron Dobson, Golden Tate or Austin Pettis. It's painful, but don
't keep letting guys like Alshon Jeffery and Keenan Allen pass you by.
TE: Jared Cook, St. Louis. He has as many targets as Bowe. Joseph Fauria,
the touchdown-or-nothing dancing spectacle in Detroit who's far from
startable in fantasy, has 4 fewer points total than Cook for the season.
D/ST: Houston. It's not entirely this unit's fault, with the Texans offense
struggling so badly. But Houston's defense should not be owned in 94 percent
of leagues on ESPN. They're nothing more than an optimistic matchup play at
this point - and a cautionary anecdote about drafting defenses early. |
