10 Players You Can Drop Now

If it’s time to make a trade or grab some players off waivers, you’re going to need to drop a player or two from your roster. Here are 10 players you can drop today and not look back:

1. Jayden Reed - WR, GB

   • He’s way too highly rostered. If you need the room and you have someone else you can add to your IR spot, there’s no reason to keep him. You’re still going to have to wait 6+ weeks before you can even think about putting him in your lineup, and even then, he won’t even be a full-time receiver given his slot role. Drop em.

2. Marvin Mims - WR, DEN

   • Mims had like one good game this year, but he’s not a full-time player. Troy Franklin is the clear #2 option behind Courtland Sutton right now, and even Engram is starting to get in the mix. Drop em.

3. Kaleb Johnson - RB, PIT

   • Why is he still so highly rostered? He had his opportunity in Week 4 without Jaylen Warren and hardly saw any work. Don’t clog your roster - stash a real handcuff instead - drop 'em.

4. Braelon Allen - RB, NYJ

   • Allen will be out for 8-12 weeks. Isaiah Davis is now the new Breece Hall handcuff to roster - drop Braelon Allen.

5. Justice Hill - RB, BAL

   • The Ravens might be in a negative game script this week against the Rams, so if you don’t plan on playing Hill, drop him - they have the bye the following week, and Lamar will be back in Week 8. His production is all over the place, and he’s not even in the handcuff to Derrick Henry - Keaton Mitchell is. Drop em.

6. Jerry Jeudy - WR, CLE

   • This one’s tough because he’s been seeing the targets. But he’s averaging only 3 catches per game, it doesn’t look like it’s going to get much better with Dillon Gabriel, and Isaiah Bond is the WR this offense is trying to get the ball to. Drop em. If you have to.

7. Chris Rodriguez - RB, WAS

   • Bill is the guy in Washington - the only name you need to know. Drop Chris Rodriguez if you have em.

8. Malik Washington - WR, MIA

   • With Tyreek Hill out, it was Jaylen Waddle and Evan Engram leading the way. There might be room for a third pass catcher, but it won’t be consistent. Washington serves as a handcuff-type to either guy, but perfectly fine moving on if you need the room.

9. Sean Tucker - RB, TB

   • Rachaad White is the clear guy in Tampa - 80% of the snaps, Tucker barely got any run. Tucker’s the handcuff to White, though, so you can roster him for that reason. Otherwise, drop his ass.

10. Elic Ayomanor - WR, TEN

    • He showed a lot of good signs - the breakout can happen, but this offense is so bad - barely any signs of life. Calvin Ridley woke up, but can two WRs thrive in Tennessee? I doubt it. If you need the room for a more high-impact pickup, I’m fine moving on from Ayomanor to go clog up someone else’s roster.
