Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Drop & Hold Recommendations
Droppable
Rashod Bateman and Michael Thomas will both undergo surgery on their foot injuries. Their seasons are over.
The Buccaneers’ passing game isn’t nearly as explosive this year as it was in 2021. As a third wheel behind WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Julio Jones won’t get the target volume he needs in order to pop. In four games, Jones has 8-125-1 on 16 targets. You can do better.
Droppable with a chance of regret
Mike Gesicki has scored three touchdowns in the last four weeks, but he’s averaging 3.6 targets, 2.4 catches and 26.4 receiving yards a game. That’s not a lot to fall back on when the touchdowns dry up.
Cordarrelle Patterson‘s return from injured reserve makes Caleb Huntley a third wheel behind Patterson and Tyler Allgeier – and the eventual return of Damien Williams could further complicate the messy Atlanta backfield.
Don’t drop yet
There’s just one name on the don’t-drop list this week, and his name was here last week, too. We know how antsy you Drake London investors are, but we’re asking you to hang on a bit longer. His seven targets on Sunday were the most he’d had in a game since Week 5. London was only able to turn those seven targets into 3-23-0, but if the targets keep coming, he’s going to start paying off.
