Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?
Don’t drop yet
Justin Fields has been undeniably bad this season, but the Bears’ season has been such an unmitigated disaster that it’s hard to tell how much of it is Fields himself and how much of it is poor coaching. It’s wild that we’re even talking about cutting last season’s QB6 in fantasy scoring, but here we are. The Bears have an extremely soft schedule the rest of the way, so don’t get rid of Fields yet, but you might have to carry a second quarterback if you don’t have one already.
Rashid Shaheed was targeted only twice and was held without a catch Sunday in Green Bay after rolling up 9-152-1 in his first three games. Don’t panic-drop him.
Jaxson Smith Njigba is off to a sluggish start, with 9-57-0 on 14 targets. He’s a third wheel behind D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, but JSN is too talented to cast aside. An injury to one of Seattle’s veteran receivers would spike Smith-Njigba’s value.
