Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Drop or Hold?

• Tank Bigsby
• Quentin Johnston
• Elijah Mitchell
• Kyle Pitts

Tank Bigsby played only 12 snaps in the Jaguars’ Week 2 loss to the Chiefs and didn’t have a single carry. As much as he was playing in the preseason, it seemed as if Bigsby might have standalone fantasy value even with Travis Etienne the clear No. 1 in Jacksonville. It turns out that isn’t the case. Still, Bigsby is a potentially valuable handcuff back who’d become a must-start if Etienne were to go down.

Chargers first-rounder Quinton Johnston Is currently operating as the team’s No. 4 receiver behind Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Josh Palmer. But based on the worrisome injury histories of Allen and Williams, Johnson is worth keeping around if you can spare a roster spot.

With Christian McCaffrey dominating snaps and touches in the 49ers’ backfield, there’s little for Elijah Mitchell to do. McCaffrey has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, so ditching Mitchell would be premature. He’s a lottery ticket with the potential to bring you a jackpot.

The Kyle Pitts haters are already getting restless, with Pitts producing 4-59-0 on eight targets over his first two games. Don’t give up on a player of Pitts’ immense talents.
