You’re waking up on Tuesday reading all that you can about the players that you should be picking up off the waiver wire as you prepare for Week 12 of fantasy football in 2019.
But it’s likely there aren’t as many things written about who you should be dropping to grab those players. That’s what this weekly column — keep ’em or dump ’em! — will hopefully answer for you: Some help in the debate over who you should keep or drop in order to improve your team.
This is it — the last week of byes in the NFL season. After that? You’ll have a full lineup to work with as you try to make the playoffs. Let’s break down some names you might debating keeping or dropping.
1. RB Brian Hill, Atlanta Falcons
The hot pickup of last week was supposed to take advantage of a plus matchup against the Panthers and didn’t. Now, he’s got a couple of tough opponents against the run in the Bucs and the Saints. And yet … he’s a starting RB until Devonta Freeman returns. Ugh.
VERDICT: Keep him
2. RB Marlon Mack, Indianapolis Colts
In case you’re thinking about dropping him, there’s a shot he comes back — maybe in the fantasy playoffs? — so you’ve got to hold on to him for now.
VERDICT: Keep him
3. RB Ty Johnson, Detroit Lions
It seems like Bo Scarbrough has taken over.
VERDICT: Drop him
4. TE O.J. Howard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
You did it, didn’t you? You bought into the big game he had against the Cardinals and thought you’d take a shot. Well, there you go.
VERDICT: Drop him
5. WR Kenny Stills, Houston Texans
This is just in case you still owned him after his Week 7 explosion against the Colts.
VERDICT: Drop him
6. WR Zach Pascal, Indianapolis Colts
I really want to like him in a spot this week against the Texans if T.Y. Hilton is out again, but I just can’t trust him, and it seems like Hilton will be back soon.
VERDICT: Drop him
7. RB Jordan Howard, Philadelphia Eagles
A shoulder injury kept him out in Week 11, and now Jay Ajayi is his teammate. The whole RB situation is setting up to be annoying with Miles Sanders also in the mix … but you have to keep him in case he continues to find the end zone once he’s back and healthy.
VERDICT: Keep him
