As Fantasy Football Week 7 approaches, injuries and player performances weigh heavily on team managers. This week’s analysis highlights key players to consider dropping from your roster. Making strategic changes can significantly enhance your team. Let’s delve into some players who are currently underperforming.
Fantasy Football Week 7: Key Players to Drop Now
Jauan Jennings – WR, 49ers
Jauan Jennings returned in Week 6 after ankle and rib injuries. Unfortunately, he managed only one reception for seven yards on three targets. With the anticipated returns of George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall, along with Kendrick Bourne’s recent emergence, Jennings’ future in fantasy looks bleak.
Chris Godwin – WR, Buccaneers
Chris Godwin has struggled this season, posting minimal scores due to ongoing injuries. After two games with just 4.1 points in half-PPR leagues, he is now sidelined with a fibula injury. As Mike Evans nears his return, the competition for targets will only increase. Fantasy managers should reevaluate Godwin’s value moving forward.
Keon Coleman – WR, Bills
Keon Coleman’s season has been disappointing, highlighted by a brief benching in Week 5 and a low scoring average of 6.1 points since Week 2. Even with team injuries, he managed just three receptions for 11 yards. In most leagues, Coleman is not worth holding onto when better options are available.
Tyrone Tracy – RB, Giants
Tyrone Tracy has lost his starting position to rookie Cam Skattebo following a shoulder injury. In his return, Tracy played only 32% of the snaps and recorded merely six rushing yards. With Skattebo dominating the backfield, Tracy’s fantasy relevance has diminished significantly.
Hassan Haskins – RB, Chargers
Hassan Haskins was viewed as a potential key player due to injuries in the Chargers’ backfield. However, he was outperformed by Kimani Vidal, who took 21 touches compared to Haskins’ seven. With rumors of acquiring a veteran back before the trade deadline, Haskins’ position appears increasingly precarious.
- Jauan Jennings – Minimal impact; consider dropping.
- Chris Godwin – Competing for targets; may not return to form.
- Keon Coleman – Underperforming consistently; likely expendable.
- Tyrone Tracy – Lost starting role; limited fantasy potential.
- Hassan Haskins – Backup role solidified; explore better options.
As the season progresses, monitoring player performance and health is crucial. Dropping underperforming players can provide an opportunity to strengthen your roster ahead of Week 7.
