Fantasy Football Drop Candidates
Read about fantasy football players to consider dropping for Week 11:
Rashod Bateman, WR, Baltimore Ravens
When asked about the injury, Bateman said he suffered a high-ankle sprain while diving toward the end zone. He finished Sunday's game with two targets, one catch, and 10 receiving yards.
The 25-year-old said he doesn't expect to miss too much time. However, this comment indicates that he may still face a short-term absence. In the meantime, DeAndre Hopkins should step up as Baltimore's No. 2 receiver alongside Zay Flowers.
Oronde Gadsden, TE, Los Angeles Chargers
At the time of his injury, the 22-year-old rookie had caught three of his six targets for only 13 yards. Although it was a slow night for him, the rookie out of Syracuse had cemented himself as a top-5 player at the tight end position in fantasy football. On the season, he has caught 35 of his 44 targets for 466 yards and two touchdowns.
More impressively, he has only been the starter since Week 6, so most of that production has come in the last five weeks. In his absence, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin picked up the slack because Will Dissly (coach's decision) was inactive.
Bam Knight, RB, Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. He is officially listed as questionable to return, but it seems unlikely he gets back into the game since Arizona trails by multiple scores in the waning minutes.
If Knight's day is indeed done, he finishes Week 10 with 10 carries for 28 rushing yards. He also converted four targets into just one catch for an additional five receiving yards. It was a relatively inefficient outing for the 24-year-old and could cost him some opportunities heading into Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Emari Demercado, who has more than 180 scrimmage yards over the last two games, could poach some of Knight's volume. Demercado remains the most intriguing Arizona running back in fantasy football, ranking as an RB3/flex. Knight falls into the RB4 tier.
Chris Rodriguez Jr., RB, Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions. At the time of his departure, he had six carries for 16 rushing yards and a touchdown, sharing work fairly evenly with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols.
Rodriguez Jr. was named team Captain for Sunday's contest, and many reports suggested a potential shift in Commander running back ownership. Still, due to his injury, we couldn't see exactly how things would have played out. Croskey-Merritt ended the game with 11 carries for 30 yards (2.7 YPC), playing most of the second half, while McNichols finished with five carries for 25 yards.
The Commanders head to Spain for their Week 11 tilt with the Miami Dolphins, who are bottom-10 against opposing running backs on the season, making Rodriguez Jr. a desperate flex-worthy start, if healthy next week.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, Washington Commanders
After yet another disappointing performance in Week 10 for Jacory Croskey-Merritt, fantasy managers who were pressed into starting Washington's rookie running back versus the Lions have likely had enough.
It's somewhat shocking to see JCM's ownership percentage in Yahoo leagues still sitting at 81%, considering he entered Week 10 ranked RB40 in PPR scoring formats, and has largely been an unreliable and inconsistent running back.
Even though fantasy gamers may be tempted to keep Jacory Croskey-Merritt on the roster for the Week 11 matchup versus Miami's porous run defense, don't be fooled; he only scored 4.2 fantasy points against the Cowboys in Week 7, a matchup that was supposed to be a guaranteed smash spot for many hopeful managers.
