Fantasy Football Drop Candidates
Read about fantasy football players to consider dropping for Week 16:
Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
The 22-year-old fourth-round selection has been a nice, explosive complement in Jacksonville's backfield this season next to starter Travis Etienne Jr., carrying the ball 78 times for 284 yards (3.6 yards per tote) and four rushing touchdowns, adding 10 catches for 79 yards and two more scores in 14 games. Tuten touched the ball only twice on Sunday, but one of those touches resulted in a one-yard TD reception. Fellow rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. will serve in the RB2 role for the Jags behind Etienne for however long Tuten is sidelined.
Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders
Daniels suffered a gruesome dislocation of his left elbow in Week 9 and didn't return until Week 14, when he aggravated the injury. The former second overall pick had an amazing rookie campaign, but he'll end 2025 with only 1,262 passing yards, eight TDs, and three interceptions in seven games. Daniels could easily bounce back in 2026, but there are some serious concerns about his durability now after he missed time with elbow, hamstring, and knee injuries this year.
Sean Tucker, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tucker has six touchdowns in his last seven games, and it seems like he'll continue to get enough short-yardage chances to be a touchdown-dependent flex option for deep leagues.
Quentin Johnston, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
With Johnston sidelined, there will be more targets to go around for Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, and rookie Oronde Gadsden. Rookie receiver Tre' Harris will also have an expanded role in the Chargers' passing game as the WR3 against a tough Chiefs defense. Johnston got off to a roaring start in 2025 with four touchdowns in the first four games, but he has only scored twice since Nov. 2 and has gone over 50 receiving yards just once since Sept. 28.
Bam Knight, RB, Arizona Cardinals
The diagnosis alone should lead fantasy managers to believe that Knight probably won't play in Week 16, especially with the Cardinals eliminated from playoff contention. It wouldn't be a surprise if Knight doesn't play in the final three weeks of the season. James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) are out for the season, so the backfield would be split by Michael Carter and Emari Demercado if Knight is unable to play against Atlanta. We should have a better idea of Knight's Week 16 status in a few days.
