Andy's top fantasy football drops to consider making before Week 13 of the fantasy football season. Time to say goodbye to players like Bam Knight, Kayshon Boutte, and more?
With the fantasy football playoffs just weeks away, managers will need to begin trimming their rosters in favor of high-upside players who could push them over the edge during the final weeks of the campaign.
In this piece, we will highlight several of the most dropped players in Yahoo leagues and determine whether managers should hold or cut them ahead of the full Week 13 slate.
Who should fantasy managers cut before the full Week 13 slate begins? Let's dive in!

Players to Consider Cutting for Week 13
Rashid Shaheed, SEA - 60% Rostered
When Shaheed was shipped to the Seahawks, many managers assumed he would become their go-to deep threat. However, since moving out west, the former Saint has not had a large role and has been borderline unusable in fantasy formats. Through three games with Seattle, Shaheed has caught just three of his eight targets for a mere 30 yards.
During this stretch, he has never eclipsed 5.0 PPR points in a single game. Through his first nine games of the season in New Orleans, Shaheed averaged a much higher 11.8 PPR points per game. He is a safe cut in all standard formats, given his minimal role.
Bam Knight, ARI - 30% Rostered
Bam Knight has had viable low-end RB2 upside while Trey Benson (knee) has been on the IR. While he has often been stuck in a committee, he has produced when given opportunities, averaging a modest 10.0 PPR points per game since Week 7. He has also had a nose for the end zone, punching in four scores over this stretch.
However, with Benson practicing last week and continuing to ramp up his workload this week, he is quickly approaching a return. He is in a great position to be activated off the IR on Sunday, prior to their contest against the Buccaneers. Benson will likely return to his three-down role, making Knight a safe cut. He would be a low-end handcuff going forward.
Kayshon Boutte, NE - 35% Rostered
Boutte has had a near every-down role in New England, but has been very inconsistent. Through 10 games this season, the LSU product has fallen under the 10.0 PPR point mark six times. In addition, he is only seeing 2.5 targets per game, making him a risky boom-or-bust play on most weeks.
Even though he is seeing nearly 70% of the snaps weekly, since Drake Maye does not look his way as often, he is a safe cut in all standard leagues and a borderline hold in 12-team formats. While he could enjoy a few spike weeks down the stretch, it will be challenging to predict, as his floor is very low.

Blake Corum, LAR - 20% Rostered
The final player to consider cutting from your bench is Rams running back Blake Corum. Corum saw double-digit rushing attempts in each game during Weeks 7 through 10, but has quickly fallen back to the clear RB2. Over his last two games, he has seen just 7.5 attempts per game and has only logged 33% of the team's RB snaps.

Seeing that his standalone value continues to decline, managers should only look to hold him in deeper 12+ team leagues as a handcuff, as Corum could enter low-end RB1 territory if Kyren Williams were to miss time. Managers in shallower 10-team leagues should look to cut Corum in favor of a viable weekly RB3 that carries more short-term upside.
