Most fantasy advice will never be one size fits all, and that’s especially true of a cut list. You need to apply this to your situation and the context of your competition. A stock in one league could be a bye player in another room. And remember, if you never make any regretful cuts during the season, you’re probably playing way too conservatively.

Here are some players to consider dropping like you target available players outside the waiver wire.

He was a big success in two games in Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, that’s all he gets. The average Cousins ​​finish outside the Bucs is outside the top 20. This isn’t the type of player worth a bye, nor will I be in a rush to sign Cousins ​​later this year to add.

It’s been ineffective, it’s been a bit ripped off, it’s been used sparingly. Obviously De’Von Achane is the bell cow here, but Jaylen Wright could also be ahead of Mostert in touches. And is the 2024 Miami offense actually all that fun?

He only ran six routes in the revenge game against Pittsburgh. I’m sure those routes looked great on the coaching tape. Maybe Baltimore couldn’t say no to the cheap cost of acquiring Johnson, but they have no immediate interest in making him a regular part of their current offense.

He hasn’t scored a TD all year and he’s averaging a modest 30 yards per game. Nico Collins is back, Tank Dell is a mouth to feed and even John Metchie III is starting to produce. And when Houston gets close, Joe Mixon is the man to score.

They were the No. 2 D/ST in the preseason, but they are 18th in fantasy points. When was the last time you managed to focus on a summer defense? It’s easy to cut the Jets on a bye week, I guess, but I won’t be tempted to start them after that, with the possible exception of the Week 15 game in Jacksonville.
