With six teams on bye and most of the league's best players dealing with injuries of varying degrees of severity, our usual midweek fantasy panic had actual consequences when waivers ran overnight on Wednesday. This week, the drops were notable — jarringly so. Early-round picks were kicked to the curb in great numbers.
Some were rage-dropped, others only reluctantly cut. Today's Panic Meter is focused on the players you just launched from your rosters in favor of Zach Evans, Rashee Rice and various other delights. My role here is to tell you exactly how much regret or relief you should be feeling about your drops. Let's get to it...
I am willing to concede on Dotson. He's unplayable right now, coming off a week in which he saw only one target — which he dropped — and having failed to top 40 receiving yards in any game all season. This was simply a whiff. Here's a partial list of running backs who've outscored Harris in fantasy this season: Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson, Jaleel McClaughlin, Samaje Perine, Tyler Allgeier, Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders, Tyjae Spears, Justice Hill, Gus Edwards, Latavius Murray, Antonio Gibson, Jerick McKinnon — and, notably, Jaylen Warren. How many of those dudes are currently unattached in your league?
But, well ... those ceiling games from Fields are hard to ignore. As of this writing, his range of outcomes includes surgery and IR, but it also includes a supernova second-half that looks a bit like last season. Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of making second-half plans.
