At the beginning of the week, the fantasy football community is focused on the quit line. Of course, to pick up a player, you must drop another. This column covers the other side of this transaction. Familiarize yourself with our Droppables of Week 2.
Ronald Jones, RB, Buccaneers
It is not often that you will be comfortable dropping a rookie who was a second round pick, but there are exceptions to almost every rule. Jones was healthy during the first week after being the worst summer of all league players. Jones appeared to be a likely bet in Tampa as recently as a month ago, but he is now miles from Peyton Barber on the chart in depth. If you're looking to take a step back as Phillip Lindsay or T.J. Yeldon, you should not hesitate to let Jones go.
Josh Doctson, WR, Redskins
Chris Thompson led the Redskins in Week 1 with seven targets. Newcomer Paul Richardson has six, including a couple at the bottom of the field. Jordan Reed got five looks from Alex Smith and appeared in good health. Jamison Crowder was at the reception of only four targets, but his role in the offense is unassailable. Then there was Doctson, who had only three targets, catching one for 11 yards. Alex Smith made a good showing in his debut in Washington, completing 21 attempts out of 30 for a total of 255 yards, 8.5 yards per attempt and two touchdowns, but this attack will not support more than three or 3.5 drummers. Doctson seems to be the strange man.
Ty Montgomery, RB, Packers
If Montgomery will play a consistent role in the attack on Green Bay, Aaron Jones will probably have to come back from suspension. Well, one of these two games is gone and Montgomery is no closer to the relevance of fantasy. In fact, his prospects look bleaker than before the Bears' 24-23 win of the week. He only got two runs and three targets, totaling 28 yards per scrum. Jamaal Williams had 15 carries and two targets, and Geronimo Allison appeared to be a legitimate threat in the passing game, emerging alongside Davante Adams and Randall Cobb. Even in an attack led by Aaron Rodgers, there are only a lot of touches to be made. Montgomery does not seem to be able to have enough to stay on the fantastic radar.
Cameron Meredith, WR, Saints
Ronald Jones was not the only healthy scratch in the Buccaneers-Saints game. Meredith was also inactive, which led him to be behind Austin Carr, Tre'Quan Smith and Tommylee Lewis. Meredith may have more talent than some or all of these three, but if he's already in that deep hole, it's hard to imagine him playing his role in fantasy. The saints have one of the most explosive offenses in the league, but the use tree is not very broad beyond Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara and, on his return, from Mark Ingram. There is no reason for Meredith to have a safe place on your list after week 1.
Allen Hurns, WR, Cowboys
The Cowboys will not be the last team to fight off against the Panthers, especially in Charlotte, but they seemed lifeless in the first week. They scored all eight points and totaled 232 yards. Dak Prescott completed nearly two-thirds of his passes, but got only 170 yards and 5.86 YPA. Hurns was one of the recipients of one of these passes, and it is unclear whether this figure or its three targets were the most discouraging. Dallas was still going to have a low-volume passing game this year, but there was at least a hope that Hurns would take up a considerable part of that volume. With what now seems unlikely, it's easy to give up.
Notable omissions
Tyrell Williams, WR, Chargers
Williams caught two passes for eight yards last week, while Mike Williams scored five passes for 81 yards, but the first got one less and scored a touchdown. It is far too early to say that the youngest Williams is the second receiver of the team, and it should be noted that Philip Rivers attempted 51 passes and accumulated 424 yards and 8.31 YPA.
Giovani Bernard, RB, Bengals
Yes, it seems that Joe Mixon will be a workaholic for the Bengals this year. Still, we know what kind of player Bernard can have if Mixon breaks down, and it remains possible that he plays a role that makes him valuable during the part of the week. It would be premature to drop it at this time of the season.
Anthony Miller, WR, Bears
Miller did not do much in his career debut, capturing two of the three targets for 14 yards. He was on the field with 55.7% of Bears shots, playing 11 times more than Tarik Cohen. There will be better days for the Chicago attack and there is a legitimate chance that Green Bay will be among the league's best defenses this year after all of the team's investments in high school during the off-season.
Nick Chubb, RB, Browns
Chubb only had three races in the Browns Week 1 game with the Steelers, but Carlos Hyde was not very impressive on 22 bags. The fact that Hyde dominated the workload so carefully does not bode well, but the coaching staff may want to see more rookies after the veteran has collected just 62 yards on his 22 runs .
