Welcome to Week 8 of the 2023 Footballguys Roundtable. Our intrepid panel of fantasy pundits discusses and debates four topics every week. We split the conversation into separate features.
This week's roundtable features these four topics:
- Rams and Cardinals Backfields
- Every Week/Bye Week/Fluke Week
- Quit/Don't Quit (see below)
- Either/Or: The RB Edition
Let's roll.
Quit/Don't Quit
Matt Waldman: Consider this list of players for the two questions below...
A: Presuming you have the luxury of one roster spot to wait on one player with a high ceiling of potential in a re-draft format, who are you keeping as long as possible?
B: Presuming you have one of these players from this list to dump to make room for a free-agent addition to your roster, which one is the easiest to part with?
Daniel Harms: Presuming you have the luxury of one roster spot to wait on one player with a high ceiling of potential in a re-draft format, Dalton Kincaid showed the talent and target-earning ability that his predraft profile suggested he had. He will have a window to be the number-two target-getter in the offense, with the Bills sputtering and searching for an answer. Josh Allen is still an elite quarterback to be tied to, and Kincaid is the guy I want to bet on.
Presuming you have one of these players from this list to dump to make room for a free-agent addition to your roster, Gerald Everett has been the starting tight end for the Chargers for the last two seasons and hasn’t been a consistent fantasy option. He’s not a tight end I’m worried about burning me on the waiver wire.
Zareh Kantzabedian: Presuming you have the luxury of one roster spot to wait on one player with a high ceiling of potential in a re-draft format, I'm considering each player's highest ceiling, given their current roster environment. With that said, Tank Dell's ceiling can be so much higher. Dell was beginning to carve out a significant role before being injured. He's on an offense with a quarterback who's hit the ground running, and Dell is the Houston Texans' deep threat. The Texans' remaining schedule vs opposing secondaries is soft. Dell should feast.
Presuming you have one of these players from this list to dump to make room for a free-agent addition to your roster, Gerald Everett is the most viable candidate to cut. Tight ends ranked outside of the top three are a dime a dozen. Managers are better off playing the position week to week.
