Cut’em or Keep’em Week 6
Ben Roethlisberger, (PIT) 65% owned
Verdict: Cut
Demaryius Thomas, (DEN) 97.8% owned
Though Thomas is ranked 58th among WRs in fantasy football so far, his owners should not be too worried. In his four games, Thomas has received less than nine targets just once. Additionally, he has put up a decent amount of yardage in 75% of those performances with 236 yards in those three games. If Thomas is able to start reeling in touchdowns he’ll instantly become a top-20 commodity in fantasy football. Verdict: Keep
Martavias Bryant, (PIT) 86.8% owned
Bryant performed extremely well in limited action over the past few years. In 22 total games, he scored 14 touchdowns as a fringe starter for the Steelers. Last year he missed the entirety of the season due to a suspension, but expectations were still high going into this season. In 2017, his production is not there. Bryant is getting targeted a decent amount (31 targets through five games), but Pittsburgh inefficient offense has hurt Byant. His yards per reception and touchdown numbers have dropped, which was his calling card in the past.
Verdict: Cut
Tarik Cohen, (CHI) 72.8% owned
