Fun Fact for all you fantasy footballers to chew on: Ryan Fitzpatrick is still top 20 in points for QBs, even though he hasn’t started the past couple weeks. The fact illustrates a point that has become quite clear this season in fantasy football, and that is anything can happen. Come from behind victories, more overtime than ever, and kickers seemingly holding the fate of seasons in their hands have all played out so far going into week 7. In all that craziness, let’s take a look at the players who you should ride out this topsy turvy hurricane with, and who you should cut bait with ASAP.

Keep’em

Jordan Howard, (Chicago) 97% owned ESPN

There has been some concern that Tarik Cohen has usurped Howard’s lead role in Chicago’s offense, especially in PPR leagues. In actuality, the snap count has been split pretty evenly between the two. The trend in the offense is leaning towards Cohen, but Howard will bounce back. He is still getting at least 15 touches a game, and Cohen isn’t built for a heavy workload. Take advantage of the panic and try to trade for him, and keep him around for the long haul if you’ve got him.

 OJ Howard, (Tampa Bay) 53% owned ESPN

Howard has been hampered with a knee injury and held without a catch in recent weeks, which caused his stock to drop. Last week he rebounded, catching all four of his targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. Howard seems to be in a consistent role, and in a position with very little talent, keep Howard based on his upside going forward.

 CJ Beathard, (49ers) 6% owned ESPN

Beathard has proven the genius that is Kyle Shanahan. An uninspiring rookie campaign left Beathard on the free agent wire in most leagues. Since taking over as starting QB, CJ has eclipsed 17 points in every game, making him about a consistent an option as you can find, albeit in a small sample size. Bye weeks and poor play from many QBs have sent some scrambling for options. Keep Beathard if you’ve got him, and pick him up if you don’t.

Cut’em

 Kenny Stills, (Miami) 63% owned ESPN

Miami’s offense is a mess, with only spurts of crazy offensive activity, such as Albert Wilson’s performance last week. Stills has become too much of a hit or miss option, as he hasn’t had more than 3 catches or 40 yards the last 3 weeks. In fact, his catches and targets are trending downward, as he had only 2 targets last week. Avoid him for a better option elsewhere.

 Mike Williams, (Chargers) 36% owned ESPN

Mike Williams had a great start to his year, culminating in a 20+ point performance in week 3. Since then, however, he has fallen off a cliff, not even being able to score 8 points in the past 3 weeks. it seems to be a game of roulette in LA over which WR will be getting the catches in any given week. His recent scoring performances do not warrant a roster spot, so he is safe to be dropped in all formats.

 Corey Davis, (Titans) 83% owned ESPN

On the one hand, Davis leads the tians in fantasy points from skill position players. He has the volume to be a fantasy star. The problem is that the Titans offense is a dumpster fire, and Davis has only scored double digits in one of the past 4 weeks. The cost to draft Davis was decently high, and it is tough to drop a guy with his volume. The truth is that the offense does not seem to be getting better anytime soon, and thus makes it safe to drop or trade Davis.
