Wondering if there are other dynasty teams that have found found themselves making drops they weren't planning on in the name of keep-away, or doing everything they can to maximize their chances of winning in the fantasy playoffs? Who have you dropped and what did you do with the roster spot? I have the #1 seed and a week 15 bye in a 12-team x 24-man dynasty. I've already dropped a few names I had every intention of at least carrying into the offseason.
N. Hines - favorite sleeper pick that was obviously a big whiff. I think he could resurface in fantasy on the Bills offense in '23, or even in '22 if Singletary were to go down. But just not enough upside to make him a priority hold. I originally added Mike White as an insurance QB when Rodgers looked questionable. Have moved on to the Lions DST. They're coming on a bit and have some pretty decent matchups.
Gus Edwards - didn't really need the rb depth, so traded him for peanuts to a "safe" team (upgraded my 3rd rounder). At the time, I really wanted to get Ingram on my roster after he was elevated to the #2 spot in ARI behind Conner. I have since moved on from Ingram to Knight.
As mediocre as the Titans DST has been, I still feel like I need to take them off the table as a week 16 threat playing Houston. My likely opponent doesn't have great week 16 options at DST. I think I might have to drop either D. Henderson or I. Likely to make it happen. Henderson is probably a safe play here given the quick release from Jacksonville, but I still wouldn't mind keeping him around to see where he lands this offseason. I don't think that a bad team picks him up in the coming weeks and actually gives him the rock, but stranger things have happened.
Likely should be stashed, but doesn't seem likely to contribute much the rest of this season. Noah Gray, Bellinger, and Ferguson are all FAs and I think they're decent stashes in the offseason. I would be able to pick one up when I'm done playing keep-away on DSTs. I would rather stash Likely, but I don't know that he's THAT much better of a prospect.
Not going to lie, I'm tempted to drop Zamir White. Even if Jacobs does take the payday elsewhere (which I don't think is a given), I really don't know how much of a role I can expect from Zamir in '23 at this point. Even if they had him pegged as a backup rb getting a decent number of carries next season, wouldn't he be getting a little more than what they're giving him right now? I think I'm going to force myself to hold through the offseason, but it's really starting to feel like I'm holding a candle for something that isn't going to materialize.
Some additional context, my dynasty league ENDS if the the other team on bye wins the championship this season.
