Dynasty drop day next week! (1 Viewer)

I am in a 12 team PPR single QB Dynasty league. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K and 2 flex. I am in a semi-rebuilding phase where I traded away some players last year for more picks. I picked up 5 rookies in the draft and then a couple as undrafted free agents as well. I have to drop 3 of these players next week. I have 2 QB's Mahomes an Goff, pretty solid there. Starting RB's have been shakey for me currently would be Achane and TreVeyon Henderson. I have other RBs that are backups on their team but up and comers like Tank Bigbsy, Blace Corum, Trey Bensen, Rashad White was my starter last year. WRs I have Waddle, Skinny Batman Smith, Calvin Ridley then Travis Hunter, Kyle Williams. A lot of #2's on their own team, not many #1 WRs or RBs at this point.

Here is the bottom of my roster where the delima is. I have to cut 3
Vele, Devaughn DEN WR = was going to drop him but he just got traded into a possible starting position?
TeSlaa, Isaac DET WR (R) = picked him as free agent after the draft, but he has been catching TDs already and hookup with my QB.
Boutte, Kayshon NEP WR = had a good season last year, only 23
Mostert, Raheem LVR RB = Acquired him last year in a trade to backup Achane, now he is #2 in Vegas oldest player of the group.
Giddens, DJ IND RB (R) = picked him as free agent after the draft, but been hearing a lot of great things about him being the backup for Taylor who gets hurt all the time.
Marks, Woody HOU RB (R) = he was my 3.05 pick and doing well in camp, don't want to lose him.

Right now I am leaning towards Mostert, Boutte and Vele. What do you think? Thanks in advance!
 
I think you have the right 3.
Mostert's age makes him a tough hold in dynasty. I've debated with the Jeanty owner in my league whether Mostert or Zamir White is the right handcuff, and I do think it's Mostert, but everyone else on this list is so young and you are admittedly not contending right now, so even if Mostert were to inherit the role, that likely wouldn't push you into contention.
Vele may be a starter in New Orleans, but how valuable is the #3 receiver on potentially the worst offense, with potentially the worst QB situation, in the league, going to be for fantasy.
And you have Kyle Williams as your bet for WR on the Patriots. I'm a Pats fan, and have high hopes for the team this year, but the top offensive weapons are going to be, in some order, Henderson / Diggs / Henry / Douglas. The offense isn't going to support all these guys at one time, so I'll bet on the rookie in Kyle Williams over Boutte, who had a nice year last year but he wasn't anything special. In a crowded receiver room, take the bet on the high third round rookie, with good athletic profile, and was picked with Vrabels input this year.
 
Kind of depends on your approach for this year. If you are playing for the future then you definitely get rid of Mostert. After that it is a bit of a coin toss. Seems like Boutte and Vele would be the right choices but some of that is due to shiny new toy syndrome with the rookies.

I probably just stick with the three you plan on. These are all pretty similar guys so it's a coin toss.
