Would anyone cut Davis for say Tee Higgins right about now?
Trying to gauge where you all are at. I have to carry AJBrown and I had Davis I was covering with, hadn't thought about cutting bait just yet but the positive news on Brown today that he might play week 5...interesting,
I just did... sort of. Going into my free agent blind bidding this week my WR crew was N'keal Harry, Sammy Watkins, Corey Davis, Alan Robinson. We normally have 2 IR spots in our league, but we upped it to 4 this year because of COVID. I had Jamison Crowder and AJ Brown on IR.
I went all in and bid high on Justin Jefferson and dropped Harry. My thoughts were that I was going to start Alan Robinson and Justin Jefferson this week, and eventually AJ and Crowder will be back on my active roster. I figured why hang on to Corey Davis and Sammy Watkins? Sure they are good and will get some points, but I am kind of looking for a lottery ticket in my WR group because it is my weakest point. I thought eventually, in a couple weeks, my 4 WR will be Robinson, AJ Brown, Crowder, and Justin Jefferson. I thought, I'm playing Jefferson this week so Davis will be expendable to me and I don't view him as a lottery ticket. I thought the same about Watkins.
So after waivers were processed, and they opened it up for free waivers I dropped Corey Davis for Higgins and Sammy Watkins for Aiyuk. Now, if I had to depend on Davis as a starter I doubt I would have dropped him for Higgins, but as an owner looking for a breakout WR I decided to roll the dice with Higgins instead of Davis.
Side note: we start 2 WR, 1 TE and do not have a flex. Our bench is a bit short as well which is why we have so many good WR on the wire.
