Are you 0-2 in your fantasy league and feeling the pressure? Don't panic! It's tempting to make drastic changes, but cutting players too soon can haunt you later. This week, we're looking at players who might be clogging up your roster, but also highlighting a surprising offensive weapon in the NFL.
Fantasy Football: Who to Drop Before Week 3?
It's time to face facts. Some players just aren't performing. While patience is key, there are a few who deserve the axe. Consider dropping players who are underperforming significantly or facing injury setbacks. Remember, a roster spot is valuable!
J.J. McCarthy: Time to Say Goodbye?
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy, rostered in 71% of leagues, might be droppable in many formats. Even before his ankle sprain, his performance was questionable. Consider freeing up that roster spot for a player with more immediate upside.
Seahawks Unleash Rookie Fullback: Robbie Ouzts!
In a surprising turn of events, Seattle Seahawks rookie fullback Robbie Ouzts played a pivotal role in their Week 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks' offense, after a lackluster Week 1, showcased a dominant ground game, outgaining the Steelers 117-72 on the ground.
Kenneth Walker III had a fantastic game, rushing for 105 yards and a touchdown. However, Ouzts, a tough and physical blocker, was instrumental in creating those running lanes. NFL analysts even highlighted Ouzts' impressive play, showing him pancaking BOTH Steelers linebackers on a single play!
Ouzts embodies the Seahawks' desired offensive identity: toughness and physicality. Look for the Seahawks to continue utilizing Ouzts to pave the way for Walker and Zach Charbonnet. He's a player to watch, even if he's not a fantasy football star in the traditional sense. He's making a real impact on the field.
So, while you're making those tough roster decisions, keep an eye on the unsung heroes like Robbie Ouzts. They might just be the key to a team's success!
