Should I drop Jerry Jeudy, Travis Hunter, Christian Kirk? Fantasy waiver wire WR advice for Week 6 image

There have been some highly touted fantasy wide receivers who have yet to deliver this season.

Three of these, to varying degrees, are Jerry Jeudy, Travis Hunter and Christian Kirk.

As bye weeks get rolling and the waiver wire gets fired up, that can invite the desire to make moves. Some fantasy teams are off to great starts, and others need a boost.

That creates some difficult drop questions.

Should I drop Jerry Jeudy in fantasy?

In most leagues, Jeudy is probably a player to put on your bench and hold. 

The change to QB Dillon Gabriel could use a couple weeks to see how it'll really play out, and Jeudy is still WR1 in Cleveland.

But it seems like his upside is far below expectation. The Browns run so much and throw to their tight ends a lot. Jeudy is a secondary option, at best. If there's a need for your team on the waiver wire, dropping Jeudy probably wouldn't come back to bite you too badly.

Should I drop Travis Hunter in fantasy?

Hunter is probably a player to hold onto.

The Jaguars showed in a couple key spots Monday night that they want to get him the ball, and he made an insane catch on a jump ball down the field.

His overall touches haven't felt quite high enough, and the Jags are still figuring out how to use him. But Hunter is too talented to let go of at the moment.

Should I drop Christian Kirk in fantasy?

It's safe to drop Christian Kirk in fantasy.

The Texans have a bye in Week 6, and when they're back on the field, Kirk won't have a large enough role to matter.

Use his spot to plug a different bye week hole or grab some upside or an RB handcuff.
