Should I drop these fantasy WRs? Outlooks for DJ Moore, Cooper Kupp, Rashee Rice, Malik Nabers image

With four weeks in the book, it's either time to panic or time to take a deep breath as fantasy football managers.

There's a lot of time left, but there are also some sample sizes that are getting larger and are hard to ignore.

For some wide receivers, the decisions this week are easier than others. We'll break down four: DJ Moore, Cooper Kupp, Rashee Rice and Malik Nabers.

Should I drop DJ Moore in fantasy?

The Chicago Bears' offense hasn't been as riveting as some hoped with Ben Johnson at the helm, but there's no way you can drop Moore in fantasy football.

He's still a top WR, and the Bears have looked for different ways to get him the ball, including out of the backfield.

If this offense starts clicking, Moore will be a big part of its success.

Rome Odunze has put on a show early on, yes. That doesn't mean Moore isn't still worth having around.

Should I drop Cooper Kupp in fantasy?

There's a legitimate case to dropping Kupp, but it'd have to be for a real waiver wire gem.

Kupp has received 3-9-3-5 in targets across the first four weeks, which is going to make it hard for him to make a huge impact.

There's still some potential PPR value here, but he's not a big play guy, either.

You likely won't regret dropping Kupp, but he's got just enough floor that you don't have to rush to get rid of him, either.

Should I drop Rashee Rice in fantasy?

No, don't drop Rashee Rice in fantasy football.

If you have him now, you've waited out most of his six-game suspension.

Rice will miss two more Chiefs games and be eligible to return in Week 7. And maybe it'll be a week to shake the rust off, but he should eventually be one of Patrick Mahomes' favorite targets.

Frankly, you should check to see if Rice is available in your league. Because when he gets back, he'll be worth having in your lineup.

Should I drop Malik Nabers in fantasy?

Yes, drop Malik Nabers in fantasy.

His knee injury Sunday is a reported torn ACL and will end his season.

Of course, in a keeper league, don't drop Nabers. He's still a long-term star at WR.
