5 players that are worth dropping before Week 8 in fantasy football

Deshaun Watson

In Week 3, Deshaun Watson started to play like a top quarterback when he had 289 passing yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers. However, since that game he would be inactive for two games with a bye in the middle due to a shoulder injury and returned in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts.

The return was short-lived as he would leave the game after only 12 snaps and completed one of his five pass attempts with an interception. Watson has shown at times he can be a QB1 in fantasy football but the best ability is availability.

Right now, he is too much of a risk to start and there are much better options at quarterback, especially one quarterback leagues.
