Most-Dropped Players In Dynasty Fantasy Football: Should You Cut Emanuel Wilson?

After going over the five most-added players, it's time to turn our attention to the most-dropped players across dynasty fantasy football leagues on Sleeper over the last week.

Should you cut ties with these players, or hold out hope for a bit longer?

The Top-Five Most-Dropped Players In Sleeper Dynasty Fantasy Football Leagues

Brashard Smith | RB | KC

This one stings a bit, as I was optimistic about Brashard Smith during his rookie campaign. A seventh-round pick, Smith appeared in all 17 games yet only tallied 44 rushing attempts and averaged only 3.4 yards per carry. He did haul in 25 receptions on 35 targets and scored his lone TD in Week 17.

However, the Chiefs made one of the biggest free agent signings when they inked Kenneth Walker (Super Bowl Champion & Super Bowl MVP) to a new contract. They also spent a fifth-round pick on Emmett Johnson, one of the top receiving RBs in this class. Finally, they signed Emari Demercado in free agency as another depth piece. Speaking of Demercado, he's been wildly efficient during his three years with the Cardinals, albeit on a smaller sample size.

That leaves little room for Smith to rise on the depth chart and compete for a meaningful role this season. While it might pain me to say it, Smith is someone you can afford to drop at this time unless he's still on your taxi squad and you've got space to spare.

Calvin Austin | WR | NYG

During his time with the Steelers, Calvin Austin was a much better asset to have in best ball formats than he was in any other fantasy football format. He's a big play waiting to happen, as demonstrated by his four top-15 weeks across his three seasons. However, he has just eight total TDs in that time and is going to be buried in a myriad of options in the New York receiver room.

After Malik Nabers, you have guys like Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, JuJu Smith-Schuster and even the recently signed Odell Beckham. There's no single player outside of Nabers that I feel comfortable drafting right now. At this stage of his career, we know who Austin is, and he's not someone I am likely going to spend a roster spot on heading into the 2026 season.

Emanuel Wilson | RB | SEA

I gotta say, this one surprised me a little bit. After filling in admirably for the Green Bay Packers over the last few seasons, I figured his signing in Seattle, coupled with the departure of Kenneth Walker and the injury to Zach Charbonnet, would result in him being a hotter commodity.

However, early reports are that someone named George Holani is getting most of the first-team reps while newly drafted Jadarian Price works into the rotation as well. That's left Wilson to work with the third-stringers.

After some of the Jacobs news out of Green Bay earlier this offseason, there was some local chatter about the Packers going to the Seahawks to try to trade back for Wilson; that's how important his presence was during his tenure. In fact, as the secondary option, here's what Wilson managed to rack up over his last two seasons:

225 rushing attempts
998 rushing yards
8 total TDs
34 of 34 games played

Those are solid numbers for a backup. For now, I am hesitant to truly drop Wilson as he's demonstrated an ability to contribute for several years now, and will ride with him as the offseason continues to unfold.

Devin Singletary | RB | NYG

Despite playing for three teams over the last four seasons, Devin Singletary has remained remarkably durable and productive. Aside from team-hopping over the back half of his career, the only real concern has been his steady drop in consistency. He topped 5.0 yards per carry as a rookie back in 2019, ran off four straight years of 4.0+ yards per carry, and is now on the heels of consecutive seasons where he's been in the high 3s in terms of yards per carry.

Now, as he gets set to embark on Year 3 with the Giants, Singletary is likely going to find himself No. 3 on the depth chart behind both Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy. As another credit to Singletary, he's done well whenever he's been tasked with taking on a larger role if a starter goes down, but too many things have to break his way to become fantasy relevant this season.

I'm fine dropping Singletary to waivers if there are better, more intriguing options available either on your waiver wire or in your upcoming rookie draft.

Roman Wilson | WR | PIT

It's been a disappointing start to a once-promising career for Roman Wilson. Drafted on Day 2 by the Steelers back in 2024, injuries have limited him to just 14 games (12 total receptions, two TDs) across two seasons. Unfortunately for Wilson and dynasty managers everywhere, it's not looking like it's going to get easier for him to consistently produce.

The Steelers receiver room is led by the tandem of DK Metcalf and newly acquired Michael Pittman. In addition, the team added second-round wideout Germie Bernard this past spring. That's a lot of bodies in front of Wilson. Once you include the RBs and TEs, our projections have him finishing No. 8 in PPR scoring … on his own team.

I wish I had better news about Wilson, but it might just be curtains for him as a viable dynasty fantasy football asset. If something happens over the next few weeks to change that narrative, I'll be sure to let you know.
