As your fantasy season continues, you should always be evaluating your roster. You may not need to make any big trades, but you should make sure you have a strong bench both for the short term and the long term. These players are all wasting space, offering little to no fantasy value outside of incredibly ideal matchups. Drop these players in Week 7 and search the waiver wire for more value.

Week 7 Players You Can Drop
All players are rostered in over 50% of Fantrax leagues
Bo Nix – QB, Denver Broncos
Averaging just 13.5 fantasy points per game, Bo Nix is barely worth rostering. While peaks of 18 and 23 points against the Jaguars and Rams are nice, lows of 5.55 and 8.75 against the Chiefs and Seahawks just won’t cut it. Nix has yet to flash high upside or even a real floor this year. The Broncos are finding ways to win games, but it’s not because of Nix. When you’re averaging under 175 passing yards and just one passing TD per game without insane rushing totals, you need to stay on the waiver wire. Nix is still rostered in 95% of Fantrax leagues. While the schedule starts to lighten, there are concerns about Nix as a whole. Cut him in Week 7.
Courtland Sutton – WR, Denver Broncos
Despite ranking second on the Broncos in targets, Courtland Sutton is averaging just 5.2 PPR points per game. Sutton has had consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons and a combined 15 receiving TDs. Through his first six games of 2026, Sutton is on pace for under 400 yards and three TDs. It’s unlikely that this dreadful pace continues for Sutton, but there is a real concern for his long-term outlook. Part of the problem is QB play. Bo Nix is averaging under 175 passing yards per game. However, Sutton is just not getting enough targets to make him fantasy relevant in most leagues. While he does have weekly FLEX appeal, actual scoring has yet to materialize. Sutton’s best game was a 9.8-point game where he only caught two balls for 18 yards and a TD. His best game by receiving yards was 46 yards in a shootout with the Rams. In a 10- or 12-team league, you can cut Sutton.
Brian Thomas Jr. – WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
After two consecutive goose eggs, is there any reason for hope? Brian Thomas Jr. went from 133 targets and nearly 1,300 yards as a rookie to just 91 targets and 707 yards as a sophomore. Now, Thomas is averaging a career-low 17.5 yards per game. A trade may be on the horizon, but it’s hard to say if that would even help if it happened. It’s hard to stomach rostering someone who can easily drop under two points in a given week without any flashes of upside this year. While some fantasy managers may want to hold onto Thomas in case of a second-half boom, you also need to consider your short-term future. Is this a risk worth taking rather than stashing another high-upside player like a rookie or a handcuff RB? It’s unlikely that this is the move that helps you win your league. Cut bait on BTJ and look elsewhere for depth in Week 7.
Dalton Schultz – TE, Houston Texans
Schultz was on this list last week, but it should be repeated. A 26-point game against the Bengals in September has helped keep Schultz on many fantasy rosters. However, his actual usage and production suggest that he is barely worth a bench spot. Schultz just had his third-best game of the season, drawing six targets and catching four of them for 33 yards. This was in a game where the Texans scored 34 points. Fellow TE Foster Moreau did catch two TDs that may have otherwise gone to Schultz, but it’s clear that usage will be mixed in this offense. Even heading into this game, Schultz and Moreau were tied with two red zone targets each. The weekly upside for Schultz is seriously lacking. You’re better off cutting him and finding a higher upside option.
Oronde Gadsden – TE, Los Angeles Chargers
Despite averaging just 4.8 PPR points per game this year, Gadsden is still rostered in 56% of Fantrax leagues. Gadsden had some major boom weeks in his rookie season last year, but it has yet to happen in 2026. Despite drawing five targets in a game where the Chargers were constantly behind, Gadsden only caught three balls for 17 yards. Charlie Kolar was targeted six times, catching three of them for 20 yards. While it’s encouraging to see Gadsden get his fair share of work, the actual production on those targets is lacking. Additionally, target competition exists at the position. There are serious issues with this Chargers offense, and it’s impossible to trust any of the pass catchers on a weekly basis. That includes Oronde Gadsden.
