Fantasy Football: 4 Players You Can Drop After Week 10

Mike Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Yahoo Ownership: 52%

Every football fan loves big, flashy plays -- and the players who make them. For a couple weeks back in September, Mike Williams seemed like a player who could make those kinds of plays consistently. After a slow start in his rookie year, Williams looked primed to break out in his sophomore campaign.

But after those two big games in Weeks 2 and 3, Williams has faded from fantasy relevance. His targets have dropped from 4.4 per game through the first 5 weeks of the season to an unusable 2.5 per game since Week 6 -- he's had as many rushing attempts as receptions over that time frame. He's capitalized by scoring touchdowns in two of those games, but you simply cannot rely on such low volume if you want to win in fantasy.

His Week-10 performance was an especially brutal outcome of such low volume. Williams played fewer than 50% of the team's snaps and failed to draw even a single target. He's clearly the fourth option on the team's target totem pole behind Keenan Allen, Melvin Gordon and Tyrell Williams, so despite the high draft capital the Los Angeles Chargers invested in him in the 2017 NFL Draft, we can't bank on Mike in fantasy just yet.

Based on his ownership in Yahoo leagues, it seems like about half of you out there are holding onto hope that he'll break out at some point this season. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 2018 just isn't Mike Williams' year.
