Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire: Players To Cut from Your Fantasy Team

Mike Goodson (Carolina Panthers)

When Jonathan Stewart returned to the lineup for the Carolina Panthers, it meant Mike Goodson’s time at running back was going to suffer, and it did.

Stewart returned two weeks ago but was still in a part time role, earning just 12 carries. In last week’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Stewart ran 21 times for 92 yards and a touchdown.

At the same time Goodson went from 14 carries two weeks ago to just three last week against Seattle. Yes, we know he did get injured and sit out the second half, however Goodson has clearly been outplayed by Stewart since his return.

As long as Stewart is healthy he’s going to get the overwhelming majority of the carries. Should he become hurt again, his owners would be wise to pick up Goodson (if healthy), or Tyrell Sutton, very quickly. Other than that, Goodson has no value right now.

Keiland Williams (Washington Redskins)

Washington Redskins running back Keiland Williams had double-digit carries in Weeks 10 and 11 and has done a whole lot of nothing since then.

In the last two weeks, he’s combined for eight carries for 34 yards and no touchdowns, and two weeks ago, he rushed for five yards on three carries. At the same time, James Davis has earned more carries in each of the last two weeks than Williams, though not by much.

It appears Davis will handle more of the first and second down duties, with Williams serving as the third-down back from here on out.

Owners in very deep PPR leagues may want to hold onto Williams, but other than that, his value is extremely limited.

Dez Bryant (Dallas Cowboys)

It is unfortunate to see a player’s season end because of injury, but that’s just what happened to Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant in last week’s win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Bryant has already had surgery on the fractured fibula and is expected to be fine for the 2011 season, however he has been placed on injured reserve, thus ending his rookie season.

Bryant had played well as a rookie, catching 45 passes for 561 yards and six touchdowns and also serving as a good kick and punt returner.

Given how well he played as a rookie and the team that he is on, Bryant could become one of the more popular fantasy receivers heading into 2011.

Zach Miller (Oakland Raiders)

Dealing with multiple injuries has affected Oakland Raiders tight end Zach Miller. It has not stopped him from playing, but he is clearly not his old self.

He hasn’t caught more than two passes in a game since Week 7 and has had single-digit receiving yards in four consecutive games. In three of the last four games, he’s caught just one pass.

Foot injuries do not heal overnight, especially for players who keep playing on them, so even though Miller has some favorable matchups the next two weeks it’s time to drop him.
