Most Dropped Players In Dynasty Fantasy Football: Quinn Ewers, Devin Singletary And More

We're back and taking a look at the Most Added/Dropped tab for those who play on Sleeper. If you want to look at the players most added, please check out my most recent article. Now it's time to review the players who are being dropped the most in these leagues and how you as a dynasty player should approach them.

Most Dropped Players in Sleeper Dynasty Fantasy Football Leagues

Quinn Ewers | QB | Dolphins

A seventh-round pick out of Texas a season ago, Quinn Ewers got the opportunity to start the final three games of the 2025 season. All things considered, he wasn't terrible

190 passing yards per game
3 total passing TDs
3 total INTs
6 sacks / 0 fumbles

However, once they moved on from Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins quickly pivoted and signed Malik Willis to a three-year contract worth over $67 million. That leaves Ewers as nothing more than a speculative backup option in deep superflex formats.

Even if Ewers got the opportunity to start, it's not as if Miami is brimming with talented skill-position players outside of De'Von Achane. That's been one of our biggest concerns about Willis' value this season. However, Willis offers a decent rushing floor to boost his weekly fantasy floor and that is something Ewers just does not have.

Unless you roster Willis in a superflex dynasty league, there is no reason for you to spend a roster spot on Ewers at this time.

Emanuel Wilson | RB | Seahawks

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 and 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. Ride with as the offseason continues to unfold.

Devin Singletary | RB | Giants

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.

Brashard Smith | RB | Chiefs

This one stings a bit, as I was unnaturally optimistic about Brashard Smith during his rookie campaign. A seventh-round pick, Smith appeared in all 17 games yet tallied only 44 rushing attempts and averaged a pedestrian 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 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 | RB | Giants

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 8 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.
