Sounds like McNichols might be cut. Is he worth holding on to?

Some players on the WW:
Danny Amendola
Josh Reynolds
Rico Gathers
Adam Shaheen
Corey Grant
Chad Hansen
Trent Taylor
Corey Clement
Elijah Hood
Shaun Draughn
Bruce Ellington

That's a weak backfield and he couldn't even get preseason snaps. Move on.

I'm asking the same question in another thread and I'm assuming yeah, go ahead and drop him, of course, depending on who's available, roster settings, etc.

Gonna be a ton of players cut soon. Might end up in a better situation. Maybe not right back for Koetter but could be an option elsewhere.

I'd be okay with dropping him for a need or higher upside option though.

Omg how could metrics go this wrong!?!? Rotoviz loved this guy. He came back late from surgery and is having a hard time picking up the playbook. I would still hold before u drop if possible.

This is a complete surprise to see him to do bad his metrics were good and he had some hype that is why i drafted him in third round in june. He was my first pick because i did not have a first or second round pick and i needed badly a rb. Cannot drop him cause all the interesting rb in my league are already drafted i will leave him in the practice squade this year. i do not want to make a trade for a rb because my leaguesmates will make me overpay a lot just for an average rb lol. Just hope now i will have a bad year and have a chance to draft barkley ou guice next year

Appreciate this post hailstate...saw it last night. Couple of weeks ago an owner sent me an offer of T sieman for Mcnichols...well last night I sent that same offer to him and got him to throw in Chad Kelley..(I own Paxton Lynch). So locked up the Denver QB spot for free

Regardless of where he ends up in the grand scheme of things, cutting him this early in a dynasty league is just bad form. Coach's tend to say many things at this point in the year for player motivation, etc. I would be shocked if he was cut.

I drafted McNichols at 3.7 in my rookie draft, and am still hoping for the best. If you drafted him in dynasty, you couldn't possibly hope to get anything out of him anytime soon. If you did, it would be a major bonus. I happen to love Boise St backs, as most recently Doug Martin and Ajayi came through to the NFL, so I will see McNichols out. He has a high ceiling.

I have to cut down to 17 players before week 1. Was originally debating between him and Henderson as my 17th player. Now it's probably between Henderson and Mitchell, in light of the Edelman injury. I drafted McNichols at 2.11 back in May, so it's a bummer to give up on him so soon, but with our shallow rosters, I just can't really justify keeping him. He's definitely someone I'll keep on my watch list though.

Formulas can't account for what goes on between someone's ears, unfortunately.

I'm still surprised though that Tampa would be willing to cut their 5th round pick before he even hits the field. But, I guess it's possible they could stash him on the practice squad or something if he clears waivers.

Martin
Rodgers
Sims
Peyton Barber
McNichols

They aren’t keeping 5. And Peyton has played over McNichols every preseason game.
