Following Week 1 of the NFL season, several players are underperforming, prompting fantasy football managers to consider cuts. Daniel Jones of the Indianapolis Colts had a disappointing game, recording one touchdown and one interception. Chris Rodriguez Jr. from the Jacksonville Jaguars managed only six carries, falling behind others in a sizable victory. Rachaad White of the Washington Commanders struggled with just two targets and limited opportunities. De'Zhaun Stribling of the San Francisco 49ers is expected to be out at least a month due to an ankle injury, while Rashid Shaheed of the Seattle Seahawks has lost value following an injury to Sam Darnold.
