Five NFL players to consider dropping after fantasy Week 1
Summary

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. These factors lead to tough roster decisions for fantasy players.
