Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone (34) tackles Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (27) during the second half at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday, November 2, 2025.

We're off and running with the tenth week of waiver wire pickups in fantasy football as Week 11 looms. But you might be thinking about which players on your roster to keep or to drop as you make those decisions.

That's what this weekly column -- a keep 'em or drop 'em debate -- aims to help with. We're going to focus on who you should hang on to or who you should definitely cut in order to pick up one of the intriguing names available.

A reminder to check out our weekly waiver wire post and our waiver wire tiers article with all the names you should look at picking up. Let's dive in with names to potentially drop or to keep.

And if you're wrestling with some add/drop decisions, let our own Christian D'Andrea and the Rhode Island Scumbag help you out with their weekly waiver wire ladders segment.

RB Jordan Mason, Minnesota Vikings

Sigh. Aaron Jones is back and has taken back over as RB1. And when Jones was injured, Mason wasn't particularly effective. Still, I say hold on in case Jones gets hurt again.

VERDICT: Keep him

WR Darnell Mooney, Atlanta Falcons

Yikes. He has one catch... in each of his past three games. The eight targets against the Colts are nice, but this is an easy call.

VERDICT: Drop him

QB Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Assuming you don't have an IR spot for him, I think it's time to let go. Seems like there's enough buzz about his relationship fracturing with the Cardinals that they may not play him again once he's healthy.

VERDICT: Drop him

RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Washington Commanders

Ugh, so much to the darling sleeper of 2025. I'll say you have to hold on just in case the offense opens up when Jayden Daniels returns, but I'm honestly on the fence.

VERDICT: Keep him

WR Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts

I think it's OK to drop him after a lackluster game. He's talented for sure, but he's fourth in the Colts passing pecking order -- Michael Pittman Jr., Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce are the top-three -- so let him go.

VERDICT: Drop him

WR DJ Moore, Chicago Bears

Between Colston Loveland emerging and Rome Odunze as WR1, it's time to let go.

VERDICT: Drop him

TE Mason Taylor, New York Jets

Besides Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson (when healthy), is there anyone worth rostering on the Jets?

VERDICT: Drop him
