Roster management is the single most crucial in-season task for fantasy football players. Just as important as adding the right players is knowing when players need to go. Which players find themselves on our Week 12 fantasy football cut list?

Lets go position by position and pinpoint players that no longer need to be on your fantasy roster. Which fantasy quarterbacks are on the Week 12 cut list?

Its time to admit that the Ryan Tannehill we saw on the Dolphins for all those years more closely resembles the true Tannehill. Hes far from the worst starting quarterback in the league, but I would definitely pause at the notion of calling him good.

From a fantasy perspective, Tannehill is definitively not good. Hes currently overall QB15 on the season, averaging 17.5 fantasy points per game. The problem is hes just a floor play. Youll get about 13-19 points each week. All but three of his starts have landed in that range. With the Patriots up next and a bye week to follow, theres no reason to hold Tannehill.

Which fantasy RBs should be cut heading into Week 12? Theres plenty of dead weight at the position.

Was Adrian Peterson worth every bit of the FAAB you spent on him? Absolutely. Is it time to admit it didnt work out? Absolutely.

In his three games with the Titans, Peterson hasnt played more than 33% of the snaps. Hes averaging a paltry 3 yards per carry and his highest fantasy point total is 9.6. Its no news that AP is washed, but hes like the fully loaded deal at the car wash now. You can safely drop him.

Jordan Howard sprained his knee in the Eagles victory over the Saints last week. Howard was already a shaky hold after Miles Sanders return. Now that hes set to miss a couple of weeks, theres no reason to hang onto him.

You can safely release Howard.

Every week, the Seahawks open the game by pounding Alex Collins. And every week, fantasy managers watch this thinking, Alright, this is good. Then, every week, the same thing happens Collins barely touches the ball in the second half.

Collins has been remarkably consistent. Hes carried the ball exactly 10 times in three straight games for yardage totals of 36, 41, and 44. The only chance he has at fantasy value is if he falls into the end zone, but that role went to DeeJay Dallas last week. The only value in Collins is if you need an RB to not get you zero. Hes not getting you more than 5 fantasy points. Let him go.

With news of his return, Jamaal Williams was added back to many fantasy rosters. Go ahead and return him. Williams is nothing more than DAndre Swifts backup now.

Last week, Williams played just 27% of the offensive snaps. He carried the ball 7 times for 11 yards. Swift played 73% of the offensive snaps and carried the ball 14 times for 136 yards and a touchdown. Williams carries no fantasy value.

Which fantasy wide receivers are on the Week 12 cut list? A few veterans and a player affected by injury top the list.

This one hurts. Jamal Agnew was such a great story this year. He emerged from relative obscurity to become a purposeful part of the Jaguars offense.

Unfortunately, Agnew suffered a season-ending hip injury in Week 11. He can safely be released from fantasy rosters, and we wish him a speedy recovery.

On Monday night, Daniel Jones attempted 38 passes. He threw two of them in Kenny Golladays direction.

Since returning from injury, Golladay has seen a grand total of 4 targets in two games. He scored 17.6 PPR fantasy points in Week 4. His highest scoring output the rest of the season is 8.4. His past two games? 1.7 and 3.8. Golladay may still be talented, but his quarterback is incapable of getting him the ball. He has no fantasy value.

Since returning from injured reserve, T.Y. Hilton has played in four games. In those games, hes recorded fantasy totals of 12, 3.6, 1.5, and 4.6. Last week, he played just 41% of the offensive snaps.

Its over for Hilton. He had a great career, and I was always a fan of him as a talent. But at age 32, he just doesnt have it anymore and can safely be cut.
