Fantasy Player Separation Anxiety

     Every person that is a sports fan has knowledge of certain players names.  Going into a draft, you look for those people.  Saints fan?  You might pick up Marques Colston, Drew Brees, even Lance Moore.  The season starts and you are thinking to yourself, "with Brees at QB, Colston is going to be a monster this season".  Colston gets 12 points in the first game.  Your intuition pays off.  Next game, he gets only 6 points.  Not what you are looking for, but it will get you by.  Two more games, 7 and 9 points respectively.  Still worth starting.  The next two games, he only manages 2 points combined.  You can slide by with 6 or 7 points, but 1 point will simply not do.  He is coming off a bye week and going up against a terrible Bills secondary.  Would you start him?  I have him starting in one league, and I believe he deserves one more chance.  But if Colston can not return to consistent numbers, I am not afraid to drop him if.  The go big or go home mentality is real.  Holding on to players for namesake is never a good idea unless there is literally no one on the waiver wire.  If you want a different example, I have dropped Roddy White.  No points and not healthy.  Someone else may pick him up, but I already have Harry Douglas who had 20 points last week in standard leagues and is healthy.  It is never easy to admit you made a mistake with a high pick, but sometimes it is the difference between winning or losing.
