Unused Indexes

Hello,

I am using sql 2012 SE. I noticed there were lots of blocking on a subscriber database where an insert is blocking a bunch of selects and causing timeouts. I started looking at unused indexes based of pinal dave's unused index located at http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2011/01/04/sql-server-2008-unused-index-script-download/ 

Here are how the user seeks, scans, lookups and updates look for a few indexes.

Although the user seeks, user scans and userlookups are all 0 the user updates is definitely a lot. So I am not comfortable dropping these as they are being used somewhere. However I would like to know the inputs of experts if it is a good idea of dropping these indexes?

Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks
