Fantasy football managers, it’s that time again! Week 7 is upon us, and if you’re looking to strengthen your squad with some valuable waiver wire pickups, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll break down the top 10 waiver wire options for Week 7 based on expert insights from Tera Roberts’s latest video. Let’s dive in!
1. Josh Downs (WR – IND)
Josh Downs is our first recommendation for Week 7. Despite a somewhat lackluster performance, he managed to secure five receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. With Alec Pierce nursing an injury, Downs might see increased snaps and opportunities. Keep an eye on this emerging talent.
2. Rashee Rice (WR – KC)
Rashee Rice is a name to remember in Kansas City’s receiving corps. While his production has been modest, averaging four to five targets per game, he boasts a strong catch rate and has found the end zone twice this season. Consider Rice as a valuable bench stash with flex appeal, especially during bye weeks or in deeper leagues.
3. Jameson Williams (WR – DET)
Jameson Williams is a must-add on the waiver wire. With big-play potential, he recently notched his first touchdown of the season. Williams is poised for more opportunities on a solid team, making him a high-upside pickup for Week 7.
4. Rashid Shaheed (WR – NO)
Rashid Shaheed is a potential flex option with big-play potential. While he had lower fantasy points during Derek Carr‘s injury, Shaheed bounced back with a stellar performance of two receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown when Carr was fully recovered. This suggests he could be a game-changer in the right matchups.
5. Craig Reynolds (RB – DET)
Craig Reynolds should remain relevant as long as Montgomery is sidelined.
6. Curtis Samuel (WR – WAS)
Curtis Samuel is emerging as a strong fantasy asset. He had a solid performance in Week 6 and has been one of Sam Howell‘s favorite targets of late.
7. Jordan Mason (RB – SF) and Elijah Mitchell (RB – SF)
The situation for replacing Christian McCaffrey is uncertain. Jordan Mason showed promise in Weeks 5 and 6, but it’s unclear if he will be the preferred backup. If Christian McCaffrey is out, Elijah Mitchell should be your priority add. Despite his injury history, Mitchell earned the RB1 role as a rookie and performed well alongside McCaffrey. If McCaffrey is sidelined, Mitchell will likely have the bulk of the workload. Stay tuned to the latest news for any indications of who might step into this role.
In conclusion, Week 7 offers some intriguing waiver wire options to bolster your fantasy football roster. Whether you’re looking for a potential breakout star or a reliable flex option, these players have the potential to make a significant impact on your team. Be sure to act swiftly, as these gems may not stay on the waiver wire for long. Good luck with your pickups, and may your team dominate in Week 7!
