Week 7 Waiver Wire Priorities: Top Fantasy Football Pickups for 2025

Week 7 Waiver Wire Analysis

• 🚨 The Week 7 waiver wire is described as a "doozy" and "stupendous," with a notable lack of healthy, high-tier wide receivers.
• 💡 The scarcity of top receivers is attributed to a long list of injuries, making the waiver wire particularly challenging for that position.

Top Waiver Wire Priorities

• 🎯 Kimani Vidal is highlighted as a potential starting running back and a strong waiver wire pickup.
• 🎯 Harold Fannin Jr. is identified as a priority tight end pickup, especially given his favorable upcoming matchups against teams ranked 31st and 32nd against the position.
• 🎯 Zonovan Knight is considered a potential flex option, despite splitting carries and facing a tough schedule, with potential upside if the team is trailing.

Running Back Situation and Injuries

• 🏃‍♂️ The running back landscape features two potential starting options, with Vidal being a more certain pickup and Knight being a potential contributor.
• ⚠️ The potential return of Kyler Murray could impact the rushing opportunities for Cardinals running backs, affecting both Knight and Michael Carter.
• ⏳ The return of Trey Benson is expected in Week 10, meaning any pickups at the running back position might be short-term rentals, especially if Benson's return is delayed.

Positional Weaknesses

• 🏈 Wide receivers are particularly scarce due to numerous injuries, making it difficult to find reliable options.
• ❓ Tight ends like Mason Taylor are being considered due to target opportunities left by injured receivers, with favorable matchups ahead.
• 📈 The overall quality of the waiver wire is deemed "interesting" rather than "good," with a focus on running backs and tight ends over receivers and quarterbacks.
