Week 7 Waiver Wire: Top Fantasy Football Pickups for Every Position

Quarterback Recommendations

• 🎯 Aaron Rodgers is the top quarterback pick for Week 7 due to his matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 📈 Jackson Dart is highlighted as a long-term play, with a favorable three-game stretch against the Eagles, 49ers, and Bears after Week 7.
• 🤔 Bryce Young faces a challenging matchup against the Jets, who have a solid defense against opposing quarterbacks, despite his recent performances.

Running Back Targets

• 🌟 Vidal is ranked as the number one waiver wire running back, followed by Knight and Tai Spears.
• ⏳ Bam Knight is widely available, rostered in only 88% of leagues, making him an accessible option.
• 🏃‍♂️ Tai Spears' role with the Titans is uncertain as long as Pardee stays healthy, but he could see significant touches, especially in the passing game.
• 🏥 Aaron Jones is expected to miss one more game and return in Week 8 after being on IR.

Wide Receiver Options

• 🚀 Iquan Booty is the top receiver pick, noted for his high snap percentage and the potential for sustained performance with Drake Maye.
• 💡 Josh Downs has shown encouraging involvement in the last two games with at least six catches each.
• 🏈 Jaylen Coker is a player to consider if he returns this week, offering potential over other less certain options, especially against a favorable schedule.
• 💥 The Lions-Buccaneers game is circled for its high total (52.5), suggesting potential for strong passing performances, particularly against the Lions' banged-up secondary.
• 💨 Tez Johnson is favored among the Buccaneers' receivers (excluding Evans and Godwin) due to his speed and an 84% route rate, though Shepard and Cameron Johnson are also options.
• 🤕 The Lions' secondary is dealing with injuries, including potential absences for Brian Branch and Terrion Arnold, which could benefit Tampa Bay's receivers.
• ❓ If Mike Evans plays, it creates uncertainty about which other Buccaneers receiver (Cameron or Tez Johnson) might see reduced snaps.
• 🌟 Kendrick Bourne is a strong waiver wire consideration if available, potentially ranking as the top receiver due to his recent performance and the 49ers' receiver situation.

Tight End Streamers

• 💪 Harold Fannon is the top tight end to pick up off waivers.
• 🎯 Cade Otton and Mason Taylor round out the top three tight end options.
• ❓ Michael Mayer and Chigoziem Okonkwo are considered one-week rentals due to potential future roster changes or bye weeks.

DST and Kicker Picks

• 🛡️ The Kansas City Chiefs DST is recommended for Week 7 against the Raiders, given Geno Smith's turnover issues.
• 🌊 The Seattle Seahawks DST is available in many leagues and faces a winnable matchup against Houston.
• 🦵 For kickers, Chris Boswell against Cincinnati, Jason Myers at home, and Josh Cardi are suggested plays.
