Quarterback

Justin Fields

Fields has fallen under the radar due to averaging less than 20 passing attempts per game. A lackluster passing game and weak offense is usually a sign to stay away from this player. However, Fields is a master at the fantasy cheat code of quarterback rushes. Fields is third behind Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts in rushing attempts. This rushing game gives Fields a great baseline that can be boosted due to a rushing touchdown or passing touchdowns. This upcoming matchup for Fields could lead to fantasy greatness. The Patriots have the 5th worst rushing defense in the NFL and were torched by the rushing ability of Lamar Jackson. Fields has the ability to offer a nearly 10 point floor due to his rushing upside. -Anthony Yip

Jared Goff

There is a good chance that Goff is available in your league. He had a poor performance in Week 5 and was on bye in Week 6. However, in two of the three weeks leading up to Week 5, Goff delivered a QB8, and most recently, a QB1 performance in Week 4. The matchup this week vs. Dallas doesn’t look the best on paper, but Detroit should be as healthy as they’ve been in quite a while. Stud WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and RB D’Andre Swift are expected back in the lineup. That should make the offense much more reliable. And with Dak Prescott presumably back (another one you need to be checking on if your league doesn’t have an IR spot), the Lions could find themselves in another one of their patented shootouts. -Ryan Stern

Running back

Rachaad White

There is arguably no greater handcuff in fantasy football right now than Rachaad White. The clear #2 Running back on the team, White has had his usage increase as the season continues. If Leonard Fournette were to go down, White would have a stranglehold on the position. This potential opportunity mixed with a good offense is reason enough to stash White. This week does not feature a lot of plug and play talent. However, stashing White, especially if you have Fournette, could be a league winner. -AY

Latavius Murray

There are a lot of head scratching decisions being made in Denver this season. Javonte Williams was clearly the most talented RB in the Mile High City. Yet, he saw an inordinate amount of snaps go Melvin Gordon’s way. Now that Williams is out for the year, you would assume the lion’s share of opportunities would be handed to Gordon. This has been disproven over the last two weeks. In the Broncos’ Week 6 defeat to the Chargers, Latavius Murray out-snapped Gordon in the 2nd half 22-0. Mike Boone also found himself in on 9 snaps. Now, with the possibility of Russell Wilson missing some time, they will be relying on the running game even more. Murray is a must-add. -RS

Wide Receiver

Wan’Dale Robinson

Robinson played his first game since his knee injury in Week 1. The rookie only played 16 snaps but was incredible on the field. He was targeted on 25% of his routes. This is an elite number that rivals top wide receivers in the league. He led the team in targets and has unknown upside due to his inexperience in the NFL. Rather than take a shot on an older player, acquire a young rookie who has shown to be a major aspect in this offense. After only playing 16 snaps due to returning from injury, his snap count is bound to increase. -AY

Chase Claypool

This is a weird week for waiver wire receivers. My #1 waiver-add for all wide receivers would still be Alec Pierce. However, I listened to my own advice and snatched him up where I could. So this week, I’m turning to someone who was drafted in most leagues, and dropped in over half of them. Claypool has turned in two solid weeks in a row. He started getting re-acclimated to the Steeler offense in Week 5, and was the focal point in Week 6. He caught all 7 of his targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the shocking win over Tampa Bay. There’s never been any doubt as to the talents Claypool brings to the field. He just needs consistency (and a better QB). -RS

Tight End

Robert Tonyan

The tight end position has been a rollercoaster ride again this year. Sometimes, one of the best waiver wire streaming options is to stay with the hot hand. Tonyan had 10 catches against the Jets in an incredible performance. Tonyan will not repeat this week in and week out. However, it is proven that he is still a safety valve for Aaron Rodgers. His weekly touchdown upside is also there as he approaches a weak Commanders defense. And now with the injury to Randall Cobb, his involvement should be solidified. -AY

Daniel Bellinger

The Giants have been the surprise of the NFL season so far. One of the reasons has been the consistency of their rookie tight end, Daniel Bellinger. Rookie tight ends drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft don’t always pan out in their first season. Rookie tight ends taken in the fourth round sometimes don’t see the field at all. Yet Coach Brian Daboll has shown tremendous faith in the first-year player out of San Diego State. He has given fantasy owners double digit games each of the last two weeks, and has three touchdowns already on the year. He’s not going to provide a ton of upside, but his involvement in the offense won’t allow him to give you a goose. -RS

Defense

Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals are a great addition during this waiver period. Their next three games are against the Falcons, Browns, Panthers, and Steelers. These matchups are all anemic offenses who have struggled at the quarterback position. When deciding a defense, it is best to bet against the opposing offense. This defense could potentially cover the position for the next four weeks. -AY

Miami Dolphins

The Pittsburgh Steelers have allowed a Top 12 defensive performance in four out of six games so far on the season. They are in the top half of the league in sacks allowed, and top 8 in giveaways and fewest points scored. There’s just a solid baseline for a defense against them, with a huge upside. -RS

The post Week 7: Waiver Wire Report appeared first on Back Sports Page.

Quarterback

Daniel Jones

The Giants have shocked the NFL world this season, most recently beating the Packers. A major part of that is Daniel Jones and how he has improved his protection of the ball. Jones has also been surprisingly great for Fantasy on select weeks. Jones’ rushing game gives him a built in baseline that prevents those horrific fantasy performances. Jones is only behind Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields in QB rushing attempts on the season. With any type of positive regression in passing touchdowns, Jones can be a streaming target any given week. -Anthony Yip

Jimmy Garoppolo

The Atlanta Falcons have given up a top 10 QB finish four out of five games so far this season, with Jacoby Brissett the only one failing to produce. Jameis Winston, Matthew Stafford, Geno Smith, and Tom Brady have all feasted on this defense. The Falcons also just traded Pro Bowl linebacker, Deion Jones, to Cleveland. Garoppolo has thrown for over 200 yards and at least one touchdown in each of his starts so far. He offers a very safe floor, along with a top 10 upside playing against Atlanta. -Ryan Stern

Running back

Kenneth Walker

The #1 waiver pickup of this week is Kenneth Walker. Lead running back Rashaad Penny has broken his leg. In his absence, rookie Kenneth Walker will hold the reins of the run first offense. Walker won the Walter Camp Award in college, as he dominated at Michigan State. His talent is there and with Penny a free agent this offseason, the backfield appears to be his for the future.

The offense has been impressive, averaging a couple more points than last year’s team with Russell Wilson. Walker will have goal line carries and a major workload on this team. If he is on the Waivers he is a must add and is an RB2 until further notice. -AY

Eno Benjamin

While there’s a 50% chance that Walker is already rostered, the same cannot be said for Eno Benjamin. Available in close to 90% of Yahoo leagues, Benjamin will be the go-to guy should starter James Conner be forced to miss time. His numbers don’t look great, but he looks far more explosive when you compare him to Conner. He should also give a safe floor in PPR leagues as he is an accomplished pass catcher. Plus, the matchup with Seattle is juicy. -RS

Wide Receiver

Jakobi Meyers

Jakobi Meyers shined on Sunday after missing two weeks due to an injury. Meyers is currently leading the team in targets and is an integral part of the offense. In a PPR format, Meyers is a flex play nearly every week. The future matchups of the Bengals, Bears and Jets appear juicy on paper. If you have belief in the New England Offense, Meyers will be a center point of the passing game. -AY

Alec Pierce

While the passing game as a whole has looked nauseating at times in Indianapolis, Pierce has quietly been very consistent over the previous three games. He has amassed at least three catches, five targets, and 61 yards during that span, peaking at 8 catches on 9 targets for 81 yards last week vs. Denver. He has supplanted himself as the WR2 for the Colts. As the 2nd round rookie receives more reps, he should only find himself more involved. -RS

Tight End

Taysom Hill

What a performance this weekend. I would not expect a four touchdown performance from Hill every week. However, few Tight Ends have the ability to hit this mark. With Winston’s absence, the Saints utilized Hill in short yardage and goal line situations. Hill ran for three and passed for another touchdown. Having 9 touches in a game is very high usage for the Tight End position. With Winston back, his touchdown upside goes down. However, with injuries to other targets, Hill will be needed in this offense in many ways. -AY

Evan Engram

Engram finally found himself as a focal point of the Jaguar offense. His 10 targets led the team in Week 5 vs. Houston. He brought in 6 of those for 69 yards. The Indianapolis defense is currently 29th against tight ends, and Engram already boasts a 7 reception game against the Colts this season. With players like Darren Waller and TJ Hockenson on byes, plus injuries to Pat Freiermuth, Dalton Schultz, and Kyle Pitts could leave players searching for a spot start. -RS

Defense

Chicago Bears

With four teams on Bye, the Waiver wire is slimmer in defensive streaming options than previously. One matchup stands out for the week. The Chicago Bears take on the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Carson Wentz has been sacked an average of four times every game. These extra points, along with the Commanders’ anemic offensive showing gives confidence to the Bears’ defense. The Bears are expected to be run heavy and have yet to allow a team to hit 30 points against them. -AY

Jacksonville Jaguars

Once again, we will be picking on the Indianapolis Colts. Defenses playing the Colts have finished in the top 13 every single week so far, including two top 5 finishes. In Week 2, these Jaguars ended up as the #2 defense on the week. Last week, Denver got to Matt Ryan 6 times along with picking him off twice. -RS
