Waiver Wire Pickups for a Successful Fantasy Football Season

The NFL is a “next man up” league, and your fantasy football team should be no exception. With injuries and bye weeks looming, it’s essential to stay ahead of the curve and pick up players who can make an impact on your roster. Here are some waiver wire pickups to consider for Week 7 and beyond.

Wide Receivers to Target

With Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. exiting Sunday’s game with a concussion, fantasy managers should look to grab Michael Wilson (14.2% rostered). Wilson has had six-plus targets in three of his last four games and has scored double-digit fantasy points in all of those games.

Other wide receivers to consider include:

• Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (49.1% rostered): Downs has had nine-plus targets and scored at least 16 fantasy points in three straight games.
• JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kansas City Chiefs (17.8% rostered): Smith-Schuster led the Chiefs’ wide receivers with eight targets and scored 20 fantasy points in Week 5.
• Romeo Doubs (29.6%) and Christian Watson (44.6%), Green Bay Packers: Both Doubs and Watson have been productive in the Packers’ offense and have favorable matchups ahead.

Quarterbacks to Consider

With bye weeks approaching, fantasy managers may need to look for alternative quarterbacks to fill their lineup. Here are some options to consider:

• Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears (50.1% rostered): Williams has scored 17-plus fantasy points in three of his past four games and has a favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 8.
• Jared Goff, Detroit Lions (46.4% rostered): Goff has scored 25-plus fantasy points in two straight games and has a strong supporting cast.
• Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (45.4% rostered): Darnold has favorable matchups ahead and could be a solid streaming option.

Running Backs to Target

With injuries and bye weeks affecting running back depth charts, here are some players to consider picking up:

• Tyrone Tracy Jr., New York Giants (45.1% rostered): Tracy had a standout game in Week 6 and could lead the Giants’ committee moving forward.
• Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (44.1% rostered): Bigsby would lead the committee if Travis Etienne Jr. misses time and has standalone value.
• Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (43.2% rostered): Gibson had a decent outing in Week 6 and could
