Early pickups for Week 7: Who to target on waive wire

Well, he put up big numbers again. Still, Woods is the top receiver in the offense, and the Dolphins are an enticing matchup in Week 7. This week, Hopkins and the Texans draw a stout Denver Broncos defense facing a quarterback it knows more than any other in the league in a game with the week’s second-lowest projected point total. Kaepernick threw for 187 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 66 yards. The Colts have allowed multiple touchdown passes in three straight games. Even as the Jets have struggled, Marshall has averaged 10 fantasy points a game in his last five, with seven or more points in four of those games. He caught three passes for 52 yards and a score last week. In Week 5, however, it was Cooper with the 12 targets to go with 138 yards receiving and one TD against the Chargers. He dinks and dunks when defenses have to cover the entire field, but once the Bears get in the red zone and coverage tightens, Hoyer has no answers.

Considering the Cards have the fifth-ranked defense and Seattle is No. 1, this is not a great fantasy matchup for either team. However, free agent acquisition Mike Wallace didn’t help much either. Published on Tuesday, the Running Back Workload is only hours removed from Monday Night Football, and day removed from Sunday. That is why Mark Ingram needs to be in your lineup as well. He obliterated the Pittsburgh Steelers nearly by himself, gaining 204 yards on 25 carries.

Landry is a fine player, but he has Ryan Tannehill throwing to him against a team with a game plan to limit his opportunities. That would suggest the Bengals should score about 27 points.

This could be a very sneaky great add for your fantasy football team and here’s why: He’s going to play and play a lot with James Starks out for at least four weeks and with Eddie Lacy hobbled with an ankle injury. Rivers makes for an interesting DFS play with the upside of playing indoors on turf as well. Murray has a legitimate shot at being the highest-scoring fanatsy back in Week 7.

Carson Wentz (QB – PHI) vs Vikings: For the same reason that his TE is listed in the “sit” column, Wentz is as well. The Vikings are allowing just 13.0 FPPG on NFL.com and have allowed just four passing touchdowns.

Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins: A better fantasy QB than real life and gets the Lions who made Case Keenum look like Joe Montana. “I mean, you can”.

Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars vs.

But we are discussing all the important injury situations that you’ll need to track and looking into what the matchups might reveal. He won’t find the Broncos’ fourth-ranked defense almost as accommodating. They’ve allowed just one receiver touchdown on the year with 10.2 FPPG against them. Let’s take a look at this week’s match-ups and talk about the top options to start or keep on the bench.

Don’t be so quick to write off the best receiver in football just because his quarterback is hurt. Dalton has a chance to bump up his touchdown total by 50 percent or more Sunday, especially if tight end Tyler Eifert can finally make his debut.

Marcus Mariota, TEN (60%) – Those who reaped the rewards of streaming Mariota last week will want to hang on to the man.

Vernon Davis, WSH (4%) – This is contingent on Jordan Reed missing Week 7 due to his concussion. He is not the traditional running back but New England doesn’t run a traditional offense.

Jack Doyle (11 percent): The Colts tight end got off to a solid start this season, with two touchdowns in Week 1.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware is having one of the biggest break out years in the NFL. Already a running back with above average pass catching skills, White exploded last week against Cincinnati, scoring twice on eight catches and seven rushes. On the other hand, the Ravens run defense has been dominant, making Matt Forte and Bilal Powell riskier than usual with the shared backfield.
