Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire: Last-Minute Adds, Drops For Your Lineup
Week 7 of the NFL season started Thursday with the Green Bay Packers beating the Chicago Bears 26-10, but there still are 14 games left between Sunday and Monday.
That means fantasy football owners still have a chance to change their rosters for the upcoming slate of games. Here are some last-minute pickups and drops to bolster your lineup for Week 7.
ADDS
Chris Ivory, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Ivory received the majority of the carries in the Jaguars’ backfield in Week 6, and he also added a touchdown. He’s not a bad pickup if you’re desperate for running back depth, and his Week 7 matchup is against a bad Oakland Raiders defense.
James White, RB, New England Patriots
White’s fantasy value, as expected, has risen with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s return from suspension. He hauled in eight receptions for 47 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and he should be a factor in Week 7 against a mediocre Steelers defense. White is a must-add in PPR leagues.
Kenny Britt, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Britt has tallied 75 or more receiving yards in three straight games and in four of his last five. Rams quarterback Case Keenum threw for more than 300 yards in Week 6, and Britt was the primary beneficiary with a season-high seven catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Britt is the No. 1 receiver in the Rams’ offense and worth owning in PPR leagues.
Charles Clay, TE, Buffalo Bills
Clay has five receptions and at least 50 receiving yards in three straight games, which is pretty good production from a tight end considering how awful the position has been for fantasy owners this season. You could do much worse than Clay, especially in PPR formats.
DROPS
Brian Hoyer, QB, Chicago Bears
Hoyer broke his left arm in Thursday night’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, so he obviously should be dropped. It’s too bad, because Hoyer had four straight 300-yard games entering Week 7.
Phillip Dorsett, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Dorsett hasn’t caught more than three passes in a single game since Week 1, and he’s tallied 30 or fewer receiving yards in four of the last five games. The former first-round pick is neither productive nor consistent enough to justify owning.
