Deep League Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

Tavarres King – WR – New York Giants (0% owned) Ran the second most routes for the Giants, should see decent targets as long as Sterling is out

Laquon Treadwell – WR – Minnesota Vikings (1% owned) 3 targets, 3 receptions, 51 yards with Diggs out

TJ Jones – WR – Detroit Lions (0% owned) 8 targets, 3 receptions, 33 yards. Looks like Tate could miss some time giving Jones a boost

Chris Moore – WR – Baltimore Ravens (0% owned) 7 targets, 3 receptions, 44 yards with Maclin out

Kasen Williams – WR – Cleveland Browns (0% owned) 6 targets, 4 receptions, 41 yards with Britt out

C.J. Beathard – QB – San Francisco 49ers (0% owned) Went 19-36 for 245 yards 1 TD, 1 IN against Washington. Hoyer was benched, Beathard could be worth picking up in deep 2 QB leagues.



Week 7 Waiver Wire Monday Night Special

Marlon Mack – RB – Indianapolis Colts (45% owned)

Lets dive in to those week 7 waiver wire pickups! There are a number of options you may be able to pick up even before the Monday night game starts, so take a look at them first (such as Darren McFadden on a bye). Players appearing in my weekly waiver wire article are owned in 50% or fewer of Yahoo leagues.No matter what you read about the Ezekiel Elliott situation one thing is for sure, no one has a CLUE what is going to happen next. Not just daily, but hourly it seems we receive conflicting reports as lawyers expend all options on both sides, leaving fantasy analysts to dive deeper into legal proceedings than ever before. At this time it seems likely the Zeke suspension will stand heading into week 7 which leads to our next dilemma, who starts in Dallas? Once again no one is sure with camps split equally between DMC and Morris.If I had to choose, I’d cautiously lean towards DMC having a more similar skillset to Zeke being the reason they held him out, meaning I expect him to take over the lead back roll if Elliott’s suspension stands. How sure am I? Well I also picked upin my 12 team league as I wait for official news out of Cowboys camp. If you can afford the bench space I’d recommend grabbing both players until we receive more concrete word on who the starter will be. Whichever player does win the starting job should be a terrific RB2 for as long as Elliott is out.Orleans Darkwa drew another start for the Giants, this time against the best run defense in the NFL the Denver Broncos (allowing just 50 rushing yards per game). Darkwa gained nearly that number with a 47 yard carry in the first half en route to 21 carries for 118 yards with an additional reception for 13 yards. The Giants don’t figure to be playing with the lead often this season, and Orleans is still in a RBBC with Wayne Gallman (36% owned) but Darkwa is the better add for running back needy owners with a thin waiver wire available this week.He’s old, often injured, and stuck in another RBBC, but as long as Bilal Powell remains out Forte has plenty to offer 12+ team leagues as he caught 8 passes for 59 yards against the Patriots. On the ground Forte (9 carries for 22 yards) split pretty evenly with Elijah McGuire (10 carries for 22 yards), but keep in mind Matt is still listed as the top running back on the Jets depth chart. As long as he can avoid the dreaded turf toe Forte will be an advisable flex start in week 7 against the Dolphins if Powell remains out.Corey Davis appears to be getting closer to a return for the Titans. He’s been sidelined since week 2 against the Jaguars, but his week 1 ten target, 6 reception, 69 yard performance is a glimpse of the upside he could offer as Eric Decker has been nearly non-existent to this point for Tennessee. While everyone else is rushing to scoop up Mike Williams I’d be looking to Corey Davis as the preferred wide receiver stash off the week 7 waiver wire.The Denver Broncos experienced Giants-like injuries to their WR corps on Sunday night as Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Isaiah McKenzie all suffered injuries (Thomas did eventually return). Sanders was carted off which means there is likely to be a WR2 sized hole on the Broncos depth chart when they face the Chargers in week 7. Bennie is basically a deep league only waiver wire pickup, but I wanted to bring him to everyone’s attention as the best of the deep league bunch.Some league settings (most notably allowed in many Yahoo leagues) allow you to drop a bench player who has already played for a free agent. This works out to a free waiver wire pickup for week 7. If your add doesn’t work out you can drop them once waivers run on Wednesday!Widely rumored to be the recipient of more carries this week, Mack should be the top speculative add ahead of Monday night football if you play in a league that allows you to pick him up. If you can’t get Mack, look for Jack Doyle – TE (40% owned)
