A waiver wire is one of the most important moments for all general managers of Fantasy Football. It’s the perfect opportunity to fix what’s not working on your team. And with six weeks of past disputes, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for general managers to make changes to their rosters to replace players, whether due to injuries – which has been a milestone this season in the NFL -, due to their position in the table or seeing that some players may not perform as expected next week.
However, a good GM has to study the possibilities very well to reach the best adds. A wrong decision can resonate with the rest of the dispute in your Fantasy league. That’s why the The Playoffs has done his homework and indicates the best options from now on for week 7 of the season.
Of course, to be eligible for this list, players must be free in less than 50% of the Fantasy Football leagues on NFL.com – the most famous Fantasy Football app – so it is possible that the names mentioned here are in a higher percentage teams in other apps like Yahoo, ESPN and Sleeper – but the trend is for the average to be similar.
Remembering that the game style we are analyzing is Standard / Non-PPR (when there is no score for reception), again for being the most famous model in the game. See tips for waiver wire of your league for this week.

Travis Fulgham – wide receiver – Philadelphia Eagles (23,4% owned*)
The until then unknown Philly receiver has caught the attention of the Eagles and has been on the radar of many Fantasy Football GMs because of their performances since week 4 of the 2020 NFL season, when he was promoted from practice squad from the Pennsylvania team due to the lack of wide receivers in the depth chart.
Since then, Travis Fulgham has been one of the Philadelphia names to enter the end zone. Against the Ravens’ strong defense, shirt 13 received six passes for 75 yards and a touchdown, averaging 12.5 yards per reception. Before that, against the Steelers, there had been ten shots taken for 152 yards and one TD. And now the match is against the New York Giants, who besides having a negative record of 1-5 – oh, NFC East -, have not had a great year in defense against the pass.
So, the best name for you who need a WR in week 7, Fulgham should be a sure choice with teams being affected by poor performances or bye week.
* Percentage of teams in the official NFL Fantasy leagues that have this athlete in the squad
Christian Kirk – wide receiver – Arizona Cardinals (40,6% owned)
Captain Kirk of Arizona passed 20 points against the Cowboys’ defense. Of course, she was a mother on the last Monday Night Football, but her two receptions resulted in 86 yards and two trips to the end zone. And a lot of that was due to the mark that DeAndre Hopkins suffered throughout the game, as he is Kyler Murray’s main target.
Against the Seahawks the game promises to be even more catchy and Kirk may have other good opportunities to reach the promised land and score more good points in Fantasy. Christian Kirk should be the second most popular name in the recipient group against the NFC West rival, so add him to your roster if your league has few options. However, it is worth remembering that, like every player caught in waivers, the risk must be accounted for.

Keelan Cole – wide receiver – Jacksonville Jaguars (18,9% owned)
DJ Chark is the best name in the Jaguars’ receiving group in 2020. However, Cole has been a recurring target for Gardner Minshew in the Jacksonville franchise attack, especially against the Lions, for week 6, when the wide receiver picked up the ball six times for 143 yards, in addition to adding three TDs in six matches a year.
Even with ups and downs, the player is a good name to have on the bench during a need and should be an interesting flex option if there is a need to put him in this week’s Fantasy Football contest. Even more with the certain instability that the secondary of the Chargers has to mark the rival wide receivers this year.

Darren Fells – tight end – Houston Texans (2,4% owned)
The veteran tight end has shown a lot of service since Bill O’Brien was fired from the Texans’ head coach and has been one of the top scorers in the position. Last week, against Tennessee’s good defense, Fells six receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown to score 14.50 points in Fantasy Football.
His production grows more and more and Deshaun Watson has had good balls of confidence within the red zone with cmaisa 87. Of course, Darren Fells position is one of the most difficult to find a good talent outside the Kittle-Kelce axis . When the morale of players who are not remembered by many GMs in the game grow, it is good to take the opportunity so that he can be faithful in the balance when it comes to winning his matchup.
Tee Higgins – wide receiver – Cincinnati Bengals (26% owned)
Look at me here again talking about Tee Higgins. And that is because the freshman has increasingly gained the trust of coach Zac Taylor and quarterback Joe Burrow, even without going into the end zone since week 3.
Against Indianapolis Colts he had six receptions for 125 yards and almost 13 points. The young man has been slowly taking over the space that once belonged to AJ Green and is expected to maintain a good average against the Cleveland Browns next weekend. Of course, to get even better, the wideout all you have to do is get a ball or two to enter the promised land, which in addition to making the Cincinnati Bengals fan happy, will make the general manager of Fantasy Football bet on him with a smile on his face.

Trey Burton – tight end – Indianapolis Colts (0,6% owned)
Yes, I know the Colts are in bye week, but you will wait a whole week to get a name that is expected to be contested by many GMs, since since debuting in the 2020 NFL season, shirt 80 has been one of Philip Rivers’ best friends on the pitch.
Trey Burton is another beautiful option in the tight end position and who, even sharing snaps with Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox, had against Bengals four receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown, adding almost 18 points. It is another name that should gain even more chances over the weeks and, if Rivers manages to fit his game, TE’s should take off even more and even become a good bargaining chip in some time.
