A waiver wire it 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 eight weeks of past disputes, half of the NFL season has arrived – everything good goes fast – so it’s becoming increasingly difficult for GMs to make changes to their rosters to replace players, whether due to injuries, positioning in the table or because they see that some athletes may not perform as expected next week.
However, a good general manager has to study the possibilities very well to reach the best adds. One 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.
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 of 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.

Curtis Samuel – wide receiver – Carolina Panthers (4% owned*)
Okay, the game is against the Kansas City Chiefs, but in the absence of Christian McCaffrey – who is due to return this week – Curtis Samuel is one of the Panthers players who has called the responsibility for the attack to him, whether in the air or on the ground game. .
Samuel had against the Atlanta Falcons 17.40 points in NFL.com Fantasy Football by adding four receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown, plus three runs for 23 yards and another TD. And this is the second week in a row that wideout Carolina has a good score in game to make up for absences between the holders or to be a bet on flex, since against the defense of the Saints, the player passed the 11 points.
Placed on this list a little below last week, few believed in shirt 10. This week he gains a more prominent space, hoping to add even more points, even more with CMC drawing the attention of the Kansas defense.
* Percentage of teams in the official NFL Fantasy leagues that have this athlete in the squad
Wayne Gallman – running back – New York Giants (26,8% owned)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense is the best against the ground game even in the 2020 NFL season. However, even with all the problems in the New York ground game, either because of the injuries of the starting lineup or because of the problems in the offensive line, Wayne Gallman managed to beat the strong defense of the Florida franchise.
Shirt 22 ran 12 times for 44 yards and a touchdown in the defeat of the Giants. He also took the only pass in his direction for 18 yards and added up to 12.20 points, his second week in a row with at least 11 points in Fantasy.
Now the game is against Washington, which even with a strong front seven, is part of the NFC East, in which no team really seems to want to win the division. So RB comes in as a bet for his flex this week 9 of the NFL.

Marvin Jones – wide receiver – Detroit Lions (43,8% owned)
With Kenny Golladay injured, Marvin Jones had his best production of the season with 15.90 points, with three receptions for 39 yards and two TDs received against the Colts. Now the receiver faces the Minnesota Vikings and remains a good target in the red zone, even if Golladay returns, see his production two rounds earlier, when he had five passes taken and 80 yards against the Falcons even with his teammate.
He becomes a name to think about, if your team needs a receiver to replace its holders / flex in the bet that he will have at least ten points won see his beginning of the year weak.

Zack Moss – running back – Buffalo Bills (30,4% owned)
The Bills’ running back finally seems to be gearing up in his debut season as a pro. With 14 runs for 81 yards and two touchdowns, plus three receptions for 30 yards to add more than 20 points – 13 more than against the Jets’ defense.
The game this time is against the Seattle Seahawks, but even so, the opportunities should appear more and more frequently if his production continues to grow or at least maintain a good regularity playing alongside Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. Something that many expected to happen in the beginning of 2020, but that whoever bet on it since the Draft – like this writer who speaks to you – has only had a return with more than half of last season, much because of the companions allied to the injuries suffered by shirt 20.
Let’s see if Zack Moss will continue as a bet that goes well from time to time or if he establishes himself as a good name for both Buffalo and the Fantasy Football GMs.

Jack Doyle – tight end – Indianapolis Colts (11,9% owned)
It is not just today that Jack Doyle has a good middle production for the end of the NFL season. In 2019, the player had the peak of productivity in this period and this year has not been deferential, with his last two matches with 6.90 and 7.80 points respectively, being a sure target in the end zone.
Now the game is against the Baltimore Ravens. And even though the opponent has a strong defense, Rivers should explore the best of his TEs and running backs, as the wide receivers’ body has suffered from several injuries over the weeks of the league.
The choice of number 84 seems right if your tight end is in bye week and you don’t trust your reservation – if you have it – or if you lost George Kittle and you still don’t know what to do.

Damien Harris – running back – New England Patriots (26,2% owned)
With the problems New England has had throughout the season, Harris was the highlight of the team in the last round, in the defeat suffered by the Bills. The number 37 had 16 hits on the ball and ran for 102 yards, in addition to entering the end zone once – the first time in his professional career.
Now the duel is against the New York Jets, which is by far the worst NFL team in 2020 – and Adam Gase remains a coach there, you will understand. And if against Buffalo’s good defense, Damien Harris had a production above 16 points, against the NY franchise he can play even better and be the piece that his team needs to win this week of Fantasy Football. Even more so with the playoffs of the game closer and closer.
