Fantasy Football Advice - Top Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7. After some pretty nasty injuries in the weeks prior, week 6 wasn’t all that bad for our big name guys and I think we can chalk it up as a W. But don’t let this false sense of confidence or assurance distract you from making moves on the waiver wire to improve your team. Remember that four more teams will go on bye this week as well and you will likely need to do some roster gymnastics to adjust accordingly. The ever-looming fear of positive COVID tests hover over our heads as well in any given week. But fear not, WhisperNation! I have your back! This is my Weekly Waiver Wire Whisper column in which I will give you my take on some stash/start worthy players that are rostered in 50% or less of Yahoo leagues. That is the cutoff, so please don’t slide all in my mentions on Twitter about how I could possibly leave off Matt Ryan (88%), Rob Gronkowski (60%), or A.J. Green (54%), or Jimmy Graham (54%), or Jerrick McKinnon (71%), or Carson Wentz (60%), or from this article. As always you can find us on Twitter or Instagram and DM your waiver wire questions to us there as well. If you are curious about my preference or priority between a player in the particular positional groups, I will rank them from top to bottom priority in this article. If you are curious about my priority or preference between positions, you will need to make that decision based on your roster construction. Typically in most formats running backs are the top priority but maybe you have a deep RB corps and need WR or TE help. Make good decisions, folks.
Note: Teams on BYE include: Baltimore, Indianapolis, Miami, and Minnesota.
