With bye week and injuries in <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-nfl-wild-card-round/" title="Everything you need to know about the NFL wild card round”>Week 7 of the NFL, getting waiver players right can give you a good advantage over your rivals in Fantasy Football
Another week of the NFL came, and with it, new injuries, surprises, problems and solutions in Fantasy Football. Now, with Week 7 approaching, we have new players on the rise, new names appearing on the radar.
Again, as is usual, more injuries haunted the last round of games. This time, the main injured name with implications for Fantasy Football is Marvin Harrison Jr., wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. Currently, it is expected that MHJ’s concussion could take him out of at least this round. Likewise, the uncertain statuses of Jordan Mason, Aaron Jones, Devin Singletary and other athletes also open spaces for new faces.
Additionally, the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears will not take the field due to bye week. In this way, several players from these teams will become imminent absences from several teams.
Thinking about filling all these problems, the The Playoffs is here once again with valuable tips to help you “sift” the waiver wire and find good reinforcements for your team following disputes.
It is always worth noting that you can’t be too careful when giving up a name to enable the addition of a player via waivers, as placing a certain athlete on the market could mean an unwanted improvement in an opposing squad.
To be eligible on our list, players must be on a maximum of 60% of Yahoo’s rosters, one of the most popular and famous platforms among Brazilians.
It is also possible that the names mentioned here are in a greater or lesser percentage of squads in other applications, such as Sleeper, ESPN and NFL, although the tendency is for the average to be similar.
Once again, we reiterate the use of the PPR score (when there are points computed per reception), again because it is the standard and most famous model in the game today, having stolen the “crown” from the old Standard (or non-PPR) in recent years. years.
With that and without further ado, let’s get to the names for week 7!
RUNNING BACKS
Isaac Guerendo – San Francisco 49ers (4% rostered*)
Since the preseason, a small expectation existed about Isaac Guerendo. With explosive numbers at the Draft Combine, he joined the 49ers as a reserve. However, it took a combination of factors – including Jordan Mason’s injury last week – to Guerendo show your courage. There were only 10 touches of the ball, enough for him to have 99 yards in Week 6. Therefore, if Mason misses more time injured, Guerendo should maintain the starting role, possibly until CMC returns.
Kimani Vidal – Los Angeles Chargers (11% rostered)
In the same way as the previously mentioned Guerendo, Kimani Vidal also generated expectations before the season. With similar physical characteristics and a lot of explosiveness, he also had his first big game in week 6. Your first TOUCH of the ball resulted in a 38-yard touchdown. Now, with Gus Edwards injured, he is second only to JK Dobbins – who has a history of serious injuries. Having Vidal in the squad, from now on, is essential in Fantasy Football.
Outros RB’s: Sean Tucker – TB (2%); Tyrone Tracy Jr. – NYG (45%); Ty Chandler – MIN (28%); Ray Davis – BUF (14%)
WIDE RECEIVERS
Juju Smith-Schuster – Kansas City Chiefs (32% rostered)
Before the bye week, Smith-Schuster surprised and was Patrick Mahomes’ main target. There were 20 Fantasy Football points, with seven receptions and 130 yards. The veteran may no longer have the explosion he once had, but his ability to run routes and good synergy with the best quarterback in the league are extremely positive and attractive points. Now that the Chiefs will no longer have Rashee Rice for the season, Juju could be the team’s main WR for the rest of the season.
Demario Douglas – New England Patriots (8% rostered)
Nominating a Patriots offensive player here is somewhat strange. But Drake Maye’s debut brought new air to the team’s attack. And the person who benefited most from this, without a doubt, was the good WR Demario Douglas. Possessing good agility and hands, playing primarily in the slot, Douglas has everything to be the young QB’s favorite target from now on. Over the last four weeks – including three games with Brissett at the helm – Douglas has 30 targets, 22 receptions, 233 yards and a touchdown.
Outros WR’s: Josh Downs – IND (48%); Michael Wilson – ARZ (16%), Rashod Bateman – BAL (11%); Romeo Doubs – GB (35%)
TIGHT ENDS
Colby Parkinson – Los Angeles Rams (16% rostered)
Coming back from the Rams’ off week, Colby Parkinson is a tight end who seems completely ‘forgotten’. So, let’s remember, in Week 5, he had 13 targets – the Rams’ highest mark. However, Cooper Kupp is close to returning from injury and should steal some of those targets. Still, Parkinson could figure to be Matthew Stafford and the desperate Los Angeles team’s second favorite target.
Outros TE’s: Noah Fant – SEA (27%); Hunter Henry – NE (26%)
QUARTERBACKS
Drake Maye – New England Patriots (6% rostered)
The New England Patriots rookie needed just… one week to prove that the team can have a minimally competent attack. Facing the Texans’ tough pass-rush, he had ups and downs, as any debutante would have. However, Maye showed a lot of value and scored more than 21 Fantasy Football points. Furthermore, the young QB also managed some good runs, which always has its value. With few quarterbacks available on the waiver wire, number 10 is a great option.
Other QB’s: Matthew Stafford – LAR (37%); Aaron Rodgers – NYJ (41%)
