I’m back today to highlight the top waiver adds at each position for Week 7.
The only criteria here is that these players are available in over 50% of leagues.
Let’s dive in, starting with the running back position…
RB: Kimani Vidal
Vidal stepped right into the Chargers’ starting role and didn’t disappoint.
He rushed for over 100 yards in his first NFL start and looked explosive doing it. With Omarion Hampton now on injured reserve and Najee Harris already done for the year, this backfield is Vidal’s to lose.
The rookie played 57% of snaps and handled 20 total touches while Hassan Haskins rotated in on passing downs. As long as Vidal keeps producing, he’s the clear lead back until Hampton returns…
TE: Harold Fannin Jr.
Fannin quietly took over when David Njoku left Sunday’s game with a knee injury.
He ran nearly every route after halftime and turned that opportunity into 7 catches for 81 yards, both career highs.
The Browns already used a ton of two-TE sets, and if Njoku misses time, Fannin will have the volume and role to be a weekly starter. don’t let him sit on waivers…
QB: Jaxson Dart
Dart continues to flash real fantasy upside.
He’s now started 3 games and posted at least 50 rushing yards in every one of them. He’s averaging just over 20 fantasy points per start and brings a safe rushing floor every week.
Even with a tougher matchup against Denver, his mobility makes him a reliable option if you need a streaming QB or injury fill-in…
WR: Kendrick Bourne
Bourne’s quietly heating up.
Over the past 2 weeks, he’s caught 15 passes for 284 yards, second-most in the league over that span. With multiple 49ers receivers banged up, Bourne has become the go-to option in this offense.
As long as Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall remain limited, Bourne is a plug-and-play WR3 with upside. He’s still available in most 10-team leagues, fix that before Sunday…
That’s it for today. 4 players you can plug in & feel good about heading into Week 7.
