As we wrap up Week 6 of the NFL season, it’s time to gear up for Week 7. If you play fantasy football, you know that Tuesday night and Wednesday morning are crucial for making waiver claims. With teams like the Bills and Ravens on bye, you’ll need to fill those gaps in your roster.
Here are some players you should consider adding to boost your team:
Kendrick Bourne, WR, 49ers (51% owned): Bourne has been impressive lately, logging five catches for 142 yards last week against the Buccaneers. With Ricky Pearsall and George Kittle dealing with injuries, Bourne is a solid option, especially as he faces the Falcons next.
Sam Darnold, QB, Seahawks (51% owned): Darnold has turned in two strong performances recently, scoring 27.6 points in Week 5 and 20 points last week. Despite a tough matchup against the Texans coming up, he remains a decent pick from the waiver wire.
Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Browns (50% owned): Fannin Jr. had a standout game with seven catches for 81 yards against the Steelers. With rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel likely leaning on tight ends, he could be a go-to player if David Njoku is sidelined.
Josh Downs, WR, Colts (49% owned): Downs had a great outing against the Cardinals, leading the team with six catches and a touchdown. He’s been consistent, scoring double digits in three of his last five games.
Evan Engram, TE, Broncos (47% owned): Engram is becoming a more prominent part of coach Sean Payton’s offense, grabbing at least six targets in three straight games. He has scored well recently, making him worth adding, especially with a chance to face the Giants next.
Jaxson Dart, QB, Giants (46% owned): Dart has surprised many, scoring over 19 points in two of his first three starts. His rushing ability adds significant fantasy value, making him a viable option in your lineup.
Kimani Vidal, RB, Chargers (45% owned): Vidal took charge in the backfield last week, rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown in a solid performance against the Dolphins. With Omarion Hampton out for a bit, Vidal is a must-add player.
Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jaguars (39% owned): Lawrence threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns last week. He has shown he can be productive and is worth considering for your lineup, especially as the bye weeks roll in.
Bam Knight, RB, Cardinals (19% owned): Knight emerged in a committee last week, contributing enough to warrant consideration for your lineup. He showed potential, especially with red-zone opportunities.
Michael Mayer, TE, Raiders (5% owned): Mayer stepped up with a solid game, catching five passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. With Brock Bowers out, Mayer could become a key player in the Raiders’ offense.
With the current roster shake-ups and injuries, monitoring these players can help you stay competitive. Don’t forget to pay attention to trends and expert opinions as the season progresses.
