Fantasy football waiver wire: Best Week 7 pickups at QB, RB, WR, TE

Week 7 waiver wire: Best picks for QB, RB, WR, TE

As injuries and breakout games have dominated the NFL season, fantasy football fans have been scrambling to the waiver wire for backups. While Najee Harris and Jaleel McLaughlin may have disappointed after being picked up in Week 6, Dameon Pierce and Roschon Johnson have shown promise with touchdown performances.

In terms of strong pickups, receivers and running backs seem to offer the most potential. Yahoo's rostership percentages suggest some players to target. Quarterbacks Kyler Murray and Geno Smith both have positive matchups ahead, with Murray facing a Colts team that allows few fantasy points to opposing QBs and Smith getting Justin Jefferson back from injury.

Running back Kendre Miller performed well against the Giants but needs a look on waivers, as he has great usage but hasn't shown much upside. Bam Knight had a solid performance against the Rams and could see increased opportunities if Jeremy Love isn't ready for the Broncos game. Samaje Perine, although not a must-add, could see more playing time with the Bengals' offense.

On the receiver side, Germie Bernard had a breakout game with 11 catches and a game-winning overtime TD against the Buccaneers. The Steelers have been blitz-heavy, making Bernard a good fit for quick routes. Omar Cooper Jr. had a big game against the Patriots, and Adonai Mitchell's return should only increase Cooper's workload. Jaylin Noel had a standout performance against the Jaguars and could be worth rostering, but the Texans' depth may limit his success.
