The Week 7 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire appears to be absolutely loaded!!! The top-20 are all players that we were drafting in our deeper (18-20 round) best ball drafts. It's absolutely time to empty that free agent acquisition budget (FAAB). Of course, none of these players are available in your league (sarcasm font), don't worry, we still have some players for everyone.
Looking at the overall meta of scoring this year it seems that the offenses have found their way after looking lost for three weeks. Lack of playing time in the preseason has really affected the synch of most offenses. It's really made the prognostication game challenging as ever.
Waiver Wire Adds
Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran for 129 yards on 18 carries in the Giants 29-20 Week 5 win over the Seahawks. Then followed it up with with 17 rushes for 50 yards and a touchdown while adding six catches for 57 yards in a 17-7 loss to the Bengals in Week 6.
Braelon Allen continues to get touches as the backup to Breece Hall, but struggled in the loss to the Vikings. His 2.6 yards per carry average is his worst of the season. Allen will look to bounce back against the division rival Bills in Week 6.
Tyler Allgeier rushed the ball six times for 12 yards and caught three passes for 13 yards in Thursday's 36-30 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons were dominant on offense on Thursday night, but the rushing game wasn't really a strong part of that, that should change against Carolina in Week 6. Bijan Robinson looks tentative and possibly nursing an injury that we don’t know about yet. Allgeier can have flex value in some weeks and massive contingency value if Bijan is out.
Now rostered in only 46% of Yahoo leagues, Christian Watson is worth stashing at the end of your bench if someone dropped him in your league. The talent is real for Green Bay's third-year wide receiver. He just needs to stay healthy, hopefully this ankle injury doesn’t reignite his hamstring issues, compensation injuries are common with ankle sprains.
Taysom Hill was out again in Week 5, and could be out a few more weeks, but if he does return and Derek Carr is truly injured, Hill should get quite a few opportunities. We shouldn't expect Hill to be the starting QB, but he will assuredly get several gadget plays with rookie fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler or 2023 fourth rounder Jake Haener at the helm.

Players We Can Drop
When we make waiver claims most of the time we can easily determine who to add, but we struggle with which players to drop. It is very difficult to give-up on a player we thought was worth drafting in the first place. If you are struggling, you should be dropping your questions or concerns in our FREE Discord channel. Don't be afraid of it, I'm over 50 and navigate it fairly well.
