Quarterbacks

**Drake Maye, Patriots** Maye made an impressive debut despite significant challenges, like a lackluster offensive line and weak receiving options. He managed to throw for 243 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions, plus 38 rushing yards. As he faces the Jaguars next—who have been notoriously generous to quarterbacks, allowing 13 passing touchdowns in their last four games—Maye could surprise again, possibly finishing as a low-end QB1.

**Other Notable Options:** - **Matthew Stafford vs. LV (37% rostered)** - **Justin Herbert at ARI (41% rostered)** - **Daniel Jones vs. PHI (21% rostered)**

Running Backs

**Ty Chandler, Vikings** With Aaron Jones potentially sidelined due to a hip injury, Chandler emerges as a solid pickup. He has shown promise and could become a focal point in the Vikings’ offense during Week 7. If Jones can't play, Chandler is a viable low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 option against the Lions.

**Keep an Eye on:** - **Isaac Guerendo (4% rostered)** - **Trey Benson (19% rostered)** - **Antonio Gibson (50% rostered)** Both Guerendo and Benson have a chance to step up if their respective starters are out.

Wide Receivers

**Romeo Doubs/Christian Watson, Packers** The Packers' wide receiver corps is in flux with injuries, making Doubs and Watson pivotal. With Wicks' injury putting him out of commission for a bit, Doubs can be considered a WR3/flex, while Watson offers potential as a WR4/flex. This offense has the potential to be fruitful for fantasy managers, so don't overlook these players.

**Other Worthy Mentions:** - **Josh Downs (50% rostered)** - **Ladd McConkey (not widely rostered)** - **DeAndre Hopkins (just over 50% rostered)**

Tight Ends

**Cade Otton, Buccaneers** Otton continues to be a reliable option at tight end with consistent production. He’s scored at least once in multiple games, solidifying a top-15 fantasy tight end status. Ideal for those needing help at this position, considering the lack of standout options available in the waiver wire.

**Streaming Possibilities:** - **Taysom Hill vs. DEN (33% rostered)** - **Tyler Conklin at PIT (31% rostered)**

Defense

**Week 7 Streaming Picks** Both the Packers’ and Lions’ defenses feature favorable matchups and could be solid choices to stream, ensuring managers have a competitive edge while setting their lineups for the week.

As the season progresses, injuries and performances will impact fantasy outlooks. Regularly monitoring these players and being proactive on the waiver wire can provide critical advantages in your league. Be strategic and don’t hesitate—these pickups could be the key to victory!
