Maximize Your Roster with These Hidden Gems
As the NFL season progresses, fantasy football managers are constantly searching for that breakout player.
In Week 7, there are several intriguing options to consider adding to your roster. These players have lower ownership percentages but provide potential upside.
Luther Burden III, WR, Bears
Currently rostered in only 14% of leagues, Luther Burden III has been gaining traction.
DJ Moore’s recent hospitalization raises concerns about his playing status. If he misses games, Burden could step up significantly.
Even with Moore on the field, Burden managed to achieve career highs in targets and receptions last week. His ability to make plays after the catch makes him a valuable asset.
Isaiah Davis, RB, Jets
Isaiah Davis is another low-rostered player to watch, with just 4% ownership.
With Braelon Allen out for an extended period, Davis is in a prime position to take on a larger role. If Breece Hall leaves the Jets or gets injured, Davis could emerge as a starter.
Michael Mayer, TE, Raiders
Michael Mayer is a solid option at tight end, also 4% rostered.
With Brock Bowers sidelined, Mayer stepped up and played 92% of the Raiders’ snaps last week. His five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown makes him a viable streaming option.
Buying into Bryce Young
Bryce Young, though slightly above the usual cutoff at 22% rostered, warrants attention.
The Panthers are getting healthier, and with Jalen Coker returning, Young could improve. Carolina’s second-half performance last season gives hope for potential fantasy success.
Honorable Mentions to Consider
Several players also show potential as low-rostered options.
Jalen Coker (15%), Christian Watson (11%), and Tory Horton (6%) can be monitored for any signs of significant usage.
With injuries and trades, these players might find themselves in rewarding situations.
Understanding the Waiver Wire Approach
Targeting low-ownership players can lead to winning decisions in fantasy football.
Monitoring player news and injury reports is essential for making timely additions. Utilize this information to make informed roster changes.
Conclusion: Staying Ahead of the Game
The fantasy football landscape is ever-changing, and finding depth players is crucial.
Keep an eye on the waiver wire and look for emerging players to enhance your team’s success as the season continues.
