Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Targets Week 7
Once again another week of football comes to a close, and already we are on to the next! Week seven is here folks and its time to hit the waiver wire and grab a wide receiver or two.
Jermaine Kearse is a great guy to start with. The New York Jets will be looking to target Kearse heavily now that Quincy Enunwa is out with an ankle injury. During Sunday's game against the Colts, Kearse had 94 yards on the day and completed nine out of ten targets. Excellent numbers from a receiver that is owned in 3% of leagues. There is no official time table on when Enunwa will return, but he will not be taking the field this week. Kearse might well be shouldering the entire load this coming week, if you are in need he is a great grab for a flex position.
The next receiver we saw some life from was Christian Kirk of the Arizona Cardinals. Kirk had 77 yards on the day and completed six of seven targets. The Cardinals aren't having a great start to the season, and Larry Fitzgerald could use some help out there. Kirk is owned in 28% of leagues and his upside looks good moving forward.
Chris Godwin is still available in 40% of leagues and is worth the pickup. The Buccaneers have no problem spreading the ball around and Godwin hauled in six of nine targets on Sunday. Obviously Godwin isn't the number one or two receiver, but he finds the end zone when he gets the ball.
