Week 7 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: RBs to Target, Including Kendre Miller

Let's start looking into some Week 7 fantasy football waiver wire options by checking out several running backs!

We'll have several more waiver wire articles coming, so keep checking back to FantasySP!

Fantasy football waiver wire data can be found all season on FantasySP! The Fantasy Sports Assistant now can answer questions you have after doing team breakdowns or waiver wire analysis! 

Tyrone Tracy - New York Giants

Tracy was rostered in just 3% of fantasy football leagues for Week 6.

Cam Skattebo had been functioning as the team's lead back, but he didn't get a single rushing attempt, or touch, in the team's Week 6 loss to New Orleans. Instead, it was Tracy leading the backfield, granted he only had six rushing attempts.

Tracy went for 18 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He also caught two of his three targets for 27 yards and a score. So basically, his two touchdowns made for an impressive fantasy showing, but it wasn't a very good showing otherwise.

Devin Singletary had 33 total yards across five touches, while Najee Harris had two yards across four touches. 

The Giants' backfield appears up for grabs, and Tracy looks like the best option right now. He's not a must-add guy, as things are likely to shift weekly, but Tracy is worth adding, especially for RB-desperate fantasy squads out there.

Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller - New Orleans Saints

Kamara is back on the rise after dipping to 78% owned for Week 6. Miller was at 56% owned for the week.

Miller led the way for the New Orleans backfield, getting 20 rushing attempts, which he turned into 70 yards. He caught both of his targets, but for no yards.

Kamara was the better fantasy performer after catching a touchdown pass. He had 35 yards and the score across two receptions and four targets, while rushing for 34 yards across seven attempts.

Again, we don't have a clear leader in a team's backfield, but here, both backs are producing enough to consider as fantasy waiver wire pickups. Things could remain split between Miller and Kamara until Travis Etienne is back from his injury.

There's enough there to consider adding each back, but Miller is the better option right now. Both have flex-level value in standard leagues, and both could be started in deeper setups.

Samaje Perine - Cincinnati Bengals

Perine is rostered in just 11% of leagues right now. He had his bye this week, but turned in a noteworthy performance in Week 5 that should lead to him getting waiver wire adds before Week 7.

He led the Bengals' backfield with 78 total yards across 16 touches in Week 5, plus he scored on a reception. Perine outperformed Chase Brown, who has struggled a bit this season, possibly opening the door for Perine to become more involved.

Until we see that again though, Perine is a better deep-league fantasy asset. He's worth speculative adds in those leagues, and could even be scooped up and stashed in standard leagues in case he overtakes Brown moving forward.

I'd definitely be adding Perine if I was lacking with RB depth. It's a no-risk move that could potentially pay off big if Perine takes off going forward.

Jonah Coleman - Denver Broncos

Coleman is sitting at 32% rostered right now. He's been on the injured reserve list, but is eligible to play in Week 7.

He didn't do much in Week 1 before delivering more in Week 2, so his injury came at a bad time. Coleman had 10 rushes for 39 yards and a score in Week 2, while catching all three of his targets for 19 more yards.

J.K. Dobbins has led the backfield so far, but is averaging just 3.3 yards per attempt so far. RJ Harvey is at only 3.9 yards per carry, so it's possible Coleman overtakes both backs and leads this backfield moving forward.

It's not a for-sure thing, but it still makes Coleman an intriguing add. I'd give him some speculative adds in deeper leagues, while also considering adding him in standard leagues.

You could be stashing the next big waiver wire add, so beat everyone to the punch by making the move before Coleman explodes.

Jordan Mason - Minnesota Vikings

Mason has been out for a few weeks as well, but he's eligible to return in Week 7. The Vikings just had their bye week, giving Mason another week to heal up, and most expect him back this coming week.

Mason rushed for 59 yards and a score across 15 attempts in Week 1, so he looked like the Vikings' top back right out of the gate. The injury sidelined him and left Aaron Jones Sr. to dominate the backfield the past couple of weeks.

Even with Jones playing well, the backfield will likely go back to being a split one when Mason is activated again. That makes him one to re-add in all fantasy leagues again.

He's a good deep-league starting option even in a split backfield, while being a standard league flex option in favorable matchups. The same could be said for Jones.
