Week 7 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Best Adds Based on Projections, Including Washington

Let's put together another Week 7 fantasy football waiver wire article, but this time based on weekly projections!

We have a couple of players at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end to discuss, so let's get right to it!

Weekly fantasy football projections can be found all season on FantasySP! Defensive rankings are also available!

Wide Receivers

Miami's Malik Washington is set for 11 PPR fantasy points in a matchup against the Jets. He's owned in 57.78% of leagues.

He has been pretty involved most of this season, and has seven touches in three straight contests. Washington has at least 61 total yards in all those games. Overall, Washington has 262 receiving yards on 23 receptions and 36 targets, while adding 30 rushing yards across six carries.

Washington has been involved enough to roster/start in a lot of deeper leagues. If you are lacking wideouts or have WRs on bye weeks, then Washington becomes an option in standard leagues.

Tennessee's Wan'Dale Robinson is another wideout set for 11 points. He'll be taking on the Browns in Week 7, and is owned in 72.92% of leagues right now.

Robinson has been somewhat involved over the past four games for the Titans, but the fantasy results are just so-so. He has between 3-7 touches over the past four contests, but has topped out at 57 total yards. He has 25 grabs for 198 yards and two touchdowns across 37 targets, while rushing once for a yard overall.

Robinson is another wideout who is a better deep-league asset right now, but he could have some standard league appeal to those needing WR help. Keep him in mind if you need some help in Week 7, or beyond.

Running Backs

New Orleans' Alvin Kamara is projected for 10 PPR points in Week 7 against the Steelers. He owned in 77.97% of fantasy leagues at the moment.

He made the most of his nine touches in Week 6, rushing seven times for 34 yards and catching half of his four targets for 35 yards and a score. Kendre Miller was the clear lead back for the Saints, but Kamara has factored in enough to have a little fantasy appeal.

At a position lacking a bunch of great options right now, Kamara is not only an option in deeper leagues, but also some standard setups. Just know he's not functioning as a lead back and is a better flex option.

Tampa Bay's Kenny Gainwell is set for eight PPR points in a favorable matchup against the Panthers. He's only rostered in 58.04% of leagues right now.

He hasn't taken off with his new team yet, but he's gotten enough work to consider when the matchups are right, and this one is. Gainwell has 61 rushing yards across 19 carries, while catching 12 of his 17 targets for 61 more yards and a touchdown.

In a favorable matchup, I could see Gainwell delivering a surprising fantasy score. I'd only trust him as a starter in deeper leagues though, because of what we've seen from him to this point of the season.

Quarterbacks

Arizona's Jacoby Brissett is projected for 18 fantasy points in a battle with the Broncos. He's owned in 39.6% of leagues right now.

He has nine touchdowns across six games so far, but also has thrown six interceptions. Brissett has completed 66.7% of his passes and has 1,328 passing yards. He has rushed for 64 yards and a score across 19 attempts.

I don't love the matchup, but the game script could mean volume passing stats for Brissett and help him deliver a solid fantasy score. I like him best in deeper leagues, and think you could do better in a standard league.

Minnesota's Kyler Murray is set for 17 points against the Colts in Week 7. He's owned in 56.7% of leagues.

He's been solid in his first three full games this season, completing 68.8% of his passes for 644 yards, but just two touchdowns. He's thrown a pick, while rushing for 84 yards across 18 attempts.

His dual-threat ability ups his fantasy outlook regardless of the opponent, and I like how things line up for Murray in Week 7. He not only is a deep-league option, but I'd consider him in standard leagues too if you are in need of a streamer.

Tight Ends

Minnesota's T.J. Hockenson is projected for 11 PPR points against the Colts this coming week. He's rostered in 57.81% of leagues and was injured in his last game, so his status is one to watch.

He didn't do much in that last appearance, but erupted for 119 yards across 13 catches and targets in the game before that, so there's some upside with Hockenson. He has 202 yards and a score across 23 catches and 27 targets overall, so you can see most of his production happened in just one game.

Again, I like the outlook for Hockenson in this game, so if you need a streamer at tight end, he could be an option to try. 

Pittsburgh's Pat Freiermuth has a favorable matchup coming against the Saints, and is set for 10 PPR points in that contest. He's rostered in 75.6% of leagues right now.

Freiermuth has been a decent fantasy asset this season, but has been pretty touchdown dependent. His games without a score have been pretty lackluster, but the TD upside makes him one of the better streaming options at TE.

Going into a favorable matchup, Freiermuth has some value to any fantasy owners needing a tight end. The Pittsburgh tight end has done enough this season to consider, at the very least. 

He has 180 yards across 21 catches and 29 targets. Freiermuth has already scored four touchdowns. He has also rushed three times for four yards.
