Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
If you have players injuries or bye weeks, here are some fantasy players that may be worth picking up off the waiver wire this week.
Byron Leftwich, Atlanta Falcons
The Joey Harrington Era is over in Atlanta. Enter Byron Leftwich. While Leftwich has never been a great fantasy player, he’s had his moments over the years. In Atlanta, his wide receiving corps is pretty weak, which means that his fantasy appeal is pretty shaky. However, if you have quarterback issues, it can’t hurt to pick him up and see if he surprises.
Michael Bennett, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bennett was traded from the Chiefs to the Buccaneers on the trade deadline. While Bennett likely won’t start to begin with, he has a pretty decent chance of eventually winning that job. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and he’s always been extremely fast. If he eventually starts, he could be a good third running back on a fantasy team.
Lance Moore, New Orleans Saints
Moore has won the second wide receiving spot next to Marques Colston in New Orleans. That’s rather big fantasy news with the way the Saints offense performed last season. If the Saints, who showed some life last week, can return to their high octane ways, Moore becomes a very nice pickup. He’s already a Drew Brees favorite and is a good emergency fantasy starter at this point with potential for more.
Eric Johnson, New Orleans Saints
Much like Moore, Johnson is a guy who can really bust onto the scene if the Saints’ offense turns it around. He had a touchdown last week and was close to having a second later in the game. He has the size and the hands to be a red zone target. With the Saints having a favorable schedule over the next couple weeks, he’s worthy of being a bye week fill-in.
