Week 7 Waivers

Need to fill a hole in your roster this week? These 6 players will do it immediately … in two minutes or less.

QB: Jaxson Dart (NYG), available in 64.6% of leagues

Jaxson Dart just dropped his first real breakout performance in a 34–17 upset win over the Eagles, and it wasn’t a fluke. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards and a score, but what really jumped off the page was his dual-threat impact: 13 carries for 58 yards and another touchdown. So now he’s officially more than just a streamer,  he’s a legit fantasy pickup. Even a priority add for teams hurting at QB. The Giants have already committed to him as their starter, and his rushing floor gives him weekly upside that won’t last on waivers for long.

WR: Kayshon Boutte (NE), available in 92.9% of leagues

Boutte has been quiet since his early-season splash, but when the Patriots needed someone to step up against the Saints, he exploded again, hauling in 5-of-5 targets for 93 yards and a pair of long touchdowns. Stefon Diggs has been the clear focal point most weeks, but when defenses clamp down on him, Boutte’s deep-threat profile gives this offense another gear. New England has strung together three straight wins behind steady quarterback play and a defense that’s forcing opponents to throw, so there’s room for a secondary receiver like Boutte to keep flashing. His usage may be volatile, but that ceiling makes him a strong speculative pickup heading into Week 7.

WR: Jayden Higgins (HOU), available in 76.8% of leagues

Higgins is coming along nicely, and has quietly carved out a bigger role each week. But his last two games hint at real breakout potential. He set a season high in both snaps and targets before the bye, catching four passes in Week 5 after scoring a 24-yard touchdown in Week 4. So while Houston’s offense has had ups and downs early, he’s now locked into two-WR sets opposite Nico Collins, and with plus matchups on the horizon, this is the kind of rookie profile that can pop fast if C.J. Stroud heats up.

RB: Kimani Vidal (LAC), available in 72.5% of leagues

Vidal just had his big breakout game in the Chargers’ first game without Omarion Hampton. He logged 18 carries for 124 yards with 3 catches and a touchdown in Week 6, and that came in a game where he took over the backfield. But this wasn’t just a flash in the pan; the Chargers’ offense has been winning and controlling games lately, which has consistently allowed them to lean on their ground game. So if you need an RB with a clear path to volume on a team that’s moving the ball well, Vidal is a priority.

RB: Kendre Miller (NO), available in 74.5% of leagues

Miller’s role has quietly been climbing for weeks, but Alvin Kamara’s hasn’t kept up. He’s logged at least nine touches in four straight games, and the gap between him and Kamara on the ground is narrowing as Kamara’s efficiency dips. But the real signal is how he’s looked when given chances: breaking tackles, ripping chunk gains, and showing more juice than the veteran between the tackles. So if that trend continues on a team that clearly needs a spark, Miller’s stash appeal gets a lot more interesting heading into a soft upcoming stretch

So look for these players on waivers to improve your squad… As promised, in two minutes or less.
