Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups: Sleepers Available in Majority of Fantasy Leagues

When it comes to the fantasy football waiver wire, there is no such thing as preparing too much.

This is especially true as the halfway point of the season approaches. With big names such as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi continuing to emerge, those who skimp can miss on surefire starters. 

Seeking advice in relentless fashion applies to those performing well, too. Injuries play a role here, with names such as Ben Roethlisberger, LeSean McCoy and Odell Beckham all suffering issues at one point during Week 6.

Call it an all-inclusive aspect of the fantasy realm. No matter a specific owner’s needs, here are a few names to pursue on the wire.

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the team won’t have Roethlisberger in Week 7 due to injury, which creates a rather large boon for those in need at the position. 

Landry Jones gets control of the offense as a result, and it’s hard not to love someone who gets to lead an offense featuring Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell. Even better, the Week 7 matchup comes against the New England Patriots in a game Jones should see plenty of passing opportunities if and when the Steelers fall behind.

Jones was as unpredictable as it gets last year in spot duty, tossing two scores in one game on all of 12 attempts and in another throwing two interceptions on four attempts.

Owners shouldn’t get discouraged, though. This will be only his second season receiving playing time, and the Pittsburgh offense is friendly in the sense all he has to do is get the ball to Brown and others on high-percentage passes and let them do the heavy lifting.

Those in need of a streaming option certainly have one with Jones.

Knile Davis, RB, GB (19.1 ownership percentage)
