Fantasy Football Week 7: Waiver-Wire Pickups
By Dan Thomas
Other Receiving Votes
Here are a few more names you want to consider when you go through your fantasy football waiver wire.
Chicago Bears WR Eddie Royal (45% Owned) – He is averaging six receptions and 69 receiving yards over the last three weeks. He’s a solid add in PPR leagues but he keep in mind he might not suit up for Thursday Night Football due to a nagging calf injury.
Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker (27% Owned) – Over the last three weeks he’s averaged eight touches and 47 total yards. The Broncos coaching staff keeps talking about getting him more involved in the offense moving forward. There’s a chance he could turn this into a 60-40 timeshare at some point. For right now he’s not in starting lineups but he’s a good speculative add.
San Francisco 49ers WR Torrey Smith (25% Owned) – In quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s first start of the season, Smith finished with seven targets, three receptions, 76 yards, and one touchdown. In the three weeks before this game, Smith combined for seven targets, four receptions, and 38 yards. There’s a possibility Kaep makes Smith fantasy relevant.

Buffalo Bills TE Charles Clay (24% Owned) – Clay now has three straight games with five receptions and has averaged 57 yards during that span. He could be a decent streaming option in PPR leagues.
San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick (9% Owned) – In his first game as a starter he finished with 66 rushing yards and 17 fantasy points. He might not be a good real life quarterback, but as far as fantasy football goes, he could be a garbage time sensation.
