It can be easy to start ignoring the waiver wire, especially heading into Week 7.
The truth is, the NFL never stops changing, and because of this, fantasy is constantly impacted. Whether from injuries or not, players are constantly earning new opportunities.
Something to continue looking out for is players coming off the bye week; you can grab them right off waivers before Tuesday, since they do not have a game.
Keep reading for our fantasy football Week 7 waiver wire report.
Best fantasy waiver wire pickups Week 7
Jaxson Dart, QB, Giants (29% rostered in Yahoo Fantasy leagues)
Fantasy managers need to stop overthinking this one, because Jaxson Dart has been phenomenal. Since becoming the full-time starter, he is the QB14 overall.
Dart is coming off his best game against the Philadelphia Eagles on TNF. He threw for 195 yards and a touchdown, along with a career-high 58 rushing yards and another TD on the ground. Dart also had a career-high in rushing attempts in Week 6.
Dart has surpassed 50 rushing yards in all 3 of his starts. This makes him not only a great fantasy option but a consistent one as well.
Week 7 holds a tough matchup for Dart, as he takes on the Denver Broncos. However, the floor is too safe, and Dart should be rostered at a higher percentage.

Week 7 waiver wire streamers: Bye-week replacements to add
QB Fantasy Streaming Pickups
Dillon Gabriel, Browns (5%)
Gabriel has looked decent to start his NFL career. In Week 7, he'll take on a Dolphins defense that allows the 3rd-most fantasy points per game to the QB position.
TE Fantasy Streaming Pickups
Jonnu Smith, Steelers (20%)
Smith continues to look uninvolved in this Steelers offense, but if there was a week for a solid performance, it's in Week 7 against the Bengals.
Team Defense Fantasy Streaming Pickups
Carolina Panthers (1%)
The Jets' offense is both terrible and confusing. While the Panthers' defense is not elite by any means, they should be able to control the game.
Kicker Fantasy Streaming Pickups
Will Reichard, Vikings (4%)
The Eagles' defense has not looked as elite as we're accustomed to. The Vikings have enough offensive weapons to move the ball, but the offense is inconsistent. This leads to plenty of stalled drives, which allows for more FG opportunities.

Running Back waiver pickups to stash
- Isaiah Davis, Jets (4%)
- Bam Knight, Cardinals (9%)
- Jaydon Blue, Cowboys (16%)
With Breece Hall continuing to be in trade talks and Braelon Allen being on IR, Davis is one of the better stashes.
Knight has been given the nod to start in Week 6. He'll see an increased role, but we still don't fully know how the touches will look.
Blue will see a promotion to the RB2 in this Cowboys offense due to Miles Sanders being out for the season.
