We’re approaching the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season, and whether you’re riding high or desperately needing a win, now is the time to make bold moves. Below are four key waiver wire and trade targets for Week 7, followed by a list of "Stash Them for Later" players who could become league winners down the stretch.
Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets
Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots (3.8% Rostered)
Drake Maye showed flashes of his potential in his NFL debut in Week 6. Despite facing constant pressure from the Texans’ front, Maye displayed poise, delivering three touchdowns and even contributing with his legs. His rushing ability adds an exciting element for fantasy managers.
Threw for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns, adding 38 rushing yards.
Faces a favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 7.
Strong dual-threat option for QB-needy teams in 1QB leagues.
Isaac Guerendo, RB, San Francisco 49ers (0.9% Rostered)
Isaac Guerendo took full advantage of his opportunity in Week 6 after Jordan Mason went down with a shoulder injury. Guerendo's elite speed and big-play ability were on full display, making him a high-priority waiver wire addition as the 49ers look for stability in their backfield.
Rushed for 99 yards on 10 carries, including a 76-yard run.
With Mason’s status uncertain, Guerendo could see an increased workload.
Shanahan’s system has historically produced fantasy-relevant RBs, making Guerendo a must-add.
Demario Douglas, WR, New England Patriots (21.1% Rostered)
Demario Douglas has quickly become one of Drake Maye’s favorite targets, emerging as the Patriots' top pass-catching option. His speed and ability to create separation have made him a reliable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues.
6 catches for 92 yards and 1 touchdown on 9 targets in Week 6.
Continues to grow chemistry with Maye, making him a WR3/flex option.
Facing a Jaguars secondary that has struggled to contain receivers, he’s set for another strong week.
Zach Ertz, TE, Washington Commanders (53.6% Rostered)
Zach Ertz continues to be a steady fantasy performer, seeing consistent targets every week. While he hasn’t found the end zone recently, his role in Washington's offense makes him one of the more reliable tight ends, especially in PPR leagues.
Caught 4 passes for 68 yards on 5 targets in Week 6.
His consistent usage makes him a safe TE option in an unpredictable position.
With the Commanders’ offense clicking, Ertz remains a valuable pickup.
Stash 'em for later
These players might not be immediate starters but have the potential to become significant fantasy contributors as the season progresses. Grab them now and hold for later.
Joe Flacco, QB, Indianapolis Colts (2.5% Rostered)
Flacco has provided stability in the Colts' offense and could be a viable option if you need a bye-week fill-in or backup quarterback.
Key Stat: Over 225 passing yards in each of his starts.
Reason: With a favorable upcoming schedule, he’s a smart stash for QB depth.
Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams (5.1% Rostered)
Corum is starting to see increased involvement in the Rams’ offense and has the skillset to take over if the starter gets injured.
Key Stat: Played 35% of offensive snaps in Week 6.
Reason: A valuable handcuff with upside if an injury occurs.
Sean Tucker, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1.0% Rostered)
Tucker stepped up in Week 6 with Rachaad White sidelined, showcasing his ability to handle a significant workload.
Key Stat: 192 total yards and 2 touchdowns on 17 touches.
Reason: If White continues to miss time, Tucker could emerge as a league winner.
Kimani Vidal, RB, Los Angeles Chargers (2.3% Rostered)
Vidal is behind J.K. Dobbins on the depth chart but is poised to take on a larger role with Gus Edwards sidelined.
Key Stat: Scored a touchdown on his first touch, a 38-yard reception in Week 6.
Reason: A great handcuff with potential value as a Dobbins backup.
Michael Wilson, WR, Arizona Cardinals (18.4% Rostered)
Wilson has quietly produced consistent fantasy numbers and could see an even bigger role if the Cardinals' top receiver remains sidelined.
Key Stat: 26 targets over the last four weeks.
Reason: A solid depth option with WR3 potential if the starter remains out.
Xavier Legette, WR, Carolina Panthers (28.9% Rostered)
Legette has become a go-to target in Carolina’s offense, especially with injuries to their receiving corps.
Key Stat: 2 double-digit fantasy games in his last three outings.
Reason: He’s trending upward and could become a consistent WR3/flex option.
Rashod Bateman, WR, Baltimore Ravens (5.9% Rostered)
Bateman has started to solidify his role in the Ravens’ offense, making him a viable stash for the remainder of the season.
Key Stat: 12 targets in the last two weeks.
Reason: As the Ravens’ WR2, he has upside in a high-powered offense.
