Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round Including Isaac Guerendo, Ty Chandler, Kimani Vidal, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Romeo Doubs, Drake Maye

Congratulations on (mostly) making it through another injured-filled week as we push onto the heart of October. We saw plenty of standout performances from relatively unknown names, which is what waiver dreams are made of! Let's wade through it with our fantasy football waiver wire pickups lightning round heading into Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season.

As always, this article provides rapid reactions to put key players on your radar for this next week after Week 6's action and injuries to Marvin Harrison Jr. (head), Chris Olave (head), Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring), Dallas Goedert (hamstring), Jerome Ford (hamstring), Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder), and more. This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. 

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
