The Jets are back! OK, maybe not back because they were never here but at least there's some actual hope and fantasy value to be had from a previously winless team. The tight end landscape has changed drastically again, as Hunter Henry returns right at 60% ownership, while breakout second-year Seahawk Will Dissly's season appears over. As Week 6 winds down on Sunday night, we waste no time presenting our instant analysis on potential waiver wire adds with the Waiver Wire Lightning Round for Week 7.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis based on injury information, depth chart changes, and any other relevant information that might inform your waiver decisions.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order and broken down by position, starting with RB. Players must be owned in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues to qualify for this list and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
