Week 7 saw us skirt further COVID-19 postponements with big performances across the league. Key injuries included Odell Beckham Jr., Diontae Johnson, Deebo Samuel, Jeff Wilson Jr., Phillip Lindsay, N'Keal Harry, Breshad Perriman, Tim Patrick, and Andy Dalton. And then both Chris Carson and Kenyan Drake left SNF with injuries. Week 8 byes are Arizona, Houston, Jacksonville, and Washington. Let's get to those waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 8.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week 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 therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
