It’s time to lock in those Week 7 waiver wire pickups, folks. We’re almost halfway through the fantasy football regular season, and it’s time to buckle down and get ready for a playoff push.
Injuries and busts at RB keep on piling up, and having depth to keep your lineups full is paramount to your fantasy football success. Check out these ball carriers on your fantasy football league’s Week 7 waiver wire.
Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups | RBs
*Rostership percentages courtesy of FantasyPros waiver wire rankings
Tyrone Tracy (NYG) | 44.9%
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy has shown us who he is two weeks in a row. We should probably believe him. Over that two-game span, he is the overall point-per-reception (PPR) RB3 in fantasy football.
Tracy has benefited from an injury to veteran RB Devin Singletary, who missed the previous two games. However, Tracy, unlike Singletary, has a 100-yard rushing outing and has earned 15 or more carries in both contests. This is a rare opportunity to get a potential league winner midway through the fantasy football season.
Isaac Guerendo (SF) | 2.5%
The RB carousel keeps on turning in San Francisco. With fellow ball carrier Jordan Mason out (AC Joint), rookie Isaac Guerendo stepped in admirably. The freshman RB carried the ball 10 times for 99 yards.
While Guerendo was aided by a monster 76-yard run late in the game, we all know how the Shanahan system works regarding RBs. Gurendo is a one-cut-and-go type of runner, which is what the 49ers scheme for on offense. Guerendo will be a viable flex play in fantasy football if Mason is sidelined.
Kimani Vidal (LAC) | 6.7%
Why yes, I AM excited rookie RB Kimani Vidal finally got a chance to shine, and did he ever. While his four carries for 11 yards aren’t anything to write home about, he caught a beautiful 38-yard wheel route pass for a TD in the first quarter on Sunday.
Sure, it was one play in a 60-minute game. However, the Chargers offense has struggled to do much in the passing game, and Vidal showed he is reliable, even if it was just two catches. Vidal has as good of a chance as anyone on this roster to bust out behind veteran J.K. Dobbins, and his upside, if he breaks out, is undeniable, especially in PPR formats.
Sean Tucker (TB) | 1.0%
With veteran RB Rachaad White (foot) sidelined this past Sunday, the Tamba Bay rushing attack went crazy. Rookie Bucky Irving, as expected, put in a solid performance, with 86 rushing yards and a TD. However, no one saw fellow Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker coming,
In his second season out of Syracuse, Tucker logged an astounding 136 rushing yards on 14 carries and a rushing TD. But that wasn’t all. Tucker also hauled in all three targets for 56 yards and another TD. This could be a flash in the pan. However, with the team’s displeasure with White’s play, Tucker is worth a could-catch-lightning-in-a-bottle roster addition.
Tyler Allgeier (ATL) | 36.5%
Bijan Robinson be damned, Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier continues to hang on to fantasy football relevancy. This past week against Carolina, Allgeier finished as the PPR RB10, while Robinson slotted in as the PPR RB3.
Without a TD, Allgeier isn’t going to draw enough volume to be a top option in any scoring format. However, If Bijan gets hurt, Allgeier has an RB1 upside almost every week in the Atlanta offense. Allgeier isn’t someone you can rely on weekly as a boom play, but in a pinch, he’ll do as a flex option in most formats.

Sometimes, life is stressful. It isn’t always tailgating parties and Daisy Dukes like Morgan Wallen sings about.

Bills are piling up, and my […]

“Dirty Ernie” finally kicked the bucket. Ernest Hubbard was my mom’s dad and had one hell of a biography to tell. Ernie lived to the ripe age of 87 and filled those years from Shawnee, Oklahoma, to Northern California with every story and trinket imaginable. He was the ultimate girl dad, though his four daughters […]
