Fantasy Football Players to Add Week 7

Having a good fantasy draft sets a team up really well, but most of the time to win a fantasy football league, acquisitions need to be made during the season. Each week, there are several players worth exploring on the waiver wire. Here are fantasy football players to add in Week 7.

(Note: These are best used for standard scoring leagues. All players are rostered in less than 55 percent of ESPN leagues)

1. Jordan Mason, RB, Minnesota Vikings

Mason has been on IR with a fracture in his thumb. Aaron Jones has taken most of the work out of the backfield in Mason’s absence, but he also got banged up and returned in the Vikings’ Week 5 game. In Week 1, Mason had 15 carries for 59 yards and one touchdown.

When he returns to the lineup, he should be expected to get a lot of work, if not the majority. The Vikings were on a bye in Week 6, so he hasn’t played yet, but picking him up now and stashing him could lead to bigger rewards down the road. He is currently rostered in 50.5 percent of ESPN leagues.

2. Germie Bernard, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Over the last two weeks, Bernard has played the best games of his young career. In week 5, he had six catches for 80 yards, but also had one rush for four yards. Against the Buccaneers in Week 6, he had 11 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.

Michael Pittman Jr. went on IR and even though he wasn’t playing well, Bernard stepped into his shoes and has taken advantage of the opportunity. As he gets more familiar with Aaron Rodgers, Bernard should be more trusted in the offense. He plays in a way that is beneficial to Rodgers, as he is able to get open underneath. Bernard is rostered in 44.4 percent of ESPN leagues.

3. Omar Cooper Jr., WR, New York Jets

In his first NFL game, Cooper had one catch for 30 yards. That was all the way back in Week 1. Then he went on IR with an ankle sprain. Cooper returned to the lineup in Week 6 and impressed. He finished the game against the Patriots with six catches for 103 yards and one touchdown.

While it will be hard to expect him to replicate his Week 6 performance every week, Cooper got enough targets in his first game back to warrant picking up. He can be stashed until he repeats the performance or started in desperation until he shows this can be consistent, but his performance was too good to ignore. Cooper is rostered in 2.9 percent of ESPN leagues.

4. Jonah Coleman, RB, Denver Broncos

Coleman was the fourth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft for the Broncos. He started off in a rotation of running backs and didn’t register any fantasy points in Week 1. In Week 2, he had 10 carries for 39 yards and one touchdown. Coleman also had three catches for 19 yards to show his talent.

Since playing well in Week 2, Coleman has been on the injured reserve with a high ankle sprain. He showed flashes in his one game of production and the Broncos would be wise to work him into the rotation. If he plays well, then he can win more of the backfield work. He is rostered in 19.9 percent of ESPN leagues.

5. Tre Tucker, WR, Las Vegas Raiders

Tre Tucker has been WR15 in standard scoring leagues this season. As the Raiders’ top wide receiver, he has had some good games and bad. In Week 2, he had five catches for 119 yards and one touchdown. Against the Bills in Week 6, he hauled in five passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns. In between those games have been mundane performances, but he has still had a solid season overall.

Tucker has produced enough to be rostered in most fantasy football leagues. He shouldn’t be played every week, as he has plenty of bad weeks, but if he is started on the right weeks, he can flip a fantasy matchup with some big plays. Tucker is currently rostered in 44.2 percent of ESPN leagues.
