Watch Now: Snickers Waiver Wire: Running Backs (8:11)
Unfortunately, there were once again some serious injuries in Week 6 to prominent players, including Miles Sanders (knee), Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Zach Ertz (ankle). Mostert and Ertz reportedly are headed to injured reserve, meaning they could miss at least three weeks, while Sanders isn't expected to play Thursday against the Giants. And we could be without Joe Mixon (foot) in Week 7 after he was also injured Sunday. Ouch.
Factor in four teams on a bye (Miami, Indianapolis, Minnesota and Baltimore), as well as the other injuries we were previously dealing with, and it should be a busy week on the waiver wire. Thankfully, there are some quality replacement options who could help.
While the injuries in Philadelphia are bad, the Eagles could be the most popular team this week when it comes to waiver wire moves. Carson Wentz, Boston Scott, Travis Fulgham and Dallas Goedert could be among the most added players if available in your leagues.
We'll also look at other top options like Derek Carr, Justin Jackson, Giovani Bernard and a slew of receivers, including Tim Patrick, Christian Kirk, Cole Beasley, Mike Williams and even A.J. Green. At tight end, along with Goedert, another name to keep an eye on is Anthony Firkser with Jonnu Smith (ankle) banged up.
There are plenty of other players we'll talk about as well, and we have your DST and kicker streamers to target. Get ready to spend some of your FAB budget on several key free agents this week.
Editor's note: For this waiver wire column, we are only looking at players rostered in less than 65 percent of CBS Sports leagues.
Week 7 Waivers
WAIVER WIRE
Quarterbacks
- Injuries of note: Baker Mayfield (ribs) and Sam Darnold (shoulder)
- On a bye: Lamar Jackson, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kirk Cousins and Philip Rivers
- Priority list: Carson Wentz (64% rostered), Derek Carr (52%), Jimmy Garoppolo (35%), Tua Tagovailoa (20%), Daniel Jones (36%), Drew Lock (16%) and Nick Foles (27%)
- Check to see if available: Justin Herbert (86% rostered), Joe Burrow (78%), Gardner Minshew (78%) and Teddy Bridgewater (68%). Herbert would be the No. 1 quarterback to add if available in case someone dropped him during his bye in Week 6. Wentz would be second, followed by Burrow, Minshew and Carr. Bridgewater is a low-end streaming option this week since he has a revenge game on tap at New Orleans.
- Potential drop candidates: Ryan Fitzpatrick (88%), Andy Dalton (65% rostered) and Kirk Cousins (57%). Maybe the Dolphins will trade Fitzpatrick after benching him in favor of Tagovailoa, but you can drop Fitzpatrick in most one-quarterback leagues for now if he's No. 2 on the depth chart in Miami. Dalton was miserable in his first start in place of Dak Prescott (ankle) in Week 6 against Arizona and might not be useful long-term. You could hold him to see what happens at Washington in Week 7, but I would plan for another quarterback option for the rest of the year. And Cousins isn't worth stashing on his bye.

Week 7 Priority List

Running Backs
- Injuries of note: Miles Sanders (knee), Raheem Mostert (ankle), Dalvin Cook (groin), Joe Mixon (foot), Melvin Gordon (illness), Christian McCaffrey (ankle), Austin Ekeler (hamstring), Nick Chubb (knee), Mark Ingram (ankle), Leonard Fournette (ankle), Sony Michel (illness), Carlos Hyde (shoulder), Tevin Coleman (knee) and Jeff Wilson (calf)
- On a bye: Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Myles Gaskin, Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines, Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins
- Priority list: Justin Jackson (59% rostered), Boston Scott (19%), Giovani Bernard (20%), J.D. McKissic (29%), Lamical Perine (26%), JaMychal Hasty (0%), Gus Edwards (18%) and Frank Gore (35%)
- Check to see if available: D'Andre Swift (83% rostered), Jerick McKinnon (82%), Adrian Peterson (81%), James White (75%) and Zack Moss (72%). McKinnon would be the No. 1 running back to add if available given Mostert's injury, followed by Swift. I was hopeful that Swift would come off Detroit's bye in Week 6 and get more work, and he looked great against the Jaguars. Peterson will remain a factor for the Lions as well, and you know what White is capable of in PPR. As for Moss, hopefully he can inject some life into Buffalo's running game and become a quality Fantasy option.
- Handcuffs who matter: Tony Pollard (46%), Jamaal Williams (38%), Brian Hill (30%), Benny Snell (24%) and Devontae Booker (2%). All of these guys are worth stashing if you have an open roster spot, especially Pollard and Snell, who could be lottery tickets if the starter in front of them suffered an injury. And Booker is interesting since after Week 5, Raiders coach Jon Gruden said, according to The Athletic, that he "wants to keep Josh Jacobs fresh and loves the way Devontae Booker is running, so he said you will see more of Booker the rest of the way."
- Potential drop candidates: Mark Ingram (96%), Leonard Fournette (93% rostered), Rex Burkhead (56%) and Nyheim Hines (46%). I don't want to drop Ingram, but it's hard to trust him at this point, especially since he's hurt going into a bye. It's time for J.K. Dobbins to take over this backfield. Fournette could still be a factor for Tampa Bay this season, but he's been hurt for three weeks and isn't taking Ronald Jones off the field any time soon. Burkhead is third on the depth chart in New England behind Damien Harris and White, and Burkhead doesn't have much appeal when both are healthy. And Hines isn't worth stashing on his bye since he's combined for 27 PPR points in his past five games.

Week 6 Priority List

Wide Receivers
- Injuries of note: Michael Thomas (ankle), Keenan Allen (back), DeVante Parker (groin), Darius Slayton (foot), Diontae Johnson (back), Sammy Watkins (hamstring), Allen Lazard (abdomen), Curtis Samuel (knee), Sterling Shepard (toe), Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring)
- On a bye: Adam Thielen, Justin Jefferson, DeVante Parker, Preston Williams, T.Y. Hilton, Zach Pascal and Marquise Brown
- Priority list: Travis Fulgham (51% rostered), Tim Patrick (39%), Christian Kirk (61%), A.J. Green (55%), Mike Williams (54%), Cole Beasley (60%), Keelan Cole (31%), Preston Williams (51%), Sterling Shepard (27%), DeSean Jackson (25%), Demarcus Robinson (2%), Corey Davis (43%), Breshad Perriman (5%) and James Washington (10%).
- Christian Kirk (48%), Tre'Quan Smith (31%), N'Keal Harry (52%), Brandon Aiyuk (57%), Zach Pascal (8%), Olamide Zaccheaus (2%), Darnell Mooney (2 %), Isaiah Ford (1%) and Jeff Smith (0%)
- Check to see if available: Brandin Cooks (79% rostered), Deebo Samuel (76%), Tee Higgins (74%) and Henry Ruggs (72%). Cooks would be the No. 1 receiver to add in all leagues, with Higgins right there with Fulgham. Samuel has 14 targets in his past two games and just scored 18 PPR points against the Rams in Week 6. And Ruggs had his best game of the season in Week 5 against the Chiefs with 19 PPR points.
- Potential drop candidates: Michael Gallup (93% rostered), T.Y. Hilton (92%), Sammy Watkins (75%) and Marvin Jones (66%). Gallup had several chances to score against Arizona, but he's now scored eight PPR points or less in four of six games on the season and is hard to trust with Dalton. Hilton has been a bust in 2020 and isn't a must stash during his bye. Watkins isn't worth stashing while injured. And Jones has six targets or less in four games in a row.

Week 7 Priority List

Tight End
- Injuries of note: Jonnu Smith (ankle), Zach Ertz (ankle), Noah Fant (ankle), Dallas Goedert (ankle), Mo Alie-Cox (knee), Tyler Eifert (neck) and Jordan Akins (concussion)
- On a bye: Mark Andrews, Mike Gesicki, Trey Burton and Irv Smith
- Priority list: Dallas Goedert (40% rostered), Anthony Firkser (0%), Austin Hooper (56%), Trey Burton (21%), Darren Fells (10%), Logan Thomas (16%) and Irv Smith (10%)
- Check to see if available: Noah Fant (82% rostered), Hayden Hurst (82%), Jared Cook (71%) and Rob Gronkowski (68%). I'm hopeful that Fant can return this week from his one-game absence, and he would be a must-start Fantasy option when healthy. Hurst has scored in three of his past five games and hopefully can start producing on a consistent level. Cook has a touchdown or 80 receiving yards in three of four games this year. And Gronkowski has 14 targets in his past two games.
- Potential drop candidate: Tyler Higbee (86% rostered). Higbeen scored 28 PPR points in Week 2 at Philadelphia. In his other five games, he's combined for 31 PPR points, and he has five targets or less in every game this year.
