With NFL week 6 wrapping up last night in St. Louis, fantasy football owners need to get their lineups together for the final game of the first half in most standard leagues.  Hopefully, your team is in a good place and ready for a playoff push, but if the mounting injuries or upcoming bye-weeks have you headed to the waiver wire, you’ve come to the right place for your top 10 week 7 pickups.

Every Tuesday, you can find the top ten widely available options that you should consider right here on Fansided.  To help keep the list realistic, it is limited to those players available in over half of ESPN leagues. That means alumni like Kelvin Benjamin, Branden Oliver, Ahmad Bradshaw, Andre Williams, and Justin Forsett aren’t on this list even though they should be picked up if they’re still floating out there in your league.  If you have any roster-specific questions, the fastest way to get them answered is to ask us @FansidedFantasy on twitter.

All references to points are based on ESPN standard scoring unless otherwise noted to give a common scoring system for comparison.  The percentages included after the players team is their ownership percentage as of Monday. To help as many owners as possible, I’ll include at least one player from each primary position–QB, RB, WR, TE, and team defense.  Stay tuned to our Fantasy football hub for more coverage throughout the week as we delve deeper into each position.

As usual, we have several returners from the top ten from last week meaning these players continue to be available even though they’re putting up consistent numbers.  Depending on your team need and scoring system, your team’s needs will vary, but the players on the following slides are the top ten to look for as you race to the waiver wire this week.
