Every week of the fantasy football season, you can find the best available options that can give your team a boost right here on Fansided. To help keep the list stocked with real options, only players who are available in over half of ESPN leagues are eligible. 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 after week 7. 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.
For the first time thie season, we have a returning top option 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.
