The NFL has five unbeaten teams as we head into week seven, and while some have been way more impressive than others (yes, Denver, we’re looking at you), all of them are in prime position to make a playoff push. Whether your fantasy football team is faring that well, struggling at the bottom, or somewhere in the middle of the pack–you could probably use a boost from one of my top 10 targets on the fantasy football waiver wire this week.

There are many factors each week that effect players value in fantasy football and cause them to rise and fall in rankings. Some options are stepping into bigger roles with their teams or covering for an injured teammate. As teams go through bye weeks, fantasy football owners need to keep their roster fluid to ensure that the best possible lineup is on the field each week.
To help you find the top pickups, each Tuesday on Fansided you can find my top 10 fantasy football waiver wire targets. Before we get to this week’s picks a couple of reminders. First, I only highlight players who are available in over 50% of ESPN leagues (ownership percentages as of Monday night included in parentheses). Players like Duke Johnson, Ryan Tannehill, and Michael Crabtree may be available in your league and make good pickups, but I can’t include them in this post since they are too owned.
Secondly, each week I highlight at least one quarterback, one running back, one wide receiver, on tight end, and one team defense. To see deep league pickups or “honorable mentions” for my top ten, scroll to the final slide of this post.
If you’re not sure which move to make, you can always ask me on Twitter @FansidedFantasy where I do my best to answer as many questions as I can. You can also find more coverage, rankings, sleepers, and previews throughout the rest of the week on our Fantasy Football hub.
This week, there are some pickups with potential down the road and some one-week fill-ins. To find the options I like best from the fantasy football waiver wire, click through the slides or use your arrows to navigate my top ten.
