Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Top 10 Pickups for Week 7
Marvin Jones-Cincinnati Bengals (29.1%)
The Bengals offense has morphed a bit each week to match the weaknesses of their competition as they’ve ridden a hot Andy Dalton to an undefeated start. This week was Marvin Jones’ time to shine as the Bills focused on taking away A.J. Green.
Jones caught nine passes for 95 yards and a cartwheeling touchdown in the Bengals’ 34-21 road win while being targeted a team-high 12 times. Jones had one brutal game this year catching just one pass for four yards against the Chiefs, but other than that he has been over 60 yards in each of his last four games. He also has three touchdowns in his last five games and is one of Dalton’s favorite red zone targets.
The Bengals are on a bye this week, so Jones won’t help you in week 7, but they have a few nice matchups ahead including the Steelers and Texans. If your need for a wide receiver can wait a week, Jones is the second-best option behind Diggs and is a fairly low-risk pickup from the fantasy football waiver wire.
