Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Top 10 Pickups for Week 7

Rishard Matthews-WR-Miami Dolphins (45.6%)

The Dolphins looked much improved in their win over the Titans after struggling mightily to start the year under former head coach Joe Philbin.  With Philbin out and Dan Campbell in, the offense took a more physical, run-heavy approach, but they still had plenty of looks for Rishard Matthews who has clearly emerged as the number-2 receiver across from Landry Jones.

Matthews played 60 of Miami’s 67 offensive snaps and finished with catches on all six of his targets for a total of 85 yards.  He has at least 85 yards in three of his last four games and has found the end zone three times this season.  As long as he can secure the starting job, Matthews will be a solid WR3 consideration.

This week, Miami hosts Houston before a three-game road trip to New England, Buffalo, and Philadelphia.  If Matthews continues to start, he’s usable in all those matchups and should be considered in almost all formats this week against a beatable Houston secondary.
