There are some significant fantasy players on byes in week seven, and some who suffered early injuries are returning. This is a critical point for fantasy managers, and being on top of the waiver wire can make a big difference. Here are some of the players you should keep an eye out for.

It was slim pickings when it came to quarterbacks this week. Jimmy Garoppolo was the most popular name this week. Maybe your starting quarterback is Josh Allen and you need a streaming option. Garoppolo could be your best option against Kansas City at home this week.
Kenyan Drake was the most popular running back this week, and it’s understandable coming off a 119-yard rushing effort against the Giants. The Giants have been gashed in the running game at times this year, but Leonard Williams is a great run defender and he returned for the game. JK Dobbins has dealt with a knee injury and has overall not been great for fantasy this year. Drake could be in for another big week against a Browns defense that has disappointed.
Giants rookie wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson was easily the most popular receiver target this week. He had a limited role in the offense but still caught a touchdown against Baltimore. He was the second-round pick for the Giants in this year’s draft, and should see an increased role as the season goes along. He has similar traits to Kadarius Toney, who is out for the foreseeable future with a hamstring injury. With Sterling Shepard out for the season and Kenny Golladay missing time as well, Robinson has a chance to become the featured receiver in the Giants offense.
There wasn’t one overwhelming name for tight ends this week, but it seems the Broncos have moved away from Albert Okwuegbunam. He was a healthy scratch on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. Denver’s coaching staff seems to like Greg Dulcich better. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him take over as the first tight end in Denver.
