Week 7 Waiver Adds Under 50% Owned

1. Omar Cooper Jr., WR, New York Jets, 6% Owned , Adonai Mitchell continues to nurse a finger injury, and Garrett Wilson owners were probably a little perplexed when Cooper Jr. exploded onto the scene for 23 fantasy points in full PPR formats. Geno Smith has shown at various points in his career that he can support two fantasy relevant wide receivers, but at this stage, Cooper might be more matchup dependent than a weekly starter. He has sneaky appeal if Mitchell continues to miss time, and his upside would increase even further if Wilson were to go down as well. At just 6% rostered, Cooper is worth a speculative add in deeper leagues, especially for managers looking for a receiver with some breakout potential.

2. New Orleans Saints D/ST, 10% Owned , The Saints have put together back to back double digit fantasy scoring performances, making them worth a look for managers searching for a streaming defense. While two strong performances don't necessarily guarantee consistent production, defenses that generate sacks and turnovers can provide fantasy value even when they're not shutting down opposing offenses. The matchup should ultimately determine whether the Saints are worth starting in Week 7, but they're certainly worth monitoring after their recent production.

3. Demario Douglas, WR, New England Patriots, 9% Owned , Demario looked good with the revitalized Drake Maye leading the way. Douglas also managed to put together a respectable fantasy performance despite A.J. Brown returning from injury and competing for targets. Maye has shown the ability to push the ball downfield, and Douglas has demonstrated that he can create separation and develop chemistry with his quarterback. A few missed deep connections could have significantly changed Douglas' fantasy outcome, giving him even more upside than his final numbers suggest. He's still a speculative add rather than a guaranteed weekly starter, but in deeper PPR leagues, Douglas is worth a look as a potential flex option.

4. Kendre Miller, RB, New Orleans Saints, 34% Owned , Kendre managed 20 carries and 2 targets against the Giants in New Orleans' victory. Alvin Kamara had an injury scare during the game, which helped Miller become more involved than usual. Kamara's age, workload, and injury history are all worth monitoring as the season progresses. If he were to miss time, Miller could become the de facto lead running back in a respectable offense, giving him significant fantasy upside. With Travis Etienne expected to be out until at least Week 8, Miller could also benefit from the changing running back landscape across fantasy leagues. He isn't necessarily a must start while Kamara remains healthy, but he's the type of running back worth stashing before an injury forces everyone else to scramble for replacements.

5. Mike Washington Jr., RB, Las Vegas Raiders, 30% Rostered , Washington is an intriguing running back stash heading into Week 7, especially for managers looking for help at the position. The rookie has the size and athleticism to handle a meaningful workload, and the Raiders have plenty of incentive to see what they have in their young talent as the season progresses. With Ashton Jeanty still leading the backfield, Washington isn't someone I'd automatically plug into a starting lineup, but his potential to earn more touches makes him worth a roster spot. Running back depth becomes increasingly valuable as injuries pile up and bye weeks force managers to dig deeper into their benches. At around 30% rostered, Washington is worth adding in deeper leagues before his role potentially grows.
