We are six full weeks into the 2025 NFL season, and with that, you are six weeks into your fantasy football season. Injuries have ravaged the fantasy football landscape so far, but you can catch back up to your leaguemates – or stay ahead of them – with these Week 7 waiver wire pickups.
With Puka Nacua picking up an ankle injury and Marvin Harrison Jr. leaving Week 6 with a concussion, your wide receiver room is losing even more of its depth, depth that it didn’t have to begin with entering the week. This is the part of the season where you can make the minor improvements on your roster that can help get you through a few rough patches before your star players return.
The following list includes players that are rostered on fewer than 50 percent of all ESPN rosters making the chances you can pick them up pretty high. Heading into Week 7, try your best to button up the edges of your roster as you look to start the season strong.
1. RB Kimani Vidal, Los Angeles Chargers
27.1% Rostered
After Hassan Haskins earned the starter’s role in Week 6, the Los Angeles Chargers flipped the script and handed that role over to Kimani Vidal in Week 7. Vidal earned 21 total touches (18 carries) in LAC’s win over the Miami Dolphins, and he certainly made the most of his workload.
Vidal rushed for 124 yards and caught a receiving touchdown, easily outpacing Haskins. While a one-two punch is expected moving forward for the Chargers, Vidal certainly did enough to earn another look as the team’s starter moving into Week 7.
2. QB Jaxson Dart, New York Giants
35.4% Rostered
The lights weren’t too bright for rookie QB Jaxson Dart, as he was impressive against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football. Showing his skills both through the air and on the ground, Dart put together an impressive game from the jump, and he was able to make things work even without both Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton.
The quarterback group in free agency isn’t likely going to impress you, so if Dart is available for you, do what you can to add him to your roster, as his dual-threat upside is real.
3. WR Kendrick Bourne, San Francisco 49ers
37.7% Rostered
Kendrick Bourne and Mac Jones are doing their best to carry the San Francisco 49ers through their injuries on offense, as Bourne put together another 100-yard outing as Jones’ favorite target. It was another 142-yard effort for Bourne, his second consecutive, as he was able to do that much damage on only five receptions.
With Jauan Jennings nursing five broken ribs and numerous ankle injuries, and Ricky Pearsall still not cleared to return, Bourne should reprise his role in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons.
4. WR Tez Johnson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
0.7% Rostered
Injuries to Emeka Egbuka, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin force rookie Tez Johnson...
