Top NFL Week 7 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Additions
The 2025 NFL season continues to unfold, and fantasy football managers are on the lookout for key waiver wire additions. Here’s a breakdown of essential players to consider for your fantasy lineups this week, covering various league sizes and some to avoid.
Top NFL Week 7 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Additions
Quarterbacks to Target
- Jaxson Dart, New York Giants (Rostered in 35.4% of leagues on ESPN)
Dart has shown impressive performance as the Giants’ starter. He has played three games, scoring twice and rushing for over 50 yards each time on just 10 carries. His average of 20.3 fantasy points per start positions him as a solid mid-to-low-end QB1. While he faces a tougher schedule ahead, his rushing ability provides a consistent floor, making him a viable option for Week 7. - Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals (Rostered in 4.5%)
Recently traded to the Bengals, Flacco made an immediate impact in his debut. He completed 29 of 45 passes, amassing 219 yards and two touchdowns, earning 18.8 fantasy points. Flacco connected well with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and as he builds chemistry with them, he can be a valuable fantasy addition. His upcoming match against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, could enhance his appeal.
Expectations and Trends
Both Dart and Flacco bring unique strengths to their teams. Dart’s rushing prowess makes him a valuable asset even against tougher defenses. Flacco’s recent performance suggests he could perform well against teams that struggle to contain quarterbacks. Managers in 10, 12, or even 16-team leagues should consider adding these players to enhance their rosters.
Future Matchups
The Bengals will face a favorable schedule ahead, with three of their next five games against teams in the top three for fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. This could position Flacco as a top-10 fantasy quarterback for the remainder of the season.
Make sure to evaluate these players based on your league format and needs. Adding the right quarterbacks at this stage can provide a critical boost as the season progresses.
