As a refresher, The Drop List consists of players who are no longer must-have assets, recommended additions are available in over 50% of Sleeper, ESPN, or Yahoo leagues, the Watch List contains in-depth notes on fringe waiver adds, and Deep Leagues includes player notes on potential waiver adds in 14-team and 20-round leagues.
If your roster is top-heavy and exclusively limited to the best long-term stashes, we recommend reviewing the One Injury Away list ahead of Week 7.
Labeled week-to-week after suffering a hamstring injury in London, Travis Etienne has yet to finish any higher than the RB21 in a single game this year, being out-touched 28-27 by Tank Bigsby since Week 3.
Nick Chubb is expected to make his season debut in Week 7, pushing Jerome Ford (currently dealing with a hamstring injury himself) further down Cleveland’s pecking order.
Viewed as an elite contingency option behind Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears‘ week-to-week hamstring injury removes him from must-stash territory (wherever another able body is needed). Review the One Injury Away list to prioritize him accordingly.
Zamir White‘s fumble (for an ensuing defensive score) in the fourth quarter against Los Angeles in Week 4 firmly plants him behind Alexander Mattison once the former returns from his groin injury.
According to Chiefs HC Andy Reid, Rashee Rice‘s 2024 season is over following “an ACL-like timeline” post-op.
For those looking to roster the best available player(s) regardless of position, the rankings above weigh every position minus the players’ actual positions for all formats. These are listed in the precise order I would prioritize waiver claims in those leagues for Week 7. Adjust for what you need on your roster — immediate touches, high-upside bench stashes, targets, one-week spot starters, etc.
