Week 7 Waiver Wire - Five Names Worth Your FAAB

Josh Norris (0:00)

It's the Week 7 WaverWire with Joel Smyth. Look, we're back in a big way. Jeremy Bernard was the wide receiver 3 this past week. Let's see if we can continue to streak now.

Not many great names out there, but we talked through 12 to 15 of them. I know you have many more bye weeks and injuries moving forward. So we talk about the Titan 13 in Fantasy Point so far this season. That might surprise you because he's a second Titan-ish on his team, plus a bunch of running backs, wide receivers, and yes, even superflexed quarterbacks out there that we expect to be named starters this week.

Ends 11-16-26 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. I want all of you to take a moment, close your eyes, and think of the best sporting event that you've ever attended. That instead of just sitting on your couch watching on television, you actually went to the game. For me, I was in college. Steph Curry Davidson was playing the NCAA tournament against Georgetown in Raleigh. It was like Patrick Ewing Jr., all these 6'11 guys versus Steph Curry and these 6'7 dudes. And I was like, I have to go see this. I have to go see the guy that is launching shots from half court, even if they have no chance to win. And guess what? They won. And it was so much better because I was actually there versus sitting at home. And you can be there in the action by using Game Time. College football is coming up, NFL preseason to watch your favorite rookies. It's all available here on Game Time. And it's not just that. Like I am scrolling to see what is available this weekend in my area.

I can go see Hilary Duff if I want to, or the Dirty Govnas. I mean, whatever you want, it's here on Game Time. So get your friends together, get your tickets and tell them it's Game Time.

Is this the worst waiver wire of the season? Most likely. Should you still watch this video?

Of course you should. Why? Well, Joel Smyth and I are about to talk through 20-ish names to hopefully find some treasure in the trash of all of you out there. Joel, I do want to remind the people coming up, the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chargers and the Commanders are all on buy. And there are three obvious names that are still 50% or less rostered out there in Yahoo Leagues. Tre Tucker at 45%, Jeremy Bernard, our guy who broke the streak last week at 50%, and Balik Washington off his buy week at 41%. Joel, if any of these guys are eligible, they should be the number one pickups out there for people, correct?

Joel Smyth (3:46)

Yeah, 100%.

Josh Norris (3:47)

Yes.

I didn't want to take a moment for Tre Tucker. I think you and I have talked about this before. Maybe you made this comparison. I do too many shows where I can't figure out who said what. But that Tre Tucker might be like Clint Kubiak's new Rashid Shahid, the Saints version of this. He was the wide receiver one this past week. Vertical, vertical, vertical is the name of his game. But then when he threatens with that speed, he peels it back to find a section of space. Then goes the front pylon for that lofted touchdown pass. And again, that's so much vertical speed that you get these free releases and off coverage with condensed splits or stacking with Brock Bowers that Joel in games where the Raiders really have to be pushed due to the game script and due to the projected point totals.
