Russell Wilson ($6,600)
So far this season Seattle has displayed a rather middle of the road defense, which has often forced Russell Wilson to be more aggressive both as a runner and a passer. That has quietly translated into averages of 284 passing yards and over 25 rushing yards per game with 17 combined touchdowns through the first six weeks. This week the Ravens come to town, but this game profiles to be nothing like we would have imagined just a season or two ago. These days Baltimore’s defense is arguably worse than Seattle’s, while at the same time second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson has been giving defensive coordinators nightmares and has the team averaging more than 30 points per game. That makes this exactly the type of spot where Wilson has historically put the Seahawks on his back, and this game has all the makings of a high-scoring affair where he should put up a huge fantasy day.

Let’s start with the obvious news. The Giants are likely getting their star running back Saquon Barkley back for this matchup against the Cardinals. Evan Engram is also likely to return as well, which means that Daniel Jones should perform far better than his last outing. Facing a Cardinals team that has allowed nearly 414 yards per game at home, why on Earth would anyone pick Arizona in this matchup?

With no blockbuster waiver-wire targets hitting the scene this week, it should be in the best interest of most redraft team owners to continue to save their waiver wire position or FAAB budget for when one does.But with that being said, it is still crucial to constantly be working the free-agent market to find the players that could lead to value and wins down the road.Here are your Week 7 “In the Scope” candidates that could soon be the top waiver claims of tomorrow.

0 – Games remaining on Jarran Reed’s six-game suspension. Expect Reed to be a top tier DT as early as next week. Poona Ford played 84% of snaps against Cleveland. That snap share will go down.

6 – Total tackles by Najee Goode. Goode’s stat line included 1.0 sack and 1 PD. Goode played 95% of snaps and has fully replaced third-round rookie Quincy Williams. Williams looked foolish last week trying to tackle Christian McCafferty and has since been benched.

Auden Tate has become a consistent part of the Bengals offense through six weeks, an offense that has spent an average of 38 minutes and 47 seconds trailing per game. If this trend continues, and the Bengals have shown nothing to say that it won’t, Andy Dalton will be passing the ball a lot. The Bengals have averaged 40.5 passing attempts per game and since Week 2, an average of 8.5 targets per game have headed Auden Tate’s way. Their upcoming opponents and their once feared defenses have been middle of the pack this season when it comes to allowing fantasy points to wide receivers (JAX 15th and LAR 21st in points allowed to WRs in 2019).

Kirk Cousins (MIN) vs. Lions, 26.6% owned
All of a sudden, the Vikings have opened up their offense to include far more passing. Cousins has exceeded 300 passing yards in each of the last two weeks. In Week 6 against the Eagles, star receiver Stefon Diggs finally got going, breaking out for seven receptions, 167 yards, and three receiving touchdowns. Cousins also continued his chemistry with his other great receiver Adam Thielen, connecting for six receptions, 57 yards, and a touchdown. For the season, Cousins has nine passing touchdowns compared to just three interceptions, making him a reliable and relatively safe quarterback. To further advocate for Cousins, his Week 8 and Week 9 matchups are against the Redskins and Chiefs, respectively, so this could be a three-week run for Cousins. Given the poor state of streamers in Week 7, Cousins will likely be ranked as a borderline QB1 in a relatively neutral matchup against the Lions.
The Colts started this season with one of the messiest depth charts at DE. Jabaal Sheard, Justin Houston, Al-Quaddin Muhammad, Kemoko Turay, and Ben Banogu. Sheard missed the first four games of the season. Back to full strength in Week 5 and Turay broke his ankle and will miss the remainder of the season. It’s a tough break for the second-round sophomore. Sheard will be a UFA following the season. If he doesn’t resign look for Houston, Turay, and Banogu to headline this group next season.

Each week I recap the top performances by this year’s rookie defenders. Some are well-known names and others come out of nowhere. Rookies are highly coveted in the dynasty community, but their value can be very volatile at times. In this series each week, we’ll look at their numbers and what impact they have. I am also including their snap counts and percentage of snaps. These snap counts can tell us a lot about how much a player is being used and the opportunities they have to make plays. I like to target rookies that play 80% plus of the team’s defensive snaps. Let’s jump right into this week’s group.

Dede Westbrook ($16) vs. New Orleans – (Cash and GPP).
On Yahoo this week, Westbrook represents the receiver I project as the highest point per dollar value play on the slate. First, I absolutely love D.J. Chark and have been on him nearly every week so far, but against New Orleans, I’m afraid he gets the Marshon Lattimore treatment. And Lattimore looks back to his old self after some early season concerns, limiting Amari Cooper to five catches for 48 yards in Week 4, and completely shutting out Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans on Sunday. While Lattimore is busy following Chark around, Jacksonville should find success exploiting the Saints’ weakness when it comes to slot receivers. Westbrook is running 78.3% of his routes out of the slot according to PlayerProfiler, and this usage profiles similarly to players like Tyler Lockett (61.7% of routes out of the slot) and Cooper Kupp (76.2% of routes out of the slot). In meetings with New Orleans earlier this season, Kupp posted 5 catches for 120 yards in Week 2 and Lockett followed up with 11 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Even Tampa Bay’s WR2, Chris Godwin, runs a little over 50% of his routes out of the slot on the year, and he torched New Orleans for 125 yards and two touchdowns on seven receptions last week. At just $16, Westbrook is an absolute steal given his usage, role, and highly appealing matchup.

3 – IDP left the game with an injury. Xavier Williams (ankle) left after 10 snaps. Anthony Hitchens (groin) left after 11 snaps. Chris Jones (groin) left after 38 snaps. Ben Nieman replaced Hitchens and played every down. Derrick Nnadi (77%) saw a substantial increase in snaps with both Jones and Williams out. Third-round rookie Khalen Saunders played his first 33 defensive snaps of the season.
