Week 7 Waiver Wire: Sam Bradford, James Jones, Jackie Battle and 6 Must-Adds

Zach KruseOct 17, 2011

While a handful of waiver wire additions could come from the Jets-Dolphins game on Monday night, these six players are worthy of a pickup in Week 7:

QB Sam Bradford, Rams

We've known the talent was there with Bradford, but he finally had receivers make a few plays for him Sunday against the Packers. While he failed to get the ball into the end zone and threw an interception, things look better for Bradford and the Rams offense. He'll also have Brandon Lloyd in his receiving corps next week, as the Rams successfully traded for the Pro Bowl receiver Tuesday.

RB Jackie Battle, Chiefs

Battle is still available in over 60 percent of leagues, which is crazy considering the Chiefs' current backfield situation. No Jamaal Charles and an aging Thomas Jones means plenty of touches for Battle. The Chiefs will need him to carry the load on the ground against the Raiders this Sunday.

RB Delone Carter/Donald Brown, Colts

Carter got 14 carries to Brown's five, but Brown found the end zone and also caught two passes. As long as Joseph Addai is out, these two will continue to split touches. Brown is probably the better play solely because he's more versatile, but both are worth a look in bigger leagues.

WR Darius Heyward-Bey, Raiders

Skepticism about DHB has turned into optimism, as the Raiders' speedy receiver has turned in three straight solid performances. He has been over 80 yards in each of the past three weeks. For those of you in leagues where the skepticism ruled, grab Heyward-Bey while you still can. Even the most pessimistic owners can't ignore his recent stat lines.  

WR James Jones, Packers

The Packers are always going to be a tough offense to gauge in fantasy terms, mostly because the team has so many options to go to in the passing game. However, Jones has three straight games with a touchdown. Expecting him to get in the end zone every week is a stretch, but he's contributing enough right now to be fantasy relevant. 

WR Greg Little, Browns

Colt McCoy targeted Little 14 times on Sunday, which was far and away the highest among Browns receivers. It seems for now that Cleveland has committed to Little as their No. 1 receiver. As long as he's getting that many targets—and then starts catching a higher percentage—Little will be a guy to keep your eye on.
