Week 7 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Arrelious Benn and More Must-Add WRs
Wes Welker, Hakeem Nicks, DeSean Jackson and Stevie Johnson all have a bye in Week 7, not to mention the myriad of depth receivers on this week's bye. So fantasy football owners will once again be searching the waiver wire for solid replacements. Here are three wide receivers you should consider.
All scoring projections based on standard fantasy football scoring rules and all players listed are available in at least 98 percent of ESPN leagues.

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Nate Washington received most of the fantasy hype when Kenny Britt's season came to an end, but it might actually be Williams who benefits the most. He was an afterthought in the offense until Tennessee's No. 1 receiver went down and now he's seeing consistent targets, especially in the red zone.
Before the Titans' bye last week, Williams caught six passes for 66 yards and a touchdown against the top-ranked Steelers pass defense. The Houston Texans won't provide as much resistance, which should lead to another strong game for the USC product.
Week 7 Projection: 8 fantasy points
Dane Sanzenbacher – Chicago Bears
Sanzenbacher is an interesting case. He has a lot of fantasy potential because Jay Cutler looks to him more than anyone else in the red zone, which has led to touchdowns in three of the team's six games. However, his targets outside the red zone vary greatly from week to week.
In Week 7 he gets a middling Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, which will be spending most of it's time focusing on Matt Forte. If you're a risk-taker, Sanzenbacher's for you. He has the potential to catch a couple TDs and put you over the top, but it's not without risk.
Week 7 Projection: 7 fantasy points
Arrelious Benn – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Benn has to potential to be a very useful fantasy wideout. He's a deep threat that just hasn't develop the consistency you would like to see from a player with his talent. His outing against the New Orleans Saints was a step in the right direction in Week 6, so we'll see if he can back it up this weekend.
Fantasy owners will definitely want to get ahead of the curve on Benn. A few more good weeks and he'll be flying off waiver wires like hotcakes. Look for the second-year receiver to really come into his own following the team's Week 8 bye.
