Week 7 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: James Jones and 3 Players You Must Add

Stuck with a dud for a starter or looking to soften the blow of losing a superstar to their bye week? Don't panic. There are a few players you can pick up off the waiver wire this week who are locks to put up big points this week and save your team from squalor.

Here are a few guys you have to add off the waiver wire this week.

James Jones

With so many weapons in Green Bay's receiving corp, it's hard to pinpoint exactly which one is going to explode for a monster day. Aaron Rodgers threw for 297 yards in the least productive game he's had all season, so pinpointing who is going to take off can mean a massive amount of points for your team.

This week, it's James Jones. He's way down the pecking order in Green Bay, but Minnesota ranks 24th in pass defense and Jones proved two weeks ago during his 140-yard performance against the Falcons that he's capable of catching fire when the Packers throw the ball.

This game is going to be much closer than people expect and Rodgers will have to keep throwing in order to keep pace with the pace Adrian Peterson sets. While the Vikings try to account for Green Bay's more highly touted receivers, Jones is going to break loose.

Tashard Choice

With Felix Jones out, Tashard Choice is going to be getting a healthy dose of carries against the worst run defense in the league. The favorable matchup and increased role makes Choice a can't miss fantasy acquisition this week.

The Rams allow 161.8 rushing YPG. If Choice is even able to obtain half that and crack the end zone once, starting choice will be an overwhelming success this week. He's not a permanent solution, but for a spot start he's ideal.

Carson Palmer

The Raiders didn't trade a first-round pick and conditional first-round pick in order to watch Carson Palmer hand the ball off to Darren McFadden. While McFadden is clearly going to remain the centerpiece of the offense, the Raiders are going to get the vertical passing game going.

The Raiders have a ton of untapped potential and Jason Campbell was even a viable fantasy option before he went down. Darrius Heyward-Bey has over 80 yards in each of the last three games and the addition of Palmer's big arm brings an entirely new element to the offense. Don't waste time with Curtis Painter, John Beck or Christian Ponder. Palmer is the risk you want to take.
