Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Top Week 7 options include 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell
Jacob Gibbs breaks down the best widely-available Fantasy football free agents heading into Week 7
Before you determine which players you should target on the Fantasy football waiver wire ahead of Week 7, you NEED to see what Jacob Gibbs has to say.
Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation's most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years -- posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past three seasons, according to Fantasy Pros.
Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents following Week 6. One player to target on the Week 7 waiver wire: 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell. On a per-touch basis, he's been one of the most productive backs in the NFL since entering the league in 2021 but he's missed more games than he's played in his career (21 to 19) and has had to fight through a crowd in the San Francisco running backs' room.Â
However, he'll have a chance to move into a more significant role with Christian McCaffrey battling an oblique issue. It's not expected to be a long-term absence for McCaffrey, but there's no guarantee he'll be able to play in Week 7 and possibly beyond. Some Fantasy players stashed Mitchell in the draft or earlier in the season, but he's still available in around 50% of leagues, so he's a high-priority pickup in leagues he's available.Â
Gibbs is also all-in on a quarterback close to returning from injury! This player is still widely available and could be a HUGE boost to your roster moving forward! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any Week 7 waiver wire claims.
