The last week brought two rewards for fantasy football owners: Latavius Murray replaced Melvin Gordon, and Greg Dulcich made his long-awaited debut.
Fantasy waiver wire Week 7: Robbie Anderson, Rondale Moore, Greg Dulcich…
Top fantasy waiver wire pickups for Week 7:
- Robbie Anderson, WR, Cardinals
Anderson has potential in fantasy once more after being traded to Arizona on Monday. Evidently, Anderson stayed in Carolina for too long.
As a result of Marquise Brown’s foot injury, Anderson will have to compete for targets with DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore for at least the next six weeks.
Given Arizona’s questionable injury history, Anderson might find himself receiving a fair number of looks in the offense’s high-tempo sooner rather than later. Get him now, even if he doesn’t play against New Orleans in Week 7.
- Rondale Moore, WR, Cardinals

- Gus Edwards, RB, Ravens
Edwards was given a window of 21 days starting on October 6 to make a return, and he is reportedly “getting close” to doing so. Consequently, it seems as though this week will occur, and considering JK Dobbins’ current knee issues, Edwards may find himself playing a crucial role right soon.
Due to his career average of 5.2 yards per rush and the potential for him to produce fantasy value even if Dobbins stays healthy, he is worth stashing.
- Latavius Murray, RB, Broncos
Denver’s primary rushing back on Monday night was Murray, who racked up 66 yards on 15 carries.
Mike Boone just had one carry, while Melvin Gordon only had three before even being benched, seemingly without reason.
Although Gordon entered the game with rib and ankle issues, no injuries were disclosed during play. It’s anyone’s guess who will start at running back when the Jets visit the following week, but at this point, Murray has to be considered the team’s captain. He is at the very least worthy of a free agent addition on the off chance that he continues to be a significant part of Denver’s backfield.
- Greg Dulcich, TE, Broncos
Dulcich was eagerly anticipated during the preseason, but a hamstring injury kept him out of the first five games. He lived up to the sleeper expectations in his Week 6 debut, collecting two of his three receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown.
The most telling detail, demonstrating that Dulcich had the primary TE position to lose, was perhaps the fact that Albert Okwuegbunam was a healthy scratch. He’s worth getting in 12-team leagues, especially with a favorable Week 7 matchup against the Jets.
