I’m Tara Roberts with Yahoo Fantasy bringing you early waiver wire pickups.
We’ve only got two teams on a buy, but the injuries are really piling up this week.
So pickups are going to be critical.
Let’s take a look at three guys you can add heading into week seven.
Jordan Mason suffered a shoulder injury this week.
Mason is considered day to day and it’s possible that he plays this week.
However, we have heard it before, day to day often turns into week to week before, you know it and Christian mccaffrey isn’t even close to returning.
So we need to look at Isaac Garino.
The rookie had 10 carries on Thursday night, 4, 99 yards, no receptions, no touchdowns kept it from being a big game from a fantasy perspective, but he was efficient and impressive.
And if Mason is out Garino will lead the 49ers backfield, the 49er play Kansas city and while it’s a tough matchup, the 49er run game is excellent.
Overall, Garin would be a strong running back to play.
Don’t break the bank here because again, this could be short term in terms of a fill in, especially with the 49er heading into a bi week in week nine.
So Garino is well worth the ad here, Michael Wilson is another player who could step in due to injury.
Marvin Harrison Junior suffered a concussion today and Wilson has been the clear wide receiver two for the Cardinals this season.
Wilson’s day wasn’t spectacular.
He had two receptions on four targets for 21 yards, but he did get a touchdown to save the day.
The vast majority of Kyler Murray’s completions went to Trey mcbride and the running backs, but that is not particularly alarming in a matchup against Green Bay this week marked the lowest targets.
Wilson has had since way back in week two before he asserted himself as the wide receiver too.
Marvin Harrison junior is inactive in week seven.
Wilson would be a strong flex play.
Drake may may not have gotten the win in his rookie debut but the Patriots pass came look much improved and the biggest beneficiary there was Demario Douglas who caught six of his nine targets for 92 yards and a touchdown.
It makes sense that Douglas benefited overall.
He’s the only receiver that has maintained some level of productivity throughout the entire season.
He also showcased upside last year volume should continue to favor Douglas as he’s had nine targets in three of his last four games.
In week seven.
The Patriots have a dream matchup against Jacksonville if May plays well, Demario Douglas would be right there with him making Douglas a strong pickup.
