Waiver Wire2026 NFL Week 7
Published Tuesday, October 20, 2026
This is from a past week. The current week's calls are on the weekly page.
Four adds with a claim priority, two drop candidates, and one deep-league stash. Researched live by AI from that week's news, so verify before you act.
Waiver Adds
- Omar Cooper Jr. (WR, NYJ). Claim priority: HIGH Cooper had 100+ yards and a touchdown in his return from IR and has an open door to a big role in the Jets' passing game, and he's a first-round rookie with a very high ceiling who ran 82% route participation with a 23.3% target share in his first full game.
- Kendre Miller (RB, NO). Claim priority: HIGH Miller handled 20 touches for approximately 70 total yards while Alvin Kamara entered the game dealing with a back injury that limited him throughout the week, then exited during the second quarter with an apparent thigh or hip issue.
- Mike Washington Jr. (RB, LV). Claim priority: MEDIUM Washington played a season-high 35% of the snaps and turned his 10 touches into 50 scrimmage yards, and Jeanty is dealing with a foot/ankle injury that is clearly limiting him on the field.
- New York Jets (DST, NYJ). Claim priority: LOW They have forced 8 turnovers and 17 sacks heading into a matchup against Miami.
Drop Candidates
- Romeo Doubs (WR, NE). In addition to A.J. Brown's return, Doubs suffered a shoulder injury attempting a touchdown catch.
- Dalton Schultz (TE, HOU). He has seen his route participation rates decline as Houston is using more of its run-blocking tight ends.
Deep League Stash
- Ja'Kobi Lane (WR, BAL). Lane hauled in 4-of-5 targets for 40 yards in the loss versus the Browns, already showing that he can get involved in the offense, and his role safe regardless of Bateman's status makes him a cheap 14-team bench hold.
