Every week, we examine players that may be available on your league's waiver wire that could help your team in the short and/or long term.
For a player to be listed, he must be rostered in 50 percent (or less) of Yahoo! leagues. The goal is to provide recommendations of players that have a greater chance of being available on your league's waiver wire. Of course, your league's size and settings could significantly impact whether these players (or better options) are available in your particular league(s).
With that said, here are some quarterback waiver-wire options to consider heading into Week 7 (Yahoo! % rostered in parenthesis):
[Note: Players listed below are sorted by our preference to add.]
Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins (16%)
Tagovailoa returned to the field and proceeded to throw it 47 times for 329 yards, two touchdowns and an interception and added 22 rushing yards. If you're looking for a streamer, Tagovailoa could be a viable option as the Dolphins return from their trip across the pond to face the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season.
The Falcons have allowed three top-six weekly quarterbacks in their five games played this season. In those three games, they allowed a total of 11 passing touchdowns with zero interceptions.
Justin Fields, Chicago Bears (32%)
Going into Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Fields was about as bad as it could get as a fantasy quarterback. After all, he had finished the week as the QB34, QB32 and QB31, respectively, in his first three weeks as the starter.
Not great, but things were a little better in Week 6. Fields finished 16-of-27 for 174 yards, a touchdown and an interception to go along with six carries for 43 yards. It was good to see him use his legs more, which could help create a fantasy floor in games where the passing numbers are mediocre.
Fields isn't someone that I'd want to stream against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 even though the matchup is favorable, but the potential for increased utilization of his rushing ability on a more regular basis makes him a stash consideration.
