Leon's List - 2023 Week 7

Leon’s List is a weekly post about waiver wire players I’m keeping an eye on.

I’m bogged down with deadlines at work. So, this week’s list is literally… a list.

Week 7 is going to be a little weird. 6 teams on bye. Lots of injuries to quarterbacks and fantasy studs.

The List

• Malik Willis (QB - TEN)
  • Ryan Tannehill has a high ankle sprain
  • Solid floor with rushing ability
  • Has a Week 7 bye, so this is a stash play
• Zach Evans (RB - LAR)
  • Next man up after Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers sustained injuries
  • 6th round pick from Ole Miss
• Elijah Mitchell (RB - SF)
  • Report this morning says CMC might play on Sunday
  • Seems to be backup if CMC can’t go
  • Won’t hurt to also have Jordan Mason in the queue
• Craig Reynolds (RB - DET)
  • David Montgomery is going to be out “for a little bit”
  • Jahmyr Gibbs missed the last two games but is trending positive this week
  • Nice to have Reynolds as a handcuff
• Rashid Shaheed (WR - NO)
  • Deep threat for the Saints
  • Derek Carr likes to throw bombs
• Michael Mayer (TE - LV)
  • Blew up with 5 receptions and 75 yards
  • Looking like the third option behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers

Other notable players

• C.J. Beathard (QB - JAX)
  • Might play if Trevor Lawrence can’t go on a short week
• Tyson Agent (QB - CHI)
  • Only for the truly desperate
  • Looked like he was lost coming in for Justin Fields last week
• Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB)
  • For those who have a free IR spot and believe in positive manifestations
• Brian Hoyer (QB -LV)
• Aidan O’Connell (QB - LV)
