Fantasy Football: Playing the waiver wire for Week 7
![](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4559,h_2564,x_0,y_101/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/127/01hcwzemgr9pb6f7pave.jpg)
WR Wan'Dale Robinson, New York Giants
After missing the first two games of the season, Robinson had four catches (on five targets) over 11 snaps in Week 3. Since then he has played at least a 60 percent snap share in three straight games, with a 20 percent target share since Week 3. In Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills, he notably took over completely as the Giants' slot receiver and had eight catches for 62 yards.
Robinson has clearly become the Giants' No. 1 receiver, and no matter who's playing quarterback a low average depth of target lines him up for noteworthy volume.
Robinson is most appealing as an add in deep PPR leagues this week, but with a little more time (assuming health) he will be harder and harder to ignore as bye weeks roll on.

TE Luke Musgrave, Green Bay Packers
Before Green Bay's Week 6 bye, Musgrave had six receptions for 34 yards in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie tight end has 15 targets over the last two games he has finished (he left Week 4 with a concussion), with six catches in each. He has a least eight full PPR points in three of five games this season, with the aforementioned caveat of having left one of the others injured.
From Week 7-9, Musgrave gets matchups against teams who entered Week 6 allowing the sixth (Denver Broncos), 13th (Minnesota Vikings) and fifth (Los Angeles Rams)-most fantasy points to tight ends (Yahoo!, 0.5-point PPR). Either by game script or matchup, there are no absolutely horrible matchups for him for the foreseeable future.
Musgrave was not added to fantasy rosters during his bye week. With it now behind him, the thinness of the tight end position demands he be added in practically any league with at least 12 teams.

TE Michael Mayer, Las Vegas Raiders
After being an absolute non-entity for four weeks, Mayer is on the upswing. After getting two catches for 39 yards in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers, the rookie tight end had five receptions (on six targets) for 75 yards in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. He also played 81 percent of the offensive snaps against New England.
Mayer's next two matchups (Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions) are very favorable, and all the way to a Week 13 bye there really aren't any matchups that are particularly daunting. If he maintains this level of work, he's automatically going to be and stay a viable fantasy tight end.
