As I do every year over the last 12 years, I’m here to help with waiver wire adds via my weekly Waiver Favors™ article!  And I’m assuming if you’re reader right now, you’re in your fantasy football playoffs, so congratulations!

I’ll make a couple suggestions for after Week 7 of the 2024 fantasy football season that hopefully will keep your team running.  You’re welcome.  Again.

As usual, all pickups are available in at least 50% of Yahoo standard fantasy football leagues (with some minor exceptions) as of Sunday evening.

And don’t forget that I have my previous recommended pickups this season at the end of the article, categorized by which leagues I would still pick them up in.

Last week, I made a number of suggestions for pickups, and many of those still stand if their available in your league, such as Tank Bigsby, Kareem Hunt, Drake Maye. Jauan Jennings and Hunter Henry.  Here are the new waiver wire suggestions:

Romeo Doubs

WR – Green Bay Packers – 44% Owned

Romeo Doubs led the Packers in receiving in Week 6 catching 8 of 10 targets for 94 yards.  He followed that up in Week 7 leading the Packers in receiving again with 8 receptions for 94 yards.  Jacksonville and Detroit are in the horizon, and Daubs appears to be locked in as at least WR2, if now WR1, in Green Bay.  Got get him in all 12-team leagues or deeper.

Cedric Tillman

WR – Cleveland Browns – 0% Owned

With Amari Cooper out of town to Buffalo, three-receiver sets in Cleveland now are comprised of Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman, but it was Tillman that led all WRs with 8 receptions on a whopping 12 targets for 81 yards.  With Deshaun Watson likely out for the season with an Achilles injury, both Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Jameis Winston preferred David Njoku, but only slightly more than Tillman.  At 0% owned, it’s definitely a decent lottery ticket to grab in 14-team standard leagues and deeper, and most PPR leagues.

Keon Coleman

WR – Buffalo Bills – 32% Owned

Keon Coleman has been inconsistent, but he really broke out in Week 7 catching 4 of 7 targets for 125 yards.  He could have don more but had a TD overturned on review.
We thought that Amari Cooper’s arrival might limit his targets, but it instead opened up Coleman in terms of coverage, allowing him to go nuts.  It’s unclear if this will continue, but we know Coleman is talented, and we also know that safeties will have to respect Cooper, so Coleman is worth stashing in 12-team leagues and deeper.

Zack Ertz

TE – Washington Commanders – 30% Owned

Zack Ertz hasn’t been consistent, but he’s totaled 34 targets over 7 games, and that’s with both Jaylen Daniels and Marcus Mariota behind center.  In week 7, Ertz caught 4 of 5 targets for 40 yards and a TD.  TE has been weak this season, so Ertz is worth your attention in 12-team leagues or deeper.
