Fantasy football: Marquise Goodwin and 4 other best Week 7 waiver-wire adds
By Aaron Tan
Rapid-Fire Honorable Mentions
Albert Wilson (11 percent owned) broke out on Sunday against Chicago with 155 yards and two touchdowns on six catches. He’ll be boom-or-bust throughout the year, as he primarily scores on big plays, but he’s definitely worth a pickup.
RB Raheem Mostert (1 percent owned) has seemed to supplant Alfred Morris‘ power-back role in 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan’s system, as he will most likely get five to 10 carries a game from now on and possibly also get goal-line touches.

SideLion Report
WR Christian Kirk (15 percent owned) has proven to emerge as Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen’s favorite target, as he had 77 receiving yards on six catches against Minnesota, which possesses one of the top secondaries in the league.
WR Chris Godwin (45 percent owned) is looking like Buccaneers’ quarterback Jameis Winston’s favorite target. He has scored a touchdown in all but one game this year and has earned the trust of his quarterback and coaches.
WR Chester Rogers (17 percent owned) received 10 targets from quarterback Andrew Luck in Week 6. The Colts’ receiving corps is banged up right now, which will lead to more opportunities for Rogers, who is on a bad team that will have to pass a lot due to negative game script. Luck is on pace to break the NFL season record for pass attempts.
QB C.J. Beathard (6 percent owned) has scored 18.9 points or more in all of his three starts since Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a torn ACL. He is an excellent quarterback to own in two-QB leagues and could emerge as a QB1 later on in the season if he keeps this up.
WR Jermaine Kearse (1 percent owned) is now Jets quarterback Sam Darnold’s No. 1 target in a high-octane New York offense with receiver Quincy Enunwa out for the next couple of weeks with a high-ankle sprain. Don’t worry about fellow Jets receiver Robby Anderson taking away targets from Kearse, as Anderson is merely a deep threat, while Kearse will be the primary chain-mover for Gang Green.
RB Peyton Barber (33 percent owned) was incredibly ineffective as the starting Tampa Bay running back to begin the season, but had a nice bounce-back game in Week 6 at Atlanta, where he rushed for 82 yards on 13 carries and caught a touchdown. He is the clear-cut starter in an offense that looks to be a decent one.
