Still, the position is so suspect to weekly change that it&#8217;s dangerous to stream the position. However, players like Atlanta Falcons wide receiver\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SanuMo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Sanu<\/a><\/strong> are in a position to succeed not only in Week Seven but for weeks on end.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/15\/fantasy-football-marlon-mack-eagles-running-backs-highlight-fantasy-football-week-seven-running-back-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Top Week Seven Running Back Claims<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/15\/fantasy-football-andy-dalton-joe-flacco-highlight-week-seven-quarterback-waiver-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Top Week Seven Quarterback Claims<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/15\/fantasy-football-los-angeles-chargers-detroit-lions-highlight-defense-fantasy-football-week-seven-waiver-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Top Week Seven Fantasy Defenses<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h1>Fantasy Football: Mohamed Sanu, Christian Kirk Top Week Seven Wide Receiver Waiver Claims<\/h1>\n<h2>Mohamed Sanu<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/falcons\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a> have an elite offense and one of the worst defenses in the league. This formula makes Falcons wide receivers incredibly valuable in fantasy, and Mohamed Sanu just got a lot more valuable. Wide receiver <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RidlCa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calvin Ridley<\/a><\/strong> suffered an ankle injury midway through Week Six and did not return. Should his injury be serious, Sanu is a must-add.<\/p>\n<p>Sanu finished Week Six with 46 yards and a touchdown and has 22 receptions, 303 yards, and three touchdowns on the season. While those numbers aren\u2019t mind-boggling by any stretch of the imagination, they\u2019re still decent on their own. However, should Ridley miss time, Sanu will see a larger share of playing time and thus increased production. Sanu is owned in 53.6% of NFL.com fantasy leagues, so there\u2019s roughly a 50\/50 shot he\u2019s available in your league. Make sure to check him out and see if he\u2019s still around.<\/p>\n<h2>Christian Kirk<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a> rookie quarterback <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RoseJo01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Rosen<\/a><\/strong> is getting more comfortable on the field, and that is fantastic news for wide receiver <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KirkCh01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian Kirk<\/a><\/strong>. Outside of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/F\/FitzLa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Larry Fitzgerald<\/a><\/strong>, the Cardinals don\u2019t have many options in the passing game. If the offense is to move the ball, Arizona will need Kirk to play a big role.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s exactly what Kirk did in Week Six against a strong Minnesota Vikings defense. The rookie wide receiver recorded 77 yards on six receptions and looked good doing it. As he and Rosen both become more experienced, their stats should improve. Kirk has a high ceiling and is owned in just 1.9% of leagues. If your team has been devastated by injury, Kirk could be a good stash option.<\/p>\n<h2>Cole Beasley<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a> might finally have learned the best way to move their offense. After starting off the year as one of the hardest offenses to watch, Dallas has scored 26,19, and 40 points in their last three games. If the offense is finally going, then leading receiver <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BeasCo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cole Beasley<\/a> <\/strong>will be a big reason why.<\/p>\n<p>Beasley is the unquestioned best receiver on the Cowboys offense and finally played like it in Week Six. Facing a ferocious Jacksonville Jaguars defense, Beasley went off for 101 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions. He\u2019s a relatively limited ceiling, but he certainly belongs on a fantasy roster, especially in a PPR league.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/15\/fantasy-football-marlon-mack-eagles-running-backs-highlight-fantasy-football-week-seven-running-back-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Top Week Seven Running Back Claims<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/15\/fantasy-football-andy-dalton-joe-flacco-highlight-week-seven-quarterback-waiver-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Top Week Seven Quarterback Claims<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnfl.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/15\/fantasy-football-los-angeles-chargers-detroit-lions-highlight-defense-fantasy-football-week-seven-waiver-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Top Week Seven Fantasy Defenses<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"BBC6Z1IRQXJMorW3ftJnIw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1052134112\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'BBC6Z1IRQXJMorW3ftJnIw',sig:'-Leb7cjydRyf971BpdIDHNBlIQd09PJwP7HMDYlT7u8=',w:'594px',h:'427px',items:'1052134112',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the ankle injury to Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu is a top fantasy football waiver wire pickup heading into Week Seven<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":51435,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33,27,19,54,59],"tags":[115,3544,665,61,521,40],"class_list":["post-51418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cardinals","category-falcons","category-cowboys","category-editorials","category-fantasy","tag-atlanta-falcons","tag-christian-kirk","tag-cole-beasley","tag-football","tag-mohamed-sanu","tag-nfl"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
