10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 7
After Week 6, Jay Ajayi quickly became an attractive option at running back for fantasy players everywhere. Who else is worth a waiver claim heading into Week 7?

Mike Gillislee, RB, Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills shellacked the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday to the tune of 45-16.

LeSean McCoy led the way with 140 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. McCoy has had a firm grip on the rushing attempts for his team in 2016, ranking seventh in the NFL with 104 rushing attempts through six weeks.

When McCoy has needed a breather, Mike Gillislee has been the one to spell him. On Sunday, McCoy needed an extended break when he limped off the field with an apparent knee injury. He was able to return to the game later and perform well, but it was not surprising when McCoy went down. In fact, he has missed one or more games in each season since 2013.

Gillislee has scored touchdowns in consecutive weeks and looks to be the handcuff for McCoy. He is worth stashing in deeper leagues.
