10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 7
Chester Rogers, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Yahoo Ownership: 16%
This is pretty straightforward. Here are Chester Rogers' target totals over the last three games: 11, 11 and 10. Wideouts seeing that kind of volume are, at worst, worthy of a bench spot.
Due to a porous defense -- one that has allowed 37, 38 and 42 points over the last three games -- the Indianapolis Colts are slinging it this year, with Andrew Luck attempting at least 40 passes in five of six contests.
T.Y. Hilton has missed two straight games, and Jack Doyle has been sidelined for the last four outings, with neither seeming super close to suiting up in Week 6. Someone has to catch passes in Indy, and Eric Ebron and Rogers have been the big beneficiaries with Doyle and Hilton out.
Rogers may not be all that good -- he committed a couple rough drops in Week 6 -- but volume is king. Rogers has at least 14.6 PPR points in three straight games, and that kind of production shouldn't be on the waiver wire. While the return of Hilton and/or Doyle would ding Rogers' stock, he's worth riding until the Colts get healthy.
