Another weekend of NFL action is in the books and if you can believe it, we’re already a third of the way through the 2025 regular season. The league is flush with secondary wide receivers that can break out a big fantasy performance on even given week and we saw plenty of that over the weekend.
We’ll go over some Week 6 performers that you should consider scooping off the waiver wire ahead of Week 7 and as always, we’ll classify a waiver add as someone who is rostered in 60% of leagues at the max.
Week 7 byes: Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills
Kayshon Boutte, WR, New England Patriots (6.1%)
The Drake Maye train is picking up steam in New England and his receivers are beginning to eat as he rises into stardom. One of those guys is Boutte, who had a strong performance in their 25-19 road victory over the Saints on Sunday. Five receptions for 93 yards and two touchdowns was good enough for him to finish Sunday as a top-three fantasy wideout in all scoring formats and it was similar to his Week 1 breakout against the Raiders.
The combination of himself and All-Pro veteran Stefon Diggs have the potential to become a dynamic 1-2 punch that could help Maye and company actually push the Bills for the AFC East crown down the stretch. Get in on Boutte now as you could be hearing his name a lot in the coming weeks.
Week 7 matchup: @ Tennessee Titans, 1 p.m. ET
Kendrick Bourne, WR, San Francisco 49ers (24%)
The 49ers have continued to be decimated by injuries on both sides of the football, but an upside has been different players stepping up to fill the gaps. Bourne has certainly fit this mold as he posted another big day in their 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He had exactly 142 receiving yards for a second straight week and his 28.4 yards per catch was the highest average for wideouts with at least five receptions this week.
Whether it’s Mac Jones or Brock Purdy getting the start at quarterback next Sunday night, they’ll have a big-play veteran to lean on and there should be an opportunity for you to snag him off the wire this week.
Week 7 matchup: vs. Atlanta Falcons, 8:20 p.m. ET
Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, New York Giants (47.3%)
Malik Nabers’ season-ending ACL tear has opened the door for Robinson to step up as the Giants’ top wide receiver and the connection between him and rookie Jaxson Dart was smooth in the team’s 34-17 surprise victory over the Eagles last Thursday. Six receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown is what the fourth-year wideout posted in the NFC East showdown, allowing him to finish as a top-10 fantasy receiver in all scoring formats for the week.
Robinson currently ranks in the top 10 among receivers in yards after catch and that ability to turn short receptions into long gains could give a boost to his fantasy value as the season rolls on. The Giants could be a fun offense to watch in the coming weeks and it would be wise to try to jump on Robinson ASAP if you’re interested.
Week 7 matchup: @ Denver Broncos, 4:05 p.m. ET
Hollywood Brown, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (40.8%)
Kansas City’s offense is starting to get it together and plenty of pieces contributed to the team’s 30-17 victory over Detroit on Sunday night. One of the biggest contributors was Brown, who caught all four of his targets for 45 yards and two trips to the end zone in the second half.
The veteran has been one of the better red-zone targets in the league this season and he exited Sunday as one of the eight receivers with at least three touchdowns inside the 20. With Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, and a returning Rashee Rice poised to take the top off opposing defenses as deep threats, Brown may have found his niche in the red area and that could make for an extremely dangerous offense in the coming weeks.
Week 7 matchup: vs. Las Vegas Raiders, 1 p.m. ET
