Week 7 Wide Receiver Streamers For Fantasy Football: Squeeze In Makai Lemon

Week 7 has arrived, and for those of you who have enjoyed having Parker Washington, Terry McLaurin and even lately Keon Coleman in your lineup … oof, not gonna be fun having to replace them this week. But we knew the byes were coming, and if for some reason you were not able to plan ahead, we have some options.

Let’s get into some streamers. As always with wide receivers, we’ll mine the fantasy football rankings for players outside the top 36. Make sure to check out our fantasy football projections to get further confirmation why these players are targets. Lastly, all stats versus each position group listed below are from our wonderful DvP tool and any utilization data came from our UR Score.

Wide Receiver Streamers for Week 7

Makai Lemon | Eagles vs. Cowboys

If you’ve read the other streamer articles, you’ll see a common theme that I’m attacking the Cowboys a lot this week. Very perceptive of you. But it’s beyond the player-vs.-bad team narrative. Lemon has at least 6 targets in each of the last three games. With Tanner McKee having a full week of practice to prepare, that could make Lemon very streamable.

Matthew Golden and Christian Watson just turned in a combined 9 catches for 168 yards and a TD against the Cowboys on Sunday night. The Cowboys are in the top 10 for most FPG and receiving yards allowed to WR.

Konata Mumpfield | Rams at Raiders

When Puka Nacua missed two games at the start of the season, Mumpfield ran a route on 64% and 75% of routes, respectively, those weeks. Now we have word that Davante Adams will miss 6-10 weeks due to a ruptured hamstring. Mumpfield did have a game of 8-93-1 in Denver earlier this season, so he should not be running empty routes.

In the last four games, all against elite passers, the Raiders have allowed no fewer than 225 yards and 12 total TDs. Matthew Stafford will target Puka Nacua plenty, but there could be about a half dozen looks for the young wideout in this plus matchup.

Savion Williams | Packers at Lions

Watching Sunday Night Football, it was mildly surprising that Williams was targeted a few times early in the game. And he took a couple handoffs, too, totaling 41 yards on 6 touches. He ran 60% of routes and got a 10% target share. He’s rostered in 0% of Yahoo leagues. This is not the first option you should consider. Actually, this is a desperation Hail Mary after injuries and bye weeks have laid waste to a fantasy roster.

But if there’s a defense to attack with a WR, it’s the Lions. They are No. 3 in both fantasy points (32.9) and receiving yards allowed to wide receivers. If there’s a dart to throw, this is the one.
