Leon's List - 2023 Week 7

Leon’s List is a weekly post about waiver wire players I’m keeping an eye on.


I’m bogged down with deadlines at work. So, this week’s list is literally… a list.

Week 7 is going to be a little weird. 6 teams on bye. Lots of injuries to quarterbacks and fantasy studs.


The List

  • Malik Willis (QB - TEN)
    • Ryan Tannehill has a high ankle sprain
    • Solid floor with rushing ability
    • Has a Week 7 bye, so this is a stash play
  • Zach Evans (RB - LAR)
    • Next man up after Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers sustained injuries
    • 6th round pick from Ole Miss
  • Elijah Mitchell (RB - SF)
    • Report this morning says CMC might play on Sunday
    • Seems to be backup if CMC can’t go
    • Won’t hurt to also have Jordan Mason in the queue
  • Craig Reynolds (RB - DET)
    • David Montgomery is going to be out “for a little bit”
    • Jahmyr Gibbs missed the last two games but is trending positive this week
    • Nice to have Reynolds as a handcuff
  • Rashid Shaheed (WR - NO)
    • Deep threat for the Saints
    • Derek Carr likes to throw bombs
  • Michael Mayer (TE - LV)
    • Blew up with 5 receptions and 75 yards
    • Looking like the third option behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers

Other notable players

  • C.J. Beathard (QB - JAX)
    • Might play if Trevor Lawrence can’t go on a short week
  • Tyson Agent (QB - CHI)
    • Only for the truly desperate
    • Looked like he was lost coming in for Justin Fields last week
  • Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB)
    • For those who have a free IR spot and believe in positive manifestations
  • Brian Hoyer (QB -LV)
  • Aidan O’Connell (QB - LV)
