NFL bye weeks are in full swing, with the Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, and Pittsburgh Steelers off for Week 7. You may need a fill-in for JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nick Chubb, Mike Evans, or Christian McCaffrey, or an insurance policy for Todd Gurley, James Conner, or David Johnson. Fantasy owners will drop players during their bye weeks due to roster size, so while a player may have a high ownership percentage, you may still be able to snag them off waivers this week.

Below are some of the waiver wire candidates who are owned in fewer than 50% of fantasy football leagues and who you should consider adding.

Players are separated by position and ranked by ownership percentages on Yahoo.

Quarterbacks:

— Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings (47% owned): After a slow start to the season, Cousins has put together two good games in a row. In Week 6 against the Eagles, he completed 22 of 29 passes for 333 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. It was the “Stefon Diggs squeaky wheel” game, and Cousins finally connected with the dangerous receiver for three of those touchdowns. He plays the Lions this week on the road, which is not the best matchup, but after that, the Vikings face the Redskins at home and the Chiefs on the road, two teams with very weak defenses.

— Jacoby Brissett, Indianapolis Colts (42%): Brissett’s last game in Week 5 against the Chiefs was a bit of a disappointment. He completed 18 of 29 passes for 151 yards, one rushing touchdown and one interception. His previous two games were solid fantasy performances, and he should get back on track against the Texans this week. Brissett has good rest-of-season value, especially since the Colts had an early Week 6 bye.

— Daniel Jones, New York Giants (29%): Jones struggled in New England against the league’s top defense. He completed 15 of 31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. Jones has looked pedestrian in the weeks following his amazinh debut as Giants starter, but if there were ever a situation to right the ship, it’s this week against the Cardinals. He is a good bye week fill-in for Baker Mayfield with the Browns on bye this week.

— Sam Darnold, New York Jets (16%): Darnold missed three games (four weeks including the Jets Week 4 bye) while recovering from mononucleosis. He returned in Week 6 and pulled off a 24-22 upset against the Cowboys. Darnold completed 23 of 32 passes for 338 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Next week is a tough matchup against the Patriots and their stellar defense on Monday night, but he should have good value down the stretch.

Running backs:

— Chase Edmonds, Arizona Cardinals (34% owned): David Johnson ended up playing in the Cardinals second win of the season against the Falcons after dealing with a back issue all week. As a result, Edmonds saw only five carries for for 34 yards, but had two catches for 33 yards, one of which was a touchdown. If Johnson is on the field, Edmonds value plummets significantly. That said, it looks like he is carving out a role in this offense and could have value beyond just a handcuff for Johnson.

— Darrell Henderson Jr., Los Angeles Rams (28%): Todd Gurley missed Week 6 due to a quad injury, leaving Malcolm Brown and Henderson to shoulder the workload. The Rams looked abysmal against this 49ers and failed to get any offensive momentum, undoubtedly quelling the run game. Henderson, however, looked like a better runner than Brown and was more efficient with six rushes for 39 yards and a catch for nine yards. Gurley may return in Week 7 against the Falcons, but Henderson would be a good handcuff to roster given Gurley’s injury history.

— Benny Snell Jr., Pittsburgh Steelers (2%): James Conner exited Sunday night’s game against the Chargers after scoring twice with a quad injury. The severity of his injury is still unknown, but with Jaylen Samuels out after having knee surgery, the next guy up would be Snell. Snell had an impressive Week 6 with 17 attempts for 75 yards. He is an attractive waiver wire candidate in deeper leagues.

Wide receivers:

— Auden Tate, Cincinnati Bengals (23% owned): Tate has stepped up in a big way since John Ross was placed on IR. In Week 6, Tate caught five of 12 targets for 91 yards from a wildly inaccurate Andy Dalton. The Bengals offensive ineptitude lowers Tate’s ceiling, but with no clear timetable for return for A.J. Green, Tate could continue to be fantasy-relevant based on targets alone.

— DeVante Parker, Miami Dolphins (15%): It is a rare occurrence that a member of the Miami Dolphins makes it on this list. Parker pulled in three receptions on four targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 17-16 loss to the Redskins and has now scored in two straight games. Avoid starting him this week against the Bills, whose defense has looked strong this season.

Tight ends:

— Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills (8% owned): The state of the tight end position is bleak. Knox has had some good moments this season and will be well-rested coming off of a bye to face the Dolphins in Week 7. He should have a chance to score and could be used as a bye week fill-in.

— Darren Fells, Houston Texans (4%): Fells has had two good games against teams with bad defenses, the Chiefs and Falcons. He had a season-high seven targets and caught six of them for 69 yards on Sunday in Kansas City. The Colts defense will put up more of a fight in Week 7. Fells is a desperation add in deeper leagues only.

Defenses:

— New York Giants D/ST (1% owned): The Giants defense has had at least three sacks in the last five games and looked good against the undefeated Patriots in Week 6. They sacked quarterback Tom Brady three times and forced two turnovers with one touchdown. The Giants have a cupcake matchup against the Cardinals in Week 7, whose offensive line has been one of the worst in the league. They are a good streaming option during a week in which good D/ST matchups are scarce.
