With some tough matchups for some big receivers in fantasy, stick around to see some solid options on waivers who can help you win this week.

Low-Owned Fantasy Football WR Streaming Options Week 7
Kendrick Bourne vs Atlanta Falcons (41.5% Owned)
When the San Francisco 49ers lost seemingly all of their skill position players, many questioned where the 49ers would get an offensive spark from. Over the last two weeks, Kendrick Bourne has not only filled that hole but has looked like one of the best receivers in the NFL.
Bourne has played on the road against the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the last two weeks. In both games, he somehow racked up exactly 142 receiving yards. While he only had five receptions this past week compared to the 10 he had against the Rams, he had at least nine targets in both games. With multiple skill players likely still out in Week 7, Bourne should be able to put up another solid performance this week as well.
More Fantasy Football Streamers Week 7
Tre Tucker at Kansas City Chiefs (57.2% Owned)
After exploding for 145 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders, Tucker quickly fell off in Week 4, totaling just 22 total yards on two receptions and two carries. Since that poor showing, though, Tucker has racked up over 141 total yards on nine receptions over the past two weeks.
This week, Tucker faces off against the Kansas City Chiefs. Games between these teams are always slugfests, and it’s likely that both teams will need to pass the ball a fair amount. While the Chiefs do sport the ninth-ranked defense against receivers in fantasy, we know Geno Smith likes to sling it and will likely have to, assuming the Chiefs are controlling this game. Feel confident in Tucker at least providing a solid floor.
Sterling Shepard at Detroit Lions (16.8% Owned)
This is a tough week for fantasy football WR streamers, as there aren’t a ton of great options. One that may be falling under the radar, though, is Sterling Shepard. He hasn’t seen more than four receptions in any game this season, but will now have his role on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers elevated yet again with the recent injury to Emeka Egbuka.
With so many players out for Tampa Bay, there aren’t many proven options in this offense anymore. While some players certainly stepped up this past week, Shepard has shown over his career that he can be counted on when needed. This week, the Buccaneers face off against the 27th-ranked fantasy defense against receivers in the Detroit Lions. We know Baker will be slinging it, and he’ll need to be effective to keep up with the Lions offense, giving Shepard plenty of opportunities to produce.
