Finding The Week 7 Waiver Wire Gems

October 14, 2025·35 min·5 clips

The show starts with the Week 7 waiver wire and quickly places that topic inside the broader weekly cadence of the program. Waiver talk comes early in the week, then a Thursday-night topic slot, and football recap closes out the week. In between are the Rotavis OT episodes from the host and Sean Siegel. That structure matters because the next waiver-wire show will be missed while the host is away on a family trip to Portugal. With that gap coming, the episode leans into listener-suggested roster topics. Trades come up. So does roster balance, along with the question of which players look close to breaking out and how to handle all of that across a season. The tight end discussion is the most concrete part of the episode. Michael Mayer is described as a potentially legendary player at the position, but the caveat is that his role may slip back once Brock Bowers returns after the bye. A.J. Barner gets a one-week streaming look. The host notes that much of Barner’s output came from a broken play, but also that the end-zone looks are real enough to matter, which keeps him in the add conversation. Mark Andrews sits on the harder side of the decision tree. He has been disappointing for most of the season, and the bye makes the decision more annoying rather than less. The episode argues for holding Andrews if possible, but it also leaves room for a cut if the roster has no better escape hatch. Harold Fannin is the stronger add and the preferred rest-of-season play over Andrews, with budget guidance landing around 10 to 15 percent if he is available. Colston Loveland is the upside add for managers thinking further ahead, even after a modest Monday night stat line.

A practical waiver-wire guide for managers balancing short-term help against rest-of-season patience.

Week 7 waiver wire talk is really about roster management, not a name dump. It stays focused on streamers, hold or cut calls, and the way bye week timing changes what a pickup is worth, so the advice stays tied to lineup shape instead of hype.
