Fantasy football last-minute pickups: Look to Xavier Legette, DeMario Douglas

Heading into the Week 7 fantasy football slate, I want to start at the wide receiver position, because there are potential streaming options -- with positive matchups -- who can boost your lineup this week.

There's a dynamic slot receiver in here, a perimeter target for Lamar Jackson and more. And with a bunch of day-to-day, or week-to-week injuries to running backs across the league, I have multiple ball carriers to look at, as they could potentially see their roles increase based on reports as we get closer to game time.

As always, I'll hit on the quarterback position, with a few signal-callers I like this week, while also giving you a tight end and a pair of matchup-based defenses to use as a streaming option.

Players listed below are deeper-league targets, rostered in less than 50% of ESPN leagues entering this week's waiver period. Although you might notice overlap with Eric Moody's waiver wire column that publishes on Mondays, an important distinction is that the options mentioned in this column are solely for this week's matchups and not based on the players' values for the remainder of the season.
