We’re into Week 7 of the fantasy football season and we have four teams on byes again for this slate — the Commanders, Jaguars, Bills and Chargers. That will leave a potential void in your lineup at kicker, so streaming will be important. Here, we’ll discuss some options off the waiver wire via Justin Boone’s weekly pickups column.

Saints against New England: Santos is a bit of a mixed bag in fantasy; he had three games of double-digit fantasy points, and two others with one or fewer. Bears running back Caleb Williams flirted with the red zone in Week 6 against the Falcons. Santos and Chicago are at home on TNF in Week 7.

Bates against Green Bay: The early point total for this game is the highest on the slate at 52.5 points. Bates and the Lions have a bye at home against the Packers, who have been weak on defense. Bates also has at least seven fantasy points in all five games this season.
Bosswell in New Orleans: The Steelers’ kicker has at least 13 fantasy points in three of the past four games. Pittsburgh heads overseas for an early Sunday game in Paris this week. The Saints are allowing the 10th most fantasy points to kickers this season.
