Fantasy football managers heading into Week 7 have three young wide receivers worth a look on the waiver wire after productive Week 6 showings.
Omar Cooper Jr. of the New York Jets leads the group, joined by Jaylin Noel of the Houston Texans and Travis Hunter of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Four NFL teams are scheduled for a bye in Week 7: the Buffalo Bills, Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Chargers and Jaguars.
Cooper's Return Reshapes Jets Rotation
Cooper posted the strongest fantasy line of the trio, catching six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown against the New England Patriots.
The rookie returned in Week 6 after missing four straight games with an ankle injury and finished with 19.3 fantasy points.
His comeback also altered the Jets' receiving rotation, trimming the expanded snaps previously handed to Isaiah Williams and Tim Patrick.
Adonai Mitchell's status is uncertain due to a finger injury, which could leave Cooper lined up opposite Garrett Wilson.
Cooper is viewed as a deeper-league addition given his production and opportunity in the New York offense, though repeating his Week 6 output may prove difficult.
Noel and Hunter Add Depth Options
Noel has reached double-digit fantasy points in three consecutive games, with lines of three catches for 85 yards, five for 41 yards and a touchdown, and four for 107 yards and a touchdown.
The Texans scored 34 points in a last-second win over the Jaguars in London in Week 6.
Continued production from quarterback C. J.
Stroud could boost Noel's fantasy outlook, though his target volume remains hard to project.
Noel has made the most of his chances even with Marvin Harrison Jr. joining the team, and Houston faces the New York Giants in Week 7 before its bye.
Hunter delivered his second-best offensive performance of his young career against Houston, catching all four targets for 59 yards and a touchdown en route to 13.9 fantasy points.
In IDP leagues, he added three tackles, one solo tackle, one pass defended and one interception.
Hunter could earn a bigger role in Jacksonville's passing game, but his offensive workload remains uncertain and the Jaguars are on bye in Week 7.
