Week 7 waivers swing around TreVeyon Henderson, with owners weighing a hold against a cut as the rookie’s usage remains volatile. Henderson has posted a pedestrian six-week stretch, but still carries pass-catching upside and a coachable upside if New England eases Stevenson’s fumbling issues. The piece highlights Allgeier, Vidal and Spears as clear short-term adds, plus Omarion Hampton’s IR absence potentially widening backfield opportunities. Returns hinge on volume shifts and game plans.

It’s a buy-low, hold-the-spot kind of decision: Henderson’s talent is undeniable, and if injury or inefficiency nudges Stevenson out, Henderson could reclaim a larger role. Meanwhile, waiver targets on the wire offer safer weekly floors, with Vidal delivering big-pipeline yardage and Spears offering pass-game involvement as the Titans lean younger.
