Week 7 IDP waiver wire targets spotlight a mix of high‑probability producers and opportunistic upside players. Key linebackers like Cedric Gray continue to soak up snaps for Tennessee, while Pete Werner and Luke Gifford push into stronger tackle floors with steady playing time. On the edge, James Houston IV and Uchenna Nwosu carry strong sack upside, complemented by Milton Williams and Vita Vea who offer steady pressure and DT1/DL1 appeal in deeper leagues. In the secondary, Quentin Lake, Andrew Mukuba Sr., Mike Sainristil, and Eric Murray provide tackle-heavy floors or occasional big plays, alongside Nate Landman’s 17‑tackle Week 6 surge for Los Angeles. Look for Week 7 matchups to amplify these roles, especially in leagues that reward bulk tackles and big plays over pure sack counts.

Expect continued opportunities for the Rams’ linebackers and the Saints’ Werner, as well as the 49ers’ Luke Gifford stepping into near‑every‑snap duties behind the injured star, with Dee Winters offering a shaky but intriguing depth option. Cowboys pass rushers James Houston IV and the surrounding DL pellets are worth monitoring as Dallas leans on pass rush to generate pressure. Across the league, the Patriots’ Marcus Jones and Milestones like Landman’s recent tackle spree create a broader pool of weekly streaming candidates, particularly in leagues that emphasize idp versatility and snap-heavy roles.
