Fantasy Football: 5 Buy Low Wide Receivers to Target This Week (Week 7)

Fantasy Buy-Low WRs in Summary

• Garrett Wilson, New York Jets
• Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals
• Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints

We are far enough into the fantasy football season that managers have started forming strong opinions about their players. That can create some excellent trade opportunities, particularly when a talented wide receiver has strung together a couple of disappointing box scores.

When looking for buy-low receivers, volume is often more important than recent fantasy production. Targets, yardage, and involvement in the passing game tend to be more sustainable than touchdowns, making players who have been unlucky in the scoring department particularly intriguing trade targets.

While looking ahead at the games across the NFL, which wide receivers should we buy low on ahead of Week 7?

Wide Receivers to Buy Low in Fantasy Football Week 7

Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears

The 2026 season hasn't produced much fantasy excitement for Rome Odunze thus far, but his lack of touchdowns makes his numbers look considerably worse than his underlying production.

Through six games, Odunze has caught 20 of 33 targets for 312 yards, averaging a healthy 15.6 yards per reception. The glaring number is zero touchdowns. Odunze scored six times in 12 games last season, so it's reasonable to expect some positive touchdown regression if he continues to see regular opportunities in the Chicago Bears‘ passing game.

His recent production also gives fantasy managers an opening to make an offer. Odunze has been held below 45 receiving yards in three of his past four games, including a 3-catch, 39-yard effort in Week 6. He did post 6 catches for 94 yards against the New York Jets in Week 4, offering a reminder of his weekly ceiling.

This is exactly the type of talented player whose fantasy value can become depressed during a touchdown drought, making Odunze one of my favorite buy-low options.

Garrett Wilson, New York Jets

Garrett Wilson hasn't been bad this season, but his inconsistent week-to-week production could make his manager more willing to move him than his overall numbers warrant.

Wilson has 35 receptions for 418 yards and 3 touchdowns through six games, drawing 48 targets along the way. He has already delivered games of 10 catches for 107 yards and 7 catches for 104 yards, so the upside hasn't disappeared. However, he's also been held to 44 or fewer receiving yards in two of his past three outings.

Week 6 was one of those quieter performances as Wilson finished with 4 catches for 44 yards on 6 targets against the New England Patriots. I'd use that game as an opportunity to test the trade market.

Wilson remains the type of receiver capable of commanding double-digit targets in any given week, and that kind of volume gives him a much higher ceiling than his recent fantasy totals suggest.

Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals

Touchdowns have been the missing ingredient for Tee Higgins.

Higgins has compiled 27 receptions for 423 yards across five games for the Cincinnati Bengals, averaging an impressive 15.7 yards per catch. He's also seen 43 targets, putting him on pace for substantial receiving volume. Despite all of that production, Higgins has scored just once.

Fantasy managers may be particularly frustrated after his most recent outing. Higgins caught only 2 passes for 22 yards on 4 targets in a great matchup against the Miami Dolphins before Cincinnati's Week 6 bye. One game earlier, though, he erupted for 11 catches and 157 yards on 16 targets.

With 423 receiving yards but only one trip to the end zone, Higgins has room for his fantasy output to improve even without a major change in his underlying role. I'd be willing to chase after him following the combination of a quiet game and a bye week.

Nico Collins, Houston Texans

Nico Collins' fantasy situation has become a little more complicated following Houston's acquisition of Marvin Harrison Jr., and that uncertainty could create a buying opportunity.

Collins has played four games this season, totaling 22 receptions for 323 yards and 3 touchdowns. He's averaging 80.8 receiving yards per game and 14.7 yards per reception, so his efficiency remains excellent. He has also already produced a 7-catch, 118-yard, 2-touchdown outing this year.

The concern is obvious: Harrison introduces another quality WR into the Texans' receiving corps. But I'd be hesitant to assume that will negatively impact Collins. Houston has leaned heavily on its passing attack, and Collins has already demonstrated his chemistry with C.J. Stroud.

After Collins drew only five targets in Week 6, his manager might be nervous about the addition of MHJ. That makes now an interesting time to see whether Collins can be acquired at something less than his usual WR1-level price.

Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints

Chris Olave‘s overall numbers don't exactly scream "buy low," but his last two games might give you an opportunity to acquire him before another spike week.

Olave has been one of the NFL's busiest receivers, commanding 61 targets through six games. He's turned that workload into 43 catches for 580 yards, ranking among the league leaders in each category, but he has scored only twice. Olave is averaging 96.7 receiving yards per game while seeing more than 10 targets per contest.

The window comes from his recent box scores. After opening the year with four consecutive games of at least 86 receiving yards, Olave has produced just 46 and 43 yards over his past two outings. He did score in Week 6, but his four-catch performance was well below what fantasy managers had grown accustomed to seeing.

With that kind of target volume and only two touchdowns on 61 opportunities, I'm willing to bet on more big fantasy performances ahead rather than treating the recent dip as a reason to downgrade him.

Fantasy Football Buy-Low Wide Receivers FAQ

What does buy low mean in fantasy football?

Buying low means trading for a player whose current perceived value is lower than what you expect his value to be going forward. A slow start, tough matchup, injury, or lack of touchdowns can sometimes create a buying opportunity.

What should you look for in a buy-low wide receiver?

Target volume, route participation, air yards, red-zone usage, and snap rate are all important. A receiver can be underperforming in fantasy while still seeing the type of usage that suggests better production is coming.

When is the best time to trade for a buy-low wide receiver?

The best opportunities often come after one or two disappointing games, especially if the player's role has remained strong. Fantasy managers can sometimes overreact to short-term results even when the underlying usage is encouraging.

Should you buy low on an injured wide receiver?

It can make sense if the injury is considered short-term and the player's price has dropped significantly. Before making a trade, consider the expected return timeline and whether you have enough depth to wait for him to get healthy.
