In Week 6 of the NFL season, fantasy managers saw many reserve wide receivers emerge as potential starting options in fantasy football. We're here today to take a look at three of them and to see if these WRs are viable waiver wire pickups for Week 7.
Our focus will be on Christian Kirk, Michael Wilson, and Tre' Harris. With many starting options underperforming or missing time due to injury, former backups could find themselves in important roles in their respective offenses.
So, should you pick up Kirk, Wilson, or Harris in your fantasy football leagues for Week 7 of 2025? Let's dive in.

Christian Kirk Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
Rostered: 25% of Leagues
Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
Kirk made his debut for Houston in Week 3 and has been nothing more than a supporting piece in Houston's offense. In three games for the Texans, Kirk has accumulated just 10 catches for 109 yards.
While he was targeted eight times in the first game for the Texans, he caught just three of those targets, and was targeted just four times in each of the following two games. While Kirk is the starting slot WR for Houston, that doesn't appear to be a very high-volume role.
Kirk and Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud also have not been on the same page at times. In the fourth quarter of Houston's Week 3 loss to Jacksonville, Kirk was open deep down the field, and Stroud failed to find him for what would have been a huge play.
Kirk is still the clear No. 2 in the Texans' passing game behind Nico Collins, but has not been too productive as of yet. The Houston offense has struggled for most of the year so far, so you should only add Kirk as a depth option.
Michael Wilson Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
Rostered: 4% of Leagues
Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
Wilson has been a starting wideout for the Cardinals all season, but hasn't been super productive. This is due to a limited target share - the most targets Wilson has had in a game so far this year is six. He's also only found the end zone once.
However, with top wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. experiencing concussion-like symptoms in Week 6, he may not be cleared for action this week. This would give Wilson a great opportunity to see more looks in the Cardinals' passing game.

At 6-foot-2, 213 pounds, Wilson has the size to be an impact player in the red zone. While Trey McBride is still in the lineup and has been seeing more end-zone targets this season, that doesn't mean that Wilson won't get a bigger piece of the pie in Harrison's absence.
If Harrison is out in Week 7, expect Wilson to make a bigger impact in the Cardinals' offense and get his largest target share of the year so far. Pick him up as a desperation starter this week if you own Harrison in any leagues.
Tre' Harris Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
Rostered: 5% of Leagues
Baller Move: Add In 12-team PPR leagues
The Chargers drafted Harris in the second round of the NFL Draft to push starting WR Quentin Johnston for his role as the team's X receiver. Johnston responded by stepping up his play significantly, meaning that Harris has mostly been relegated to the sidelines in his rookie season. However, Johnston missed Los Angeles' Week 6 game against Miami, which gave Harris a great opportunity to contribute.
Harris snagged four of his five targets, but gained just 27 receiving yards. He should earn a similar target share in Week 7 if Johnston misses out again.
In college, Harris was a physical wideout who made plays on checkdowns and deep balls. Like many former Ole Miss receivers, his route tree is somewhat limited, but his athletic gifts provide him with a strong future.
While Johnston is out, Harris should make his presence felt. But when the starter returns from his injury, Harris will lose his value and return to being the Chargers' No. 4 wide receiver.
