Waiver Wire Pickups: Quarterbacks to Stash Ahead of Week 7

Daniel Jones (QB – NYG) – 28% Rostered

The Giants have been one of the pleasant surprises of this season, and Daniel Jones is playing at a solid level and averaging 46 yards on the ground to slightly boost his floor. Jones isn’t blessed with options in the receiving game, but he continues to be able to use that rushing floor to keep himself having slightly more fantasy-relevant days than some other quarterbacks. The next few weeks aren’t imposing for Jones with games against the Seahawks, Lions, and Texans. Throw in this weekend’s game against the Ravens, and Jones is facing three of the bottom four teams in fantasy points allowed. We’re scraping the barrel here, but if you’re in need of a bye-week cover, or had enough of your current start, Jones might have some okay weeks ahead.

Marcus Mariota (QB – ATL) – 15% Rostered

Another quarterback who has been able to add to his floor through the ground game is Marcus Mariota. Against the Buccanneers, Mariota had his second game of the season with over 60 rushing yards, and whilst this weekend’s game against the Niners will be a tough assignment, Mariota has been able to put up over 16 fantasy points in games against the Saints, Rams, and Buccanneers.
