We're into Week 7 of the fantasy football season and we have four teams on bye again for this slate — the Commanders, Jaguars, Bills and Chargers. That'll leave a potential void in your lineup at kicker, so streaming will be important. Here, we go over some options off the waiver wire via Justin Boone's weekly pickups column.

Santos vs. New England: Santos has been a bit of a mixed bag in fantasy; he has three games of double-digit fantasy points, and two others with one or fewer. The Bears have Caleb Williams back and flirted with the red zone plenty in Week 6 against the Falcons. Santos and Chicago are at home on TNF in Week 7.
Bates vs. Green Bay: The early point total for this game is the highest on the slate at 52.5 points. Bates and the Lions come off their bye at home against the Packers, who have been vulnerable on defense. Bates also has at least seven fantasy points in all five games this season.
Boswell at New Orleans: The Steelers' kicker has at least 13 fantasy points in three of the past four games. Pittsburgh heads overseas for the early Sunday game in Paris this week. The Saints are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to kickers this season.
