With numerous injuries to the wide receiver position, several depth options have been able to claim a lead role on their respective teams and carry surprisingly high fantasy upside.
In this piece, we will look at three wide receivers who have performed quite well when pushed up the depth chart and could have continued to hold high fantasy value for the remainder of the season.
So, should you pick up Romeo Doubs, Wan'Dale Robinson, or Kendrick Bourne in your fantasy football leagues for Week 6 of 2025? Let's dive in.

Romeo Doubs Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
Rostered: 50% of Leagues
Baller Move: Add in all leagues
In Green Bay, both Jayden Reed (collarbone) and Christian Watson (knee) are on the IR, which has opened a path for Doubs to serve as Jordan Love's clear No. 1 option. In their Week 4 tie to the Dallas Cowboys, Doubs enjoyed a breakout performance, catching three touchdowns on six catches. He added 58 receiving yards.
In Weeks 1 through 3, Doubs caught seven of his 11 targets for an additional touchdown with 121 yards.
While managers may view Doubs as a touchdown-dependent wide receiver, as his yardage and reception totals are relatively low, his production could be sustainable, as Love clearly looks his way quite often in the red zone.
With rookie Matthew Golden still developing and yet to take a significant step forward in the offense, and Dontayvion Wicks appearing to be the clear WR3, Doubs should continue to hold high-end WR3 upside down going forward. Even though Watson is slated to return to practice this week, it will take him some time to take on a full workload recovering from a torn ACL.
Doubs should be viewed as a priority target for managers looking to bolster their WR room, as he should remain Love's top WR for them throughout the campaign. He has a top matchup coming out of the bye week, facing the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6, who have allowed the 10th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.
Romeo Doubs' hat trick did not surprise Matt LaFleur:
"When his number has been called, he has delivered."

Wan'Dale Robinson Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
Rostered: 65% of Leagues
Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
Robinson has also been able to move up his respective depth chart due to injuries. During the Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, top wideout Malik Nabers suffered a torn ACL, which will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.
As a result, Robinson and Darius Slayton project to be the top wideouts for rookie QB Jaxson Dart for the foreseeable future.
In Week 5, Robinson immediately took on a larger role in the attacking attack, seeing seven targets. While he was also only able to catch five of them for 30 yards, Robinson's high volume should continue to keep him in high-floor FLEX territory going forward. In this same contest, the team's other wideout, Slayton, was only able to see six targets, suggesting Dart may slightly favor Robinson over him.
In Week 2, Robinson flashed elite playmaking ability when he brought in eight of his 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Similar to Doubs, Robinson should have a key role in the offense for the foreseeable future. While Dart could go through some growing pains as he did during Sunday's loss, Robinson's projected volume makes him a must-add for managers looking to pick up a wide receiver. He should carry FLEX value in all matchups going forward.

Kendrick Bourne Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
Rostered: 5% of Leagues
Baller Move: Add In 12-team PPR leagues
The final wide receiver we will look at in this piece is Bourne of the San Francisco 49ers. Like the teams mentioned above, the 49ers are down several key pas catchers. During their thrilling victory on Thursday night over the Los Angeles Rams, Bourne was one of the few pass catchers who were able to suit up, as George Kittle (hamstring), Ricky Pearsall (knee), and Jauan Jennings (ankle) were all unable to play.
As a result, Bourne was able to see a heavy workload from backup QB Mac Jones. Jones targeted Bourne 11 times, and the wideout was able to bring in 10 of them for 142 yards. In this contest, tight end Jake Tonges and No. 2 WR Demarcus Robinson saw seven targets each.
Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Jennings' and Pearsall's status leading up to their Week 6 contest, as Bourne could be in store for another busy afternoon serving as the top wide receiver.
While Bourne is not a must-add option compared to Doubs and Robinson, managers and deep leagues should look to stash him in case Jennings and Pearsall remain sidelined. Bourne could be in store for another high-end WR2 finish facing the Buccaneers next weekend, in what could be a high-scoring affair as the 49ers look to keep up with the high-powered Tampa Bay offense.
