Our favorite high-upside waiver wire bench stashes, fantasy football sleepers for Week 6 of 2026. Waiver wire stashes include Najee Harris, Kendre Miller, and more.
Hey RotoBallers! Another week of NFL action is behind us, which means it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. In the opening month of the season, we have learned the importance of stashing, as many "backups" have become lineup locks, like Emanuel Wilson.
Below, we will look at some sneaky high-upside stashes managers should consider picking up off the waiver wire ahead of Week 6.
Who should we be stashing this week? Let's dive in!

High-Upside Waiver Wire Bench Stashes
Only players rostered in fewer than 30% of fantasy football leagues are considered potential streamers.
Najee Harris, RB, NYG
7% Rostered
Cam Skattebo is the unquestioned leader of the New York backfield, but if he misses time, Najee Harris would likely take over the lead role. Despite joining the team late in the offseason, Harris has usurped Tyrone Tracy Jr. on the depth chart and is the handcuff to roster in New York.
Over the last three games, Harris has logged at least nine carries in two games, while Tracy has logged just five total carries. Skattebo suffered a season-ending injury in 2025 but has since handled the starter's workload. If he faces any kind of setback, Harris could see up to 15 carries per game.
Kendre Miller, RB, NO
7% Rostered
While Harris has minimal short-term handcuff value, Miller is not only a similar handcuff, but has sneaky standalone value as well. During their loss to the Vikings, Miller led the backfield as Alvin Kamara took just three carries for 12 yards while Miller took six carries for nine yards. While Miller's production wasn't impressive, his increased usage is worth noting.
Additionally, Kamara entered the game with a questionable tag, which could have limited his workload. With Travis Etienne Jr. still on injured reserve, Miller could see a massive role in this backfield if Kamara faces any setback.
Raheim Sanders, RB, CLE
10% Rostered
Let's round this list out with two Cleveland Browns. After the loss to the Jets, running back Quinshon Judkins was seen walking with a boot, and his status for Week 6 is now in serious question. Managers should keep a close eye on his practice status, but for now, Raheim Sanders is high on the stash radar.
Sanders also suffered a hip injury in this loss but typically operated as the clear No. 2 to Judkins (with Jaleel McLaughlin as the No. 3). In Weeks 1 through 4, Sanders flashed as a pass-catcher, tallying 73 yards on 10 catches (11 targets) and averaging 5.2 YPC.
While McLaughlin could see his value surge if Sanders is limited in practice too, for now, Sanders is the running back to stash in deeper formats as he has been deployed as the clear No. 2 over McLaughlin. If Sanders were to be limited to begin the week, McLaughlin would emerge as the "handcuff" to roster.
Isaiah Bond, WR, CLE
1% Rostered
The other Cleveland Brown to monitor in deep leagues is wide receiver Isaiah Bond. Rookie wideout KC Concepcion Jr. exited early, allowing Bond to put together his most productive effort of the season. The 22-year-old drew seven targets and caught three for 74 yards. Prior to this, Bond drew just two total targets over the first four games.
While his upside depends on Concepcion's health, he's worth stashing in deeper three-WR leagues for now, as he could provide viable FLEX upside given his ability to find success downfield. As a rookie, Bond averaged an elite 18.8 YPR and caught three passes for more than 40 yards. Even though he struggled to connect with Deshaun Watson at times on Sunday, he could see an every-down role if the first-round rookie cannot suit up in Week 6.
DEEP SHOT for 30 yards!
