Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Unfortunately, the injury bug has come back to bite some big-name running backs. If you managed to add Alexander Mattison a couple weeks ago or Damien Williams last week and roll with them in your lineup, you were a happy GM in Week 5. Will replacements for Saquon Barkley and Clyde Edwards-Helaire be similarly productive […]

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 6 Targets

Joining our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Week 5 produced several huge performances (shoutout to LAC-CLE) while also yielding some key injuries. Those with Saquon […]

Michael Florio's Week 6 Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds

Week 5 was at least the second week this season where injuries were the big story in the fantasy football community. There were a number of big name players that suffered injuries, meaning there is a lot of talent on the waiver wire, even in those deeper leagues. This is a week to be aggressive […]

The Cut List – Who To Drop for Week 6?

Week 6 brings with it the beginning of the bye week season and with the injury bug starting to hit teams all over the place, fantasy managers in all league sizes are going to be pondering several difficult choices. Our first set of byes will leave teams without Deebo Samuel, Alvin Kamara, Kyle Pitts and […]

After five weeks of the regular season, some of you have been able to embrace the numbers that have been assembled by the running backs that are contained on your rosters. Unfortunately, an increasing number of fantasy managers have encountered injuries, while others have contended with disappointing output due to a collection of unexpected developments. The […]

Another week of NFL action is behind us. The waiver wire hasn't been kind to us this season – will that change this week? Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 6. Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy football managers’ worst fear of the year is here – the start of the dreaded bye weeks. The tight end position was already causing problems for fantasy footballers due to the injuries of Tampa Bay’s Rob Gronkowski and San Francisco’s George Kittle. Now four teams will be on bye this week, including the Atlanta […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Week 6 marked the last week with a full complement of games before bye weeks start coming into effect. Thankfully, we had a bunch of excellent offensive performances out of the quarterback position before having to start paying attention to waiver-wire streamers. Tom Brady led the way in Week 5 with 411 passing yards and […]

IDP Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

Like clockwork, every NFL season brings a new set of players who disappoint for weeks on end, only to explode on your bench. The most impatient of fantasy managers will likely rage drop these tortoise-type players. That’s why countless fantasy teams saw Myles Gaskin, Chase Claypool, and Kadarius Toney gorge their fantasy benches with points […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and wild shootouts, which means we've got plenty of waiver fallout to sort through. Catch your breath, assess your team's needs, and break out the budget tracker.

Eagles Defense Not Recommended Despite Strong Recent Games

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 6 despite some recent strong performances. The Eagles defensive unit finished as the third ranked fantasy DST in Week 5, but have already finished as the second-worst fantasy defense twice this season. Facing Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Bucs on Thursday Night […]

Jake Elliott - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not a good fantasy kicking option on Week 6's edition of Thursday Night Football. Elliott made a long field goal in Week 5 but still finished outside of the top-15 fantasy kickers. In fact, he's been outside of the top-15 every week except for a fluke Week 4 performance. […]

Zach Ertz - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz could be a solid TE1 option in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. With Dallas Goedert on the reserve/COVID-19 list and unlikely to be able to play on Thursday, Ertz should see almost all of the tight end snaps and could end up with double-digit targets in what […]

Quez Watkins - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins seems to have taken over the WR2 role on the Eagles offense. He's still not seeing a ton of targets, but he played 82% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 5 while a beleaguered Jalen Reagor only played 70%. While Reagor continues to fall, Watkins continues a steady […]

Jalen Reagor - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor is not worth starting in most fantasy formats in a Week 6 game against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Reagor has caught 17 passes for 140 yards and one score this season, with only four catches for 33 scoreless yards over his past two games. It's just not happening for […]

DeVonta Smith - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith has developed some consistency over the past few weeks. Outside of disappointing games in Weeks 2 and 3, Smith has been at worst a WR3/FLEX option and leads the team in targets, catches, and yards. He's clearly quarterback Jalen Hurts' top option in the passing game and could […]

Kenneth Gainwell - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell isn't a great fantasy option in a Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. The game will take place on Thursday Night Football to start Week 6 in the NFL. Gainwell has flashed some excellent upside and looked like he might take over the starting role from […]

Miles Sanders - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is no longer a legitimate starter at the fantasy running back position. Sanders came into the season hyped as a potential breakout candidate and was drafted as an RB1 in many fantasy leagues. Instead, he's finished as the RB36 or lower every game since Week 1. Part of the […]

Jalen Hurts - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts should have another solid game in Week 6. The Eagles will host the Tampa Bay Bucs on Thursday Night Football, and despite the tough matchup, there's reason to believe Hurts should be a worthwhile QB1 starter in fantasy lineups. With the Eagles defense not doing much this season, this game […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Reports Forearm Tightness

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. told reporters postgame that he left the team's 10-1 win over the White Sox in Game 4 due to right forearm tightness. The right-handed starter pitched four innings of one-run baseball but walked three batters and allowed five hits. McCullers Jr.'s status is officially up in the air heading […]

Garrett Whitlock Earns Win With Two Shutout Innings

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Richards pitched the final two innings of Monday's clinching Game 4 over the Tampa Bay Rays, and he picked up the victory by allowing nary a baserunner. He did not strike out a batter. Whitlock has pitched in three games this postseason, and he's been just as impressive as […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Throws Five Innings To Close Series

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez came through with five strong innings to close out the division series Monday, holding the Tampa Bay Rays to two runs on three hits with six strikeouts. The Rays had been among the strongest lineups against lefties all season, but Rodriguez was able to bounce back from his […]

Rafael Devers Homers In Series Clincher

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (forearm) led the way in the clinching Game 4 Monday, going 3-for-4 with a three-run home run to knock out the Tampa Bay Rays. Devers now has two homers and six RBI in his 20 postseason at-bats this year, and he's driven in 20 runs in 65 career […]

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How amazing is it that the Giants' offense is losing players left and right, but Engram is one of the few healthy guys standing upright? He was able to put up a season-high four catches for 55 yards against Dallas and should […]
