Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 6 of the NFL season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.
Each week at RotoBaller we provide you with various fantasy football waiver wire articles to help you decide which free agent players to pickup off waivers. Our amazing team of analysts here whip them up as early in the week as possible, and update them as more news is announced.
To kick things off each week, we have our overall waiver wire article and waiver wire express lightning round, both dropping very early in the week -- usually by the time the Sunday Night Football game ends. We have our FAAB waiver wire article from Nick Mariano, for those of you with salary cap waivers, which discusses how much of your free agent budget to spend on players when trying to add them off the waiver wire.
And then we also have articles for each position, to take a deeper dive on each: running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, quarterbacks, defenses, kickers, IDP leagues and players to consider dropping.
