With the Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups up and running, it's time to dig deep into the waiver wire bin and see what players are trending. Luckily for owners, there doesn't appear to be a shortage of guys who can patch up the holes if you have a leaky roster. I've listed them below ranked in order of priority.
At Quarterback
- Andy Dalton (QB DAL) - has probably the best group of WR's in the league
- Kirk Cousins (QB MIN)
- Jared Goff (QB LAR)
- Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB MIA)
- Nick Foles (QB CHI)
- Justin Herbert (QB LAC)
At Running Back
- Myles Gaskin (RB MIA)
- Alexander Mattison (RB MIN) - so long as Cook is hurt
- Damien Harris (RB NE)
- Justin Jackson (RB LAC)
- D'Ernest Johnson (RB CLE)
- J.D. McKissic (RB WAS)
At Wide Receiver
- Brandin Cooks (WR HOU) - finally getting in rythem with Watson
- Chase Claypool (WR PIT) - Could be a flash in the pan, worth a stash
- Tee Higgins (WR CIN) - AJ Green is hurt and is a shell of his former self
- Mecole Hardman (WR KC) - Sammy is hurt
- Travis Fulgham (WR PHI)
- Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR JAC)
- Christian Kirk (WR ARI)
- Henry Ruggs (WR OAK)
- Mike Williams (WR LAC) - with Allen hurt Williams stepped up. If Allen misses extended time blah blah you know the deal here.
At Tight End
- Jimmy Graham (TE CHI)
- Darren Fells (TE HOU)
- Cameron Brate (TE TB) - Howard is out and Brate is a bye-week replacement player in deep leagues.
