Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

October 13, 2020 by Greg Brosh

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

  1. Andy Dalton (QB DAL) - has probably the best group of WR's in the league
  2. Kirk Cousins (QB MIN)
  3. Jared Goff (QB LAR)
  4. Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB MIA)
  5. Nick Foles (QB CHI)
  6. Justin Herbert (QB LAC)

At Running Back

  1. Myles Gaskin (RB MIA)
  2. Alexander Mattison (RB MIN) - so long as Cook is hurt
  3. Damien Harris (RB NE)
  4. Justin Jackson (RB LAC)
  5. D'Ernest Johnson (RB CLE)
  6. J.D. McKissic (RB WAS)

At Wide Receiver

  1. Brandin Cooks (WR HOU) - finally getting in rythem with Watson
  2. Chase Claypool (WR PIT) - Could be a flash in the pan, worth a stash
  3. Tee Higgins (WR CIN) - AJ Green is hurt and is a shell of his former self
  4. Mecole Hardman (WR KC) - Sammy is hurt
  5. Travis Fulgham (WR PHI)
  6. Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR JAC)
  7. Christian Kirk (WR ARI)
  8. Henry Ruggs (WR OAK)
  9. 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

  1. Jimmy Graham (TE CHI)
  2. Darren Fells (TE HOU)
  3. Cameron Brate (TE TB) - Howard is out and Brate is a bye-week replacement player in deep leagues.
