Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Players to Add, Stash & Drop (Week 6)

Key Points:

• Week 6 of the NFL features four teams on bye—Bengals, Lions, Dolphins, and Vikings—challenging fantasy football managers to find viable waiver wire options, with a focus on players rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues.
• Key running back pickups include Kendre Miller (NO) due to Alvin Kamara's injury, Dameon Pierce (PHI) stepping up amid injuries, and Jaleel McLaughlin (CLE) who may see increased workload due to Browns' backfield injuries.
• Wide receiver targets to consider are Jordyn Tyson (NO) returning from injury, Germie Bernard (CIN) gaining opportunity due to injuries, and Kendrick Bourne (ARI) becoming the Cardinals' No. 2 receiver after a recent trade.
• Quarterback streaming options highlighted are Aaron Rodgers (PIT) flourishing under Mike McCarthy, Jameis Winston (NYG) showing improvement, and Kirk Cousins (LV) with favorable upcoming matchups.
• Tight ends Pat Freiermuth (PIT) and Brenton Strange (JAX) are noted for their recent involvement, while defenses like the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints present appealing Week 6 streaming options due to favorable matchups.
