Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Justin Boone's Week 6 waiver-wire pickups focus on players rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues, with key injury updates impacting player availability.
- Recommended quarterback pickups include Jameis Winston (Giants) for his recent top-12 fantasy finishes and Kirk Cousins (Raiders) as a reliable streamer despite recent down games.
- Running back highlights feature Dameon Pierce (Eagles) stepping up amid injuries to Saquon Barkley and others, Kimani Vidal (Chargers) with increasing snaps, and Raheim Sanders (Browns) as a high-upside option if healthy.
- Wide receiver targets include Germie Bernard (Steelers), who has earned a WR3 role due to injuries to teammates, and Kendrick Bourne (Cardinals), solidified as a WR4/flex option following the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade.
- Tight ends Brenton Strange (Jaguars) and Pat Freiermuth (Steelers) are recommended for their volume and touchdown upside, with Strange emerging as a low-end TE1 candidate.
