Yahoo Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Justin Boone's Week 6 waiver-wire recommendations highlight key injuries including Tyler Shough (hand), Michael Penix Jr. (ribs), and CeeDee Lamb (quad), affecting player availability and fantasy strategies.
  • Top overall waiver pickups include Germie Bernard (WR, Steelers), Dameon Pierce (RB, Eagles), Kendrick Bourne (WR, Cardinals), and Jameis Winston (QB, Giants), with Winston noted as a solid one-week streaming option.
  • Running back advice focuses on Dameon Pierce as a low-end RB2 option due to Saquon Barkley's injury, and Kimani Vidal as a viable RB3 in a committee backfield; Raheim Sanders is a high-end RB3 if healthy.
  • Wide receiver pickups highlight Germie Bernard as a WR3 with upside due to injuries on the Steelers, and Kendrick Bourne as a WR4/flex option following Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade; several other receivers are suggested as flex or deep stashes.
  • Tight end recommendations feature Brenton Strange and Pat Freiermuth as low-end TE1 options due to high target volume and touchdown potential, with additional streaming and upside stash options provided for all positions.
