The NFL season is rolling on into Week 6, and fantasy football owners are now entering the grind of the fantasy season. Between the injury i sues around the league to games being moved around because of COVID-19 concerns, every new week of fantasy football brings with it a new challenge. This week, owners are dealing with a brutal four-team bye that will knock out three top-12 RBs (Alvin Kamara, Josh Jacobs, Chris Carson) and several top-tier WRs (Michael Thomas, DK Metcalf, and more). Because of those byes and next week's byes (Colts, Ravens, Vikings, Dolphins), owners are scrambling to find capable streamers and sleepers to liven up their start 'em, sit 'em decisions. While some may be focused on the Week 6 waiver wire period, looking ahead and grabbing a free agent that could be the next "must-have pickup" or top streamer in Week 7 is often sensible.At this point in the season, there are more than a few spots on every fantasy roster that Steve Smith Jersey can be treated as revolving doors. Some of the early-season stars, like Ru sell Gage and Benny Snell, have fizzled out, and they can be treated as bench options who can be dropped to either pick up future players or better streamers for Week 6. Might you want to hold onto Gage in a good matchup against the Vikings or Snell because he's a top handcuff? Sure, but is it worth keeping them over a player with a better matchup that week or an easier path to a starting job? That's debatable.WEEK 6 FANTASY: r pickups| | It's also absolutely time to take advantage of IR spotsif you have one.If there are players available in your league like Tevin Coleman, Rashaad Penny, or even Dallas Goedert, feel free to pick them up and Cameron Erving Jersey slot them into a spot. That way, when they return, you have them available. Conversely, you can just move a player who is officially "out" in any given week to IR to create an extra roster spot that will help you acquire early streaming pickups (at least on Yahoo leagues).Another friendly reminder: Every roster move you make is just an educated gue s. You're going to get some things right and some things wrong. You can't predict injuries, and it's not always easy to see breakout coming (seriously, who saw Chase Claypool and Travis Fulgham being two of the top WRs in fantasy last week?). That said, if you get the right guy before he pops, it can be a huge difference-maker, as you don't have to sweat out waiver claims or stre s about spending up in FAAB to get them.At this point in the season, the pickings are somewhat slim on the waiver wire except forone position: Wide receiver. There are still plenty of speed threats (Henry Ruggs), post-breakout players (Claypool and Fulgham), and underrated starters (Preston Williams and Tim Patrick) available to fill out fantasy benches. Add in La'Mical Perine,Andy Dalton, Eric Ebron, and the Chargers defense, and there are some intriguing streamers and future starters available at other positions too.WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | You don't have to make a move now, but if you like a player enough, just go and get 'em. As long as you're not dropping a top-tier player to get a one-week streamer, your move is probably sound, and it can put you ahead of the curve on the Week 7 waiver wire.WEEK Zane Gonzalez Jersey 6 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Watchlist Reminder: This list was put together in the lead-in to Week 6, looking forward to the players that could be waiver-wire targets to scoop before the season starts to use in future weeks. If you have a roster spot to play with, these are options you could pick up early to beat the waiver buzz. All these players are below 50-percentownership on Yahoo unle s otherwise specified. Week 7 Waiver Wire Watchlist: QuarterbackKey QBs out because of byes: Lamar Jackson, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers, Ryan FitzpatrickGardner Minshew, Jaguars (53)Minshew has been a staple of this watchlist, but not enough people have been willing to add him to their rosters yet. Perhaps that will change with byes now here, as Minshew has averaged about 288 pa sing yards and two TDs per game this season. He has multiple scores in four of his five games, so he can be trusted against a Chargers team that is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to quarterbacks (24.5).Baker Mayfield, Browns (39)In four consecutive games, Mayfield has thrown two TDs. The Browns offense is starting to hum, and while they have been ground-dominant this season, with Nick Chubb (knee) out, Mayfield will have to do a bit more to carry the team. Cleveland gets to take on the Bengals in Week 7, a team that allows Deonte Brown Jersey the 10th-most pa sing yards per game, so he should do well against them and can be used for a solid four-game stretch after that (Raiders, Texans, Eagles, Jaguars).Andy Dalton, Cowboys (20)Dalton isn't as mobile as Dak Prescott, but Dalton is a decent pa ser and is surrounded by a lot of strong weapons in the pa sing game. Going up against a Washington defense that has a knack for blowing coverages, Dalton should be a fine starter in Week 7 and in Week 8 against the Eagles. He'll draw streaming consideration each week because of the multitude of weapons surrounding him in Dallas.WEEK 6 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | Week 7 Waiver Wire Watch List: RBKey RBs out because of byes: Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines, Myles Gaskin, Mark Ingram, JK Dobbins, Gus EdwardsJustin Jackson, Chargers (46)As long as Austin Ekeler(hamstring) is out, Jackson figures to be a big part of the Chargers backfield. He out-touched Joshua Kelley 20-12 in their first game splitting duties against the Saints and had a 36-yard burst that showcased that he can be a playmaker despite lacking elitespeed. Jackson should be the power back for the Chargers and could have a role even when Ekeler returns. And until he does, Jackson will take advantage of a weak schedule that will allow him to work his way into the RB2 category on occasion (vs. Jaguars, @ Broncos, vs. Raiders, @ Dolphins, vs. Jets).Tevin Coleman, 49ers (23)Coleman (knee) is set to come off IR soon and he could work his way back into the 49ers backfield rotation. Raheem Mostert would still be ahead of him as the Cam Newton Jersey top back while Jerick McKinnon may be the receiving backup, but Coleman has been a trusted between-the-tackles runner in the past.He had 18 carries through two games before suffering his knee injury. Even though he totaled just 30 yards, he could be a good goal-line back for San Francisco and would replace Mostert as the volume guy if Mostert needs to mi s time again. The 49ers have a tough schedule against the Patriots, Seahawks, Packers, and Saints in Weeks 7-10, but Coleman needs to be stashed as a top handcuff because of his potential for volume.
