Overview

This video discusses waiver wire targets for Week 6 of the fantasy football season. Josh and Hayden break down running backs, tight ends, and other players who are worth considering adding to fantasy rosters, analyzing their potential impact and fantasy relevance.

Key takeaways

• Michael Carter: A strong waiver wire add due to an increased workload and the injury to Trey Benson. He's expected to be a mid-range RB2.
• Mason Taylor: Promising tight end prospect for the Jets who is seeing increased targets, especially in the fourth quarter, making him a viable option in PPR and tight end premium formats.
• Colston Loveland: Another rookie tight end with high draft capital, expected to see an increased role and potentially overtake Cole Kmet after the bye week due to Kmet's struggles.
• Chargers Backfield: The running back situation is bleak with Marian Hampton out, featuring a committee of Hassan Haskins and Kamani Vidal, neither of whom are considered strong fantasy options. Gus Edwards is a potential addition.
• Saints Backfield: Kendre Miller is a clear handcuff to Alvin Kamara and has a more defined role, making him a better option than the Chargers' running backs.
• Eagles Backfield: If Saquon Barkley misses time, AJ Dillon and Will Shipley could rotate, with Shipley being the preferred option due to his receiving ability and early-season involvement.
• Drop List: Amari DeMarcado is a clear drop after his poor performance. T.J. Hockenson, Mark Andrews, and Geno Smith are also flagged as players to consider dropping due to injuries, bye weeks, or poor offensive line situations.
• Bonus Pick - Rhamondre Stevenson: Discussed as a potential dart throw with a plausible path to a starting role and potential for 12-14 points per game.
