Fantasy football waiver wire: Week 6 free-agent forecast

Here are the top waiver-wire targets in fantasy football for Week 6.

With five weeks into the books, the fantasy football season is in full swing, which means managing the waiver wire will become more crucial with every passing game.

Teams on a bye in Week 6 include the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings.

We’ll be taking a look at the top available players rostered in Yahoo, using the 75% rostered mark (at least 25% availability) as the threshold. If you have any questions about prioritizing a certain player over another, don’t be afraid to hit me up on X, formerly Twitter, (@KevinHickey11). Your questions and comments are always welcome!
