Week 6 Waiver Targets
Waiver Targets
The South Harmon Agency has more high-tier operatives gathering intel than ever before. Be sure to keep your channel open and collect data from the various sources as it comes in. In terms of FAAB bidding, review your league’s previous waiver behavior to navigate the wire best. The waiver wire will become more bare as the season continues, especially in best ball formats.
ReDraft (most of these players will be rostered in Dynasty leagues)
Tank Bigsby - 31% rostership, 20-25% FAAB in Best Ball (Was advocated as a pickup after wk 1. His 129 total yards & 2 TDs in wk 5 were a career-best, perhaps signaling a true 50/50 split moving forward on this dysfunctional offense.)
Ty Chandler - 36% rostership, spend 18-20% FAAB (Aaron Jones suffered a hip injury with unknown severity in wk 5. Jones could be out several weeks at his age, and if Chandler performs well, then Jones won’t be rushed back for the undefeated franchise. The Vikings have a bye in wk 6, but you may not want to risk losing out on the potential RB1 in one of the best offenses in 2024.)
Joe Flacco - 13% rostership, 15-18% FAAB (We may have a Pittsburgh/Green Bay situation, where the coach takes their time before rushing back the starting QB. Especially with how much better the offense has looked under Joe - 33/44, 359 yds, 3 TDs. Flacco is the perfect bye-wk QB if he is starting & worth a pickup if ARich were to pick up any further injuries.)
Tyrone Tracy - 33% rostership, 10-12% FAAB (A dynasty favorite coming out of the draft for his unique profile as a WR converted RB. The rookie showcased his rushing ability while filling in for the injured Singletary. He exploded against a tough SEA defense with 129 rushing yards on 18 attempts. He is a FLEX-worthy option if Devin misses any further contests, but nothing more on an untrustworthy offense.)
Colby Parkinson - 38% rostership, spend 8-10% FAAB (Close to setting career season highs after only 5 games, Colby has seen steady volume as one of the top pass catchers for a snakebit Rams team. With how awful the TE position has been, it would be worth stashing Colby ahead of their wk 6 bye.)
Roschon Johnson - 32% rostership, spend 5-8% FAAB (The goalline back may not serve much more purpose than Swift’s TD vulture, but sometimes this is enough in fantasy as the pickings slim down.)
Jaylen Wright - 20% rostership, spend 5-8% FAAB (Someone please check the Dolphins’ helmets for God’s sake. With Achane joining Tua in the maze, Jaylen Wright and Raheem Mostert stepped up to share the backfield in wk. 5. Wright played efficiently with 13 attempts for 86 yds. Miami has wk. 6 bye week, giving Achane 2 weeks to come back, but with how bad things have been in Miami, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the coach hold out Achane until Tua returns in wk. 8. Achane & Mostert are injury-prone, making Wright a worthwhile pickup for the ROS.)
Ray-Ray McCloud - 10% rostership, 0-1% FAAB (A top 50 WR for 4/5 weeks, Ray-Ray had his best game in wk. 5 with 6/9 for 66 yds. The Falcons are a frustrating offense, but with Cousins averaging 274 yds a game (tied-5th in NFL), McCloud could be a decent option if needed.)
Dynasty
Jalen Coker - 17% rostership, 8-10% FAAB in Best Ball only (A UDFA out of Holy Cross, the 6’3” 213 lb WR got the attention of Steve Smith Sr. during the Draft process and became a dynasty stash. With an injury to Legette, Coker made the most of his opportunity by going 4/4 for 68 yds. It is not often UDFAs out of small schools can make their way into a 53% snap share during their rookie season, but he has talent and Steve Smith’s interest, and that’s enough to put in a waiver.)
Charlie Kolar - 2% rostership, 0-1% FAAB in Best Ball (It started with Likely, but now it seems that Charlie Kolar will be a major beneficiary of the Mark Andrews downfall. In all seriousness, Kolar is only worth an add in Best Ball leagues if you have someone on your bench that you can drop because they are Practice Team player.)
