Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups (#FantasyFootball)
Players available in less than 25% of Leagues
DJ Chark- WR- Jacksonville Jaguars
DJ Chark has been killing it in Jacksonville with his second game this season over 140 yards and now has 5 touchdowns in as many weeks. Chark is available in 25% of leagues, if you are lucky enough to be in one of them snatch him up immediately and don’t be cheap with the FAAB.
Michael Gallup- WR – Dallas Cowboys
Gallup has played three games this year and has over seven targets in all of them and two games over 100 yards. The Dallas offense is moving more towards the passing game and he and Cooper being the benefactors. Gallup is a talented player who should be prioritized
DK Metcalf- WR- Seattle Seahawks
Players available in 25-50% of leagues
Frank Gore- RB- Buffalo Bills
Old, boring, reliable all things that can be said about Frank Gore. Hes now had over 15 touches and 69 yards for four straight weeks. Gore can be plugged in every week and get you close to double digit PPR points like clockwork. It may not be the sexiest move on the planet but he allows for you to take chances.
Carlos Hyde- RB- Houston Texans
Players available in more than 75% of leagues
Gardner Minshew- QB- Jacksonville Jaguars

Devlin Hodges- QB- Pittsburgh Steelers
This is more of a superflex rental play. With Mason Rudolph hurt Hodges is someone who will be a one week start and done with a bye week coming after giving Rudolph time to heal. Only make this move if you are desperate.
Ito Smith- RB- Atlanta Falcons
Jon Hillman- RB- New York Giants
Chase Edmunds- RB – Arizona Cardinals
Edmunds is a precautionary pickup for if David Johnson’s back doesn’t allow him to play. The Cardinals offense feeds running backs and while Edmunds isn’t the talent that DJ is he can give you 70% of his productions which is more than FLEX worth for fantasy. If you’re in a pinch pick him up. If you are the Johnson owner Edmunds should be a priority add and hold.
Darius Slayton- WR- New York Giants
The Giants as a whole are beat up and after Golden Tate Slayton is the next man up and has performed well when called upon. Slayton is absolutely worth grabbing in free agency this week but shouldn’t be started in a terrible matchup vs. New England.
Byron Pringle- WR- Kansas City Chiefs
Auden Tate- WR – Cincinnati Bengals
Zay Jones- WR- Oakland Raiders
Demaryus Thomas- WR- New York Jets
Gerald Everett- TE- Los Angeles Rams
Gerald Everett should be viewed as a priority add if you don’t have one of the elite tight ends in the league. The Rams offense has leaned more towards feeding the tight end position over the last two weeks and with Goff struggling it looks like it could continue. In a terrible tight end landscape this is a must add.
