The top fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 6 feature some preseason sleepers (Sammie Coates, Chris Hogan), an out-of-nowhere breakout (Cameron Meredith), and a few running backs who could be ticketed for bigger roles in the near future (Jalen Richard, Jacquizz Rodgers, Matt Asiata).
Because there are only two teams on bye next week (Vikings, Buccaneers), there won't be a big rush to the waiver wire for fill-ins, but there are still plenty of potential replacements (though many are better suited as free agent additions as opposed to guys worth a waiver claim).
Along with the players already mentioned, there are several RB handcuffs (always be looking for depth) and potential WR3s on our list this week, plus a few QBs, a couple TE pickups, and even a D/ST to consider going forward.
