Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire: How much to bid on Tank Bigsby, Jalen Tolbert and more key targets
Sunday brought about a third impressive game for Tank Bigsby in five weeks that should have Fantasy managers scrambling to the waiver wire, but how much is worth bidding on the Week 5 breakout with Travis Etienne still likely to command a sizeable role in the Jaguars offense? Jalen Tolbert finally delivered on the promise Fantasy managers have been wanting to see for years with a career-best game on Sunday Night Football against the Steelers, but will he be a flash-in-the-pan or have sustained Fantasy value of the rest of the season?
I'll dig into those situations as well as plenty others as I build a 40-player waiver wire queue for Fantasy managers in leagues of all sizes to utilize when building their claims for Week 6. It includes one standout at both quarterback and DST I think should be a key priority for teams in need at those positions, plus targets for two-QB leagues and many, many running back and receiver options based around what took place on Sunday.
