Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings for Week 6

This week’s fantasy football waiver wire rankings focus on players to target, particularly in light of injuries impacting various teams. Analysts provide insights to help prioritize bids for the upcoming week.

Dameon Pierce is expected to take on a leading role for the Eagles after Will Shipley suffered a foot injury during a game against Jacksonville. With Saquon Barkley also sidelined, Pierce's performance will be crucial as the Eagles face the Panthers. Despite a challenging offensive line situation, Pierce's potential for significant touches makes him a sought-after addition.

Meanwhile, rookie Germie Bernard stepped up in Week 5, recording 6 receptions for 80 yards due to injuries among Pittsburgh's receivers. With Michael Pittman on injured reserve and other players dealing with injuries, Bernard is positioned for a larger role. Additionally, Kendrick Bourne has become the Cardinals' No. 2 receiver following a trade, making him a valuable waiver target despite a tough matchup against the Rams.
