So, how are your respective fantasy teams doing? Doing good, or not too well at all? If it’s the latter, then we’ve got you covered with this coming week’s top waiver-wire pickups. There’s one listed for every offensive position, including a favorable defense that might just serve as the difference-maker. Read on below and start setting your lineups for Week 6. Good luck!
2016 NFL Week 6 Fantasy Sleepers
Jeremy Kerley – Wide Receiver, San Francisco 49ers
Jeremy Kerley has been the most consistent receiver for the 49ers this season and is undoubtedly a player that should immediately be added to your fantasy lineup. Why so? Well, Kerley’s received at least six targets in each game to date this season. He’s also scored a touchdown in the previous two weeks and is fresh off his best game of the year against the Cardinals on Sunday, during which the 27-year-old racked up 102 yards on eight catches.
Devontae Booker – Running back, Denver Broncos
Devonate Booker’s workload has gradually increased in the recent weeks. In the past four games, his snap counts are: 14, 16, 18 and 29. Plus, the rookie back also saw a career-high of 10 touches in last week’s loss the Falcons, a figure which is expected to go higher as long as C.J. Anderson continues struggling. If Anderson does so, Booker should be in line for a heavy week ahead.
Ladarius Green (or Jesse James) – Tight End, Pittsburgh Steelers
Ladarius Green is still recovering from an ankle injury and has yet to play a game this season. However, he’s set to return in Week 7 already, so it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to already pick him up before any other owner does. But if you’re in need for some immediate help at this position, maybe Jesse James, who’s been filling in as the starting tight end for Pittsburgh this season, is the one for you. He’s played 96 percent of the team’s offensive snaps through five weeks.
Brian Hoyer – Quarterback, Chicago Bears
Brian Hoyer, for now, has outplayed Jay Cutler for the starting quarterback role in Chicago. The former Texans signal-caller continued his efficient play in his third-straight start with the Bears, passing for nearly 400 yards with two touchdowns and zero interception in Sunday’s loss to Indy. Hoyer’s also thrown for at least 300 or more yards along with two touchdowns in each of those starts.
Caleb Sturgis – Kicker, Philadelphia Eagles
Caleb Sturgis has nailed at least three field goals in all but one game this season. He’s also converted two attempts from 50-plus yard, which is tied for third in the league. Expect another productive outing from Sturgis in this weekend’s matchup with the Redskins, who shouldn’t pose much of a threat in preventing the Eagles from pushing the ball forward.
Buffalo Bills Defense
To almost everyone’s surprise, the Bills are playing really, really good defense. Not just good defense, but consistent as well since they’ve been able to tally at least three sacks and 12 or more fantasy points in the previous three weeks. That stretch includes a Week 4 victory over the Pats, who were held scoreless in that game.
