Hey!
Five weeks are in the books, and this is when the waiver wire can make or break your season.
Usage trends are stabilizing, roles are shifting, and there are still players sitting in free agency who can help you right now.
Here are 3 names you should be looking at heading into Week 6:
#3 Hassan Haskins
Omarion Hampton injured his ankle in Week 5 and didn’t return.
That opened the door for Haskins, who played ahead of Kimani Vidal for the final few drives before starters were pulled.
If Hampton misses time, Haskins becomes the next man up - and in a quality offense, that’s an immediate fantasy-relevant role.
He’s worth a speculative add in deeper leagues…
#2 Kendre Miller
Quietly, Miller earned more carries in Week 5 than Alvin Kamara.
He’s clearly carved out the short-yardage role, and that could expand quickly - especially with Saints veterans rumored to be on the trade block.
If Kamara is dealt, Miller becomes a Top 24 running back the rest of the season who could instantly see 15+ touches per week.
This is a forward-thinking waiver pickup that could pay off big…
#1 Michael Carter
With Trey Benson sidelined, Carter was the clear RB1 for Arizona in Week 5.
He handled 23 total opportunities, turned them into 73 yards and a touchdown, and dominated both early downs and receiving work.
Benson is expected to miss at least 3 more weeks, making Carter a priority add everywhere.
He’s a plug-and-play flex while the role remains his…
These 3 players are among the top waiver targets heading into Week 6…
