Hey!
A lot just happened in fantasy football.
Here are 3 players you should consider adding in your league before Week 6:
Germie Bernard
Michael Pittman landed on IR heading into Week 5 and Roman Wilson injured his wrist/finger on Suday and will miss some time.
Bernard is now the Steelers WR2. On Sunday, he led Pittsburgh in snaps and had 8 targets to just 4 for Metcalf. Bernard turned this usage into 6 catches for 80 yards.
In his last 2 games with Michael Pittman out. Bernard is averaging 8 targets per contest. And now both Pittman and Wilson will miss some time. Add Bernard…
Woody Marks
If you’re in a serious fantasy league, he’s probably not on waivers. But believe it or not, Marks is available in over 50% of leagues right now.
David Montgomery injured his groin on Sunday. He was quickly ruled out and could miss some time. Marks was already becoming more involved in the offense, especially in the redzone.
But now, he’s going to be the clear RB1 if Montgomery is out. Once Montgomery left on Sunday, Marks played 84% of the snaps and earned a season-high 19 opportunities.

Raheim Sanders
Quinshon Judkins was seen after the Browns game in a walking boot. It was on the same foot/ankle that he suffered a season-ending injury on last year.
There’s a chance this is just a mild foot sprain. In that case, Judkins could miss no time. But in case Judkins does miss time…
Sanders should fill his early down role. He’s a 217-pound back who would replace Judkins physicality. Now, Dylan Sampson is eligible to return from IR this week. It’s unknown at this point if he’ll be ready in time.
Even if he is, he profiles out as a change of pace passing down back at just 200 pounds. Sanders is worth an add if we get negative news on Judkins…
