The waiver wire is what will end up making or breaking your fantasy football season. Here are a few players that could help you off the wire in Week 6.
Looking for a starter this week in fantasy football? I got you covered. Looking to add some bench depth this week? I got you covered. What position did you say you needed? No worries. I have options for all the main positions (QB, RB, WR, TE) for owners this week.
For these purposes, we will being using Yahoo! Fantasy Football as a guideline. Any player that is 50 percent owned or less is eligible.
5. James White, RB – New England Patriots (46% Owned)
With Tom Brady returning last week he elevates the entire Patriots offense. Whatever you saw and thought you knew about their offense in Weeks 1-4 you can forget it.
In his first game in New England’s offense with Brady this season, White had a season-high in carries (5), rushing yards (26), and receiving yards (63). This was in a game against the Cleveland Browns where the Patriots absolutely dominated. In games where the score is closer or especially when (if?) the Patriots are trailing, White should see more opportunities.
In the Patriots final seven games in 2015 (including playoffs) White had four or more receptions in five of them. This makes him a fine add in PPR leagues.
His stock will take a hit when Dion Lewis returns. But until then he should be added.
