Four teams are on bye in Week 6: the Chiefs, Rams, Dolphins, and Vikings. If you're looking for bye-week replacements, there are some strong options available
If you're looking for bye-week replacements, some strong options are available on the wire. Even if you don't need bye-week replacements, check the waiver wire for players dropped by other teams that had to make tough roster choices.Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Quarterbacks Week 6Kirk Cousins passed for 509 yards and 4 touchdowns in Week 5 vs. the Bucs on Thursday Night Football, finishing as the QB1 for the week. It's safe to say that he looks healthy again.
Bigsby had a massive game on Sunday vs. the Colts, earning 26 PPR points and finishing as the RB1 for the week. The previous week, he had 90 rushing yards vs. the Texans. Bigbsy won't take Travis Etienne's job as lead back, but it's fair to assume he has earned more opportunities. Besides being the handcuff, Bigsby could have some standalone flex value. Bigsby has a 17.6% explosive run rate, is averaging 5.82 yards after contact per attempt, and has logged more ground yards than Etienne this season on 19 fewer carries.Aaron Jones left Sunday's contest early with a hip injury, and Chandler took over the remaining work, as expected. Minnesota is on bye this week, but If Jones misses time, Chandler will be the next man up for the Week 7 matchup vs. Detroit.
With Brandin Cooks on the IR, look for Tolbert to continue to pick up the outside routes in an offense that desperately needs a second receiving threat to help CeeDee Lamb. The matchup with the Lions in Week 6 is a good one. Not only is the 52-point total the highest of the week, but the Lions have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts.
