The Week 6 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2021 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Darrel Williams, Devontae Booker, Kadarius Toney & more.
Week 5 brought some key injuries and wild shootouts, which means we've got plenty of waiver fallout to sort through. Catch your breath, assess your team's needs, and break out the budget tracker. It's time for the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 6.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
