Fantasy Football: Dell, Mooney & Waiver Wire WRs - Week 6 Picks
The bye weeks are starting to hit, and injuries are piling up. This means the waiver wire is your friend! This week, we're looking at two hot receivers in Dell and Mooney, and digging into some waiver wire WRs who could be your next fantasy hero.
Dell and Mooney - Breakout Stars?
Jahon Dotson is out for the Commanders, opening up a huge opportunity for Jahan Dotson's teammate, Terry McLaurin, and the rookie, Jahan Dotson.
Dotson has shown flashes of brilliance. He's a true deep threat with the potential to explode for big numbers. If you're in a PPR league, Dotson is a must-add, especially with a favorable matchup against the Eagles.
Mooney is a bit of a wildcard. He's finally healthy and has a chance to shine in the Bears' offense. Justin Fields is a threat to run the ball, but he can also sling it. The Bears are a run-first team, so Mooney's target share might be limited, but his big-play ability makes him a sneaky flex play.
Waiver Wire Gems: Don't Sleep on These Guys!
Here are some waiver wire wide receivers who could break out:
- Marvin Mims, Denver Broncos: Mims is a rookie with big-play potential. He's been getting more targets and is starting to build chemistry with Russell Wilson.
- Elijah Moore, New York Jets: Moore is a talented receiver who has struggled to find his footing in the Jets' offense. But with Garrett Wilson injured, Moore could see a significant increase in targets.
- Nico Collins, Houston Texans: Collins has shown flashes of brilliance, but he's been overshadowed by Tank Dell. However, with C.J. Stroud taking over as QB, Collins could be a big beneficiary.
- Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings: Addison is a rookie with a high ceiling. He's a smooth route-runner with the potential to be a top WR in the NFL. He's a risky play, but he has the upside to be a game-changer.
Week 6 Matchups: Key Considerations
Before you add anyone, consider these matchups:
- Dotson vs. Eagles: The Eagles have a tough secondary, but Dotson's big-play ability makes him a risky flex play.
- Mooney vs. Commanders: The Commanders have a decent secondary, but Mooney is a boom-or-bust play.
- Mims vs. Browns: The Browns have a strong defense, so Mims is a risky play.
- Moore vs. Giants: The Giants have a weak secondary, making Moore a sneaky flex play.
- Collins vs. Cardinals: The Cardinals have a weak secondary, making Collins a solid flex play.
- Addison vs. Chargers: The Chargers have a tough secondary, but Addison's upside makes him a risky flex play.
Final Thoughts: Stay Agile and Be Patient
Remember, the fantasy football season is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't get discouraged if your waiver wire picks don't immediately produce. Stay patient, and keep your eye on the prize: winning your league!
This is just a starting point. Do your research and make sure you're comfortable with your picks before you make any moves.
