Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stashes: Tank Bigsby, Rico Dowdle, Kareem Hunt (Week 6)

It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. We’ll certainly have you covered with our robust waiver wire advice each and every week. Beyond the top targets, though, there is benefit to improving your bench and stashing players that are forecasted to increase in value. We’ll also be a great resource for these waiver wire stashes. Here’s a look at players you should consider stashing this week.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Running Back Stash Candidates

Is anyone else nervous about Travis Etienne‘s early workload? Not quite the picture of health, Etienne has looked awesome the past two games but has shouldered the vast majority of RB snaps for Jacksonville. Tank Bigsby has scored twice this season, but he’s had only eight carries in his last three games after his seven Week 1 totes that included a lost fumble. If anything, Tank will offer fresh legs should the starter miss any time.

Rico Dowdle is worlds better than Deuce Vaughn and can certainly better handle a larger workload in the event of a Tony Pollard absence. His versatility as a rotational option has already endeared him to the coaching staff. Stash him with confidence, especially if you have Pollard on your roster.

Although I expect the Browns to continue to develop Jerome Ford as their lead back following the bye, Kareem Hunt will be in the mix. I’ll keep him on retainer for when Cleveland has some RB-friendly matchups on the horizon.
