It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. 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 fantasy football players you should consider stashing this week. And here’s all of our fantasy football waiver wire advice for Week 6.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Back Stash Targets
The Falcons have let their backfield split from the Arthur Smith era adhere to 2024. It’s not necessarily a bad thing — unless you spent a first-round fantasy pick on Bijan Robinson. Tyler Allgeier has looked strong this season, although both Robinson and Allgeier were silenced by DT Vita Vea and the Buccaneers on Thursday night. As mind-numbing as it is to imagine why a coach would ever take Bijan off the football field, Allgeier is a quality player.
The Clyde Edwards-Helaire saga is as harrowing as they come. The former first-round pick from LSU has been cleared to return to play after suffering through post-traumatic stress. While Kareem Hunt appears to be the lead back in Kansas City, CEH will certainly have a chance to supplant Samaje Perine on the depth chart as the Chiefs navigate life without Isiah Pacheco.
With a Week 6 bye on the horizon, Sean McVay and the Rams activated talented rookie Blake Corum so they could kick the tires on their draft pick. Kyren Williams is still the lead back, but Corum is likely headed for a ramp-up following the bye. If you’re familiar with his work at Michigan, you know he has potential to produce if Williams misses game action.
Wide Receiver Stash Targets
Now rostered in only 46% of Yahoo leagues, Christian Watson is worth stashing at the end of your bench if someone dropped him in your league. The talent is real for Green Bay’s blazing third-year wide receiver. We just need health and for him to get some games under his belt with Jordan Love back. Watson disappeared in the run-heavy offense that catered to Malik Willis in Weeks 2-3, but if the rangy WR returns in Week 7, it will be just in time to enjoy some juicy matchups against Houston, Jacksonville and Detroit. Each of these defenses is currently nestled inside the top eight for most fantasy points per game allowed to wide receivers.
Quarterback Stash Targets
We are rooting for Tua Tagovailoa‘s healthy return to the field. It’s not usually wise to stash a QB and take up a valuable bench spot, but Miami’s offense is completely unrecognizable without Tua. When he gets back, it will be as easy as activating him off your fantasy IR if you have the foresight to grab him now. Tagovailoa is eligible to return in Week 8, which squares him up with the Cardinals and Rams. Those are two favorable matchups to get back in the groove.
