Week 6 kicks off a fast-paced waiver-wire sprint, delivering high-priority adds across RB, WR, TE, QB and D/ST. The spotlight shines on Rico Dowdle, Michael Carter, Romeo Doubs, Darren Waller, and Matthew Stafford as immediate Week 6 options, with injury notes on Worthy, Slayton, and Hampton shaping lineups. A dedicated Who Should I Pickup tool accelerates decisions, offering side-by-side comparisons to optimize this week’s moves.

Expect a steady trickle of updates as teams practice and rosters shape up, with pickups ranked by shallow-to-deep formats. The approach blends short-term fill-ins with longer-term upside, so managers should balance floor with ceiling while tracking bye weeks and matchups.

Washington battled injuries and a stout Falcons attack, but a late field-goal decision and an unsuccessful onside attempt doomed the comeback in a 34-27 loss.

Mariota found a rhythm after a slow start; Washington rushed for 147 yards at 6.7 per carry, led by Rodriguez and Croskey-Merritt, while Bijan Robinson totaled 181 yards for Atlanta and London topped 100. Matt Gay went 4-for-4 on field goals, Luke McCaffrey sparked the return game, and coaching miscues capped a night of mixed results.
