Rico Davo leads Week 6 waivers with a monster 206-yard rushing performance, vaulting him to the top add spot in many leagues. Michael Carter now looks like a safe floor play for New York, stepping into a sizable workload. The Chargers’ backfield remains murky with Amarian Hampton sidelined, paving the way for Kamani Vidal and Hassan Haskins to factor in Week 6. Mason Taylor and Darren Waller pace the TE adds, while Evan Ingram offers a reliable floor with limited ceiling.

Beyond those names, watch Derrick Henry as a rest-of-season buy-low, Kendry Miller behind Kamara in New Orleans, and Taj Spears versus Toutin in a rough Titans offense. Garrett Wilson and AJ Brown still carry heavy target hinges, while JCM and Jerick McKinnon provide KC-related weekly intrigue. It’s a week to punch up rosters with young playmakers and safe floor options.

Drake May’s rapid ascent in New England headlines a Patriots surge as Buffalo’s offense stalls and Diggs re-emerges. Denver’s upset of Philadelphia exposes a blueprint that could redefine fantasy leverage, while Detroit’s explosion on offense and Indianapolis’ multi-pronged attack redefine Week 5 outcomes. The Panthers, Saints and Cowboys also showed flash, and each story carries concrete fantasy angles in the weeks ahead.

Week 5 underscored the value of mobile playmakers, game-script versatility, and coaching adjustments. Expect more layer-rich offenses to emerge as teams pivot midseason. Dynasty and redraft rosters alike should weigh rookies like May, plus vets with favorable schedules, as the NFL reshapes fantasy upside across multiple brackets.
