Week 6 tight-end waiver targets center on Darren Waller for Miami after Tyreek Hill’s injury, with a crowded field of upside plays including Kyle Pitts, Evan Engram, and Theo Johnson. Waller’s return to form amid red-zone usage puts him at the top of the list, while Pitts and Engram offer high-upside weeks if the offenses unlock more creativity. Deeper options like Brenton Strange, Jake Tonges, Mason Taylor, and Chig Okonkwo provide solid streams, with Dalton Schultz on bye. Cole Kmet and Tommy Tremble present further value in favorable matchups.

New England’s Hunter Henry and Seattle’s A.J. Barner are noted but may not be waiver-wire options yet; Week 6 leans toward role, health, and game-script. The emphasis remains clear: Waller is the anchor add, with a slate of sleepers ready to cycle in depending on weekly matchups and injury news.

Week 5 fantasy football holds strong TE intrigue. Dallas Goedert’s knee clearance puts him firmly in the TE1 mix for Philadelphia against Denver, while Taysom Hill’s PUP-by-activation status keeps him on the radar for a potential gadget-rush week for New Orleans. Darren Waller showed immediate impact in Miami with multi-score upside, Sam LaPorta draws a favorable Bengals matchup, and David Njoku’s London tilt versus Minnesota makes him a safer low-end option. The rest of the listed tight ends—Kincaid, Schultz, Johnson, Ertz, Andrews, Engram—are part of the broader Week 5 start/sit dialogue, with the RotoBaller tool guiding optimal decisions.

Overall, expect a mix of clear starters and high-variance plays. The Who Should I Start tool remains the fastest route to compare up to four players and tailor lineups to scoring formats and byes, helping managers navigate injury news, snap counts, and matchup strength in a fluid Week 5 slate.
