Week 6 offers a thinning waiver wire at wide receiver, with Tre Tucker leading the charge for the Raiders as a growing 1A/1B option alongside Jakobi Meyers. Isaiah Bond and Josh Downs flash high ceiling floors for their teams, while Kendrick Bourne provides a timely SF spark when top targets miss time. Christian Kirk brings veteran floor in Houston, though health and bye weeks temper expectations. Deeper stashes Tory Horton, Darius Slayton, and Malik Washington offer late-round upside in PPR formats as bye weeks bite and volume shrinks.

Prioritize targets, snap counts, and matchup ceilings as you navigate Week 6. These pickups hinge on opportunity and offense flow, not just reputation, so monitor injury news and intra-week reports to decide who to add, start, or stash for the short and long term.

Seattle’s secondary took a bruising Week 5 as Riq Woolen departed with a concussion, leaving Nehemiah Pritchett to hold down the corner spot while Devon Witherspoon and Julian Love sat. Baker Mayfield attacked Seattle’s thin coverage for 379 yards and two touchdowns, and a late Sam Darnold performance capped the heartbreak with a 38-35 loss. Derick Hall also missed action, compounding the depth issues as Seattle looks toward Week 6 against Jacksonville with hopes for healthier bodies in the secondary.

The looming question for fantasy managers: how thin is Seattle’s CB depth, and who steps up when Witherspoon and Love return? The Jaguars test the unit immediately, so attention shifts to who fills roles, how much Seattle relies on rookies, and whether the offense can keep pace behind the evolving injury picture.

Week 5 fantasy stash guide spotlights upside plays poised to push into real-world roles as injuries reshape backfields and WR rooms. Sean Tucker could inherit the Bucs’ backfield if Bucs run back Irving misses more time, while Brashard Smith may see increased work in Kansas City as the Chiefs search for balance. Isaiah Bond and Tory Horton are sniffing bigger roles in Cleveland and Seattle, with Theo Johnson as a TE dart throw in New York. Spencer Rattler offers steady QB2/baseline rushing upside in superflex formats. Target these 75%+ roster players now to beat waivers and build for the midseason surge.

Cooper Kupp's fantasy value has cooled in Seattle as age and a long injury history limit upside. Week 5 looks dicey, pushing many managers toward benching or dropping him in shallower leagues.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has surged as Seattle's top fantasy option, while Isaiah Bond in Cleveland is emerging as a viable late‑season target if Cedric Tillman remains sidelined. Houston's Stroud connection with Christian Kirk also hints at improved ancillary value in the Texans' passing attack.

Waiver priorities center on Bond and Kirk, with Dillon Gabriel and other Browns receivers in the mix. Use the Who Should I Pick Up tool to compare options and optimize Week 5 lineups and rest‑of‑season upside.
