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.

Ridley’s Week 4 outlook is grim after three games of limited production. He stopped 7 targets for 27 yards last week, and a 19% drops rate tops the charts among players with at least 20 targets. Ayomanor and Okonkwo have carved out safer roles for Cam Ward, while Stingley Jr. could be limited, barely moving Ridley’s needle. Expect a Week 4 bench in both PPR and standard formats unless desperate for upside.

Week 4 adds deep-league waiver gems at wide receiver, running back and even QB, led by Elic Ayomanor’s growing Titans role and a favorable Texans matchup. Romeo Doubs could rebound against Dallas with Reed sidelined, while Sterling Shepard offers veteran reliability if Godwin or Evans are limited. Ollie Gordon II and Kareem Hunt provide backfield depth, Geno Smith is a hopeful streamer for the Raiders, and Chig Okonkwo brings after-the-catch upside. Chargers’ defense shapes up as a strong Week 4 play.

Lineup strategy centers on opportunity and matchup: Ayomanor’s zone-swinging route savvy, Doubs’ boundary targets against a porous Cowboys pass defense, Shepard’s potential No. 2/3 role, Gordon II’s downhill power near goal lines, Hunt’s goal-line touches, and Smith’s favorable Bears secondary. OK, Strange and Okonkwo offer late-season TE depth, with Chargers as a top defensive streamer in this slate.
