Top 10 Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

Don't let your season fall to ashes just because of your starter's bye week or an unfortunate injury. Take a look at these guys that might be on your waivers to help pull out a Week 6 win for you.

10. TE Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs

Why Kelce is still not owned in 20 percent of leagues is beyond me. He's caught a touchdown in his last three games and is quickly starting to show he's part of a small class of productive tight ends this season. If you can still pick him up in your league -- even though he's on a bye this week -- go for it. He's worth it.

Montee Ball was an anticipated top 10 RB option this season and hasn't quite lived up to those expectations. But now he may miss time with an injury, allowing for Hillman to step in. He filled in well with six points last week and could see similar production this week. He's not flashy, but you can count on something from him if you're needing to fill in a slot.

After three weeks of double-digit performances, you would think the Colts would be owned by more GMs. Right now, they're held in under 50 percent of leagues. They're facing the Texans this week; a team that gives up the 15th most points to defenses. They've tossed six interceptions in the last three games, to which the Colts have forced five in the last three games; look for the Colts to continue the turnover trend.

7. RB Antone Smith - Atlanta Falcons

Smith would be much higher on this list if it weren't for his reliance on big plays to score. He's only failed one week to post double-digit points. He's averaging 11 yards per carry and has 50 points over the season's course. His production is quite impressive -- you just hope you don't start him on the week the defense shuts him down from breaking loose. But if you want to risk it, he's proven to be worth the investment thus far.

6. RB Justin Forsett - Baltimore Ravens

After two straight weeks of six-point performances in Week 2 and 3, Forsett has produced two consecutive 15-point performances. He's going against a fairly stout Tampa Bay run defense this week, but he should be a good investment if you're still in need of a running back. But he'll still be good for at least six points this week -- hurry, he's owned in nearly 70 percent of leagues.

5. WR Travis Benjamin - Cleveland Browns

Can we completely trust Benjamin yet? No, you can't. But based on his two-touchdown performance last week, we certainly can't deny his potential. Remember the last time a Browns WR hauled in two touchdowns? His name was Josh Gordon. It might be wise to keep Benjamin in your back pocket just in case he continues to be a hot target. He's only owned in one percent of leagues anyways.

In the past two games Davis has played in, he's averaged nearly 30 points per game. Is this a sign of what's to come? I think so. He's starting to get in a groove -- replacing Sam Bradford. My only concern is he's going against the San Francisco 49ers this week, so he's not a sure replacement this week, but he's a wise investment if you are having troubles at QB. He can be picked up in over 90 percent of leagues.

3. RB Andre Williams - New York Giants

With the red hot Rashad Jennings falling to injury in Week 5, the rookie Williams will be looking at some good opportunities to act on. He's scored in his last two contests and is going against a Philadelphia Eagles squad that has given up five scores to RBs this season. I'm anticipating him to continue to post double-digit performances until Jennings comes back.

2. WR Justin Hunter - Tennessee Titans

There's something to be said about being a favorite target. Hunter has seen balls from three QBs this season and has been one of the most popular targets for all three Tennessee QBs from preseason to now. He's not only had success this season with Jake Locker, but with Charlie Whitehurst as well. It doesn't matter who's throwing the ball -- he gets looks and he has the talent to make something out of it, too.

1. RB Branden Oliver - San Diego Chargers

The only concern I really have with Oliver is that he may fall in the line of the rest of the Chargers' RBs. Each week, it seems, they have a new running back in place from the starter getting injured. Hopefully, that trend ends with Oliver, who will be starting until Ryan Mathews returns. Oliver exploded for 29 points last week and is going against a weak Oakland defense this week. He should perform if he doesn't break his leg -- knock on wood.
