Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Tera Roberts offers up a few players for fantasy managers to consider for Week 6.
I’m Tara Roberts with Yahoo Fantasy bringing you early waiver wire pickups.
We’ve got another week of four teams on by.
So let’s take a look at three pickups heading into week six.
Travis ETN has been dealing with a shoulder injury.
So maybe it’s possible that that has something to do with Tank Bigby’s surge, but we cannot ignore the production, especially when the Jags have made it very clear that they are actively trying to reduce Etienne’s volume.
Bigsby had 13 carries for 100 and one yards today and this wasn’t his first time that he had a strong performance when it comes to yardage.
Bigsby has outrushed etn three out of five games this season.
Bigsby isn’t just a backup anymore after a couple of slow starts to the season.
Tyler Conklin is really settling into a reliable volume role at tight end.
The tight end position is a complete nightmare this year and a tight end that, you know, will get a certain level of looks is a luxury.
At this point, Conklin has averaged nearly eight targets over the past three games making him a potential tight end one every week.
I was shocked to see that Josh Downs is under 50% rostered, maybe it’s skepticism of what this offense looks like with Anthony Richardson.
And while that is understandable, it is very clear that Josh Downs is an integral part of this Colts offense downs caught nine of his 12 targets for 69 yards.
And while technically, Alec Pierce was the Colts leading receiver in terms of fantasy points, the guy that we can rely on in terms of volume next to Michael Pitman is Josh Downs honorable mention Jalen Wright and Ty Chandler are on a buy next week, but keep your eye on them because with injuries to both Devo Aan and Aaron Jones, they could have value.
