RosterWatch Week 6 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet Now Available
Building a championship-caliber fantasy roster requires basic weekly waiver-wire management. We’ve created the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet so that in a just a few minutes a week, our users can make the same expert waiver maneuvers we personally make in our own leagues, throughout the season.
Whether you play in a standard waiver-claim format, or in a free-agent bidding system – we’ve got you covered. Read the chart top to bottom, and use it like the Draft Cheat Sheet. It’s not mandatory to go after the very top pick up every single week – use some basic discretion. Insane value can be cultivated through the bottom of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet over the course of the season.
All players listed on the WWCS are currently on the waiver wire in at least 50% of fantasy leagues across all major formats.
*Our advice is to recycle an average of 1-2 players per week from the bottom of your roster into hot waiver-wire pickups for the current week. This can be accomplished via waivers, or on the cheap as free-agent pickups post-waiver period .

Have a trade offer of my Jimmy Graham for T Pryor and McKinnon. I have Evan Engram also I have K Allen, Mike Evans, Davante Adams at WR and Ajayi, D Martin, Mixon, Henry, Foreman and Lat Murray. What do you think? Thank you!
You don’t need Pryor or McKinnon- keep Graham as he is heating up, or wait for a better deal. You have a very solid team.
What if I could do Graham for DeMarco Murray?
Hell yes! I’m a Seahawk fan and Jimmy is garbage. He can’t get open and he can’t stay healthy. Pick-up Evan Engram now that the 2 top WR’s are out for the Giants. Or, go a little deeper and pick-up Austin Sefarian Jenkins. You’ve got to take this deal!
wayne gallman or aaron jones? PPR
ROS or this week?
Prob AJONES
4-1 record standard scoring
QB- Russell wilson
RB: Doug Martin, Kamara, Buck Allen, Elijah McGuire, Gallman
WR: Mike Evans, Micheal Thomas, Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs, Allen Hurns
TE: Travis Kelce
I offered someone in my league who is 1-4 his choice of Buck allen or Kamara and his choice of stefon diggs and keenan allen. Basically what I wanna know is which RB out of those 2 and which Wr out of those 2 would I prefer to trade for ezekiel elliot who is on bye this week.
Also, can zeke still get suspended?
If you could send Buck Allen and Diggs for Zeke right now we’d do it- otherwise stay put- see what happens with Zeke during bye week.
Thanks Byron will do
Need a Tier 1 WR. Is Sammy Watkins and Marshawn Lynch worth trading to go get Chris Hogan? I already have Cooks, DeVAnte Parker, Crabtree, Le’Veon, and Jordan Howard.
Wouldn’t hate it if you were in a WR pinch- but already owning Cooks – don’t see this as necessary. Think you’d be better served bolstering your RBs.
Would you offer D Thomas and Matt Breida to Hyde owner for Chris Hogan? .5 PPR deep league
Would you trade doug martin, keenan Allen, and gallman for watson, corey davis and bell? i have russell so im just looking for a fill in this week. standard scoring league
Easy Pickins 2-3
12 team PPR
I lost Beckham this week. We start 3 WR 2 RB and a flex. I was thinking about moving Elliott for for a stronger WR. Was thinking about maybe going the owner that has Evans and getting him and McKinnon.
Hoyer, Carr
Garçon, D. Adams, Tyrell Williams, Kearse
Elliott, Lynch, Ingram, A. Jones, Kamara, McGwire
Do you make this trade and am I targeting the right caliber of WR.
Or should I move Ingram for someone like Crabtree
Your preference for a TE streamer:
Brate vs. an Arizona defense that just yielded two TDs to TEs
or
ASJ vs. a NE defense that’s given up TDs to TEs in four of the five games and at least 55 yards per game
I’m leaning Brate, but don’t want to ignore the numbers against NE. I also don’t like playing anyone from the Jets 😐
I have Russell on bye this week . . . better to pick up Carr (yeah, someone dropped) or Brissett as a fill-in this week? With my WW priority, I’m unlikely to get Carr, but I’m still inclined to prioritize him over Brissett despite Brissett’s apparently favorable matchup.
Can we get the cheat sheet updated post the AP trade to the Cardinals (they also just released CJ2K)? Thank you!
My mistake, didn’t see him on their initially. Now I do! Please disregard previous comment!
4-1 record standard scoring
QB- Russell wilson
RB: Doug Martin, Kamara, Buck Allen, Elijah McGuire, Gallman
WR: Mike Evans, Micheal Thomas, Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs, Allen Hurns
TE: Travis Kelce
Which of these 2 trades should be the first that I offer?
Doug martin and keenan allen for le’veon
Alvin Kamara and micheal thomas for Le’veon
the first one
I have the following RBs:
D Freeman
T Coleman
J Stew
Gallman
Crowell
Rawls
Smallwood.
McGuire, A Collins, Mack, Breida available on wire.
Any thoughts on drops and pick ups?
Thanks for your help
i’d rather have collins than gallman right now
That is a LOT of RBs on your roster – worked that waiver wire hard. Perhaps there is someone interested in Rawls that you could trade with? I would imagine you have other needs like WR or TE and could make a deal.
2-3 standard in a16 team league.
I’m not in panic mode yet all my losses are a combined 12 points. Are we liking Matt forte if he is available on WW? Or should I try to target Breida as he got more downs than Hyde last week. RBs are pretty dried up and I’m rolling out McGuire and CJ Anderson this week. Other RBs are clement, henry, Foreman and jamaal (hopin Forman and or Henry takes over soon). Also do we like Corey Davis as a stash over P. Richardson? My other WRs are Alshon, Julio, A. Brown and Keenan Allen (first week I get to roll out the 3 headed beast of brown Julio and Keenan). Thank guys
Hi, RW! Thx for all you do for the nation.
3-2 in a 10 team 0.5 point PPR
QB Cam Newton
RB D Freeman, CJ Anderson, Doug Martin, A Abdullah, and M Lynch
WR AJ Green, K Allen, M Bryant, D Funchess, and W Fuller
TE Engram
2 Questions, please
1. Trade Abdullah or Lynch for Amari Cooper at his nadir?
2. A. Luck is on WW- stash in case of Cam returning to first of season form?
Trashman and the garbage grab have been on fire the last 2 weeks!
Thx
1- HUH? Nadir? Yes- trade Abdullah for Cooper
2- Wouldn’t sweat Luck too much- not a bad idea- but not hell bent on it
You guys are helping me kill it this year. Sitting at 4-1 and survived last week without Carr by using Brissett as my streamer.
Waiver Wire Questions:
I have Charles and Foreman on my bench, thanks to previous waiver wire sheets. Is it time to recycle them for higher selections on this weeks sheet? Gallman, McGuire, McKinnon, Peterson or Mack?
Same question with WRs.
Is it time to cut bait with Cooper Kupp for Louis, Agholor (I still have Jeffries-cant trade him yet). Should I recycle Hurns for some of these higher guys you have listed?
Also have to drop someone to get a streaming TE for Graham this week. Most likely Hurns…
Thanks for your help.
Can you guys help me out on this one. I have to do Waivers tonight?
Should I trade Doug Martin and Will Fuller for Julio?
RBs – Bell, Martin, Kamara, Duke Johnson
WRs- D. Thomas, Fuller, Moncrief, Cooper
How about Duke Johnson Jr. for Jay Ajai. I own Duke Johnson and he is my RB2 behind Devonte Foreman. Currently at 3-2 and already picked up Elijah, Aaron Jones, and Gallman from last week WW cheat sheet.
Will look to move the best performer in week 6 of those three for a WR2.
Johnson for Ajai?
Full Point PPR
Thanks
Where do you see Demetrius Harris performing this week in a .5 PPR if Kelce can’t go?
standard scoring-
Trade my doug martin and micheal thomas for his fournette and doug baldwin?
weird trade – we don’t understand those. Yeah, we’d prob rather have Fournette + Baldwin, but it’s not clear
The guy with Rodgers is 0-5. His team is abysmal. I’m so sick of winning in spite of Fat Benjamin trying to screw me. My RBs are Anderson, Martin, Miller, Coleman, and Rawls. WRs are Brown, Allen, Hill, Hilton, Watkins, and Fuller. What’s enough to tempt him and not hurt me? I know we are always trying to optimize our lineups and consolidate our assets. His team seems like the wounded gazelle and I want to strike and put him down. Thanks guys. Tweeted yesterday about trying to deal Fuller and loved seeing the reply of possibly getting Ajayi back in a straight up deal. Got me all kinds of maniacal.
Great post, Tanner. Thx for all. This appears like a tough deal to pull off for a few reasons:
– He won’t want Big Ben, and will likely see ARodgers going bananas as his only way out, but we love this idea on our part. Does he have another solid QB option?
-You primary instructive will be to consolidate your assets into better starting RBs
-Can you make an offer with multiple of your WR as the centerpiece? Maybe throw in an Anderson, Miller, or Coleman? Obviously Big Ben too if he wants him.
–
He has Cousins as his backup. His RBs are Lynch, Abdullah, and Cohen. WRs are Cooks, Sanders, Hogan, and Cooper. Having two QBs and DEFs looks to be his problem. Are we think Ben, Miller, and Coleman for Rodgers? Or do we pick off Cousins from him for cheap and try to load off players for that stud RB I need elsewhere?
Current kicker Graham Gano. Would you Burn a #3 waiver priority to get Matt Bryant, to be able to lock in a solid kicker ROS ?
No
Trade away b. Cooks and Ellington for ajayi and brate ?
Aaron Jones over Derrick Henry?
Jerrick McKinnon or Chris Thompson?
Cameron Brate or Auston Hooper?
All for ROS. Thanks….
What’s up nation!!
You got a win for me last week, thank you, hopefully you can help me out again this week.
Half point PPR. I need a RB, 2 WR’S, and a flex.
Lynch, McKinnon, Alshon, Garcon, D Jax.
Thanks
12 Team 0.5 PPR — 2RB, 3WR, 1Flex
I have Hyde, Demarco Murray, and Melvin Gordon. Thinking of offering Murray to another owner for Mixon. Thoughts?
I’ve got D’Onta Foreman, Eli McGuire, Gallman, and Breida on the bench.
that trade is a wash to me.
What about packaging McGuire and Gallman for a WR2 (i.e. Manny Sanders)?
I currently have Keenan Allen, Devante Parker, Jaron Brown, Snead, and Corey Davis and Corey Coleman on IR.
That’s too much. Trade one of those guys straight up for a Randall Cobb or Sanders, etc is fine. Listen in for some WR buy lows on tomorrow Trade Cast on iTunes.

Who is drop-able? OBJr, Bufallo D on my bench who else? MLee?
If I have a good kicker on bye (Walsh) just drop and stream or try to keep (10 team league)
Thank you
Go for ASJ at TE
You should be interested in Agholor, Louis, Lewis, Kupp- in that order for your purposes
Drop OBJ and Buf D- 50/50 on Lee.
After looking at TD dependent chart as well as watching the game Sunday night I am wondering aloud if now Is not an optimal time to turn Kareem Hunt into some real value. I might be able to turn him into Jay Ajax and Chris Hogan. Currently my RB/WR roster goes like this (Thank you RW Nation!)
Kareem Hunt
Melvin Gordon
Joe Mixon
Derrick Henry
Kennan Allen
Michael Crabtree
D Parker
D Funchess
M Bryant
I am 5-0 and have another 5-0 Competitor who has a pretty decent squad as well. Do I need to make a move or just sit back and pick off the WW cheat sheet as the openings present themselves?
Looking for your maniacal opinion!!
Full Point PPR League if it matters.
You need to get way more than Ajayi and Hogan. But, yes good time to examine Hunt’s value. Keep cultivating gold on the WWCS.
Think you will likely stay put for a week or two with this current roster
Standard scoring
chiefs or jags defense season long?
Jags
Need your emergency expertise again. I am 2-3 and don’t understand why. PPR 10 team.
My team:
Qb: R Wilson, Alex Smith (since RW on bye this week)
RB: Howard, Hyde, Duke Johnson, Marshawn, Buck Allen, Tevin Coleman
WR: Evans, M Thomas, P Garçon, W Fuller
TE: Graham, Evan Engram
Waiver options are: Crowell, Breida, M Mack, AP, c Ivory and McGuire
Do I make a move?? No idea who I would pick up or drop? My team just isn’t getting the job done.
Thanks as usual!
You have one of those teams with a bunch of good players, like big engine that just hasn’t had all 12 cylinders firing at once. Keep grinding and you should win plenty of games in the long run.
You need to take Garcon or Fuller and package them with Buck Allen, Duke, or Marshawn and upgrade your RB position. Go after Ajayi. And, listen to tomorrow’s Trade Cast for ideas.
Oh, and no one seems to want to trade in my league
Trade Wentz for Hyde?? PPR, other backs are Martin, Zeke (also have Morris) Coleman and Jerrick Mckinnon, I have Watson at QB, would pick up Breida as insurance for Hyde.
Yep. Do it.
standard scoring my doug martin, buck allen, keenan allen for his hopkins and ajayi?
Also this is my first fantasy football season I’ve been subscribes to RW and am just curious to know if gurley was a buy low this time last year for RW nation? just worried Ajayi might not get it together. Can Definitely see the potential though
Ajayi is getting the Bell treatment and has no bye. It’s hard to not want that as a buy low when he won’t miss a game and get 27 touches a game.
Gotta take some risks. As long as they are calculated, you can live with the results. Nobody bats 1000.
guy said no to buck allen, keenan allen and doug martin for ajayi and hopkins.
He said he would do micheal thomas and doug martin for Hopkins and ajayi do I do it?
No stay put. Ajayi is only a buy low, not a “must buy”
How do you choose which questions you decide to passover without comment?
Not a lot. of method to the madness. Try to help everyone. Short concise questions get answered first.
12 Team .5 PPR (1-4)
[1] QB: Tyrod Taylor
[2] RB: Gordon, Howard (Kamara, Powell, McGuire)
[2] WR: Jeffery, Parker (Shepard, Fuller)
[1] TE: Reed (Cook)
[1] W/R/T: Lynch
Bench total: (6)
1) Should I trade away Melvin Gordon, Jeffery + Fuller for AB and Mixon!? The other team also has guys like Hunt, Garcon, Cooper, and Davante Adams …
2) Also with Tyrod on bye and the best QBs available being McCown, Siemian, Goff and an injured Mariota, should I trade Powell straight up for Palmer? The other team already has Brees and picked up Palmer just for last week’s bye week.
Actually for the second question, he wants Kamara for Palmer… I might hold there and hope he ends up dropping Palmer …
Answered in Trashman’s thread.
Yes you did! Thanks again! Btw, how else can I give you guys awesome reviews on your podcasts if I don’t own any Apple products!?
Sorry for repost – but I think original got lost and gotta make some calls in the next few hours.

Super close call. We’d prob do it for Gallman, McGuire, Peterson
Close, but yeah- I’d roll w/ Agholor
Yes, recycle Hurns.
Thx
12 team .5 ppr
Drop Buck Allen for McKinnon or Tevin Coleman?
someone dropped Coleman last week.
Also drop Kupp for Fuchess?
they’re all on par with each other right now. i’d try to find a way to get coleman though. you can drop kupp for funchess.
Good Morning
“Great Corn Julio”
1-4 here (most points against while scoring the third most in my 10 man league) ! pt PPR
I have at TE Charles Clay and Hunter Henry. Do i drop a Martavius Bryant for a George Kittle, Darren Fells or AJ Derby? I can’t believe that I am asking this question but HH has been inconsistent scoring with Rivers’ off and on play, Bryant is not getting enough targets to start for me, and with increased targets with Kittle, Fells moving up the depth chart over Ebron or Derby playing the let’s allow the TE to look like an All Pro Giants.
Thanks for you help and sorry for the seemingly dumb question, i am just struggling to find a win.
Brutally bad luck this year after never finishing below 2nd with RosterWatch’s help. At 1-4 but in a horrible division of an suction league so I could get this turned around. Looking at some trade options. What do y’all think about trading C.J. for Dak (might be able to get Brady). The other trade I’m working on is trading Fitzgerald for Mixon. Thoughts?
Team
QB Rivers, Roethlisberger
RB C.J., Martin, Abdullah, Crowell, AP, David Johnson (keeper league)
WR Thomas, Diggs, Alshon, Fitz
TE Sefarian-Jenkins, Rudolph
Trade D Thomas and Kupp for Diggs?
.5 deep PPR league
Is WR Mike Willams (Chargers) worth stashing or grab amendola, Golladay, Roger Lewis (NYG), or RB Andre Ellington? Replacing OBJ. Stacked at RB w/ Gurley, Hunt, and Lamar Miller. Kind of thin WRs: Benjamin, Rishard Matthews, Martavious Bryant, Devante Parker
Trade Ajayi and Diggs for fournette and sanu or Louis 12ppr
Oh what to do with Zeke. I’m done with the drama. Who would you target to try to move Zeke in a keeper league. I also have Morris and DMC so I need to get out from under this.
well if it’s a keeper, i’d just hold now. he’ll come in handy come playoffs
