Week 6 waiver wire

Find players your league may be able to add. Check your league before making a claim.

Every player is under 50% rostered in ESPN standard leagues. PPR projections cover weeks 6–8. Checked Oct 18, 2026, 8:30 AM EDT.

Rankings start with projected PPR points. Rising usage and recent Sleeper adds can move a player up, so the order can differ from projected points alone.

How we rank

We add up to 5 points for rising targets or carries and up to 3 for Sleeper adds. The usage boost is the latest week's count minus the average of the earlier recorded weeks, with a minimum of 0. The add boost is log10(1 + adds), capped at 3. Players outside Sleeper's top 100 get no add boost. Missing usage gets no usage boost. House projections are used where available; ESPN weekly projections fill gaps. Each row names its sources.
