Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Eight Must-Adds for Week 6

Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season has come to a close, and fantasy football managers are now preparing for Week 6. Four teams will be on the bench in Week 6, including the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals, and Miami Dolphins. In this article, we will highlight eight players who should be added to fantasy teams during the Week 6 waiver wire.

First up is Woody Marks, the running back for the Houston Texans. Marks has been gaining more playing time since Week 5, following David Montgomery's groin injury. Marks finished Week 5 with 85 yards from scrimmage on 19 touches. If he continues to get the bulk of the carries, Marks could be a valuable addition to any fantasy team.

Next, we have Brenton Strange, the tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Strange has seen a resurgence in his production after a slow start to the season. He has already surpassed 65 yards in two consecutive games and has scored at least one touchdown in three of his last five games. Despite a tough matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 6, Strange's recent form makes him a strong candidate for a Week 6 waiver wire add.

Germie Bernard, the wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has taken advantage of the absence of key players to make an impact. With Michael Pittman on IR and Roman Wilson out, Bernard has been the go-to receiver for the Steelers. His recent performance, particularly in Week 5, makes him a worthwhile waiver wire add in most fantasy leagues.

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been on fire this season. He had three touchdown passes and over 22 fantasy points in three straight games. Rodgers will face a tough challenge against a blitz-heavy Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in Week 6. However, his recent form and his usage in the Steelers' offense make him a must-add for fantasy teams.

Finally, Wan'Dale Robinson, the wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans, has been consistent in his production this season. With an impressive six receptions for 53 yards against the Houston Texans in Week 5, Robinson has at least 11 fantasy points in three straight games. The Titans' recent poor performance, with a 0-5 record, makes Robinson an attractive option for fantasy teams looking for a boost.
