Who needs some fantasy football help? Here are 5 breakout candidates for Week 6.
During this unprecedented time, the NFL season has been a little whacky. With COVID tests popping positive around the league, we have seen many postponements and rescheduled games.
Of course, this affects your fantasy football results. Albeit a very minor fallout to a much larger issue. However, you still are probably a bit frustrated with all of the uncertainty.
For example, the Tennessee Titans. If you drafted Derrick Henry or picked up the likes of a Jonnu Smith or Ryan Tannehill, you are not in the best shape. And now, these possible postponements get even trickier as bye weeks become a regularity.
In Week 6, three teams are off. The Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks are all on bye. Meaning, you need to replace players like Darren Waller, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, D.K. Metcalf, and Alvin Kamara.
The New England Patriots were slated to go on bye as well, but they will now play the Denver Broncos in Week 6 after the game was postponed in Week 5.

Details on new date shortly. Both teams will now have a Week 5 bye.
At this point in the season, the waiver wire is bare. Most of the “sleepers” have been snatched up. But, there is still breakout streamline candidates who are primed for potential big games with favorable matchups.
As we approach the halfway point in the NFL regular season, you are probably just about halfway done with your fantasy schedule. This is a crucial part of the season, so you will want to have all the options you can.
