Week 6 waivers run Oct 13 – Oct 19, with most leagues processing Wednesday morning. Every name below comes off the live Draft Waiver board: value over replacement at the position, how soft the defense in front of them is, and how much offense they are attached to. Bids are a share of a full-season FAAB budget, so scale them to what you have left.

Who to drop
- Aaron Jones (MIN, RB) — MIN is on bye in week 6 and he carries only 36 points over replacement — the roster spot is worth more than the hold.
- Jameson Williams (DET, WR) — DET is on bye in week 6 and he carries only 44 points over replacement — the roster spot is worth more than the hold.
- Justin Herbert (LAC, QB) — @ KC is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.
- Trevor Lawrence (JAX, QB) — vs HOU is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.
- Najee Harris (LAC, RB) — @ KC is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.

What matters most this week
- Tucker Kraft (GB, TE) is the week's top add — smash spot matchup vs DAL, worth about 6% of a full FAAB budget.
- Tyler Allgeier is the cheaper way in: same tier of usage at roughly 4% FAAB.
- On bye this week: CIN, DET, MIA, MIN. Fill those holes before you chase upside.
- Roster space: Aaron Jones is the safest cut if you need a spot.
