Five Fantasy Football Moves Before Week 6

The FantasyPros crew opens with an unusual admission: Week 5 was relatively calm by NFL injury standards, which paradoxically made the waiver wire less exciting. But beneath that surface calm, Ryan Warmley and Tara Roberts identify five specific player moves worth making before Week 6, grounded in a clear-eyed assessment of opportunity, schedule, and market psychology.

Buying Denzel Boston and Carnell Tate

Two rookie wide receivers operating as clear WR1s on their respective teams, both held back by shaky quarterback play, and both still reasonably priced. Boston has scored a minimum of 12 PPR points in every game but one this season, including a 95-yard touchdown performance against a Tampa Bay defense that had shut down CeeDee Lamb. His snap counts and route participation confirm he's the alpha, and his playoff schedule (Giants, Baltimore, Indianapolis) offers real upside. Roberts notes he's ranked WR34 in rest-of-season rankings but has finished better than that in four of five weeks. She suggests moving someone like Ladd McConkey, whose name value exceeds his current production, to acquire Boston.

What you'll learn

1 (00:28) **Five Moves to Make Before Week 6** - Tara and Ryan set up a calmer week after the injury chaos of recent weeks, previewing three buys and two sells.
2 (02:20) **Buy No. 1: Denzel Boston (WR, Browns)** - Tara argues the rookie is consistently undervalued as a weekly WR2 with a strong playoff schedule and a clear WR1 role.
3 (05:23) **How to Acquire Denzel Boston** - Tara suggests selling players with higher market value but similar or worse production, like Ladd McConkey or DK Metcalf.
4 (06:24) **Buy No. 2: Carnell Tate (WR, Titans)** - Tara sees a buy-low window after a terrible offensive performance by the Titans, despite Tate's clear WR1 role.
5 (10:37) **Buy No. 3: Michael Wilson (WR, Cardinals)** - Tara argues that after a quiet game without Marvin Harrison Jr., managers may sell low, but Wilson’s high ceiling and target volume make him a valuable buy.
6 (15:10) **Sell No. 1: Jalen Waddle (WR, Broncos)** - Tara wants to sell before the inconsistency continues, even if it means not waiting for a boom game that may never come.
7 (18:07) **Sell No. 2: Woody Marks (RB, Texans)** - Tara advises selling high on the enthusiasm around Marks taking over after David Montgomery’s multi-week injury, as the situation may not be as good as it seems.
