3. Dyami Brown (Commanders-WR)

2022 Week 6 Waivers – Adds: TE – Tight ends

2022 Week 6 Waivers – Adds: QB – Quarterbacks

1. Justin Fields (Bears – QB)

Marca Waiver Wire Ranking Notes:

  • Players owned in more than 60% of Fantasy Leagues will not appear.
  • Rankings will be updated when relevant information arises.
  • They will also be updated later Monday Night Football happens.
  • Defenses are ranked according to low ownership + this week’s opponent strength.
  • Due to 1/2 PPR being the gold standard in Fantasy, rankings will be made with that point format in mind.
