With bye weeks upon us, finding good fill-in players is imperative. But the rampant injuries that have overtaken the N.F.L. (and taken out some of the better fantasy players) have complicated matters.
Injuries, however, can provide fantasy football owners with opportunity. And while fantasy team owners of Jamaal Charles, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on Sunday, may be cursing me for saying that, there are some new waiver wire names that are ripe for the plucking. With that, we wish Charles a speedy recovery and move on to Week 6 waiver wire picks.
