Just as the true hierarchy of NFL teams is starting to reveal itself after six weeks of play, fantasy football owners are also starting to figure out where they stand in their respective leagues.
Unlike the actual NFL, where rosters are essentially locked in at this point and are now trying to survive wars of attrition, fantasy football allows for constant retooling and reinvention through the waiver wire.
Every week, a smattering of players around the league flash potential, offering glimmers of hope to those stuck in the fantasy football dungeons. In other cases, players sent to the waiver wire due to injuries or poor performances begin to show signs of getting back on the field or turning their seasons around.
