10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 6
After Week 5, Cameron Meredith demands the attention of fantasy players everywhere. Who else is worth a waiver claim heading into Week 6?

Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets

ESPN Ownership: 44.6%
Yahoo Ownership: 35%

Bilal Powell didn't put up a monster stat line in Week 5, but he continues to be heavily featured in the passing game for the Jets. Over the past three games, Powell has averaged 8 targets, which he has turned into no fewer than six catches for 41 yards each week. His 67 yards from scrimmage per game during that span tops starting running back Matt Forte's 56 yards per game.

With the Jets ranking in the top-10 in passing attempts so far this season, Powell should remain a prominent fantasy asset in PPR scoring formats. He has standalone value already, and if anything were to happen to Matt Forte, Powell would immediately become a weekly startable fantasy option.
