Fantasy Football Week 6: Who Is Hot On The Waiver Wire?

Quarterback:

Shaun Hill, Detroit Lions

Since stepping in for Matthew Stafford, Shaun Hill has played surprisingly well. Hill has thrown eight touchdowns in his four starts and can be a nice bye week replacement for fantasy owners. Hill threw three touchdowns in Week Five against the Rams, but he will face a tougher test against the Giants in Week Six. As long as Stafford is hurt, Hill will be the starter.

Give Hill a look if you are in need of a bye-week replacement.

Jason Campbell, Oakland Raiders

Jason Campbell stepped in for Bruce Gradkowski in Week Five and led the Raiders to victory over the San Diego Chargers. Campbell went 13-of-18 for 159 yards and a touchdown. A quarterback controversy may be brewing once again in Oakland, so keep an eye on this situation. If Campbell becomes the starter, he may be worth having in some leagues.

The Raiders head to San Francisco in Week Six.

Running Back:

Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders

Michael Bush stepped in for an injured Darren McFadden in Week Five and ran for 104 yards and a touchdown. If you did not get your hands on Bush already, be sure to do so this week. McFadden has a history of injuries and recovering slow from them, so Bush may be very valuable down the stretch. Bush ran well against a tough San Diego defense and he should see some action next week even if McFadden is active.

Wide Receiver:

Danny Amendola, St. Louis Rams

With Mark Clayton going down with a season-ending injury, Amendola can be a huge pickup for fantasy owners. Amendola caught 12 passes for 95, and his numbers should increased now that Clayton is gone. Rookie quarterback Sam Bradford seems to favor Amendola so look for that to continue in the upcoming weeks.

The Rams have a tough test in Week Six against the Chargers, but Amendola can still be a nice pickup.

Nate Burleson, Detroit Lions

With Calvin Johnson banged up, Nate Burleson's numbers can increase in the upcoming weeks. Burleson caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown in Week Five against the Rams, and like Shaun Hill, Burleson faces a tougher test against the Giants in Week Six.

Be sure to add Burleson, especially if Calvin Johnson's injury is serious.

Tight End:

Marcedes Lewis, Jacksonville Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis has caught a touchdown in two straight weeks and has been a nice target for David Garrard. Lewis is a talented tight end and should continue to get looks from Garrard. Lewis now has five touchdowns on the season, including two multi-touchdown games.

Lewis and the Jaguars are home against Tennessee in Week Six.
