Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups: Doug Baldwin and 3 Sizzling WRs

Ryan RudnanskyOct 10, 2011

As the weeks go by, the pickings get slimmer on the waiver wire.

That's why it's critical that you begin rounding your team into shape at this point if you haven't already.

There are still several receivers out there owned in a low percentage of fantasy football leagues who can produce for the desperate.

Here are the top three waiver-wire wide receivers headed into Week 6 of the NFL season.

Darrius Heyward-Bey, Oakland Raiders

The Raiders were widely denounced for selecting Darrius Heyward-Bey ahead of Michael Crabtree in the 2009 NFL Draft.

But DHB is beginning to round into form, and he's had two straight impressive performances.

After using his speed to catch four balls for 115 yards in Week 4 against the New England Patriots, Heyward-Bey was at it again in Week 5 with seven receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown against an improved Houston Texans secondary.

Five games into the season, Heyward-Bey is outproducing Crabtree.

Who's laughing now?

Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks

Doug Baldwin, a rookie out of Stanford, will always be hindered to an extent by the Seahawks' quarterback situation, but he appears determined regardless.

One of the biggest surprises of 2011, Baldwin followed up his 84-yard performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4 with eight catches for 136 yards and a touchdown against the New York Giants in Week 5.

Forget Sidney Rice, pick this guy up today!

Steve Breaston, Kansas City Chiefs

It was only a matter of time before a receiver of Steve Breaston's caliber would break out, struggling Matt Cassel and all.

After racking up 91 receiving yards in Week 4, Breaston finally exploded onto the fantasy scene in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, catching four balls for 50 yards and two touchdowns.

Cassel is figuring out what Breaston's former team knew all along, this former Michigan product isn't that bad a backup option.
