Fantasy Football Week 6: Tim Tebow, Jackie Battle and 3 Stars Worth a Shot

With Monday Night Football just a few hours away and the majority of Week 5 NFL action out of the way, it’s already time to think ahead in your fantasy football strategy to Week 6 and the waiver wire.

There were serious stars that underperformed this week, and throughout this season, and it may be time to cut fantasy ties with these players not pulling their weight.

If you’re fed up enough to cut some players loose, the following players will be good targets as replacements for the long-term improvement of your team.

Tim Tebow: The Denver Broncos may finally pull the trigger and allow Tim Tebow to be the starting Broncos' quarterback, and that means plenty of rushing points and touchdowns for the potential new man in charge.

While his passing numbers will never knock you over, the combination of his running skills, with his ability to sling the ball down field, will make him a valuable fantasy asset.

Jackie Battle: With the battle appearing to be just  between Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster in Kansas City for the starting running back spot, Jackie Battle has thrown  his hat in the ring for the job.

After rushing the ball 19 times for 119 yards against the Colts, Battle proved to everyone that he has the talent to carry the majority of the workload. The Chiefs have a bye in Week 6 and will help keep the bidding low on this waiver wire steal.

Doug Baldwin: The Seattle Seahawks have found themselves a clutch No. 3 receiver in Doug Baldwin who is playing more like a No. 2 receiver instead.

With Mike Williams showing just how average he is, Baldwin has taken on a larger role, catching eight passes for 136 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the New York Giants. Doug Baldwin is definitely worth a waiver wire consideration.
