Waiver Wire2026 NFL Week 6
Published Tuesday, October 13, 2026
This is from a past week. The current week's calls are on the weekly page.
Four adds with a claim priority, two drop candidates, and one deep-league stash. Researched live by AI from that week's news, so verify before you act.
Waiver Adds
- Woody Marks (RB, HOU). Claim priority: HIGH David Montgomery is week-to-week with a groin injury, and coach DeMeco Ryans said Marks "will carry the load" after Marks had 56-of-65 snaps and no other back received a carry or touch in Week 5.
- Germie Bernard (WR, PIT). Claim priority: HIGH With Michael Pittman Jr. on injured reserve, Roman Wilson saw just one target while rookie Bernard was targeted nine times, catching six passes for 80 yards, and Wilson was knocked out early with a wrist injury.
- Brenton Strange (TE, JAX). Claim priority: MEDIUM Strange is a featured part of the Jaguars offense and just put up consecutive games with seven catches on eight targets, and he gets the Texans at home.
- Dameon Pierce (RB, PHI). Claim priority: MEDIUM Unless Barkley or Shipley can play, and Barkley has been labeled week to week, Pierce will probably be the lead back when the Eagles host the Panthers, so grab the volume even if the line is shaky.
Drop Candidates
- Kenneth Gainwell (RB, TB). Irving is simply the better player, and Sean Tucker would probably assume a significant portion of the early-down work if Irving were unavailable, so Gainwell is droppable.
- Chris Godwin (WR, TB). Godwin has just 21 targets and 179 receiving yards this season, and the passing game is going to take a hit with Jalon Daniels under center.
Deep League Stash
- Darius Cooper (WR, PHI). Cooper led Eagles receivers with an 85% snap share but received only three targets, catching two for 71 yards and a touchdown, giving him four scores in four games as a boom-or-bust flex while DeVonta Smith is out.
