Card image cap

As we approach Week 6 of the fantasy football season, we have four teams who won't be in action — the Vikings, Lions, Dolphins and Bengals. Minnesota is among the top defenses in the NFL, as well as an every-week starter for fantasy. That may leave you looking for streaming options in Week 6. Thankfully, Justin Boone has you covered with his full his waiver column for this week, including his top D/ST streamers.

Chiefs vs. Chargers: Kansas City is coming off its bye and Los Angeles might be the most disappointing team in the NFL so far this season. The Chargers are 0-5 and have failed to score more than 20 points in four of five games. The Chiefs should relish the opportunity to effectively end their division rival's season.

Colts vs. Titans: Among those 0-5 teams is Tennessee, fresh off scoring three points in a loss to the Texans in Week 5. Indy's defense has left much to be desired but should have an easy time containing Cam Ward and Co., a unit which ranks last in points and yards.

49ers vs. Commanders: A rule of thumb in fantasy (specifically DFS circles) is to target a D/ST that's a heavy favorite at home. The Niners open as 7.5-point favorites over Washington at home in primetime in Week 6. San Francisco is fresh off five sacks, two INTs and a TD for 16 fantasy points in the win over Seattle in Week 5.
