If you've read this column long enough, you know that we focus on CBS Sports Fantasy leagues and try to find free agents rostered in 65 percent of leagues or less. But every now and then, we come across a player like Woody Marks, who is rostered in too many leagues on CBS Sports but available on many other platforms. Marks (72 percent rostered on CBS Sports) should be rostered in all leagues where available, with David Montgomery (groin) considered week-to-week.
Marks doesn't have an easy matchup in Week 6 against Jacksonville in London, but he will be at least a flex in all leagues until Montgomery returns. Marks just had a season-best 12.5 PPR points in Week 5 at Tennessee and has scored at least 8.2 PPR points in four games in a row. He's worth adding for at least 20 percent of your remaining FAAB.
There are plenty of other free agents to add who will be difference makers in Week 6 and beyond, which you can read about below. Remember, Week 6 is the first scoring period with four teams on a bye (Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami and Minnesota). Along with all the injuries we're trying to overcome, this could be a vital week on the waiver wire.
Editor's note: For this waiver wire column, we are only looking at players rostered in less than 65 percent of CBS Sports leagues. On a bye: Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, Kyler Murray, Malik Willis Injuries: Lamar Jackson (ankle), Baker Mayfield (thumb), Caleb Williams (hamstring) and Michael Penix Jr. (ribs) Check to see if available in shallow leagues: Jacoby Brissett (83 percent rostered). I thought Brissett would play well in Week 5 against Detroit, and he delivered with his best game of the season at 31.3 Fantasy points.
He doesn't have an easy upcoming schedule against the Rams in Week 6 and Denver in Week 7, but his volume while chasing points makes him appealing to Fantasy managers. He will likely be a low-end starter in all leagues every week. Drop candidates: Bo Nix (79 percent rostered) and Justin Herbert (69 percent).
Nix has scored more than 16.1 Fantasy points just once this season and just had 9.9 Fantasy points in the first game with Sean Payton calling plays. It's tough to trust Nix in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues heading into Week 6 against Seattle. ... Herbert has scored 15.3 Fantasy points or less in every game this season, and you can't start him in one-quarterback leagues in Week 6 at Kansas City.
