Even if your fantasy football team is off to a slow start, there’s still plenty of time to right the ship. A new week is set to begin and momentum can turn on a dime.
That said, you can’t just stand pat and merely hope for better results. Sometimes, a few bold moves are required to jump-start a turnaround. And a trade could be just what the doctor ordered.
Let’s take a look at some players who might be worth acquiring, ditching or benching as we enter Week 6 of the NFL season.
Fantasy football buy low candidates for Week 6
WR Tank Dell, Houston Texans. A hamstring injury landed top receiver Nico Collins on injured reserve, so the Texans have a wealth of available targets that need to go somewhere. Dell has been mostly silent all season – zero touchdowns in four games and only four targets last week despite Collins leaving in the first quarter – but he’s the Texans’ best available weapon in the passing game.

TE Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers. Consistent, if unspectacular, production is Freiermuth’s calling card. He’s had between three and five catches every week, and has scored in each of the past two games. In a down year for tight ends across the board, he’s ninth in PPR points – just ahead of Travis Kelce. No matter whether the Steelers stick with Justin Fields or switch to Russell Wilson at quarterback, the ‘Muuuuuuuth’ chants will continue.
