Week 6 is here and we have a few big injuries that will be playing into waiver wire decisions this week. Numero uno is Jamaal Charles going down with a torn ACL. Not good. Additionally, Jags’ QB Blake Bortles could be sidelined with an AC joint sprain. Between making the best of injuries and new players rising up, there are several good targets to pick from going into Week 6.
Charcandrick West (RB, Kansas City Chiefs)
It looks like Jamaal Charles is out with a significant knee injury. That’s going to leave the Chiefs running game in the hands of Knile Davis and Charcandrick West. While many will be targeting Davis, West could be the potential star pickup. After Charles went down in Week 5 West saw the majority of the carries and showed much more upside. He’s likely taken over the top spot on the depth chart. Also, Charcandrick is a pretty sweet name.
Thomas Rawls (RB, Seattle Seahawks)
Rawls had a big performance in Lynch’s absence in Week 5. Many owners sent him back to the player pool after an uninspired Week 4 performance. There’s a chance Lynch will remain out for some time nursing a hamstring injury, so now is the time to grab Rawls if he’s out there.
