Scott Pianowski (@scott_pianowski) of Yahoo! Sports joins us to look back at Week 6 and identify some worthy waiver wire additions. We begin by looking at the Chief's backfield and how fantasy owners should approach the timeshare between Jamaal Charles and Spencer Ware (3:09), Jay Ajayi's big week and his rest of season outlook (7:34), Todd Gurley's slump and if Kenny Britt is the most consistent offensive player for the Rams moving forward (10:49), Ty Montgomery's solid performance (13:07), if Cameron Meredith is a solid WR2 the rest of the way (14:53), Baltimore's confusing backfield (18:38), Ezekiel Elliot's continued dominance (20:40) and if Ladarius Green, Jack Doyle and Vernon Davis are fantasy relevant tight end options (24:05). We digress and admire the Patriots offense (25:16) before continuing to the Broncos backfield and if Devontae Booker is a threat to CJ Anderson (28:35), Derrick Henry's prospects if Demarco Murray were to get injured (33:01), Jacquizz Rodgers' value in the Buccaneers offense (34:16) and if any Lions running backs are worth owning (35:25). We close out by looking at Tyler Boyd (36:55) and Marcus Mariota (40:55) before we finish with defenses worth streaming in Week 7 (42:06). Sponsor: www.MackWeldon.com.
