Well, Week 5 was disappointing.
I had suggested the Baltimore Ravens were a slightly better option than the Buffalo Bills only to see the Bills go on to finish as the number-one defense on the week.
Meanwhile, in Baltimore, the Ravens' defense literally fumbled away an opportunity to finish as one of the top defensive units on the week. They ended as the 15th-highest scoring defense in Week 6.

Our third option, the Oakland Raiders, did come through for us, though. They finished tied for the seventh-highest scoring defense on the week.
So, we ended up going two for three in Week 5 in highlighting the top defenses of the week off the waiver wire. Now, it's on to Week 6.
As always, we're combing through the waiver wire to identify low-owned teams set up with a great matchup that can give you an edge each. For this exercise, we're focusing on teams that are less than 50-percent owned on both ESPN and Yahoo. Our goal is to identify teams poised to finish as a top-12 scorer on that given week.
Let's get to the Week 6 options.
