10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 6
Aaron Jones is coming off a big game filling in for Ty Montgomery. What other players should you target on your waiver wire heading into Week 6?

Atlanta Falcons D/ST

Yahoo Ownership: 21%

Coming off their bye week, the Atlanta Falcons host the Miami Dolphins and struggling Jay Cutler. After the Dolphins flamed out in a 20-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints in London, they were barely able to beat a Matt Cassel-led Tennessee Titans team in Week 5.

Cutler finished with just 92 passing yards and 1 score while also throwing 1 interception. Things were so dismal for the Dolphins that at one point, the fans started a "We Want (Matt) Moore" chant.

The Falcons defense hasn't been great, but they do rank among the top 12 in sacks despite only playing four games. Meanwhile, Atlanta has only been held under 20 points once and the Dolphins defense ranks in the bottom third, according to numberFire metrics. Expected to face negative game script, Cutler is a good quarterback to target for those streaming defenses.
