The Rams and Commanders suffered two significant injuries in Week 6 that will impact Fantasy managers. Davante Adams (hamstring) will miss 6-10 weeks, and Terry McLaurin (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the season. It won't be easy for the Rams to replace Adams, even with Puka Nacua on the roster.
Most likely, we'll see the Rams continue to involve their tight ends even more in the passing game, which should benefit Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and, eventually, Terrance Ferguson (ankle) when healthy. Konata Mumpfield is the Rams receiver Fantasy managers should target in deeper leagues, but he will likely have inconsistent production. We'll see if the Rams add anyone else to the roster, and other guys to keep an eye on in Los Angeles are Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell.
For Washington, Antonio Williams should get the biggest boost, as he should now start opposite Stefon Diggs and Williams is worth adding in all leagues. Treylon Burks is also worth a look in deeper formats, and Chigoziem Okonkwo is now worth using as a low-end tight end in all formats. The receivers to target off the waiver wire this week along with Williams and Mumphield include Omar Cooper Jr., Demario Douglas, Malik Washington, Kendrick Bourne, Jaylin Noel, KC Concepcion, Jakobi Lane and Christian Kirk.
Long-term, you can also target Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), Khalil Shakir and even Travis Hunter. We'll get into all the waiver-wire receivers below, and hopefully you can find someone to help if you just lost Adams or McLaurin. Other receiver injuries from Week 6 include Mike Evans (Achilles), Romeo Doubs (shoulder) and Ladd McConkey (concussion).
The four teams on a bye in Week 7 are Buffalo, Jacksonville, the Chargers and Washington, which means we're down D.J. Moore, Keon Coleman, Shakir, Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Diggs and Williams. Add in the injuries, and it's going to be a busy waiver-wire week at wide receiver.
There are also some players to add who are playing well without an injury, and we'll have our usual streamers at quarterback, tight end, DST and kicker. Editor's note: For this waiver wire column, we are only looking at players rostered in less than 65 percent of CBS Sports leagues. On a bye: Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, Jayden Daniels and Justin Herbert Injuries: Jalen Hurts (calf), Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Baker Mayfield (thumb) Check to see if available in shallow leagues: Kirk Cousins (75 percent rostered).
