Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season is nearly over. And if you play fantasy football, you’re already planning ahead with waivers after a busy slate of games.

That’s what we’re here for, a roundup of some of the players you could be targeting ahead of Week 6 in fantasy football.

Some of the names below might be taken already, but if not, there are a bunch of dudes who could change your fantasy fortunes this season. Let’s run through them, in no particular order, and we'll update this after the Chiefs and Jaguars primetime game on Monday Night Football.

And if you're debating who to drop in order to pick up these rising studs? Christian D'Andrea and the Rhode Island Scumbag have you covered there below.

On to Week 6's top adds:

RB Hassan Haskins, Los Angeles Chargers

Omarion Hampton was spotted in a walking boot after a reported ankle injury. That could mean at least a one-week absence and maybe more. Here's the next man up, although...

RB Kimani Vidal, Los Angeles Chargers

... The Chargers could give him the rock more. Haskins is probably the waiver priority, but give Vidal a look.

WR Kendrick Bourne, San Francisco 49ers

WHEW. He exploded with Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall out. If they miss more time, he could be a factor again.

RB Brashard Smith, Kansas City Chiefs

We're writing this at the moment ahead of MNF, but he's worth a pickup simply because he could leapfrog Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt sometime soon.

WR Isaiah Bond, Cleveland Browns

We know he has wheels. Now? He's seen 14 targets in the past two games. Hmmm.

WR Ryan Flournoy, Dallas Cowboys

No CeeDee Lamb, no KeVontae Turpin, no problem. He had six grabs on nine targets and 114 yards. Worth a flier if you need WR help.

TE Mason Taylor, New York Jets

Well, hello! He saw 12 (!) targets in Week 5 and caught nine of them for 67 yards. If you need a tight end, he's your target.

TE Theo Johnson, New York Giants

A season-high seven targets and two scores. The yardage might not be there but clearly Jaxson Dart likes throwing to him.
