10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 6

Kyle Juszczyk, RB, San Francisco 49ers

Yahoo Ownership: 0%

With Jimmy Garoppolo out for the season, the San Francisco 49ers have already received the worst news that they could have this season. They're now 1-4 and tied for last in the division. If making the playoffs already seemed like a pipe dream, Matt Breida sustained yet another injury, one which may keep him sidelined.

Breida, the third-leading rusher in the league entering this week, started out hot against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. He had 56 yards on just 8 carries, tacking on a 5-yard touchdown reception. All was going well, and then he sustained an ankle injury and had to exit the game. This time, it could keep him out for at least a couple of games.

If you are a Breida owner, you may not be able to grab Alfred Morris, who already has a 42% ownership on Yahoo. If he's free, he's certainly worth a pickup. Morris isn't the only viable option in the Niners' running attack, however.

With Breida out, Kyle Juszczyk had his moment to shine. He was used extensively in the passing game with the Niners trying to battle back against the Cardinals, and he finished with 6 catches on 7 targets for 75 yards. He tacked on a 12-yard carry, finishing the day with 14.7 PPR points.

He should have another chance to show off this week in a Monday night matchup at the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are already 10.0-point favorites, a number that could climb by kickoff. As such, we can expect San Francisco to be playing from behind, which benefits Juszczyk much more than it does Morris.

The week after should be a similar situation as the Niners host the Rams, so if Breida remains out, Juszczyk should continue to see heavy involvement. At 0% -- yes, zero -- ownership on Yahoo, he is more than available. If you need help in PPR formats in the coming weeks, give him a look.
