Fantasy managers are now beginning to scout out waiver wire gems that could turn into potential fantasy football Week 6 RB streamers, due to injuries piling up and bye weeks beginning. The running backs on the waiver wire will likely be scarce in deep formats, but injuries happen and those potential streaming options will surface over time.
If streaming your RB2 or flex spot is your plan this season, read on for three fantasy football Week 6 RB streamers that are worth the look. Keep in mind, bye weeks have begun (HOU, DET, LV, TEN).
Players must be owned in less than 50 percent of ESPN leagues to be included in the fantasy football Week 6 RB streamers column. All ownerships for players will be provided and will reflect that of Wednesday morning, once waivers are processed.
Fantasy Football Week 6 RB Streamers
Eno Benjamin Fantasy Outlook at SEA (22.2%)
If you read our articles leading up to the NFL season, you knew the Arizona Cardinals liked Eno Benjamin, which would lead to a good thing for fantasy football.
With the whole Cardinals backfield banged up, Eno Benjamin has found himself as one of the only options left. If James Conner misses time, Benjamin becomes a good fantasy option because he excels in the passing game. He hasn’t eclipsed 10 carries all season but. without Conner, the opportunities will be there. With the Cardinals’ offense looking a bit better than at the start of the season, his upside is very good, putting him among the fantasy football Week 6 RB streamers.
Brian Robinson Fantasy Outlook at CHI (46.5%)
It is very early to be putting Brian Robinson in fantasy football streamers articles, but his upside and pure talent cannot be ignored. He played his first NFL game last week and only registered nine carries, yet he still led the team. He doesn’t have much upside in the passing game, considering J.D. McKissic is not going anywhere, but he has a very good chance to take over almost all running duties and become a workhorse moving forward.
The Bears allow the eighth-highest FPPG to opposing running backs thus far, so he has high potential this week.

Mike Boone Fantasy Outlook at LAC (30.4%)
With Javonte Williams sidelined for the season, the Denver Broncos backfield will have a chance to make the most of its opportunities, and that starts with Mike Boone. He’ll obviously split with Melvin Gordon and potentially Latavius Murray, but he has a chance to carve out the passing game role moving forward. He’s been targeted at least three times in two straight games and faces the league’s worst defense against the run, allowing over 28.9 fantasy points per game (FPPG).
