Even if your fantasy football team is Burley Garciaoff to a slow start, there's still plenty of time to right the ship. A new week is set to begin and momentum can turn on a dime.
That said, you can't just stand pat and merely hope for better results. Sometimes, a few bold moves are required to jump-start a turnaround. And a trade could be just what the doctor ordered.
Let's take a look at some players who might be worth acquiring, ditching or benching as we enter Week 6 of the NFL season.

Fantasy football buy low candidates for Week 6
WR Tank Dell, Houston Texans. A hamstring injury landed top receiver Nico Collins on injured reserve, so the Texans have a wealth of available targets that need to go somewhere. Dell has been mostly silent all season – zero touchdowns in four games and only four targets last week despite Collins leaving in the first quarter – but he's the Texans' best available weapon in the passing game.

RB Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns. After undergoing reconstructive knee surgery last year, Chubb is finally nearing a return to game action. (The Browns initialized his 21-day window Oct. 2.) The team needs him badly with the offense averaging an NFL-worst 239 yards per game. There's nowhere to go but up, and the Browns will give Chubb all the work he can handle.
RB Jaylen Wright, Miami Dolphins. With Miami on bye this week, Wright's team-high 86 rushing yards in Week 5 will go largely unnoticed. Part of his success was due to De'Von Achane exiting early, but Wright's explosiveness isn't going away. Limited production at quarterback increases the importance of getting more out of everyone in the backfield. Wright should see plenty of work, especially with Achane and Raheem Mostert prone to injuries.
TE Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers. Consistent, if unspectacular, production is Freiermuth's calling card. He's had between three and five catches every week, and has scored in each of the past two games. In a down year for tight ends across the board, he's ninth in PPR points – just ahead of Travis Kelce. No matter whether the Steelers stick with Justin Fields or switch to Russell Wilson at quarterback, the "Muuuuuuuth" chants will continue.
QB Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks. Smith surprisingly leads the NFL in passing yards through the first five weeks, connecting on 72% of his passes. He's also been effective as a runner – with a career-high 72 rushing yards last week. What's keeping him from being elite is his five TD passes and four interceptions. Those numbers can and will improve as the Seahawks' schedule softens through their Week 10 bye.

RB Travis Etienne, Jacksonville Jaguars. After Etienne aggravated a shoulder injury in the first half of last week's game, the Jags offense caught fire with QB Trevor Lawrence throwing for 371 yards and backup RB Tank Bigsby bowling over tacklers on his way to 128 total yards and a pair of electrifying TD runs. Etienne is still a valuable dual-threat back, but it seems he's no longer the focal point of the offense.
RB Devin Singletary, New York Giants. Here's another veteran rusher who can't really afford to miss time without yielding snaps to a younger, more dynamic back. Before sitting out last week with a groin injury, Singletary was averaging less than four yards per carry. Rookie Tyrone Tracy took over the lead role in Week 5 and racked up 129 yards on 18 carries. The guard may be changing.
WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals. We're still waiting for the No. 4 overall draft pick to deliver on his vast potential. Sure, his 130-yard, two-TD effort in Week 2 was great … but he's nowhere near the most impressive rookie wideout this season. Harrison has caught more than half of his targets in only one game this season, making him dangerously touchdown-dependent in fantasy. His upside makes him worth holding onto, but fade the performance until he shows more consistency.
WR Rashid Shaheed, New Orleans Saints. Shaheed has been a pleasant surprise as the Saints' No. 2 wideout, with three TD catches and 70 or more receiving yards in four out of five games. However, he has been absent from practice this week with a hip injury and the Saints will likely lean much more this week on RB Alvin Kamara with rookie QB Spencer Rattler taking over for the injured Derek Carr.
TE Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen isn't going to go 9-for-30 for 131 yards every week, but his lack of a connection with Kincaid has been a consistent issue this season. No viable fantasy tight end has a lower catch rate through five weeks than Kincaid's 62.5%, and he's averaging a mere three receptions per game. Don't expect things to improve this week against a Jets defense that's one of the NFL's best vs. tight ends.
