In most fantasy football leagues, we are quickly approaching the mid-way point of the regular season. If you're near the top of your standings, then just keep doing what you're doing. But if you're heading for 2-3 or worse, it's probably time to stop being patient. Drop the middle-round pick who has provided late-round production, drop the rookie who you're waiting on to establish a more consistent role, and attack the waiver wire, because there are a handful of useful players still available in most leagues and a number of new, intriguing names after Week 5 action. Even if your team is in good position, it's never a bad idea to look for some stashes to help later in the year, and there are plenty of those available, too. With that in mind, you can click through the gallery for a look at the best waiver-wire pickups to target in anticipation for Week 6. Note that we're strictly looking at players who are owned in more than half of Yahoo leagues. (Getty)
