Heading into week six of the 2015 NFL season, we definitely have to take a look at the waiver wire due to injuries from week five resulting in some drastic lineup changes. Thanks to numerous reports from experts, we've compiled some tips for you Fantasy Football teams regarding player rankings, waiver wire players and more. For instance, now that Jamaal Charles is out for the rest of the year, Charcandrick West is the man for the Kansas City Chiefs. Who else is topping the waiver wire? Check out more details and news below.

As we previously reported in our week five and six injury report, Charles suffered a non-contact knee injury, which MRI scans confirmed to be a torn ACL. This is clearly unfortunate for the pro-bowler, but Fantasy owners have to move forward and West is the best pickup off of the waiver wire this week.
He'll be handling the ball almost as much as Charles, stepping into that RB1 position for the Chiefs. Now, West doesn't have the position locked down, but odds are it won't end up going to the other option, Knile Davis (via ESPN). While the matchup against the Minnesota Vikings isn't ideal, West is still a solid pickup for the rest of the season.
While Fantasy Pros' waiver wire report mainly focused on West replacing Charles, other names worth looking at include Brandon LaFell, Javorius Allen, Chris Thompson, Willie Snead and more. Read more here!
Taking a look back at the previous weeks, we can pick and choose players to trade and/or drop. According to Fantasy Pros, there were major "studs" with plenty of "duds" in the last week, so maybe take a look at this list and consider dropping and trading! Also, check out this video from NFL Fantasy Live, informing Fantasy owners about players to trade:
