Dwain & Mike are back and ready to get you prepped for Week 6 of Fantasy Football action!

Four teams are on a bye this week - Detroit, Cincinnati, Minnesota, and Miamia - which means marquee players like Jahmyr Gibbs, Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Joe Burrow, Jamarr Chase, Chase Brown, and Justin Jefferson will all be on the sidelines! Who takes their place in your lineup??

With the massive number of injuries sustained in the league's first 5 weeks, the Waiver Pool is MIGHTY THIN, especially if you are in a larger league with more teams! Dwain & Mike will help you deep dive to find players to help you fill out your lineup!

It's WAIVER WIRE WEDNESDAY on Next Level Fantasy... helping YOU take YOUR TEAM to the NEXT LEVEL!

The bye weeks are officially here!

Sure, only two teams are sitting out this week — Kansas City and Carolina — but that still means some BIG fantasy names could be missing from your lineup. Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker III, Travis Kelce, Bryce Young, Tetairoa McMillan, Chuba Hubbard and more could leave fantasy managers scrambling for answers.

And when you add in all the injuries that have already piled up through the first month of the season, setting a competitive Week 5 lineup might be easier said than done!

That's where Dwain & Mike come in.

This week, the guys deep-dive into the waiver pool looking for those hidden gems who could help fill the gaps and keep your roster moving in the right direction.

They'll also break down some of Week 5's biggest matchups from a Fantasy Football perspective, identifying players and situations that could have a major impact on your lineup.

PLUS, it's time for a brand-new segment — "Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down!" Dwain and Mike are put on the spot as they give their verdicts on several players who haven't exactly lived up to expectations so far. Are they worth hanging onto... or is it time to move on?

And, of course, don't miss Dwain's "Robert's Ice COOL Player of the Week" and Mike's "Mike Ellis Plumbing CRAPPY Player of the Week!"

The bye weeks are here. The injuries are mounting. The waiver wire is calling.

LET'S DO THIS! It's Week 5 of NEXT LEVEL FANTASY — helping YOU take your team to the NEXT LEVEL!

Bye weeks start THIS WEEK!

Ok, yes, only two teams are on bye (KC, Carolina), but FOUR TEAMS will be on bye next week and with the rash of injuries to a number of key fantasy players, NOW is the time to start looking to fill in the gaps!

It's the Week 5 edition of Waiver Wire Wednesday... who should you be looking at to fill the voids of players like Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker III, Travis Kelce, Bryce Young, and Tetairoa McMillen this week? Not to mention, players like Saquon Barkley, Rashee Rice, and Lamar Jackson could all join the list of players to miss multiple weeks!

Mike & Dwain will point you in the right direction on NEXT LEVEL FANTASY... taking YOUR team to the NEXT LEVEL!
