It seems like the 2022 NFL season is flying by. About the only thing keeping up with that brisk pace is roster depletion. The injuries keep mounting up and the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 6 is vital to helping you stay proactive.   Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 6, with FAAB recommendations. FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget   Kenneth Walker III (RB) Seattle Seahawks (75%+ FAAB) - Another unfortunate injury to Rashaad Penny might have unlocked the biggest acquisition of the 2022 season. Once thrust into action, Walker took every carry for Seattle and played nearly every down. He showed tremendous burst and vision and broke a 69-yard TD. Available in more than half of ESPN leagues, Walker is going to cost a substanisial bid. And, he's going to be worth it. If the Seahawks continue to look this good, Walker offers league-winning upside. Taysom Hill (TE) New Orleans Saints (10% FAAB) - Somebody is likely to overbid for Hill bases on last week's blow-up game. He's certainly worth a solid bid but proceed with caution. Hill is not drawing targets and his role has increased with Andy Dalton filling in. When Jameis Winston returns, there is no guarantee the Saints will be willing to give as many red-zone snaps to Hill. Cash in while you can, but understand the risk/reward.       What other fantasy football free agents should you bid on?
