Week 6 Waiver Wire: Sammie Coates, Cameron Meredith Highlight Pickups to Know

What do Sammie Coates, Cameron Meredith, Adam Thielen, Chris Hogan and Jeremy Kerley have in common?

All five wide receivers posted more than 100 yards receiving over the weekend, startling fantasy football owners and giving them plenty of options going into the rest of the season.
