Best fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 5

Whether you need a quarterback, running back, wide receiver or tight end, there are some intriguing options available on the fantasy football waiver wire in Week 5.

And, believe it or not, some of those options are at the running back position, where multiple starters suffered injuries on Sunday that could open the door for their backups, who are widely available, to see big workloads.

The cupboard is more bare at the wide receiver position, but there is still one out there who got on track in Week 4 and has a proven record of solid production.

At tight end, our two suggestions involve one player who is a shaky bet, and another who has gotten the job done multiple weeks in a row, making him a safer proposition.

Let’s find out who these aforementioned players are, as well as the rest of the best who could be sitting out there on your waiver wire this week.
