The injury bug is having a big effect on the fantasy football waiver wire once again heading into Week 5.Nick ChubbandAustin Ekelerare both going to mi s multiple weeks, but their directbackups (Kareem HuntandJoshua Kelley) are likely unavailable in your league. However, now there are new committee backs and handcuffs (D'ErnestJohnson and Justin Jackson)worth adding, as well as a potential breakout RB in New England (Damien Harris), an important handcuff in Arizona (Chase Edmonds), and some intriguing WRs and TEs.

Week 5Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire QB pickups

Teddy Bridgewater(CAR). He is definitely in play as a streamer in Week 5 in aroad matchup against the Falcons ,who give up the most points to quarterbacks. Every quarterback (or set of quarterbacks, in the case of the Bears in Week 3), has accounted for four touchdowns against the Falcons this year. At Emmitt Smith Jerseys least two touchdowns might be more realistic for Bridgewater, but this is a safe spot to stream him in deeper leagues or two-QB/Superflex formats. Proj. FAAB Bid: 7-9%

Justin Herbert(LAC).Hes still very green, but Bruce Arians gave him high praise after Sundays game, likening him toPatrick Mahomesin a private conversation with Anthony Lynn. Herbert has at least 290 pa sing yards in each game, and he has anabsolute cannon arm. There are still concerns regarding three interceptions in three games;however, Dallas Cowboys Pet Gear hes stepped up against very good competition. He draws the Saints on the road next week, which is a tough draw. However, the Saints secondary is pretty banged up, andMatthew Stafforddropped three touchdowns on them this past Sunday. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6-8%

Ryan Tannehill(TEN). The Titans had an impromptu bye week last week, and their schedule is now set up so that five of their next six games are to be played at home. Still, for a quarterback who could be pretty reliable in two-quarterback/Superflex leagues, his ownership is surprisingly low. Despite the exce s of upcoming home games, they have some difficult matchups coming up against Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Indianapolis followed by Baltimore and Indy (again) on the road. Theres risk, but the ownership is still too low. If you arent sold on Tannehill, thenGardner Minshewbounced back this week after a rough performance on Thursday Night in Week 3 against Miami. Jacksonvilles offense looks like it might be clicking, as they it has DJCharkhealthy and has been gettingLaviska Shenaultinvolved more, as well. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6-7%

Week 5Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire RB pickups

Damien Harris (NE).Harris took advantage of Sony Michel's quad injury with his first career start on Monday, rushing 17 times for 100 yards. Rex Burkhead had 11 carries for 45 yards, so Harris still has competition, but he was clearly the Pats best runner. He'll have at least two more games to be featured in that role, and we already know New England has one of the best rushing attacks in the league when Cam Newton (COVID) is healthy. Harris has a lot of upside as a between-the-tackles runner and goal-line threat, making him the best RB betwidely available this week to have long-term succe s.Proj. FAAB Bid:20-25%.

Phillip Lindsay (DEN). Lindsay (toe) is expected to return for Denver in Week 5, and even though Melvin Gordon is coming off a big game in Week 4, chances are this will immediately return to the 50/50 split it originally shaped up to be. Lindsay had seven carries, including a goal- Dallas Cowboys Pants line carry, in the first half in Week 1 before exiting, so he'll be heavily involved in the Broncos offense. He's likely a better runner than Gordon at this point, so don't be surprised if he winds up being the back to own in Denver.Proj. FAAB Bid:20-25%

Chase Edmonds(ARI). I would love to get some clarity on how seriousKenyan Drakes chest injury may be. I dont anticipate him mi sing any time, but in general, his usage has been poor. He didnt have a single target on Sunday and has just five all season. In Drakes place, Edmonds came in and caught five-of-six targets for 24 yards and a touchdown. About three weeks ago, we mentioned that if anything were to happen to Drake that Edmonds is a potential league winner. Drake isnt completely out of the picture, but he has disappointed fantasy owners so far. The FAAB bid this week is tough to read. Obviously, Edmonds looked great with the small sample of work on Sunday, but the question becomes, do we gamble on spending up for a guy who may not have a clear workload ahead of him? Proj. FAAB Bid: 15-20%

DErnest Johnson (CLE). WithNick Chubb (knee) likely to mi s about six weeks, Johnson has a tremendous opportunity as the teams RB2. He led the team with 13 carries on Sunday, and he ran for 95 yards against a very poor Dallas defense.Kareem Huntis now the RB1 in Cleveland, but Johnson might see 10-to-12 carries each week until Chubb returns. Depending on the matchup, hes a viable flex play for the foreseeable future. The Browns like to utilize multiple running backs as weve seen with the Chubb/Hunt tandem. In deeper leagues whereJustin Jacksonand Edmonds might not be available, you might have to spend up a little for Johnson, but hes in line for a good workload going forward.DontrellHilliardmay sneak up and vulture some carries, as well, but if we a sume the Browns ride Dallas Cowboys Women Jersey the hot hand, then it would be Johnson over Hilliard.Proj. FAAB Bid: 15-18%

Justin Jackson(LAC). Again, ifJoshua Kelleyis available in your league, then he is the priority grab, and hes probably worth a 40-45-percent FAAB bid. When Austin Ekeler(hamstring) left the game, the snaps between Kelley and Jackson were 14 to nine. I might expect a slightly heavier share in favor of Kelley going forward, but that doesnt mean Jackson wont get work. This offense thrives on using multiple running backs. We saw it in previous years withMelvin GordonandEkeler, and we saw it this year with Ekeler and Kelley. I know Kelley has had some i sues with ball security, and if that continuesmaybeJackson chews into his workload a little more. But for now, I expect Kelley to get DeMarcus Ware Jerseys more of the pure rushing work, while Jackson may get more use on third downs. Proj. FAAB Bid: 15%

Week 5Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire WR pickups

Tee Higgins(CIN).The Bengals got their first win in theJoe Burrowera last week, andHigginsmaintained a solid role in the offense. For all the experts who toutedA.J. Greens air yards and aDOT, Green has made zero noise in this offense, and its clear that Burrow likesHiggins.Tyler Boydis still the primary target in this offense, but Higgins has 16 targets in the past two games.Over the next four weeks Cincinnati faces the Ravens and Colts (both on the road), followed by the Browns and Titans. Then in Week 10,the Bengals come back and are fed to the Steelers. So, take it week-by-week with Higgins, hes a clear add right now, especially since the Bengals will likely be chasing points in most of their games. There will be targets to go around, and Higgins is emerging as the No. 2in this pa sing attack. Proj. FAAB Bid: 12-14%

Laviska ShenaultJr. (JAX).He was a whiff in Week 3, but he had a very good game in Week 4 even withDJ Charkfinding the end zone twice. Shenault hauled in five-of-six targets for 86 yards, and the Jaguars have even found ways to get him rushing attempts, as well. He did leave last weeks game with a hamstring injury, and as we know, those injuries linger. If hes healthy, hes definitely worth rostering as a stash and could be a flex play going forward if the Jaguars continue to make the concentrated effort to get him the ball. Proj. FAAB Bid: 10-13%

Scotty Miller (TB).The Bucs play on a short week this week as they draw the Bears in Chicago on Thursday night.O.J. Howardjust tore his Achilles',Chris Godwinis still Dak Prescott Hoodies Sweatshirts out for a little longer, evenMike Evanshas been banged up on multiple occasions this year. With that said, Miller has at least 73 receiving yards in three of four games this season. Hes leading the teamfour games with 250 yards. Yes, hes on pace for a 1,000-yard season. Hes drawn comparisons toWes WelkerandJulian Edelman,and Bradys been getting him some targets. Its a tough matchup on a short week, but its a spot for Miller could catch six-to-eight pa ses. Proj. FAAB Bid: 8-10%

Tim Patrick(DEN).Patrick might be one of the more underrated options available on waivers right now. Wall the attention going toJerry JeudyandNoah Fant, Patricks slipped by under the radar. In his past two games hes caught 10-of-11 targets for 156 total yards and a pair of touchdowns. Next week, Denver has anawful road matchup against the Patriots, but Patrick is a nice big target for inexperienced quarterbacks to utilize, especially in the red zon
