Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire: RBs to Grab to Replace Injured Stars

Things start to pick up on the fantasy football waiver wire after Week 4.

A full month's worth of games helps fantasy managers to see trends in usage and target shares and to single out ideal waiver-wire additions.

Add in the need to replace injured players, including Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb, and there should be a flurry of activity at running back and wide receiver in both standard or points-per-reception (PPR) leagues.

Managers have plenty of options on the Week 5 wire, whether they are seeking an upgrade, a handicap or need to fill a slot for a bye.
