Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5: Byes bring new set of issues to fix

Yahoo Fantasy analysts Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens identify a quarterback to pick up and some wide receivers that can be plugged in for the season’s first bye week.

Even if you'd somehow dodged injuries in the season's opening weeks, you're probably gonna need a little help from the waiver wire very soon. The byes are now officially upon us. We won't have our Browns, Chargers, Seahawks or Bucs at our disposal next week. So, yeah, we have some work to do. Lucky for you, every week around here we identify a collection of useful fantasy options, all of whom are available in a majority of Yahoo leagues.
