It's not a great sign that one of the topis yet to play a down this season and has caught just one pa s in his entire career, isn't it? But these are the cards we're dealt, so even though Detroit's Jameson Williamsis better suited to be picked up waivers clear around 4-5 a.m. ET on Wednesday mornings in most ESPN and Yahoo leagues, he gets a special shoutout in our second waivers roundup of the week.Yes, our is probably our least appealing yet thanks to a lack of big RB injuries and few WR breakouts. Nonethele s, there are some interesting, widely available pickups at every position, includingC.J. Stroud,Jaleel McLaughlin,Tyler Boyd,Michael Wilson, and Cole Kmet. In honor of the first byes (Browns, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Chargers), we also have a bunch of potential QB, TE, and D/ST streamers, which can be found at the .With semi-positive reports emerging about Javonte Williams (hip) and Tee Higgins (ribs), it's tough to recommend using a high waiver claim on anyone this week. If Williams' prognosis takes a turn for the worse, McLaughlin and Samaje Perine would both deserve claims, but if you're set at running back, you can avoid the ha sle and move up the waivers pecking order.MORE: Here's the best piece of advice we can give you this week: Do not use a waiver claim on a TE, D/ST, or kicker if yours is on bye. There's a tendency to fixate on a particular streamer when you Seth Joyner Jersey need one during the byes, but in reality, most of these one-week fill-ins are basically interchangeable. That's especially true this early in the year when matchup data still includes a lot of noise. Hold strong until free agency and grab what you need for free.WEEK 5 FANTASY: | | Jameson Williams, WR, Lions.Williams has been much more hype than substance in his short career. Despite playing in six games last year, he caught just one pa s. This season once again started on the sidelines thanks to a six-game suspension (later reduced to four) for violating the league's gambling policy. As it stands, the 12th overall pick in Reggie White Jersey the 2022 draft is set to return this week, and no one really knows what to expect. Detroit boasts the No. 8 pa sing offense and No. 8 scoring offense in the NFL, so if Williams settles in as Jared Goff's No. 2 target, he has major upside. Talent alone makes him worth stashing, as there are few high-ceiling lotto tickets like Williams freely available on over 60 percent of waiver wires. Leave him on your bench this week against Carolina, but monitor his playing time closely.WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Samaje Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin, RBs, Broncos.The rookie McLaughlin outshined the veteran Perine in Week 4, posting two more touches, 79 more total yards, and a score, but Perine actually outsnapped him 22 to 16. It doesn't sound like Javonte Williams' hip injury will keep him out for an extended period, but it's entirely po sible he'll mi s Week 5 against the Jets. That isn't a particularly good matchup, but both backs are still worth adding if you need a flex in deep leagues. We slightly favor McLaughlin, but Perine will likely once again play more and handle goal-line carries.WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Chuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers.Is Miles Sanders actually healthy? He played through a groin injury last week, but he logged eight fewer snaps and had the same number of touches as Hubbard. When he's 100 percent, Sanders is the clear No. 1 in Carolina's backfield, but soft ti sue injuries often linger for running backs. Hubbard isn't worth a waiver claim, but he's quickly becoming one of the most valuable handcuffs and deep-league RB stashes.Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams.Stafford is available in around 50 percent of Yahoo leagues, which is ridiculous considering he's leading the league in pa s attempts and has thrown for over 300 yards in three-of-four games. The TDs haven't been there (just three), but they'll come soon enough. The imminent return of Cooper Kupp (hamstring) is only going to help Stafford, who now has a trio of solid WRs, a reliable TE, and a solid receiving back. If he can stay healthy, Stafford has the potential to be a Dallas Goedert Jersey top-10 fantasy QB the rest of the way. At the very least, he makes for a great Week 5 streamer against Philadelphia's 27th-ranked pa s defense.For additional waiver/free agent suggestions, including top pickupsTyler Boyd,Michael Wilson,C.J.
