Fantasy Football: Week 5 Waiver Wire

By Garth Gregor. The wire picks are players who are or were still available in most leagues this week. Depending on how your waiver wire/free agents’ pool works, players may not clear waivers until later this week.

Most players should not be trusted to start in week three unless your draft really went poorly. 

Instead, these players should be monitored or stashed away on your bench for bye weeks’ use or a future starting spot consideration.

QUARTERBACKS

Kyle Orton - QBs are pretty scarce this season which is why this Bear made the list.  Throwing for 467 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games has less to do with his mention than his matchup against the Lions.  Still, most rosters will have a more talented bye week replacements even with injuries and the bye week.
