Week 5 Waiver Wire: Stevan Ridley and the 3 Players You Must Add

With the first round of bye weeks upon us in Week 5, fantasy owners must hit the waiver wire for that underrated free agent that could lead to victory. 

There's plenty of them out there, so if your lineup looks to be in trouble this week, don't worry. 

Just search for these three guys...

Stevan Ridley 

Chances are Ridley is available in your league, but he won't be for long. 

The Patriots will always be a pass-first team with Tom Brady, so don't be expecting huge numbers from Ridley in the future.

However, at 5'11", 225, New England likes his combination of size and shiftiness and he broke out last week against the Raiders with 97 yards and a touchdown. 

It's likely he'll split touches with BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead, but don't be surprised if he becomes the feature back in New England as early as next week.

Colt McCoy

Yes, Colt McCoy threw the ball 61 times last week.

Not exactly Browns football. 

McCoy is a good option because of his continued growth within Cleveland's system. 

You should look at McCoy because he will put up respectable numbers even if the Browns resort back to Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty to spearhead the offensive attack.

Darrius Heyward-Bey 

Wow, Heyward-Bey lived up to his pre-draft speedster hype against the Patriots in Week 4. 

Good for him. 

This won't happen every week, but with the dominating run game, Hue Jackson knows how effective the play-action pass can be with this team. 

They have speed all over the field, but Heyward-Bey could begin to emerge as a bona fide deep threat and a favorite target of Jason Campbell.
