NFL Week 5: Waiver Wire Pickups

runningback

 

Jerick McKinnon: Big game last week on minimal carries and the eye test says he is the real deal. Look for his role to expand in the coming weeks. Roster him.

Alfred Blue: Blue makes the list again. His production was low in week4 but did you see Arian Foster run? He was missing a leg apparently. That hamstring is not healthy and I don’t believe, at least with Foster’s history, that he will be healthy all season long. Hold the handcuff.

Wide Receiver

 

Jarius Wright: Wright has some serious chemistry with Bridgewater and that trust was built from the beginning of the preseason. Wright is tough to trust week in and week out but I would keep an eye on him seeing he is Teddy’s favorite target.

Andrew Hawkins: Who knew a Browns receiver would produce some fantasy relevance this season. In 3 games this season Hawkins has produced 21 rec, 244 yards on 32 targets. The targets are what count here. Grab him.

Devin Hester: Out of Chicago and into the ATL, Devin Hester has found his speed and love for the game once again. This offense is a high-octane power house that will allow multiple players to produce for fantasy owners. I would stash Hester and see how his role becomes more defined in Week 5/6.
