Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Week 5: Emanuel Wilson takes over in Seattle
Emanuel Wilson broke out in Week 4 with 120 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. The Seahawks running back headlines the list of top fantasy football waiver wire adds for Week 5.
In Week 5 of fantasy football, Emanuel Wilson steps up in Seattle after Jadarian Price's injury. Wilson dominates the backfield with 120 yards and two touchdowns on 25 touches, making him a strong RB2 candidate. With Zach Charbonnet potentially returning, Wilson's value decreases, but remains valuable if he stays healthy. The Seattle offense faced a challenge with Saquon Barkley's injury, leading to Tank Bigsby taking over briefly.
Bigsby contributed 55 yards on 14 carries, but the uncertainty around his health makes him a risky FAAB bid. The Cardinals' running back picture remains unclear with Jeremiyah Love's lower-leg injury, potentially opening up opportunities for Tyler Allgeier. Allgeier has shown consistency as a trusted option on passing downs, making him a reliable FAAB target.
