Fantasy Waiver Wire Targets Week 5: Zach Charbonnet, Will Shipley, Michael Mayer, and More
The first month of the fantasy football season is behind us, and keeping a starting lineup intact is becoming a job of its own. Injuries have created new opportunities just as bye weeks begin thinning our options.
Week 5 of the fantasy football season presents a myriad of waiver wire targets, as injuries and bye weeks open up opportunities for new starters and bench additions. Our column highlights Zach Charbonnet, Will Shipley, Michael Mayer, and other notable players who could provide value. Charbonnet, a Seattle Seahawks running back, has a high potential (61%) and is expected to be activated in Week 6, making him a priority for rosters.
Shipley, the Philadelphia Eagles' sole healthy running back, is a top pickup for immediate help, assuming Barkley and Bigsby are sidelined. Meanwhile, Tyler Allgeier, an Arizona Cardinals backup, might become a more viable option if star back Jeremy Love is sidelined, thanks to his handcuff value.
