š Woody Marks & Week 5 Waivers
Players to add ahead of Week 5, along with D/ST streamers and deeeeeep dives.
Good morning.
We blinked and Week 5 is already hereā¦
The leaves are starting to change colors, the air is getting cool, and every week you seem to lose another starter to injury. A tradition unlike any other.
But in true fantasy football fashion, we brush past the fact that a playerās entire career might be hanging in the balance after a catastrophic injuryājust to immediately check whoāll be replacing him. Gotta love capitalism.
So speaking of replacements, letās look at what the waiver wire has to offer this week...

Saints RB Kendre Miller (6%) is the latest handcuff to enter āFLEX with benefitsā territory, as he saw 11 carries to Kamaraās 15. Miller ran for 65 yards and a TD on Sunday and is averaging 3.7 yards after contact on the season, compared to 2.7 for Kamara. They both have 12 missed tackles forced as well, but Kamara has done that on nearly 40 more carries than Miller, per NBC Sportsā Kyle Dvorchak.
Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier (36%) is a top-tier handcuff with some standalone value in positive game scripts. He posted 16/51/1 rushing in a victory over the Commanders in Week 4 and has reached double-digit carries in three of his first four games heading into Atlantaās Week 5 bye, per Fantasy Points.
Check if Bucs RB Rachaad White (48%) is available. Bucky Irving is getting an MRI on his ankle, and HC Todd Bowles said heās concerned. Whiteās a must-start with huge PPR upside if Irving has to miss any time.
Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell (36%) was likely picked up Sunday morning before he went off for 31.4 PPR points. He should return to his backup role after a Week 5 bye, but heās at least proven heās a capable handcuff.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (28%) is eligible to come off IR this week to backup Tony Pollard. Itās always good to roster handcuffs.
