Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire: How much to bid on Kareem Hunt, Dontayvion Wicks and more key targets

R.J. White breaks down the best widely-available Fantasy football free agents heading into Week 5

Another week in the NFL means another week with key injuries that will leave Fantasy football managers scrambling to either replace lost superstars or mine the waiver wire for Fantasy's next big thing. This week, it was Rashee Rice who suffered a devastating injury that could threaten the trajectory not just of the Chiefs' quest of a threepeat, but also the outlook for Fantasy managers relying on Rice to be a top-15 WR for the rest of the season.

On the positive front, several unheralded receivers seem to be emerging in Fantasy relevant ways around the league, while one little rostered tight end may be the next must-start option at a position that has been rough for most Fantasy managers all season.

Below, you'll find top options at every position rostered in fewer than 60% of leagues on CBSSports.com. We'll start with a waiver priority chart that features my FAB bid projections for every player discussed in this waiver wire article before we dive into each player.
