NFL Week 5 fantasy football waiver wire/free agent pickups by Michael Luchies
Last weeks pickups were the best yet. Here are 5 players to pick up for week 5, and in general for the rest of the season.
#5. Shot in the dark RB replacements- For those of you who have Steven Jackson, Thomas Jones, Mcfadden, or any other running back that has a bye week, you a lot of options, but no definite ones. T.J. Duckett, Pierre Thomas, and Tim Hightower are possible running back pickups for week 5. If Chris Perry is available or Le’ron McClain you may want to pick them first, even though they don’t project to get many points this week. You have two decent running back options and they sitting at #3 and #1 on this list.
#4. Steve Breaston- Cardinals WR
Breaston has come out of nowhere to be a reliable target for Kurt Warner. Anquan Boldin is most likely out this week after a bone crushing hit he suffered against the Jets. Breaston is a solid play since Kurt Warner is on fire (470 yards last week). Fitzgerald will be double teamed most of the game this sunday by Buffalo, and I would be surprised if Breaston didn’t haul in 5-8 catches and a touchdown at the least. Read the Rest Here
