With Week 4 almost in the books outside of one game on Monday night between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, it’s time to start looking ahead to waiver day ahead of Week 5.
While there are no bye weeks this week, those will begin in Week 6, so not only should fantasy managers be making moves for this week, it also wouldn’t hurt to look ahead to next week.
The teams on bye in Week 6 are the Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, Detroit Lions and Houston Texans, all of whom have fantasy-relevant players.
If you have players on any of those teams and don’t currently have the depth to replace them next week, get a move on it this week while keeping your ear to the ground going into Week 6.
With all that in mind, let’s take a look at the best fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 5, the last week without byes until Week 15.
