Fantasy Football: 10 waiver wire targets for NFL Week 5

Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin headlines this week’s list of fantasy football waiver wire targets.

Four weeks of the 2023 NFL season are now in the books, and we’re about a quarter of the way through the regular season in most fantasy football leagues.

Whether you’re 4-0 or 0-4 in your fantasy football league, every manager loves to find talent on the waiver wire each week.

The biggest waiver wire target this week is Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin, who totaled 104 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown on just 10 touches in Week 4.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said Denver plans to get McLaughlin more involved going forward, so he could end up being a huge find on the waiver wire four games into the season.

To help fantasy football managers attempt to improve their rosters going into Week 5, we’ve put together a quick list of the ten best waiver wire targets with options at running back, wide receiver, quarterback and tight end.
