NFL Week 5 Emergency Waiver Wire Targets

This week, fantasy football managers are advised to consider several waiver wire targets for NFL Week 5, notably Jacoby Brissett and Tyson Bagent. Brissett, playing for Arizona, has achieved a solid offensive grade of 79.0, completing 67.8% of his passes, although his yards per attempt stands at 5.4. He faces the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, making him a viable low-end QB1 option.

Brissett's performance is bolstered by his volume, as he ranks eighth among quarterbacks with 152 pass attempts. Meanwhile, Bagent had a commendable showing in Week 4 against the New York Jets, completing 25 of 34 passes for 268 yards. He will be up against a struggling Green Bay Packers defense, which has a below-average PFF defensive grade this season, positioning him as a mid-range QB2 and a suitable emergency starter for fantasy managers.
