Top Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stashes for Week 5
As Week 5 approaches, fantasy football managers are advised to stash certain players before the weekend's games to gain an advantage in the waiver wire process. This article highlights five players who are currently rostered in less than 30% of Yahoo! leagues.
Tre’ Harris recently performed well against the Seahawks, catching three passes for 60 yards, and may take on a larger role in the Chargers' offense with Quentin Johnston ruled out and Ladd McConkey's status uncertain. Harris could become a primary target for quarterback Justin Herbert.
Dameon Pierce is another player to consider, as he may find opportunities in the Eagles' backfield despite Will Shipley expected to lead in carries. Coach Nick Sirianni's positive remarks about Pierce suggest he could play a significant role against the Jaguars.
Antonio Williams is also worth stashing, especially with Jayden Daniels returning for the Commanders. With Stefon Diggs out and Terry McLaurin's status questionable, Williams could see increased targets in the passing game.
Dohnte Meyers has shown promise, catching seven passes for 82 yards against the Jaguars. With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins potentially sidelined, Meyers could receive a substantial number of targets in the upcoming game against the Dolphins.
Lastly, Mike Gesicki has been productive, scoring in three of four games this season. He may benefit from increased targets if Chase and Higgins are unable to play, making him a viable streaming option for Week 5.
