Week 5 Fantasy Waiver Wire: Woody Marks Leads Adds After Week 4 Shakeups
Analysts rank Woody Marks as the priority add after a breakout, with new streaming options emerging across shifting backfields and receiving corps.
Overview
- Yahoo Sports and FantasyPros released early Week 5 waiver lists off Week 4 results as bye weeks begin for the Falcons, Bears, Packers and Steelers.
- Texans rookie Woody Marks out-snapped Nick Chubb 40–30 and posted 119 yards with both a rushing and receiving touchdown for 25.9 half-PPR points, making him the top target.
- Kenneth Gainwell erupted in place of late scratch Jaylen Warren in Dublin with 99 rushing yards, two touchdowns and six catches for 35 yards; Pittsburgh’s Week 5 bye makes him a stash.
- Giants rookie Jaxson Dart profiles as a short-term streamer after 111 passing yards, a passing score, 54 rushing yards and a rushing TD, though Malik Nabers is reportedly feared to have torn his ACL.
- Role shifts elevate ancillary options, with Wan’Dale Robinson positioned for lead-target duty in New York, Quentin Johnston delivering an 8-98-1 line for the Chargers and Kendre Miller logging 11 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown for the Saints.
