Week 5 Waiver Wire: Experts Prioritize Woody Marks, Highlight Streamers as Bye Weeks Start
Injury shakeups create immediate volume plays for low-rostered options entering the first bye week.
Overview
- Woo dy Marks is the top add after seizing Houston’s backfield with a two-touchdown Week 4 and a favorable matchup on deck.
- Malik Nabers’ likely torn ACL shifts New York’s targets toward Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson, with rookie Jaxson Dart recommended as a deeper-league streamer.
- Kenneth Gainwell delivered 134 total yards and two scores with Jaylen Warren sidelined, making him a stash through Pittsburgh’s Week 5 bye pending Warren’s status.
- Tyjae Spears is eligible to return from IR and could force a Titans committee, while Elic Ayomanor’s 26.9% Week 4 target share puts him on the flex radar in upcoming matchups.
- Deep-league and streaming targets include Tua Tagovailoa for a soft two-week schedule, RBs Kendre Miller and Zavier Scott, and pass-catchers Isaiah Bond, Tommy Tremble and Jalen Coker.
