It's an especially interesting and busy fantasy football week for the waiver wire. We've received a lot of questions of which players to add off the waiver wire, and who to let go of.
We thought it would be a good idea to publish our list of Week 5 waiver wire rankings. This is our priority list for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks to add.
This is a tricky exercise - especially without knowing everyone's league settings, scoring formats, and free agent pool. But hopefully it will help you prioritize your moves and set those winning lineups.
Editor's Note: Our incredible team of writers won two writing awards and received 12 award nominations by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association. A big congrats to our very own Byron Lindeque (Golf) and Jordan McAbee (NASCAR) for both winning Writer Of The Year awards!
