Week 5 Waiver Wire Fantasy Football Lineup Options After NFL Injury Reports

Injury Report and Waiver Wire Targets

Several notable receivers have already been ruled out for Week 5, including CeeDee Lamb, Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown, KaVontae Turpin, Cedrick Wilson Jr., Alec Pierce, and Trey Palmer.

Titans wideout Calvin Ridley is questionable, as is Arizona Cardinals receiver Greg Dortch.

With Nabers out for the Giants, Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are both worth consideration. Robinson probably has the higher ceiling but is also rostered in more than 60 percent of Yahoo and ESPN leagues.

Slayton, who has averaged three receptions over the last three games, carries more modest expectations but is still available in over half of Yahoo and ESPN leagues.

Tennessee Titans wideout Elic Ayomanor is also worth scooping up this week. The rookie is rapidly emerging as Cam Ward’s favorite target. While his overall numbers (12 catches, 151 yards, 2 TDs) aren’t great, Ayomanor is highly unlikely to draw a blank in any given week.

Ayomanor is still available in over 60 percent of Yahoo and ESPN leagues.

Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr. and Marquise Brown are other receivers who may be available and who should have reasonable sleeper value in Week 5.
