Fantasy Football: Week 5 Add Drop

Another week in the books and we as fantasy football players must do our due diligence on the waiver wire. Who should we add to or drop from our rosters, and who should we monitor going forward? This week is a rough week to be active on the waiver wire.

Add

TJ Yeldon, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars – Yeldon is the next man up, again, since Leonard Fournette is injured, again.

Antonio Callaway, WR, Cleveland Browns – Callaway and Mayfield have obvious chemistry that should continue, especially with Josh Gordon in New England now.

Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers – If he isn’t already, Jones will soon assume the lead back duties in Green Bay. He is the superior talent.

Nick Chubb, RB, Cleveland Browns – He only received a handful of carries, but turned them into 100+ yards and two touchdowns. He could see a serious uptick in usage. He’s a good stash for now.

Sony Michel, RB, New England – If you’ve been living under a rock, or just been stubborn, you should add Michel. He is the lead back in New England who is putting more emphasis on the run game.

Keke Coutee, WR, Houston Texans – Coutee is reportedly going to be a focal point of the Texans’ offense going forward. The rookie put up 11 catches for 109 yards in week 4.

Drop

Tyler Eifert, TE, Cincinnati Bengals – Eifert shattered his ankle and will likely revert to IR.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Yeesh, it wasn’t long ago that Fitzpatrick was on the ‘Add’ list. Recently demoted, it is Jameis Winston’s team now.

Will Dissly, TE, Seattle Seahawks – Dissly suffered a torn patella tendon and is out for the year.
