Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Top targets at each position for Week 5

Tight Ends

Jimmy Graham, Green Bay Packers (35.7 percent owned)

Graham looked like his old self on Thursday night as Aaron Rodgers targeted him nine times, which resulted in six catches for 61 yards and a touchdown. He may not be the monster he once was in New Orleans and the consistency won’t be there but he’s a high-end boom-or-bust player at the position.

Ricky Seals-Jones, Cleveland Browns (0.0 percent owned)

With David Njoku out, the Browns have been filling in with replacement level tight ends. Seals-Jones, however, looked dynamic with a couple of big plays that saw him end the week as TE4 in fantasy football. He’s well worth a waiver wire add and stash to see if he continues to be a factor with Njoku sidelined.

Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Rams (1.8 percent owned)

Everett is certainly a flier pick here as the game-script in Week 4 certainly helped him to a 15.4-point showing. However, he had eight targets on the day, showing that he can be a factor in the Rams offense if they have to throw a ton — which they might with how their defense is looking.

Defense/Special Teams

We’re never going to predict season-long defenses, though these two aren’t bad bets there. These are defenses with intriguing Week 5 matchups that could pay off in fantasy football.

Tennessee Titans (47.0 percent owned)

The Titans defense has been relatively strong to this point, registering 10 points per game in fantasy while also scoring over seven points in three of their four games. Potentially facing a Matt Barkley led Bills team, the upside is high here.

Cleveland Browns (33.5 percent owned)

If you throw out the Week 1 debacle, the Browns defense is averaging 9.7 points per game in fantasy over the last three weeks. And though the 49ers might be 3-0, their offense has been a bit inconsistent. This could be a sneaky good pickup if you’re in need for Week 5.
