Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Moves


 
Mike Glennon

Week 5 will see only two teams on bye, and chances are your starting quarterback does not play for the Dolphins or Raiders, but if you’re looking at rough matchups, Glennon is a great plug and play. Glennon torched the Steelers for 302 yards and 2 scores leading the Bucs to their first win of the season. The Bucs visit the Saints this week, and the Saints secondary is currently ranked 27th against opposing quarterbacks. Glennon is owned in less than 1% of standard leagues.

Reaves will get the backfield start for the Panthers in Week 5 against the Bears. Chicago does not give up a ton of yards on the ground, but with 15 touches last week, and Cam Newton continuing to look sore at times, the workload should be there for the undrafted rookie. Reaves was on the field for 46 snaps last week, but saw very little productivity. If you have Maurice Jones Drew or Lamar Miller on bye, Reaves is a decent addition for Week 5. Reaves is currently owned in less than 1% of Fantasy leagues.

Allen Robinson

In week 4 Robinson snagged 5 catches for 38 yards against San Diego, but with the Jaguars consistently playing from behind, and Robinson appearing to be one of Bortles favorite targets, we here at Rotoguys.com expect Robinson to be a solid flex play. Robinson has 17 catches for 192 yards, but those stats were all racked up over the last three weeks. The Jags play Pittsburgh who gave up 302 yards through the air to Tampa Bay. Robinson also makes a great waiver wire sub for Mike Wallace on bye, and is currently owned in less than 2% of standard leagues.

Miles Austin

The former Cowboy has become a top red zone target for Brian Hoyer, and he has found the end zone in two straight weeks. The Browns face the Titans this week, and a secondary giving up 225 yards per game through the air. Jordan Cameron being healthy should free up Austin for some decent targets. If you have Mike Wallace or James Jones with Week 5 bye weeks, Austin is a solid flex play against the Titans. Austin is owned in less than 4% of Fantasy leagues.
