Darrel Williams gets his chance to shine in KC offense
There were some quality pick-ups on my Top Waiver Wire Adds for Week 5, but the upside was limited for the overall group.
The top name to return to this week’s Waiver Wire Frenzy is Kansas City’s Darrel Williams (18 percent Yahoo! Sports & 8 percent ESPN).
Williams will the lead back in the Chiefs offense for at least 3 weeks as Clyde Edwards-Helaire was placed on the short-term IR with a MCL sprain.
Here is the rest of this week’s top waiver picks.
Quarterback
Taylor Heinicke, Washington (16 percent Yahoo! Sports & 13 percent ESPN)
Heinicke returns to the list again but his starting time may be coming to end soon
Geno Smith, Seattle (1 percent Yahoo! Sports & 0 percent ESPN)
Smith replaces the injured Russell Wilson for at least 4 weeks.
Running Back
Jerrick McKinnon, Kansas City (1 percent Yahoo! Sports & 1 percent ESPN)
He will get some touches in the KC potent offense
Devontae Booker, NY Giants (8 percent Yahoo! Sports & 4 percent ESPN)
Will be the top back until Saquon Barkley returns from his ankle sprain.
Brandon Bolden, New England (9 percent Yahoo! Sports & 8 percent ESPN)
He’s the clear cut third-down back for the Patriots.
Khalil Herbert, Chicago (19 percent Yahoo! Sports & 5 percent ESPN)
Should continue to see some carries behind Damien Williams.
Wide Receiver
Kadarius Toney, NY Giants (18 percent Yahoo! Sports & 12 percent ESPN)
Under-rostered is an understatement for the rookie.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit (3 percent Yahoo! Sports & 4 percent ESPN)
Next man up in the Lions’ injured-plagued receiving corps.
Rashod Bateman, Baltimore (24 percent Yahoo! Sports & 13 percent ESPN)
The rookie will make his season debut this week.
Mecole Hardman, Kansas City (43 percent Yahoo! Sports & 42 percent ESPN)
Saw 12 targets last week.
T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis (21 percent Yahoo! Sports & 19 percent ESPN)
Expected to return from IR soon.
Chris Moore, Houston (0 percent Yahoo! Sports & 0 percent ESPN)
DeAndre Carter, Washington (0 percent Yahoo! Sports & 0 percent ESPN)
One of these will have value as the season moves forward.
Tight End
Hunter Henry, New England (47 percent Yahoo! Sports & 36 percent ESPN)
The clear No. 1 receiving TE for the Pats.
Dan Arnold, Jacksonville (4 percent Yahoo! Sports & 1 percent ESPN)
Proves to be Jags top spot TE after trade from Carolina.
David Njoku, Cleveland (3 percent Yahoo! Sports & 2 percent ESPN)
Baker Mayfield’s fav TE target.
Ricky Seals-Jones, Washington (2 percent Yahoo! Sports & 1 percent ESPN)
Filled in nicely for Logan Thomas.
