Fantasy Football waiver wire pickups, players to avoid for Week 5

A look at who to target, and who to avoid for Week 5:

Buy, buy, buy 

Tyler Allgeier RB, Falcons 

Cordarrelle Patterson will miss at least four games with a knee issue that landed him on the IR. He split work with Caleb Huntley on Sunday, but so far this year Allgeier has gotten a heavier workload. 

Rachaad White RB, Buccaneers 

He and Leonard Fournette each had just three carries in Week 4. But White also got prime touches near the goal line, and recorded a TD. This situation smells of a committee. 

Romeo Doubs WR, Packers 

Had a TD overturned on Sunday, or he would be ranked higher on a lot of waiver wires. He should get more efficient and productive the more time he spends working with Aaron Rodgers.

Will Dissly TE, Seahawks 

Some players attract their QB’s attention in the red zone more than others. Dissly is TD-dependent, but he also scores a lot (three times in four games) for a surprisingly OK Seattle offense. 

Sell, sell, sell 

J.K. Dobbins RB, Ravens 

Justice Hill ate heavily into Dobbins’ workload Sunday before a hammy issue, Mike Davis is still around, Gus Edwards will return soon and Lamar Jackson is going to vulture some TDs. Trade Dobbins now, off his two-TD day.

James Conner RB, Cardinals 

Even if he keeps the goal-line carries, expect Eno Benjamin to continue to eat into Conner’s workload. Benjamin has consistently been the more productive of the two. 

Terry McLaurin WR, Commanders 

Not getting the amount of volume within the offense we had hoped, and terribly inefficient when he is targeted. Blame Carson Wentz, but you can’t put McLaurin in your lineup right now. 

D.J. Moore WR, Panthers 

If you thought Scary Terry was scary? Moore is catching well below 50 percent of his targets. Blame Baker Mayfield. The whole Carolina offense is a fantasy disaster, outside of Christian McCaffrey.
