It's the end of another exciting week of football which means it's time to put your claims in for available free agents in your fantasy league to strengthen your team. I'll be going over who I think are the top five picks for you to target this week so don't miss out on them. Good luck!
Note: %owned is based on Yahoo! leagues at the time of publication.
5) Samaje Perine (CIN) - 3% owned – Joe Mixon’s status for week 5 is in doubt after spraining his ankle which would push Perine into a high volume game against the Packers for week 5. There shouldn’t be much competition with the only other RB on Cincinnati’s roster being rookie Chris Evans who has yet to record a carry this season.
4) Jamison Crowder (NYJ) - 20% owned – It was a strong season debut for Crowder catching 7 of 9 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He should continue to have opportunities to produce fantasy points on a Jets team likely to be playing from behind more often than not with a quarterback in Zach Wilson that has shown a tendency to target the slot.
3) Dalton Schultz (DAL) - 34% owned – Schultz has been putting up monster numbers the past couple of weeks catching 12 of 15 targets for 138 yards and 3 touchdowns over that span. Look for him to continue his streak against a Giants team giving up the 5th most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
2) Latavius Murray (BAL) - 48% owned – Ty’son Williams was a surprise inactive in week 4 leaving Murray to be the top running back on the Ravens depth chart. He’s worth the add if available despite the risk of a further running back committee.
1) Damien Williams (CHI) - 9% owned – David Montgomery looks likely to miss some time with a knee injury opening up the opportunity for Damien Williams in a run-heavy offense. He should be picked up if needing running back help on your team in the upcoming weeks.
