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) Khalil Herbert (CHI) - 19% owned – The sixth round rookie got a lot more playing time than expected rushing 18 times for 75 yards. This still looks to be a timeshare situation with Damien Williams until starter David Montgomery returns but worth the pickup if you are desperate for a running back play for the next couple weeks.
4) Green Bay (GB) - 25% owned – The Packers go up against a weak Bears offense giving up the 8th most fantasy points to opposing defenses. Look for turnovers from rookie Justin Fields later in the game when trying to catch up in points.
3) Kadarius Toney (NYG) - 18% owned – The first round rookie is coming off a breakout performance against the Cowboys catching 10 of 13 passes for 189 yards. May be pause to plug and play in week 6 given he injured his ankle and may be without a concussed Daniel Jones, but worth the bench stash regardless.
2) Devontae Booker (NYG) - 7% owned – Booker will be the lead back for the Giants after Saquon Barkley suffered an ankle injury that put him in a walking boot and crutches. Look for Booker to build upon the 58 yard two touchdown performance he put up coming off the bench in week 5.
1) Darrel Williams (KC) - 18% owned – Clyde Edwards-Helaire will be out for a few weeks with a sprained MCL giving Williams opportunity to be the starting running back on a high powered offense. He should be the number 1 waiver add this week.
