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!

5) Marquez Callaway (NO) - 35% owned – The Saints receiver core is depleted with Deonte Harris suffering a hamstring injury in week 6 and Michael Thomas/Tre’quan Smith still being on IR. Callaway could be in line for added targets this week against the Seahawks.
4) Darnell Mooney (CHI) - 44% owned – Mooney is becoming one of Justin Fields favorite targets catching 11 of 20 targets for 205 yards and a score over the past 3 weeks. He will be going up against a weakened Bucs secondary where the Bears will likely be passing to play catch up.
3) A.J. Green (ARZ) - 44% owned – Green seems to be turning back time in his first season with the Cardinals already catching 21 of 32 targets for 340 yards and 3 scores. He seems to be a consistent target in a high scoring offense making him a great WR3 during bye week fill ins.
2) Rashaad Penny (SEA) - 8% owned – Penny is returning from IR in week 7 and may be in line for a starting role with Chris Carson on IR and Alex Collins questionable. Worth a grab to wait and see if Collins ends up sitting as Penny would then be in line for a high volume game against the Saints.
1) D’Ernest Johnson (CLE) - 3% owned – The Browns backfield is banged up with both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt injured and either unlikely to play on a short week this Thursday night. Johnson looks to be the next man up with an opportunity to start against the Broncos.

5) Miami (MIA) - 49% owned – The Dolphins D has been tearing it up averaging just over 14 points per game in their last 5 matchups. Look for them to continue this in a dream spot against the New York Jets.
4) Josh Reynolds (DET) - 8% owned – Jared Goff appears to have found some chemistry to Reynolds as he has cleared 50 yards in each of the past 3 weeks. Hard to trust the Lions but someone has to catch the ball there.
3) DeVante Parker (MIA) - 46% owned – After returning from injury in week 13 Parker had a solid 5 for 5 catch game for 62 yards. He should be fully healthy after the week 14 bye and taking back over the top receiver role for a cake matchup against the Jets.
2) K.J. Osborn (MIN) - 38% owned – Osborn looks to be a viable play for as long as Adam Thielen remains out with his ankle injury after drawing 9 targets last week. He doesn’t have particularly tough matchups the upcoming two weeks in the Bears and Rams so lock him in as a WR3.
1) Rashad Penny (SEA) - 21% owned – Penny should takeover as the primary Seahawks ball carrier for the rest of the season after rushing for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns last week against the Texans. Great pickup if you are in need of RB heading into the fantasy playoffs.
