Waiver Wire Express - Week Five Lightning Round

This column is published on Mondays every week, and then updated on a daily basis. Over the course of each week, we also publish more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.

But in efforts of bringing you timely information, as fast as possible, consider this the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 5.

Waiver pickups are in order of priority, broken out by each position, and this list will be updated after the Monday night games. Players must be owned in less than 60% of leagues, and range from shallow options in standard leagues, to deeper options in PPR leagues.
