Week 5: Last Minute Moves

Welcome to Week 5 of last-minute moves to make. This article is intended to give you late-week waiver and free-agent advice based on late-week news and gameday inactives. Injuries and other late-week developments can have a huge impact on lines and rosters, and being up-to-date on these, especially before waivers and free agency locks before kickoff, is a huge advantage.

Stash Craig Reynolds

Jahmyr Gibbs has a hamstring injury that is keeping him out of week five. David Montgomery is expected to start and Craig Reynolds will be the backup running back. Reynolds is worth a stash at this point in the event Gibbs’s injury lingers as a David Montgomery injury away from a spot start.

Stash Ke'Shawn Vaughn

Ke'Shawn Vaughn took over the backup running back role in Tampa Bay in week four before the team’s week five bye. Vaughn is a free agent in a high percentage of leagues and will be a recommendation for week 6 waiver articles. This is a good opportunity to add him in advance and stash him without making a waiver bid.
