Week 5 Waiver Wire: Breakout Fantasy Football Pickups from Sunday's Box Scores

Sometimes, young players have their breakout moment when managers can feel good about claiming them and moving forward expecting to start them for multiple weeks. Other times, however, players are only strong waiver adds if they're stepping in for an injured teammate or facing an extremely specific matchup that maximizes their value and talent.

This weeks' waiver advice includes both kinds of players, and they're ones you may want to consider claiming. These picks were made assuming a 12-team redraft league using point-per-reception (PPR) scoring.
