Week 5 Waiver Wire: Chase Brown, Kareem Hunt, Josh Downs Highlight Pickups to Know

Chase Brown made his best claim to be the Cincinnati Bengals' No. 1 running back with his Week 4 performance.

The second-year running back scored twice against the Carolina Panthers and turned himself into one of the top waiver-wire pickups with bye weeks starting in Week 5.

Kareem Hunt is in a different situation in Kansas City, but it still warrants fantasy football attention.

The Chiefs are now down Isiah Pacheco, Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice and need every healthy skill position player on their roster.

Josh Downs' fantasy status may be affected by an injury as well since Joe Flacco finished the Indianapolis Colts' win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but it could affect him in a good way.
