Each week, I'm tasked with picking the for fans. That article is a more cursory glance at the waiver wire, helping the countle s fantasy players in more casual leagues on NFL.com Corey Levin Jersey figure out who is worth adding to their roster.However, for those of you degenerates ... err I mean "die-hards," in more intense leagues, my weekly "Deep Dive" column is the one for you. As the season progre ses, this is where I'll highlight the players you want to be a week early on, as opposed to trying to get in on the waiver-wire bidding war post-breakout. Many of these players will hopefully graduate to the main waiver wire column, and if you're smart they'll already be on your roster. Of course, I can't promise anything. is far from a guaranteed game, as we all know all too well. Any way, enough blathering. On to the "Deep Dive" waiver wire targets for Week 5.Running backs, (1.5 percent owned)Last night in a good matchup against the , the combination of and combined for 21 carries and 57 yards (2.7 ypc average). The team could be without the services of for awhile as well, as he suffered what looked like a pretty serious non-contact injury to his knee. All of this could pave the way for perennial offseason darling to see more work in the backfield. Michael was a second-round pick in 2013, but almost never saw the field behind , leading the team to trade him earlier this year. Michael is a gifted runner, who could shine given the chance behind the Dallas offensive line. He was buried on the depth chart for the first few weeks, but was finally active last night (one carry, -1 yards). If he starts seeing more carries, there's a chance he could end up being one of the waiver-wire adds of the year., (0.8 percent owned)Coming off of the ' bye week, many have probably already forgotten about Andrews. But back in Week 3, he was the most productive and frequently used back in the Tenne see committee. Andrews played the second most snaps (23), but saw a target or touch on 61 percent of his offensive plays, compared to just 38 percent for and 20 percent for . With no true lead candidate of the bunch, Andrews is worth an add for teams in need of a running back. Next up for the is a date with the , who have been up-and-down against the run thus far in 2015./, (1.0/0.3 percent owned)With the struggle bus plodding along still (20 carries, 22 yards), the team needs to find more answers in the backfield. My hope is that they just turn loose, as he's the most talented player of the bunch. However, with Bell potentially dealing with more injuries, that could open the door for a bigger workload for and . Riddick's role as the pa s-catching back (15 receptions, 144 yards, one TD already in 2015) is pretty set, as the team uses him in hurry-up and two-minute situations. Zenner on the other hand, has barely seen the field, but could come in as the thunder to Abdullah's lightning if Bell continues to be slow ... I mean, slowed down by injuries. Both have yet to play in Week 4, and will be playing in front of the national audience on Monday Night Football. Hopefully, the keep both under wraps this week so you can add them for free off of the waiver wire before Week 5., (0.3 percent owned)Helu was inactive in Week 1, and then only saw 11 offensive snaps the next two weeks. The finally featured him more in Week 4 (22 percent of the offensive plays), and gave him seven touches. Helu turned one of those touches -- a short pa s in the red zone -- into a touchdown. Most fantasy owners will remember Helu from his vulturing role from back in Washington, when he routinely sniped touchdowns away from . Here's the hard truth some need to come to grips with, though: Helu is just a good player. The proof is in the pudding ... err, game tape. He offers the a nice option out of the backfield, as he's a gifted, elusive runner. Helu should definitely be rostered in PPR formats, but could potentially build himself a -type of workload here in Oakland. Give Helu a look on waivers this week. , (0.2 percent owned) and are the 1a and 1b for the offense, but that ranking isn't set in stone. Both backs have been inconsistent so far this year, and if neither is able to provide a spark for the offense, could hear his number called again. He's a bruising runner, whose value right now is likely just as a goal-line vulture. Still, he's worth a speculative add in deeper leagues on the off chance he is able to command a bigger part of the backfield pie in Denver.Ahmad Bradshaw, free agent (0.3 percent owned)I mentioned Bradshaw in this space a few weeks back, but he's finally set to meet with the this week, . Bradshaw was a fantasy stud with the last season before injuries stole the rest of his season away. He's worth a look in deeper leagues, even before he (potentially) signs with the team. has gotten back on track lately, but the team needs depth behind him. If Bradshaw joins the team Ali Gaye Jersey , he and Gore would likely both see a healthy amount of work in the backfield.Wide receivers, (0.1 percent owned)Diggs, a fifth-round pick out of Maryland, has been earning high praise from the staff for much of the offseason. On Sunday, we learned why. With inactive battling a rib injury, Diggs saw much more play time against the tough defense, and performed extremely well. He caught six pa ses on 10 targets, showing strong hands and a knack for running tight routes. Just watch him for an example. Even if Johnson comes back soon, it might be hard for the to put the genie back in the bottle after Diggs looked so impre sive. , (0.0 percent owned)Inman was an undrafted free agent in 2011, who bounced up to the CFL before finding his way onto the ' roster in 2014, seeing limited work in the regular season (12 rec, 158 yards). Inman was forced into duty again on Sunday when injuries sidelined and , and he responded with three catches for 88 yards on five targets. Inman merits a speculative add, as the injuries to Johnson ( Treylon Burks Jersey hamstring) and Floyd (concu sion) could keep them out for some time if they're serious. The offense faces the and their porous secondary next week, which would make Inman an intriguing play if Johnson/Floyd are forced to sit out. /, (0.0/0.2 percent owned)Being a pa s-catcher this year has been about as tenuous of a job as . With on IR, out indefinitely, and suffering broken ribs last Thursday, the will need someone to step up. That could either be Waller (a sixth-round rookie) or Givens (a recent trade acquisition). Waller is a 6-foot-6, raw athlete who needs to develop all of the nuance of being a profe sional receiver. Case in point, he'd played all of two offensive snaps before injuries forced him into action against the , where he played 15 more snaps and hauled in one pa s for 17 yards. In four seasons with the , Givens never really developed much beyond a deep threat, which could suit the well as they've been unable to stretch the field with Perriman injured all year. We have no idea what sort of snaps/targets either of these wideouts will receive in the coming weeks, but they're worth a look in deeper leagues. Someone has to catch pa ses in Baltimore, right? , (2.9 percent owned)With healthy again, Royal saw 10 targets on Sunday, bringing in seven of them for 54 yards and a touchdown. He has a surprisingly low ownership percentage after so many fantasy players jumped ship with him and Cutler suffering early-season injuries. Cutler and Royal had a connection together in Denver, and we could finally see that relationship blo som once again. With the generous secondary next up on the schedule, and potentially returning as well, Royal will have some deeper league appeal as a WR3 or flex option in Week 5. Grab him if you need help at wide receiver or play in a PPR league., (0.1 percent owned)The have been searching for an answer at wide receiver after Jr. with still on the shelf battling injury. Harris might be that answer. While garnered six targets, so too did Harris -- and the fifth-year man out of East Carolina did more with his. Harris will likely have an unpredictable, and potentially low, ceiling in the coming weeks, but with Cruz's injury probably taking weeks to heal, Harris could find a nice niche in this offense if he proves more consistent than Randle., (0.2 percent owned)The don't seem to be in any rush to put back on the field until his ankle is fully healed, which means Montgomery will remain the third wide receiver in the ' high-octane offense for the foreseeable future. Montgomery didn't see a ton of work in Week 4 as the offense was held "in check" by the , but the team is high on the youngster and he's showed a knack for understanding the offense, as well as some nice after-the-catch ability. Having one of ' targets is never a bad thing, which is why Montgomery is absolutely worth an add in deeper leagues. He also played the most snaps of any wide receiver in Week 4., (0.1 percent owned)Don't look now, but the leading receiver on the isn't , or even . It's , who's quietly racked up 240 yards through four games, thanks to never posting fewer than 44 in a game this season. He's received 19 targets the last three weeks, and caught all six of his looks on Sunday for 89 yards. Snead has surpa sed both Colston and offseason sleeper in this offense, and that won't change as long as Snead keeps producing. He's definitely worth a roster spot as this offense could be turning the corner with back under center and finally looking healthy., (0.2 percent owned)Smith has received 15 targets over the past two weeks, but only managed to turn them into 5 catches for 63 yards. The pa sing attack struggled in Week 4, but when they get back to action in Week 6 after their bye, and Smith will both be even healthier. It's tough to a sume that there will be enough volume for , Decker and Smith to all eat in the same offense, but Smith provides a deep threat that the veterans lack. He'll be a boom or bust candidate moving forward until he shows signs of being a more consistent contributor., (0.3 percent owned)Roberts was a toe away from scoring a touchdown in three straight weeks. He only received one other target aside from his near touchdown, though, as his role in Jaylen Harrell Jersey the offense is far from regular. However, suffered a leg injury in Week 4, but did his best to play through it. If he is forced to mi s any time later, or his role diminishes as a result of the injury, Roberts could see his share of the targets increase. He's worth monitoring in deeper leagues, or potentially stashing just in case.Tight ends, (5.0 percent owned)The Barn Yard Dog did well last week for fantasy owners in a spot start against the , who have been lost trying to cover tight ends in 2015. However, he posted another solid stat line this week against the , and now merits our attention as more than just a one-week streaming option. Barnidge's 16 targets over the last two weeks rank behind only (20) and (17) on the , but Barndige leads the team with 180 yards and two touchdowns over that span. It's clear that has eyes for Barnidge, so the time is now to make a move for him on the waiver wire. A matchup against the ' secondary looms, and if Barnidge gets it done three weeks in a row he'll be a lot harder to claim off of waivers., (0.0 percent owned)Poor . He is such a talented player, but just cannot stay healthy. Reed suffered a concu sion on Sunday, which has been an i sue for him since college. Washington has been decimated by injuries at the tight end position, which led for them to trade for Carrier earlier this year. Carrier is solid athlete, who was buried behind on the depth chart earlier in his career. If Reed is forced to mi s any time, Carrier will be on the fantasy radar, as has been targeting Reed a ton this year. Carrier won't likely inherit all of Reed's targets, but even a sizeable chunk of that volume would make him worth a start in the right matchups., (7.5 percent owned)Rodgers' value in fantasy is entirely touchdown-dependent, but has targeted his big tight end three times in the red zone so far, leading to two touchdowns (including one on Sunday). As is the case above with Montgomery, having a target of on your team is never a bad thing. The face the next week, who have been middle-of-the-pack when it comes to defending tight ends., (0.5 percent owned)Green didn't even see a target in Week 4, but he and take on the in Week 5, who thus far have allowed 388 receiving yards and six touchdowns to opposing tight ends. You could convince yourself into streaming Green in deeper leagues, especially given the tight ends who are on a bye this week (, , ). Just remember he is clearly behind in the target pecking order.Quarterbacks, (3.5 percent owned)Bortles hasn't exactly set the fantasy world on fire in his sophomore season, but he has averaged just over 19 fantasy points per game over the last three weeks. The UCF product represents a nice streaming or bye-week fill-in option for Week 5, as he will head into a plus-matchup against the . Tampa has only allowed 15.91 fantasy points to opposing signal-callers so far this year, but that number is depre sed thanks to games against the and an injured . Bortles should be able to put together a solid stat line with his talented young wide receiving Arden Key Jersey duo of and ., (0.4 percent owned)I'd normally never advise rostering, let alone starting a quarterback, but Hoyer performed well enough against the prevent-ish defense on Sunday that my gue s is that he'll win back the starting gig in Houston ... for now . However, head coach Bill O'Brien announced on Monday that Mallett will remain the starter for Week 5. For deeper two-QB leagues, Hoyer could be on your radar this week, in case he wins the job back from Mallett ... again.
