Four weeks of NFL action are in the books, which means it\u2019s time for owners everywhere to scour the waiver wire for the best Week 5 running back pickups. Looking around the league shows that players like Damien Williams and Samaje Perine have the best chance of positive production in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Week 5 Wide Receiver Waiver Pickups<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Chicago Bears<\/a> running back David Montgomery suffered a nasty knee injury<\/a> during Sunday\u2019s matchup against the Detroit Lions<\/a>. While we do not yet know the severity of the injury, it didn’t look good in real-time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This injury opens the door for Damien Williams to be a fantasy football star until Montgomery returns to the lineup. The journeyman running back played well in relief of Montgomery, and his previous stop in Kansas City proved that he is talented enough to handle a starting role in the NFL. With no other proven competition on the roster, Williams should have one of the highest market shares in the league as long as Montgomery is sidelined.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Damien Williams would not be denied. \ud83d\ude24#DETvsCHI<\/a> | #DaBears<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/hq4nehANA4<\/a><\/p>\n — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) October 3, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDamien Williams, Samaje Perine Highlight Fantasy Football Week 5 Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups<\/strong><\/h2>\n
