Here is a list of fantasy football streaming options that might clear waivers and help you win your matchups this week.<\/p>\n<h2>Week 5 Fantasy Football Streaming Options<\/h2>\n<h3>RB Zavier Scott, Vikings<\/h3>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\">Vikings<\/a> fan, I didn\u2019t put much stock into Scott when he started getting playing time two weeks ago. Now, it\u2019s apparent he\u2019s going to be out there on third downs, and they\u2019re not afraid to throw the football to him. He got a touchdown last week, and he\u2019s more involved. He\u2019s worth playing if you\u2019re desperate for a running back.<\/p>\n<h3>WR Luke McCaffrey, Commanders<\/h3>\n<p>I hope you all picked up McCaffrey last week, because this week might be too late. He is going to be a target, especially if WR Terry McLaurin is out. He did score a touchdown and was open on some bigger plays. He also had a couple of catches called back due to a penalty.<\/p>\n<h3>TE Mason Taylor, Jets<\/h3>\n<p>Taylor is coming off a solid 5-catch, 65-yard performance against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_self\">Dolphins<\/a>. Their game plan should have been to use him much more, as the middle of the field was open. They have a soft matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\/\" target=\"_self\">Cowboys<\/a>, and he could score a touchdown, which would make him one of the better fantasy football streaming options of the week.<\/p>\n<h3>WR Isaiah Bond, Browns<\/h3>\n<p>I would be shocked if Bond cleared waivers, as WR Cedric Tillman is on IR. Bond had a few catches last week and shows some juice.<\/p>\n<h3>TE Theo Johnson, Giants<\/h3>\n<p>Now that WR Malik Nabers is out for the season, I expect an uptick in Johnson\u2019s production. He has a good matchup this week vs. the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/saints\/\" target=\"_self\">Saints<\/a>. I could see another touchdown.<\/p>\n<h3>D New York Giants<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_self\">Giants<\/a> have had a tough schedule thus far, but it has eased up now, and I think their front can get a few sacks this week and maybe a few turnovers against a bad Saints offense.<\/p>\n<h3>D Arizona Cardinals<\/h3>\n<p>They are playing the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_self\">Tennessee Titans<\/a>; all defenses should be considered playing them.<\/p>\n<h3>K Chase McLaughlin, Buccaneers<\/h3>\n<p>McLaughlin made 65- and 58-yarders a week ago. If I need a kicker, he is who I want. I think <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/buccaneers\/\" target=\"_self\">Tampa<\/a> can move the ball between the 20s against Seattle and will settle for field goals.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>For more great fantasy football analysis, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/10\/01\/fantasy-football-start-sit-week-5\/\" target=\"_self\">Week 5 Start\/Sit article<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are on to Week 5, and not only are we dealing with injuries, but now we\u2019re starting to deal with the bye weeks.
