One of the most important things you can do in order to win your Fantasy Football league is stay on top of your waiver wire. Finding that gem player that no one else knows about can make the difference each and every week.

Here are five players you should consider signing for Week 5

1. Jordan Howard

If you’ve got running back issues, it may be time to give Jordan Howard a look. The Chicago Bears rookie running back had a fantastic game last week against the Detroit Lions with 111 yards on the ground. Odds are, he’s available in your league considering Howard isn’t a superstar player who was drafted by many. Want more good news? Howard and the Bears play the Indianapolis Colts this week.

2. Justin Forsett

In a surprising move, the Baltimore Ravens decided to cut Justin Forsett. It’s highly unlikely he’ll play this upcoming week, but Forsett may get signed sooner rather than later. If you want to be a risk taker and be ahead of the game, take a chance on Forsett. It may pay off.

3. Terrelle Pryor

The Cleveland Browns don’t have much to look forward to, but Terrelle Pryor can get you some much needed fantasy points. Pryor is a multitalented player who had an outstanding game against the Miami Dolphins not long ago with more than 150 total yards. Considering the Browns current status at quarterback, you never know when Pryor might actually get the start under center.

4. Carson Wentz

It comes as a shock to some, but Carson Wentz is only owned by about a third of Fantasy Football owners. Wentz is playing fantastic for the Philadelphia Eagles so far this season, especially given the fact that he is a rookie. Wentz has yet to throw a single interception, and you can tell his wide receivers and tight ends are gelling in with his playing style. This could be a steal for Week 5.

5. Cole Beasley

With Dez Bryant still questionable to play with a foot injury and Terence Newman not beating 1-on-1 coverages, it’s time to add Cole Beasley to your lineup. Dak Prescott is a big believer in Beasley thanks to his underneath throws. Beasley leads the Cowboys in catches, receiving yards, targets and catches per game. The Cincinnati Bengals can’t stop every dink and dunk catch from Beasley.
