Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Week 5: Top options to consider at each position in standard and deeper leagues

Rangers pitcher Martin Perez took a perfect game into the seventh inning against the Astros on Thursday, ultimately surrendering one run on a pair of hits in seven innings of work. It was the second straight excellent outing from Perez, who hasn't had an ERA below 4.50 over a full season since 2016. Rostered in just 4% of Fantasy baseball leagues, is Perez someone you should prioritize on the waiver wire? He does make for an intriguing option, but only in a particular type of format.

Before you determine which players you should target on the Fantasy baseball waiver wire ahead of Week 4, you NEED to see what R.J. White has to say.

If you're a regular subscriber to SportsLine, you probably know White from dominating NFL picks for years, but did you know he actually got his start in sports media as a fantasy baseball analyst? He even finished No. 1 among all experts for his draft rankings the first year FantasyPros tracked MLB expert accuracy on their site. White has continued to excel at season-long and dynasty Fantasy baseball formats, and this year he's sharing his Fantasy baseball expertise with SportsLine subscribers.

Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents ahead of Week 5. One player to target on the Week 5 waiver wire: Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm. "We highlighted Bohm and his hot bat last week when he was still less than 50 percent rostered, and the clock is ticking to add him," White says.

White is also all-in on a barely rostered reliever with MASSIVE upside! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any Week 5 waiver wire claims.

So which starting pitchers are worth scooping off the waiver wires in all leagues? And which widely-available players at each position are options to consider in deeper leagues? ...
