Finding the perfect addition to your Fantasy team via the waiver wire can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which players you should target on the Fantasy football waiver wire this week, you absolutely need to see what SportsLine's Jody Smith has to say.
Having worked in the Fantasy industry for many years, Smith has contributed to virtually every meaningful Fantasy publication and website. FantasyPros.com named him the Most Accurate Expert for the 2012 NFL season. If there's anyone who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.
Now, he's done an in-depth analysis of the best widely available free agents entering Week 5. We can tell you he's all over Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones.
"Peyton Barber (3.4 YPC) is the nominal starter, but it seems like only a matter of time before Jones moves into that spot," Smith told SportsLine. "Jones (4.7 YPC) has been far more effective and out-rushed Barber in three of Tampa's four games. In Week 4, Jones turned 20 touches into 82 yards and a touchdown, while Barber's nine rushes resulted in only 19 yards. Jones looks much faster than Barber and once his pass protection improves enough to win Bruce Arians' confidence, Jones offers weekly RB2 upside in Tampa's potent offense."
Smith is also all-in on a shocking wide receiver with MASSIVE upside. This player is still widely available and could be a huge boost to your roster moving forward! Anyone who adds this player could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any Week 5 waiver wire claims.
