    Before you determine which players you should target on the Fantasy football waiver wire ahead of Week 5, you NEED to see what Jacob Gibbs has to say.

    Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation's most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years -- posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past three seasons, according to Fantasy Pros.

    Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents following Week 4. One player to target on the Week 5 waiver wire: Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin. The undrafted free agent was a star at Division II Notre Dame College and then transferred to Youngstown State where he set an NCAA record for rushing yards with 8,166. 

    He made the 53-man roster coming out of training camp and looked dynamic in a come-from behind win over the Bears on Sunday, rushing seven times for 72 yards and a touchdown while also catching three passes for 32 yards and a score. With Javonte Williams (hip) possibly missing some time, McLaughlin will be highly sought and is available in 97% of CBS Sports Fantasy football leagues. 

    "About 20% is the approximate amount I'll set McLaughlin's FAAB value at. He's college football's all-time leading rusher with 8,166 career yards and the Broncos loved what they saw from him this summer. McLaughlin has looked electric with his NFL opportunities thus far," Gibbs said.

    Gibbs is also all-in on a receiver who "should have every opportunity to shine!" 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.
