Is Kenneth Gainwell Worth a Waiver Bid?

Help water find its level on your roster by joining Joe Pisapia, Pat Fitzmaurice and Derek Brown for their top fantasy football Week 5 waiver wire pickups of the 2025 NFL season.

Will Houston Texans RB Woody Marks be worth the FAAB it will cost to acquire him? Is Minnesota Vikings RB Zavier Scott just a flash in the pan? Plus, could New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart be more than just a one-week streamer?

The Pros pray for rain and fantasy difference-makers along the shores of Lake Erie!
