Week 5 Waiver Wire: Breakout Pickups, Targets and Tips for Fantasy Football | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Week 4 stats: 7 rec, 76 rec yds, 2 rec TDs, 26.60 pts

Michael Wilson couldn't be a deeper sleeper you could claim off waivers this week—he's rostered in just 1 percent of leagues. He also has some of the highest upside of any player heading into Week 5.

The rookie had his first NFL touchdown in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers...and then his second. The 12 points he helped put on the board gave the Cardinals a fighting chance against the division rival 49ers, who ultimately won 35-16.

Wilson had flashed some potential already this season on limited targets. Though he was targeted just two times in Week 3, he brought in both receptions for 86 yards and put up 10.6 points.

The rookie's performance this week, however, finally gives fantasy managers the green light to go ahead and submit a claim for him. He once again went 100 percent on his targets, with seven this time, and showed a nose for the end zone. Assuming the 1-3 Cardinals are going to be playing from behind often for the rest of the season, Wilson should get plenty of opportunities.
