First remember that Week 5 starts the bye week debacle. So who is out this week?
BAL, CLE, DAL, MIA, STL and WAS all get a week off to watch the competition. And in DAL and MIA's case to heal.
OUT in Week 5
QB: Flacco, McCoy, Romo, Henne/Matt Moore?, Sam Bradford and Rex Grossman (who almost looked like bad rex this week-is Halloween that close?)
RB: Ray Rice, Peyton Hillis, Felix Jones, the MIA RB dejour, Steven Jackson (just as he gets healthy) and the new Redskin RB Ryan Torrain
WR: A Boldin, T Smith (not so hot in Week 4 but they tried to get him the touches), no CLE WRs worth caring about, M Austin (should be back Wk 6), Dez Bryant and L Robinson (remember him from STL), Brandon Marshall, any STL WR?, Santana Moss
TE: Ed Dickson, Jason Witten, Fred Davis
Who is good to pick up to start for this week? Leaving the obvious startes off this is a list of some who may be on the waiver wire and added as a stop gap measure.
QB: Donovan McNabb has a decent matchup vs AZ if you can stomach that he might be pulled, Alex Smith, Kyle Orton and Curtis Painter too
RB: Isaac Redman (PIT), Darren Sproles (may be back on WW), Ryan Torrain WAS (even though he is on a bye), Steven Ridley (NE), LT, Earnest Graham
WR: Jacoby Jones/Kevin Walter should see more balls with Andre Johnson out (possibly 3 weeks), Percy Harvin if available, Antonio Brown if Charlie Batch plays for Ben, Michael Crabtree, Steve Breaston and DHB are all better plays this week and should be on the WW
TE: Todd Heap (KC), and Visanthe Shiancoe
K: Ryan Longwell (yes Vikes come on in Week 5), Olindo Mare (CAR)
DEF: KC, CIN and IND
Who is good to pick up for long term
QB: Jason Campbell is still out there in some leagues, Matt Moore MIA if desperate for a week 6 possible starter,
RB: Ryan Torrain WAS, Isaac Redman (if available-doubt it), Tashard Choice, Keiland Williams GL vulture,
WR: Jacoby Jones/Kevin Walter should see more balls with Andre Johnson out (possibly 3 weeks), Steve Breaston, Laurent Robinson but may be sqeezed out when Miles Austin returns in week 6, Donnie Avery sleeper
TE: Ben Watson (CLE), Heath Miller (PIT), James Casey (HOU) (may be in RB section since he is a FB too)
Droppables: Andre Roberts WR AZ, Chris Cooley TE WAS, Derrick Ward RB HOU, Chester Taylor RB AZ, LeRon McClain RB KC, Mike Williams WR SEA,
