Week 5 waiver watch centers on Adonai Mitchell, Luther Burden III, and Dontayvion Wicks. Mitchell shows elite athleticism but inconsistent hands, making him a speculative add only in deep leagues with an unsettled Colts passing attack. Burden flashed in Week 3 but hasn’t grown his role and carries injury risk, keeping him volatile. Wicks sits behind multiple Packers pass-catchers and hasn’t produced consistently, so he’s a shallow-league dart throw at best.

Mizzou’s NFL alumni show a broad spectrum across the league, from steady role players to breakout flashes. Armand Membou anchors the Jets’ offense with a 74.3 PFF grade on 180 snaps, while Luther Burden III flashed a big Week 3 line and a 74.7 grade on limited work. Several scatter for reps or deal with injuries, but the depth is rich for DFS and deeper leagues as roles evolve.

Arizona’s Darius Robinson and Cleveland’s Isaiah McGuire stand out for their respective defenses, with Robinson grabbing a sack and McGuire grading well against the run. Denver’s Tyler Badie and Green Bay’s Ty’Ron Hopper hint at longer-term upside if usage shifts occur. The mix of injuries, development, and coaching notes creates a dynamic map for fantasy managers to navigate in coming weeks.
