Week 5 Rankings: Standard | PPR

We've had four weeks of NFL action, and by now you should know who you can trust for your Fantasy roster. Sure, there are exceptions (see Todd Gurley, DeAndre Hopkins and Rob Gronkowski, among others), but you should have a pretty good idea of the players you can count on.

The players who aren't producing, especially the ones at the end of your bench, should be sent to the waiver wire. Whether you're 4-0 or 0-4, you should be aggressive on the waiver wire and through trades to always improve your roster.

It could be looking ahead to when your quarterback is on a bye to find a replacement or speculating on the next backup running back to get a starting job (more on that below). And it's never a bad idea to pick off scraps from other teams.

For example, the teams that are struggling in your leagues,especially with shallow benches, can't afford to hold onto some injured players who still have upside. We're not talking about players like Adrian Peterson or Sammy Watkins, who have extended absences and will miss most of the Fantasy season. It's more like Zach Ertz (65 percent ownership on CBS Sports), Donte Moncrief (66 percent) and Tyler Eifert (79 percent) being available on waivers, and I try to add them whenever possible.

Ertz is a huge priority to add if he's out there for this week with his matchup at Detroit. He's the No. 1 tight end to pick up if available, and we'll mention him up here instead of the position group below.

And you can probably see owners having to make more tough decisions with four teams on a bye this week (New Orleans, Kansas City, Jacksonville and Seattle), so don't be surprised if other big names hit the waiver wire. Keep an eye on the transactions after waivers run, and you might find a nice player or two that could help your roster down the road.

Quarterbacks

Names of note on bye: Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Blake Bortles and Alex Smith

Injuries of note: Carson Palmer (concussion), Cam Newton (concussion) and Trevor Siemian (shoulder)

Priority list

* - Add these players in this order, and they are owned in 65 percent of leagues or less on CBS Sports.

Carson Wentz PHI • QB • 11 Week 3 stats at PIT CMP % 7,410.0 YDS 301 TD 2 INT 0 60 percent ownership View Profile

Wentz had a bye in Week 4, but the rookie quarterback from North Dakota State has been amazing so far in his NFL career with at least 23 Fantasy points in two of his three starts and no turnovers. He faces a Lions defense in Week 5 that is banged up defensively and already allowed all four opposing quarterbacks (Andrew Luck, Marcus Mariota, Aaron Rodgers and Brian Hoyer) to each throw multiple touchdowns with just one interception. Wentz also gets Ertz back this week, and he's a Top 10 quarterback in all leagues. He's worth at least 5 percent of your FAAB budget.

Brian Hoyer (7 percent): He has 619 yards and four touchdowns in his past two games.

Ryan Tannehill (63 percent): He could be useful in 2-QB leagues this week.

Paxton Lynch (5 percent): He could start vs. ATL in Week 5 if Siemian is out.

Drop list

* - If you need to make a move, these are players you can drop for this week.

Blake Bortles (95 percent): His best game this year was in London. Can he do that in America?

Tyrod Taylor (68 percent): Without Watkins his upside will be limited.

Running backs

Names of note on bye: Mark Ingram, Christine Michael, Jamaal Charles, Spencer Ware, Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon

Injuries of note: Dwayne Washington (ankle), Rashad Jennings (hand), Ryan Mathews (ankle) and Chris Johnson (groin)

Priority list

* - Add these players in this order, and they are owned in 65 percent of leagues or less on CBS Sports.

Terrance West NO • RB • 38 Week 4 stats vs. OAK ATT 21 YDS 113 TD 1 YPC 5.4 53 percent ownership View Profile

When news broke Sunday that West was going to start for Justin Forsett, many owners went racing to add him immediately. Those owners who don't have a waiver process were lucky, but now everyone can add him for this week. And he's worth at least 15 percent of your FAAB budget. There's a chance he goes back to working in a committee with rookie Kenneth Dixon, who is expected to be active for the first time all year after suffering a knee injury in the preseason. But we could also see West get 20-plus carries for the second week in a row, and this is a dream matchup against the Redskins. Washington has allowed the second-most Fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, and five running backs have already scored double digits in points in a standard league. West has the potential to be a Top 10 running back this week, and if he can keep the starting job all season then he could be a useful No. 2 running back in all leagues.

Drop list

* - If you need to make a move, these are players you can drop for this week.

Jonathan Stewart (90 percent): He'll miss another month and you likely need the roster spot.

Chris Ivory (87 percent): He's not worth holding during the bye, and T.J. Yeldon is better.

Thomas Rawls (83 percent): He'll miss all of October, and Christine Michael looks awesome.

Cameron Artis-Payne (75 percent): He doesn't offer much upside even with Stewart out.

Jeremy Langford (69 percent): Jordan Howard stole his job and might not give it back.

Justin Forsett (63 percent): The Ravens cut him. You should also.

Wide receivers

Names of note on bye: Allen Robinson, Doug Baldwin, Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead, Allen Hurns, Michael Thomas and Jeremy Maclin

Injuries of note: Kevin White (ankle), Dez Bryant (knee), Eric Decker (shoulder) and Jeremy Kerley (ankle)

Priority list

* - Add these players in this order, and they are owned in 65 percent of leagues or less on CBS Sports.

Steve Smith BAL • WR • 89 Week 4 stats vs. OAK TAR 11 REC 8 YDS 111 TD 1 56 percent ownership View Profile

Father Time might be undefeated, but Smith is taking this to the final round and waiting for a judge's decision. He's looking good at 37 in his comeback from last year's Achilles injury -- just ask Oakland cornerback David Amerson about Smith's stiff-arm -- after he had eight catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in Week 4. That's now consecutive games with 11 targets, eight catches and at least 87 receiving yards, and he's worth buying into in all leagues. For historical purposes, Smith is now 14th in career receptions after he moved past Randy Moss on the all-time list in Week 4. And his latest 110-yard receiving game also gave him 51 in his career, which tied Andre Johnson and Terrell Owens for fourth-most all time.

Quincy Enunwa (61 percent): Decker's season could be over with his shoulder injury. If that happens, Enunwa could be a weekly starter in three-receiver leagues.

Chris Hogan (39 percent): His time is now with Brady back. Look for him to get consistent looks as the passing game finally gets going.

Robert Woods (15 percent): He has 13 catches for 140 yards on 18 targets in two games without Watkins.

Brice Butler (2 percent): He had nine targets for five catches, 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 with Bryant out. If Bryant is out again then he's a must add in deeper leagues.

Dontrelle Inman (3 percent): He's behind Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams, but this WR corps is still in flux. He's worth a look after his big game in Week 4 vs. OAK (7-120-1 on 11 targets).

Brian Quick (1 percent): He has three touchdowns in his past two games, and this receiving corps needs playmakers in the passing game. He needs more targets (nine in his past three games).

Kenny Stills (19 percent): He's not going away even with DeVante Parker back healthy and has at least 75 receiving yards or a touchdown in three games in a row.

Rishard Matthews (8 percent): The Dolphins secondary is awful, and this could be a revenge game for him. He's a sleeper for Week 5 against his former team.

Eddie Royal (10 percent): He's scored in two of four games and would benefit if White is forced to miss extended time.

Jeremy Kerley (3 percent): He's been the best receiver for SF in two of four games, but he's only worth a look in deeper PPR leagues.

Terrance Williams (23 percent): His touchdown in Week 4 at SF was great, but Butler is the better pickup while Bryant is out. He had four catches for 41 yards and the score on six targets at SF.

Drop list

* - If you need to make a move, these are players you can drop for this week.

Golden Tate (90 percent): He was benched in Week 4 and is falling out of favor with Matthew Stafford.

Allen Hurns (87 percent): He's good when Julius Thomas is out, but there's no reason to stash him on bye.

Tyler Lockett (77 percent): He's playing through a knee injury but not a factor when Jimmy Graham is healthy.

Sammy Watkins (72 percent): There's no reason to stash him when he's on injured reserve.

Tavon Austin (70 percent): Quick and Kenny Britt are the better Rams receivers right now and likely all year.

Josh Gordon (61 percent): His career might be over. There's no reason to stash him, even in dynasty leagues.

Tight ends

Names of note on bye: Julius Thomas, Travis Kelce, Coby Fleener and Jimmy Graham

Injuries of note: Larry Donnell (concussion) and Jared Cook (ankle)

Priority list

* - Add these players in this order, and they are owned in 65 percent of leagues or less on CBS Sports.

Hunter Henry LAC • TE • 86 Week 4 stats vs. NO TAR 7 REC 4 YDS 61 TD 1 57 percent ownership View Profile

Henry is a priority add this week, but he would be the second choice if Ertz is still out there. Ideally, the Chargers would let Antonio Gates (hamstring) sit for a long time to make sure he's 100 percent healthy before returning, which would also to allow Henry to flourish. He's done a nice job so far in two games with Gates out with nine catches for 113 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets against the Colts and Saints, and he bounced back from a bad fumble at Indianapolis and played well in Week 4. We expect Henry to remain a factor even when Gates is back, but he's likely out in Week 5, which gives Henry the chance to start for your Fantasy team at Oakland. He's an excellent streaming option with Fleener, Kelce and Graham on bye.

Cameron Brate (25 percent): He has 18 targets for 10 catches, 113 yards and two touchdowns in his past two games. And he gets a favorable matchup this week at CAR.

Zach Miller (65 percent): He has three touchdowns in the past two games with Hoyer to go with 11 catches and 109 yards. He'll also benefit if White is out.

Jesse James (35 percent): The Jets have allowed 12 catches for 202 yards and a touchdown to Kelce and Graham in the past two weeks. James is a sleeper in Week 5.

Garrett Celek (1 percent): With Vance McDonald (hip) out in Week 4, Celek had five catches for 79 yards on five targets.

Ryan Griffin (1 percent): He's got 11 catches for 106 yards on 15 targets in his past two games. That's better than Hopkins over that same span.

Lance Kendricks (1 percent): He has two games in his past three with at least seven targets, four catches and 50 yards. That's better than Gronkowski.

Drop list

* - If you need to make a move, these are players you can drop for this week.

Julius Thomas (80 percent): He's hurt and on a bye. It's time to say bye-bye for now.

Antonio Gates (67 percent): He's hurt and might have lost his job to Henry. At best, it's a time-share.

Dwayne Allen (61 percent): He hasn't scored since Week 1, and Jack Doyle is more of a factor than originally anticipated.

* - If you need a DST for this week, these teams have favorable matchups are worth starting.

Eagles (58 percent) at DET

Rams (59 percent) vs. BUF

Packers (50 percent) vs. NYG
