Fantasy football championships are won on the waiver wire. Niner Noise looks at the top five best players you should add to your team heading into Week 5.

For those San Francisco 49ers fans who are too depressed about quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo‘s injury to want to watch football, fantasy football is just one of their two reasons to keep on watching the sport.

A personal “case in point” right here.

If you’re also suffering these terrible losses where less than a point determines your fate, however, don’t fret. It is a long season, and the championship is won on the waiver wire.

Here are five players who should be available (all players listed are owned in less than 50 percent of Yahoo! fantasy football leagues) that you should pick up this week heading into Week 5.
