10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 5
An injury to Dalvin Cook means Latavius Murray could be in line for a larger workload. Who else should you be adding off your fantasy football waiver wire?

Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers

Yahoo Ownership: 11%

Leaving Thursday night's contest against the Bears early, Ty Montgomery opened a void in the Green Bay Packers backfield. It may be surprising who stepped in, though.

Aaron Jones, drafted a round after Jamaal Williams in the 2017 draft, performed well with his opportunity, rushing 13 times for 49 yards and a score. Williams, meanwhile, only toted the rock four times, but he did add a catch out of the backfield before exiting with a knee injury.

The pedigree for Jones is there -- he averaged 7.7 yards per carry during his senior year at UTEP, and tested very well at the combine.

The good news for TyMont owners is that the injury may not be as bad as originally feared and he could even suit up this week. So, this is a situation to keep an eye on. If Montgomery does have to sit out at all and Williams also misses some time, Jones is the back we want to own.
