10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 5
Blake Bortles might be tough to rely on every week, but he's in a money spot against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5.

T.J. Yeldon's fantasy value continues to be contingent on Leonard Fournette's health, but Fournette has yet to play a full game this year due to a recurring hamstring injury, and he was forced to leave Sunday's game against the New York Jets after suffering a setback.

Yeldon promptly took advantage with his best game of the month, churning out 18 rushes for 52 yards and a score, along with 3 catches for 48 yards and another touchdown. Yeldon is now averaging a solid 12.3 carries and 5.5 targets a game, and while it's too early to say whether or not Fournette will play in Week 5, this hamstring issue doesn't sound like it's going away any time soon, potentially giving Yeldon some long-term value.

Should Yeldon draw the start against Kansas City, like Bortles, he'll benefit from a potential offensive shootout. Even if the Jaguars were to fall behind, Yeldon's passing game usage ensures that his volume would remain intact.
