Top 12 Waiver Adds for Week 5
Larry Donnell and Jerick McKinnon top our Week 5 Waiver Pickups. Who else makes the vaunted list of lists?

Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Minnesota Vikings

We like Teddy Football slightly over Blake Bortles, but the difference is mostly based on the cast around him; Cordarrelle Patterson is the best receiver either of the two options have by a very significant amount, even if he was a complete no-show in Week 4.

This is not to suggest, however, that Bridgewater is anything other than a quarterback stream or perhaps a keeper-minded pickup - he's way too raw and unsettled in the pocket to be considered a viable QB1 option. There's enough evidence of his ability to gain rushing yards and find open receivers that, perhaps given the right matchup and the right lapse in defense, he can be a valuable asset.

He absolutely showed it in Week 4 against the Faclons - let's see what he can do against a real defense.
