With injuries mounting and bye weeks robbing fantasy football rosters, you probably could use a Week 5 fantasy football sleeper. Don’t tire yourself searching high and low for your fantasy sleeper. Instead, simply pick up one of these sleepers:
QB Seneca Wallace, Seattle Seahawks
If Matt Hasselbeck misses another week due to injury, don’t be afraid to start Seneca Wallace. He’s at home going up against a struggling Jaguars defense. Wallace should be good enough to help your fantasy team win.
RB Mewelde Moore, Pittsburgh Steelers
It sounds like Willie Parker will miss another week due to turf toe. If that’s the case, Mewelde Moore should see enough touches to be a filler fantasy running back. Rashard Mendenhall will get the start but Moore will definitely be part of the attack against the Lions.
WR Sidney Rice, Minnesota Vikings
Brett Favre is starting to look deep and not simply rely on the short pass. That is great news for Sidney Rice. Going against the Rams, Rice has a chance to break a few long playofs.
TE Bo Scaife, Tennessee Titans
Bo Scaife is healthy once again and he should be a solid play in Week 5 of the fantasy football season. The Titans will likely get into a shootout with the Colts and Kerry Collins should target Scaife plenty.
