During the fifth week of the 2009 fantasy football season, a few players emerged as possible waiver wire gems. Here are the players to pick up off of your fantasy league’s waiver wire if they are available.
QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks

Heading into the 2009 fantasy football season, no one knew what to expect from the New England Patriots running backs. We didn’t know who would start, who would get touches and if any of them were worth a fantasy roster spot.

That said, the injury looked painful and could keep him out for a while. Kerry Collins is the Titans’ backup QB.

Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
Right when the Kurt Warner Era looked like it was going to take off in Arizona, Warner was grounded by an elbow injury. Tim Rattay entered the game for Warner and he would probably continue to start if Warner is …read more
