Week 5 Waiver Wire Elevates Zach Charbonnet, Keon Coleman Among Top 15 Targets

Summary
Zach Charbonnet tops the Week 5 waiver list after Seattle designated him to return and Jadarian Price went to injured reserve, setting up a potential RB1 role in a productive offense.
Keon Coleman ranks No. 3 overall after a 6-catch, 116-yard, 1-touchdown Week 4, with his value rising further if DJ Moore misses time with a shoulder issue.
Kirk Cousins sits No. 2 after three straight 20-point fantasy games, while C.J. Stroud and Jacoby Brissett headline the next tier of quarterback streaming options.
Austin Ekeler, Tyler Allgeier and Mike Gesicki also gained waiver appeal from shifting usage and injuries, with Gesicki benefiting from Cincinnati's banged-up receiver group.
The list uses a sub-60% ESPN rostered cutoff and points managers toward Bears and Bengals D/ST as Week 5 adds, extending the focus beyond one-week skill-position pickups.
