Fantasy football waiver wire, Week 5
40 players being added across Sleeper leagues this week, with the bid on each. 2026.
Updated Oct 7, 2026 at 9:24 PM ET
Keon Coleman is the Week 5 claim: added in 4,059,378 Sleeper leagues in a day, undrafted in most leagues. Dohnte Meyers is next at 3,182,373.
Every player here was added in a spike across Sleeper leagues since the Sunday night games that opened this waiver cycle. The adds figure is the busiest 24 hours any scan saw in that cycle, the ADP rank is where drafters took him, and the bid is the share of a season budget our FAAB model puts on him this week. Under each name is the work he got in his last game, from the snap, target and carry counts, and his Week 5 opponent.
A player the draft board does not rank gets a claim without a number. We would rather print nothing than a bid we made up.
