Fantasy waiver wire pickups: Week 5
Nov 07, 2022, 04:30 PM
Pete and Nick are joined by "Waiver Wire" James Harding to identify the best pickups for the fifth week of the fantasy season. The guys debate the fantasy staying power of bounce-back veterans Jamie Benn of the Stars and Jeff Skinner of the Sabres, Miles Wood vs. John Marino as players to add from the surging Devils, Kirby Dach's breakout production on the Canadiens' top line and whether Martin Jones of the Kraken and/or Scott Wedgewood of the Stars are worth a look as goalie injury replacements. Other players covered include Cam Talbot's return from injury and impact on the Senators, whether to sell high on Brandon Montour of the Panthers before Aaron Ekblad's return, Andrei Kuzmenko, Nick Paul and Brandon Hagel with top-six exposure for the Lightning and more.
