Fantasy Football: Jaxson Dart, Malik Washington among top sleeper candidates off the waiver wire for Week 5

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

The Week 4 sleeper page was mostly a dud, with Geno Smith continuing to throw picks and Darnell Mooney getting hurt in the first half. Tyquan Thornton did score another touchdown, but he was otherwise ignored in Kansas City’s win. Elic Ayomanor is probably Tennessee’s top receiver at the moment, but despite drawing seven targets, he posted a modest 2-44-0 line.

Better days are ahead. Let’s get to Week 5.

Kendre Miller, RB, Saints vs. Giants (28% rostered)

Obviously Alvin Kamara is the starter for the Saints, but Miller continues to see increased work, collecting 20 touches the past two games and scoring on a nifty touchdown run at Buffalo. The New York defense has been giving to opposing running backs, allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to the position. Miller is also an appealing stash-and-hold candidate, as it’s possible the rebuilding (and winless) Saints might want to shop Kamara over the next few weeks. Now that bye-week season has arrived, players like Miller often make sense as flex options.

Zavier Scott, RB, Vikings at Cleveland (3%)

Obviously Jordan Mason holds the No. 1 chair in the Minnesota backfield while Aaron Jones Sr. recovers, but Scott popped in the passing game last week, posting a useful 6-43-1 line. Scott was a receiver at UConn, so it makes sense for Minnesota to utilize him in this hybrid role. Cleveland’s run defense is nasty, which suggests the Vikings will look for creative ways to matriculate the ball downfield. Scott might be able to replicate last week’s production.

Note: This game has an early 9:30 a.m. ET start time in London.

Tommy Tremble, TE, Panthers vs. Dolphins (1%)

The Tremble recommendation is contingent on Ja’Tavion Sanders’s status. Last week Sanders couldn’t play at New England, freeing up Tremble to collect eight targets and post a 5-42-1 line, good enough for a TE7 finish. The Panthers don’t currently have a reliable No. 2 receiver behind classy rookie Tetairoa McMillan, so Tremble’s target share could be sticky for another week. Miami has been the second-worst defense covering the tight end in 2025.

Michael Carter, RB, Cardinals vs. Titans (22%)

It’s a leap of faith to start Carter, who has just one touch on the season, but the Cardinals are desperate — James Conner is done for the season and Trey Benson landed on IR this week. Carter hinted that he might be in line for the start against Tennessee, and his rookie year with the Jets in 2021 had some RB3/flex value (RB30 in standard leagues). Emari Demercado is also an option for the Cardinals, and he’d be in this column if not for a roster tag over 50%. But I suspect Arizona will find a moderate workload for both backs. It’s also nice to bankroll a favored team at home; Arizona is a 7.5-point choice over the struggling Titans.

Jaxson Dart, QB, Giants at Saints (34%)

He’s obviously a work in progress as a passer (111 yards, 5.6 YPA in his debut), but Dart’s athleticism could lift him to fantasy relevance again. Dart ran 10 times for 54 yards and a touchdown in the upset win over the Chargers, and the defensive resistance should be less at New Orleans. The Konami Code is alive and well.

Isaiah Bond, WR, Browns vs. Vikings (5%)

Bond’s role continues to increase in Cleveland, especially with teammate Cedric Tillman (hamstring) shifting to IR. Bond has run a lot of second-team reps with QB Dillon Gabriel, and now they’re both starting. Bond posted a useful 3-58-0 line last week on six targets, and I suspect the opportunity will bump in Week 5.

Note: This game has an early 9:30 a.m. ET start time in London.

Malik Washington, WR, Dolphins at Panthers (22%)

He participated on about half of the snaps in the Monday win over the Jets, and that number should rise now that Tyreek Hill is out for the season. Washington’s receiving numbers haven’t popped yet, but the Dolphins love to scheme creative ways for him to get the football — he’s run the ball eight times for 60 yards. Savvy fantasy managers have identified TE Darren Waller as a potential beneficiary from the Hill injury, but don’t overlook what’s possible with Washington.
