Here are my top three waiver wire pick ups for Week 5 fantasy football leagues at FandayGames.com - I spent a lot of time researching and studying these players and I am confident they will perform very well. I'll try to post these articles for every week during the 2012 NFL Football season... Hope you enjoy my Week 5 picks!!#1. Brian Hartline, Wide Receiver, Miami DolphinsWho would have guessed that Brian Hartline would have put up the best performance of Week 4 against a stout Cardinals defense? That is what happened, as Hartline rode an 80-yard touchdown to a 12-catch, 253-yard performance. Two weeks prior to that game, he put up an impressive nine-catch, 111-yard day. Though that first game came against the woeful Oakland Raiders secondary, at this point, it is safe to call Hartline the real deal. He is leading the league with 455 receiving yards, almost unfathomable with Ryan Tannehill at the quarterback position for the Miami Dolphins. He is also just one of 11 guys with at least 25 receptions this year. Do what you can to scoop him up, especially in PPRs, and start him next week against the Bengals. #2. James Jones, Wide Receiver, Green Bay PackersGreg Jennings suffered his second groin pull in four weeks in Sunday's game, allowing Jones to step up and catch two TDs against the Saints. Jennings is unlikely to play Sunday and could miss or be limited in another couple games after that. That means Jones has significant value in the immediate future. He should make a big fantasy impact at the very least this week against the Colts. #3. Brandon Bolden, Running Back, New England PatriotsBrandon Bolden will likely be the hottest commodity on the wire this week as a guy who was unowned in most leagues heading into Week 4 who exploded for 137 yards on 16 carries while scoring a rushing TD and also adding an 11-yard reception. Stevan Ridley also looked good against the Bills and is likely to remain the feature back, but the undrafted Bolden has seemingly leaped ahead of Shane Vereen and Danny Woodhead on the depth chart, meaning there is some value to be had. Just don't go breaking the bank on your waiver bid in standard-sized leagues.
