Week 5 IDP Waiver Wire: Pickups & Targets
There were a number of injuries around the league in Week 4, but not many that are likely to significantly impact the IDP landscape heading into Week 5. I'm even circling back on a few names I've previously noted in this column because they're still not rostered in enough leagues. I want you to know I'm serious, ok?
We're also looking at the first set of byes this week, which makes waiver wire strategy all the more important.
Don't be afraid to turn over some of the players at the bottom of your roster if someone with more appealing usage or alignment is available to scoop up. I always recommend being proactive on the waiver wire at the beginning of the season, and we're still well within that window.
My intention here is to cater to a wide variety of leagues every week. IDP leagues are like snowflakes, so if you have specific questions, jump into our subscriber Discord, find the IDP channel, and tag me with any questions you have.
Some of you play in leagues where all of these players are already owned, and some of you play in IDP leagues where only 3-4 players are rostered on each team, so the players listed below might not even be on your radar, so don't be afraid to reach out with specific questions. For now, expect at least one recommendation for shallow, medium, and deep leagues.

Week 5 IDP Waiver Wire
Defensive Line
Dallas Turner - Minnesota Vikings
I'll be interested to see what the workload looks like for Dallas Turner once Andrew Van Ginkel returns to the lineup, but for now, Turner deserves our attention. Last year's first-round pick has struggled to find his footing, mostly buried behind Jonathan Greenard and Van Ginkel on the depth chart, but Turner played every snap in Week 4's contest against the Steelers. That's the second time in four weeks that Turner has topped 90% of the snaps, and although he hasn't wowed us yet from a production standpoint, I want to bet on the intersection of talent and opportunity.
