Eagles’ Bigsby, Shipley, and Bills’ Coleman, Shakir emerge as waiver wire targets
Summary

In anticipation of Week 5 matchups, several players have gained traction on fantasy football waiver wires. Following the injury to Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley are set to take on larger roles in the backfield. Against the Rams, Bigsby recorded 14 carries for 55 yards, while Shipley contributed with six carries for 23 yards. The Bills' WR duo of Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir showcased their potential with Coleman scoring in a lost effort against the Patriots, while Shakir tallied seven receptions for 82 yards. Both are expected to remain focal points in their offense as DJ Moore’s injury keeps him sidelined. With pivotal matchups approaching, these player additions may impact fantasy lineups significantly.
