Week 5 Waiver RBs to Stash: Black, Washington, Johnson

This Week 5 waiver-wire article examines running backs Kaelon Black, Mike Washington Jr., and Emmett Johnson. It discusses the fantasy approach of adding high-upside backup running backs who play in strong offenses. Each player is presented as a potential lottery-ticket addition.

This Week 5 waiver-wire piece focuses on three running backs: Kaelon Black, Mike Washington Jr., and Emmett Johnson. The available material offers little beyond their names and the stashing angle, so the wider fantasy-football context is that managers often use waiver-wire moves to add backup running backs attached to strong offenses. Such players are typically treated as speculative lottery tickets, with value tied to future opportunity rather than immediate production. The article’s framing places all three in that high-upside stash category.
