Need to bolster your roster? Here is a look at the top college fantasy football prospects who may be available on the waiver wire. A special thanks to our friends at collegefootballgeek for providing us with their Waiver Wire Report for week 5.

QUARTERBACKS

THE USUAL SUSPECTS

We’ve been promoting these men in this space for a long time now:
Diondre Borel (Utah State)
Ricky Dobbs (Navy)
Dwight Dasher (Middle Tennessee)
Levi Brown (Troy)

THE HOT NAME

B.J. Daniels (USF)
Daniels rushed for 126 yards in his first start, a win over Florida State.  He should be a great option in BCS-only and deep All-120 leagues.

OTHER BCS CONSIDERATIONS

Joey Elliot (Purdue) & Mike Kafka (Northwestern)
These two make our list again.  They square off against each other next week in what could be an entertaining affair.

Chris Todd (Auburn)
9 TD passes in his last two games. However, the tough SEC slate begins now.  Can he produce at an acceptable level?

WATCH LIST

Tyler Bass (Memphis)
Bass came back to earth in his second start.  Keep an eye on him moving forward.

Zac Dysert (Miami-OH)
The freshman had a big game on Saturday in his first start with 117 yards rushing and 337 yards passing.  He could be a big-time player once MAC play is in full swing.

Andy Dalton (TCU)
Dalton isn’t like to dazzle you with a string of 40-point games, but he is a steady performer. Dalton should post solid fantasy stats this week against SMU.

Trey Revell (UL-Monroe)
This sleeper is finally hitting his stride now that Sun Belt play has begun.

RUNNING BACKS

THE USUAL SUSPECTS

Andre Dixon (Connecticut)
Robert Turbin (Utah State)
LaMichael James (Oregon)
Carlos Brown (Michigan)
Toney Baker (NC State)
Adam Robinson (Iowa)
Alexander Robinson (Iowa State)

THE HOT NAMES

Eddie Wide (Utah)
With Matt Asiata done for the season, Wide becomes the leading candidate to take over the rushing duties.  He posted 19-129-0 in Asiata’s absence last week.  Keep in mind that redshirt freshman Sausan Shakerin is still out with injury.  When he returns, it could muddle the picture a bit.

Luke Lippincott (Nevada)
Lipp will take over the starting role while Vai Taua is out.  He posted a 100 yard game against Mizzou last week after Taua went down to injury.

ONE TO WATCH

DaJuane Collins (Toledo)
Out-rushed teammate Morgan Williams 19-152-2 to 11-63-0 on Saturday.  Ride Collins while he has the hot hand.  It’s all MAC
games the rest of the way.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Duane Bennett (Minnesota)
Darius Willis (Indiana)
Lamon Muldrow (San Jose State)
Delone Carter (Syracuse)

WIDE RECEIVERS

PICK ‘EM UP

Keith Smith (Purdue)
Posted 11-136-1 against Notre Dame on Saturday, giving him 28 catches already on the young season.

Dan Buckner (Texas)
23 catches and 4 touchdowns on the season.  He’s a nice addition in BCS-only leagues.

Duke Calhoun (Memphis)
Calhoun has established a rapport with new QB Tyler Bass.  In two games, he’s grabbed 14 balls for 315 yards and 2 TDs.

Brandon Wimberly (Nevada)
Wimberly looks to be the main main in the Nevada passing game.  In his last two games, he has 13 catches for 180 yards and 2 TDs.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Erik Highsmith (UNC)
Andrew Brewer (Northwestern)
Brandon Caleb (Oklahoma)
Ryan Tannehill (Texas A&M)

TIGHT ENDS

PICK ‘EM UP

Ed Dickson (Oregon)
The Duck tight end woke up in a big way this weekend, catching 11 balls for 143 yards and 3 TDs.  He’ll probably be spotty the rest of the way, but the potential is obviously there for a few more explosions.  Wazzu is next up for Dickson.

ONE TO WATCH

Ladarius Green (UL-Louisiana)
Green was a preseason sleeper who snoozed his way through the first two games.  In his last two games, against LSU and Nebraska, he’s posted 6-64-0 and 5-68-0.  We think he’s back.  And guess what?  After a bye this week, the rest of his games are against the Sun Belt.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Marcus Green (Mississippi State)
Jonathan Massey (Southern Miss)

DEFENSES

Here are some good defensive options for this week:
Oregon vs. Washington State
South Carolina vs. South Carolina State
Cincinnati vs. Miami (OH)
Baylor vs. Kent State
Texas Tech vs. New Mexico
