Pete Nova argues leagues should run waivers Wednesday night so managers have the injury report before bidding on players like Rico Dowdle.

1. Top-10 Takeaways breaks down NFL Week 5 for fantasy football managers ahead of Week 6, recorded on Pete Nova's drive to a Phillies game. 2. Pete Nova hosts on the Player Profiler channel, and he discloses that he is a Denver Broncos fan when discussing Courtland Sutton. 3. The thesis is that Week 5 results should change rest-of-season rankings, with players such as Stefon Diggs, Deebo Samuel and Rico Dowdle rising and Jameson Williams falling. 4. Diggs had 10 catches on 12 targets for 146 yards and a 40% target share in New England's win over Buffalo, and he is the first Patriots receiver with consecutive 100-yard games since Julian Edelman, despite playing only 51% of snaps. 5. Courtland Sutton ranks 10th in receiving yards and 11th in points per game in PPR, and he posted 99 yards against Eagles corner Quinyon Mitchell, with an 87% snap share and 22% target share. 6. Deebo Samuel has 30 catches, 300 receiving yards, 46 rushing yards and four touchdowns in five games, and Nova says he has earned a target share even when Terry McLaurin returns. 7. Rookie Mason Taylor had a 26.1% target share for the Jets, while Cleveland tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. face top-10 matchups for five weeks with Dillon Gabriel at quarterback. 8. Nova says Woody Marks played 27 of 70 available running back snaps but remains matchup-dependent behind Nick Chubb, and he advised spending no more than 30 FAAB on him. 9. Sam Darnold is ninth in fantasy quarterback scoring and tied for first in fewest turnover-worthy plays with two, and Nova says Darnold could be streamed for the rest of the season. 10. Fantasy football managers weighing waiver bids and trades will get the most from this episode.
